Lady seIkirk and Paul Jones.

A correspondent, while examining
some MSS. in the French national
archives. has discovered a very curious
memorandum drawn up by the notori-
Gus privateer Paul Jones. From this it
would appear that when Lord Selkirk's
plate was seized by his orders the
detachment Of pirates who were sent
to take it were instructed by
their redoubtable captain ''polite-
ly to ask for the family
plate, to stay only a few minutes,
to take what was given them without
demanding anything more and to re-
turn Immediately afterward without
proceeding to any search" According
to Paul Jones, Lady Selkirk was so
pleased that she wanted to come down
to the beach to ask him to stay and
dine with her. One wonders whether
Lady Selkirk thought that little de-
lay might give some English frigate
chance OF coming to the rescue OF the
plate. 1t is curious thing that it was,
as a matter OF fact, restored in l7s4.

Boston Brown Bread.

To make Boston brown bread you
will need pint and a half OF Indian
meal, the same quantity Of rye meal,
half a cupful OF molasses, two pints and
half Of sweet milk, a teaspoonful of
salt and teaspoonful OF soda, says the
World. Mix the two kinds OF meal to-
gether. Dissolve the soda in half
cupfu. of milk, and stir into
the rest of the milk, then
add the salt and molasses. Give these
ingredients thorough mixing, and
pour them upon the mixed meal. Beat
vigorously the batter thus formed, and
turn it into two we'll buttered brown
bread tins. Steam for five hours. On
Sunday morning heat for breakfast by
steaming for little while. Delicious
toast may be made from this bread.

A fayorite trimming for lace hats Is
large garland of roses or perhaps
mere buds and foliage. This include.
several sprays besides three or four
long rubber stems set with thorns and
tiny buds or leaflets. A transparent
hat thus decorated needs no other gar
niture. One or two OF the sprays are
allowed to stand erect, while the rest
are laid along the brim and round the
crown, one being permitted to drop
upon the hair.
The sketch given is OF large hat Of
fancy straw OF the natural color. The
brim is covered with white lace, which
drops over the edge. In front is clus-

a tight bunch OF pink roses. A little
to the right OF the back are three
full.blown pink roses.

STRAW AND LACE HAT.

All headgear intended for women's
wear seems to be:of an ephemeral
character, meant only for the quietest
OF sunny days. The severe simplicity
and ugliness OF mans hat permits
him to appear at an equal advantage
in all weathers, but women, unless
they adopt masculine styles, find it
difficult to keep from looking more or
less bedraggled in times OF wet
weather. To women who have no oc.
caslon to 60 out of doors except on
bright days, this is OF no consequence,
but to the many others who do go out
it is great annoyance to experience
the facts that velvet and ribbon are
spotted by rain, lace willis and ostrich

Lawn Tennis-Good Play Depends
Mostly on the Costume.

Lawn TennlS-GOOO Fiay DepenOS
Mostly on the Costume.
Tennis is, and always will be, game
much favored by the young people, and
decidedly it is most healthy and
hearty amusement. Though why it
should be played in the very warmest
time, of the year, when it is just the
thing for cold weather, it is difficult to
say.
However, fashion goes before every
thing, and as long as tennis remains in
vogue, or until some new game is in
vented to take its place, it will certain
ly hold most prominent place among
all other sports and pastimes. If we'll
played, it is very interesting even to
lookers-on, while the players them
selves seem absolutely unconscious of
anything beyond the game, more espe-
cially so when it comes TO the ''set"
game.
In watching tennis game little
while back was surprised to notice
what great deal depends on the way
the lady players are dressed. For in
stance, one girl had. a tight-ftting
waist to her gown, and the consequences
were really disastrous when she tried
to return her opponents serve. The
ball happening to be little high. she
was obliged to raise her arm to reach
it, causing her to get hot and uncom-
Portable, besides straining her gown
terribly and missing the ball. One
could see she was not skilled player
or she would have known how to dress
suitably for this rather exciting game.
Now, the girl who is a lover of tennis,
and is invariably the winner, prides
herself that she knows what is appro-
pirate, and so she dresses in some light
material and takes good care that her
limbs will have full scope-no tight
! clinging skirts or waists that would
prevent her quick movements. She
must have perfect ease; and then is it
any wonder that more often than not
she gains an easy victory over her op-
ponents? She can give her entire at
tention to the game, with nothing to
hinder her playing or her running.
Here are two little sketches that
saw in the tastefully-appointed salons
of the English tailors:

Sateens are not to be very fashion
able this summer. The material is
warm for cotton goods, and the cheaper
grades of India silk are preferred.
They look very much alike, these
ta,eens ard silks, and when made up it
is quite difficult to distinguish between
them.
Innings are very novel this spring.
For those who do not care to spend the
money on silk, there is new material
which is cool and yet firm. 1t is known
as percaline, and when showing a
moire effect is extremely pretty.

