SOME FHILLS OF FASHION.

When my Lady Modish files about the town
In her swift chariot In search Of novelties and
news she learns first OF all that the great
Sheffield mills are turning out the crinoline
steel In q eat quantities, and that one great
Manchester establishm ent alone has laid in a
stock sufficient for 10000 crinolines. All OF
which attests what II decided effort will be
made to reinstate the bird cage in all its enor-
mit,. The ultimate issue depends upon the
decision OF women.
She finds. too. that the returning wave Of
early Victorian incongruity has brought the
revival Of that relic OF barbnrism. the earring.
which the common sense OF the last Yeas had
almost stamped out. During the past two
seasons even the insignificant earstud had

Preparing Potato Seed.

If the eye Of the potato is allowed to
grow in warm, dark place. it quickly
saps all the vigor from the shoot and also
from the tuber. The slender white shoot
is good for nothing to- begin a healthy
growth, and it has taken SO much of the
substance of the potato that it is value
less for seed or for eating Exposure to
the sunlight and drying winds, however,
makes . the seed better. according to
American, Cultivator, authority for the
followihgy Put the potatoes in light,
cool room, but one that will not freeze
The slower the green shoot pushes and
the more the potato dries out the strong
er will be its subsequent growth 1t
also makes great difference in earli-
ness. Some market gardeners who have
learned this secret always get early po-
tatoes in market before their neighbors.
They often cut the seed and spread it
thickly so that it may dry out more than
uncut seed and become more thoroughly
greened. A sunburned potato utterly
unfit for eating makes, because of that
fact, all the better seed"

Where to Plant Roses.

Professional rosegrowers say that
roses must not be planted by the side of
building or where shaded. A CORE
spondent In Vick's Magazine, comment
ing on this, says:
By use of my eyes for some years
a7n convinced that roses do best in those
places. At least the finest ones / ever
saw-and have seen them 10 or 10 feet
high and covering the side of a house
were IN just such a position. We have
some roses on the south side Of the house,
where they have the sun nearly all day,
and others Of the same variety on the
northwest side in an angle of the house
and ell under some plum trees, where
they are shaded till after II o'clock.
Those that are shaded during the fore
noon grow to be larger bushes and have
finer colored, larger roses. that remain
in bloom much longer than those on the
south side that have the sun most of the
day, yet they are never watered and do
not have the care the others do because
they are on the back side of the house,
where they are not seen. In my opinion
the partial shade prevents the ground
and flowers from drying up as rapidly a
when in the scorching sun.

The Plum Curculio.

Scientists and fruitgrowers are not ii,
accord as to which is the better plan,
Earring the trees or spraying, for cur
culio. Some believe that the diluted
bordeaux mixture, with paris green add
ed, can be applied to plum trees as well
as to pears, apples, etc., without fear Of
hurting the foliage, and that it will kill
many of the beetles. Professor Bailey
numbers arsenites with other means of
combating the curculio; apply as soon as
the calyx falls and repeat two or three
times at intervals Of about 10 days. Pres

FORMAL DESIGNS.

poorly executed. Where the coarser
growing large leaved plants are to be
used, like cannas, coleus, tuberous be-
gonias, geraniu1ns, ETC., acute angles,
narrow lines and elaborate designs are
to be avoided. IF such designs are de-
sired, alternanthera, oxalis, echeverias
and other plants that are low growing
or will stand close clipping should be
used.
A formal design (see Fig. y is usually
symmetrical. In it one part corresponds
with and balances another, and for this
reason the above design, if carried out as
shown, with different style of beds in
each panel would not be satisfactory.
One design should be selected for all four
beds. The center bed could be filed with
plants or could be made an aquatic pool.
If filled with plants, those in the circu-
lar central bed should be taller than those
on the outside ones. This arrangement
could be varied by having the center
high and the four panels on slope away
from it, or a similar arrangement with
rectangular central bed. side and end
panels could be made
For narrow fiat border a running de-
sign Gig. p is suitable. 1t may be one
of those shown in the figures above or a
modification of them In this also the
same figure, or perhaps two, regularly
alternating, should be used rather than
series Of figures each varying from the
other. For a sharply sloping bank an
arrangement like that indicated in Fig.
looks very well. In the above two de-
signs low and compact growing plants
should be used.

Substitutes For Glass In Greenhouses.

With other Investigations reported on
by Professor Bailey OF the Cornell cx-
pertinent station is one relating to cloth
and paper as roofing for the greenhouse.
His experience with both, for winter
roof, has been entirely unsatisfactory
For summer or late spring use oiled
muslin has proved satisfactory. Plants
which require a heavy shade in summer
can be grown to advantage under such
a roof. The cost. however, of few an
nual roofs of this character will pay for
a glass roof: hence the inference is, as a
cloth roof with ordinary oil treatment
lasts hardly one year, that the glass roof
is in the end the cheaper of the two, in
addition to the saving Of much labor and
vexation Of spirit.
