Don't say a word to spoil Daisy's

Don't say word to spoil Daisy's
pleasure
GLOW could ] forget that, What
selfish girl | am, to be thinking of
Iewelry, when that dear. good Mother
hasn't cloak to her back. DAISY
Field. I'm ashamed of yon. Go in
and buy that nice warm one at once,
and don't Zee NE hear of that ridi-
culous box again"
After this little burst OF remorse
and self-reproach, Daisy took another
look: and prudence suggested asking
the advice Of some more experienced
shopper than herself, before making
so important purchase. As if the
fatcs were interested in settling the
matter at once, while she stood I'M
decided Mary White came down the
street, with Il parcel of work in her
hands.
"Just the person. The Vaughns
needn't know anything about it; and
Mary is a good Judge"
It was pleasant to sec the ."o
faces brighten as the girls met; rather
comical to watch the deep interest
with which one listened and the
other explained; and beautiful to
hear the grateful eagerness in Marys
voice, as the answered cordially:
Indeed, will. You've been so
kind to my Mother, there's nothing
nothing wouldn't be glad to do for
yours"
So in they went, and after due
consideration, the cloak was bought
and ordered home, both girls feel
| ing that it was little ceremony full
of love and goodwill; for Mary's
time was money, yet she gave it glad
ly, and Daisy's purse was left empty
Of all but the good-luck penny,
which was to bring still greater
happiness in unsupported ways.
/ Another secret was put away III
the empty jewel-box, and the cloak
hidden in DaIsy's trunk; for she felt
shy of telling her little business
transactions, lest the Vaughns should
consider her extravagant. But the
thought of her mothers surprise and
pleasure warmed her h art, and made
the last days of her visit the happi-
est. Being a mortal girl, she did
give sigh as she tied a bit of black
velvet around her white throat, in
stead of the necklace. which seemed
really treasure now that it was gone:
and she looked with great disfavor
at the shabby little pin, worn where
she had fondly hoped to see the
golden rose. She put real rose in
its place, and never knew that her
own fresh, happy face was lbs lovely;
for the thought of the two mothers
made comfor table by her was better
than all the pearls and diamonds
that fell from the lips or the good
girl in the fairy tale.
"Let ME help you pack your trunk;
| love to cram things in, and dance
on the lid WHEN it won't shut" Said
Laura, joining her friend next day,
just as she had well hidden the
cloak box under ii layer of clothes.

Honey az Food and Medicine.

One of the most nutritious and
h~althful of foods is honey. 1t is
he one sweet that never clovs and
can be eaten with impunity at all
Zines. The markets are now flooded
with the white clover honey from up
the state and the delicious Califor-
MIA honey made from the orange
blossom. Let your children eat all
the bread and butter and honey they
want. Give them great slices of
bread covered with honey for their
luncheons. 1t will do them good.
From the time the new honey be-
gins to come into the market until
spring | feed my children on honey
every day, says a mother. If they
have - little cold or cough aud
trouble with their threats | give
them strained honey with few drops
of lemon juice, and it proves most
etfectual. When they are hungry
give them generous slice of bread
and butter covered thick with honey
and they never get sick, as they
would eating sweet meats, jellies and
jams. From long years of expert
ence | feel justified in recommend
ing honey as an excellent and nutri-
tive food, not only for children but
for grown people.

ways have a brim, however narrow.
which overshadows the brow some
what. There is a great fancy Just
now for black lace hats. The face
is supported on invisible wires, and
the whole construction is as light
and diaphanous as possible.
The dress OF my second picture
seems to be in princess style, but IN
reality it has separate skirt and
waist. The material is black and
yellow ehangeable satin tarque, dot
ted with yellow. The skirt is gored
and the seams are trimmed with
narrow rolls of nile-green velvet, and
the bottom has three rows of black
satin. The inside has a pinked
ruffie of black silk and the whole
skirt Is lined with silk. The waist
comes over the skirt and is finished
with a belt of nile-green velvet, very
wide at the left side and gradually
narrowing to the right. For this
reason quite large space of the
lining must be first covered with the
goods so that the former will not
show. That part of the waist be-
tween the yoke and the belt has a
folded piece of satin. The yoke APP
pears only in front and is made of
timely tucked satin turque, finished
with band Of black satin and
trimmed with . lace ruffie and tiny
bows of satin ribbon. The cuffs Of
the sleeves are tucked like the yoke.
and the upper sleeves have a lining
OF nlle-green silk draped with black
silk net. At the elbow, falling on
the cuff, there is a dounee of black
lace tied with black satin ribbon.
The arm-holes are also trimmed
with band of satin ribbon. The
back is cut in one piece and shows
no seam.
There is trouble ahead for the girl
who sits on her foot if crinolines are
to come IN. 1t is bad enough now
when we wear short petticoots with
lace OH the edge. As it is now, if a
girls heel does get caught, she can
tear it free, but if she gets caught in
a hoop and tries to kick down one
side, won't it fly up on the other?

