JEWELRY AND SiLVERWARE,

A SKULL of briar wood with silver
cross bones for ornament is smokers
fancy.
TIE vine-wreathed claret jugs in en-
graved glass and silver gilt are the
most attractive things of their sort.
GRACEFUL silver tete-a-tete coffee
and berry sets fcstooncd with garlands
bespeals the hospitality of piazzas and
arbors.
LARGE spoons of silver gilt have
stems of raised work inclosing plaques
of enamel work. These spoons have
broken edges of metal and enamel.
These, however, only extend half way
around the spoon, leaving the working
ends sharp and free.
BELT pins arc among the novelties.
These are enlarged bib pins, intended
to effect q better union between the
back Of the belt and a woman's skirt.
They are covered with raised work or
occasionally are set with tiny tur'
quoises and semi-precious stones.
In sports yachting superscdes every
thing else in things ornamental and
symbolic leaves and remnants adorn
everything. After all this is an amuse.
ment that interests few compared with
other sports. Yachtsmen and women
perhaps, have more money to spend in
trinkets.

HERE AND THERE.

Your home tells the stranger what
you are. What kind of reputation
does it give you?
-"Well fed is half bred" is a true
saying. No man ever starved money
out of live stock.
The man who works all the week
ought not to worry on Sunday. Worry
is the hardest kind of work.
-Amodern philosopher once said that
the man who worked for nothing and
boarded himself hardly ever earned
more than he got.
If you make companions of your
children you are laying up store of
comfort for your old age that will re-
turn a very large interest on the in
vestment.
Somebody has said: "You must feed
your farm if you want it to feed you, s.
and this is true. If you keep taking off
your farm and never put anything back
you are breeding poverty for your chill
dren.
Hard times are not made any bet
ter by brooding over them and whining
about them. 1t is better to smile than
to sigh any time. Half our evils are
imaginary-and most of the other hall
preventable.
Most of hired men have souls, but
some employers treat them as Il they
had not. Nothing pays better in the
way of returns than to treat the hired
man as if he were human being. A
word of praise now and then makes
work much easier for the man.
Some men work as if they expected
to sleep forever when they die. These
same men are going to be surprised
some tine when they find out how
much time it is possible to waste al
work. - The American Farmer anG

year. Some one has said, "You can't
hold good country down and that is
about right. We have made lots of
wheat, oats and corn, and we will
have lots of fat hogs and fat
cattle, and we are going TO
live fat and happy if the congress of
the United States continues to act the
fool. The wise thing for the farmer to
do is to now begin to feed his hogs,
save his fodder, put up his hay, break
his stubble land, and break it deep; cut
down every weed on the place; be good
to your wife; tell her that she is the
prettiest and sweetest woman in the
world, if you know you are lying, for
if you don't think so you ought to; go
to preaching and try to do what the
preacher tells if you think he knows; if
you don't, do as your wife says, and if
you don't get to Heaven it will be your
own pure meanness. -Texas Farm and

MUTTON SHEEP.
A Class of Sheep to which Farmers Should
Pay More Attention.

Pay More Attention.
That farmers az a class should use
more mutton can hardly be disputed.
1t is palatable, cheap and nutritious,
and when sheep are kept upon the farm
affords an opportunity of having fresh
meat at less cost and with less risk
of loss than almost any other class of
stock. During harvest and at thresh
ing more or less fresh meat is neces-
sary, and with little planning head
of mutton can be made to supply all
that is needed, but it is not only on
these extra occasions that mutton can
be used to great advantage. On too
many farms too much dependence is
placed upon fat bacon or picked pork
for the meat. During the summer
the constant use of fat pork in this
way is at least detrimental to health
if not positively injurious, and fresh
meat would be healthier as well as
more palatable. Many farmers are so
situated that they can not depend upon
the butcher, while in reality the NUT
ton is so much cheaper that the aver
age farmer can better afford to kill a
good fat mutton than to purchase
fresh meat from the butcher, even
though it be brought to the door rea-
sonably regular. One advantage of
mutton over other kinds of fresh meat
is that it will keep longer than either
beef or pork.
But to have supply when needed
and to have of good quality it is
nearly always best to commence in
good season. Mutton to be good, should
be reasonably fat, but with plenty of
grass and water this would not be diff
| ficult to secure.
There is nearly always wethers or
ewes that have not proven good breed
ers that should either be fattencd and
marketed or butchered, and when
fresh meat is needed it will be more
economical to butcher than to market
as selling fat mutton and buying fresh
beef and pork is paying good profit
for converting animals into meat while
it is very questionable all things con
sidered, if the quality is as good.
The average farm family will readily
cat good mutton before it will spoil
and do this much more readily thar
they would pork or beef, and this is
quite an item.-Wool and Hide Ship

TIMBER CULTURE.

Tennessee One of the Few States Not Yet
Stripped and Making Effort at Renewal
of Her Forests.
Tennessee is one of the few states
that have not been stripped of their
timber without concern for future
needs and climatic conditions. About
so per cent. of the land in Tennessee is
still wooded. There are 26, $50, 900 acres
in the state altogether, of which near
ly 100000 are timbered. Only three
states in the south have greater tim
Der acreage-North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia. AS the altitude
OF the forests of Tennessee varies from
200 to 6000 feet above the seas level,
woods every kind known to the
United States are to be found
there. In value, the oak has the
first place, but the ash, of which
there are two varieties, the white and
the blue, is hardly less important.
Even in Tennessee the forests of ash
are now found only in districts remote
from the railroads, but so rapid is the
growth of this tree that it is being
planted as an investment. A farmer
who set out grove of ash trees, COW
ering 10 acres, 19 years ago, now has
| $4,000 trees inches in diameter on an
average and IS feet high. There were
no expenses of cultivating, and the 10
acres of the $4,000 trees are worth
at the present time between 81, 900 and
$4,000 Besides oak and ash, Tennessee
possesses three varieties of elm,
two of gum, two of fir, three
of hickory, two Of locust, three OF
maple, two of pine, three of poplar and
two of walnut. Among other trees
found in abundance are the beech
birch, buckeye, red cedar, wild cherry
cottonwood, cypress, dogwood, bass
wood, mulberry, tupelo, sycamore and
the sassafras. OF oaks, there are nc
less than twelve varieties. Cedar, UNI
fortunately, is going very fast Bucket
factories in the state use 100000 feet
of this timber every year. Telegraph
companies use it almost exclusively fol
poles. Nearly 100000 feet goes each
year to St. Louis, where it is made into
fence rails. The rapidity with which
the cedar is being consumed has opened
the eyes of some of the friends of the
forests in Tennessee, and warning
has been sounded. Evening Post
