COUNTRY CLuRs.

A Michigan woman, much interested
in the Fresh Air work, suggests that city
women engaged in this, work should in
vite the country mothers, who have en-
tertained children at their homes, to
visit in the city homes few days in the
winter. These farmers wives, who take
in the city waits at time when summer
work presses hardest and summer heat is
most oppressive, need change of scene
almost as much as do the mothers and
children in the tenements, and for lack
of change and rest it is said that farmers
wives form large per cent. of the inmates
of insane asylums. It is not the hard
work but want of oompanionship, the
isolation from books, music, lectures, the
theatre, the desolation of intellectual
starvation.
In some of the Western towns move
ment is on foot to establish clubs among
the country women, where it is believed
a higher mental development is possible
than in the city, because no other form
of recreation will distract attention. The
plan is to divide each county into Sec
lions and organize woman's club in
each section. These country clubs will
cooperate with those in the cities for
the interchange of ideas and the form
ing of friendships mutually beneficial.

WoMAN's DEPARTMENT OF THE FAIR.
Uncommon interest has from the be-
ginning of the work been attracted to
the Woman's Department, the most note.
able feature of the great fair. It was
fortunately placed under the charge of
Mrs. Potter Palmer. She is a society
leader in Chicago, where il is proudly
boosted that she would grace any court.
She is the posseesor of great wealth, and
was wholly unacquainted with pub
lie affairs before she undertook this
charge, and yet she has taken hold of
the Womaa's Department as of some
thing by the conduct of which she may
crown her life, and in doing so has
shown the most marked executive ability.
In choosing plan for its building, the
Woman's Department has copied one of
the most admirable designs made for the
exposition. The architect who drew the
design is Miss Sophia G. Hayden, of
Boston. Mrs. Palmer has planned a
treasury of objects illustrative of woman s
work. The exhibit will embrace model
kitchen, modern creche, kindergarten
and hospital with trained nurses, nota-

LOVE AND WEDDING RINGS.

Arden Holt wrote as follows in re-
cent number of Cassell's Magazine: Love
and wedding rings are intimately as
ISOLATED; yet Colley Cibber explains
ooh! how many torments lie in the
small circle of wedding ring" Do
you know why the gold circlet is placed
on the left hand3 Opinions differ. On
the one side it is affirmed that vein
proceeding from the heart to that finger
is the cause; on the other that it denotes
that the wife is subject to her husband.
Napoleon l., when he married his
second Empress, whispered in NJ. Pra-
dts ear: "The Roman law ordains that
all slaves should wear rings, and as the
women are our slaves they ought to wear
this badge of servitude." The Little
Corporal and the Great Emperor was not
given to weighing his words, as far as
politeness was concerned. It is more
grateful to women to know that men in
thousand grateful ways have demon
strated the tenderness of their passion by
"the giving and receiving of a ring.

selves will be avoided.
There are many very willful and capri.
cious young women who entertain the
most absurd ideas as regards dress. They
are either vain and love display njch
leads them to overdress oftentimes to a
degree bordering on grotesqueness;, Or
with an affectation of Indifference they
profess to despise handsome dresses, and
will appear in society in garments wholly
inappropriate and unbecorning.
A tea-g gown should not be worn in the
evening, or a full-dress costume in the
morning, except on some special occa-
sion. Very rich and elegant dress for
the street is considered most inappro-
pirate, and suggests the idea that its
owner has no other place to display her
tnery. Ladies who have social position
and social obligations have need of their
fine dresses for ceremonious occasions,
and, as a matter of course, reserve them
for this purpose, and are we'll cor tent to
wear plain garments on the street.
1t is the poorest taste, and shows a
lack of discretion and proper training to
adopt anything like loud or conspicu-
Gus style on the street or in public
places. Such course subjects any young
lady to the scverest criticism, and she
has only herself to blame if she suffers
annoyance and insult from persons who
only judge of character by outward ap-
pearances. The best-dressed women are,
as rule, those who are the most plainly
ly dressed, and this is tie safest and best
course to pursue.-The Ledger.

