me Maid ana HanaKercn,eI.

A touching and poetical custom pre-
walls in the Welsch-Tyrol. When q
young maiden is about to be married,
Immediately before she steps across the
threshold of her old home, on her way
10 the church, her mother solemnly,
gives her a new pocket handkerchief.
The bride holds it in her hand through
out the marriage ceremony, usin it
to wipe away her tears. So soon as the
marriage festivities are ended the
young wife lays the handkerchief aside
In her linen closet, and there it remains
as long as she lives. Nothing would in
duce a Tyrolese wife to use this sacred
handkerchief. 1t may be half cen
fury, or longer, before it is taken from
it's place to fulfil the second and last
part of its mission. When the wife
dies, perhaps as gray old grandmother,
the loving hands of the next Of kin
place the bridal handkerchief over the
face of the dead and it is buried with
her in the grave.-London News.

used per acre; in hand planting, ten to
fifteen pounds. The beets should be dis
tributed singly and at equal distances
apart, and covered to the depth of one
half to one aud half inches, according to
the soil. Detailed information on this
point may be had by applying to FL. W.
Wiley, as above.
In France the so-called French rich
sugar beet is the favorite. 1t grows en-
tirely under the soil, and yields largely.
1t seems to be important not only that
sugar beet should be of proper size and
shape, but also, says MIR. Wiley, that it
be grown in such manner as to secure
the protection of the soil for all the parts
except the neck and foliage.
This position can only be secured for
the beet by growing it in soil sufficiently
pervious to permit of the penetration of
the top root to great depth. 1t is for
this reason that subsoiling is of import
ance. The content ofsugar is largely below
the soil. Information as to seed may be
had on application to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. G.
A brief description of the method of
making sugar from the beet is appended,
although to the farmer or beet raiser it is
of interest only from secondary considera-
tions. In the factory the beets are con-
veyed to washing tanks provided with
suitable apparatus for keeping them In
motion and transferring them toward the
end from which the fresh water enters, in
order that the whole of the adhering soil,
together with any sand and pebbles, may
be completely removed. BY suitable
elevator the beets are next taken to
point above the centre of the diffusion
battery, whence they are dropped into
slicing apparatus, by which they are cut
into pieces of small thickness and of such
shape as when placed in the cells of the
battery they will not lie 80 close together
as to prevent the circulation of the diffu-
sion liquors. When the cell is full of the
sliced beets it is closed and the hot juices
from the cell last filled ere admitted and
allowed TO remain in contact with the
cuttings for few minutes. Several cells
are thus kept in use-one filling, another
emptying. From the last cell the juice is
drawn off and sent to the CHARTERS. The
cuttings are used for cattle food. The
cost of building first-class factory, with
capacity of four hundred tons Of beets per
day, is estimated at 100000. The ma
chinery must be all of the latest pattern
aud Improvement. Mr.. Wiley wisely
say: Ii is best to recognize at the very
first The great expense which attends the
erection of sugar factory and the necessity
for its meeting every modern requirement.
Reet-growing and beet-sugar manufacture
are two distinct industries, but with COM
mon aims and interests"
The one reason why the beetsugar in
dustry has not already been established is
that to secure profitable results sugar
factory must be erected, costing not less
than 100000 and permanent annual
supply of thirty thousand tons of beets
must be secured. Without cooperation
of farmers and capitalists the enterprise
would fail. The beets must be raised near
the factory, and the factory must insure
certain market for beets.

Ronhs In Prairie States.

In some sections of the country stone
and gravel cannot be obtained for road
building purposes. Under such circum-
stances it is necessary to resort to
grading and tile drainage, if there is a
season of heavy rainfall, so that ample
outlet may be provided for the surplus
water. This is all that can be done in
some prairie districts. In such locali-
ties the grade of the roadbed must be
raised above the surrounding level,
properly crowned, and with due regard
to the contour of the adjoining ground.
Road-grading machines are of great
value in accomplishing the work.. A

EARLY AUTUMN COSTUMES.
Pretty Dress of Light WOODEN Fab-
RIGS.

