An HourgIass In the Coffin,

1t was an ancient practice to put an hour
glass into the coffin before burial as an en-
blem OF the sand of life being run out.
Some antiquarians are of opinion that lit

nerals, like rosemary, and by the friends OF
the deceased either put into the coffin OF
thrown into the grave.-WcstminsteI Ga,

A Flesh Forming Food
<ArtlncfalIy Digested)


<ArtihcfalIy Digested)
While this is an artificially
digested food it appears to in
crease the appetite in a most
remarkable manner, and what
is more gratifying it causes
the food to be properly digest
ed so as to give strength, vigor
and plumpness to the body.
All unpleasant feelings after
eating are prevented and re-
freshing sleep restored; wear
mess and exhaustion give
place to health and cheerful
ness. The emaciated should
use Paskola. 1t supersedes
Cod Liver Oil and is far more
effective. It never rises in the
mouth after being swallowed.

CAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS.

The Disease II Simply . Question Of Too
Much Give and Take.
1t would be well for dairy farmers to
pause and ask themselves what is the
cause of the rapid spread of this dis
ease, practically unknown until within
a few years. Have we in developing
the cows to their utmost capacity
weakened their constitutions? 1t would
appear as If this question would have
to be answered in the affirmative.
The production of milk is serious
drain on the system of any human bel
ing or animal, and, in the case of the
COW, is often continued with little or
no respite all the year round and year
after year. In order to obtain the
kept in warm stables and given as
much rich food as they can consume.
While the owner thus succeeds in OBJ
tanning abnormal yields of milk, he
has also succeeded in giving his cows
delicate constitutions. They have be-
come like dollhouse plants. which fade
away and die at the slightest exposure
to the rude blast These dollhouse
constitutions render their possessors
easy victims of disease. Hence the
spread of tuberculosis
Some people claim that the Jersey is
the breed most liable to this disease,
and, by way of proof, point to the fact
of the number slaughtered for tuber-
culosis being greater in proportion
than that of any other breed But the
writer does not hold this view.
More Jerseys have been slaughtered
simply because being, as q rule, more
valuable than animals of the other
breeds, more care has been bestowed
upon them; they have had more cod
ding. and coddling and delicacy go
hand in hand The Jerseys are OF
themselves quite as robust as their
rivala It is not the breed. but the
system of caring for them that Ia at
fault
Tuberculosis Is simply . question OF
too much give and take. Let the
cows have more fresh air and exercise,
cooler if not cold stables, and a smaller
quantity of less nutritious food You
will then get less milk, but what Is LOST
in that quarter will be made up In the
possession of longer-lived animal. and
If you do not enjoy the envy OF your
neighbors at your milk supply. neither
will you receive their pity for your
slaughtered pets-N. Y. World

Formulas for the Composition for These
Most Generally Used.

Formulas for Tho Composition for These
MOST Generally Used
BORDEAUX MIXTURE
Copper sulphate, six pounds; quick.
lime, four pounds; water. forty gal
Ions Dissolve the copper sulphate by
putting it in a bag of coarse cloth and
hanging this in a vessel holding at least
four gallons, SO that it is just covered
by the water. Use an eartheD on
wooden vessel Stake the lime in an
equal amount of water. Then mix the
two and add enough water to make
forty gallons. It is then ready for inn.
mediate use. For rots. molds, mildews
and all fungous diseases
AMMoNIACAL COPPER CARBONATE.
Copper carbonate, one ounce; an
monia enough to dissolve the copper;
water. nine gallons
The copper carbonate is best dissolved
in large bottles, where it will keep in
definitely. and it should be diluted with
water as required For same purpose
as bordeaux.
COPPER sULPHATE SOLUTION.
Copper sulphate, one pound; water,
fifteen gallons
Dissolve the copper sulphate in the
water, when it is ready for use. This
should never be applied to foliage,
but must be used before the buds break
For peaches and nectarines use twenty
five gallons of water. For fungous dis
eases.
PARIS GREEN.
Paris green, one pound; water, two
hundred and fifty gallons.
If this mixture is to be used upon
peach trees, one pound quicklime
should be added Repeated applica-
tons will injure most foliage, unless
lime is added Paris green and Bori
deaux can be applied together with per:
feet safety. The action of neither is
weakened, and the Paris green loses ali
caustic properties For insects which
chew.
LONDON PURPLE.
This is used in the same proportion
as Paris green, but as it is more caustic
it should be applied with the lime, or
with the Bordeaux mixture. Do not use
it on peach or plum trees. For insects
which chew.
HELLEBORE.
Fresh white hellebore. one ounce;
water, three gallons. Apply when
thoroughly mixed For insects which
chew.
KEROSENE EMULSION.
Hard soap, one-half pound; boiling
water. one gallon; kerosene, two gal
Ions Dissolve the soap in the water,
add the kerosene. and churn with
pump for five or ten minutes Dilute
ten to fifteen times before applying.
For insects which suck, cabbage
worms, and all insects which have soft
bod les.

Ella borate house-dresses are made of
striped silk. with gathered front and
petticoat of plain silk. Across the
lower portion of the front is an accor-
dion plated rufie of the plain goods,
and the sides that overlap the front
are finished with narrower accordion
plaits of the plain silk. The very full
sleeves have falls of plating of the
same sort. A collar and waist-trim-
ming are of very rich passementerie.
A new jacket for a child is of ben
galine and velvet. The fronts are with
out darts and are laid in wide box
plaits from collar to hem. The back is
plated in a similar way. A collar of
velvet covers the shoulders and folds
in under the box-plaits. The effect is
somewhat like an exaggerated Nolfolk
Jacket. The sleeves are very full, and
have wide cuffs of velvet.
A dressy costume for a small girl is
of velvet The skirt is round, and has
a very narrow ruching of velvet The
waist has a round yoke and a trimming
of epaulets and bit of shaped section
of very rich embroidery. A wide sash
of soft. thick black satin is tied around
the waist The sleeves are full, with
turned-back wrist bands of velvet.
A new jacket has the skirt elaborate
ly trimmed with rows of braid. The
back seams have braid with looped
ends. The trimming extends from the
waist up. A full cape-collar-not as
full, however, as some of those recently
seen-and turned-over collar, with
almost covered with braid.
Hats for little girls have very low
crowns Some of them have the brim
rolled up about three or four braids
wide; others are turned down about
the same distance. One of the latter is
exceptionally pretty, trimmed with
wreath of daisies. with the stems braid
ed to form a band, and box. plated
ruffle of chiffon.
A new trimming idea, or, rather. the
revival of an old one, is, that of cutting
the material in scallops, and either
binding it or making it double, then
stitching the scallops and turning
them. This is very pretty on light
weight materials, also on those that
are heavier when they can be pressed
smoothly.
A picturesque hat is made of lace.
lined with stiff net and plated upon q
wire foundation. The trimming is of
let leaves. birds and ostrich plumes, in
