Leather belts in all sorts of hand

Guiding the princess Of Wales and her
daughters and The duchess Of York!
Mention should also be made Of small
cluster Of violets with which it is said
the queen herself has freshencd up her

Shirt waists made of every possible
sort of material will be quite as gen
orally worn as ever. There is not the
least diminution in their popularity; on
the contrary, the range of out-of-door
amusements, which wakes more and
more universal, renders this style OF
easy, neat and natty dressing still more
generally adopted. OF course the
wearing of shirt waists is no longer a
fad, but their usefulness and undeni-
able comfort have become so thorough
ly well established that every complete
summer outfit includes at least half a
dozen sorts of linen, wash silk, dimity,
lawn and similar light fabrics.--N. Y.

OUR WOMEN IN HISTORY.

Americans of the Center Sex WAC
I5uve Left Records.
One subject of considerable interest
is running the rounds of the women's
clubs. 1t rose out of the question: Who
are the ten greatest women of American
history?
To which the first answer was: Pris-
ella Alden, Pocahontas, Martha Wash
tngton, Hannah Adams, Elizabeth
Goose, Moll Pitcher, Emily Blackwell,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott
and Martha Mitchell.
This created storm CT protest, espe-
cially from the friends or admirers of
Mary Washington, Dolly Madison, SUI
san B. Anthony, Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Clara Barton, Frances Willard, Mary
LYON. Emma Willard, Mollie Stark, Bell
Boyd, Anne Carroll, Erminie Smith,
Nancy Hanks, Eliza GreatoreX, Hetty
Green, Rev. Phoebe Hanford and Rev.
Antoinette Brown Blackwell.
In regard to the relative greatness of
the members of this list everything
gems to be a matter Of personal taste,
all with one exception, namely, Eliza
beth Goose. Upon Mrs. Goose, better
known as "Nfother" Goose, a very de-
termined assault has been made. To
some critics she is a myth, poetic crea-
ton, like "King Arthur" "the Princes
Angelica" or "the Demi-God Sieg-
fried" To another group she was
poor married woman of Boston, Mass,
blessed with an extraordinary memory,
which enabled her to quote hundreds
of thousands of lines in both verse and
prose to her little ones. To third
group she was an embryo philologist,
who passed large part of her life in
collating songs and stories which have
made her famous, and in doing for our
language and literature what the
Brothers Grimm did for the German.
A fourth section regarded her as
Bostonian genius, who originated the
500 pages of tales and jingles which APP
pear in printed form to-day over her
name.
Even in Boston, calm and collected
Boston, the fight is seemingly tiercer
and hotter than anywhere else. Beside
the ordinary quarreling between the
four schools there is still more bitter
kind going on owing to the terrible
charge made by the purists that the
supporters of Mother Goose are endeav-
oring to ruin the good name of the city,
and to the retort by the supporters that
the purists are so bigoted, narrow
minded, pedantic and intolerant that
they are trying to rob Boston of its
chief literary glory.
Thus six schools of thought arc imi-
tating the Kilkenny cats, and not even
Emerson's Brahma can bring order out
of the chaos. 1t is high time for the
friends of Mother Goose to rise up in
her defense She did live, and lived in
Boston. She was a good woman, a good
wife, and j good mother. She had many
children, and she did sing them the
songs and tell them the stories which
have given happiness to millions since
her day.
! This alone would entitle her to world
wide fame But there is more. much

NATIVE PASTURES.
After Having Been GrGzcd Closely
They Should BE MANFRED.

They Should lie hnnured.
There is quite diversity of opinion
among farmers and stock raisers on the
question of manuring native pasture
lands. Some have obtained excellent
results by manuring, while others
seem to have had quite the opposite eX-
perience.
The soil of the western prairies is
very rich and under ordinary circum-
stances will give fair returns without
the application of fertilizers Of any
kind. Nevertheless, it is certain that
better returns may be had if more avail
able food is placed within reach of the
grasses. Anyone who has observed
piece of grass land so situated as to re-
ceive the wash from barnyard, will
have found that near the yard where the
supply of fertilizer has been great the
grasses have become thinned out to
few species, while where the supply has
been moderate the grasses are much
more evenly developed and the yield
decidedly plain. A too plenteous APP
plication of fertilizer will thin out the
grasses and reduce the yield of forage
at least for the first season or two, since
many species will not stand such treat
ment. On the other hand, q proper
amount of fertilizer will increase the
yield. 1t is quite possible to use too
much fertilizer for any crop. and the
native grasses seem to be more sensi-
tive in this respect than the ordinary
cultivated species.
Any pasture which has been grazed
closely for some time will be benefited
by an application Of thin top-dress-
ing of well-rotted stable manure, fol-
lowed by thorough narrowing. IT
is doubtful if much is gained BY putting
coarse unrotted manCre on the pasture;
# can be used to better adva nt"mo ~

KEEP MORE SHEEP.
Many Reasons Why Every Farme.
Should Have Flock.

