COMING SPRING STYLES.
Pleasing Homespun Clothes VIII he In
Great Demand.

Great Demand.
The new clothes sent over from En-
glish and French manufacturers, for
early spring wear. are chiefly home
spuns and other rough stylish goods in
homespun colorings and effects. These
twilled woOlens are shown in the colOrs
which peasants in the north of Scotland
and in Ireland are accustomed to dye
their homespun goods, from dyes made
of native forest barlIs. The familiar
homespun blue, or electric blue, is d
very prominent color among the
new goods, and will, no doubt,
be the leading popular shade for
spring. 1t appears in some way in the
ma ajority of the new fancy cloths i'm
ported, either as Il short thread. cross
barred line or figure. There is also a
new nankeen yellow shade, which is in
troduced in the same way in other
cloths There are natural brown and
gray shades and dullish red, called to-
mato or peasant red, and Il vague shade
of green. These homespun woolens
were first introduced into fashion by
English tailorS. who used a few of the
cloths woven and dyed by peasants in
Scotland and Ireland as novelties. be-
fore similar goods We're made by the
laI ge cloth factories of France. AS a
matter of truth, the ma jority of the
cloths now known as Scotch homespuns
are manufactured in French factories.
There are many soft, rough camels-
hair goods, which are shown for spring
wear, and are lighter in weight than
the goods shown now. Rough boucle
and Bourette effects are freely shown
in the new fancy cameIs-hair cloths.
Thus there are many cloths in biege
brown or homespun blue, woven in lines
or inch checks, which are outlined by
lines of brouette. There are camel'S
hairs and homespuns, figured with
rough balls and other designs, which
look as if they We're made out of knit
ter's raveled yarn; there are also fig
ures of soft wool, matted and caught
down. and others tuftcd with long tufts
of white goat 's-hair, like some Turkish
goods These fancy-fgured cloths are
intended to be used as part of d
gown. Thus n dress of homespun
blue mixture will be made with front
and trimming of figured cloth in the
same shade. Il little dark velvet being
introduced to give relief to the effect.
Or such plain blue cloth may be made
mn in connection with blue cloth
striped with white and figured with blue
balls on the white stripes, or with a
blue figured cloth.
1t seems to be an assured thing tnat
the new spring house gowns, and dresses
intended for elaborate wear, will be
made with fuller skirts. Paniers are
shown in the French plates, and a single
ruffie, or soft cluster of ruffies, is q
feature which looks toward the return
of more bouffant, frou-frou styles of
dress. Street gowns, which to be in
good taste must be somewhat severe in
style, will be but a little fuller.-Good
Housekeeping.

Hedge Fences Arc the Best,

my hedge twice a year. There is no

kept in the right shape, man can trim
one mile day, and not tear his shirt,
either. My hedges have been good
fences for twenty-five years, and don't
see why they won't last fifty or seventy
five years longer. Some farmers in this
vicinity have lost enough by having
valuable horses ruined to have fenced
whole farms with hedge.-Farm and

ROBiNSON'S VENTURE.
Why He Gave Up journalism and Went t.
Selling Pork.

Selling GOrk
Robinson dealt in pork during the
Law time. They called him Bob to dis
tinCuish him from his father, the pork
dealer whom they called Rob. 1t was
a pretty well-known fact that Robinson
never saw pork in it's natural state, and
at n party given one time, when the
guests assembled tied handkerchiefs
about their eyes and drew pigs for
prizes. Robinson drew a pig that was
not pig at all but something else. But
he dealt in pork, and as he had Il pair
of good stout lungs, and always matched
pennies to see whether he would sell or
buy. he made quite q lot of money on
the exchange.
But one time the bottom dropped out
of the pig market, and Robinson had to
hustle about to pay his board bill. He
asked a newspaper friend of his how he
could make that money, and the news
paner friend advised him to write n
story. So, of course, Robinson wrote
the story. 1t was n pretty little thing.
with lots of good old humor In 1t and
plentv of Jokes that every one would
reco,-nize as old friends Then he had
had it tvpewritten and sent out on its
travels
4 nice ladies' magazine accepted i:
and in week published it. Robinson
rot down his correspondence lists and
selected 300 of his most intimate friends
and decided to send his story to them.
He sent the names to the proprietors of
the magazine and asked that his story
he marked and sent to each one OF
them. and then he sat down to decide
what he should do with the money
1t first he thought he would save 1t
for GOOD luck but then he remembered
tho wrong horse he had backed and the
hill for the cape overcOat. So he decld-
ed that the best thing to do after all
was said and done was to buy the en-
rraoement ring. He was very well sat
isfied with the story. and decided to
give ND spare ribs and become jour
nalist. But the day after the paper ap-
peared on the elevated railroad stands
he got a note from the publishers 1t
credited him with $40 for the story,
debited him with $40 for 200 copies at D
cents each and debited him with 81 for
200 2-cent stamps
Then Robinson went back to spare
ribs and pigs feet.-Chicago Herald

| AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
ABOUT EARTHWORMS.
They Are Among the Best Aids in Re-
storing Lost Fertility.

storing Lost Fertility.
Very often the most insignificant
causes produce the most important eff
fects. This applies very forcibly to
earthvorns. These little animals are
of much more consequence and have
much more influence in farm economy
than most people are aware of. They
are mighty in their effect by virtue of
their minuteness. This property rem
ders them less an object of attention,
and from their numbers and remark
able fecundity, though in appearance
very insignificant and despisable link
in the chain of nature, yet. if lost,
would make a lamentable chasm.
To say nothing of half the birds and
many quadrupeds which are entirely
supported by them, worms, instead of
being a hindrance to and consumer of
vegetation, are really one of its best
promoters, in fact nearly all vegetation
would proceed but lamely without
them, for by boring, perforating and
loosening the soil, they render it per-
vious to the rain and the fbrous roots
of the plants by drawing straws and
stalks of leaves into it; and, above all,
they throw up such infinite numbers of
heaps of earth called worm casts,
which, being their excrement, is one
of the finest fertilizers known to the
chemist, and for this purpose alone
their increase and growth should be en-
couraged.
In all probability, worms provide new
soil for hills and slopes, where the rain
washes the earth away, and they pro-
tect these slopes from being washed
away or flooded. Gardeners and
farmers are as a unit almost in ex-
pressing their detestation of worms,
