quiet Ways Are Best.

Quiet Ways Are Best
what's the use OF worrying,
OF hurrying
And scurrying,
Everybody fiurrying,
And breaking up their rest?
When every one is teaching us,
Preaching and beseeching us,
To settle down and end the fuss
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that trickles down in showers,
blessing brings to thirsty flowers.
Sweet fragrance from each trimming cup
The gentle zephyrs gather up.
There's ruin in the tempest path;
There's ruin in a voice of wrath;
And they alone are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves, their violence abate,
And prove, by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best.
Nothing's gained by worrying,
By hurrying,
And scurrying,
With fretting and with flurrying
The temper's often lost;
And in pursuit of some small prize
We rush ahead and are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost.
IT'S better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along;
Reluctant they to raise a fuss,
Or make themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene in heart and nerve
Their strength is always in reserve,
And nobly stand each test;
And every day and all about
BY scenes within and scenes without
We can discern, with meier a doubt,
That quiet ways are best.

Value of Bees to Orchardists.

Some years ago great hue and
cry was raised in certain sections of
the country over the assertion that
bees ate holes in the fruit and caused
it to decay. Experiments innumer
able have been made proving the folly
of such statement. In one instance
bees were kept in room where there
were dishes of all sorts of fruit, in
Guiding grapes, peaches, plums and
pears. 1t vas noticeable that the
fruits that had the skin broken were
visited by the bees, but in no case
was there any evidence that they
troubled the whole fruit. The value
of bees to fruit growers can scarcely
be overestimated. Some years ago
place was leased to tenant who kept
few colonies of bees. In one corner
of the yard. was large and thrifty
looking apple tree that always bore an
abundance of blossoms, but no fruit.
A number of colonies of bees were
placed underneath this tree, and much
to me surprise of the owner of the
place, the tree was loaded with ex-
tremely fine apples, something that
had never occurred before within the
memory of the man who had owned
the place for twenty-five years. The
next season the bees were distributed
under trees that had not been in the
habit of bearing freely. The most
surprising results followed, the trees
being full of very fine specimens of
fruit. If the blossoms on an apple,
plum or pear tree are covered up and
the bees are kept away from them uu
til the blossoming season is past there
will be no fruit. This has been tested
again and again. New York Ledger.

Washing Silk Clothes.

Silk stockings should be washed and
rinsed in lukewarm water and wrunS
between towels. Silk underwear
should be soaked half an hour in
warm suds and ammonia water, allow
ing a tablespoonful of ammonia to a
gallon of water. Rub gently with the
hands, squeezing, pressing, but not
scrubbing. Do not rub soap directly
on the garment, and do not allow the
laundress to be too generous IN the
use of soap. Above all things taboo
the use of any chemicals or strong
washing powders. Rinse through two
clean warm waters of the same tenn
perature as the suds, adding to the
last water trihe of ultramarine blue
and a teaspoonful of liquid gum ara
bic. Smooth out and hang as care
fully as possible in order to avoid the
wrinkles so hard to iron out OF silk
without injury to the fabric. When
almost dry press under muslin.

Care of the Hair.

To keep the hair clean and silky it
must be brushed often and regularly
no amount of combing will produce a
like effect.
Provide yourself with brush of
the finest bristles, which must be
long enough to penetrate the hair to
the scalp. Never use a wire brush,
and comb should be used only in
arranging the hair. First wash the
hair in lukewarm water with few
drops of ammonia, or fine quality OF
soap may be used. Shampoo the
head thoroughly, using nailbrush,
kept for the purpose, to cleanse the
scalp. Rinse we'll in clear water, or,
if the hair is harsh and dry by nature,
use little glycerine in the rinse
water, and if very moist little gly-
cerine and borax may be used. Rub
the head and hair as dry as possible
with coarse towel, then allow it to
hang over the shoulders and brush
with soft brush till thoroughly dry.
At bedtime the hair should be un-
fastened and brushed for five or ten
| minutes, then gathered into loose
braid, which will give free access to
the air. Hair that is brushed reGu-
larly night and morning, if only for a
Jew minutes at time, will require
less frequent washing, and, meen'
while, will be clean and glossy. Too
much washing renders the hair harsh
and dry.
1t is very beneficial to clip the ends
of the hair once a month, after it has
been brushed smoothly down the
back. After this, all the forked ends
that remain should be clipped. Phil
adelphia Times.

The Details of Dress.

