AN ExTRAvAGANT FASHION.
The Skirt and the Corset Are Now Made
 to Match.

The Skirt and the Corset Are Now Made
 to Match.
 The short French corset, as short as the riding corset, is greatly in favor. particularly for slender women. These can be bought of plain or colored coutil or satin, but the fancy silk and bro cades are preferred, and it is very smart to have the corset and silk petticoat made of the same piece of silk. The all-fowered designs are peculiarly adapted to this purpose, and are to be found both in light and dark colors. The corset is finished with lace and three rows of beading, through which narrow satin ribbons are run. The up- per part of the petticoats is carefully fitted over the hips, all fullness being thrown to the back, but deep Spanish flounce, which is finished by narrow ruffle, makes the width around the bot tom fully five yards. These silk petti- coats are very important part of the costume this season, for on their being we'll hung depends much of the beauty of the dress skirt. The silk used in them is stiff and stands out well, but a narrow steel tape put just above the Spanish flounce and through the head ing of the ruffles makes sort of ideal ized hoopskirt. A yellow ground cov- cred with dull pink roses makes an ex- tremely smart corset and petticoat, while the dull grounds may be more useful than the white with light flowers, which is suitable for evening gowns.
 Some New York women who pride themselves as always being smartly gowned have 12 pairs of corsets made at one time, with petticoats to match, and declare that it is absolutely nec- essary to have this number to go through the season; but this seems to be an eXaggeration, for third that number, made, as they are, of the best material, last long time. The fashion able corset, short on the hips and low in the bust, gives more natural look to the figure than do the long ones which incase the body so stiffly.-Har- per's Bazar.

BOUNDARY OF A NEW WOMAN.

Love and Politics Led Her to Much Emr
 barrassment
 "This political life is not all that It has been pictured"
 The new woman sighed and laid asidS her pen.
 "I must have Charlie's vote" she went on minute later, "and Charlie says he must have me. Now, if I get his vote, and he gets me, what have gained politically?" :.
 She rested her head on her hand and sighed again.
 Ut looks to me-" she said, Gas if he would get back his vote, with the office and me thrown in to make it better bargain. That may be politics, but 1t does not commend itself to my busi- ness judgment"
 She knitted her brows and scowled at the political circular that she had been preparing.
 "If I refuse to accept his terms," she continued, "he will swing the ward against me, and then what will have? Nothing. Not even a husband. must give myself, including the office, in order to gain the office, and if don't, I am stranded in both politics and love. I don't see where my victory is coming in."
 She threw the circular into the waste basket and prepared to write new one.
 "On the other hand," she said, sud. denly stopping in her work, "if I ac- cept Charities terms shall give mortal cffense to Will, and Will has a strong pull in the other end of the ward. Will is nice fellow, too, but if Tom orly controlled ward or two think I'd"
 She shook her head at the very thought.
 "No, Tom doesn't amount to anything politically" she argued with herself. "If I were not new woman Imight-IwishI I wasn't new woman. don't see what good it does me to be one, where there are such drawbacks. TT don't believe will be one any longer"
 She tore up the second circular, de- cided to let the country go to the bow VOWS as far as she was concerned, and accepted Toms invitation to the thea ter.-Washington Post.

American MCrino sheep are undoubt-
eddy the best in the world. OF these the
hocks in Vermont and in the region of
western New York, south and east of
Rochester,, are noted the world over as
supplies for the best breeding stock
Undoubtedly sending full blooded rams
to Australia has greatly increased the
wool product of that farQff land. But
when $500 and even as Nigh as 81 900
are offered for a single ram it is great
temptation to sell, even though the effect
be to increase the competition against
American woolgrowers. The Greenfield
mass. } Gazette has a letter from David
Hunter, now visiting Australia which
says that fifteen sixteenths blood YER
mont Merino ram has lately been shorn
and cut 35 pounds of wool. A half bred
Vermont eve, shorn at the same time,
gave 10 pounds ounces of bright,
clean wool This importation of Amer
ican Merinos has been going on for more
than % years. The fact that importa-
tions of breeding stock are still contin-
ued indicates that the home grown
American Merino is superior to the
same stock bred in the climate of Aus
tralia, and with this advantage the
breeding Of the very finest Merino sheep
for export as breeders may still con-
tinue to be profitable, albeit such sheep
help TO spoil the market for all but the
very choicest grades of American Me-
rino wool

Beet Sugar Factories.

