JACKETS FOR SPRING.

II money is no object to the woman
who is planning her spring wardrobe,
let her take $35 and order her jacket
from the tailor. For that price she
may have a made-to-order coat of tan
covert cloth lined with taffeta silk, cor
rect as to sleeves, revers and buttons.
If money is an object she may purchase
a very presentable imitation of the
made-to-order coat for $12 or SIS.
Tan coats this spring are much more
In favor than gray ones. Gray is used
only when the coat is part of the suit.
They are made rather short, with loose
fronts fastening invisibly under flap,
with tight-fitting backs, small reyers
and sleeves, much more moderate. in
size than those to which the public has
become accustomed.
Black coats are also to be worn this
spring. They are short and are tight
fitting in the back, with either loose
fronts or revers turned back from the
waist.
Narrow belts, which slip through the
side seams and fasten under the revers,
are worn with the latter. Young per-
sons who do not fear to call attention to
the size of their waists wear narrow
bands of gilt or silver for belts, but
quiet tastes prefer black silk, satin
leather, or even serge.

Seals Of Wyoming and Utah.

The States of Wyoming and Utah
have recently had their seals made,
and are now affixing them to all pub
lie documents emanating from the
Governor or Secretary of State. That
OF Wyoming represents q pedestal
showing on the front an eagle resting
upon shield. Upon the shield are
engraved star and the figures GA"
being. the number of Wyoming in thu
order OF admission to Statehood.
Standing upon the pedestal is the
draped figure OF q woman modelled af-
ter the statue of the Victory" OF the
Paris Louvre, from whose wrists hang
the links of a broken chain. In the
right hand she holds staff from
which floats banner bearing the words
equal Rights" This suggests the
political position of woman in this
State. On either side of the pedestal.
standing at It's base, are figures typi.
flying the live stock and mining indus
tries of Wyoming. Behind the pedes-
tails, and in the background are two
pillars, each supporting q lighted
lamp, signifying the light of knowl-
edge. Around the pillars supporting
these lamps are scrolls bearing the
words olive Stock" 'Grain,
"Mines" and coil" At the base OF
the pedestal in front are the figures
1882" $780," the former signify
ing the organization of the Territory
of Wyoming, and the latter the date
of its admission to Statehood.
The seal of the State of Utah is well

The word "Industry" is emblazonea

Island. on the Georgia side. With the
aid of good pair of marine glasses
the tower can be described as built OF
stone and apparently hoary with age.
Indeed, the native Georgian has no
greater pleasure than to pour into the
astonished ears of Northerners the
tale that it was erected by the Spanish
about the same time as the structure
OF st. Augustine. But the hard and
rather uppoetic facts OF the case are
that the United States Government
built the place as defense against
the British in 1912, tome eighty-four
years ago.
1t is termed, in. military parlance,
Martello tower. being copied from
similar defenses erected along the
English coasts when Napoleon was
threatening to invade Britain. The
tower saw some little active service in
the Civil War. but, of course. was even
then not more dangerous or stronger
than stone dwelling.
At present it is used as reporting
and signal station, and during the
bathing season it is favorlte visiting
place for the guests of the fashionable
hotels at Tybee Beach. the noted
Southern seaside resort. There are
few objects on our coasts more strik-
ing and picturesque than the tower at
Tybee, and it only. lacks a few legends
OF Spanish possessions, sieges, etc., to
make it famous.

IMPROVED ONION CULTURE.

The usual method of TRANSFORMING
onions by hand and dibble is hard ana
tedious work. Often onion plants are
set too deep in this way by the ineAper-
fenced. and the bulbs do not so readily
form underground. During the nrst
two years in my work with onions
have tested method of transplanting
young onion plants with common
turning plow, and found the method to
work well. A furrow is opened with
the pillow, and the young onion plants
are laid along on the straight
side of the furrow, and then
soil is thrown back on the roots with
the same plow. After the earth is
thrown on the roots it should be press
ed with the foot by walking upon it, or
n small roller may be used for the same
purpose. In this way all the work
NAV be done without bending the back
except in dropping the young plants.
Small boys may be employed for this
work. and the setting of an acre can be
done at a cost of $3.50.
In starting onions early at the
north. Mr.. C. l.. Hill writes to Amerl-
can Agriculturist: With varieties
which require a long season for their
full development, an early start in the
spring is necessary. / plant the seed
under glass in hotbeds, early enough to
have plants of good size by the time the
ground can be put in condition for set
ting out. The transplanting is some
thing of job, and yet it is scarcely
more than would be the task of the
first wedding that has to be done when
the seeds are sown directly in the field.
There is also great gain in having
well-llled rows of plants evenly dis
tributed. Even if the seeding should
be faultless, some seeds viii fail to
come up, and the rows will be mJ.'e or
less uneven But the transplanting
plan gives such even rows Of fine plants

A Lizard That Dances.

One of the interesting little animals
that live in far-away Australia is the
dancing lizard. This curious chap is
about three feet in length and wears
pretty collar made for him by Mother
Nature. This collar is OF bright red,
yellow and blue mixture and is big and
full of frills. He gets his name from
his collar and is called the frilled
lizard. He's not q bit pretty and he
has way of jumping around that
gives one q peculiar fright if one hap
pens upon him suddenly. Although
this frilled chap has four legs. he
seems to like walking and dancing on
his hind legs better than travelling on
all fours. He's as quick as lightning
in his movements, and lives on the
insects that inhabit the trees OF the
thick woods. He could become
dancing master if he was bigger and
would conduct himself with greater
ease. We can forgive the frilled lizard
almost any of his pranks, but We cant
forgive him his long name, which is
chlamydosaurus kingi. Now, what 90
you think of that?