Pretty Dress Of Light WOODEN Fab
When the first suggestion of autumn
is in thesair, and while it is yet toe warm
to do much more with wraps Than mere
~ carry them about, the stylish woman
gets great deal Of satisfaction out of
pretty dresses made OF the lighter
wooden fabrics and her autumn hats
made of chip or stray in the same color
as her costume. Very elaborate dresses
made of crepe de chine with ruchings
and rufles, puffs, insertions and edg-
ings are shown in the newest invoices
and are sometimes seen alb dressy OUT
of-door entertainments. There is a
mania for white and the old-time swiss
muslin or organdie made up over white
or color in 1avorite dress. Very light
gray, blue, green or pink crepe de chine
with white silk lining is a momenthry
fancy. A specially stylish costume is
of lemon yellow over white satin and
with trimming of white lace. 1t is n
curious fact that some colors are so
much more dressy than others, and she
is the artistic woman who discrimi-
mates and makes her colors and combi-
nations fit the times and seasons when
they are worn.
A dress of large figured India silk is
made up with skirt perfectly plain
and with sleeves full at the shoulders
and fitting the arms below. The neck
is cut out in shield shape and filled in
with folds and ruchings of organdie
and lace. Another pretty dress is made
of embroidered muslin. It has three
bands of wide trimming and between
these narrow lines of embroidery. The
waist is plain at the sides and back,
while the front is deliberately wrought
with vest, shoulder straps and wide
bands of embroidery set in at the shout
der seams and outlining the vest on
elthr7 side. A girdle belt is OF velvet,
and over this and far down on the skirt
these side bands of embroidery extend,
making pretty and effective trim
ming; the sleeves are made of alternate
rows of embroidery and plain material.
Hire tqcks are a faNorite decoration for
these materials, organdies, veilings, in
deed all lightweight wool, cotton or
silk fabrics may be tucked in almost
solid masses. A novelty is a skirt
trimmed with tucked rufles. These
rutles are set on so as to outline an over
skirt design. The ruffles are about
four inches wide and each one has
three tucks above narrow hem. There
arc five of these rufles, and as each one
is about five yards in length, the amount
of sewing necessary to produce them is
by no means triAing. Never were thin
goods and laces in such enormous de-
mand. Entire dresses are made of lace
insertion and edging, and capes, waists,
blouses and draperies representing
scores of yards of material are not un-
COMMONLY. Y. Ledger.

An Incident Which Does Not Speak
Well for Yankee Enterprise.
A writer in the Yarmouth Mass
Register complains that the road built
by the state between Yarmouth and
Dennis is not being properly taken care
Of He says: THE recent heavy rains
washed the road bare OF dust in many
places, and in one place the sand from
the hills was washed on to the depth
of over a foot, and though several days
have elapsed, at the time of writing,
since the flood no attempt is being made
to repair the damage, and in the mean
time the road is being worn and the
stone still further being loosened, and
the strangcJt part of it all Is the total
Indifference which seems to exist by the
townspeople for this new road, which
they should guard as the apple Of their
eye. If proper supervision is not to be
kept of these state roads, the towns will
be better off with their old clay ones.
Whether the dust is blown off by the
wind or washed off by the rain, 1t
should be Immediately replaced by
more, never allowing the bare stones
even to show. The road will go to ruin
rapidly under the present system, and
the expense later, on repairs, will be
immense"