TOMATO CULTURE,

A summary of some of the results of
experiments carried on for several years
at the Cornell University Experiment Sta
ton, at Ithaca, N. Y, is as follows:
Fertilizers-The best tomato fertilizers
are those which produce their effects
early in the season. The intermittent
application of nitrate of soda, when pro-
lopged into August, delayed the crop as
whole, while early applications appear to
produce early results. But larger yields
appear to follow intermittent application
if it does not extend beyond mid-sum-
mer.
Nitrate of Soda-Nitrate of soda is
an incomplete fertilizer and should not
be used to the exclusion of other fertil-
izers unless the soil is already rich in
potash and phosphoric acid. Upon poor
soils it is of little advantage when used
alone.
Early and Late Setting-The expert
ments of two years show that tomato
plants which are early set in the field,
are less injured by inclement weather
than is generally supposed, and that very
early setting on we'll prepared land ap-
pears to be advisable. But the results of
early setting, especially as regards EARL :
ness, probably depend considerably upon
the character of the plants; they should
be strong and s.ocky.
Few and Many Transplantings-Two
transplantings gave better results than

three, but so much depends upon con-

three, but so much depends upon con-
dition of plants, their age, and the way
in which they are handled, that gen.
civilizations cannot be made upon the SUBJ
ject.
single-stem Training-Single stem
training of tomatoes gave twice as much
yield per square foot as ordinary culture,
somewhat earlier results, and it greatly
decreased injury from rot. The system
is to be recommended for early market
or choice trade or for home use.
Rot-Upright and open training tends
to decrease injury from rot; and such
training allows of more easy and thorough
applications of fungicides when spraying
is necessary.
Fertilizing-Very heavy fertilizing
with stable manures or concentrated fer
tilizers has uniformly Increased yield in
our experiments, although the common
opinion is to the contrary. But in order
that fertilizing shall produce early fruits,
the food material must be quickly avail
able. If stable manure is desired, only
the most thoroughly disintegrated part
should be used. Nitrate of soda is
good tomato fertilizer on soils contain
ing abundance of potash and phosphoric
acid, but like other incomplete fertilizers
it has little value when used alone on
poor soils. Nitrate of soda appears to
give heaviest yields when used IN two or
three applications, but in this latitude it
should not be applied later than the first
of August, else it prolongs growth too
late.
Very early setting of stocky plants in
the field, even in dark and raw weather,
augmented earliness and productiveness
in 1890. This year the same results were
obtained except that there was some gain
in earliness from very early setting. The
tomato can endure much more uncon-
genial weather when set in the field than
is commonly supposed. Early setting on
we'll prepared land therefore appears to
be advisable.-Vick's Magazine.

A sACHET FOR THE DRAWING ROOM.

A pretty fancy is chair sachet. The
little perfume bags to lay on table or
hang from gas bracket have long been
familiar, but the large sachet is even
more desirable than are these. In shape
it is usually long and narrow, and may
be of any length from three-quarters Of
a yard to yard and half, and of the
width of the goods used, whether satin,
surah or plush. An excellent material
is India silk of one of the pretty colors
in which this fabric comes. The outer
covering should be lined with silesis to
prevent the sachet powder sitting
through. Of this there should be a
generous supply, as it preserves Its
strength much longer in larger quantities
than in small. The ends of the sachet
may be plain or finished with embroidery
or plush or velvet bands. A large bow
of wide ribbon must gather the bag up
in the middle and the whole affair can
be thrown over the corner of chair OF
sofa. The odor it yields will not be
powerful enough to be disagreeable, but
yet sufficient to perfume the air pleasant
ly.-New York Recorder.

SALT ON ONIONS.