Provisioning New York.

"Feeding City Like New York."
an article by John Gilmer Speed in
July Ladies' Home Journal, presents
some interesting and astonishing sta
tistics. For instance, Mr.. Speed de-
clares that New Workers consume 3d..
600, 900 dozen eggs per year, for which
they pay S14, 400, 900; 900. 800 pounds
of butter per day, costing $lS. 200, 900

for which $40, 900, 900 per year is
paid, the aggregate value OF the dairy
products consumed in New York City
is S44, 45O, 900. Mr.. Speed fixes the
valuation of the meats Of various kinds
sold to New Workers. each year at
about S58. 100000. This does not in
clude poultry, from 100000 to 400.
coo head of which are sold weekly.
Upon conservative estimate Mr.. Speed
places the quantity of fish consumed
yearly in New York at 45,00J, 900
pounds. not including oysters, clans,
crabs and other she'll fish. There are
"a, 600 bushels of potatoes sold in New
York daily, the yield OF a 80, O00-acre
farm per year, the aggregate value of
the tnbers being $13,000,000. Other
vegetables are consumed in like pro-
portions. There are 10000 bushels
of wheat flour eaten every week, be-
sides large quantities of oatmeal, buck
wheat -four and cornmeal. The guam
titles of provender always on hand
(the perishable goods being kept in
cold storage warehouses) leads Mr..
Speed to conclude that we're New York

her food supplies are drawn, her peo-
pie could live in plenty for four

RENEWING Old DRESSES.

Whether they will succeed or not is
hard to say, but the ccstumers will
make strenuous efforts to introduce
trimming on the new skirts. A few
Partisan skirts have gored panels with
trimming running up and down beside
them. This is an advantage in remod-
cling an old dress. Two skirts that har-
monize may be put together by this
means. There is no end to the variety
of passementerie and jeweled trimming
that can be had to give the refurnished

REVIVAL OF SASHES.

The popularity of the ribbon has
brought about the revival of the sash.
The summer girl will wear sashes on as
many occasions as possible. 1t is hint
ed that even the new woman will look
upon the sash with favor. The sash OF
the coming summer is not like the one
worn few years ago. In place of the
long loops the ribbon is tied in pert
butterfly bow. 1t stands up, instead OF
dropping down. The ends, however,
are equally as long. They reach close
to the bottom of the skirt. The front
of the new sash is shaped like a girdle,
giving the waist more slender ap-
pearance than if the ribbon were mere
" wound about it.

Referring to the tomato-treiiis re-
Gently described, would say that for
several seasons l have used wire net
ting In my garden for training toma-
toes In preference to stakes and strings.
Netting three feet wide, securely tack
ed to strong stakes set at intervals OF
three and half or four feet apart, was
formerly used, but greater width is de-
sirable. This forms perpendicular
trellis about four feet high, as the wire
should be placed ten or twelve inches
from the ground. Stakes two by four
inches are heavy enough II braced, the
first season, although have used three
inch hard-haek fence-posts. A light
strip of wood may be run across the top
for staying the upper end OF the wire,
but this is. not essential unless heavy
blankets are to be used for protection
against light frosts in autumn. RAMA,
once used for tying the vines to the
wire, will never be superseded by
strings. 1t is always soft, pliabie and
strong, never stretching in wet weather
or slipping IL properly tied.
This method of training tomatoes add
mits air on all sides, and does not In
terrupt the suns rays. The fruit rip
ems evenly. is easily picked and readily
protected on cold nights.
An ideal trellis of this sort was de-
veloped in neighbours garden the
past season. Ten-foot stakes and net
ting two fet wide were used. But the
growth Of the Ponderosa is phenome-
nal, and two other strips OF netting
were added, with space of few
inches between them. The result was a
handsome screen fully eight fet high,
thickfy decorated with crimson fruits.
The aspirations OF the vines, however,
were unsatisfed, and foot more Of
netting would have been covered. The
expense of such an arrangement is
light, and the profit and pleasure aris-
ing from clean, well-ripened fruit are
satisfactory in every way.

How an Antelope Kills a Ratllesnake.

One of the worst foes the rattle
snake ever had on the Western prairies
was the antelope. This wary animal,
allied to the deer species, is extremely
timid and so afraid of man that only
the best hunters could ever bag one.
But they had no fear of the RATHER,
and when one of the reptiles was en-
countered it was speedily dispatched.
The method of the antelope in
making war on the serpent was unique
and heroic. The antelope walked
around the snake few times awaiting
a favorable opportunity. When it
came there was quick bound and the
sharp hoofs of the antelope came
down with deadly effect on the body
of the snake. With movements as
rapid as thought the antelope jumped
out OF danger only to spring back on
its victim again and again until the
body of the snake was cut into mince-
meat.
Old hunters say that it was rarely
that an antelope was bitten in such an
encounter with q RATHER, and the
snake was always killed unless it found
