BRITISH RULE IN THE GILBERT
ISLANDS.

The Sydney Herald has inter
viewed two representatives of the
leading firms doing business in the
Gilbert Islands, as to the situation
in that group. 1t will be remem.
bered that these islands were not
long ago brought under the control
of Great Britain. The representa-
tives of these business houses state
that the establishment of the
British Protectorate has been fol-
lowed by a prompt improvement
in the condition and prospects of
the group. The full statement will
be found in another column.
We do not doubt in the least
that British rule in the Gilbert
Islands is proving and viii con-
tinue to prove blessing, as the
abolition of the monarchy will
prove a blessing here. British
rule means the substitution of in
tellige1t, stable and progressive
government for the misrule of
semi-barbarians. Hawaii is fur
thur advanced than the Gilbert
Islands, but native rule here has
been found wanting, as it has been

self government which has been
granted to the Hawaiian should
certainly have been long enough
to enable him fully to prove his

FEMALE UNDERTAKES.

There are, it seems, about 800
women undertakers in the United
States. 1t is remarkable that there
should be one. Women are peculiarly
susceptible to their environment and
that any one of the sex should SUR
round herself with all the grim para
phernalia of death for life occupa-
tion seems almost incredible. A Mil
waukee woman and her daughter are
both proficient in the business, are
embalmers as well as undertakers, and
both are said TO enjoy their profession.
Three brothers and sisters, however,
arc quoted as thoroughly disliking the
calling of their parent and sister. One
woman in the profession, Mrs. +. X.
Wilson of Baltimore, is an expert en-
balmer, and has made some important
discoveries in embalming in lung
troubles. New York Times.

RADICAL CHANGES IN DRESS.

From every point in the fashionable
world come rumors of radical
change in dress next season. They
are as yet vague and conflicting, but
it seems to be generally acknowledged
that skirts are to be abbreviated.
Skirts of travelling dresses have rather
short backs, not gored, but we'll
mounted, and with the effect of very
short trained bell-skirt without its in
conveniences. Attempts are also
being made among fashionable mo-
distes to shorten the skirts of dcmi-
toilets of silk and soft delicate wool.
And if the sequence of fashions of
other days is repeated, double skirts,
paniers, puffs, plaitings and loopings
are all likely TO follow in the wake of
short skirts. -[Once A Week.

Chickens on the Farm.

A generation ago the chickens to bc
seen around the average farmhouse
were of mixed and haphazard breed.
There are farmers still who keep such
poultry; there are also farmers who
do not believe that the world is round
and revolves on its axis every "a
hours. But farmers SO careless as to
their poultry are almost as scarce as
the latter ignorant class. You may
meet q farmer whose ideas are little
mixed about the rotation of crops and
the value of silage, but you have to
go far indeed TO find one who has not
his preference as between Plymouth
Rocks, Leghorns. Langshans, Cochins
and Brahmas. Chickens on a farm
are kind of savings bank, and those
which lay the most eggs and fetch the
highest prices as broilers are very
naturally more highly esteemed. Now
the fancy farmers were the first to
attempt to breed better chickens in
this country, and they continue to
lead in the experiments looking tow
ards the further betterment of domes.
tic fowls.
There is one thing that has been in
ed on in vain, so tfar as ordinary
farmers are concerned. That is the
value of cleanliness-cleanliness in
the chicken houses and cleanliness in
the food and water given to the fowls.
Unclean houses are productive of all
kinds of disease, and unclean food
and water also. There is an old fash
ioned notion that chickens are good
scavengers, and that if allowed the
freedom of the barnyard they will for
age for themselves. This is true, but
it is very unlikely that any cock or
hen from such range would ever
take prize in a poultry show. The
way to get prize chickens is to mate
the best with the best, and rear the
broods with care. AS the reward,
both in profit and satisfaction, is well
worth the trouble, it seems strange
that any country people should be con-
tent with any but the best.-rHarper's

FOOD For YOUR PLANTS.

Give your plants all the sunshine
possible, most of them revel in it,
writes Eben E. Rexford. 1t is food
for them and quite as necessary as a
rich soil. Ferns, some of the begonias,
and a few other plants prefer to re-
main in the shade, but they like good
light, such as comes from diffused
sunshine. Put your fuchsias where
they will get the sunshine of the fore
noon, and give your heliotropes and
geranlums southern exposure.
Plants like the Bermuda lily, azaleas
and oleanders should be kept out of
strong sunlight if you care to have the
flowers last well. Be sure to give
them fresh air daily. = Chicago News

BEST FOOD FOR HORSES.