ANY one who closely observes the
little details of dress cannot fail to
note how many and wide-spreadins
the gathers are in the rear Of the new
est skirts, what q number of novel
shapes are given to the waists OF even
ing dresses, where they are cut over
the shoulders, and that ropes of beedS
are worn about white necks at dances.
4 striking throat garniture, and one OF
the most costly a woman can now dis
play, is double row of opal beans
strung on silver wire and with discs
of crystal between the beans. Emer-
AIDS. topaz, amethyst and the dozen
and one varieties of semi-preclous
stones now so greatly in demand are
all cut to resemble small beans and
fexibly wired for the neck. Nothing
in the way of a jewelled neck ornament
is worn high and close; from the base
of the throat and circling out broadly
on the chest all decoration is fastened.
All signs point to continued use of ex-
cessively high trimmings about the
necks of daylight costumes. Long
necked women pass broad ribbons
about their throats twice, and then ty-
ing faring bow under the chin, pin
the loops and ends so that they stick
out like double pair of wings under
the ears. Another attractive method
is to gather great rosettes of the crisp
lest black or white tulle in the side of
the collar so that the ears are almost
concealed in the downy clouds that
puff out high before them. A new
sleeve for cloth dresses is designed to
accentuate the length of the wearer's
arm, for a slim, long arm is as highly
priced these days as long slender
waist. Some of these cloth, cotton and
silk sleeves do not permit of the arm
being thrush through them, except
half way to the elbow. A line OF little
hooks and eyes run along under the
sleeve from a space six inches from
the armpit clear to the wrist. By this
means an apparently seamless casing
of material fits the arm as close as the
wearer's skin, and the sleeve is Curl
ously cut on the bias to help out this
effect and to get the correct, extended
fit we'll out on the hand. Just fold

Rye For Pasture.

Rye may be sown for pasture eith"r
in the fall or in the early spring. It's
function as forage plant is to re-
place or supplement the dry fall pas,
ture grass, and to afford succulent
forage in the early spring before the
grass is ready to be pastured: For
this purpose it is best sown IN the
fall. If sown about September l 1T
will afford good pasture In the late fall
when most of the other forage plants
have succumbed to frost. To obtain
the best results with milch COWS this
pasture should be supplemented with
other feed. In the spring 1t affords
more luxuriant forage and may be pas
tured as soon as the land is fit to turn
the cattle on IT. L. Lyon, Bulletin

is eaten with relish by stock up to the
time of blossoming. After that time
the stalks are too woody to be relished
by stock.
If it is desired to use it for pasture
later than this, it should be sown in
the spring. By sowing rye it is pos

For Water Nymphs.

Combinations of bathing slippers
and hose are now used quite commonly
and with comfort. The separate bath
ing shoes must be tied on by one or
more sets of strings, which are not
only liable to come off or break, but
are binding on the ankles. The COM
bination hose and shoe keeps the shoe
on the foot and leaves the ankle free.
Some of these combinations have a
slipper vamp, while others merely
have heavy sole to the stocking.
The stocking part of the combina-
tion is made in varying lengths from
the ordinary knee length to opera
lengths. With black bathing suit,
these last are very appropriate and
comfortable as we'll as neat.

Patrinfic Tea Cloths.

Tea cloths with flags in drawn work
or embroidered in colored floss silk
all round the edge are used by the pa
triotic woman. A curious specimen
was of snowy linen, the border a de-
sign of leaves in open work lece. Just
above the border and forming deli
cate wreath all the way round the
cloth was a garland Of small shamrocks
worked in different shades of green.
In the center of the cloth was an
American flag and bunch of Scotch
thistles, all in the proper colors.
Egyptian hieroglyphic tablecloths are
handsome and effective, the center is
covered with great lotus flowers, the
hieroglyphics form the border. The
snowdrop border, with center pow
dored with spots, is another favorite;
so is a striped center with Celtic
scroll border. Hand embroidered
sheets are in great demand by lovers
of fine linen.

WeanIng pigs.

