HARD ON THE PURSE,
Trimmings for Gowns Nowadays Cost
Pretty Penny.

Trimmings for Gowns Nowadays Cost q
Pretty Penny.
One can hardly tell from the looks of
trimming, these days, how much 1t is
going to cost, but II nine cases out of
ten it is safe to g<.ess that if it is at
tractive it is expensive. In many cases
the trimming costs more than a whole
dress ought to. Feather trimming,
combined with fur and jet, comes as
high as eight dollars yard, and sells,
too, yet we are told that such trimming
is made of the odds and ends of ;ac-
tory, swept up by the thrifty makers.
Even though this sounds almost too
big to be true, it is pleasant to believe
such things about desirable accessories
that are unattainable. In trimmings
that glitter, jewels are at discount;
all that is wanted is sparkle, and SPAN
giles and rhinestones glow almost as
warmly as do gems, and at a lot less
money, though not as much less as one
might expect. Even in jewelry, mag
nificcnt pieces are made of rhinestones
arranged in such choice design and set
in gold that few can tell whether the
jewels are real or not. The brilliahcy
of the properly-cut rhinestone rivals
that of gem, and there is left nothing
but the exercise of good taste in the Sc
lection of design and color to differ
entiate the wearer of cultivation from
the tawdry user of cheap brilliants. In
trimmings the imitation gem sails
under false colors to a less extent, for
therein real gems are not expected

Take candied pineapple, cut into
cubes and dip it in fondant once or
twice, as may be necessary, cover well,
then harden. Still another is to cut the
pineapple in pieces pointed at one end
in fondant, leaving the other end un-
covered. Cream cherries are candied
cherries used in the same way as
the pineapple. Do not use a whole
cherry for the top of the candy, as a
half or even a quarter is enough. Stuffed
cherries are made by taking candied
cherries and cutting them so that there
will be four or eight points to stick up;
fill the inside of each cherry quite full
of fondant SO that the points will lie
against the fondant, thus making
pretty candy which will look like a
flower. To make pecan creams, take
a ball of fondant, favor to taste, dip in
melted fondant and lay a pecan nut
meat on top and let it harden. Cream
almonds, same as pecan creams. AL
monds may be dipped in melted fondant
if desired. English walnuts may be
used in the same way. To make rasp-
berry creams. add to a desertspoonful
of raspberry jam enough XXXN or con-
fectioners' powdered sugar to make a
paste; if not acid enough to taste like
the fruit add a speck of tartaric acid.

of red coloring; dip the balls twice if

Small Farmers.

We End this is phrase which is dis
liked by many, but it is better to be a
good and successful small farmer than
an unthrifty and unsuccessful large
farmer. We often see business men
begin in a limited way and do well un-
til they get aspiring. No sooner have
they made a little money than they
spread out, buy larger stock of goods
partly or chiefly on credit. and indulge
in ''great expectations which fail of
realization. Many man can man
age a smaller business who gets out
of his depth when he tries to
conduct a larger one. Or, in the fluc-
tuations of trade, the times are not so
good. he can not sell the larger stock
he has got together; before times inn
prove many articles become unfashion-
able and go down in value and the is
sue is bankruptcy. In like manner,
many farmers who succeeded in small
way, go into this, that, and the other
thing until they get bigger burden on
their shoulders than they can carry.
They have saying out west about men
taking in more land than they can till,
which has passed into a proverb to
which there is a mighty moral. It is
rule everyone should observe, not to
take in more land than he can till, and
the farmer should obey this maxim in a
literal sense, not satisfying himself
with superficial of skim culture, but
thoroughly tilling every acre he puts
under the plow, or seeds down to grass.
"A little farm well titled,
little barn we'll filed
is motto worthy of being adopted by
many who are tempted to do greater
things than they have the capital or
zine.

them an output of 90 miles per day. The
demand for their goods has been so great
the past season, that in order to be able to
supply their trade, they have been COM
PEELED this year to double the capacity of
1894, which now gives them an output of 20
miles per day.

throughout the country fitting them
selves for nothing, and drifting around
from one odd job to another. On the
farms we have young and old men as
| ''hired help" who know practically
little about farming, except as they are
directed by the owner They COM
plain that the farmers give
small wages, but in nearly all
instances they give as much or
more than the men are worth.
The trouble is usually with the
helps" They are not skilled farmers
who could be trusted to do all the diff
ferent work of planting, cultivating
and harvest the crops as well as the
farmer himself
As an illustration Of the value ot
skilled men on the farms, one simply
has to turn to the immense dairy inter-
ests near large cities. It is the COM
paint OF many owners of large dairies
and creameries that they can not get
competent men to do the work for
them. They require good butter nj akers
and good dairy managers-1nen who are
skilled in the whole branch of modern
dairying. Such men can command
good wages and positions that would
make them Independent as long as the
dairy kept up. The dairy schools
are turning out many experienced
young men who will take charge of
creameries or dairies in the future, and
run them on paying basis, but mean
while could not thousands of the young
boys on our farms begin to fit them
selves for positions on the farms that
would pay them good wages until thew
could start into the business them
selves?
In talking with a wealthy manufac-
turer recently, who owns large farm
in the west, which he makes paw a
handsome interest on his money in
vested, he said: Il find the greatest
difficulty in getting experienced farm
ers on my place who understand
farming as it should be under
stood to-day. A great many of the ap-
pi1cants who answer my advertise
ments are either slovenly and wasteful
in their methods, old-fashioned in the
notions about farming methods, igno-
rant of the modern scientific farming,
or SO totally lacking in any business
principles that they coold not run
one-acre farm profitably. The young
men that apply are just as bad as the
old: they believe that farming is a los
ing business, and they prove it by their
methods
Here is text for a whole sermon. |
Farming pays those who have money |
to invest in the business, but it is hard |

