RING FOR THE BRIDEGROOM.

Society bellies have revived, or are
trying to revive, the old Italian custom,
dating from medieval times, of the
bride presenting the bridegroom with a
ring. The ring is of iron or steel,
wrought with letters of caballistic mean
ing, inlaid with gold or silver, and
sometimes set with a precious stone.
sMay God protect the wearer," in Ara
bic characters, is favorite inscription.
Moonstones or star sapphires, protecting
the wearer from evil; or weird red and
green Alexandrites, are often set in these
rings.--NeU York World.

THE FLOWER. FAD.

The latest fad among the smart women
fs to dress after flower, writes "Bab'
Fin recent letter. 1t seems to you an
easy something. That is because you
|are man; it is because of your expe-
Irience in trousers, waistcoats, blazers and
white shirt fronts. Now, dressing after
b flower means having your underwear
match it, having your gown the same
hue, having your bonnet trimmed with
the flowers, using always the same flower,
snd having your parasol in harmony,
hnd slippers that are at least near, if they
Ire not the exact color. I know two
women who have gone in for it. One
has made up her mind that she will dress
Ilways as a violet, "always' meaning
Tor the summer time, and the other
IS a forget-ne-not. They are intimate
trends and live together, and the
bale blre and the pale mauve make
he latest French contrast. The
Fiolet young woman has chiffon China
ilk, or Grape gowns of pale violet,
trimmed with white or black lace, as she
nay fancy, little coronet bonnet made
Il violets, with star just in front that

diamonds. Her parasol is pale violet
ilk, with white point lace butterflies on

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST REL ALIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
POINTERS WITH POTATOES.

There seems to be an agreement among
all the results of tests with potatoes that
good, average sized, well-ripened tubers
need to be used for seed; that they need
to be planted with plenty of room for
healthy growth, and kept clean of weeds
and bugs. Beyond this there are differ
ences of opinion, doubtless due to variety
used, kind of soil, and character of the
season. There is very little exact mathe-
matics about potato-growing.- g.-4maerican

THE COLOR OF NEWLY sHoRN WOOL.

Wool of a light open quality where
the sheep have been kept in clean past
ures if neatly rolled up will look, when
first shorn, as white as wool that has
been washed on the sheep; cases have
occurred where buyers not very careful or
we'll posted have passed divided feeces
of such wool as fleece washed. When
stored away in bulk or sacked, it soon
changes to a yellowish color that tells
its true character, and it does not then
require an expertto detect it. The prac-
tice of washing wool upon the sheep is
yearly becoming less common, both deal
ers and manufacturers preferring to buy
it on its merits as it is shorn from the
sheep.-Nep York World.

kid, and she wears pale violet silk stock
ings. For underwear she has violet silk
vests; violet brocade corsets, and pet
ticoat of white linen lawn, tied with vic
let ribbons. The perfume she uses is
that wondrous one which smells like real
violets, not hot-housc vioiets, but those
that have come from the woods and
filed the air with an odor that is as
blissful as it is indescribable.

SLEEVE EFFECTS.

A long sleeve makes the hand look
tiny; an elbow sleeve cuts off the best
part of woman's arm, shows that which
is usually the worst, and certainly does
not decrease the size OF her hand; an ex-
tremely short sleeve-the regular cream
puff sleeve that permits the shoulder to
show above it and the entire arm to be
visible-is, for evening, a most desirable
style, whether the arm be plump or a
slender one. If the arm is slender the
glove can be worn to cover the elbow,
and then the plump part of the arm
would be visible.-Pailadslphia Recora.

MRS. sTANFoRDs GENEROSITY.

Mrs. Leland Stanford's trust-deed,
giving S1O0, 900 to endow five kinder
gartens in San Francisco, has just been
filed. As the income will be FIVE per
cent, each school will get $1,000 year.
These schools are said to have already
had an appreciable effect in reducing the
number of sthoodluns" who infest the
streets of San Francisco, and in betterlng
the condition of the tenement-house

FISaED FUN \ WEDDINS 1NN11A1AO-Ns
That Queen Victoria attended in per-
son the wedding of Sir Henry Ponson-
by's daughter few weeks ago has al
ready been mentioned. The announce
ment of her gracious intention to do so
is thus described: Her majesty was dis
cussing with Lady Ponsonby, her whilom
maid of honor, the details of the ap-
preaching ceremony one day, and at
length inquired: "And is the wedding
to be a very large and crowded onea" To
which Lady Ponsonby replied: "Far
from it. The house in Ambassadors
court would not permit of crowd; it is
to be very select" sin that case" re-
sponded the Queen, :'perhaps there will
be room for an old lady among the
guests-an old lady like me and Victor
la's godmothe,2" The brides mother
gave delighted assent to this sugges.

A SHADE HAT.

Green straw is intertwined with pith
to form shade hat for the beach. Large
green rose leaves with thorns and stems
are raised in centre of deep red roses,
and these are yelled with soft brown silk
tulle; but newer than these is knotted
straw, with hounce of dark cream COL
ored guipure lace caught in at the crown
with black velvet, SO that a heading
stands up round it. Above this, at the
back, where the brim IS turned up, high
loops of black velvet are bound together
by silver buckle studded with sapphire
blue stones. A pretty bonnet shown at
the same importing house is of green
rushes, with rose morte velvet as strings,
and an outstanding bow in front. 1t is
wreathed with roses, which come under
the generic name of damask, but are
tinged with that rare shad of purple red
which predicts decay.-NeU York Post.

A RUNNING CLASS FoR oGoNTz GIRLS.


A gentleman spending the night with

the other day to catch train for New

passed the former place of Jay Cooke,
now used as school for young women,
and looking at the grounds he saw tour.

Ia loose bodice and short skirt of dark
blue, black stockings and low, flexible
shoes. They had their heads up, their
shoulders down and back, and kept
their mouths closed. On they ran rap
idly, following an instructor, who led
the way along the winding road until
they disappeared.
"Bless my soull" exclaimed the aston

are they9"
"That's the Ogontz running class" re-
|plied his host with a smile ''Almost
any fine morning you can see these girls
start out for mile and half spin. The

them and sees that none overtaxes her
