Consistency in Dress.

Here is a bit of consistency in woman
between name and taste which for1ns
quite a pretty idea. Miss Olive Risley
Seward, the well known authoress,
adopts the color olive in every article
Of dress in which it can be worn. So
artistically are shades combined and
so varied the combination of materials
and trimmings that the tinge neveS

interesting plots.
But it is Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Clygcr'
who believes in the principle of what
she calls ''since11ty" in dress, to wit.
When the fair scribbler Of society

rustes to and fro, exhaling a delicate
rose perfume too, by the
way-that the rose petals embroidered

Handsome toilets have been noted
lately in violet velvet, red velvet black

Why is it, asks the Brooklyn Eagle,
that pearl gray satin is so much in evil

certainly most effective in combination

Gray satins, trimmed with stsel passe-

EArnl Notes.

An exchange advises to give fowls
all the meat they want. Don't do it.
Feed meat two or three times a week
and no more.
The other day while in the country,
after rain, we saw fowls drinking
from a farlnyard pool. That is no
way to keep fowls.
Nobody is making anything on
horses except the auctioneers. They
can get their commission out of the
horses they sell, just about.
BY feeding COWS plenty of suitable
food and keeping them comfortable,
as they Increase in the milk flow,
butter production will, be increased.
Get butter print and stamp your
name on the butter cakes that are
sent to market. If you make first
class butter your brand will be
sought after.
Keep enough good stock to eat the
surplus feed. Marketing in form of
meat, the corn and other farm pro-
ducts bring better profits and the
fertility is returned to the ground.
Every one knows that an animal in
a comfortable barn will require much
less feed to do we'll, than those with
out shelter, but many neglect to do
what they admit is best. Shelter

Placed in heap with ashes or
sand, occasionally moistened with
liquid manure or water, bone enters
into putrefaction and becomes more
soluble and energetic manure than
ordinary bone dust.
No one can morefully enjoy shady
resting place at the house in the
summer than the farmer. The ex-
pense OF q stoop or piazza is not
great, and the comfort to be derived
is highly remunerat tive.
AS a. rule, it is better to submit to
some sacrifice, rather than thresh
and market your grain as soon as it
is harvested, when everybody else is
doing the same thing. Our grain is
marketed too much at one time.

TO Marry Or Not to Marry.


Irene writes an exceedingly interest
ing letter, which is worth reproduc-
ing: Il am in an unsettled state of
mind, and come to you for advice.
am Is years old and have always lived
with an aunt, my parents having died
when was a baby. I have always
tried to do evrything to oblige my aunt
in every way I could, and have done
all I could to repay her for giving me q
.hcme. Last spring a young man who
has always lived in the village, and
who is we'll liked by almost every ona,
wanted me to marry him and 80 with
him to Oregon: My aunt would not
hear of it, although think love him,
and he went away angry with me be-
cause would not marry him in spite
of my aunt's wishes I have just re-
caived a letter from him, asking me to
leave my amt and come to him. What
shall I do?" Answer: In the absence of
disinterested information, the Ledger
advises moderation. Sit down by
yourself quietly and dispassionately,
and consider whether you really have
deep and abiding affection for this
young man, sufficient to carry you
through all the vicissitudes and posi-
BILE hardships Of pioneer life. Also,
whether your aunts opposition may
not have done much to create an affec-
ton that would die natural death
We're the opposition removed. Any
girl Of IS who can write such straight
forward sensible letter has sufficient
mettle in her to be able to meet almost
any Of the events OF life with steadi-
ness and fortitude. If you feel perfect
ly satisfied that this young man is Of
much greater Importance than every
thing else in the world, tell him to
come for you and marry him; but do
not make any mistake. There is an old
adage about jumping out of the frying
pan into the fire that yea will do we'll
to lay to your heart and ponder seri-
ously. You may not be specially COM
Portable or happy where you are, but
it would be wise to reflect that, under
the present circumstances, you can
change your surroundings if they are
disagreeaEle. When you have married
If you take distasteful conditions. you
take them for life and can not get
away from them. Whatever you do,
however, do not go to the young man.
Let him come for you and marry You
in your own town. If he will not do
this, give up the idea altogether.
