IMPROVED EMULSION,

Last year, writes Professor A. J. Cook,
the Arkansas Experiment Station recon-
mended modified kerosene emulsion,
found superior to the usual kind. A
kerosene extract of pyrethrum made by
t1lterlng one gallon kerosene through
two pounds of the powder is used instead
OF the pure kerosene. Dissolve one
quart sottsoap or one pound hard soap
in two quarts of water. While still hot
add one pint of the kerosene extract of
pyrethrum, and violently agitate till a
perfect emulsion is formed; properly
done, the material will look like cream
and the oil will never separate on stand
ing, even though diluted. To emulsifv,
we must agitate the mixture violently.
This is best Gene By pumping back into
the iquid-tasily done with cheap
dollar pump; cannot be done by stirring.
This is more powerful than the simple
kerosene emulsion and is safe on all
foliage when diluted to one-twelfth
mixture, while one.ffteenth mixture is
as strong as is safe to use in case of the
regular Ike, osene mixture. We diluted
the softsoap emulsion by adding as much
water, and the bardsoap by adding twice
as much water as we took of the emul-
sion. This season currants, hollyhocks,
potatoes and many other plants have
been greatly injured by species of bugs
sucking their juices. The pyrethro
emulsion has served to kill the bugs
without injury to the plants. York

REFORMS IN woMEN's DRESS.

The women of New York, and, in
fact, sensible women in the East, says a
member of Sorosis, take no stock in the
proposed reforms in women's dress which
have attracted the attention of the theo-
rists this summer. The reforms sug-
gested are too radical and will not find
favor with even very small percentage of
women who can afford to indulge in such
Injuries. No poor woman can wear
them. Only comparatively few women
could afford to spend money on them.
So it will be with the present movement.
The ladies who are championing dress
reform now will arouse a great deal of
enthusiasm, have no doubt, but the
enthusiasm will die out when the time
comes for paying the bills. It always
does. And what woman who wants the
admiration of men is going to wear the
toys prepared by the Chautauqua
womerf Men don't want any reforms in
women's dress. They are satisfied with
Tie present styles. On, of course it may
be vanity, but women are going to do
what the men want. They have always
done so and always will. If reforms are
ever introduced the innovation must be
gradual, not sweeping and RADICAL

A Fly speck Made a. Rig bifrer.nc..

In one Of our large establishments
connected with the iron industry
there occurred recently an apparent
discrepancy in the accounts involving
matter of 5000 pounds Of scrap iron.
The clerks Of the department were
set to work to unravel the tangled
skein, and after they had expended
two whole days in the search they
were compelled to give up the task
and pronounce it beyond their compre-
hension. Thus matters stood for
several days.
Several days later the office boy de-
eided to keep himself in practice in
addition by footing up column Of
figures on sheet which was lying on
a desk beside him in the scrap-iron
department. Bending his energies to
the task he got along swimmingly
with the units, tens, and hundreds
columns, but when he came to the
fourth column he could not make it
agree with the footings set down.
Again and again he tried it and with
the same result-3,000 less. Going
over the figures one by one his atten-
ton was drawn to a queer looking
one. a fly speck was beside it in such
a position as to make it appear like e
four, and as such it had been counted
by each Of the clerks in the depart
ment. The boy had earned his pro-
motion, and he got it.-PhiladelpAi1

A SCHOOL OF MILLINERY.

A pretty and practical idea is the
opening of millinery school in the City
of Churches, which is proving a great
attractions to the girls, with reflex eff
feet in the advancement of female in
dustry in woman's own sphere. A long
table is spread with hat frames, flowers
and ribbons, and behind it sit the ex-
pectant and critical class. The teacher,
milliner Of high repute in the trade,
lectures after the manner of professor,
taking the frame in her hand and pro-
ceeding to dress it, while she calls atten-
ton to the effects produced by different
combinations. The hat is covered, lined
and trimmed before sixty pairs of eyes,
all of them sharply intent upon the pro-
cess and closely studying the points. A
girl soon learns that it is not the easiest
thing in the world to build up graceful
bonnet, and at the same time she is con.
soled by finding that it does not take
year or two to learn the art. The pro-
fessor in. charge guarantees that a girl
with ordinary good taste can be made an
artist in ribbons and flowers in twenty
lessons, and will then be ready to take
good position in first class millinery es-
tablishment. philadelphia Record.

