Seasonable Suggestion, for Tasty Home
Toilets.
Tea-gowns are more beautiful and
elaborate than ever, but are worn only
as a demi-toilet when entertaining at
home few intimate friends. A pretty
gown of this kind seen at one of the re.
cent openings was of pale rose-colored
bengaline, tight-fitting back and front,
with "Watteau plait" shirred from the
collar to point on level with the top
OF the shoulders, and falling from thence
forming part of the demi-trained back
of the skirt. The front of the waist was
plain across the bust, and from bust to
waist line an arrangement of tiny
tucks, each daintily feather-stitched
in pale-blue silk, formed Span
ish girdle effect, the cuffs. collar
and belt being similarly finished.
A narrow ruching of cream and blue
serrated edged silk ribbon formed a fin
ish for the neck and sleeves, and a be-
wildering little cap, SO small that. it
was hardly more than lace choux,
made home toilet which was thing
of beauty.
A pretty embroidered gown formed a
part of the trousseau of millionaire's
daughter who recetly became bride.
The front and sides of the gown, the
short train and bodice, were of pale but
ter-colored satin, of marvellous sheen
and texture. The front edges of the
side panels were embroidered in
pale shades of green silk scroll work, in
a band six inches wide, while at inter-
walls of four inches were hummi ng- birds
in green and pale rose color so
accurately initiated in raised en-
broidery that they seemed to be
real A similar scroll-work finished
the edge of the front panel
on one side, and formed graceful
diagonal band across it from left to
right. The bottom of these panels was
trimmed in heavy silk fringe OF the
color Of the dress. Under these panels
was false skirt of pale rose color, verg-
ing sea-shell pink, which presented the
appearance of several silk sashes care.

GOLD FROM FARM-LANDS.

haustible fertility and well watered,
and at the same time easily worked, be-
ing prepared by nature for the plow, you
may reasonably expectto find farming
profitable occupation and the farmers in
such country making more than bare
living. Agriculture in such a country is
like mining-simply taking gold from
the soil in the shape of the finer grades
Of wheat and other cereals, and it pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount Of actual work neces-
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small
Upon the great fertile prairies of West
ern Canada, where millions of acres Of
the richest land in the world are COM
prised within the Provinces of Mani
itoba, Assiniboia, Alberta, etc, settlers,
old and new, have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape of mag
nificent crops for the season of 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after

30 to SO bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently rs bushels per
acre of choice grain. Upon one jarm of
1890 acres, the crop OF wheat and oats
was close to 10000 bushels, and oi this
the first lot of 900 bushels of wheat
was sold for s4c and SOC per bushel.
Close beside this large farm was small
one from which the owner had taken
his first crop. He had started with no
capital the year before, yet his crop of
wheat was 1 200 bushels and the quality
was so good that he got S5c per bushel
for it, one cent bushel more than his
wealthy neighbor, which meant just
$3.50 for his first season Ia wheat alone
With a clsnate peculiarly adapted to
rain-growing, and a population repre-
'enting nearly every nation, Western
Canada offers to the settler a most
favorable chance to succeed among
friends or fellow countrymen of his own.

K.a1 Names ofIndians.

The Indians have a neat way of fixing
it, This Northumberland, Spotted Tail,
Observation-Disclosures, is good enough
to palm off on the whites, but each In
dian has another name the whites never
hear. First, he IS named after his moth
er's gems or family. There are only half
dozen each. Snake, Wolf, Turtle,
Bear Eagle and so on. You remember
how, in THE Last of the Mohicans, the
young Delaware chief was found to have
tortoise tattooed on his breast; that
gave his family. He was Turtle just
as the bulk of the Scotch are divided
into few clans, the Stewards, Camp
bells, Camerons, McGregors and others.
To the Indians family name is attached
another, but it would be bad medicine
to have it spoken outside the family
.;rcle, and give some of his enemies
:sance to work spells and hocdoo him.
The Spotted Tail business is nom de
chase. de guerre, or de toot, which gets
hitched on in later Washington
Post.

II makes one very tired to hear OF a

the same time double his earnings. OF

and nothing to lose by an honest system
