FlOuncos for Winter Use.

Flounces have appeared upon dressy
winter toilets, dinner costumes and tea
gowns. At a house where the latest
Partisan toilets are always to be found
is, for example, exhibited costume of
Eiffel red heather cloth trimmed with
heavy satin ribbon of darker shade.
There are similar narrow ribbons put
on the founce in straight rows. An
other toilet of black armure silk for
evening wear has the founces trimmed
with English pink MORE veined with
jet. A dress of pink and silver shot
surah is made with narrow pinked
founces. A toilet for a wealthy South

point under each lower corner.
After tacking it is we'll to go over it
with putty-bulb, and spread on white
lead and putty, made thin enough to
run, by mixing it with boiled oil, one
third of each. The roof should be made
in the same way. A sash should be ar
ranged to lift on the roof, also at the
end, for ventilation. These can be
lifted by curved irons in which there
are holes made to slip over staples, thus
enabling you to fasten the sash at any
point. :"
A floor is not desirable; simply pound
ing the earth down firm and hard will
do quite as we'll, and better, in fact, as
the soil will absorb water-which it will
afterward give off in moisture. The
benches or shelves should be about two
feet and half from the bottom. Two
or three can be run across the ends. A
table or stage for plants may occupy the
center of the room. Two or three hun
dred plants can be grown in such a
greenhouse, and they will be- much
more healthy and vigorous than any
kept in living-rooms. 1t will be the
pleasantest part of the dwelling.

A modification of this rack is made by
covering tight with boards the part Of
the Stats over the heads of the sheep,
thus preventing the hay-seed from
dropping down on their heads and wool.
An advantage is likewise gained by
separating the spaces for the sheep
from each other by mailing an inch
board upright for each space, leaving
seven inches opening for each sheep,
and thus allowing sixteen inches for
each, which would be required for large
breeds. (The upright boards at each end

OF course 1t would be necessary to fur
nish the teat for such house from the
dwelling with which it would have to
be connected by double doors, which
could be thrown open at night. The
walls can be made of posts set in the
ground as one would set fence posts,
taking care to set them low enough to
reach below the frost-limit, to prevent
heaving. These should be set about
two feet apart. All the posts should be
of the same thickness.
They should be boarded up, outside
and in, with cheap, matched lumber,
over which layer of tarred sheathing-
paper should be tackled. Then give the
inside ceiling with cheap lumber and
J the outside finishing of clapboards.
In this way you get snug walls, with an
air-space between, which will keep out
frost more effectually than brick wall.

Trees in Winter,

Trees to many persons are attractive
only when they are clothed with leaves,
and many people whose interest in them
is considerable do not notice those Pc
culiarities which make it easy to recog-
nize one tree from another after the
leaves have fallen. But to the real
lover OF trees they are equally beanti-
full and interesting at all seasons of the
year; and no one can pretend to know
trees we'll who can not distinguish the
different species as quickly and as easily
in winter as in spring or summer. II
trees are considered from an ornamental
point OF view only, almost every one of
them has some special and peculiar
beauty which is only displayed in win
ter. The fine spray of the beech is seen
ouly at this season of the year, and
there Is no more beautiful object in
nature than the delicate ramitcations
of the American beech seen against tn Q
clear blue sky of brilliant winter day.
The sturdiness of the oak is only real
lied in winter, when the knotted
strength of its limbs is noe disguised
under their covering of leaves. The

i've object in winter than at any other
season of the year; and what is there
more stimulating to the imagination
than to stand on a clear winters day
and look up into the marvellous structure
of ona of the great elms which, here
and there, still grow near some of our
northern rivers? The bark OF all trees
appears, at least, more beautiful in win
ter than at other seasons, because the
eye, undisturbed by the contemplation
ofmasses of foliage, can then take in all
the details of its varied texture and
wonderful colors. Garden and Forest.

THE SOLDIERS. HOME,

THE SOLDIERS HOME,
Second Annual Report of tho Tr.A ssos--
A Good Showing.
The second annual report of the board
OF trustees Of the Minnesota Soldiers
Home was recently made public. Tho
report covers the year ended July 81.
The current expenses for the year were
S25, 900. As the average membership of
the home for the year was 101 mon, the
cash expense Of maintenance per capita
is shown to be sa47.4s. This covers not
only food and clothing, but all other ex-
penses.
The total number of applications for
admission to the home filed since its or
ganlzation is 2s4 OF these 1872 original
applications for admission, besides four
applications for readmission, we're filed
during the year just closed. The actual
admissions and membership for the year
are as follows:

The average age of the members now
in the home is tifty-eight years. The
average term of army service is twenty
eight months. The average period OF
their residence in Minnesota is twenty
one years. Their disabilities are nu-
merous, but wounds rheumatism and
paralysis are found to be the leading
ailments. More than 40 per cent. of
the members present are at all times
inmates of the hospital or subjects of
medical treatment.
The total expenditures from the re-
lief fund were $S4,6S2.79. OF this
amount 81, 191. 90 were expended for Sec
retary's salary, postage for secretary
and county agents, printing, sta
tionery and other necessary ex-
penses, leaving $S3, 49O.so, expended
directly for relief during the twelve
months of the fiscal year. The amount

In conclusion the trustees say: The
experience of Minnesota in disbursing
this soldiers relief fund ought to be an
incentive to all our people to unite in
an intelligent demand for a more just
and liberal pension policy on the part of
the National Government. Minnesota
is now paying out about $50,0O0 year
for the relief of disabled and desti-
tute veterans outside the State
Soldiers Home, every dollar CT which
should be paid by the United
States. Nay, more, the relief fur
nished by the State is still so glaringly
inadequate that an addition of more
than double that sum to the present
pension disbursements in this State
would fall far, short of the needs and the
deservings of our surviving ex-soldiers.