BRITTLE HOOCe.

as well by an intammatory condition of

YERNEN ON THE FaWIa

The real amount Of damage done by
lice and parasites generally on poultry 10
not commonly known. With nins-tsnths
OF the people, whenever Q fowl dies, it is
said to be from cholera, whereas the true
cause at the bottom ia much more likely
to DO vermln or roup. Thousands OF
fowls are dwarfed and killed by the
vermln which lntest their bodies aud
houses, ESPECIALLY in summer time.
There are parasites Of all sizes and colors,
that are continually sapping out the very
life from the fowls, and making them SO
weak that they are easily victims to all
diseases. Your fowls drop of, ons by
one, and you wonder what's the matter.
Reader, if you have a poultry house,
there are probably thousands of vermin
swarming in it now. Some are SO small
and OF such color that it is hard to see
them. Shake one of the fowls over the
sleeve of your white shirt, and look well
for the result. You need not expect the
chick to grow fast, nor she older ones to
give good returns in eggs, while there
are lice about. Now, to kill these pests
and to prevent them, clean the house
well, take whitewash Ito which may be
added, if handy, d little carbolic acid),
and apply thoroughly to the roosts, nests,
cracks, etc. land if you do the work we'll
you have got them. After this, once q
week, rub coal oil On the poles just
before the fowls 60 to roost. Three o,
four times year fumigate the house
with burning sulphur and resin while
the fowls are outside. Branches of
cedar tree in the house, or earbolie
powder kept scattered around on the
floor or in the Lests, or tobacco stems
and leaves used the same way, are excel
lent preventives.
Vermin do not like the smell of cedar,
and generally keep away from it. Oil i,
death to them. But do not put toe
much coal oil on q mother hen, for il |
will kill the chicks that brood under her,

CARE OF COWS IN WINTER.

Where farmers have not already com.
Portable quarters provided for the win
ter accommodation of their animals, it is
not too early to begin preparing for
them. The horses are almost certain to
have the best, and as far as the sheep are
concerned, if they have dry shelter the
fleece affords good protection against
cold. Cattle are the animals that are
usually exposed, and in the case of COWS
giving milk, it is not enough that they
are within doors during storms, but they
require comparatively warm tempera-
ture in winter are they are to be
profitable for their milk. Nothing will
sooner cause shrinkage in the flow OF
milk than to leave COW shivering in
cold storm without protection, and the
effect of stabling her in building so
open that she is constantly exposed to
draughts Of cold air is almost as bad.
The winter constable should be tight
enough to prevent the entrance of cold
air through cracks, doors and windows,
on level with the animals, so freely as
to chill them or to make them uncom-
Portable, and at the same time it should
be SO constructed that there will be good
ventilation. This can be provided for
by small cupola at the top and a few
long, shallow openings under the pro-
jecting caves. Thrs ugh these the vita
ted warm air brea Led " the animals
can escape, and at the same time suff-
cient cold air will enter from the out
side and slowly descend without pro-
ducing draught through the lower part
of the stable.
Attached to the cow stable there ought
to be a covered shed facing south, with
at least one side and end open, where
the dairy cows may stand for short
time during the winter sunshine of mild
days. At all other times in cold weather
they will be better off when confined in
clean, closed quarters. Too much atten.
ton cannot be given to cleanliness iu

Curious objection.

The curious fault is found with the
mastless ships of the navy that they
afford the crews no opportunity for
exercise-the seaman having nothing
to climb; they feel cooped up, and are
showing a spirit Of discomfort. 1t is
questionable whether such tame de-
vices as horizontal bars and other
mere gyrnnastic appliances would
avail to restore the spirits of the men.

THE EMPEROR THOUGHT IT NO LIBERTY
A story of the Hon. Mrs. Napier, the
wife of the English diplomatist, has a
touch of human nature about it also. It
was ten years ago, and the master of
Napier and his wife were dining at
Babelsberg with the old Emperor Will
liam. Just as they arrived at the castle
there were signs of storm. Knowing
Mrs. Napier's great horror of thunder
and lightning, the master turned to her
and warned her to control her natural
nervousness if it were possible. Mrs.
Napier, with the most exemplary inten-
tons, promised everything, and went in
to dinner very bravely with the Emperor.
Just as every one was seated there came
q flash and clap. and, forgetting every
thing else, Mrs. Napier clutched the i'm
perial arm in dire distress and buried her
head, on the imperial shoulder. A sud-
den remembrance of the situation made
her "let CO." but the Emperor inter-
rupted her confused apology with "Do
it again. my DEAR" that effectualIy
broke up the stiffness of that dinner
table. -Nep York Press.