Suggestions for Linen Embroidery

In carrying out a cut-work design
suitable for tray cloths, comfortable
mats, cake basket, or finger bowl dolly,
select fine linen. Run the forms of the
design closely with the linen thread,
and the cross threads should be caught
from the edge of the already run pat
tern until the next cross thread is
reached. Buttonhole the rim pattern
closely. Small circles may be made in
wheel form, as in lace work. After the
whole work is buttonholed, cut care
fully along the buttonholed edge under
the crossing lines, leaving the whole in
an open lace-like effect. One of the
best embroidery silks in the market is
called Aleppo rope silk. 1t is hand-spun
silk, made in Syria, in colors that will
not change. neither by washing nor by
exposure to the light. 1t comes in dull,
soft tones, peculiarly adapted to dec
orative work. and is very desirable for
embroidered linen, requiring frequent
washing.-Chicago Tribune.

HERE AND THERE.

The impression is gaining that no
other plant will yield more fodder to
the acre or give food which can be fed
with more satisfaction to the stock
than sorghum. 1t is good with the seed
on for fattening horses, cattle, sheep
or hogs.
Now that the winter season is here
and the conditions of many of our COM
mon roads renders traffic impossible,
the consideration of road improvements
might well occupy the minds of every
inhabitant of the country who owns
an acre of land.
There is a continual advance in the
nature of methods which might be
made available for general use, but the
actual appropriation of these methods
to their own personal use by farmers
in general is matter of slow growth
1t is well to be conservative, but wrong
to be old fogyish.
Two things necessary to the best
development of the hog are plenty of
exercise and plenty of green feed.
These are as important to their health
as to their growth. Dry feed and close
confinement will take all the vigor out
of hog. and. even if he becomes fat, it
is an unhealthy development.
One secret of successful farming
lies in the ready anticipation of what
each seasons work is to demand of the
farmer, and it is in the doing of many
things out of season. as some short
sighted people would look at it. Try
to transfer a part of the spring work
to the fall and winter months.
The leaving of calves and young
cattle out in the field until snow flies
is neither humane nor profita BILE. 1t
pays to get all the live stock into win
ter quarters before the weather be-
comes cold. but this applies more espe-
cially to young animals; but the wise
farmer gives it a general application.
Good roads and good fences are
proofs indubitable of prosperity. and
nothing so increases or maintains thu
value of real estate. It is almost to be
wondered at that the farmer will ever
want to be compelled to take this step
"a step which win often increase the
value of his swampy acres hundred
fold.
Every bushe1 of grain unneces
sarilv fed to stock, whether it be to fat
ten or to carry through the winter in
good shape, is wasted, and whenever
fodder crops can be used as feed for the
animals it should he done, as the grain
can be otherwise disposed of, and an
increase made to the returns from the
farm.

MENTAL. PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE

Woman's strength is about two
thirds that of man, while her height il
as 16 to II and her weight as nine to ten.
Woman's lung capacity is in proper
ton to her size much less than mans
The pulse beat is from eight to ten faster
than in man.
Woman are more alike than men and
more normal. Most geniuses are of the
male sex. Woman is naturally con-
servative, while man explores new
fields.
In perception woman is decidedly
quicker than man. She grasps writ
ten paragraph in much less time than
does he. Her perception of details
however, is less accurate than is mans.
Among all civilized races woman is
both shorter and lighter than man.
Her form is more rounded and graceful,
less bony and angular, having relative
ly less fat and more muscle.
Woman's head is carried less upright
than mans. The greater length of the
first finger as compared to the third is
a feminine popularity. The vocal cords
in woman are shorter and the voice
higher and shriller.
In respect to memory woman are
superior. In slow, logical reasoning
they are deficient. The arts, science
and philosophy owe their advancement
more to men than to women. What
woman loses in profundity she gains in
quickness. In languages she is more
apt than man.
Differences in habits of thought be-
tween the two sexes is shown by the
fact that if so men and so women were
required to write 100 words as rapidly
as possible without time for thought, in
the woman's list will be found more
words relating to the concrete than the
abstract, the whole rather than the
part, the particular rather than the
general.

ly recommended remedies without ex-
periencing the slightest benefit. Last fall

and I was able to eat rayenously. Ishould
also have said that when began taking the
Pink Pills my legs had become as seemed to
me like wooden legs, and my body was fast
becoming in the same condition. The use
of two boxes OF Pink Pills, however, drove
all trouble away and / regard them as won

Miss G. E. Lewis, No 1928 N St, north
west, one OF the teachers in Miss Paynes
School of Cookery, says: "Dr. Williams
Medicine Company's Pink Pills have been
OF great benefit to my health. am very
much averse to talking for publication, but
feel that ought to testify briefly to the

down. I tried various remedies but none
of them did me any good. Last summer
while in Delaware was told of some Won
derful cures that had been effected by means
of the Pink Pills and bought box. They
helped me wonderfully after taking them
for the past few weeks. I have been en-
tirely cured of what was severe and pro-

DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