Oats is the best grain to feed horses
in good health. Barley is next best.
For a steady diet corn is not whole
some and if fed alone for any length
of time is certain to produce ill effects
from indigestion. Oats have about
the right proportions Of nutritious
and coarse matter to be healthful,
while corn has very large per cent
OF strong food. Old or enfeebled
horses should be fed ground food, a
good mixture being four bushels of
oats to one of corn. Twelve quarts
per day of this ground mixture will
prove good feed for any horse while
plowing or doing other heavy farm
work. Whole corn should be soaked
in warm water for six hours before
feeding. Once a week give horses a
feed of wheat bran. An occasional
feeding of potatoes, apples or roots
will prove beneficial, and the animals
will relish the change of dlet.-IChi-

Curing Dogs With Collie.

1t is nothing unusual for dogs to
have collie, especially when fed high
and gwen little exercise. When at
tackled they are restless, moan, or
suddenly start up with yelp, and af-
ter walking about lie down az ain un-
til the next spasm comes on. The
safes. treatment Is to give castor oil,

dose according to the size of the ami

snakes, should be given spirits of
some kind, and in pretty large doses
at first, until the poison 10 overcome.
The dog will usually be very stupid,
with little life, for some days or
weeks after the effects of the first big
doses of liquor have passed off; and
to prevent collapse give a teaspoon
full of whiskey every three or four
hours, mixed with water or syrup, to
make the dose more palatable. Battle

TOMATOES FOR AMATEURS.

Almost any soil will grow tomatoes,
but how many have tried the effect of
enriching the soil? In fact, no soil
is too rich for them, writes Louise Nd.
Fuller. If one-fourth part of the soil
be well-rotted manure, SO much the
better. They will stand forcing bet
ter than any other vegetable or fruit,
and always find good early market.
Seed should be sown in hotbed or in
the house by March /, or sooner.
That sown in hotbed will be ready for
transplanting the 1st of April, and to
be set out May /, if one is willing to
watch ont for the frosty nights. ]
like to set out few plants as early as
the ground will allow, and cover them
at night as long as necessary. If you
wish to secure large, smooth tomatoes,
see that the stigma of every flower is
covered with pollen. This secures the
development of every ovule in the
ovary, and, in consequence, q SYM
metrical form. This will hardly pay
on large scale, but is interesting in
early experiments or for the amateur
gardener. Tomatoes may be made
ornamental as well as useful by train
ing and pruning to show the fruit,
and allow the sun good chance to
ripen them. -[New York Tribune.

advance of this country or that of any
European nation. A German COM
pany will not stake the life" of
woman at all In this country women
have hereto fore been at every dsad-
vantage. What they have secured has
been mainly through their own efforts.
In England the consideration given to
women is comparatively recent, but in
England the necessity of making pro-
vision for the support of daughters
not likely to marry, and where laws
of primogeniture influence those not
bound by them, have aroused men to
the propriety of extending the boun-
ties of life insurance to women them
selves. Women are now admitted 10
some companies on exactly the same
terms as men. An English woman
explains the workings of society in
which she is insured.
BY paying $50 year, at any age,
without any medical examination OF
questions as to health and family his
tory, q woman can receive $500
twenty-one years hence; or by paying
800 year, $4,000 at the end of the
same time. If she dies before the ex-
piration of that time, her representa-
tive receives the entire amount, cx-
cepting the first premium, with two
per cent. compound interest. Or if
she does not care to continue her pay
ments during the entire term. she can
withdraw her payment in the same
way. Or, if woman of twenty-five
wishes, for example, to secure to her
self $500 when she is fifty, she can
do SO by paying S42 year during
that time. This money she can invest
or do with as it pieases her. The
English have applied the pleasant
phrase "growing rich In growing
DID," to this manner of life assurance.

They are made as follows: Take one

manner and mix in with three parts
of good, sharp sand into thin NOR
tar. Have ready at hand a quantity
of not too coase gravel, and keep it

be laid in the walk within few min
utes after it isl ed; as soon as it is

1t has been decided at the Ontario
(Canada) Agricultural College Ex-
pertinent Station that white fleshed
turnips give better yields than the
yellow ieshed varieties, the long
shaped mangles better than the globe
varieties; the white carrots better than
the yellow varieties and the dent
corns better than the flint varieties.
Of the roots grown OH the station
plots for two years the white Swede
turnip. the Jersey fall turnip, the Car
ter's champion and yellow interme-
diate mangel give the highest yields in
their respective classes. OF these
grown for cne year only the imperial
short white carrot and the white Sile-
sian sugar beet give the highest yields
in their respective classes.

ton for three years with thirty-two
varieties of potatoes and also in the

SIMPLE FRoCKs FOR DEBUTANTEs.


