vERpuaous LAWNS AND FOLIAGE.
An EngIishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.

An EngIishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.
Lewis Rose, practical gardener,
came to this country 10 years ago from
England, where he was farmer, and
he trims and cuts according to English
rules. Speaking of this country, he said:
You Americans do not know what
good lawns are. In England the houses
of the gentry are surrounded by acres
of green sward that looks just like vel
vet. They NOW the grass with ma
chine every week, and after the mower
comes heavy stone roller that rolls it
down as fiat as piece of paper. 1t is
just as smooth as that table cover there
stretched over the table. The roller is
to press down and heal any little break
or tear in the turf made b. the machine
If you break the turf anywhere. it Is
just like breaking your skin. You
must fix it directly, or there will be
sore place on the lawn. Even if it gets
we'll there will always be scar there
unless you mend it carefully. You
should see the English lawns after a
shower! The green is beautiful, and
every blade of grass stands up straight,
but all the little blades are of exactly
the same length, and they look soft and
level. The perfume of the new grass
is delightful. They have windows gen
orally that come down to the floor, and
on the walls outside the house are
climbing rose bushes all in bloom. The
combined odor of roses and new mown
grass is very pleasant.
You have to go at a lawn as if it
were a piece of embroidery you were
at work on. First you must have good
rich, decaying mold for the grass to
live on. You cannot make grass grow
in sand. Then as the grass comes up
you must go over it step by step and
dig out all the coarse grass and weeds
and be sure to mend each place after
digging up the roots. Then you will be-
gin to find patches where no grass ap-
pears. You want to have grass seed
handy and SOW these places with it.
l water my lawns twice day-in the
morning before the sun gets fairly up
and at night after it goes down. NOW
the grass every week. After you have
a good lawn you must watch every
inch of it. You have no idea how easy
it is to let patch here and there get
poisoned to death. When you find any
foreign substance on lawn that is like
ly to poison the grass, you want to dig
it up, put fresh soil and fertilizer I'M
der it and fit new and healthy bit of
turf in the hole you have made. Then
keep an eye on it afterward and water
it we'll. The rich, deconposed sweep
ings from the stable make the best fer
tiliZer.
In pruning trees you want to cut off
every long shoot and make your trees
compact and bushy like a full blown
rose. Even wealthy Americans let their
trees get scrawny, and they don't al
ways cut them enough to prevent decay
in some of the branches. 1t is easy to
trim trees if you understand this prin-
ciple. And the only reason have been
successful with my lawns is trat have
been willing to take pains with them
and do lot of hard work.-New York
Sun.

Pretty Styles In Dress Waists.

When the home dressmaker feels nerv-
GUS about fitting a waist, a very good
plan is to get a good pattern, cut the
lining by it and sew part of the seams.
Then plat or drape the material on it,
cutting it and sewing in with the seams
whenever necessary. A very pretty style,
and one that is not hard to make, has the
material gathered into the neck at the
front and back, the fullness confined to
the waist by girdle beI3 The neck is
furnished with plain rundown collar,
and the sleeves are leg O. mutton shape.
Another is very much like the shirt
waists worn last year, with the addition
of q derby collar. The surplice waists
have never lost their popularity and may
be seen in all kinds of fabrics from cali
CO to silk. There are great many pref
ty and becoming styles in round waists.
Some have square, round or pointed
Jokes and deep cuffs, contrasting in col
or with the rest of the waist Two ma
terials may be utilized in this way where
there Is not enough Of one.

PATTERN FOR SKIRT.

ON each side Fold Il breadth of material
diagonally, so that the wide side will be
seven inches wider than the other. This
will give two cores exactly the same.
There are various ways of cutting the
back. Some cut two cores and join them
in bias seam. If this is done, piece
of tape should be sewed into the seam, or
a sagging will ensue.
The best way for cutting cotton skirts
is to simply use two straight widths for
the back. Another way is to put n full
ruff1e about half way up the back of the
skirt, this founce really forming part
of the skirt, as the under breadth ter
inmates where this joins. White skirts
for service are trimmed with ruff1es of
the same material hemmed and tucked,
or with plain ruffles and embroidered
ones. A good quality of hamburg is
used if something better is desired, or
rather something that looks prettier.
Bingham, holland and mohair are all
used for serviceable skirts. Black sateen
has not yet had its day and is pretty and
neat looking. AS far as cleanliness goes,
skirts that will wash are far preferable.
For those who can afford them are the
hand embroidered skirts. These are not
very elaborate, prettily scalloped edge
with Il narrow working above being con-
sidered good form. Some very nice
skirts have deep hem wrought with
hand embroidery.
The silk petticoat is cut in five pieces
"a front breadth, two side cores each
side and two back cores, with seam in

