Do you know that-the sight of your face,
Though | see you eanh of the seven,
Can transfgure the secn9monest place
Into sen1ethir q tllat. seems to be Heaven
DO you know that the sound of your voice,
When you utter brief salutation,
Bids the starssef the morning rejoice &
AS they did title dawn of creation?
Do you know that the clasp of your hand,
In purely conventional greeting, Ia 4
Makes this earth Il mysterious land sSs
Where the fairies are holding meeting
DO you know that the ways YOU pass by,g e.
When the stream of the traffic is flowing,
Are like the ladders which lead to the sky,
Whereon angels are coming and going?
DO ycu know that your yea or your nay
Lays its clasp on my soul like fetter?
Whilst regarding myself can say 80 :
That know tEat ought to know better.

wear that were brought out at the be-
ginning of the session the tulle bow and
the fichu were perhaps the most cop-
spicuous. The tulle. bow, however, is
already doomed. Paris has frowned
upon it and it is no longer the mark of
fashion. The fichu, however, has held
its own. Every well-dressed woman
has the greater number of her summer
frocks embellished by this graceful ad-
dition, and the woman who is more
tasteful than rich has long ago devised
the scheme of making one fiehu do fora
variety OF frocks. The best fiehu for all
round use is of white dotted silk. It
should be trimmed with full ruff1e
either of wide lace Or of the net edge,
with narrow yellow lace. 80
The deep sailor collar of cambric, lace,
embroidery, or grass lawn is still in
vogue. The grass lawn affairs are not
as dressy, but give pretty touch to
summer costumes when fastened on by
gold pins or buttons. A dark India
silk needs hardly any other decoration
than yoke or collar of white French
embroidery Or of heavy yellow lace.
In spite of-the profusion of lace and
ribbon, however, which is SO important
a feature of the correct summer ward
robe, the severe linen collar is as much
worn as ever. Linen collars three inches
high are made to alternate with plast-
rons Of bewildering elaboration, and
the always admirable tailor-made cos
tune is no less in demand than The
dainty fabrication of lawn and chiffon.

THE FARMING WORLD.
DAIRY STATISTICS.
Ehe Percentage OF Butter Made on Farms
and in En cknr7as

Hhe Percentage OF Butter Made ON Farms
and in Factories. 81
The idea is generally prevalent that
the amount of butter which has Of late
years been made by individual dairy
men was Insignificant as compared
with the output. of creameries and butt
ter factories, but figures given in Sta
dstics Of the Dairy" by Henry g. Al
vord, chief of the dairy division, shows
this belief to have had no foundation
IN fact, up to 1890.
While theincrease in population frora
1850 to 1890 was about ITO per cent, the
production of butter for the census
year of 1890 exceeded that of 1850 by
es4 per cent. This increase was not
uniform with either population or butter
production, but quite the contrary, as
may be seen by the following figures:

Is not the public entitled TO some assur-
