employ the square shape, but the lower
part of the square must be narrower than
the upper part The sleeves should be de-
cidedly short.
Slender women who have full neck
and shoulders may wear any fashion Of
decolletage. For those who have not a
high bust the pointed style is particularly
suitable The display of the entire shout
ders, as in the 1880 fashion, with the mid
die Of the decolletage pointed, may be in
dulged in only by women whose shoulders
are perfect. If the shoulder is too pointed,
bretelle of velvet will be becoming.
Women who have small but we'll round
ed shoulders and are otherwise slenderly
developed will find the round decolletage
most favora BILE or tho square style not too
much emphasized. They should add
berthas, ruff1es and bows to set off the
neck and shoulders and to give the waist
its proper proportion.
A drawing string should be run in the
top of all low corsages to keep them close
to the figure. If the shoulders are exceed
ingly thin, but the formal necessity for a
low cut gown prevails, a drapery Of tulle
may be skillfully arranged to veil every
thing except the neck. In this case the
top of the sleeves should rise little above
the shoulders.
The gown illustrated is of blue satin
and white silk dotted tulle. The trim
ming consists of punches and trails Of
wood violets, combination of tints not
likely to be generally favored. The tulle
bodice Is made over white silk.

Ex-speaker Reeds New Cane.

Everybody who knows Mr.. Reed at
all knows his adherence of loud or
f1ashy dress. He dislikes jewelry. His
scarfpin, when he wears one, is Of the
most m Oldest kind. No rings sparkle on
his fingers, and nothing could be more
unobtrusive than his watch chain.
Well, the other day, when Mr.. Reed
was in Providence, he was presented
with cane. 1t was an enormous affair,
with head as big as football and
with great amount of gold cary
ing and elaborate fligree work. Mr.
Reed gasped as he clutched the cane,
but he carried it bravely until he settled
himself down in a railway car. Then
he took newspaper and quietly wrap
ped up the cane. He swathed the mass
i've head in his handkerchief, and he
sent the entire outfit into retirement
under the seat. When he reached his
hotel in this city. he handed the bun
die to his wife. He breathed sigh of
relief as he saw it consigned to clos
ct, and when it comes forth again, it
will be because there is moving day

HOW TO RENEW A STRAWBERRY BED.

Sensible Suggestions For All Who Guilt
vate This Luscious Fruit.
There are two ways of renewing
strawberry beds besides the one of re-
setting entirely. OF late the best grow
ers try to get the heaviest possible crop
the first season after the vines come in
to bearing and then pillow up the vines
and reset or put i'll some other crop.
Others are beginning to adopt the plan
Of moving the vines after the crop is off
and after they are dry, raking them be-
tween the rows and burning them and
then working tho soil very close to the
old rows with cultivators, and hand hoe
ing in the rows SO as to give the runners
a chance to find well fined soil in which
to start the new growth.
Still another plan is to work the soil
up between the rows, as above stated,
and as soon as the runners have spread
out between the rows and taken root
the old vines are cut off with a sharp
hoe and new rows established between
where the old ones were, the space &C.
cupied by the old rows being worked up
with the cultivator. Either of these
plans is good and practicable, and for
small patches we think them preferable
to resetting altogether. Strawberries
take kindly to fertilizers, and it is pos
sible to grow very large crops if they
are attended to in proper manner and
at the right time. No farm garden
should be without few rods Of these

Hov Co clean woodvork.

It often happens that the woodwork
on doors, particularly near the handles,
will become quite dirty and badly
stained by the frequent running back
and forth of careless children. In these
cases it is sometimes found impossible
to remove the marks with cold water or
without the use of soap, however unde
sirable If this occurs, throw two table
spoonfuls of pulverized borax into pail
of hot water and wash the paint with
it. Do not use a brush, but if found i'm
possible to remove the marks in this
way then soap must be resorted to- Rub
the soap on the cloth and then sprinkle
over the soap dry borax and rub the
spots faithfully, rinsing with plenty of
water. By washing woodwork in this
way the paint will not be injured, and
the borax will keep the hands soft and
white. Borax is not half as freely used
in domestic labor as it would be if all
it's usefulness were better known. Its
help in increasing the cleansing proper
ties Of soap and at the same time cor
recting its corrosive tendency is one of
its most valuable properties.

THE DISCOVERY OF AReoN.