SILK PETTICOAT PATTERN.

the back. The rule given for cutting
above is the correct one, the back breadths
being cut bias in silk skirts. Various
silks are used, but the heavy American
silk stands out and keeps the gown in
the approved shape. These skirts are
deeply faced from 12 to 90 inches with
linen stiffening. An outer facing may
be put over this if desired. Use bias
velvet for "braiding" the bottom and
do not use pink ruttles. A plain hem is
much neater and does not fray as quick
ly. In making silk petticoat a casing
is run through the back cores, and a
tape holds them in place. A betting
which flares is now made for skirts. This
allows for the little spring over the hip.

DON'TS FOR FARMERS.
Don't try 10 please your wife.

Don't try 10 please your wife.
Don't appreciate one thing she does.
Don't help care for the children. That is
what you got her for.
Don't ever plan your work SO as to be able
to take her to any entertainment.
Don't be surprised to read that the ma
jority of insane women are farmers wives.
Don't get the bucket of water from the
cistern when asked. Any one can pump

Don't fail to invite company to dinner on
Sunday without letting her know so she
can have a day for rest.
Don't fail to ask your wife if she wants
you to do all the housework when she asks
you 10 put some wood in the stove.
Don't wonder that your food has q pecul-
lar flavor, for it is seasoned with blasted
hopes, signs of disappointment, etc.
Don't neglect asking what she has done
with all the egg and butter money, for it
will more than supply the table, help pay
the hired man, get the children books and
clothes, etc.-Stockman.

SIMPLE SALVE.

Olive oil is now being given for acute
cramps.
Don't sleep in a warm room IL you want
to be free from headaches and have a good
complexion.
Never enter a sickroom in q state of per
SEPARATION, as the moment you become cool
your pores absorb.
For infiammatOry rheumatism dissolve
into pail of sweet oil one ounce of pulver-
lied saltpeter and thoroughly rub the parts
affected.
DR.. J. F. Huxley Of Maidstone, England;
thinks he has hit upon the Datural remedy
for sleeplessness. 1t is. in brief, to curl
under the clothes like a kitten or put the
head under the wing like a hen.
Any one troubled with pimples should
avoid bathing In cold water. Take plenty
of hot baths and give the eruptions chance
to come out CT the body, If they must come
out at all Wash the face in hot water,
-iping it very gently.

She Was Cute.

"Some girls are too cute for anything"
remarked a Boston drummer with his left
arm off at the elbow.
'As to how?' inquired the hotel clerk,
who was q connosseur.
'In various ways" continued the drum
mer, "but in one particular way which re
Gently became part of my experience"
For instance" suggested the clerk.
1T happened out in Missouri" said the
drummer. Il stopped over Sunday in a
little town where one of my customers had
rather pretty daughter, and to while away
the time l asked her to go buggy riding
with me, which she consented to do very
readily. AS we were about to get in she
hesitated a moment.
"'What is it?' | asked.
"'I'll sit on the right side of the buggy
she said, jumping in.
"'What's that for?' asked rather quick
ly, feeling that she thought l could not
drive with this one hand of mine.
"'Well, if you don't know what for she

learn. Get in here and move on And l
did get in, and we moved on. "-Detroit

A NERVOUS WOMAN.
What She Thought About
Nerves.

