FASHION NOTES.

Dress goods, already on sale, present
many new, beautiful aud stylish effects.
London girls of the chic sort are wear
ing 4 square top, WIDE orimmei felt
hat.
Very few of the newest skirts have
any great amount of fullness at the
waist.
Graduated puts, varying from four to
ten inches wide, trim some OF the new
skirts.
Sateens, giughams, moussclineS and
crepe cloths are to have the floor next
summer.
Ondnes, the dress material for even
ing costumes, is having run compared
with which John Gilpin's ride was a
snai.like exhibition.
There is constantly something new in
candle shades for dinner table decora-
ton, and the latest are pronounced the
most beautiful ever seen.
Corselet belts Of ribbon, ornamented
with small cabbage leaf bows, are to be
had in all colors. They are especially
suitable for young girls.
The new woolens for plain tailor
gowns are the rough rabbit haircloths,
which are noteworthy for their soft,
silken-likc texture, aud long-hsired,
rough-looking surface.
Whip cord is the favorite material
whereof the tailor. made gowns of many
young women are composed. Like all
material connected with "horsey" out
fit, it has the merit of being durable and
looks neat, especially if worn with
smarty waistcoat.

RECIPES.

Dropped Eggs in Bouillon-0ne by
one, as near as possible to the liquid
break aud drop your eggs in the boiling
bouiIIon. They must be perfectly fresh.
Let them boil long enough to allow the
white to form hard crust.
Hard Sauce for Puddings-One cup oil
butter beaten to cream; two cups
sugar added when butter is light; beat
we'll together, then favor with nutmeg
or whatever is preferred, and heap On a
glass dish.
Cheese Straws-0ne-fourth pound
grated cheese, the same Of butter and
-four, half teaspoonful OF cayenne rep
per, the same OF salt, knead well, roll
out and cut five inches long, half inch
wide; bake light brown aud tie several
together with narrow ribbon.
Flannel Cakes-Rub two ounces OF
butter and two tablespOonfds of baking
powder into a quart OF sifted -four. Do
this evenly vita the hands. Add one
tesspoonful Of salt. Beat the Jokes Of
three eggs and stir them into one aud
half pints Of milk; add this to tho aour.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1893-05-12

Beat hard and smooth, then add the
whites of the three eggs beaten to stiff
froth. Bake q uickly on hot griddle,
creased with piece Of fat salt pork.
Plain Omelets-Beat two eggs until
we'll broken, add pinch of salt and a
tablespoonful of sweet milk; have your
pan perfectly smooth and clean, we'll
secured either with sapolio or with soap
and ashes. Now put spoonful of but
ter in the pan and when it is as hot as
it can be without scorching the butter
pour the egg mixture in--keep slipping
a thin, broad bladed knife under it and
raising it up to prevent burning. As
soon as the underside is brown and the
top is "set" fold it together, shake the
spider or pan so as to entirely free it,
carefully slide it onto hot platter and
serve Immediately. The guests may
wait two minutes for an omelet but an
omelet cannot wait one minute for a
guest. Therefore the cook must stand
over the stove and send them IN like
pancakes, smoking hot. Omelets are
somewhat lighter if one can get the
knack of "tossng" them while they
cook; use smooth, lighc pan with a
long handle. Now practice the move.
ment in this way place a newspaper on
the kit chen table, put little salt in the
cold frying pan and practice tossing it
by shaking the pan so vigorously as to
throw the salt up from the bottom. It
is the same motion that one uses in pop
ping corn and little practice will en-
able you to throw up the salt success
fully, then you may try the same move
ment with hot pan and small omelet.
Beware of making them too large; don't
try to use more than two eggs at one
time until you become accustomed to
the work.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Every hen on the farm should pay foi
herself within the next sixty days.
How long since the water vessels fol-
the poultry were scalded aud the feed
trough cleanedl
Never run after horse that is loose,
to catch him, with uplifted hands and
shouting angrily.
Leftover cabbage aud celery plants
aud garden greens should so to the shut
in poultry. They are useful meat and
egg producers.
Even if you know your eggs are fresh,
don't take them to a customer with the
shells dirty. 1t does not help to inspire
confidence in their quality.
A beekeeper says that even though
wiring is tedious, it pays better for tho
trouble than any other work he does,
for it makes the combs stronger, gives
them better shape aud prevents them
from sagging.
George Q. Dow, of New Hampshire,
recommends as good paying straw
berries, Havilsnd, Warfield No. 1,
Wardeld No. 2, Eureka, Bubach No. 8,
BOynton, Enhance, Katie, Lovett's
Early, Ida and Ontario.
This new branch of Western sheep
feeding has only begun to assume i'm.
portance, but it pays so we'll that no one
can doubt that it will continue, and
these grain States will be looked to as
the sheep feeding regions of the United
States.
Honey vinegar, for table use, gives
vegetables a better flavor than any other
kind, in my opinion. The cappings
from the honey knife aud the rinsings OF
honey vessels thrown into barrel Of rain
water will soon become a barrel Of good
vinegar.

