Bayonaise and canvas cloths are also new
| and will both be useful. The canvas cloth
resembles English bunting as the mist re-
sembles the rain. 1t is susceptible to al
most any kind of trimming
There was very dainty dress in one
place of gobelin blue poplin, with palm
leaf designs in faded pinks, green's reds
and yellows scattered over it not too close
ly. The skirt was entirely plain, save for
piping of indigo silk down each front
seam. The basque was very natty affair.
The upper portion was short, the front
points reaching scarcely an inch below the
waist line, and it was cut away V shaped
in front Beneath the bottom and down
the front there were gathers of the indigo
silk in form of a gathered vest and a
basque frilI. At the neck there was
small, simulated yoke. with a frill Of lace
falling at each side from the gathered lace
stock. The sleeves were gigot, with lace
frills.
There was another odd fancy in figured
poplin The color was solferino red, with
irregulax little green spots over it. The
skirt had a band of bias plaid in green,
spruce dark red and white all around.
The belt was of green silk. The waist was
a plain blouse, with bias plaid vest front
and collar. This was again slashed for
bit of lace. The sleeves had puffs and fore
arms OF the bias plaid. 1t wasn't an ugly
gown at all, only just odd. -
Among the most stylish of the new
wraps and outdoor garments I found a
drab cloth redingote and a novel short
Jacket The redingote is for bride who
Is going abroad. The seams are all strap
ped and stitched, and there is row of
stitching all around the bottom and up
the front. The redingote Is made to fit the
figure by darts strap stitched, with pock-
cts set in at the lower ends. 1t closes with
three immense buttons. a cunning little
watch pocket adds to the general appear
ance. The sleeves ample gigots and
have four rows of stitching done in brown
silk. The sailor collar is sprung in the
back slightly and notohed In the front and
faced with seal brown velvet. In the back
it is princess shape, with heavy folds at
the back seams. The jacket is of striped
cheviot gray and light brown. The sailor
collar Is Of wood brown ribbed yelutina
and is edged with heavy soutache in seal
brown set on In triple loops. The same
trimming Is on the sleeves. The open col
lar allows the dress to be seen and the
wearer to have a full ruff OF pink silk
muslin.
Among the new cotton goods there is a
printed piQue. The howerets are so dainty
and the coloring so perfect IN these goods
that it is no wonder that the ladies who
bought lavishly of the delicate mulls and
muslins, the batistes, grasscloths and or
CANDIES now feel that they must positively
have a printed pique, and besides pique is,
as every one knows, so very solid and serv-
iceable. The white with the pretty Dolly
Warden patterns are really exquisite.

while the rest was of the Grape. They
formed haring cuffs at the wrists, edged
with the notched Grape
A gown for the street for young lady
was Of superb eudora cloth. There was a
lat band Of Grape 5 inches deep around
the bottom 20 the front breadth. This was
laid in three separate panels, with fold Of
eudora between. The waist was in shape
of short basque, open in front TO show a
blouse shaped vest of Grape. There were
folds Of GRAPE, fanked by folds of eudora
down the fronts in form Of revers, and a
sll'.il sailor collar OF Grape. The collar
was not nigh, but was covered with Grape
and had large bow at the throat. The
gigot sleeves were of Grape, with a chate-
laine flare at the wrists. The basque was
very faring in the back and stifened with
haircloth.
Black undressed gloves with buttons or
laces or mousquetaire shape are the pres
ent style for mourning. Handkerchiefs
are Of several styles, so that one has a
choice. Some have inch wide borders some
very narrow black borders, and others have
narrow line of black and white embroid-
cry just above the hem.
l saw few short capes for spring that
were almost entirely covered with Grape
showing scarcely any of the foundation.
One walking coat made by Worth was a
the back there were many plssite Of Grape,
set TO a yoke and widening out toward the
bottom. In the front there vas one wide
double box plat made very fiat, and from
under this were two large reyers. All the
rest was of fine brocaded silk and wool
stuff. There was a medici collar of the
Grape, and all around it's edge was a mar
row box plating of Grape.
Among the newest goods we find her
mani in escurial lace pattern and also
beaded. Hermann is sort of lace like gren-
adine. When the thick thread which is
found on all esourial lace is wrought in
with the pattern, it makes very sumptu-
Gus fabric for a thin one. Those that are
beaded are rather more snowy, but not so
rich. Some of the hernanis are woven of
silk and wool in lacelike designs, and
some have crepon weaves. There are Gre
pOns in many new designs, and they look
very tempting in the piece, but unless ex-
pense is of no consequence one had better
buy something else,sfor once they are wet
or even exposed to damp they are spoiled
past redemption. There are some very
pretty French poplins, but they also are of
the order of things ephemeral. The new
mohairs, however, are all one could desire
for useful gowns. They have a bright,
cheerful appearance, and are something
not too bright or good for human natures
daily food In the class with mohairs are
the sioiliennes and brilliantines. They are
excellent for wear and appearance and not
too costly.
Some of the French poplins are figured
in palm leaf and other oriental patterns in
the colors SO well known as those masters
blend them, thrown over ground of some
pretty tint or color. Mastic or putty, cedar
wood and spruce gum color, as we'll as
that faint, hazy gobelin blue, all are favor
ties, but then so are grays, drab and fawn,
and they all make artistic backgrounds