According to The American Agricul-
turist, the air is full of propositions for
beet sugar factories. Not only Califor-
mia, but most of the other states of the
arid west and of the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi valleys are keenly alive to the
possibilities Of this new industry, while
a clever lot Of men in central New
York have quietly secured an option on
the outfit of the only beet sugar factory
in Quebec. The middle south is also
moving in the matter, and the enterpris-
ing farmers and business men of Chat
tanooga are already in the race for a
factory, claiming unsurpassed advan-
tages for their section. 1t is also told
that several parties have passage en-
gagged for Europe to order machinery
and secure foreign capital for new beet
sugar factories.

MANAGEMENT OF BEES.
In Winter Quarters on Summer Stands.
Feeding the Bees.

In Winter Quarters on Summer Stands.
Feeding the Bees.
Bees that are to be wintered ON their
summer stands should be placed in win
ter quarters when first frosts appear, but
it is often put off much longer, even
until severe winter is upon Us. When
this occurs, our only resort is to use sub
stitutes, the time being past that would
admit of proper management.
A colony of bees that do not have thu
necessary supply of honey to carry them
through the winter will surely die, and
all weak colonies that do not have bees
enough for self protection will also die
Again, colonies left on their summer
stands, in thin, unprotected hives, are
liable to succumb to very severe cold
weather, even if they are well supplied
with honey. Protection is not only
saving in this respect, but it is a saving
in the pounds of honey consumed, and
the amount thus saved will pay for the
extra protection. And this is not all. A
colony of bees placed in proper condi-
ton, at the right time, is usually worth
as much as two colonies that are not the
following spring Thus writes cor
respondent in The American Agricul-
turist and authority for the following:
Bees should be fed liquid tirup only
during warm weather. After cold wealth
er has set in it is not safe to food liquids,
and the only feed that can be used is
candy made from good quality of
granulated sugar This may be made in
large cakes or slabs and laid over the
frames, directly over the cluster of bees.
This candy serves as good and health
full food for them and in many respects
is better than natural stores. The candy
may be nodded in the regular honey
frame and suspended in the hive, the
same as a frame of honey.
1t is never too late to provide protec
tion for bees during winter, if neglected
in the fall, but the conditions must be
Just right at the time of doing it, or it
will prove to be a serious damage. Bees
should not be handled or disturbed in
cold weather, bat only on warm day,
when they are ON the wing. A colony of
bees should not be moved from one To-
cality to another, except when taken
away mile or more, as changing the
location or place of entrance to the hive
in the immediate vicinity will be fol-
lowed by heavy loss of bees the first
time they take a fight. Good chaff
hives are the best outdoor protection,
and they should be made large enough
to admit of not less than two inches of
packing space around the sides and bot
tom Of the hive proper and four or six
inches Oh the top, and to double this
amount is still better.

TrenChing Celery,

The celery which is marketed after
January is trenched out of doors as fol.
lows by contributor TO Country Gen
tleman. He says:
About the 1st of November | take up
the unblanched celery without any
banking or handling. put six rows in
a trench. first take up the two middle
rows of plants with a spading fork, set
ting them to one side, then run the
pillow several times through the place
from which the plants were taken, max
ing deep funow. This is made deep
enough with Il spade so that the tops Of
the plants wien standing upright in
the trench Will be about six inches above
the surface. | make the trench wide
enough for four plants, and take them
up with little soil OH the roots and set
them rather loosely i'll the trench. This
allows more air to circulate among
them, and they are less liable to heat
and rot.
The earth is drawn close to the plants
with hoe, or if the boards are at hand,
narrow boards may first be set on botn
sides of the celery. These will keep the
earth from coming in contact with the
celery and will save washing it. Two
boards are nailed together in the form
of trough and laid over the rows for a
roof to keep the plants dry. A small
opening is left at the ends and joints
for ventilation, which is filled with
straw in cold weather. 1t is very impor-
tant that attention be given to ventila-
ton if the celery is to keep well. Before
the ground free yes about foot of earth
is shovelcd on the trenches, and it is
better to put this Oh gradually.
