FASHION NOTES.

Shot alpacas are deserVedly 1asnlon-
able.
Handsome counterpanes show pink
underthreads or shadowy foundations.
Exquisite lounging robes are made of
silk-striped terry embroidered with wash
silks.
"Robe" dresses have hand-painted
velvet flowers introduced in the trim
ming.
Sashes of surah are finished with tin
sci and silk netting above long silken
fringe.
For all fashionable correspondence the
note-sheet and envelope must be very
small.
Handkerchiefs have narrow hens,
edged with Valenciennes lace, half an
inch wide.
What are called summer rugs are
made of the feathers of birds, presum-
ably dyed.
It is quite q fashionable recreation to
find two hats on the feminine head cx-
actly alike.
Lap robes, plaided with white and
blue, gray or tan, are suitable for ladies'
village carts.
Smoothly-woven unbleached sheeting
is used for bed covers to be worked
with wash silks.
Pug dogs, because they are out of
fashion, can be had almost for the
traditional song.
Undressed white kid gloves, with
gauntlets to the elbow, are now very
much the fashion.
The fancy for belted waists continues
to grow. They are now worn with the
most stylish toilets.
One of the most popular and stylish
shapes for sleeves is the full bishop, with
q loose wrist one inch wide.
The fancy for gilt trimmings is not yet
on the wane. The newest pieces are on
the short jackets for the front only.
A pretty tea jacket is of pale green
India silk, with large sleeves OF white
null with full frills, and cravat of lace.
Russian net with pastilles in velvet is
very nice for dinner dress, If you are
rich and partial to these dreamy gowns.
Insertion is o distinctive feature Of the
seasons trimming. Many handsome
dresses have numerous rows OF insertion
let in above the hem.
The very newest pet novelty is the COL
larettc, which is universally becoming
accessory, whether fashioned of frill OF
feathers or of delicate lace.
The latest fancy in bouquets is to have
the stalks tied with inch-wide velvet rib
bon, knotted at intervals, with buds and
blossoms tied in each knot.
The long skirt Is slowly but surely
gaining ground. To be really Ia mode,
a skirt should touch the toe in front and
lie inch on the ground in the back.
Some brides ore making their bridal
calls with two cards, one for the BRIDE
groom, Joined by q bow of white silk cord
Snotted through holes pierced in the up
per left corners.
Striking contrasts are now the rule in
shoes. White kid fronts go with patent
leather and scarlet morocco backs. In
tennis shoes the colors are darker than
last year, especially of brown and tan.
Dark Russia red and black patent
leather are superseding the russets. The
shoe is simplicity itself. The lacing
across the instep shows the hosiery,
which is as handsome as it can be made.
Lace, net and figured gauzes in redin-
gotes are now worn over plain silk skirts
Overskirts of striped, brocaded, or
printed silk have redingotes in plain silk.
These redingotes show the skirt beneath
more or less generously, according to the
fancy of the wearer.

A Triple Waterfall.

One of the prettiest sights along
Hoods Canal, says the Port Townsend
Leader, is the falls Of Dusewallips, on the
Dusewallips River, in Washington. There
are three of these falls, the first 6fty.eight
feet, the second ninety-tive feet and the
third one hundred and five feet in height.
The scenery around this point is simply
grand, rivaling the famed Yellowstone
Park and Yosemite Valley in its natural
loneliness. ..--.-:-

GOOD FARMERS GARDEN.

Last fall two gentlemen from city
were being entertained at the farm. Sup
posing it their habit to sleep late, they
were left undisturbed, while we farmer
folk went to the barn to milk the COWS.
Coming back to the house, I met them
returning from stroll through the
garden, with hands full of purple clusters
literally taking their fruit as the first
course. They expressed much surprise
at finding garden in such good order
and productiveness on farm. 1t was ex-
planned that the garden is both necessity
and luxury. Living, as most farmers
do, many miles from a market, we must
grow our fruit and vegetables or 60 with
out. We showed that the plot was laid
out twice as long as wide; that all the
varieties of small fruit and vegetables,
except the asparagus bed, are kept in
rows the entire length of the garden. If
the row was too long for some variety,
two or more kinds were planted in the
same row. About once week two men
with horse, cultivator and hoe work
from one to two hours, giving the soil
a thorough stirring. A weed found in
an effort to go to seed is destroyed with
about the same energy with which a
housekeeper searches her domain for fy
or cobweb. The garden is in full sight
of kitchen door, the entrance ten feet
from it. No estimate has been made of
the profit from this little piece of land
about sixty rods-but I am sure if the
whole farm were as productive, it would
be source of a good income. While
many farmers tables are supplied with
potatoes, turnips and cabbage, compare.

more delicate vegetables, or succession

SOOTHING THE FLY-ToRalENTED COW.

