The Derby Hat.

II the derby hat is to be crowded out
by the easier and softer styles Of head
gear there won't be much regret over its
going. In spite of its advantages as a
cross between the silk hat and the
SLOUGH, it has never had the merits of
either Of those styles. 1t has always had
the disoomtorts Of the silk hat without
having its dash or beauty, and it has not
been much dressier than a neat soft hat,
although it has always been more un-
comfortable. 1t is a bad thing for a hot
day, and it isn't much for a cold spell,
and fate help the man who wears it in
the morning after a banquet. The
tendency now is to easy hats, and it
ought to be encouraged. Men have
laughed a great deal at women's slavery
to fashion, but they have never been
able TO point to n more forcible lllustra
ton of that slavery than their own adj

GENERAL HOWARD on rnl cANrEE,

General Howard, In his official report to
the Secretary of War, gives the following
important testimony concerning the "post
exchange" or cantsen:
THE post exchange presents the appear
ance OF a small country store or refresh
ment room in all the premises except in the
room where beer is served. The impression
is irresistible that beer is easily and cheaply
procured, so thatit is constantly forced upon
the attention of the enlisted man. He is
always tempted to indulge in its use. Com.
manding officers have generally agreed with
me that it would be we'll to abolish the sale
OF beer entirely and to substitute for it other
beverages. There seems a lack of propriety
IN navipg a soldier in the uniform of the
United States behind a counter dealing out
beer like a barkeeper in a common resort.
The commanding officers without exception
object to this. II there must be bar keepers
in the service they should be hired for the
purpose.
Under the present system soldiers appear
to be more generally led to drink and to
offences that go with drinking than under
the old sutler and post trade system. l am
strongly convinced by actual experiment
that while a few DRINKS are moderated in
their application by strong beer the remain
ing soldiers who fall under the temptation
are worse of and that military offences are
rather increased in number
In view OF this significant testimony, from
the distinguished head of the United State,
Army, that beer selling is injurious TO III,
men under his command, it is to be hopec
that the requisite steps may be taken for it,
abolition at an early day.-National Tenn

COMMON SENSE PLANTING.

The farmer who plants a few apple or
pear trees, or a ten or a dozen grape.
vines, will probably not have much fruit
to sell, but when they come into bear
ing he will have the best food for his
family that the largest capitalist in the
world longs Tor and cannot surpass.
His profit may not come in the selling,
but it will surely come in the added
pleasure to his family and their better
health. The more good fruit we have
the better our health, the higher our
enjoyment, the better out tenpers and
the less necessity is felt for the doctor

PARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Watch out for sickness in the flock.
A sickly fowl gives no profit in the
poultry yard.
Do not give the morning mash to the
fowls in a sloppy condition.
1t is not too early to start ~incubators
for the early spring broilers.
Dampness is the cause of many OF the
diseases in the poultry yard.
If the hens are late in moulting give
them as free a range as possible.
Young fowl need bone meal to de-
velop good blood, flesh and feathers.
When the hens are laying regularly
lime should be left before them all the
time.
Select your turkey hens for breeding
by their style, development and move
ment.
Many orchard men note a great in.
crease in the crop of apples when a hive
of bees is kept in the orchard.
Rich food for mich cows makes q rich
heap, and that makes rich land,
which ought to make a rich farmer.
A scrub may yield a profit, but a pure
bred animal would have yielded a larger
profit, under the same circumstances.
Make wheat the principal food now
and corn a little later. Wheat is the
best grain for eggs, and corn to main.
tain animal heat.
Very often good butter is spoiled by
the quality of the salt which is worked
in it. 1t is better to pay a few cents more
for good salt and use that.
There are a good many animals in the
dairy which are excellent mixers, but
they do not possess the power of trans
hitting this quality to their of~fsprings.
The thing for the dairymau to do is
to learn how to breed COWS according to
the laws of the dairy, just as roadsters
are bred according to the laws of the
trotter.
Agriculture is beneath the dignity of
no man. One Of the best truck fairness
we ever knew was a college professor,
who was equally at home aud equally
capable in the classroom AMI in the gar,
den.
A large COW always consumes more
food than a small one, but does not al
ways produce more milk aud butter.
Upon the whole, the chances are most
in favor Of the small COW paying best fol-
her board.
The farmer. should always allow hi:
grain to get thoroughly dry before send
ing to marker, and he has no need t.
hurry it now, as prices are not likely tC
be much lower, and they may be higher
later in the season.
By feeding rightly the dairyman ma
produce COWS uvaling the racehorse, bu
this method will not make mixers; no
will a hoTseman make a roadster by feed
ing green foods aud corr with linseec
meal and clover hay.
o1e of the greatest mistakes made by
d~a.rymen is the neglect of winter dairy
ing. II is hard to maintain an even TEN
peraturo in the dairy during the warn
summer months, but IN the winter n,
this can be easily done by heat,

