White Pctticoats For Light Dresses-Ac-
cordan Plated skirts For Summer.
Embroidered Grape in large weavcs is a
feature of one of the newest and most ex-
pcnsive of fashionable mourning costumes.
White lawn, cambria and muslin petit
coats are again in vogue for wear with
light muslin and nainsook gowns. Tho
best ones are those of what ia called UNI
brclla foTm-that is, with flaring double
or triple flounce about the foot. Lace and
embroidery form the adornment.
Accordion plated skirts will be worn
during the warm weather, but only in thin
and flexible materials.
White gloves are still the rule for dress
occasions. They may be of mode or glace

the goods of which they are composed and

When tailor made bodices are tight fit

or are to be worn over silk or cotton

pleasure, so the lining will be likely to be
seen, they are lined throughout with surah,
satin mervcilleux or silk serge. In this case
the seams of the outside and the seams of
the lining are sewed separately and pressed
open with warm iron, and the seams of
the lining are then sewcd against the seams
of the outside, thus making fair and

The lights should be placed in so that
they will point to south or east and

The partitions that separate the four
rooms from the feed room are intended
to be made mostly of wire netting or
lattice work. The nests are arranged
with the entire construction made in
feed room, with loop-hole from each
room leading into the alley that fronts
the nests, which allows the fowls of
each room to pass secretly into the
nests in the dark and still be in no way
connected with another set of nests.
The idea of making these nests in the
feed room is so hat the eggs can be
taken out without going into the ad-

in their nests without disturbing any OF

Wonderful Results from Pink Pills.
Mrs. John TooIey Relates a Remarkable
Story.
From the Democrat, Char,eUoir. Mich.

The Democrat has had its attention called
Williams Pink Pills, and the following
statement, made to a reporter of this paper,
will be read with interest by all similarly
afflicted. Mrs. John Tooley, of Dwight, in
this county, is the lady benefited by the
medicine named, and she makes the follow
ing statement:

Pink Pills have lone for me-"
(Signed.) Mrs. John Tooley.
Sworn to and subscribed before me this
2nd day of July, 1896.
Mrs. Tooley is now the picture of health,
and the Democrat reporter could hardly
realize that she was at one time so near to
death. But her testimony is unassailable,
and she is very earnest in her desire to
spread the good new TO other sufferers.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
CONDENSED form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, Irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They bUild up
the blood, and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallOw cheeks. In men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excuses of
whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes and may be had of all druggists, or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine

good coffin story is related in Sir
Daniel Lyson's "Reminiscences" The
hero was a private soldier and the
scene the West Indies, and the story
neatly illustrates the rigidity of the
red tape which binds the administra-
tive departments of the army. ''One
poor fellow who was given over by the
doctors and supposed to be dead, was
measured for his coffin, and the coffin
was made. In these hot climates there
is no time to be lost. The man, how
ever. disappointed the doctor and re-
covered. Then came the question, who
was to pay for the coffin? 1t was
charged to the man, but he refused to
sign his accounts with this charge
against him, saying he had not ordered
the coffin and did not want it. At last
a compromise was arrived at. The
man agreed to pay, provided he was
to have the coffin; so il was given him,
and he stuck it up on end by his bed
in his barrack room, fitted it up with
shelves and kept his things in it all the
time we were at Grenada. House

shirring to these little yoke pieces

POULTRY HOUSE PLAN.

" Lightly ~ ohc IluhuTcu

for a good hen-house that will accommo,

be constructed in n manner that will
keep the hens warm during severe
winter weather, and enable the builder
to keep several varieties or small lots OF
20 to - in one room of it. Nothing said
about cost.
We always presume that those con-
templating going into the chicken bust
ness are not seeking merely a place to
spend ready cash, but for the purpose of
making pay out of the employment.
We always endeavor to aid such persons
by suggesting economy in the construc-
ton of buildings to the degree that will
encompass the possibilities of making
them strong, durable and comfortable.
1t is generally conceded that fowls
kept in small focks do best, and in max
ing up\a plan for keeping the number
mentioned we have followed up that
idea closely, and present a five-room
house with each room ten feet square,
four of which are intended to provide
accommodation for at least 20 to IS
hens.
To economic time, labor and expense,
we suggest that this house he framed
