HOME DRESS-MAKiNG.
Hints For ladies Accustomed to Doinl
the Family Sewing.

Hints For ladies Accustomed to Doing
the Family Sewing.
Home dress-making has been of late
years reduced to a comparatively easy
task by the number of articles or parts
of the dress that can be bought of the
shops all ready to he sewn on. This
facilitates the task, so that all that is
required is to fit the dress, sew up the
seams, and drape it. All the minutiae
of the work, the covering of whale
bones, the making of yoke or bands to
the skirt, and numerous other ''putter-
ing small work is done away with, as
all these parts of the dress can be
bought in the shop as cheaply as they
can be made. The single covered
steels, which are sold to take the
place OF whalebones, are not to be
recommended. 1t is no trouble to
cut the whale bone up. however, and
put them into the convenient cases of
silk, which come by the yard or piece.
1t is considerable trouble to fit a skirt
yoke, and those sold in the shops are
great convenience. More desirable than
the plated skirt-braid is the cord of
braid that is ready to be put on the
skirt with one row of stitching. Skirts
are so plain this season that they can
be easily made at home. 1t is the uni
versal practice now to make a founda-
ton skirt of silk. alpaca or cotton to all
dresses This is the lining, but it is
never sewed down to the upper part at
the bottom, but left to hang free. This
lining, or POUNDS alton skirt is faced up on
n -
inches with some of the dress goods,
and bound with braid at the bottom,
and faced up on the inside with founda-
ton muslin and alpaca or some other
strong. durable facing. The skirt prop
er, which is now without drapery. is
hung over this skirt from the waist
band and tackled to the foundation skirt
at intervals to hold it in proper place.
The bodice or waist of all dresses is
finished at the belt, which is concealed
by soft folded girdle of silk, plain
pointed girdle of cloth like the dress or
some similar continuance. Basques are
seldom seen. There are great many
dresses made row on Princess style.
There is little trimming used on wool
dress skirts, unless as a border ne
or at the bottom, or in tn
shape of narrow panel at
the left side All skirts for the house
lay on the ground, and only barely es-
cape the ground in the street The waist
of the dress is often elaborately trim
med, however. Sleeves are always very
large and high. and reach far down over
the waist, instead of being short at the
waist, as they were formerly. 1t is a
rule, If the waist is of elaborate make,
that the huge sleeve should be plain or
the reverse. BE careful to set these full
sleeves very high on the shoulder, in
order to give slender appearance to
the figure, not broad one.-N. Y.

which are required in the thickness of

DAIRY DOTS.

The following dairy items are taken
from the columns of the Massachusetts,
PlOughman:
MILK is an article whose merits and
peculiarities are little understood or
studied on thousands of farms. The
tons of poor butter made proves this.
The quarrels and squabbles of rival
breeders of fancy stock are beautiful to
see IN case you stand from under.
But they all have value if one looks at
it in the right way.
THE details as to the feeding Of farm
animals should be the subject OF care
full study, and experiment (where ex-
pertinent is neededl on every farm.
Mos. feeding is the result of habit, and
is followed as such without a why or
wherefore in multitude of instances.
IT is not the COW whose milk gives
the most butter that is necessarily "the
best butter cow" but rather the COW
who costs the least in proportion to the
yield. If to get certain yield of but
ter you must feed two or three times as
much in one case as in the other. the
cost becomes an important matter. In
comparing Jerseys and Holsteins this
matter is sometimes overlooked.
Tue sale and breeding of very high
priced cattle is confined mainly to CAPT
talists who manage a farm as side
issue and an amusement. The farmer
who lives by farming pure and simple
can not indulge in thousand-dollar COWS
and bulls. And yet the study required
in the breeding of fancy stock has been
of great value to farming in general
and is not to be discouraged.

drains and well-built stone drains the
animals enter at the outlet. This in
trusion can be easily avoided by cover
ing the outlets with wire. All drains,
and especially when the outlet is ex-
posed to the trampling of stock, should
have a strong wooden box for discharg-
ing the water through Wiring in this
case is quite an easy operation; the
wires passing through holes at the side,
top and bottom, as shown in Fig. l. In
the plan seen in Fig 2, the wire is cut
in suitable lengths, or even piece of
wire sieve or screen is passed at the
the upper end loosely around an iron or
wooden roller placed crosswise of the box
at the top. In this case the wire can be
raised up to clean out the box il desired;
and heavy pressure of water will lift
the lower end thus removing all OBJ
struction. The ,reen is of sufficient
length that it may be pressed outward
but not inward. When tiles are used
clear to the outlet, piece of wire
screen placed between the ends of the
two last tiles will answer the purpose
nearly as we'll.

Tn Our Country the Road to Success Is
Free to Every One.


In our Country tho Road to Success Is
Free to Every One.
There is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS saying
to the effect that every American boy
expects to be President of the United
States. 1t is, perhaps, not literally
true; but it seems to carry an idea OF
the general hopefulness and ambition
which the abundant opportunities for
personal distinction in this country
have inspired. 1t is a fact that there is
no other country in which the road to
success is so free to all sorts and condi-
tions of men. The great prizes of life
are not numerous anywhere, and in the
United States, as elsewhere, the few
succeed and the many fail. But the
special good fortune OF the young men
of this Republic consy IS in the fact
that they are not handicapped by arti.
fetal barriers and restraints. For bet
ter or worse, the masses are coming TO
the front in the Old World and in tho
New their will is already supreme
From his cradle the American lives
life of unrest, satisfied with no eleva-
tion while any eminence remains above
him. Hope is bird that will fly
wherever its wings are free. and ambi-
ton is born of opportunity. Disap-
pointment, of course, is the most com.
mon result. We know not how many
thousands of our countrymen have
grown prematurely old, and gray, and

example of such lives. the demonstra.
ton of such possibilities, quickens the
pulse of a nation, and American srdor,
energy and enterprise have become pro
verbal. But what philosophy of life un.
derlies and actuates this ceaseless and
universal activity? That, after all, is
the question which must test its worth.
mess Every man must have some ideal
of life. 1t is his prerogative to fix the
end of his existence and strive towards
it, II that end is power. or fame. OF
wealth. it is the craving of vanity; IL il
is simply pleasure. it is an inspiration
of selfishness. Whatever it is, it re.
fleets his character and determines ms
destiny. But there is this to be said OF
ideals of nobler sort; they can not lead
to disappointment while they are cher
ished for their own sake. The artist
may fail TO paint as he would, the
poets touch may miss the magic string.
the scientist may die before his work IS
completed, the patriot may live to see
his country defeated and oppressed. the
philanthropist may be afflicted by the
failure of his benevolent schemes; but
ideal beauty, truth and goodness are
stars that shine forever above the
storms and wrecks of time. There is nc
consolation in this reflection for the
mere materialist; it has. indeed, nc

We are reminded by an article in a
contemporary upon the encouragement
of the growth of wild grapes, that when
it is not too much trouble it is well
enough to give helping hand to this
crop. 1t is said that some prefer them
to jellies. etc. We do not know, says
the Western Rural, how this may DO,
but we doubt their value except when
the cultivated grapes are a failure. The
average man will certainly not miss the
time in training these wild vines some
what 1t will unquestionably be bet
ter employment than sitting on dry
&, DDS box and talking politics, unless
the politics is much more practical than
politics have been. 1t is true. too,
as our contemporary remarks that when
the cultivated grapes are scarce there is
a good market for the wild grape.