THE FARMING WORLD.
USE OF oERMIcrDEs.

In Certain Conditions Their Use Is POSI-
lively Dangerous
The method of adding something to
the cream that will destroy the bacteria
or prevent their growth, no matter how
warm the weather or how distant the
market, appeals to the dealer on account
of its cheapness, simplicity and effec-
tlveness. Cream in which sufficient
quantity of boric acid or salicylic acid
has been introduced, for these are sub
stances generally used preservatives
OF cream. will remain perfectly sweet
for an indefinite time even in the hot
test summer temperature These chem
icals produce no decided change in the
taste or appearance of the cream, and
it is no wonder that this method has
sometimes been adopted by those who
have seen in it n solution of the only
difficulty in the way of extending lu-
crative cream trade. What, then, are
the objections to this method? The
first and the very decided objection that
will occur to the consumer is, that
when paying for sweet and wholesome
cream he does not want it diluted with
any thing else. In view of the compare
lively small quantity of the preserva-
tive that has to be used, this OBJ lection
might be overcome by. an appeal to the
reason of the consumer, if he did not
| have reason well prejudice on his
| side. If it could be shown that the pre-
sentative was as harmless the cream
itself there would, perhaps, be no rea-
| sonable objection to it, but the best that
can be claimed for these chemical pre-
servatives is, that while they are sure
death to bacteria, they also endanger
the health and derange the digestive
apparatus of human beings. Among
those qualified to judge of the effect of
these substances when taken into the
stomach of human beings there is
practically but one opinion, and that
| is, that the constant consumption of
| them is harmful even if taken in small
| quantities. In certain cases where per-
sons are suffering from disease of the
digestive organisms the use of cream
preserved by this method is positively

New Way to XIII Weeds.

While on his recent western tour.
Chauncey NJ. Depew was shown an cleo
trio weed killer in operation, the sue
cess of which means much in sparsely
settled sections of the country. An or
binary fiat car is equipped with metal
brushes, which extend out over each
side of the car. Their height is regu-
lated so that they will brush the tops
of the weeds, which in the western and
southern states overreach upon the
company's right of way, as the car
dashes along ut express speed. A dyna-
mo on the car, run while the train is in
motion, is connected with the metallic
brushes, which receive the full force
of the current, which is communicated
to the weeds, passing through them to
the ground, with the result that the
weeds are instantly shriveled up.

A Word About Grocery Butter.

Every man takes good, sweet butter
to market. Gle thinks he does.) He
knows he does, because his groceryman
tells him 50, and he puts it in the box
with all of ths good butter, and his wife
made it; how could it be otherwise. But
he has to take a low price for it. there
was SO much of the same quality on the
market, so they do not try to make it SO
good the next week, for it did not pay
to work so hard for so little money.
If grocerymen could be little more
particular in testing the butter they
buy, and take nothing but good, poor
butter would be very scarce, as there
would be no place for it. But Just as
long as there is a place where it can be
sold at all, it will be made, and lots of
it, too.-Farmers' Review.

