LITTLE woMEN'S WEAR.

PALE blue Is trimmed with white
lace and a rich coral pink is appropri,
ately made up with chiffon Of the same
color.
CHINESE silk or closely figured chal-
lies, now so abundantly displayed in
every shop, make very pretty dresses
for young girls.
DARK silk dresses, strange to say,
are worn by young girls of school age
at evening entertainments Many
lovely colors are chosen, such as violet,
pansy, dark blue, all shades of red and
dark green.
FRENCH cashmere, as shown this sea-
son, displays very beautiful designs of
groups of flowers, such as v~iolets, IL
laos, morning glories, pansies and
daisies. This material makes up very
prettily for girls and is much made use
of; as also is crepon. with or without a
figure, and camel's hair, both plain and
figured.
For dancing school are charming lit
tie gowns of white or delicate tinted
crepons, made with straight plain
skirts, very short full waists, giving
an empire effect. short pulled sleeves
and shoulder ruffies. Very often 4
bertha of lace surrounds the neck, and
they are worn with or without
guimpses-
SKIRTS are as varied as those for
grown-up women. They are in circle
shape, gored in front and on the sides,
and straight. The straight skirts,
however, predominant, and two
breadths of double-fold goods or three
of twenty-inch are used. The skirts
may be lined or unlined. Most straight
skirts are simply hemmed.

THE FLAVOR OF EGGS.
1t Depends Very Much on the Food Given

to the Poultry.
The flavor of eggs depends very much
on the kind of food given to the poul-
try. When hens are fed largely or al
exclusively on milk the yOlk is
lighter in color. the white has a milky
look, and the whole egg is watery and
less firm in texture than those laid by
grain-fed hens. The taste of the egg is
also affected, being insipid and unsatis-
factory when boiled or poached and
less fine for ordinary cooking purposes
even. There is no use in saying that
the idea of the quality of the Eggs be-
ing influenced by the food of the hens
is Il mere within, since it is a well-known
fact that the eggs of fowls kept in the
neighborhood of the sea and fed al
most entirely on fish-takcn as they
come, embracing the strong and oily.

1t was quite dark when John re-
turned to the mill, where the wonder

he was half way home he met the
squire, who had become anxious at his
protractcd absence.
John explained this satisfactorily.

qucntly. fall n prey TO cats, skunks or
other animals. Moreover, running
thus together, big and little, the feed
ing time exhibits a constant conten-
ton and mastery of the stronger over
the weaker, which results in impaired
growth.
The better plan is to raise no more
chickens than can be accommodated in
yards of ample size-a yard for each
brood of IS or 20 chicks, and let each
brood have a house to itself of a size to
accommodate the chicks until they are
well grown and ready to be sold or
transferred to the regular poultry
house. Thus one always knows where
his chickens are. lie knows that ene-
mics cannot well reach them, and hat
the work needed to care for them has
been reduced TO a minimum.
The illustration shows n plan for
such chicken yards and houses that ]
think will commend itself + the
chicken raiser. The yards are side by
side, and the houses in Il row of any
length desired. These houses are ar
ranged to afford the greatest conven-
fence. They are some pa feet square
and about ) feet in height, with a sim
gle roof, all the boards being tongued
and grooved. The entire back is a
door. which gives convenient access to
the interior, and within this is n Stat
door for use when the weather is warm.
Such coops ear be thoroughly and read
lily cleaned put with 4 shovel, and dry
loan thrown in, a person with Il shovel
and wheelbarrow being able to 60
the rounds of a large number of
coops in a very few moments. Shade,
either natural or artificial, should be
provided for these chicken yards. II is
often feasible to locate them in an or
chard, with benefit both to the chickens
and to the trees. In any event do not
make the mistake of having the yards
too small. Make them as large as pos
sible.-Country Gentleman.

sOh, thank you, aunt! They will
keep my hands warm as toast" replied
John, with a good deal of feeling.
Tell Googins to take good toll, and
get back before dark if you can"
This was the squire's parting i%njunc-
ton Us this boy of seventy-six" start
ed on his journey to the distant grist
mill.
1t was not exactly seventy-six, but it
was the 22d of February, IT'S.
Going to mill in those days was a
different affair from what il is in this
year of grace.
John Russell, dressed in a coarse
homespun, with knee-buckles and
shoe buckles, 4 coon-skin cap on his
head, and wearing his thick wooden
mittens, mounted upon the staid old
farm horse, Il bag of corn behind his
saddle and another in front of him,
presented a picture that is not likely
to have its counterpart in modern
times.
He whistled merrily as he rode for
ward through the cold February day
on his errand, for it was a pleasant
change from driving oxen and Telling
trees.
GoOgins' mill, so called after the pro-
prietor, who was a German of the name
of Hans Googins, was eight or nine
miles from Squire IIolton's place, down
on French creek.
About a mile this side of the mill the
road branched, the left hand leading
on to the mill, the other taking one to
the American encampment at Valley
Forge, which was four niles distant.
John would have liked nothing better
than to have gone to the patriot camp,
but his orders were imperative, and he
dared not spend the time, 50 he refined
old Sulle to the left and kept on to the
mill.
The miller, a short. stout German,
with n broad, good-humorcd face,
greeted our hero with u hearty 'Goot
morning, mine young frient!'
"Ilow's business?' asked John.

And, with a shrug of his thick Shout

the great wheel in motion.
John remounted and rode slowly
away from the old mill, whose pictur-
esque situation was heightened by its
winter garb Of white.
It was about noon when he APP

was an old militia officer and had

Some Polite Forms.

A lady never extends her hand to a
man whose acquaintance she is MAX
ing. She may or may not shake hands
with a lady who is introduced. but she
must not give her hand to a strange
man. A low bow is the elegant form
of .s~alntation. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man,
no matter how long she is acquainted
with him, unless she respects and id
mires him. A gentleman never ex-
tends his hand toa lady first To do

him to a snubbing. A man shows his

she receives people.-N. Y. Post.

Systematic Methods Is the Keystone b
Success and Profit.
The past aso has impressed upon
the writer the great value of the intro
duction of systematic methods in rails
ing chickens. 1t is a beautiful theory
that brings chickens up on the free
range plan, but it is a plan that en-
tails no little anguish of soul and body,
and that results in the loss OF no small
number of chickens The placing of
individual broods in boxes and barrels
here, there and everywhere about the
premises may answer when the chicks
are little, but as they outgrow their
small quarters and an attempt is made
to transfer them to new quarters, then
the trouble begins, and a chickens OBJ
stinate nature is made painfully appar-
ent, for the broods will persist in
haunting the region of the old coop,
and will camp down for the night Oh
