Grasslloppers In California.

Professor Coquillct of the Entomo-
logical Section of the Agricultural De-
parrment of the Government, who has
been investigating the grasshopper in
vasion in California, is credited with the
statement that the most effective remedy
for the grasshopper plague would be to
burn over the breeding places. To do
this before the little hoppers swarm in
the early summer could hardly do any
good, as the females deposit their eggs
nearly an inch below the surface of the
ground, where fire would not reach them.
The pests might be destroyed by fire be-
fore they are able to fly, but in the foot
hill and valley sections of California this
procedure would be full of danger, as
fires could not we'll be controlled in the
dry grass. 1t is true that plowing around
the fields might render it safe to start
fires, and if all farmers would do this in
the locality where the hoppers are known
to breed, the young ones might be de-
stroyed. II is a noticeable fact that
grasshoppers are not bred where the
ground is frequently cultivated, there
fore, if the virgin plains in the eastern
portion of the country were torn up oc-
casionally by the plow and harrow, thus
exposing the eggs, the grasshopper
nuisance in this section might be dis
posed of.

NEW PATTERNS IN SHOT SILKS.

The prettiest of the new shot silks are
scattered over with chine flowers and tiny
garlands. These make ideal garden par
" toilets. Crepe dc chine also is figured
with exquistely tinted flowers as effective
as hand-planted clusters. Delicious
China silks are dotted with petit pois
spots in color, and dresses made of these
silks are trimmed with old point Allen
con or draped with panniers and dounces
of lace the color of the gay dot in the
silk. The lace also forms the deep Stu
art collar and transparent sleeves. An
elegant toilet worn at ball in the
mountains recently was made of cream
crepe de chine dotted with lilac, with
iounces OF lilac silk lace festooned at
the foot of the sheath skirt, with all the
fullness plated in the middle of the back
and slightly trained to lie number Of
inches on the floor. The almost seam

THE FATTENING OF PIGS.

The most profitable manner of feeding
pigs is to keep them constantly IN con-
dition for slaughter. The continu-
Gus growth thus made is the most profit
able, as all the food is turned to the
best use without any lose of time or
weight. The animal that is constantly
growing makes the most flesh in the
least time, and thus turns the food to the
most profitable use. A pig of nine
months may thus gain the same weight
as one of more than year, and the feed
ing over the winter is thus saved, with
a corresponding gain. By the hest feed
Ing the animal, if Of q good breed, may
be made to reach weight of 300 pounds
in less than year, and without be-
Ing FED over winter in which the food
is nearly all required to support it with
out adding to its weight. The best
breed for breeding for profit is probably
the Berkshire, but this depends scme-
what on the conditions and the locality.
It is advisable in making business of
feeding pork to keep the pigs on a clover
pasture through the summer and finish on
high feeding with grain early in the
fall and before the cold weather.-Neu
York Times.

The Man-Faced Crab.

One of the most singular-looking
creatures that ever walked the earth
or 'sswam the waters under the earth is
the world-famous man-faced crab OF
Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length, yet the head is fitted with q face
which is the perfect counterpart of that
a Chinese coolie a veritable missing link,
with eyes, nose and mouth all clearly de-
fnel. This curious and uncanny crea-
ture, besides the great likeness it bears
to human being in the matter of facial
features, is provided with two legs, which
seem to grow from the top of its head
and hang down over the sides OF its face.
Besides these legs, two "feelers," each
about an inch in length, grow from the
"chin'' of the animal, looking for all the
world like a Colonel's forked beard.
These man-faced crabs fairly swarm in
the inland seas of Japan.-St. Louis Re-
q1n5lar.

MAIDS IN LIVERY.

Almost as great a movement is in pro-
gress in England, in the slow and con-
servative fashion of most movements over
there, as is the dress reform crusade
which is gathering force for its concerted
effort on thus side the Atlantic. It is the
abolition of elaborate livery for men ser
wants, says the Pittsburg Dispctch. For
generations the funky in padded calves,
powdered wig and silk small clothes has
been the correct adjunct to all well regu-
lated households of the upper class, and
his number in each household has been
in proportion to the Importance and
wealth of the family. And not only is
the gay livery going-the men them
selves are being put aside in favor Of
women. Many good families have entire
ly given up employing men servants, and
have parlor and waiting maids in their
stead. These wear distinctive livery,
one lady putting her women ip plain
gowns of gray, with red aprons, and
courier bags worn at the side; red caps
made like the white ones were also worn.
Another woman preserves the dark green
of her mems liveries for the maids, with
red caps and aprons. These are donned
after IL o'clock, when the heavier work
of the day, cleaning, etc., should be
over. For morning wear, black dresses
with white apron and caps are used

Bismarck's Gallantry.