SOOTHING THE FLf-TORMENTED COW.
When the patient COW, wearied with
fighting flies all day long, is brought into
the yard to be MIXED, and is quickly set
upon by fresh greedy host whose appe-
tite has not been appeased for twelve
hours, and she lifts her leg and upsets the

mixers left eye, what should he do9
Rise up in vengeance and belabor the

angry. Not at all, for that would be
adding injury to neglect. Should he tie
the cows tail to her leg and so prevent
the switchinga Not that either. Let him
soothe the cows pains and relieve her
from her tormenters. If he has clean
darkened stable, free from flies by care
taken to exclude them through the day,
the milking should be done there. If not,
sheet laid on the cows back and tied
under the belly, and quick brushing on
the legs with sponge dipped in an in
fusion of tansy, or in water with few
drops Of carbolic acid, or some kerosene
emulsion with soft soap will insure CON-
fort and peace to the COW and safety to
the pail and to the mixers eyes from
the switching tail.-Neeo York Times.

KEEP A BIG SPONGE IN THE STABLE.

A good big sponge is an indispensable
article in every stable; it is just the
thing for bathing the horses shoulders
after the days work is done. Keep the
sponge in sight, and it will suggest the
idea of bathing the horses all over oc-
casionaily. You will need 1t for clean
ing the harness whenever they become
dirty, and it will come handy when you
wish to clean up the stall and windows.
Anyone who tries to get along without
good sponge in his stable does not realize
what be misses.-Ndtional Horse Breeder.

1t is rumored that Patsy Connor
of Bernice will be candidate for
Member, subject to the Democratic
Convention this fall. Patsy is
numbered among the bes> workers
of the Democratic party il Sullivan
county and for the past years has
had the supervision Of the Company
Store al Bernice which has brought
him more or less before the public.
Should the rumor prove true that
Mir. Connor is candidate, the list
OF Democratic aspirants for the hon.
ors of this office will reach three,
which we have already heard of,
viz: Russell Harms of LaPorte,
Josh Lull of Bernice and Patsy
Connor of Bernice. The two latter
residing in Bernice will give Mr..
karns tride the advantage in their
convention and the probability is,
he will receive the nomination.

We have recently heard it re-
marked that Mr. Hawk of Cherry
twp, who is slightly insane is re-
ceiving inhuman treatment at the
hands of those in charge of him.
Our informant could not say posi-
lively who his keepers are, but con-
tinued that the person or persons
were either a private individual who
lives adjoining the insane mans
farm, for which trouble, (if the story
is correctly he is to receive the Hawk
property at the date of his, Hawh's)
death. The others blamed for the
misconduct of the old man are the
overseers of the poor of Cherry twp.
In either event the latter are some
what in the blame as it is their busi-
ness to look after such individuals
residing in their immediate district.
Hawk resides on MS Iafn ana Is
kept in filthy condition and is fed
on cheap and cold nourishments. He
was an old veteran and we think it
would only be just and proper for
his comrads in that part of the coun-
ty to look into the matter and if the
story is true, bring the guilty party
OF parties to justice. The editors
of the Dushore papers would do a
worthy act by visiting the scene and
publish the same for the benefit of
their readers, condemning those in
charge of the old veteran to the low
est pitch of condemnation.

master to mark it refused, and have
a postal card sent notifying the
publisher, makes himself liable to
arrest and fine, the same rs for

The cemetery fence is badly in
need of repairs and should receive
the immediate attention of our
people. With one or two days work
at this date the structure could be
repaired and made serviceable for a
year or two but if postponed and
put over will necessitate new fence
in the very near future. 1t is true,
that what is everybodys business
is nobodys business and is
apt to be neglected. What
our people should do, however for
the proper management of this es-
sential and important business is to
appoint one good man as a COM
mite to look after and make the
proper repairs and beautifying and
levy tax on the people for COM
pensating him for the same.