Trimming Out Garden Crops.

Few practices are more profitable
than thinning out garden crops If the
knowledge of the proper sowing of
seeds was more widely prevalent no
thinning would be needed, but so many
persons sow the seeds fearing that
numbers will fail to grow, and there
fore many more seeds are used than is
necessary. But sometimes all these
superfuous seeds grow, in which case
it is desirable that they should be
thinned- Not only do the vegetable
plants grow larger under these circuna-
stances, but in many cases they come
caxlier into use.-Rnral World.

MAKE IT AN ISSUE.

County Politics.

The Bad Roads Question In Township ana
County Politics.
Discussing the bad roads question in
the light of a local campaign issue, the
Los Angeles (Cal) Times makes the
pertinent question:
'By way of a starter in this matter,
how would it do this fall to make can
didates for supervisors take a cast-iron
pledge to favor comprehensive system
of road improvement that will put an
end to the present eXtravagant method
of tinkering roads, and give us the be-
ginning of a first-class system of pub
lie highways? Our present method, or
rather lack of method, of constructing
roads is extravaganza and ridiculous, and
would have excited the derision of those
early road builders 1000 yeaEs or more
ago, whose work still remains in good
preservation on the continent of Eu-
rope The American idea of country
road appears to be to level off the soil,
and wherever there is hole filling it
with loose dirt-and then filling it
again. 1t needs as much science to con-
struct a first-class road that will last as
it does to put up building. yet it is
tai en- for granted that the first man you
meet on the street can build a road.
Consequently it is no wonder that the
roads of this country cost every five
years almost as much as the courthouse,
and then we have nothing to show for
it,

THE ROAD MOVEMENT.

Bicyclists Should Tax Themselves WILL
ingly to Inaugurate It.
That the good roads" plank sug-
gested by the League of American
Wheelmen was not Incorporated in the
st. Louis platform was not due to any
lack of interest in the good roads move
rncnt. 1t is not probable that a plank
of this kind will be incorporated in the
platform adopted at any national con-
yention.
A more direct way to accomplish
practical work in this direction is to go
before the various state legislatures
with carefully matured plans for in
stituting system of road building that
will commend itself to the country law
makers and secure favorable action.
A tax of one dollar per year upon
each wheel would yield nearly $500, 700
in Chicago alone and would be opposed
by very few wheelmen if it were applied
directly to roadmaking. This is merely
one of the numerous plans suggested
for inaugurating the increment in Hi
nois- A dollar a wheel would build
more highways than 1000 good roads

LARGER PEACHES.
Thinning Out by Hand Is the Best Way
to Produce Them.

to Produce Them.
Mr.. ]. H Hale, one of the greatest
peach growers in the United States, in
speaking of the manner in which he
makes success of the business, is re-
ported as saying that one must thin by
hand. He puts stepladders under the
trees and puts boys on them whose
bump of destructiveness is large and
tells them to go ahead. He begins when
the peaches are three-quarters of an
inch in diameter and takes everything
that is curculio-stung and diseased.
These he carts away and burns. The
rest that are taken off are dropped ON
the ground and left there.
In future, he says, three or four-year-
old peach trees shall not bear over $50
peaches; four or five-year-old trees not
over 300, and full-grown trees not over
500. That means six inches apart; 500
peaches on a tree will make six or eight
baskets of fancy fruit. Three thousand
peaches to tree won't make more or
sell for more money, and the trees are
ruined.
Peach trees are planted on good or
binary corn or wheat land in a fair state
of fertility. The holes for the trees are
dug about twice as large as necessary to
receive the roots and a big handful OF
fine ground bone is scattered at the bot
tom of the hole and two or three more
on the dirt, and that is worked in
around the roots at the time the tree
is planted. Then is put on muriate OF
potash. The next year is broadcasted
from 1000 to 1,50o pounds per acre OF
fine ground bone and from 400 to 500
pounds of muriate of potash or its
equivalent, and this is kept up every
year whether the trees bear or not.
''It is pretty liberal feeding, but it pays
to be liberal with trees" says Mr.. Hale.