While salt cannot be considered in the
way of a fertilizer for plants, it is often
indirectlya great benefit, as it destroys
insects, hastens the decomposition of
vegetable matter and aids in the reten-
ton OF moisture in the soil. Salt is also
destructive to many species of fungi,
rust, smut and mildew, but it must al
ways be applied in small quantities, be-
cause destructive to most plants, espec-
tally while in their active or grow
ing stages. If applied at the rate Of from
four to six bushels per acre to onion land
just previous to sowing the seed, we
think it will prove highly beneficial in
preventing rust and destroying the Larvae
of insects in the ground.-American
Agriculturist.

INCUBATION FOR HOG CHOLERA.

According to statement furnished By
DR.. ID. Z. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, there has been dur.
ing the last summer an outbreak of swine
disease in La Sale County, ILL.,, and the
farmers applied to Secretary Rusk fol-
relief. At their urgent request DR..
Schroeder, of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, was delegated to make investi-
cations anl to give such advice and as
sistance as was needed.
AS further stated by DR.. Salmon under
later date, tifty-fve hogs had been pur-
chased and divided into three lots. Of
these, eighteen had been inoculated by
Dr. Schroeder according to the method
used by the Bureau of Animal Industry,
and eighteen others by another person
according to another method, and nine
teen were not inoculated. being kept by
themselves, and were held to determine
whether the animals had been exposed to
disease previous to incubation, and
whether the inoculated animals resisted
disease better than those which had not
been lnoculated. According to this last
report the hogs not inoculated were all
well, none of those inoculated by the
Bureau had died, while four of those in.
oculated by the other method were
dead.
The subject is chiefly interesting from
the fact that committee of the farmers
agreed to pay one-half of the expense of
the experiment, thus showing their in
terest in it and their desire for further
light on the question whether any sys-
tenn of incubation is a preventive for hog
cholera. DR.. Salmon did not oppose in
oculation, but he pointed out dangers
connected with it which farmers should
understand before they adopted it. In
the meantime the report of the commit
tee of farmers experimenting the exper-
iment made at Ottawa will be looked for
with interest.-New York World.

WARNING POULTRY HOUSES,

If your poultry house is damp and
cold hang up a stable lantern at night,
suspended with wire and do not have the
flame too high. 1t will not only warm
the house some, but dries the air therein.
Do not be afraid of any carbonic acid
gas, or have any terrors about the en-
trance of fresh air, for even one lantern
may not be sufficient to warm the house
on cold night, as more so-called fresh
air Chat is cold air. will get in than you
can keep out, even if you try Another
point-when you build a poultry house
have your windows large. Do not be
afraid of plenty of glass. The sunlight
on the floor and walls dries the house,
makes the fowls cheerful and happy, and
renders the interior of the house as
bright as outside. True, glass radiates
heat at night, but it also permits the
wood to absorb heat during the day.
The heat of the night can be retained
with a hanging lamp, but the glass
should let in the heat during the day

TEA GOWNS.

There is endless diversity in the shape
aud trimming of tea gowns. They seem
to get more elaborate and beautiful every

nothing but gauze and lace; aesthetic tie,
gowns, made of crepe wooden stuff, with
flowing draperies; handsome tea gowns,
composed only of rich brocades and vel
vets, and tea gowns of nuns cloth and
soft silk, that are merely pretty. The
severe tea gown is generally made of self
colored silk, trimmed with passementerie.

To be becomingly dressed at home is
said to be test of a well-ordered mind.
Certainly it is an indication of correct
taste and orderly habits, aud the utmost
care cannot be too highly commended,

: The formation of habits of neatness
and due regard for the prevailing fash

casiors, should be carefully attended to

BEE MOTHS.

Bee moths are scavengers. They eat
up unprotected combs. Keep your
colonies in good shape and the bees will
keep out the moths. AS soon as they
get weak and have more combs than they
can protect, then the moth worm has a
chance. Italians are more energetic in
repelling moths than common black bees,
though the latter if strong and in good
health are able to protect themselves from
real damage, though the hive may con-
tain few worms.-New England Far
