Fashion Echoes.

A noticeable thing in elaborate gowns is
that the sleeves are generally q contrast 10
the dress. Where this is not the case the
bodice is Of a different material from ;he
skirt.
Some picture hats are trimmed eXtrava-
gantly with feathers, and favorite idea Is
to wear one plume under the brim on the
left side.
The newest models in underlinen show
most bewitching nightgowns with deep
frillings, with or without lace the most
effective having colored frills of soft ma
terial.
Tea gowns, to be Ia mode, must hang
in the softest indescribable folds; they are
made in Grape and crepon. Those who
have old lace scarfs can turn them to the
best account, for they are folded on the
bodice back and front, the ends floating
over the skirt
The petticoats in moire and rich silk bro
cade have almost arrived at the dignity Of
gowns, the silk frills, full at the foot, fall
ing one over the other and yelled with lace.
The more diaphanous the parasol, the
more fashionable, though many we'll
dressed women give the preference to en-
tous-cas in plain six, especially those with
fanciful handles curiously carved.
The Vatican plat is still seen on every
thing from dressing gowns to ball dresses.

Electric motors now run thrashers aud
other agricultural machinery in some
parts of Europe.
Il has been demonstrated that the
celery blight can be checked by spray

copper.
Crimson, or scarlet clover, as it ia
sometimes designated, does not thrive
in Mississippi, according to Professor
Tracy, of the Mississippi station.
Set traps by scattering pieces of orange
peel over the ground for snails. Grenier
says they are so fond Of this delicacy
that they will remain clinging to the
peel rather than go back to their hiding
places at break of day. Examine the
traps every morning and destroy the
marauders.
Paris green in water for various in
seets is applied at the rate Of one pound
to 250 or 800 gallons OF water. This
proportion for small quantities can be
obtained, nearly enough for practical
purposes, says The Massachusetts, Plow-
man, by taking an ordinary teaspoon,
filing 1t with the poison and then strik-
ing it off level with straight stick.
This amount added TO three OF four gal
Ions of water will give the desirsd
quantity.

With black skirt, slight black cloth
jacket open in front is sure to look well, as
1t gives the wearer the chance Of introdue-
ing whatever color is most becoming in her
shirt or waistcoat and tie. A smart black
habit and jacket looked remarkably well
with pinkish shirt, a sailor hat trimmed
with a striped red ribbon Coming with the
shirt, and a tie to match. A pale blue tie
and band of the same around the hat is a
favorite color and suits many people.
Both for riding and ordinary wear, ties
fastened in n bow with short ends satisfy
what appears to be the desire Of many
women's hearts-to -toapproXimate as closely
as may be TO mans attire.
Besides ordinary white sailor hats, a good
many mixed fancy straws are worn; the
brims are rather wide and the crowns low.
Nearly all these hats are made in coarse
straw, and both in texture and shape are
similar to mems sailor hats. White waist
coats, and those in light fancy materials,
are worn, and with them straight collars
and stiff hard ties.
Yellow or brown leather boots appear to
find favor with some riders, but they are
very enlarging in appearance to the ordi'
nary sized foot.

AN ODD VARIETY OF RAIL FENCE.
idly superseded by what is known as the
straight rail, which involves less vast
of land and is more enduring. These
fences range in height from three to
eight rails, and are made in a variety Of
patterns, two of which are here illus
trated. The Ohio Farmer, for which the
cuts were originally drawn, describes
them as follows:
A peculiar variety of rail fence of fire.
quent occurrence in northern Ohio, and
illustrated in the first cut, is simply
made. First are placed in line pairs Of
rails crossed in Y shape for the supports,
the upper space of the X being much
smaller than the lower In each upper
notch rail is laid, but instead of reach
ing to the pair Of crossed supports its
farther end is laid upon the ground.
Then "straddling" this rail, at about
midway between where it leaves the
notch and where it touches the ground
is the next "X." From its upper notch
another rail extends to the ground, and
thus the fence goes on, the upper end Of
each rail extending in each case some.
what above and beyond the notch.
At Fig 2. is shown a section of fence
made by placing for each support two
vertically upright posts, six or eight
inches apart, upon fat board, and hav'
ing bracing piece run outward and
downward from each post to the ground
Short crosspieces are fastened from post
to post, and upon these crosspieces from
one pair of posts to the other rails are
laid. The intention, in such cases, is tC
make a movable fence, which may bt
set up temporarily about any portion Of
the farm, and this intention once under
stood, the fence may be looked upon a'
quite ingenious though rather clumsy il
appearance.
A fence very much like this, only moi
movable, is made by using solidly set il
posts, instead of posts standing on {
board. Then, between each pair of up
rights the rails are put in, either resting
upon crosspieces, as with the last variety
or, perhaps even more commonly, ont
lying directly upon the Other-frst a raj