The highest success in growing pigs
requires care as well as suitable feed
and breeding. There is no more criti-
cal period in the life Of the'young ami
NAL than when it is deprived of its
mothers milk. This IS natures ration
that so exactly meets the wants of the
young animal that the problem of
furnishing a substitute for it is most
important and difficult. So long as
the young things have an ample sup
ply of milk from dam that is in good
health and we'll fed we find the growth
is rapid and the form shows harmoni-
GUS growth of muscle and bone. AS
soon as the supply Of mothers milk
falls below the amount required to
meet the increasing demand of the
growing pigs we note change in the
hair, the form and proportions of the
pigs showing that the supply of feed
from she dam and other sources is not
complete in kind or quantity,
The problem of the skilful feeder
now is to supplement the motherT-
milk with such food as will insure
natural growth and not overtax the
stomach or digestive powers of the
pigs. Overfeeding is o common fault
when extra feed is furnished young
pigs. They have been in the habit of
taking their milk warm and often. But
we cannot afford the time or expense
to initiate the dams supply, so we can
only approximate and take the hint Of
supplying food as near like the mothers
milk as we can, and as often as con-
venient. Most of us can feed three
times a day and in such quantity as
will be eaten up clean. The stomach
is easily deranged by too much feed or
by that which is unsound and fer
mented. 1t is easier to prevent de-
rangement of the stomach than to cor
rect it. If little Judgment is used
in always having the troughs clean,
free from filth or stale, leftover, sour
feed, and the feed is sound and sweet,
we can gradually bring the pigs on to
such feedas the farm supplies. AlB kstI
every farm has at this season of fN
year surplus Of skim milk. This os
itself is not complete substitute for
sow's milk, but if we add to it corn
meal or wheat middlings we have
ration that so nearly meets the wants
of the growing pig that if fed sweet
and sound in clean troughs and in iu-
dicious amounts we will find the feed
acceptable and not followed by de-
rangement of appetite or Digestion

Household Inventories.

One of the latest aids toward simpll.
flying ones responsibilities is the In
ventory of Household Goods, which
is in the form of small pamphlet,
designed for the use of housekeepers
who are going to rent their flats fur
nished, send their goods to storage
warehouses or insure them, or for
those systematic women who demand
such list for the peace of their souls.
These inventories are very compre-
hensive and should be part of every
we'll regulated household.

descriptions, location. Not kitchen
utensil is omitted; not piece OF brio

responsible for the making of the lists
has done the work in thorough man
ner. At the back of the book are
some odd pages, for fuller descrip-
ton of the brio -a-brac and the books,
so that a detailed description may be

Notwithstanding the large amount
of its Chinese indemnity, Japan finds
itself in financial straits, and lacks
capital to carry on its largely increas-
ing volume OF business. Business
men in all parts of the empire are
making urgent appeals to the govern
ment for relief. But with the pur-
chase of new warships aud other ex-
penditures the imperial treasury finds
the demands upon it all and more
than it is at present capable of meet
ing, and is considering new schemes
of internal taxation to make up the
deficiency. Germany found itself IN
a financial crisis only a few years after
the payment of the huge French in
demnity. the lesson of both cases be-
ing that the booty of war does not
always pay its cost nor provide an IN
exhaustibie fund for the nation that
gets it.

come fearfully heated, and in the
case of wells this heat is soon trans
mitted to the water. A double plat
form, with an air space between, will
help greatly, but best of all is sum-
mer house, or regular closed we'll
house, built over the 2lasfssa, and
this in turn covered with vines. Not
only will such little house serve an
excellent purpose in keeping the well
cool, but it will be an ornament to
the place, as well, and as summer
house" may become most agreeable
place to spend an hour on hot day.
Woodbine is one Of the best vines to
use in covering such a house, as it
provides abundant shade very quick
ly, and is hardy even in the coldest
climates. A few little things like
this done about the farm each year
will soon greatly improve the looks of
the farm surroundings, and will de-
cidedly increase the comforts of farm
life. A suggestion for such house
is given herewith.

a Dainty Mantle.

A dainty little mantle which can be
made by the skillful amateur without
much troubles of white silk, falls long
in the back, and longer in the front
than at the side, where it reaches to
the bend Of the elbow; there is poke
pointed back and front cut in one,
with Medici collar, and this is striped
horizontally with jet. The rows are
pretty close. At the edge of the man
tie there is pinked out frill of white
silk, with heading, and with it is
gathered a narrow lace of the same
width. This is met by the wider
founce, Set in at the yoke, and the
edge falling loosely over the heading
of the frill The depth of the back
depends upon the width of the founce,
which must be shortened on the
shoulder, but it need not be cut. The
over-depth should be turned in where
the yoke and the mantle meet. This
mantle is exceedingly smart.

Overlooking Before Working.

Whenever a working team has an
unusually hard job it is the habit Of
some farmers to feed it extra, thus
giving its stomach an additional labor,
and thus lessening available present
strength. 1t ought always to be re-
membered that it is the food eaten the
day before, and for days and weeks
before that, which is available for
present strength. No animal ought
to be expected to work on an empty
stomach. But light feed before an
extra hard job is better than loading
the stomach with more than it re-
0uires.

knowledge of lace cleaning. Some
years since she delivered lecture at
the South Kensington Institute, Lon

one with it's restoration, and the work
of repairing and cleaning was done
