Our lady readers will be delighted to know
that the Gilbert Manufacturing Co., of New
York, who have gained such enviable repu-
tation throughout the country on their Gill
bert Innings, have now turned their atten-
tion to the manufacture of Dress Goods,
which they produce under the title of Ameri-
can Queen Fabrics, comprising 0rgandies,
Dimities and Grenadines in beautiful line
Of patterns and colors as sheer and dainty as
gossamers. These goods, like their Innings,
are all made from combed yarns and long
fiber cotton, which gives them great strength
and retains their shape much better than
other makes, while the prices are only about
one-half those of the Imported. They are,
no doubt, the most beautiful fabrics made
from cotton. The line also includes Fast
Black Henrietta, which will neither crock
nor fade, and is not affected by air, sun or
rain; very desirable for warm weather
black dress. To be fashionably dressed this
summer means an American Queen Organdie
or Grenadine, Dimity or Henrietta. For the
protection Of the consumer these goods are
done up in silk papers like silks bearing the
American Queen labels.

nefeoiIre Sight.

The school children OF Baltimore
have been undergoing examination to
test the condition of their eyesight,
with some interesting results. Out of
fifty-three thousand pupils over nine
thousand we're found with such defec.
tive eyesight rs TO make it unsafe for
them to continue their studies. The
report was that tho percentage of nor
NAL vision was found to be, first grade,
80; second, Al third, Al; fourth, 40 (;
fifth, AS; sixth, AS; seventh, 54; and
eighth, Sc per cent. A curious result
of the examination is that there is a
steady decrease in defective eyesight
from the second to the eighth grade;
and another important item is that
number of children who we're pro.
nounced almost hopelessly stupid by
their teachers have been amazingly i'm
proved and are making fair progress
in their studies since they have
adopted their glasses. This expert
ment has awakened general interest
among teachers, who are wondering il
much of the stupidity noticeable lin
many backward pupils may not be at
tributable to the difficulty they find
in distinguishing objects, and whether
they may not be benefited by the use
OF glasses.

A Remarkable Friendship.

One of the severest tests of friend
ship recorded in the annals of history
has just come to light in Pasadena in
the course of the trial of q Mexican
who stuck his knife twice into the
abdomen of loving chum. The in
jured man has arisen from his bed to
explain to the Court that the attempt
of his friend to engage in a little
sportive vivisection has not altered
the sentiment OF affectionate regard
existing between them. The spirit of
the carver was said to be altogether
amicable, and the mutual attachment
of former days has not been impaired.
After all, the Shakespearean critics
may have been guilty of malicious
hoax in leading an unsuspecting pub
lie to believe that Shylock entertained
in his heart anything but an undying
affection for the Merchant of Venice
when he demanded his pound of flesh.

The following incident IS from the pen OF
Rev. s. Il. Young pastor OF the Central
Presbyterian Church, Newark, New Jersey;
''ln 1889 four fellow students OF mine used
TO spice their meals at their restaurant and
enliven the late evening witha little Rhenish
wine OF other mild Intoxlcant. They we're
studying for the ministry. After three years
saw one of them in New York, about as low
down in the scale as a man can get. A year
later second OF he four, whose father all
the Christian world knows, died from the
effects OF a drunken debauch, leaving an in
consolab.e family. l have just returned from
u visit to the third in an lnsaue nsylum He
was the brightes anJ winsomest ofthe group
OF eNquislely delicate mould, yet Immensely
capable every way. He drank to excess /;
then read In Conan Doyle's book how the
detective injected cocaine, and in gloomy
mood tried the experiment. Fer n ore than
year. excepting tho brief hours when he
escaped and drnggei himself again, he had
been incarcerated in ward with the ie-
mented. His broken hearted mol her and
the sweet favorite sister, who dotted on hs~
brother, sill hope he NAV once more be
himself, or TO some degree MS fine former
self, but nobody 81 does. The other mem
ber OF the four saw the handwriting on the
wall and slowed up. All this-I have given
but the bare epitome-in seven, / might say

In their annual report the commits.

ants has been successfully carried on
during the past season at the State
aviarles. Something over two hun
dred chicks, which had been allowed
their freedom in the large inclosure,
we're trapped in October and put in a
covered corral twenty.eight by sixty
feet in area. This proved too small for
so many birds, and there was small
loss, the stronger birds maltreating
the weaker ones, This will be obvl-
ated next year by sending the birds
out as soon as they are trapped.
A few birds were distributed last
year to responsible persons with the
understanding that they were to
breed and turn them out in their re-
spective localities. Only three were
successful in raising birds, but they
are confident that past experience will
lead to success in the future, and that
thus the ruifed grouse, which are rap
idly nearing determination, will be re.
placed. Norwich Conn. Bulletin.