Hogs on a Dairy Farm.

The Indiana Farmer says: "a gentle
man who grows and fattens rs to 100
hogs in connection with his creamery,
says that in this way he utilities all the
product, except the butter, and makes
dhe business pay him largely. He never
has any hog cholera, for he keeps every
thing clean in connection with his pig
feeding. and the milk with bran and
meal makes a succuient ration that
keeps the pigs very free from feverish
,-onditions, and therefore very healthy.
The milk and buttermilk with the bran,
meal. ETC., makes them grow rapidly,
and at eight months he has 175-pound
pigs to put on the market He says by
combining the two branches of bust
mess he finds it very profitable"

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Always strain the milk as soon as it
is drawn.
Churning at too high a temperature.
or too long, will produce greasy butter,
in which the grain is injured
1t is the attention paid to seemingly
insignificant things in dairying that
make or mar the profits.
Large cows need more feed than
smaller ones, and a COW in the flush of
milk needs more than when dry.
II you fear notifies in butter never
ship it until it has been tested Work
out the streaks if any are in it.
1t is essential in dairying that the
food of the cows be uniform, and the
supply should be arranged to have il
so.-Rural World.

THEY GO TOGETHER.

R4tter Roads and Wider Tires Are Needed
Everywhere.
Farmers have more reason TO agitate
even excepting bicyclers. Good roads
to the former mean economy in reach
ing markets; often better markets, be-
cause they could be reached at the
right time; advantages of social life
i'm the winter and early spring; saving
in time and in the wear and breakage of
wheeled vehicles, and a general adj
vance in all that pertains to a higher
state of civilization.
2Iicyclers are doing much TO pro-
rnoSe good roads. Now is the time for
our farmers to make a positive move
i'm cooperation with them.
One improvement must go along with
that of better construction and drain
age OF the roads. The wheels of all
vehicles should have wider tires. In
France the width of tire is from three
to ten inches, with the bulk of four
Srheelers six inches. In Germany every
wagon for heavy loads must have at
least a four-inch tire; Austria requires
a tire of Az inches wide; Switzerlad
requires all draft wagons to have :,
Six-inch tire. If we were to build good
roads our wagons, as now constructed,
would speedily destroy them. They
are road-destroyers as certainly as if
built for the purpose. Go on and build
the roads, and begin at once to reform
the wagon wheels.-Western Rural.

PROFITS OF DAIRYINo.

whv Butter Makers Should Study the
Tastes of Their Customers.
The pleasant feature about dairying
is the profit. If the profit is not found,
there is no pleasure in the work. This
is a general law, but it applies with a
special force to dairying, because profit
able dairying is a fine art, and success
is won by strict attention to business.
The man who looks upon a COW as a
necessary evil, can never be decided
success as dairyman, any more than a
slovenIy farmer can make success at
farming. The price received for butter
depends chiefly upon the taste of the
consumer. The intelligent butter maker
studies the tastes of these people who
are willing to pay we'll for what suits
them, and then he learns how to make
that kind of butter. 1t is the only way
he can get their money. 1t Is not the
expense of manufacture that fixes the
price, says a writer. The consumer
cares not that the butter perhaps cost
untold labor on the part of some one
who churned and prepared it for mar
ket. If inferior, it sells for an inferior
price, regardless of the cost of produc-
ton, and if it is superior, it sells at top
prices, though made with ease and little
expense. And the beauty remains that
the cost of producing the best butter
need not be greater than that of pro-
ducing goods of a poorer quality; in
fact the bad article is generally made at
the greatest cost Ignorance is expen-
sive. I think it will make every one
who owns cows a better dairyman to sit
down and compare the prices of dairy
goods with other farm products. Ifyour
cheap grains can be converted into 20
and ascent butter and 10-cent cheese or
81 to s1.15 per 100 for milk, it will pay
better than selling the raw material
and robbing the farm of all the fer
ti;izing material that much of the land
+ already in need of.-Farmers' Voice.