FOR PRAIRIE ROADS.
An Illinois Man Advocates the Laying
Innr RnIIa

An Illinois Man Advocates the Laying
of Iron Rails.
Having given the subject of iron
roadways some study venture to give
my opinion. 1 am satisfied that iron
roadways are the thing for this prairie
country. On the praries ballast of any
kind must in most cases be hauled long
distances, making the cost of the iron
roadway, even with double track, the
cheapest. Any kind of ballast needs an
amount of repair equaling the cost Of a
new road almost once in from six to ten
years. The iron roadway would prob
ably last two or three times as long, the
repairs being almost nothing.
There need be no fange or elevation
on the inner side Of the rail. Make them
perfectly fat; the wagons will not run
off. In common country roads the
wheels do not make ruts more than
twice the width of the tire, no matter
whether the ground is hard or soft.
Teams travelling on ice for miles leave a
regular wheel trail not wider than the
rut on the country road. / would make
a rail after this fashion:

EX-Police Inspector Alexander S. Will
liams and Gen. Howard Carroll are two
men who apparently never neglect
them.
One cold, clustering day last winter,
when the streets were banked high
with snow and the winds were full of
Icy needles, there was a simple funeral
ceremony in certain private house.
The dead man had at one time been very
active and influential in New York, but
adverse fortune had oyertaken him be-
fore his last illness. In his prime many
hundreds had Sought his friendship.
Around his coffin scarcely two score of
loyal friends had gathered. Chief
among these few mourners, however,
were eX-Tnspector Williams and Gen.
Carroll.
EX-Mayor Hugh ]. Grant is another
strict observer of the etiquette pertain
ing to funerals. Only the most exact
ing obligations will prevent his attend

ETIQUETTE OF FUNERALS.

New Workers Who Are Careful to Ate
tend Obsequies of Old Friends.
Some men are as conscientious and
as scrupulously exact in paying their
respects to the dead" as they are in any
other matter of etiquette. Among their
humber are men conspicuous in public
life. Their frequent presence at flu
herals is indicative of strong sense of
duty as we'll as of loyal friendship for
those to whose death they pay the
tribute. For busy man of affairs to
lake an hour or two out of the middle
of the day to attend church funeral
Is often more of sacrifice than a casual
observer might think. Yet there are
score or more of well-known and in
auential New Workers who invariably
make it point to attend the funeral
of an old friend, no matter how incon-
venient it may be.
John D. Crimmins Is most punctilious
In this respect, as also is Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford, now United States min
lister to Spain. They believe that 10y
atty to a friend entails the duty of be-
ing present at that friends funeral. j.
Edward Simmons, president of the
Fourth national bank; John 81. Starin
and D. o. Mills are very busy men who
usually find time to attend the funerals
of their old friends or business asso-
ciates.
Within the past few months several
old and respected residents of this city
have died and been inferred after serv-
ices in some church. In almost every
instance the same well-known faces of
surviving friends were observed among
the general mourners. Elihu Root,
John E. Parsons, Stephen P. Nash, ex-
Surrogate Delano, c. Calvin and Ed
ward Lauterbach rarely omit attend
ing the obseouies of departed friends

Cheaper Than Stable Manure.

Prof. H. e. Van Deman says in the
Philadelphia Record that crop OF
clover or COW peas plowed under every
two or three years in the orchard will
stimulate growth sufficiently, and as
It would take 20 loads of stable manure
Der acre to do the same the former is
the cheaper. He thinks also that 600
pounds each of muriate of potash and
dissolved bone or phosphate rock per
acre should be applied. But this will
not be necessary every year until amor
rhardIi is bearing heavy crops and shows
signs Of impoverishment.

Let the rails be perfectly fat,
eight inches wide at top and ten
inches at bottom, with bevel
of an inch on each edge. Then
wagons and bicycles can drive over
them in any direction without iucon-
venience. The beveled edge will throw
the horses foot away from the edge Of
the rail should he chance to step on IT,,
thus preventing the shoe from catching
under the edge of the rail. Lay the rails
so that the wagons will track near the
inner edge. Then when the inner edges
become worn change sides with the
rails and get another season of wear.
Let the bolts be countersunk with a
long slope clear through the rail so
that they will not come through b.
wear. Drain roads with tile In the
center, not on the sides. 1t takes only
one tile instead of two; lowers the water
level in the road center, and is much less
liable to be filled by tree roots.-M. W..