1t has gone forth that debutantes
must wear the simplest sort of even
ing frocks, minus artificial flowers,
rich laces and such frlvolousness,
which are too complex for young

waist, modestly low, balloon sleeves
and the merest ghost of skir: bor-
der. There was pretty gown of pink
silk that had sleeves, shoulder straps
anu belt of blue velvet. The bodice
was shirred across the neck with a
ribbon run through and tied in bow
in front. A white tulle has for its
only trimming three ruches of the
same set some inches apart on the
skirt. A more elaborate pink silk
broched in self color is trimmed with
a fringe made of white ribbon, each
strand ending in crystal drop. This
bordered the skirt and festooned the
bodice from the front round under the
arms to the back. Above this the
bodice was draped with pink crepe

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The game is the best table fowl we
have.
Give your chickens fresh water
daily.
Give your fowls all the exercise
possible.
Do not handle the eggs in the incu-
bator too much, it will often spoil the
hatch.
Stale bread, milk and a few finely
chopped onions make a fine food for
chicks.
Give agood variety of feed to the
poultry regularly and not too much Of
one thing.
Remember that fat fowls are not
the best layers. Keep them in good
flesh, but not fat.
For the incubator '.chicks," mix
cornmeal and bran we'll together and
give it to them in the morning
A food may be rich in all of the
elements that nature requires but un-
less the nourishment is extrs led from
it it will be of no value toF owner.
BY feeding the g. stock on
the farm much OF tf ,yary haul
ing is saved while i cure is also
secured to be appl back to the
farm.
The weight at which pig must be
sold to give the greatest profit is de-
termined to some extent by the cost
of the pig to the owner when fat
tened.
During the winter as manure accu-
mulates haul out and scatter on the
fields where it is wanted the per cent.
of waste from washing will be very
small.

TO SELECT GOOD LAYERS.

How many poultrymen can pick out
Il good laying hen from strange
flock3 Not many can do it; yet it can
easily be done after short study of
makeup and character, says the North
west Farmer and Miller. There goes
hen with thick neck, large head,
i'll shaped, walks listlessly about SEEM
ingiy with no intention or purpose in
view. She doesn't care to scratch,
but hangs around the henhouse, evil
IDENTITY waiting for her next feed. She
gets up late in the morning and goes
to bed early in the evening. That hen
may be put down as a very poor layer.
The eggs of some of the other hens go
to help pay her keep.
Here comes another hen. She walks
briskly and there is an elasticity In her
movements that denotes she has some
thing in view. She is neat and natty
in appearance, small bead, with a
slim neck, nicely arched or curved.
She forages and scratches all day long,
and may be too busy to come to her
evening meal She is at the door in
the morning waiting to be let out.
She snatches few moathfuls of feed
and is off to the meadow, looking for
insects. Before she gets out in the
morning she generally deposits her
daily egg in the nest, or returns after
a short forage. She is neat. clean and
tidy, with brightness and freshness
pleasant to the eye. That is the hen
that pays for her feed and gives q
good profit all the year round. The
writer has noted these traits since boy
hood, and knows that they are infalli-

man may in few years, by selec-
tion, have fine flock of hens The

THE REDINGoTE TO DOMINATE.

The redingote in varied forms, and
with many French and English titles,
bids fair to be one of the dominant
styles of the present season. Cut and
fashioned in a variety of artistic
ways, it is adapted alike to visit
ing toilets, tailor made, travelling,
and walking gowns, receptions,
and elaborate evening dresses. There
is seldom an article of dress that has
been found so capable of infinite
variety and universal adaptation and
utilization. In every case, however,
it represents garment straight and
stately in effect, that opens on an
underskirt that is different, but not SO
sharply contrasted as TO be out of
harmony with it. For street uses the
fabrics are of tweed, chevoit, checked
ladies' cloth, or other figured wool
fabric with underskirt of plain cloth,
with braided, gimp-trimmed, or
machine.stitched border. For even
ing toilets the redingote is elegantly
decorated, the sleeves extra full, the
neck slig gatly open, the bodice portion
finished with lace or velvet revers.
Heavy armure silks, failles, ,bengalines,
and other rich uDpatterned textiles
form the very faring bell skirt, while
the redingote is of lowered silk,
Pompadour satin, Venetian brocade,
or shot and dotted bengaline. # New