HOW TO IMPROVE COMMON cows.

The first effort at improvement OF
COWS is to feed them in the best manner.
II they are kept for Dairy purposes the
feed should be of the best clover hay
with from four to ten pounds of corn
meal and bran daily, in two feeds. The
quantity of the food should be gagged
by the appetite of each COW and its per-
feet digestion. II the gain is wasted
in the manure the ration should be re-
duced until the point Of complete diges-
ton is found, and then the digestion
should be cultivated by gradually in
creasing the food as it lie seen to be fully
disposed. If the butter is the desired
product the food may be enriched with
a proportion of oilmeal. AS the food is
returned in quantity of butter it may be
slowly increased until the ultimate pro-
ductive point is reached, and this should
be extended, if possible, by gradual
steps. Thus the COW will gain habit
of feeding and producing well, and then
comes the breeding for progeny OF i'm
proved kind. A pure Jersey bull is to
be used if butter is wanted. and if milk
q pure Holstein. The calves should be
weaued from the first and after the
fourth day on the warm skim milk;
when month old little OF the grain
food of the COW is given, as it will eat it,
and this is gradually but slowly
increased. The warm milk is fed for
five or six months, by which fine large
calf will be made. In every way posi-.
bic the calf should be encouraged to eat
the best of food, that it may become a
strongs healthy animal, able to turn the
most food into growth when young and
into milk afterward. In time the young
animal becomes a COW, and the same
plan is followed up. In few years the
herd will doubtless be as valuable as a
pure bred one, at only fourth or less oil
the cost. This is how farmers make
their work most profitable by constantly
improving all things on the farm. New

The Zebra as a Beast Of Burden.

Harold Stephens, writing to the Lon
don Field from johannesburg, gives
some particulars of the effort being made
in the Transvaal to domesticate and use
the "untamabe' zebra for purposes OF
draught: "On hearing that Messrs.
Zeedesberg, the coach contractors, who
run passengers and mails from Pretoria
in the Transvaal to Fort Tuli IN Mashona-
land, had been successful in their efforts
in training the zebra, determined to
make full inquiries. Mr.. James Zeedes'
berg, whom met by appointment, told
me that his firm about two months agD
bought eight half-grown wild zebras
from hunter named Groblaar. Groblaar
caught them in a wild state between
four aud five months ago by riding after
and lassooing them. During the last
month they have been IN training for
harness, with the result that four OF
them are perfectly quiet and we'll trained,
and the remaining four partially trained.
The place where they are located is at
the station in Petersburg, in the district
of Zutpansberg, Trau'vaa.
at appears they are little timid at
first when the harness is being put on
but afterwards they are all right, aud
Mr.. zeedesberg believes in month or
two's time they will be as steady as
horses. They pull we'll and are very
willing, aud never jib, a vice which is
very prevalent in the horses OF this coun-
try. In fact, one of them will do his
best to pull the whole coach himself.
They are now being used in one Of
Messrs. Zeedesberg's coaches; and James
Zeedesberg says they are so satisfied
with the experiment that he is going to
extend it, with the object Of Infinitely
substituting them for mules, as the ze'
bra is free from that scourge OF South
Africa commonly called Inconsistencies,
which costs an enormous amount to
coach. proprietors in horseflesh during
the summer season. In some parts of
the low country it is quite sufficient for
a horse to be left out all night in the
veldt grass to insure its death from this
dreaded disease. The zebras, when in-
spanned (harnessed to the coach), stand
quite still and wait for the word to go;
they pull up when required, and are
perfectly amenable to the bride, and
softer mouthed than the mule. They
never kick, and the only thing in the
shape OF vice which they manifest is
that. when first handled, they have an
inclination to bite; but as soon as
they get to understand that there is no
intention to hurt them they give this up.
Four of these zebras are inspanned and
driven in team together, and are as
reliable aud good as the best mules, the
other four, being older, require little
more time to get then perfectly trained.
The intention is to buy more and run
them regularly in the up-cOuntry coaches
from and to Mashonaland. Later on
attempts will be made to cross them
with the horse, with the object of get
ting larger aud haudsomer mule than
the ordinary cross with the donkey, and
probably superior in every way"

