with oats in early spring, crimson clo-
yer would yield heavy fallow for
wheat in September. Sown in August,
it will yield q heavy growth to turn
nuder for corn in early May, or little
later for late potatoes. In other words,
six or eight months after seeding, it
affords heavy growth for pasture, for
hay, or for fallow, as may be desired.
Its uses, therefore, in practice are var.
ious and important. In the matter Of a
large supply Of organic matter to be
turned under as preparation for the
successful use of phosphates or other
commercial manures, the value OF this
plant is evidently very great. 1t pro-
duces very abundant crop Of seed
which is easily saved, and the price OF
it should be thirty per cent less than
for common red clover.-DR. M. G..

Pockets for Cllnging Skirts.

NsSAAOtS 49, O@@A q - = sS~AAA 80
Two small pockets are preferred to
one Of ample size in clinging dress
akirts, especially in those of bell shape
with no fulness at the top in which to
conceal large pocket. The best plan
for serge or other heavy wool shirts is
to cut curved slit six or seven inches
long on each side, beginning four inches
below the belt. A fiat pocket is sus-
pendad from this opening, and band
of the serge (lined with silesia) an inch
wide, stitched twice along the edge, is
set in the curve by two substantial rows
of stitching, finished at the top by
arrow heads. II the bell skirt has a
gored front breadth, the pocket Sits
are not curved, but are merely openings
left in the side seams. When the skirt
is hung on foundation skirt Of silk or
mohair, the pocket may be set in this
foundation at place convenint for the
hands to meet when passed through the
slit in the outside skirt. Outside
pockets are seen occasionally on hand
some dresses, and are trimmed with
galloon, or with fringe or lace, in
ornamental fashion, In keeping with the
other garniture of the dress.

Abandoned Lands.

Farms in New England continue to
be abandoned. According to the Boston
Herald, in Massachusetts no less than
in Vermont and New Hampshire. The
Herald recommends commission to
look these lands up and advertise them,
with the hope that they will be taken
up again by native New Englanders
who would again make them attractive
homes. 1t is said that the cause Of the
abandonment Of New England farms is
the eager desire Of New England fam
lilies to make money. Why. then. are
not these farms taken up by others, as
fast as abandoned, who will be satisfied
with comfortable homes and livings in
return for frugal industry and economy
as of yore :? 1t is in vain to extenuate
the matter. The truth can not be hid.
New England farms no longer yield a
living even to an industrious, skilled,
and economical cultivator. There they
have protected" home markets. Why
is their agriculture perishing2 and why
are their protected industries being
transplanted to the South And yet,
again, why are her people unable to
see that false craftsmanship is desolat-
ing their fair land and destroying the
homes of the people Their policy
has created class of gold barons
usurers, with their creatures, living in
splendid cities, whose inferior quarters
are overcrowded with their induatrial
slaves, whose ration is brought from
the Far West, the product of the toll Of
other slaves, while the surrounding
farms and gardens and orchards are
lying waste and ruinous. It is from
plutocratic slavery that the sons of the
Puritans have fed. And the daughters
of the iar.famed Puritan maidens,

HOW to Root SLIPS.


Take wooden box or shallow pud-
ding dish; fill it with sand. Water il
well, letting it absorb all it can without
becoming Of the consistency Of mud.
Insert your cuttings in it, squeezing
the sand firmly about them, and place
the dish in light, warm place, where
the sun will occasionally shine on them
It is important to keep the sand
moist all the tine. Water evaporates
very rapidly from sand because of the
freedom with which air circulates
through it.
You will notice new leaves starting
in about week, although many plants
take root more slowly. When few
leaves have grown, remove the young
plants to small pots, and keep them in
the shade for day or two.
Warmth and light are necessary for
success in roofing slips, and sand is
better than ordinary soil.
The latter part of August and the
first of September are seasonable for
roofing slips for the winter growth. It
is a mistake to wait until the Septem-
Der frosts threaten.
Select cuttings which have from one
to three eyes. and when you remove
them from the plant, cut them off dag.

Roses and verbenas should be avoid.
ed by the amateur. A hot, dry atmos-
phere induces mildew and red spider.
They often give very satisfactory results,
however, when grown in kitchen, not
too near stove; but the ordinary living
rooms are not favorable for success with
these plants.
The following yarities of geraniums
are valuable for their compact growth
and constant bloom: SNOWFALL, Belle

 Who is Believed to Be Crazy.
Recreation" -" Finale"

Constable Egan Assaulted by a Woman
 Who is Believed to Be Crazy.
 In the police court to-day Kate Clark was charged with lascivious conduct. Yesterday afternoon a mau named Lyons and the Clark woman were observed by Officer Reld entering the brush near the Meriden depot. He fol- lowed them and on his approach the man made his escape. The woman was taken as far as East Main street, when Lyons approached and gave himself up Both were put on the horse car going to the center. They had only gone a short distance when Lyons Jumped from the car. He was pursued by the officer, who fired several shots after him. He made good his escape, how ever. On reaching the car again the officer found that the woman had es- capped also. Later in the day she was re-arrested. This morning she was fined $10 and costs.
 When the name of Sarah A. Curtiss was called she failed to make her appearance and bonds of $20O, furnished by William J. Rigney, were called. Judge Cowell, who sat at the attorneys bench, said in behalf of Rigney that he thought the woman was crazy. Judge Bradstreet said that matters could be strengthened out later. Mrs Curtiss was
 
 J. Egan. Yesterday afternoon Con- stable Egan, acting for William M. Cottle, who owns the tenement where Mrs Curtiss lives, went to her home to eject her for non-payment of rent. When the constable entered the rooms of Mrs Curtiss he found her with a jack knife in her hand ripping out some threads of a dress. On stating his errand Mrs Curtiss jumped to her feet and made a lunge with the knife at the constable. She was overpowered and the knife taken away from her, not, however be- fore she had left the impression of her teeth on Constable Egan's arm. The latter then with the assistance of help he had brought attempted to remove the household goods, when he received a kick in the abdo'uen which doubled him up. Another attempt was made to eject the amazon, when a flat iron | yielded by a not very weak arm struck one of his assistants. They then threatened tn * the woman, but on second thought left the house and noti- fled Officer Michael Sullivan of the affair. He, with the assistance of several others, managed to get the woman to the station. Sho created another scene there and gave Chef Egan smashing right handler on the jaw. She was finally locked up in the dungeon. This morning Constable Rlgney made appli- cation to have Mrs Curtiss committed to the insane asyium. The selectmen were notified to send the town doctors to ex- anime into the woman's sanity. After the melee at tho house Constable Egan removed her f., cts to the street. When Wiz ! ii:ney went bonds for her NJ rLl5e r. turned to the house, but w":. again ejected
