How to Improve a Farm.

The best and shortest way to i'm
prove farm is to reduce the stock,
pillow your fallOws in winter so that the
soil will be warm and dry and the SUBJ
soil decOmpOsed early in the spring.
Harrow we'll and then SOW ten or
twelve quarts of grass seed to the
acre wheL you put in your oats. If all
take. your chance is good for obtaining
from five to ten acres of oats and q
field seeded down to grass. Then pre-
pare as many acres for rye-sOwing.
provided your land is not good enough
for wheat, and the two crops will give
you all the straw you need. and the
corn field. with usual good luck. will
produce enough to fatten stock. At the
end of the season you will have the
produce from fifteen or twenty acres
of land, represented in oats, corn and
potatoes. and as many acres sown with
rye and wheat. Keep just stock enough
to eat up the produce in grain and
hay, and after gathering your next
years crop OF hay and grain, covering
say fifty acres Of your farm of one
hundred acres, you may think Of add
ing as many head of cattle as your
farm will sustain without purchasing
heavily Of foreign supplies. BY the
end of the fourth year you are ready
to put in crop of wheat and save
blowing up your bottom meadow, you
have re-seeded your whole farm and
are now ready to enlarge your dairy
and at the end Of ten years your land
ought to be in . condition to double
your crops and the number of your
cattle. This Il rotation. Practical
Farmer.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE ABROAD.

The Condition Of Affairs In France-Pro-
gress In Business and Education.
The woman question" is making at
last a stir in France. all the greater for
the length of time it has been STAYED
of. 1t is only within two or three
years that there has been a decided ris-
ing against conventual education-a
custom so long established that 'leav-
ing the convent" has become in French
a synonym for finishing a girls educa-
ton. At this moment the public is oc-
pied with the attempts of women 10 en-

insisted on competing with the men in

is already overcrowded; to which the
Temps replies very aptly. that if women
doctors cling to the cities, men doctors
do the same thing, in spite OF the over
crowding. Conservatives are still

This is side of the woman question
which can not be reached by law. 1t
is the outgrOwth and survival of the
time when women were chattels. and

guilty who sacrifices his daughters

may carry on the business and the
home in the old style. Every one OF
the political disabilities of women can

removal of this social wrong will be a
work of many years. The sexes will
be equal in the eyes of the law for a
long time before public opinion can

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.

Deliberate Cruelty of Which Many Fa-
theirs Are Guilty.
Is woman the equal of man? The
question has been asked many thou
sands of times and answered with
fierce negatives, which, however, have
been growing fainter and fainter as
civilization has progressed. Generally
speaking, the greater the degree of
civilization of the individual man the
more willingly does he concede that
woman was created the equal of the
other sex, though with different quail
ties. But there are few believers in the
equality of the sexes who carry
their opinions into practice even in
their own families. Theoretically the
girls of a family are entitled to have
as much spent on their education as is
spent on that of the boys; to have the
same care bestowed upon fitting them
to fight this worlds battle as is be-
slowed upon the boys; to have bust
ness or profession chosen for them and
to be fitted for it; to be furnished with
capital to the same extent with the
boys, and. finally, to share alike with
the boys in the partition of the family
property on the death of the parents.
In how many Canadian homes is this
equitable treatment of the daughters
carried out? In few, we opine, and
the better of the parents are in this
worlds goods the worse are the girls
likely to fare
It is too much the habit of fathers
to spend all their means in pushing
along their sons. leaving the daughters
to take the chances in the matrimonial
lottery. Hence we often see q son
launched into the world with abundant
capital, the benefit of his fathers finan-
cial backing, and what is better
still. the incalculable advantage of the
experience Of men and affairs gained
by the father in long and successful
business career. What does the father
DO for the sister of this young man?
II the father Is lucky enough to possess

TOILET NOVELTIES.

All About Buttons, EmbrOideries, Trim.
mings and Hair Dressing.
The buttons now used on handsome
toilettes cost in some instances almost
as much as the dress fabrics. The
newest buttons are made of four ma
terials and are designed after ancient
models. The mOther-of-pearl button
initiates the opal in its iris. Then
there is the black mother-of-pearl but
ton. with its gold or steel arabesques,
which are made in no less than forty
eight different shades to match the
dress materials of to-day. Veined
ivory and steel buttons are also in ia
vOr, and these are engraved, cut or
enameled in various antique designs.
Almost every new and elegant tot
lette is now accompanied by kerchief,
reticule or sachet bag, made of the
materials composing the dress, or in
contrasting colors, for instance, with
a terra-cotta dress, the bag is of blue
velvet lined or faced with terra-cotta
in light shade in china silk. The
bag is fancifully embroidered in colors
and gold, and slightly perfumed with
sachet powder.
In France tho rage for embroidery
is carried to bed linen, which is
needle-worked in white, and is edged
round with old guipure lace, if pro-
durable, if not Torchon lace is used.
Bed linen lace must be strong and
heavy, and fine crochet lace may be
used, but if 80, it must be exceed
ingly fine.
Among the toilet novelties shown
with other fancy furnishings are
dainty baskets in pond lily and tulip
shape. beautifully bronzed or gold
colored. lined with bright hued ribbon.
trimmed with contrasting bows, hold
ing in stands elegant bottles of hand
kerchief extracts or toilet waters.
My lady's lamp shade is truly a
work of art, delicately tinted in cream.
azure, blush. heliotrope and other
colors. and exquisitely decorated in
vines and flowers in gold colors, which
fuse and become part of the glass when
it is fired, so that the figures never
wear or even wash of. 1t is said that
there are only about forty experts in
this dainty work in America, and to
our pride it is known among high class
dealers that the most charming novel
ties in artistic lamp-shades are pro-
duced in Philadelphia establishment
The newest styles of trimmings are
velvet patterns worked in applique
and borders in satin stitch and point
dor. Also very rich fringes in grad
uated shades of color are used as fin
ishings.

popular. is only round plated collar.

question which within few years has
