LATE FASHION NOTES.

Three large steel buckles fasten the
back of pretty belt of black velvet
ribbon.
Brilliant red, with white designs
figures also in vests, dresses, adjust
able fronts, etc.
A choice arrangement in French
millinery and costumes is pinkish
mauVe with pale stem green.
Every possible shade is seen in
Panama sailors, and coarse-meshed
nets, quilts, and thick wreaths of
held flowers are the various trimmings
used.
Plain India in various shades comes
accordion-pleated as well as chiffon,
and the quality they use tor this DUR
pose is so fine and soft it is lust like
gauze. Liberty chiffon, while a little
more expensive, than the ordinary
KIND, is so much more durable on ae-
count OF its greater body that it pays
IN the end; besides, it looks so much
handsomer.
Fashion has dictated that color for
centerpiece and dolly shall be banished
both from the tea table and dining
table. The thing to have is pure
white, with white embroidery or hem
stitched or drawn linen. This is I'M
dorb tedly a reaction from the multi
plic1ty Of color SO much used for some
time. Now the color must come from
the flowers and shades and favors.
Lamps as a table decoration are no
longer considered as desirable as can
delabra, and certainly the latter are
relief from the millinery-looking ar
rangement of black lace over red satin
or pillows of pink chiffon so univer-
sally seen.

BLACK ROT OF GRAPE.

The black rot Of the grape is es-
pecially abundant during a moist,
warm season, and upon varieties like
the Rogers Hybrids which contain the
blood of the European grape, Wits
Vinifera. 1t attacks fruit, leaves and
canes, but is most common and most
destructive on the fruit. It first ap-
pears on the nearly full grown berries
as purplish-brown spots; this color
finally extending to the other parts of
the berries. The berries gradually
shrivel and become considerably
ridged. 1t is controlled by spraying
with Bordeaux and the ammoniacal
copper carbonate solution, using the
former till the fruit is full size and
later using the latter. In many sea-
sons all the treatment necessary may
be the early spraying with the Bor-
deaux mixture.-Farmer's Review.

Feet of the Sheep.

Keep an eye on the sleeps feet.
They should be trimmed regularly and
kept in good condition. This is done
by pairing off the surplus growth of
the horn, which will otherwise turn
under the feet, gathering filth, which
rots the sole and causes lameness. By
neglect, this is quite possible to turn
into the contagious foot rot by inocu-
lation by the virus-which may come
we know not whence, but it is in
the air-and then cause serious

FARMS AND FARMERS.

Although we have had a good deal
to say at different times about crimson
clover, we can we'll make room for
the following on the subject by a
writer in Grange Homes
1t may not be known to all readers,
he says, that nitrogen is one of the
most active agents in the stimulation
of plant growth, and the most costly
part of all manures. United with
water it makes ammonia, and in this
form it is taken up by the roots of all
plants, and produces a mysterious but
most powerful effect upon them. Not
withstanding the fact that there are
unlimited quantities of it in the air
everywhere, it Is not in a form to be
stlmulative to plant growth, until it is

PHILOPENA.

Her hand lay cozily in mine
That lovely even tide;
L marked her eyes upon me shine
With glowing pride;
L stroked her tresses, glowing fair
By gaslight's mellow sheen;
In soft delight we wagered there

The dainty forfeit was to be.

A very trifing ching, you see,
And yet I'll tell;

Then glanced meath dropping lids

MY LAST DOLLAR.

'Tis my last golden dollar
Left solemn and lone,
All its yellow companions
Are bonded and gone.
No more shall their simmer
My features relax;
They've gone like a glimmer,
They've gone to pay tax.
And fond fancies come DER me,
AS l stand here and gaze
On the face of this loved ore.
And think of the maze
Its fellows have trodden
In life's weary game:
And realize plainly
Its path is the same.
| salute thee, old fellow,
And promise thee now,
That good things shall mellow
That clouds on thy brow.
Say, a dinner, perchance,
UT a sip at the wines
From the table where Croesus
In luxury dimes
The play, or the ballroom.
Or, mayhap thou'lt grace
A box at the op'ra,
Where milady's fair face
VIII once more beam on me
A last taste of heaven
Ere the bonds that now hold lis
For all time are riven.
Good-by-oh, FAREWELL
l repeat it in sorrow,
But today We'll be merry
Come what will tomorrow.
Down the vistas of time
Let this paean ring,
Twas my last golden dollar
But was spent like a king.