Many Reasons Why Every Farme.,
Should Have II Flock.
There are number of reasons why
sheep should be kept on every farm
whatever the price may be for wool oil
mutton, says writer in the Rural Ca
madam. Sheep should be kept in time
of low prices because the low prices will
not always exist, but are likely at any
time to take an upward trend. When
that time comes the people will be found
clamoring for mutton, which they
learned to eat in time of low prices
When the rise comes the number OF
sheep being marketed will suddenly
fall off, as will also the number to be
had for breeders. You will then be
glad that you kept enough of the old
flock to provide for the expansion of the
new flock.
Sheep should be kept because there
are many wild grasses on nearly every
farm that will be eaten to the best adj
vantage by sheep. They have no butter
or milk to be tainted and rejected by
the market for that reason. A lot OF
sheep running in the cow pasture might
reduce the weeds to such an extent that
much of the bad effect on the butter
would be avoided.
Sheep cannot be dispensed with for
the reason that they provide meat in
small parcels, each one of which may
be disposed of before itsuffers from the
effects of decay. Every farmer can thus
provide himself constant supply OF
meat that can be equaled only by his
poultry. The two make an agreeable
addition to the larder.
Sheep should be kept in large quanti'
ties for the public good. Ifthe present
rate of depletion be allowed to go on.
there will come time when we must
import considerable amount of oui
mutton, and the money thus going out
annually will tend, by SO much, to keep
the balance of the trade against US.

Death Of Harry F. Sampson.

Harry F. Sampson, young man who
S. S. Garfield for some time past, died at
the residence of his employer last Thurs
day morning, March 4, 1897, at O'Clock,
aged Is years and months. About two
weeks ago he contracted a severe cold
which resulted in typhoid pneumonia,
and he sank very rapidly from the start,
although everything that was possible
was done for him, both Mr.. and Mrs.
Garfield and the other members of the
family working as faithfully for him as
though he had been a son and brother,
but their untiring efforts were of no
avail; his time had come.
Harry was a son of Lewis Sampson,
who resides at Cross Fork, Potter Co.,
Pa. His mother died April 8, 1885, since
which time he has been very little with
his father, who is married the second
time. For number of years he made
his home with Mr.. Daniel Black, of Tio-
nesta township, but for the last two
years he has lived mostly in Tionesta.
Harry was a modest, unassuming
young man and had many friends. He
was steady, industrious and thoroughly
reliable in his work-in fact Harry was
what people would call "a good boy.
His remains were laid to rest in River
side cemetery at this place last Saturday
afternoon.
Besides his father he leaves five sisters
and one brother. Three of his sisters, Mrs
Frank Morgan of Nebraska, Mrs. Ed
Robinson of Ludlow, Warren Co., anc
Mrs. John CARL of Newmansvile, were
in attendance at the funeral.

A Model Country Home.
BY MISS 1pA LEpEBUR.

A country home can be made cozy,
comfortable and convenient, without
being elaborate. We need not go bey-
ond our means in constructing such a
home. 1t may be very economically
built and yet be a model in its way. The
mother is the leading spirit in the
house, on her devolyes the great respon-
sibiity of making the home what it
should be. She looks after all the in
Vulnerable household duties pertaining
to a well regulated country home also
after the welfare of the boys and girls,
it is ler moral and spiritual influence
that directs guides and controls to a
great extent the future welfare of the
which gravitates the happiness and
soclability of the children ; through her
kindness and gentle influence also the
husband is drawn into closer touch with
the family circle, and a mutual sympathy
pervades the whole family. Don't shut
out amusements from your home. let the
young folks enjoy themselves, let in
the sunlight it is health-giYing and in
vigorating, inducive TO cheerfulness
and contentment Furnish good liter
ature in your home, not forgetting a
goodagricultural paper. Why not some
of our young men avail themselves of a
course of home reading in agriculture,
offered free by our state college, study
up technical agricultural and horticul-
tural subjects. And thus gain know
ledge and information that may prove
great help and benefit in the near future,
1t is farmers privilege as we'll as duty
to make every thing in his home as
handy as possible, pump should be in
the sink in the kitchen, fuel close by
the house SO the boys can in "a few
minutes carry in enough for the day, an
elevator from the kitchen to the cellar "a
farmer with little ingenuity can put
this in himself and it will save many a
weary trip for che frenquently over
worked wife. Now l do not wish to
carry the idea that the farmer is man
of leisure with very little work to do,
and nothing to trouble his mind the
wife doing all the work, not at all he
has an unlimited supply of physical
labor and if he is energetic he will find
Sufficient brain exercise to keep that
organ i'll good working condition.
Nevertheless 1t is true great deal de-
pends upon the mother, to make the
home and surroundings neat and at
tractive. She wants fragrant roses a
few climbing vines about the house
clean walks and well kept lawn, with
shrubbery and few evergreens and
flowers to beautify the surroundings
which will give the whole scenery a
harmonious appearance, of beauty and
an attractiveness that would be admired
by all. The influence of our surroundings
would tend to wear off all the rough
corners of country life, we should only
see it's brighter side aud learn to admire
nature in all its beauty, we would then
be contented and happy, and thankful
to God for his goodness and mercy, anC
realize that after all life is worth living
And now If have succeeded in convey
ing to you any idea of Model Country
Home | shall feel we'll repaid.
