Last evening the new cottage at the
State Reform School at Cape Elizabeth
was dedicated in the presence of large
company of those interested in the in
stitution. Hon. Fred Atwood of the Gov.
ernor's Council, who is chairman of the
Reform School committee, was present.
This cottage is the first step in the plan
of introducing new system in the man,
agement of the school. A large portion
of the boys are not vicious, and need on
ly the oversight which boy would get
in a good home. The idea is to gather
such into cottages where they can live
much the same as boys live in we'll
ordered family at home. Several years
ago the.legislature authorized the plan,
and cottage was erected. This cottage
was burned soon after completion; SO
the plan was deferred. But steps were
taken for the rebuilding of the cottage,
which has at last been completed.

The Crescent strawberry has great
many advocates.
The Dinner is promising new variety
among blackberries.
There is nothing else SO good for COW
ering hotbeds as glass.
There seems to be plenty of evidence
in favor of the Crosbey peach. There is
little doubt as to its hardness, but it is
excellent in other respects.
Of gooseberTies, try Red Jacket and
Columbus, says The Rural New Yorker.
Of currants, try Fay's Prolific and
Cherry; Victoria is good late sort. OF
red raspberries, try Cuthbert, Golden
Queen, Shaffer and Royal Church. Of
blackcaps, try Souhegan, Hillborn and
Ohio. OF blackberries, try Minnewaski,
Lovett's Best, Erie and Taylor.
The number of pears allowed to grow
on young trees should be limited by iu-
dicious and early thinning out of the
embryo fruit.

AT THE STATE PRISON.

Very Quiet Men.

Very Poor-Irving and Godfrey Are
Very Quiet Men.
Warden S. HI. Allen, of the state prison
at Thomaston, was at the Falmouth
hotel yesterday. In response to inquiries
as to the institution he said that it was
in good condition. Ex-Cashier Percival
of Auburn is in very poor health. His
cough is better than when he came be-
fore the court at Portland for sentence
but his throat trouble still exists, and he
is much emaciated and evidently very
poorly. He is an exemplary prisoner.
So far as conduct is concerned the
same may be said of Irving, the burglar
whom Officer Firth shot. He is at work
regularly now, and in fair health. He
attends strictly to his duties, and does
not so much as look up from his work
for any cause whatever.
The same may be said of BENJAMIN
Clark Godfrey, who struck down the
town treasurer of Limington with club,
and was captured by Deputy Sheriff
Samuel D. Plummer in this city. Cod
frey is one of Warden Aliens quietest
and most Industrious boarders.

able. But the women are very easily
turning their thoughts in another direc-
ton and putting all their pretty gee
gaws in their hair. And that thcatcr
presents Il pretty spectacle every even
ing as one gaZes ut the fanciful arrange
ments. 1t will, no doubt soon become
a fad, and then the bonnet will get but
scanty attention. just now, however,
one made of golden spanglcs, closely
strung, is the proper thing, with small
bunch Of black tips in front and black
velvet strings.
The evening cloak grows no less as
sertive and magnificent. In fact. there
is something almost insolcnt in it's
manner of appearing. Here, for exam
pie, is long cape of pale blue brocadc,
very thicllly and heavily embroidered.
1t is lined with rose silk. and edged
down the front with the thiclscst white
feather trimming one can possibly find.
The shoulders have the quccrcst puffs,
standing straight out from the wrap.
and above them is a great ru:he of
blue, SO large that it rests upon the
shoulder puffs in its way around. Then
above this ruchc is another band of the
feather trimming. 1t is difficult to get
into the garment, there is so much
about the neck. The feathers reach
fully to the ears, and threaten to pre-
vent ones vision when the wind blows
fiercely.
But saw one sensible coat the other
day, and it was quite Il relief to look
upon 1t, with the quiet dark blue
vigognc neatly bordcrcd with black
silk chenille trimming. Pretty triple
cord ornaments fastened it at the side
where it opened, and also hung from
the tighttitting undcrslcevc 1t had
moderately pulled shoulders and plain
high collar. EVA A. SCurBERr