A "Feather Farm" idea.

Why not have poultry farms for
feathers, as they do ostrich farms,
peacock farms, parequet farms, even
birds of paradise farms? These latter
are sometimes so buried in their beau,
tiful plumsge that they look as if they
would like to part with some Of it,
even to adorn hat.
This would, in great measure, stoI
this Wholesale wicked killing of our
beautiful song birds and insect. killing
birds. Robins, thrushes, wrens and
many others are not pretty on hat.
The English sparrow can furnish all
the small feathers needed, and pig
con farm the next size. Then poultry
feathers we could have from the ducks
and chickens aud turkeys that we
have eaten. New York Tribune.

TEMPERANCE.

SAD PICTURE.
The night is dark, no starlight breaks tho
gloon,
Tho shadows thicken In the silent room,
A waiting dame in sadness sits alone,
As midnight winds sweep by with dismal
moan.
Why waits she there, with tear-dimmed
eyes, so still.
With hearo presaging deep and bitter ill2
Alas her son is absent from his home,
Thro' scenes OF riot does he wildly roam.
But now his footsteps waverlng are heard
And anguish deep within her breast is
stirred;
He staggers wildly up tho creaking stair,
And helpless falls beside his mothers chair.
For this she nursed him back from deaths
grim brink,
To be beast debased by vice and drink,
Ah, happy would she ne IL he were laid,
His sins forgiven, in the churchyard shaded
We pity patient mothers, sisters, wives,
Who watch and wait through care depress-
lug lives,
Who suffer hard and unremitting pains
For loved ones held in alcoholic chains.

TOUCH NOT. TASTE NOT.

Edward w. Box. editor OF the Ladies'
Home Journal, in reply to young man who
wrote him, asking, sis not young man
placed at a disadvantage when he refuses
wiue at dinners2" says: 81 can only speak
from experience. l have attended great
many public dinners, and am still n pretty
constant attendant at such uffaira / have
never touched u drop Of wine upon these
occasions, and yet 1 have never been made
to feel that was placed at disadvantage
Indeed, am under the impression that u
young man who refuses wine is always at a
distinct advantage. A strong adherence TO
any good principle is always "a Recommended
tion OF young mans character In the eyes
of his elders"
To another, who asked II total abstinence
from liquors is not barrier to social suc-
cess, he replies Il can honestly say that a
young mans best and highest social success
is assured just in proportion as he abstains
from wine An indulgence in intoxicants OF
any sort has never helped man to any So
cial position worth having; on the con-
trary, 1t has kept many from attaining a
position to which. by birth and good breed
ing, they are entitled. No young man will
ever find that the principle of abstinence
from liquor is a barrier 10 any success, So
cial, commercial or otherwise. On tho
other hand. it Is the one principle In his life
which will, in the long run, help him more
than any other

