Late this afternoon Bean came to the

commenced firing at Mrs. Leahy. The
frightened woman turned and fed, leaving

Fishtins Am Madagascar.


MARSEILIES, Dec. 22.-Advices received

arrival Of Colonel Sherviaton, who, it is
said, viii take command Of the Hovas and
other former British officers who
are desirous of taking service under
the Queen of Madagascar. The Ho-
vas are said to be receiving quantity of
ammunition and arms. The French troops
are patrolling the country around Tamatave
and are keeping the Hovas at a

and west of Madagascar is in very dis
turbed state. There has been severe fight
ing between the Hovas and the other tribes.
Several parties OF Hovas have been cut to

A dispatch from Tamatave dated Dec. 13

Cultivation and Plant Food.

Cultivation and Plant Food.
When the soil is made to produce
abundantly there must be no limit to the
plant food provided, and the cultivation
must be thorough. The object should
be to get the early crops out of the way
as soon as possible, and to gain time
there must be such cultivation as will
allow not a single weed to appear. 1t is
when the plants first come out Of the
ground that they are most injured by
weeds, aud when the soil is kept clean
there will also be more moisture retained
in the soil for crops. II the weeds are
killed as soon as they appear, the second
crop will not require such frequent cult
walton, while the next year the weeds
will have been materially reduced. Two
crops cannot be obtained, however, unless
there is plenty of plant food, and in apply
ing manure or fertilizers there will be no
loss from the use of large quantity. as
that portion not utilized will be left over
for the crops Of next season. 1t Is by
feeding the soil, close cultivation and
judicous selection of the proper crops to
be grown that the small farms are made
20 pay.

Tea gowns are made in shot silks,
trimmed with plain surah and crepons in
art shades, with large loose sleeves. Kilt
pleated wooden petticoats are superseding
flannel, although few of the under
petticoats are still made of flannel, but
in art shades.
Some of the new chine petticoats have
straight tlounces, piped on the lower
edge, cut in vandykes, and supplemented
by satin covered with lace.
A round three quarter cape of black
velvet had a cape and ends of ermine, jet
gallon being carried down the seams. A
MORE jacket with rounded basque had
alternate oapes of MORE and satin, edged
with narrow jet gallon, the front almost
hidden by deep jet fringe starting at the
bust, the collar turned down from the
throat; but was wired, and thereby
slightly raised.
The colored covert coating is being
utilized for single and double breasted
jackets with large sleeves, some having
acceptable side pockets.
Qnte new are the small children's
jackets made of white, rather loosely
woven material. They are double
breasted and have sailor collar. The
buttons are gold or silver anchor buttons
Tasteful children's dresses are seen in
colored batiste and crepe materials.
The dress satins are rich, yet soft in
texture. The com binatlons of colors in
which they are provided are generally
rather brilliant, the fabric being intended
for elegant toilettes.
Flowers are mounted very simply this
season in little posies, which are sold in
pairs for the symmetrical trimming of
capots and hats. Green is introduced il
little more freely than at the commence
ment of the season, although it seldom
predominates in a bouquet.
Accordion plated crePon, gauze and
India silk have found so much favor
with the public that it has been deemed
expedient to adapt the same idea to
nuns yelling and moussellnc de laine for
the coming season. This is not entirely
| a new idea bat it is novel in it's present
manifestation. The materials plated in
this way are prepared in dress engths-
so much for the skirt bodice and sleeves
and are ready trimmed with graduated
bands OF satin ribbon sewn on the thin
wooden before it is plated.

ON THE FARM.
Early and Late Crops.

With the use of plenty of manure and
fertilizers a small plot of land may be
made to produce two crops in one year
and allow larger profit than can be
obtained from field that is devoted to
some special cereal crop. There are crops
that can be gotten into market early, in
time to sell for good prices, and the land
again prepared for second crop. This
fact is well known to gardeners, who
make business of supplying vegetables
for market, and farmers sometimes take
advantage of following one crop with
another; also where the land is in prime
condition. By watching the markets and
knowing what to grow snail farms of
five and ten acres have been made to pay
better than large farms that are devoted
to what is called general farming.