In spite of his old age, Prince Bis
marck has lost none of his gallantry. To
young lady who lately asked to be al
lowed to kiss his hand, he replied, "Oh,
no! That is not good enough for so
charming damselI" Whereupon His
Excellency, without further ado, gave
the young lady kiss. The Prince is
very active in business matters when at
home on his estate. In his brick-kilns
at Friedrichsruhe he is producing a new
kind of brick and tile. In place OF his
saw-mills, which were burned down not
long ago, he has erected new ones, which
are busily engaged in executing some
large orders for wood pavement. The
Princes income from his mills and other
industrial works is reported to be up
ward of $4,000 year.-NeU York
Tribune.

thing of variety and splendor, says 9

thing of variety and splendor, says q
fashion writer. Foremost in the ranks
of novelty is the English corselet waist.
1t is aimed to make this conceit, the
ccrselet portion buttons or hooks over q
loose blouse, as quaint and rich-looking
rs possible. The endeavor succeeds so
well in some instances that it would seem
as though the corselet was copied from
some old portrait painted in the
medieval times. The idea is aptly illus
trated in a freshly imported tea gown.
The corselet buckles, with rich, an
tique silver clasp over blouse of pale,
sea.foam green chiffon, and is itself made
of hunters green velvet, wrought Curl
ously with silver threads and encrusted
with cut stones, stimuli lated emeralds,
pearls, and just sufficient rubies to lend
brilliant color. A favorite way of max
ing indoor bodices is to cut the material
on the cross and to fit it snugly to the
figure without single dart. The low
cut neck is ruff1ed generously with wide
lace that narrows and curves its graceful
way into the waist line. And what a
lace season 1t is, all grades and patterns
are used in lavish profusion. A new
French lace called Lyons, showing rich
silk embroidery raised on stout net, is
winning admiration, and will be used
extensively on handsome cool weather
gowns. Jetted lace is the trimming, par
excellence, for black fsille and lace toll
cts, and the winter bathrooms will be re-
splendent with laces, black and white,
powdered with glistening stuffs and
studded with tiny jewels. Quite novel,
and as expensive as it is new, is rich
cream white guipure, sprinkled with cut
jet. This makes peculiarly striking
trimming for tea or reception dresses.
Fortunate owners of rich black Brussels
point are using it with great effect en-
white and pale-toned silk gowns. A mis-.
take easily made and one that is lnvari-
ably frowned upon by the connoisseur,
is the misuse of lace, This usually oc-
ours by reason of too much generosity.
An over-abundance of lace on costume
chespens it sadly.-Detrot Free Press.

An Oddity in Painting.

The provincial cities of France are just
now being entertained by o remarkable
artist, one who displays wonderful skill
IN her own peculiar style of painting.
With plates of various colored sand
before her, she takes the sand in her
right hand and causes it to fall in beauti-
full designs upon table. A bunch OF
grapes is deftly pictured with violet sane, ,
a leaf with green sand and relief and
shadows with sand of the colors to suit.
When this has been admired by those
artistlcally inclined, it is brushed away
and is soon replaced by bouquet of roses
or some other object, all done with great
dexterity and delicacy. Even the finest
lines are drawn with streams Of sand, all
as distinct as though mado with an
artists brush.

Milk in a Paper Bag.

A merry-hearted lad, who is often sent
on errands of household needs and neces-
sites, discovers new method of "bring-
ing home groceries and sich." "Hcrc
are two pounds of chops, good scant
weight" said the grocer to the young
man of the family who had brought i'll
an order from his wife; "now for your
milk-where's your cana The young
man of the family protested that he
hadn't read the order, and had not been
equipped with can. "Never mind, !"
said the grocer; "here, hold on to it,"
and he dexterously slipped one paper
bag inside of another and flliped the
corners into place. The two quarts of
milk were poured into the inner bag.
"The grease in the milk prevents its 60
ing through the paper, as water would"
explained the grocer. ''Ihad hard work
to get people to believe that they could
carry milk in bag at first, and let it 60
at my own risk. I've sent it so half a
mile by slow transit; still, I'd advise
you not to stop to tell long stories on the
way home. ."-American Dairyman.

WOMEN WHO CAN WEAR BLUE.

The question of the becomingness of
blue is one that is continually arising.
Napoleon blue, a grayish tint, is only
adapted to brunettes, and the peculiar
shade of blue which is sometimes called
sapphire, sometimes called robins egg,
sometimes electric blue. is also best suited
to ladies with dark hair and clear dark
compilations. These shades are very apt
to make blonde look colcrless. Apure
blonde with clear eyes can always wear
baby blue in the evening, but if she
wishes the whiteness of her skin and the
blueness of her eyes and the yellow OF
her hair to be brought out most efec-
lively she will choose rose color. All
the dark shades of blue are suited to
her, and she will be wisest if she chooses
them in preference to all other shades of
the color. ladies Home Journal.