Condolences Connected With the Expert
nlepts Made by Scientists.
Professor Ramsay explained in an in
terview last week how he discovered
argon, the new element in the atmos-
phere which is now exciting the won
der of the scientific world. He said
1.-THE impulse came directly from Lord
Rayleigh. He was much impressed by
the fact that atmospheric nitrogen was
heavier than chemical nitrogen. This
might be due to an admixture of lighter
gas with chemical nitrogen or to the
presence of gas of greater weight in
atmospheric nitrogen. Lord Rayleigh
was inclined to the former explanation,
and some four years ago he consulted me
about the manufacture of chemical nj
trogen.
81 regarded the second explanation as
the true one, and after he had been ex-
perimenting for some time l asked his
permission to make experiments on my
own account. He never hesitated to &C.
cord his consent, and 1 set to work.
1t was dreary waiting for results that
never came, but there were times of
high excitement as my suspicious be-
came probabilities, and probabilities
grew into triumphant certainty. At
length, in July last, l was able to send
Lord Rayleigh three ounces of the new
gas
lie replied at once He also had
some of the gas Our Investigations,
conducted independently, had led to
simultaneous success, as has been the
case with so many discoveries and inven-
tons There was still another coinci-
dence a little later. AS soon as we got
the gas we wanted to find out its nature.
Was it chemical com bination or a me-
chanical mixture? Was it monatomic or
diatomic, simple or compound? Profess
or Olszewski Of Cracow was expert
menting with it in communication with
me. By the application of heat he made
the discovery that there was no loss Of
heat through intermolecular motion.
We made out that argon was monatom-
ic. l wrote the news to Cracow. My
letter had hardly gone when l received
a communication from my confrere. He
had also suspected the monatomic nature
of the new gas, but for another reason.
Argon weighs 90 times as much as n.y.
drogen and 16 times as much as oxy-
gen. He had expected the heavier gas
to iquefy at higher temperature. To
his surprise, it liquefied at a lower tenn
perature. There was only one conclu-
sion, and that was argon was monatom-
ic. But it was curious that letters an
nouncing the same information should
cross. New York Suns London Cor

Hog Cholera and Its Treatment.

The great drawback to hog raising
in the South is cholera and it be-
hOOves every farmer that keeps hogs
to know some effective remedy and
keep it on hand so that he can treat
promptly the diseased the very
moment it appears among his stock
The very best cared fer stock are
subject to the disease at times III d
under certain a atmospheric conditions
and just as soon as a farm-r hears
of case in his neig hbor hood he
should inaugurate certain prnven-
tive treatment which in all proba-
bility, will prevent serious loss.
The following formula is given out
by the department of agriculture
and is endorsed as etficacious by
those who have tried it, 1t will be
well to cut it out and paste it where
it will be handy in case of need

This Bacillus Business Has Spread So as
to Make Us All Little Nervous.
OF Campbell's lives Of the lord chan
cellors, in the succession of which there
was possibility that he might himself
appear, Lord Brougham said that it had
added new terror to death. Life has
been SO stuffed with new terrors by the
bacteriologist that there is hardly room
for another, and beside him the most
prolix and prosaic historian and biog-
rapher becomes an innocent and harm
less figure indeed. There is hardly any
physiological or moral condition which
is not now fitted with it's bacillus, the
proportion and structure of that micro
scopic reptile being given with diabol-
ical accuracy and verisimilitude. 1t
would really be relief not to know
quite SO much of the minute organi-
cations which accompany morbid path
illogical states if there were any way
Of escaping it. The doctors have to
know, of course, but the knowledge
might be confined to them, as the sacer-
dotal mysteries used to be to the priest
hood. 1t would save no end of popular
anxiety and alarm. With every symp-
tom the patient is now assured that he
is assa1led by new and ylrulent micro
coccus. and the constantly published re-
searches OF the microscopes tend to iu-
flame his imagination and increase his
alarm
Here is an Italian bacteriologist who
says he has discovered the bacillus of
old age, and when he has found out the
right sort of salt to put OH its tail its
ravages will be at an end, and old age,
as a condition, will pass away, subsist-
ing only as a theory or remote retro
spect. He has not yet disclosed the
structural outlines of this curious reptil-
ian debutante, and it may be only an
after dinner vision, to which science
will deny recognized place, leaving
old age, as it was before, an incurable
condition, with an invariably progress
i've tendency, in no need Of bacteria to
accelerate it.-New York Tribune

Spring Table Decorations.
Richmond Dispatch.

Richmond Dispatch.
A fiat has gone forth in the matter
of table decorations. Pure Puritan
simplicity is the mode. OF course,
with this new departure, the Fl iss
should be of fiaWless briIliancy, the
china having the hand and conven-
tional centre decoration; the napery
soft, yet heavy, with broad, hem
stitched hem, it's only ornamentation
being a strong lace of good depth, so
as to fall below the edge of the table.
AS for emhroideries, the crest or
monogram finds in each corner an
excellent place. Around it is a
wreath OF buds, q spray of blossoms,
or a pretty conventionalized bow
knot. Even the adjustment of the
table napkins is no longer fanciful
They are set in dignified angles at
each ,ver, folded square, the mono
gram presenting its artistic front as
the ONLY recommendations.
The set piece" or center device of
flowers has disappeared, and as it's
substitute is the Bohemian glass
bowl in vague, spring-like tints. In
this may be placed a loose bunch OF
flowers, which can be at either centre
or side. as taste dictates.
Small bouquets are no longer in
fashion A single rose, with long
stem and rich foliage, is sufficient.

magnit uhe. are sometimes the only

d-nce now abovea all others, although
Dresden china is still in vogue. For
shades there are dainty silks in
shadow efferts, embroidered screens
Of white and gold, az those done by
the Turkish women, but all in com
plimentary effects to make a charm
ing ensemble. Simplicity in every
detail is the one object sought b. al
