The woman,s Problem OF To-Day.

How to secure good health should
be one OF the first problems for
this generation OF women. This is
The demand their subjects will make
of those they are browning as queens
OF the hearth and the home. Give us
bright, fresh, kindly-hearted sisters,
say the lads and the little brothers in
the homes. Give us happy, healthy
faces over our cradles. plead the babes,
who find their heaven in mothers
eyes. Give us cheer and laughter and
q little fun, say the fathers, turning
YEARLY toward their firesides at the
end OF day of toll. Give us bright
word and q helping hand and your
dainty touch on household ways, say
the mothers, who would give their
lives any day to see their daughters
well and strong and glad Give us
health, is the cry from all the world
to its women. Give us girls with
physique that will spare us the NOR

OF your eyes.
The old world is weary and travel
worn, and it sits, as the master sat
over against the well of Samaria, and
says, Woman, give me to drink"
The youth and health OF womanhood
are like a cup that holds refreshment
for every thirsty and weary soul.
Do not have to answer, II have moth
ing to draw with and the well is
deep"
This is, as have said, the problem
of to-day. 1t Is not our purpose now
and here to suggest how best it can be
solved. To the true seeker it will
open its intricacies one by one One
little single hygienic law of sleep, OF
diet, OF dress or exercise, the first
and simplest that you know, obeued,
and the work is begun. Knowing the
next thing to do is not important un-
til you have done the next thing you
know.
Any society, called by whatever
name, that so begins and so goes on,
begins at the root OF noble living, and
may be sure, however slow their
growth, that every step planted firm
ly on hygienic fact will be step not
only toward personal physical we'll

race as we'll.
II women once arouse themselves to
the danger, and take hold of the mat
ter in earnest, we shall not be long in
seeing a more hopeful sign in the sky.
Already is there morning glimmer
flashing in the columns OF the press.

question how many healthy women he
numbers among his acquaintance but
will welcome the CLEAN of this dawn.

threads. Edge the bottom with ecru

center OF each plat lay strip Of en-
broidery, done in colors, the center
one the longest, and graduating in
longth toward the sides. Shir the
top, and fasten with ribbon or ties OF

One very pretty apron is made Of
fine scrim. cut long enough to reach
slightly below the knees. This is to
be hemmed and edged all around with
wide lace, set on plain. Each side OF
the apron is tucked with four-inch
tucks, turning toward the middle. and
on each tuck is set a strip of cardinal
velvet ribbon. The middle of the
apron is gathered, the tucked sides
left plain, and it is attached to car
dinal velvet belt.
Stripes OF seersucker and Russian
laces, alternating, make very pretty
and inexpensive aprons.

with bright vine embroidered or
painted across the bottom, or with a
flower in one corner and one on the
pocket, placed on the opposite side, is
durable and pretty.
Fancy towels make neat aprons IL
doubled down about one-fourth their
length so as to show both borders,
plated to fit, and fancy cord and
tassels used as belt.
Pongee is another nice material for
aprons, trim with embroidery, lace,
ribbons or combination of the three.
A silk tissue called ..luten" is beau
tiful and delicate as frost work, and
makes exquisite aprons when embrCid-
cred with washing silks. Though of

One pretty and odd apron is Of fine
web or piece lace, the right side hang
ing straight and plain, while the other
side is closely plated and trimmed
with numerous long loops OF white
picot-edge ribbon, which depends from
the belt. Home Magazine.

One Of the things Of prime Importance
for the health Of fowls, and without
which they cannot he kept in an improv-

large, not much attention To this is re-
quircd, as they can generally look out
Tor themselves, and they will be found
scratching out hollows in the dry ground
and busting themselves to their great
satisfaction. Now that winter is here.
provision should be made so that they
can continue to take their dry.dust baths
under shelter
For this purpose nothing is better than
dry road dust, and every one keeping
fowls should lay in Il supply while it can
be obtained and keep enough of it for
their use through the winter, when the
ground outside has become wet and
muddy or frozen. Where there arc
many fowls it is quite good plan to
have a small room with window facing
to the south for this special purpose,
rather than Il box of dirt in their roo:t-
ing place or nesting-room, so that they
may dust themselves without covering
everything else with dust. Where there
has been neglect to provide dusty earth
for this purpose, ashes may be substitu-
ted, and answer the purpose very well.
Persons who fail to make any provision
whatever, aud keep their fowls from this
time on until spring without anything
OF the kind, need not expect many eggs,
and will find them suffering from YER

TIE vALuE OF FRUIT TREES.

"a good fruit tree is worth fifty
dollars" We heard au old farmcr say re-
Gently. If this is true. an orchurd of
one acre containing fifty trees should in
crease the value of the farm upon which
1t is situated by the pleasant sum of
S2o00-less, of course, the original value
OF that individual acre. While it might
DC difficult to find purchaser who
would accept this valuation, says II. X.
James in the american Agyiculturist, my
own experience inclincs me to the be-
lief that the farmers assertion was not
far from right. A money yield of three
dollars per annum from each tree would
give SIX per cent upon this capitalized
value. 1t is poor tree that will not
average this, even allowing for Off years,
and oil years are not so frequent rs to
alternate regularly with the bearing ones
A healthy tree, properly cared for, will
give crop two years out of three that
will pay for harvesting. Occasionally n
tree will give Il crop that will lay the
interest for many years in one. An Early
Richmond cherry tree paid nc last year
eight dollars, besides the fruit used at
home, which was sufficient to pay entire
cost of gathering. From sweet cherry
tree this year | sold three aud one half
bushels at two dollars per bushcl
Two Chickasaw plum trees. growing

covering space OF about five hundred
square feet frequently pay ten dollars in
season. which would be ut the rate of
over $500 per acre. a pear tree near by
yields ten bushels in good season. and
one dollar per bushel is not all unusual
price. Three early apple trees this sea-
son gave over fifty bushels, which sold
at from eighty cents to 81 20 per bushcl.
The trees were so full that had to com
mencc picking while yet very green, to
save the limbs from breaking Yet the
same trees last year gave a crop that paid
more than six per cent. upon value at
fifty dollars each. oh
These figures are not exceptional nor
peculiar to n specially favorable locality
but are such as may be attained almost
anywhere in our broad lard if discretion
is used in the selection of varieties, and
good care taken of the trees from the
time they are planted. 1t is true that
the above figures are not obtained from
IL regular orchard, but from Il few trees

An Immense Cave Discovered.

III. II. Sturm, of indianapolis, and

which they have since explored. The

feet. At the end of this passage was a
stcp-oH of about five feet, and Immediate
~ to the left was chamber about eight
feet in diameter, the walls rising gradual
point overhead thirty feet from the floor.
The walls were hung with numerous
stone pendants, water at the time drip
ping down. A passage way eighteen
inches wide and ten feet long led from
this opening toward the northwest to
another chamber similar to the first, but
about sixty feet high. A passage way
then brought the party into still another
room, it being little smaller than the
first. From this narrow aisle sixty
feet long and seven feet high led rorth
west to "a very small opening or man.
hole, through which the reporter crawlcd
with a lamp, and found that the passage
was blocked by large quantity of sand
and debris, brought by the rains that
pour mt times down the whole cave.
AT the end of this last passage there
led off two openings about as large as a
stovc-pipe. Stamping on the ground
brought out the fact that chamber was
at some place under this last passage.
