Lace or Silk Gauze for Evening Use. Chin,
Silk for Ordinary Times.
The handkerchiefs in vogue for even
ing use are dainty bits of lace or sill
gauze, those of real point or duchesst
with center of finest linen lawn Still
remaining the favorites for a bride, OF
to put the finishing touch to an elab
crate toilet, especially when the la ttel
has a garniture of similar lace. A pref
ty one can be found for one dollar and
a quarter, with a narrow border Of
duchesse lace, and similar piece let
in at the four corners; while fol-
twenty-five dollars an exquisitely
fine specimen, almost entirely
composed of point, can be procured.
The handkerchief of silk gaze is usually
pure white or of a creamy hue, but the
delicate tints of pink, yellow, ecru and
heliotrope are favored. The edge i 8

narrow hem-stitched border with a
row of the silk embroidery just above
shows a square of pale yellow with an
edging of black lace set on, the lace
broadening or narrowing to meet the
irregular outline of the gauze center
piece. Another imported sample is of
q faint shade of pink crepe with wide
border of colored embroidery.
The fancy white or tinted China and
use can be purchased for almost any
price from nineteen cents upwards, and
comes with the plain stitch, an added
initial, or with embroidered finish of
white or colored silks. However it is
not SO much liked as q similar article
of linen, and it is sure to lose its white
ness or original tint when laundered.
The shops are constantly Offering
some special lot of this both useful and
ornamental part of the wardrobe at
reduction in price, and if one is on the
lookout for opportunities the purchase
can be effected at much lower rates
than ordinarily.
For general use or drcssy occasions
the fine linen or linen-lawn handker-
chief with dainty border of lace or en-
broidery is preferable. One seen on
the counter of a Broadway shop was of
linen lawn as fine as gossamer; it's mar

The raising of poultry on the farms
of the country is not "a general as it

staple products furnish the smallest

They are needed on every table so there

WITHOUT WATER.

The Ultimate Condition Of Our Earth a.
Deduced From Analogy.
volume might be written on the
vast and awful desolatiop of the lunar
surface; but unquestionably this ire
mendous metamorphosis was wrought
when the oceans. whose dry beds we
now designate as mares. retreated to
the interior and literally rent the
planet with explosions of natural gas
and steam.
If we calculate the coolest crust of
our earth at fifty miles in thickness.
and this is perhaps allowing for more
than there really is, then the molten
interior at an approximate estimate
still has a diameter of seven thousand
nine hundred miles. We can imagine
what an effect this would have on
the earth's contour, or rather on
the character of its periphery, if
any of the oceans should in a
colossal way come in direct con-
tact with this internal fire. We can
turn our large telescopes to the moon

conclusions from analogy, will be the
ultimate fate of the earth.
Yet, without the water there could
not be a single form of life, for in both
vegetable and animal formations this
is the all-important vehicle in produc-
ton and development. Beyond any
question it is to the water that all life
forms must primarily refer their orr
gin, and there is not a single known
form that can maintain life without it.
The principle of life can not be opera
tive except it be in organic moisture
Neither brain. nerves nor capillary
tubes are capable of manifesting the
vital principle in dry condition
Hence a waterless world is necessarily
a dead world. 1t is the water that
molds the sphere, gives it its contour,
is the animating vehicle, sustains its
life, and also rends it in the throes of

Mr.. FuNNYMAN'S IDEA.

Good Roads.
can inform your readers of the very
best way that roads cnn be improved
and the only way to have lasting roads.
Take the road tax from every farmer
who is willing or able to build up and
care for n limited length of road. Di-
vide the country roads up into small
chunks. Give q premium of a new
kind OF pig or a new strain of cockerel
for the best improved chunk of road in
the care of any single farmer.
Get the ladies interested bv offerinr
them prizes of sweetmeats or chocolate
drops. if they will their influence
with their husbands, father and sweet
hearts, to make and keep up their
quota of the road. Have kissing bees
which will interest the boys, they will
do any sort of work for a kiss. This
will start up big excitement through
out the country.
Offer to give all the stone, gravel or
sand necessary to make a permanent
road. When there is no stone there is
plenty of gravel, and when there is no
gravel there is sand. Mix sand with
clay gravel with clay-mix stone
broken as small as hens eggs with
clay. Tax city people and farmers
who do not help to make the roads
Then when rything begins to
work smoothly offer reward for the
poorest worked piece of road. The re-
ward may be a pair of mules ears cut
from the head of a defunct mule, well
creased and dried. There is nothing
like rewards offered to start the
farmer into good actions. l feel conf
dent if the above is put into practice
we will have the best roads that the
world ever saw. And we will have
plenty of fun as we'll as good roads.

THE BUTTER INDUSTRY.
01story of Ono OF the Staple Commoditioe
of Modern COmnnerce.

Alstory of Ono Of the staple Commoditssa
of Modern Commerce.
Mention is several times made of the
word butter in the English translation
Of the Old Testament. but most schol-
ars understand the Hebrew word for
butter to refer to some liquid prepare
ton of milk or cream. The oldest dis.
tinct a1lusion to butter is by the Greek
historian, Herodotus, with an occa-
sional reference by other contempt
raneous writer's who lived about five
hundred years before Christ. The
Tbracians and the Greeks were the
earliest nations to adopt it as food, for
1T served as an ointment before it came
to be eaten. 1t subsequently came into
use among European nations.
1t is related by Plutarch that while
. Spartan lady Yves visiting the wife of
a distinguished nobleman of an ada
cent principality, the former smelled
SO strongly of sweet ointment, and the
latter SO strongly of butter, that a
mutual repulsion was the consequence,
which finally ended in war.
A distinguished Grecian physician,
who lived about the time of Christ
mentions that butter was made by
agitating the latest milk, as that Of
sheep.
Another writer treats of the COM
parative qualities of that made from
the different animals, but none make
mention of it's being used even at this
period. except by the Thracians and
ancient Germans
1t was between the third and fourth
centuries that butter came into gem
era1 use. 1t is supposed that the gen
era1 custom of eating of butter was in
PRODUCED into northern Italy by the
of Genoa and Venice,
and from these cities the custom grad
ually spread over Europe as the good
qualities of it became known. Ameri-
ca MS are a nation of butter caters, and,
though immense quantities are con-
at home, many thousand pounds

the dear friend of go many among his
confreres, undertook that last opera
ton which should crown, and, as it
were. sum up all the labors of tina
human intellect, in ali ages.
What was that operation? cannot
tell precisely. Mira Sequita has found
very little to assist conjecture In tho
study at Epson, and of his papers ut
Ratholin not tho tiniest fragment re-
mains. 1t would be quite consistent
with the professors other arran ge-
ments to destroy every hint of his pur-
pose before leaving home. For If the
operation succeeded. he designed, 1
know, to make a public announcement
instantly; but If 1t failed. he. would be
anxious to prevent others following the
same deadly course Of experiments.
Therefore. 1t is scarcely to be hoped
that detailed memoranda survive.
But although unable to give any ex-
act Information, I can furnish some
hints. Prof. Sequlta chatted to me-
a friend from boyhood. ignorant OF
haps. than to his brother savants,
upon the Anal purpose of his investi-
cations. There is no harm. l think,
In sketching the general idea which
those conversations left on my mind.
Everyone knows that the higher prop
ertaes OF electricity were his special
study of late years. After inventing
all those wondrous applications of the
power which have made his name inn
mortal and gained him such wealth,
he sought, in his own words, the First
Cause. OF his conclusions upon that
matter. up to a very recent date, there
is no secret-they will be published
But this inquiry led him, by
parallel course. to speculate on the
of electricity. That it is the