stop Small Losses of Butter Fat.

stop Small Losses of Butter Fat.
Did you ever stop to think what an
insignificant thing one-tenth of one
per cent of butter fat is? Why, it
weighs only a little over one-fourth
of one grain and occupies in the neck
of Babcock milk test bottle one one
hundredth only of the graduated por
ton. Surely this is small matteG.
But like snowtlakes the aggregations
become a powerful factor.
If saved they will pay off the mort
sage. If lost a fearful waste results.
One-tenth per cent. lost in skimming
the milk OF COW giving 5000 pounds
annually is a yearly loss of nearly
seven pounds of butter. In herd of
ten cows it means a loss of nearly
$40 per annum. In 1000 pounds of
milk daily for one year it means 400
pounds of butter, over 800 in value.
What shall be said of those so-called
dairymen who deliberately shut their
eyes to truth and permit losses of fat
in skimminS of from five to seven
tenths and in butter milk of per
cent? What wonder that dairying
does not pay?-New England Home

Yet in spite of the tlagrant

begun by the Reform leaders is
likely to be continued i'm South
Carolina for several years to
come. Though the Dispensary
Police have not yet succeeded i'm
breaking up the sale of liquor in
the "speak easies" of the larger
towns, the traffic has been as a
whole put under restrictions
which have contributed immense

Popular sentiment had become
more or less dulled to the abridg-
ment of personal liberty involved

traffic by individuals ; while the
safeguards thrown about the sale
and consumption of intoxicants
under the new system have fully
justified themselves, apparently,

State. In addition, the revenues
of South Carolina have been in
creased by over 100000 in the
three or more years since the
Dispensary legislation went into
effect. Though discredited by its
associations and the follies and
weaknesses of its administrators.

fairer trial before it is dismissed

himself.

A TALK WITH TILLMAN.
Red-HOt on the Triff-OppOsed
to Annexation of Hawaii.

Atlanta, Ga. July 7.-Senator
Ben Tillman, of South Carolina,
spent several hours this morning
in Atlanta. He arrived at s :O5
O'Clock from the West and left on
the Southern at noon.
The Senator was seen at the
union depot by Journal repor
ter. He is just back from a
speech making trip to Iowa. He
spoke at Alba and at DesMoines.
Both were Fourth of July orations,
in spite of the fact that one was de-
livered on the third and the Other
on the fifth.
He was looking hale and ro-
bust and seemed none the worse
for his long and tedious hot
weather trip. His answers to all
questions put to him were gwen
in that energetic and vehement
style for which the Senator is fa-
nous.
"What do you think of the SEN
atorial contest in South Carroll
naw was asked.
81 don't know any more about
1T than you do," replied Senator
Tillman. "All l know is what Tve
read in the newspapers, and my
reading has been mostly confined
to the head lines"
When the scene at Sumter be-
tween Irby and McLaurin was
mentioned, the Senator SAID he
was inclined to believe the incl
dent had been exaggerated. He
said, however, that the candidates
had for long time entertained
strong personal antipathy to
each other. This antipathy he ex
planned dated to the time, five
years ago, when both men were
In Washington. At that time Irby
was Senator and McLaurln a rep
resontative in Congress. Differ
ences arose between them which
have never been repaired. The
Senator had no opinion to offer
as to the outcome of the race.
A soft spot was touched, how
ever, when the tariff question was
mentioned and Senator Tillman
Immediately grew animated.
II see by the papers that they
are going to vote on 1T to-day.
"Ihank God. they've got that
far along" he exclaimed with a
grim sort of smile.
81 want them to make haste
and pass it. believe it will vomit
the country instead of bringing
prosperity. l want it to be- ad-
ministered in heroic doses. 1t is
the only way to convince them
and the Senator laughed grimly.
"How do you stand on the Ha-
waiian question:"
81 am opposed to annexation.
We've got enough colored races
now to bother us without going
out of our way to mix in any
more"
Senator Tlllman says he does
not believe the South Carolina
Dispensary is dead.
1--WE are going to fight Mr.. ST.
monton in Congress and believe
we can stop government by in
junction, in the whiskey business
any way"
Asked if he intended to work
further for a rehearing of the
Senatorial investigation in the
matter OF sugar stock purchases,