Squash Bugs and Tobacco.

barrel of tobacco stems from the cigar
makers, and took quantity of the

Butter Bacteria.

The theory is now advanced that
the peculiar taste and pleasant aroma
of butter from sour cream Is caused by
bacteria, and that, with experience,
this particular breed of bacteria can
be cultivated and kept on hand and
added to butter by rule, just as yeast
is added to bread, says an exchange.
Experiments are now being made in
capturing and growing these aromatic
bits. and it is hoped that the mistress
of the dairy may soon buy or raise her
supply of them to add to her sweet
cream to produce the proper ripe
ness" Meantime, the other bacteria,
that bring undesirable flavors, are to
be banished. Butter from a certain
dairy in Germany was found to con-
tain certain kind of bacteria. This
butter had a peculiar 'nutty" flavor,
but was soft and lacked keeping quail
ties. 1t is therefore argued that butter
for immediate consumption may be
made by adding the proper bacteria,
while another kind will produce an
article warranted to keep long time.
The fact is that the scientists are just
beginning to get down to the practical
things of earth which relate to what
we eat and what we drink, and butter
Is one of the things they are studying
with good results. Meantime, the
markets are taking all the good butter
made by the old process, bacteria or no
bacteria.

SHEEP DoCToRs THEMSELVES. "A vet
erinarian says: In the state of New
York the older farmers would 60 into
the woods and cut down pine and hem
lock boughs, and draw them into their
sheep yards. They said the sheep
needed something green, but the fact
is they needed something else. The
sheep is by nature his own doctor, and
when he is allowed to run out in the
fields he will eat bitter weeds that no
other animal will touch. Now, he
doesn't always eat those weeds be-
cause he likes them, but because it is
necessary for his own medicine and
nutrition, perhaps, to a certain extent.
Many of these weeds, il we examine
them, we find to be anthrometic. That
is one reason why sheep love the pine
boughs Consequently If I am going to
introduce any medicine whatever to
sheep, it would be in the nature of tur.

ForestaIiing tho SIN mt.

As many farmers are at this time
considering the question of how they
can be sure that their seed wheat and
oats are not infected with smut, we
call attention to one method of pre-
vention. The vitriol or bluestone pro-
cess has been in use for nearly CEN
fury. 1t consists of soaking the seed
in a solution of copper sulphate (blue
vitrioi). The following mode of appli-
cation is recommended by the Indiana
Experiment station (Bulletin No. 32):
I'm treating oat seed we use cold
rain water with one pound of copper
sulphate per gallon of water A COM
mon wash tub was filled about two
thirds full Of water and enough finely
powdered copper sulphate added to
give the above strength. A bushel of
seed was put into coarse woven
grain sack, and immersed for
five minutes in the copper solution,
turning and kneading the sack SO as to
thoroughly wet the seed. The sack
was then placed on bars across the top
of the tub to drain a minute, after
which the seed was spread thinly on an
airy floor. The process was repeated
with another bushel of seed and SO on
until enough had been treated. To
hasten the drying and prevent much
swelling of the seed, it was busted
heavily and repeatedly with land plas-
ter (pulverized air slaked lime will an

1t is well to continue the stirring
every few minutes for few hours, and
If the seed can be exposed meanwhile
to the sun or in q good current of air,
SO much the better. AS each bushel
will take up portion of the solution,
it must be replenished from
time to time, adding both
water and copper sulphate in
the proper proportions. Be sure that
copper sulphate is finely powdered, or
the solution will be too weak at first
and too strong toward the last. A

prunes, sprays and cares for his trees
with the best of his ability and with
the advice of older heads who have
been successful in growing fruit. He
likes the business and succeeds, be-
cause he is determined to do so. If a
fruit-grower has mistaken his calling,
the sooner he disposes of his orchard
the better for him and all other
fruit-growers. The same is true of
poultry-raising. To combine poultry
with fruit-growing, and allow the lat

folly, and the partnership should be
dissolved whenever lively interest
and proper care can not be given to
both. AS fruit-growers, we know that
proper management will make the or

raisers that there is money in