ment, based on experience or science as to
the value or the reverse Of taking some
form OF alcohol with the meals, there Is no
doubt that the custom of taking wine or
spirits or beer between meals and on an
empty stomach-in one word the pernicious
habit OF ''nippiug"-is highly Injurious.
The morning nip, between breakfast and
the midday meal, which is frequently taken
by domestic servants, nurses work people
aud City men," rem iers the taker less at
Tor his daily work than he would otherwise
be, and is often the first fatal step toward
dram drinking. and the shameful life Of the
woman %drunkard, of which we are hearing
so much at the present time.
The flushing OF the face, caused by the
dilatation of the small blood vessels. usually
induced by alcohol when taken alone. Is
symptomatic of what takes place in the
stomach. The direct action Of alcohol on the
mucous membrane is to produce temporary
congestion or blushing of the internal sur
face of the stomach. TIT congestion ulti.
mately becomes chronic if nips or drams of
spirits are frequently INDUCED in, with the
result that the mucous membrane becomes

ONE WAY OF PRESERVING CHINA.

In a certain primly kept house in an
old-fsshioned country town it is a family
boast that not one bit of china has been
broken, cracked or ''nickedn In twenty
seven years. The last time such a dis
aster occurred was when some soldiers
visited the place about the close of the
war. 1t is almost unnecessary to remark
that no male creature is a member of
this noteworthy household. Three
maiden ladies, who were young when
the china-breaking troops came, compose
the family, aud this is the way the rite
of dishwashlng is conducted:
All the edibles are removed, aud the
pretty, creamy china with its purple and
gilt band is carefully scraped with a
scrap of bread. To scrape with a knife
would be held a crime. Then it is piled
neatly on a low table about the size of a
sewing table. The cut glass aud old.
fashioned silver are also piled there.
Then one Of the sisters takes her place
on a chair before it aud another hers on
the side. A big bowl of water just hot
enough for the hands to work in com.
fortably and soft cloths are brought.
The articles are washed piece by piece,
by n sister, the silver and glass first,
then the china. Then the second sister
dries them on soft linen cloths, and
places them on the ether table. No
mops, no boiling water, no piling of
dishes and pouring of water over them
is ever allowed. And that is why the
dishes are not cracked or nicked, though
they are worn thin. Besides, the pro-
cess invests dishwashing with a certain
sort of poetry.-St. Louis Republic.

About the time vegetables aud fruit
for winter use are being stored in cell
lars, the prudent housewife removes
milk, cream, and butter upstairs. She
usually says it is because it is not now
so hot above ground as to do injury, and
they make better butter and butter that
will keep better than that from the cell
lar. 1t Is really because when vegeta.
bles and fruit are put into cellars they
begin at once to give off odors that are
injurious to milk, cream and butter, in

HOW TO CHOW BIG POTATO oRops.

Some wonderful results with regard
to potato culture have been obtained
by a gentleman farmer in France. This
farmer, who is also a distinguished
chemist, has been, according to a recent
consular report from Nantes, for some
time past conducted experiments with
potatoes, with the remarkable result
that he has succeeded in securing the
enormous returns of forty-two tons per
acre. The plan he adopts is to care.
fully select the seed and to use only the
best and soundest tubers. The ground
is dug OF plowed to a great depth and
is well manured. Before planting the
seed potatoes they are soaked for abont
t%wenty-four hours in a mixture composed
Of saltpetre and sulphate Of ammonia,
six pounds of each salt to twenty-five
gallons of water. After this soaking
the tubers are allowed to drain, and
they then stand for twenty-five hours
longer, in order hat the germs may
have time to well.-Chambers's Jour
nal.

They Saw Themselves.

An American traveller in Siberia, hay
ing nothing better to do, one day per-
s,1aded one Of his two native servants
to sit for his photograph. The result
was amusing and not amusing, accord
ing to the point Of view.
The fellow had never seen mirror,
and 1 dare say had no conception of
the degree Of ugliness exhibited upon
his countenance. At any rate, after
seeing the picture he manifested no
delight, though his companion, Con-
stantine, was very much elated, and
could not rest contented until had Sc
cured his picture also.
But, alas for the weakness Of humani-
ty, Mikhaeloff was the pleased one this
time. while poor Constantine was ter
ribly crestfallen.
The portraits seem to have brought
to their minds strange revelations, and
thev retired from ~ tent in a very
thoughtful mood, each trying to smooth
down his neglected locks. Presently
Constantine had occasion to borrow my
scissors, and shortly afterward the two
returned with scarcely vestige of
hair remaining on their heads. and i'm
plored me to make other likenesses.
The fruit of the camera was to them
like the fruit Of the tree Of knowledge.

known to comparatively few people in
the United States. Pottery clay of
very excellent quality is found west of

to fully appreciate the value Of this

developed. but it is safe to say that it
will be of incalculable benefit to the
people of prairie agricultural state.

show what a vast quantity of the Bes-
semer quality of ore can be turned out
annually by the iron mines Of the
North Star State. There are large
samples in the shape Of columns, pyr-
amids and blocks Of stone from the