Mr.. w. II. Ragan, secretary of the
Indiana horticultural society, relates
the experience of a farmer who took ad-
vantage of some unusual weather in
February to break a piece of clover sod
for corn. When about two-thirds
through breaking the field, of say ten
, acres, the recurrence Of more timely
February weather caused him to sus-
pend further operations until in April,
when the other third of the field was
broken and all similarly prepared and
planted. The corn on that portion
broken in February was a complete
stand, yielding a fine crop, while that on
the late broken part was almost wholly
destroyed by utworms-indeed, having
to be replanted entirely, and thus yield
ing only partial crop of late corn and
immature fodder.

sufficiently accessible for front and private
enough for back stairs, thus saving quite
an item of usual expense. The design has
been carefully considered with the view of
providing a comfortable and convenient
house at a moderate cost, suitable for
erection on a suburban or village lot. The
whole arrangement is successful one in
the cozy and snug appearance it presents
and the attractive and appropriate eleva-

Saved It's companisn's Life.

A gentleman possessed OF a span OF
sprightly little horses, which, whether in
the stable, In the field or in harness, were
always together, proceeded to Lake Mime
tonka on fishing excursion. Taking
them from the carriage, he tied them some
rods apart, near the lake shore, and left
them 10 feed. Repairing to shanty near
by the gentleman threw himself upon the
floor with the intention of dozing away the
time which would elapse before the return
Of the fishing party engaged on the lake.
But short time passed before the sound
of horses feet aroused his attention, and

at the shanty door. The animal put his

there are other blackbirds which have red
wings, and they are more particular about
what they eat. They generally live in the
southern states and feed on rice or corn,
and are great trouble to the farmers be-
cause of the large numbers that come and
eat the ripe grain In the fields. When the
grain has all been gathered in, do you sup
pose they starvei No, indeed; they are too
cunning for that. They simply find out
where 1t has been placed and go there for
their meals. But they are pretty birds,
with their glossy, black feathers, and we
must not blame them. They have to eat,
and like many persons take the easiest way
Of getting their food.

thus indeed a somewhat lower fence

least doing without the use of nails. A
variety of this fence has little pieces of

Including Great Variety in Costumes
Cool, Becoming and Practical.
A few years ago there was only one pos
sible make Of riding habit, plain and un-
compromising, and the tall hat was al
most as necessary as the horse itself.
Now, however in summer especially, com
fort and individual taste assert their
claims and the result is variety Of COS
tunes. While the fashion of skirts re-
mains much the same, every variety Of
jacket, covert coat, shirt and waistcUat is
admissible, and in the matter Of hats, too,
a wide choice is given, though the tall hat
retains popularity for park riding.
This year, among the lighter colored
habits, browns appear TO be much worn;
but the majority of skirts are black, or
else the darkest blue. All open jackets
worn with shirts and waistcoats are much
longer than those of last year; the latest
English habits for the most part touch the
saddle and some even come on to the
horses back like mans coat. Our cut
represents coat of moderate length.

A jolly good fellow,
And yet a good worker is has
In days that are sunny
He's getting his honey;
In days tba: are cloudy
He's boarding his wax;
On planks and on lilies,
And gay daffodillies,
And columbine blossoms,
He levies tax.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The sweet smelling clover
he humming hangs over;
The scent of the roses
Makes fragrant his wings
He never gets lazy;
From thistle and daisy,
And weeds Of the meadow
Some treasure he brings.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
From mornings first gray light
Till fading Of daylight
He's singing and toiling
The summer day through.
Oil we may get weary,
And think work is dreary.
But tits harder by far
To have nothing to do.