CARE IN MILKING.

So simple an operation as milking q
COW it would seem anyone might do

tention to it great injury is inflicted
upon the financial results of many
dairies.
In the first place, the COW must be
treated kindly. Harsh treatment scar.
ing her by loud talk or any i'll treat.
ment, is sure to have its effect upon the
COW in diminishing the quantity of
milk, and such course will not pay. In
the next place, the cow must be thor
oughly MIXED. If nilked in hurry
and not thoroughly MIXED, she will not
give so much by about quart day as
she would i carefully stripped till all
the milk is removed from the udder; and
then if the milk is not all removed 1t
tends to dry up the COW. Much injury
is done to dairies in this way. Few
hired men have interest enough in the
matter to thoroughly milk the COWS,
and generally doing this work before
the regular days work. and after the
work is done at night, they do it in a
hurry, without taking care to remove
all the milk.
h At the Mississippi Experiment Station
test was made with five COWS. Work
man A, who was supposed to be good
mixer, MIXED them for two weeks, and
the milk was weighed each day. Then
another workman, B, who was told the
object of the experiment, ,,nilked the same
COWS two weeks, with the same care and
feed as before. He obtained 244. s
pounds of milk more than the other man
did, an average of two and onc-halt
pounds per day for each cow. A differ
ence like that would make quite diff
ference in the income from dairy, nc
cordiDg to whether it was thoroughly
MIXED or not.-Nussaclrsstts Plough.

THE GIRL WHO TEACHES.

Sound health is q prime necessity for
any worker in the world, no matter what
the line of work may be, but it becomes
of the greatest importance if the work Is
to be carried on in the school-room,
write Caroline B. lie Row in the Septem-
Der Ladies' Home Journal. There not
only the physical, but the nervous and
mental forces are taxed to their utmost.
The young graduate has hitherto gone to
school to SIT comfortably at her desk; to
stand occasionally for recitations; to use
her voice but little; to have constant
variety in her work; to enjoy her recess
with perfect freedom and in congenial
companionship. As teacher she goes
to school to stand upon her feet all day
long; to use her voice necessarily, per
haps, too, in large room filled with the
tunult of the street; to keep noisy, aud,
very likely, rebellious aud disobedient
children not only quiet, but interested,
and to spend the recess in care OF them
IN the halls and the yard. Besides this
she is to stimulate their brains, and q
certain amount of tlme-usually pre-
,cribed BY 6oard of Education, the
members of which know little of the ca
pacity and possibilities of the youthful
minds allotted her, in which she must,
somehow or other, succeed in tesching
them q certain number of facts-no al
owance being made for the slowness,
stupidity or disorder which increases the
friction of the work and delays the do
ing. No matter how complete the ed
ucation, or how enthusiastic the spirit,
the power for physical endurance is
absolutely necessary.

REcLAIMING WORKOUT LAND.


The only safe way to make farming
profitable is to constantly increase the
productiveness of land. Those who rely
on the profit from selling crops find that
beside the cost of growing them some
part of the farm itself has been sold.
Production carries with it part of the
original capital. Unless this is restored
crops decrease, until finally they do not
pay cost of cultivation, and the farm is
only saved from being wholly abandoned
by being left to grow grass. Under this
treatment it may have little value for
pasture, and in time gradually increase
in fertility, until the sod will .produce
one or two more cultivated crops. As
soon as possible on such land get a
growth of clover, and the first crop thus
got had better be plowed under, as it is
impossible to make the first crop grown
thus pay for cultivation otherwise. By
the time the land has been thoroughly
cultivated one year it should be seeded
with clover again. This crop may be
cut and fed on the farm, taking care to
return all the manure it makes, and as
much more as can be bought to grow
clover again. In few years poor land
may be restored to its natural fertility
mainly by use of clover. But land that
was never rich in mineral plant food will
not be productive until it Is applied, and
It needs exceptional advantages of loca-
ton to make it pay to reclaim land that
is poor in every respect. 1t is better to
begin with land that was originally
good.-Boston Cultiuat9r.

TO START A BALKY HORSE.

A correspondent of Our Dumb Aninals
says that the way to start q balky horse is
to take up one of his fore feet and strike
the shoe few times with stone. He
claims to have started several horses in
this way which had stubbornly resisted
more violent efforts to make them move.
he also says that he has never known
this simple method to fail. 1t is not
much trouble to test this plan, and if it
works there will certainly be very great
gain over the methods usually employed.
It will pay people who areso unfortunate
as to have balky horses to give it a trial.