Tho Mannish Girl.

She begins innocently enough. She
mas a troop Of brothers perhaps, and
is drawn into their sports In spite Of
herself She catches their contempt
Of girls; cuts off her hair like Maggie
Tulliver; takes pleasure In a riding
habit and its odd accouterments.
Horses and dogs are her faYorite com
paniOns.
So she falls out OF sympathy wlrh
her sex. She loses its delicacy; she
is reckless of its conventions. That
is always the peril of the mannish
girl. But the fact that woman in
body, she tries to be man in mind,
exposes her to the anImadyersions Of
the ribald.
As she mingles with the world,
she feeds a kind Of vanity by being
mannish. To talk slang, to smoke
cigarettes, to ride to hounds, COM
mend her, in a measure, to her male
companions. They declare her to be
Jolly, fetching, stunning. They cul-
tiyate her society. They take her
yachting when they leave her COM
panions at home. They love to chat
with her in a box at the horse show.
They even propose a surreptitious
visit TO the Arion ball.
But they rarely marry her.
That is where the maidenly girl
has her full revenge. When it comes
to taking a wife--a wife who shall
adorn his table; a wife who shall en-
terrain his friends-a man seldom
thinks Of the mann sh girl. lie knows
that the arts by which she attracted
him will be just as attractive to
others He knows that the lack OF
refinement, which has a kind Of zest
in the girl Of twenty. will turn to
hopeless yulgarity in q matron OF
forty.
Then what is the end Of the man.

HAD A TREE IN HIS THROAT.

The Extraordinary Result OF Swallowing
an Orange Seed-Trachetomy Necessary.
Babies dc many queer things, but
2-year-old Joseph Virgins, Jr., of
2O26 Mountain street, Philadelphia,
beat the record the other day when
he swallowed an orange seed
and at once proceeded to grow the
sprout of e fine Florida orange tree
in his throat The Record says that
the experiment would have proved
disastrous for Baby Joseph but for
the kindly intervention Of doctors
The little boys mother gave him an
orange after carefully preparing it
for him. Unfortunately, however
one seed remained in the pulp and
this seed became lodged in the baby's
windpipe, causing a slight difficulty
in breathing. Little attention was
paid to the matter, but next day the
child's breathing became more pain
full and was constantly accompanied
by slight choking. Drs II. r.
Wharton and j. p. Tunis were called
in and informed by the mother that
the trouble was caused by some Of
the orange pulp. The usual remedies
were applied and some relief obtain
ed, but on the following night the
condition Of the child became serious.
After careful examination the ply
scians decided that the only means
Of saving the little sufferers life was
to perform tracheotomy. Next morn
ing this was undertaken, and a long
incisiOn was made in the neck, open
ing the windpipc. At the point
where the latter Joined the lungs a
hard substance was detected deeply
imbedded in mucus. When removed
it proved to be an extraordinarily large
orange seed. The wound was closed
up and dressed and yesterday the
boy was on the road to recovery. The
seed was in a particularly dangerous
position, and would undoubtedly have
caused suffocation in a very short
time. While lodged in the throat
the heat had caused it to open at one
end and to sprout slightly. 1t was
also swollen greatly beyond the origi-
nally large size.

EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
Countries in Which They Arc Admitted to
the Universities.

the universities
The international character Of the
higher education Of women is an in
teresting fact which is brought out
in the numerous articles published
upon the subject in so many Of the
European countries. Even in this
country the question is still being
agitated, although we have 237 CO..
educational colleges out Of 357 col
leges OF liberal arts, and nine colleges
and universities for women only
whose standards accord with those
that have been characteristic OF col
leges Of liberal arts One Of the most
striking foreign arguments in favor
of womans higher education, says
the Boston Journal, is treatise by
Helene LANCE Of Berlin, written TO
encourage German women to keep
pace with their English sisters.
Translated by L. r. Klemm, and ac-
companied by comparative statistics
in D. Appleton & Co.'S international
educational series, the book makes a
clear presentation Of the Higher
Education Of Women in Europe, md
of the modern, progressive European
belief in regard to the reasons for
woman's educational advancement.
In England the first traces Of the
wOman's movement were found In the
last century, when in 1892 Mary WOll-
stonecraft published her "VindicatiOn
of the Rights of Women" The most
distinguished colleges for women in
that country are now GirtOn College,
near Cambridge, Newman College,
Lady Margaret Hall, and SOmmerville
Hall, London University, Royal Hol-
loway College, opened in 1866 and
smaller colleges in Manchester, Car
diff, Bangor and other places. A sur
vey OF the nations in Europe shows
that a generous provision for the
higher education OF women Is made
in most large universities. From 1866
to 1882 France conferred 100 academic
degrees upon women; switzerland
opened her universities to women as
early as 1868; in Sweden, since 1873,
women have acquired the same de-
grees in the arts and in medicine as
are conferred upon men; Denmark
opened its university to women, with
the exception Of the theological de-
partment, in 1875; in Italy the uni
yersity was opened about 1876; Rus
STA has extended university privileges
to women since 1873; in Holland
women have never been debarred from
admission to the university; since
1883 the admission Of women to the
universities has become general.
There is no law in Spain and POrtu-
gal to prevent women from studying
in the universities, though the South
ern women have not shown much in
clinatiOn to avail themselves OF the
privilege. Germany and Hungary
seem to be the most conservative ma
tiOns of Europe, since they still ex-
clude women from the universities.
Even in these countries the "diScOn-
tent of the modern girl" has been
working in favor Of enlarged eduCa-
tional opportunities. Women obliged
to depend upon themselves for their
own support require education to fit
them for their duties. The presenta-
ton Of the subject shows that Europe
has been generous in granting Oppor-
tunities to women, which are more
and more appreciated.

LADIES' COLUMN.
THE NEW FASHIONABLE JEWEL.

One Of the questions of the day is
what is the new fashionable jewel, chrYs'
toprasel Last year the Queen happened
to mention the stone to one OF her
maids of honor, who had never seen one.
Her Majesty then sent for a jewel case
and showed the young lady this peculiar
stone set round with diamonds in a ring
that belonged to Quesu Anne. The
stone is Opaque and of delicate green,
and was first brought to England by
King William ILL.,, who owned a small
mine of them in Silesia. Ia the reign OF
Queen Anne it was very fashionable, but
afterwards fell into neglect. Nov, how
ever, its turn has come again in the
wheel of fashion, aud all the great world
is seeking for specimens. SIN Francisco

THE RAINBOW CRAZE.

The chief craze in Paris at present is
for multicolored silks, such as rainbows,
both solar and lunar These lovely ef-
fects are best gained on satins or fine
silks. The craze has been set in motion
by nimble American skirt dancer, Loie
Fuller, who has taken all Paris by storm
and who holds her nightly revels at the
Folics Bergeres. Everything is nov a
la Loe Fuller from the hundreds Of
knick- knacks in the store windows to
the set dish in boulevard restaurant.
Curiously enough the lovely effects on
the satins aud silks above mentioned
cannot be prepared in France. They are

provisions. Ga one occasion it was
necessary 10 cross an arm of the sea-
eleven miles wide, in boat. The boat
was leaky. Four rower5, Mr.. Burgess