The nerves are the most important part
of the system. If they are weak, the per-
son is run down, tired, languid and does
not feel like doing anything. She can
sleep but little, her mind wanders, her
appetite is gone and what she can eat does
Der no good.
This is just the condition Mrs Milo
Griffith, a we'll known lady of Moretown,
VT, found herself in and the readers will
see by the following letter that she knew
what to do to get we'll.
About seven weeks ago" she says, II
was taken with very severe nervousness
and could not work. could but just drag
around. l also had the asthma badly. l
was so nervous that at times ] could not
lay in the house, but felt as though I must
go out into the street and run.
Il had no appetite and what l did eat
laid heavily on my stomach and sometimes
distressed me severely. l had seen DIR
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
advertised and heard it most highly
praised, and determined at once to take
this medicine which was so favorably
spoken of by everybody. 1 had only taken
it short time when began to feel the
good results from it, and am now entirely
cured of all my complaints.

A FEW days ago. Lord George Hamilton,
who was IN English cabinet minister
under Lord S,lisbury's tory government
in an address delivered before the Royal
Statistical society, in London, on the sub
ject of Ocean Highways. and their Bear
Ing on Food and Wages" took occasion to
draw tie attention of his audience to what
he declared to be the absolute dependence
of Great Britain on foreign sources, not
only for her food, but for the raw mate
rials of her manufactures of almost every
kind the chief sources of her trade and
prosperity The dependence of Great
Britain on foreign supplies has grown
enormously in recent years. The ratio of
increase of imported foreign food has, in
fact. been much in excess of the ratio of
the population it supplied; and it conse-
consumption a much larger proportion of
the whole British population Is now de-
pendent upon foreign food than was the
case TWEEN years back. AS to raw prod
ucts for manufacturing purposes, the de-
pendence of Great Britain on foreign
countries is equally great. 1t is little
wonder then that continental statesmen
regard England as being perpetually under
the heaviest bonds to keep the peace"

DYSPEPTIC DIGS.

Some people are never at home until they
are away from home.
When a man has no reason to trust him
self, he trusts in luck.
The more man says the oftener he is
liable to contradict himself.
The trouble with giving women spending
money is that they spend it.
Nearly every unmarried woman believes
that lot of wives are jealous of her.
We dream great things of tomorrow, but
all it ever becomes is another yesterday.
We are all frauds to a greater or less ex-
tent, but doctors are greater frauds than
the rest of us.
If a woman wants a welcome when she
gets home, she should leave her husband
with the baby when she goes.-Atchison
Globe.

DIR H. D. CHAPIN one of the best known
young physicians in New York, has for a
number of years had under his charge the
children's wards in several hospitals. AS
case after case has come under his super
vision, he has taken the trouble to make a
thorough study. not only of the child's
physical condition, but whenever possible
of its parentage and of its antecedent con-
ditions, Having kept a complete record in
this very full and interesting way for n
number of years. he found at last that he
Lad the history of 600 hospital children.
Such an investigation. of course, contained
large number of instructive facts, il
structive from physicians point of view,
but none the less instructive from socio-
logical point of view. summary of these
studies of DR. Chapiu's conclusions is pre-
sented in a brief article tn the March
number of the Forum, wherein he shows
that hrredity plays comparatively unlm-
porttnt part compared with the environ
mrnt OF child life.

ELECTRIC SPARKS.

The older the electric lamp the more cur
rent is required.
A system of signaling from the captain
of a vessel to the engineer by electric bells
has been invented.
Nearly all of the electrical inventions, ex-
cepting the lightning rod and the telegraph,
have come in use since the Centennial ex-
position.
A scheme is preached in Germany of EN-
ploying electricity to move heavy trucks
and drays. This is a development of the
electric carriage idea, which has been sue
cessfully used in that country for years.
A recent development is the use of cleo
tricity as a local ansesthetic. Painless OPP
erations have been conducted under itsin-
fiuence, and similar applications with suit
able apparatus have induced cessation Of
pain in acute tic douloureux.

My Athletic Girl.
Three times week, with dumbbells bigs
She tolls and knows no ease,
And clad in some ungraceful rig
She clings to the trapeZe.
Upon the horizontal bar,
Pendulumlike, she swings,
And like some lady circus star
Spins round upon the rings.
Each day she puts the boxing gloves
Upon her dainty hands,
And caring not for those she loves
She counters and she lands.
Oh, would to heaven she would try
A much more peaceful art
And go back to the days gone by
When she took up Delsarte.
For now have to great care
And know what I'm about.
To kiss her don't even dare
The girl might knock me out.
