| in the back and very little fullness in
| the sleeves at the cuff, which is plain
and fastens with link buttons The
| fashionable stock of black or some light
color or the high turnover linen collars
are worn with this and also with silk,
batiste and every other kind of waist
| which can be classed with the shirt va
riety, says fashion writer in the New
York Sun, authority also for the fol-
lowing:
The tailor made shirt waist is consid-
cred the best style, for something in the
cut, fit and finish of it promptly stamps
it as not in the class of ready made
shirts. The fu1lness in front of the
waist made to order is arranged more
on the shoulder, and it is fitted more
closely under the arm, both of which
points help to make it more becoming
to the figure. Cotton waists of bingham
in stripes and decided plaids of rather
vivid colors are prominent in the dis
play, with many others of ribbed linen
and French batiste striped with various
colors and patterned over with rose
buds.
All the varieties of linen batiste are
used for shirt waists, some of the pref
tiest being those with embroidered bod
les and plain batiste sleeves. The plain
batiste bodice is usually ornamented
with crosswise tucks forming yoke or
in groups over the entire waist, with
narrow lace frills on the edge of one
tuck in each group.
Flowered organdie waists with color
ed silk or dimity Innings are very pref
ty, and corset covers in pale blue, pink
and green can be purchased all ready to
wear under any of these thin waists.
White dimity shirt waists are to be
much worn, and they have a small
bishop sleeve and turned over cuffs.
The prettiest white waists are made of
wash silk or liberty satin, with two
rows of narrow lace insertion down
either side of the box plait and a group
of tiny tucks between.
Numbered with shirt waists illustra-
ted by the authority quoted is one of
louisine silk with wide crosswise tucks
piped with white silk and worn with a
stock of white silk. Another shirt

"Why, he says the moon is made of

OUR FARMERS.
GROWING POTATOES.

1t does not pay to do much hard
work with them. Not every one can
hire planter and few can own them !;
but common pillow to open burrows,
somebody to drop the seed pieces
and smoothing harrow, a potatoe
coverer, or cultivator arranged for
the work, can be used to cover. The
best growers recommend the MAX
ing of the soil very fine and mellow
before planting, with shallow and
level cultivation afterwards. This is
the best way where only a few acres
are grown and where one cannot hire
planter. The thing to be insisted
on especially is thorough preparati on
Of the soil. The harrow should be
used without stint and mellow seed
bed prepared. Many pillow under the
stable manure SO that it will not come
into contact with the potatoes. 1t is
thought that manure makes potatoes
rot if it touches them. But we are
not at all sure this is so. A large
part of the fertilizer should ordinari-
ly be manure; the rest, fertilizer con-
tanning a large amount of potash.
This can be scattered in the burrows,
preferably after the potatoes are COW
cred. After the potatoes have been
covered week, or less, the ground
row. This kills all the annual weeds
which have started and levels the
ground. The harrow can be used af
ter the plants come up, or a weeder
can be substituted.
The old fashioned way of killing up
the plants is the worse possible way
to deal with potatoes on dry soils, and
is not to be commended for any soil,
unless it be very wet one and such
soil is not fit to plant potatoes in. The
only good resulting from killing up is
the keeping of the potatoes from
getting too wet and possibly from
growing out of the GROUND, in dry
weather, level and shallow culture is
vastly the best. The surface soil
must be kept stirred both to keep
down weeds and to prevent the evap-
Grafton of water from the soil. This
is one of the great secrets of potatoe
growing, frequent and shallow cult
walton. The bugs must be attended
to promptly. Sometimes a day or
two will make a great difference in
the whole crop. Paris green and
plaster mixed in the proportion of
one pound of the poison to one hun
dred pounds of the plaster is better
method than using water unless the
water is handy and abundant. It
should not be forgotten that a tea
spoonful of lime to a pail of water will
make the solution of paris green
harmless to the plants. Nobody now
knows what the season will bring
forth as to crops, prices, etc., but
there is every prospect that a large
acreage will be put in.

Indignant Insurance Men.

Boston. April 24.-The sensational At
tack on the principle of assessment in
surance, which the insurance commits
sioner made i'm his report, has stirred
up the officials of assessment companies
wherever the report has become known,
and the leaders of the large fraternal
orders are equally excited at being
classed. without any discrimination, with
the irresponsible and inevitably insol-
vent orders, which, without laws or sta
tistics. profess to give insurance. The
greatest indignation has been aroused
among the new directors of the Massa-
chusetts Benefit Life association, and
they charge the insurance commissioner
with bad faith and gross inconsistency.
President John Henry Rolker, OF the
association, has issued a statement In
which he expresses doubt as to whether
Commissioner Merrill wrote the annual
report, as the latter's opinions. as ex-
pressed I'm the past, are at variance
with those outlined I'm the report

A very pleasant affair took place at the
Alcazar last evening, and again was the
popularity of the Sons of Father Matthew,
as an organization proven. The affair was

tanning dainty lunches were disposed of
to willing purchasers. Many of the bas-
kets were prettily trimmed with ribbons,
and covered with colored paper. James

was no necessity of urging those present
to buy, for an auctioneer never faced a
more enthusiastic lot of bidders. The
prices ranged from 40 cents to Fl.