POULTRY can never be ralsed SUCCESS
fully if the poultry house be damp.
Poultry must have dry houses and
runs TO be thrifty.
The farmers garden is the most
profitable piece of ground on the
farm, if it only produces all kinds of
garden crops for the family.
Keep close watch that the mice and
rabbits do not ipiure the trees. Keep
the snow tramped around the tree and
protected with lath or wire screen up
as high as a RABBIT can reach.
There has been too much plowing-
too much washing and waste of fertil-
ity of hilly lands. Plans should be
formed which ultimately result in such
lands being seeded down oftener and
pastured more.
The ideal berry ground would be,
first, rich, sandy loan with clay sub.
soil. Second, dark loan or grsvelly
loan mixed slightly with clay, and
clay subsoil, all having southerly or
eastern slope.
A Massachusetts, farmer speaks kind
words for the mole. He says they
live upon worms which infest most
seed land. They operate in rich, loose
ground because worms are more
abundant there.
You can never get uniform flock il
you use mongrel or grade males, or If
You change the breed every year or so.
Change blood often, but use a male of
the same breed, and you will see i'm
provement each year.
Give every tree that bore heavily
last season good top dressing of we'll
rotted manure, out as far around at
least as the branches extend. If the
ground is in cultivation, fork this we'll
down into the soil in next springs
cultivation.
In every neighborhood where special
attention is given to gardening or fruit
growing there should be a horticul.
tural society. There are always some
good seed grown at these meetings,
and they help to make one enthusiastic
in the business.
Exercise is a necessity, both for
health and for eggs. Confine lot OF
hens and feed them to produce eggs,
and unless some means have been pro.
vided to make them scratch for the
grain given them, the result will be a
lot of over-fat, lazy fowls that sit
around ard do nothing.
Where the peach tree is not pruned
long, slender branches form, and these
produce fruit mainly at their outer
ends. The tree will carry much more
fruit if properly distributed, and will
produce more perfect fruit. The cut
ting will not be attended with injury
if done while the tree is dormant.
That the peach trees should be left to
grow at will is an outgrown idea.
Give the children chance to make
some money. A couple of hens,
ducks, geese or turkeys will start them
to figuring and to working. The little
money earned will be a great pleasure
to them. You can afford to give them
the grain to feed their fowls, if they
will put in the work. They will thus
be taught to study the needs of the
poultry, and become wise in all that
regards feathered stock. Their little
trials and triumphs will be remem-
bered by them in the years to con- 9,
and cause them to think with pleasure
of the old home.

KEEPING ONIONS.

Where large quantities of onions
are to be kept over winter they should
be placed on Slated shelves to the
depth of six or eight inches, in some
dry, airy place. They. are capable OF
resisting considerable frost and will
come out all right if they are not
moved when frozen, but it is safer to
cover them with some straw or hay
when severe cold sets in. In small
way they do very we'll scattered on a
barn floor and covered with hay suffi-
cient to exclude frost. When kept in
barrels these should have holes bored
in the sides for ventilation and should
be left unheaded until shipping time,

Arpetlte Of the BurroMlng owl.

A southern California baby burrow-
ing owl, five weeks old, eats half its
weight of raw beef at a single meal,
and does not suffer in the slightest
degree from dyspepsia. 1t takes three
square meals OF this size daily, and
even then appears to he hungry at
bedtime. An observing physician be-
lieves that valuable digestive aids for
the human stomach can be extracted
from these owls of large appetite,
which will be more eficacious possibly
than are the popsin preparations now
secured from the Intervals of pigs.
Should this belief be confirmed the
market for California owls ought to be
considerable, and the demand for the
birds might warrant the establishment
OF owl ranches.

WISE WORDS.

As much bitterness and hate can be
expressed in a word, as can be fred
out of gun.
good man finds good wherever he
goes, because the good in him brings
out good in others.
Let a woman be weighed down with
responsibilities and she will far more
frequently fight her own way ont of
them than succumb to them.
There are few mortals SO insensible
that their affections cannot be gained
by mildness, their confidence by sin
cerlty, their hatred by scorn or ne
glect.
Every honest occupation to which
a man sets his hand would raise him
into philosopher if he mastered all
the knowledge that belonged to his
craft.
Real friendship is a slow grower,
and never thrives unless grated upon
a stock of known and reciprocal merit.
Remember to make a difference be-
tween companions and friends.
There is no law with regard to eat
ing and drinking and manner of living
which can be laid down as applicable
to all individuals. Each person must
find out the law which applies to him
self and obey it.
Taste is not only part and index
of morality, it is the only morality.
The first and last and trial question to
any living being is, "What do you
like?" Tell me what you like, and I'll
tell you what you are.
Among all the virtues, humility, the
| lowest, is pre-. eminent. 1t is the safest,
because it is always an anchor; ano
that man may be truly said to live the
most content in his calling who strives
to live within the compass of it.

A Power That Cannot Be Stolen.

According to the Electric Review, it
has been decided by court in Ger
many that electricity cannot be
stolen. An electric light company
discovered that man had tapped the
wires and was using electricity as
power. Several thousand amperes of
current had been consumed when the
discovery was made. The question
arose in court whether an invisible,
intangible material could be carried
of. With curious disregard for the
very evident facts in the case, the
court ruled that only a movable, ma.
terial object could be stolen. They de-
cided that electricity did not come
under that head, and the appropriation
of the electric current was allowed to
go free.