Seed Pecan Nuts.
A n. q. correspondent asks:

A \. q. correspondent asks:
|. When is the time to plant pecan
nuts.
2. Should the seed be planted
where it is wanted to grow the tree?
3. How long before the treets will
bear as much as a peck Of nuts?
4. Where can good seed nuts be
procured?
l. Any time in winter or early
spring, January or February is a
good time. 1t is well to soak the
seeds for some days before planting
2. Yes.
3. 1t depends upon the character
Of the soil, s to 10 years probably on
good soil.
4. The Texas Pecan and Seed
Company, Fort Worth, Texas, and
W. K. Stuart Il Company, Ocean
Springs, Mississippi, have for sale
the best variety, the thin, or Paper
Shell, which is the kind you should
plant. Names of pecan varieties are
being multiplied rapidly. We have
the Stuart, the Van Dema, the Co.

Whereas We the members of this
Alliance have heard with contempt
of the effort of the last Legislature 10
interfere with the Business Agency
Of our..State Alliance, with the in
tention, as we believe, of damaging
our order. And whereas as they

they did not accept the amendments
offered by our worthy State Presi-

and satisfactory, but took week TO
fix up others as mean and more cow

part of our enemies to injure one of
the best orders we have ever known
for the benefit of the farmers and la
borers of the whole country.

over one hundred dollars in the
State Business Agency fund, and
should any of our members see fit to
draw out their part we will replace
it at once.

tons was unanimously adopted af-

ments to our charter, and ordered to
be published in THE CAUCASIAN and

of ostrich tips.
There seems to be almost a rage
for violets as hat trimmings, and
they are frequently used so profusely
as to compose nearly the whole hat
Violets and mimosa are favorite

be four punches Of the former set al
the four corners of what is almost a
square bonnet, and a shaped
arrangement of the mimosa in front.
Such a bonnet will be made of black
lace and jet, or the crown will be of
jet with little tluting of lace stick

deal used in combination with colors.
Sprays of jet will form the sides of a
bonnet, the front of which consists
of fern Fittings of light black lace,
little posies of cowslips being in
serted back and front, or, perhaps,
cowslips in front and tufts of vlolets
behind. Fanciful arrangements of
this kind are preferred to straw bon
nets, though straw crowns of some
bright color, such as green, mauve,
or old rose, will be set in pompon
of white or black lace, the whole
being finished by cluster of velvet
roses or other flowers in front, or
fern pleatings Of lace, fastened by
brooch in which imitation emeralds

The line of demarcation between
the hat and bonnet is very slight,

bigger than bonnets; still they al

Attention to Colts.

They should be treated so kindly
that they will come to meet you in
yard and pasture. This is easily &C
complished by frequently giving a
lump of sugar, an ear of corn, OF
something else they like Give each
a name and always call them by it.
Halter-break when quite small, teach
them to lead and stop at the word
"whoa," leave tied for an hour or
two at time, letting them have
something to eat while tied, and
there will he little danger of their
pulling at their halter At one
year of age they may be accustomed
to the bit, and may have light
harness on them for few hours at
a time. The modern practice of
driving to vehicle when only year
lings is bad, for unless extra care ia
used injury will result. Colts
should be accustomed to the sight
of umbrellas and strange noises.

and out of pasture.-Tennessee

Poultry.

The attempt to keep thirty OF
more hens in a poultry-house that
is adapted for only twenty results in
fewer eggs from the thirty hens
than if smaller number occupied
the space. Cases are numerous
where few hens laid we'll, while
large focks gave no returns. The
hens must be comfortable or they
will not thrive, and then during the
warm season there 10 no surer method
of ceasing egg production than to
have 100 many hens together. There
is no economy in crowding them, for
what is gained in one direction is
lost in another.
