FASHION NOTES.

Tho Longiellow coffee service is
among the latest whims of fashionable
housekeepers.
Dainty little cut-glass and silver
mucilage pots add much to the equip.
ment of my lGdy's desk.
Vegetable fiber in soft dark colors
makes II floor covering infinitely to
be preferred to mating.
The plaid golf stockings seem lit,
tie loud, but it is considered quite
smart to wear them with tan shoes
when bicycling.
A smart little handle for Powered
silk pnrasol is of cherry wood with q
bunch of cherries looking as though
they grew just from the handle.
The chiffon parasois are larger than
the silk ones, aud bend over more, SC
that they really look so much like
lamp shades that it is hard to tell The
difference between them.
The lowered silk taffetas and bro.
cndes are most satisfactory of all para
sol coverings. Strangely enough, if
is not considered imperative to have
the parasol of tho same silk as the
gown.
Partisan novelties and button EN-.
broidered cbiifons are used in the
higher-priced waists. A remarkably
beautiful production of this kind is Of
black chiffon embroidered all over
with tinscl
The all-black chiffon parasols are
considered extremely smart. They
are made exactly like the white and
colored ones, but tho ruales on them
are sometimes trimmed with narrow
satin ribbon.
The parasols this year are extremely
beautiful, and the coloriug and ma
torials used nro simply marvellous.
Such rich tones and such heavy fabrics
have never before been utilized for
this purpose.
The all-whito stitched glove with
four buttons is still IN fashion for
wear with silk gowns i'm the afternoon,
and this very expensive fashion-for
the gloves must DO immaculatc-bid
fair TO continue for some time.
Tortoise she'll fans with chain Of
tortoise shcll--a chain to be worn
eithev around the neck or the waist
are seen, while the silks with spauglcs
are very dainty little affairs which
seem much more suitable for children.
The introduction Of tho gloria silk
umbrellas has been an inestimablo
boon. These umbrellas resemble
silk SO closely that at distance il is
impossible to tell them apart, wear
well and are plenty good enough TO
be lost
The grass-cloth parasols are IN
strong contrast to these chiffon Affairs.
for they arc useful in the extreme.
They are very plain, sometimes

FEEDING CATTLE.

1t was said many centuries ago that
the feeding of cattle was the most i'm
portant part of agriculture. This is
as true to-day as it was in that ancient
time. And the question might well
be asked by every farmer of himself,
Has this important work of the farm
been improved to the same extent as
other work has been, or has not this
been lar too much neglected? 1t is
true beyond question that to n very
great extent our cattle to-day are fed
much the same way rs animals were
centuries aGo--that is, by GRAZING.
The average amount of land needed
now to support one cow is five acres
for the summer feeding alone, when
1T IS quite an easy matter to feed one
on less than one acre. Indeed, it is
very sure that one COW may now be
| supported as well rs is consistent with
the advanced condition of agriculture.
and that is in the very best and most
| productive manner, for whole wear
on the produce of single acre of
| land.
Thousands of farmers are doing this
by the aid of soiling summer crops and
tho sllo for winter feeding. These
farmers are not complaining of hard
times. They are producing from their
land five times as much as ever before,
ut cost of not more than twice the
former expense. The profits of their
enterprise are therefore amply salts

fertilize the soil; double the yield ;
lessen the expenses; and thus actually
add to the profit, even in these times

food of plants in o form that is most
suitable for absorption by them, and
second, 1T acts mechanically on the
soil. 1t keeps the soil in a more open
condition, admitting air. and making
the soil work, and il provides tho
vegetable matter which is so important
an element in keeping land in condi-
tion and enabling it to retain mois-
ture. In this way the indirect valuo
OF farmyard manure is probably great
er than the manufactured value. But
if we Judge of it by the standard set
up OF supplying the requirements of
plants in nitrogen, phosphate of lime
and potash, We find it is deficient in
these particulars, as it only contains
them in very small quantities, and
they are not present in the proportion
III which plants require them. 1t is
true that farmyard manure lasts for q
long time in the soil and adds to its
condition, because of this fact-it is
so slowly soluble. But In these days,
when the necessity presses upon farm
ers to get as quick return out of the
soil as possibly can be got out of it,
there is something else to consider
besides storing up fertility that will
only come into profitable use after
some years: you want to have that
fertility Immediately available for use
by the crops, and the Rothamsted ex-
periments have shown that it is highly
doubtful whether even the soil bene-
fits to anything like commensurate
extent by the application of large
quantities of farmyard manure, TAX
ing into account the cost Of carting
and damage done TO fields, etc, that
it does by chemicals. Farmer and

THE CzARINA's ETIQUETTE.

The Isaritza of Russia has decreed
that several obsolete forms of Russian
court etiquette are to be revived, and
the result will probably be the intro
duction of several striking and pictur-
esque customs. Her Imperial Majesty
has also ordained that all ladies' re.
celved by her shall kiss her hand, pro-
sensations being made after the Eng

was released by the recent decision of

States, she announced her intention
to pay over this entire amount within
sixty days. FinGnciers and lawyers
both laughed ut the idea, and declared
that she would never be able to do
this. However, the courts decision
was announced on the I'd day of
Marcel, and on the Sd day of May in
terest bearing securities TO the full
amount were delivered to the trustees
of the university. But Mrs Stanford's
generosity does not stop here. The

Mr. nayard,s Reply.

The reply Of Mr.. Bayard, our Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, to Secretary of
State olnoy, with reference to the
resolution of the House of Representa-
tives calling for reports OF his recent
address in Boston, England and Edin.
burEh, Scotland, was sent to tho House
OF Representatives Monday 1t will
be found printed in another part Of to-
days paper.
Mr.. Bayard calls attention to the fact
that two of his predecessors, while in
England exercising their functions as
Ministers to the Court Of St James,
made addresses upon subjects political
in their nature, Democracy, and
Tho Law of the Land" As to his
Boston address, Mr.. Bayard states that
his utterances were entirely i'm
promptu, and that he cannot now recall
tho exact words ho used, although what
he said about the President OF the
United States was In kindly, humor-
Gus, post-prandial tone. The fact that
the published reports OF his address,
taken by the reporters OF various
papers, differed materially, shows that
very little dependence can be placed
upon the printed reproductions of the
exact words he ia said to have uttered.
They would, also, even il correct,
utterly lack the effect Of circumstances
and surroundings which frequently are
30 necessary in imparting tho rear
meaning and intent of an after dinner
address However, even the most
strained and narrow construction of
this Boston speech is too oontemptibly
puerile to he worthy of consideration.
II is a matter OF regret that IL was ever
digniiied by being made the subject Of
diplomatic correspondence.
As TO his Edinburgh address, in
which ho drew such vivid picture Of
the corrupt results of the policy Of
government protection TO favored inter
ests, Mr. Bayard makes no pretensn of
offering any apology, but frankly says
"The judgments so delivered wero
formed by me after careful delibera-
tion, and,'in their presentation, sundfy
historical facts and arguments tending
! TO sustain them were advanced. -
And "the Judgments 30 delivered"
were endorsed by tho people Of this
country, by an overwhelming majority,
at tho last election for President. Nor
is there any Indication, thus far, that
the policy then approved by the people
is TO be radically reversed by their
representatives in Congress. Tho Con.
gressional furore over Mr.. Bayard's adj.
dresses is more Of a. tempest in a tea.
pot' than ever.
