Col. webb's Yacht at the Governments
Disposal.

Col. w. Seward Webb of Shelburne has
offered his steam yacht, the Elfrida, to the
war department for use in case of war with
Spain. The Elfrida is Col. Webb's private
yacht and is now hauled out at Shelburne
harbor. She has not been in use since
1896. The yacht has a speed of about ~
miles per hour and was built at Whining
ton, Del. She has had the test of sea ser
vice, having been used by DR.. Webb in a
cruise along the Atlantic coast when he
was a resident of New York. The boat
was brought to Lake Champlain through
the ST. Lawrence and would have to be re-
paired and taken out that way if the offer
is accepted by the war department. She
would probably be used as a despatch boat.

American Securities Abroad,

The sales of American securities have been, ac-
cording to London advices, very large abroad of
late. If this state of things holds, there will be
an increasing influx of British gold into this mar
ket. This demonstrates the faith abroad in the
stability of our credit There is another point of
faith for which the people not only of this but
foreign countries have good grounds for credence
and that is belief in the efficacy of iostetter's

year and consequently good stock Of
it can be laid in. Pretty underwear
is something every woman likes to
have, and should be we'll provided
with. When buying trousseau the
best plan is to find out just how much
money can be afforded, and then what
is necessary should be bought first,
leaving for the last what might be
called luxuries. 1t is very pleasant
to own two or three silk gowns, but
they are not necessity. A street
gown, on the contrary, is necessity,
as we'll as one or two smart and be-
coming gowns for house wear, and at
least one gown that is suitable to wear
ut evening entertainments. There IS
no greater mistake made than for
yuung people to give up their social
life as soon as they are married; for
while they are suficientto each other
for time, it is but human for them
to wish for the companionship of
somebody else after awhile, and then
they will want to be entertained as
we'll as to entertain.
Every woman who can afford 1t
should have wedding gown. 1t need
not be of silk or satin, or any of Sle
more expensive materials, but it is
prettier to have it in white, and to
wear with it veil. There are many
inexpensive white materials that can
be bought now that are extremely
pretty, and the gown need not be
elaborately made. -Harper's Bazaar.

Feeding Apples to Cows.

We do not wonder that there is
strong prejudice against allowing
COWS, and especially milch COWS, to
eat apples. For the most part it is
we'll grounded. While it is possible
to give milking COW few dry apples
without drying up her milk percep-
tibly, that is not the kind of apples
she usually gets. If the COW is in an
orchard where apples are falling, she
runs every time she hears one drop
and eats it greedily, however wornny.
sour, green and bitter it may be. All
apples have some malic acid in them,
even including those that we call
"sweet." This malic acid, together
with the tannin that is found in the
apple peel, and especially in green,
small apples, contracts the cows
stomach. If she eats much of such
fruit, it gives her the collie just as
surely as it does the small boy. The
cows stomach was not made to digest
such stuff, and o.sure rs it is put into
her stomach thereis riot andrebellion.
Every one knows that giving vinegar
to cows, and rubbing her udder with
vinegar will dry her of. We believe
that allowing COWS to eat many apples,
even if they are ripe, has bad effect
on their milk production. American

Medallions. open work blocks, mo-

applique effects are very fashionably

The chief points in the new jackets

to them and the enormous medici col

Cause of Sheep Scab.

Common sheep scab is caused.by a
species of parasitic mites which are
larger than that kind which cause
scab on horses, cattle and other ani-
mails, and is a distinct variety. This
parasite inhabits the regions of the
body which are most thickly covered
with wool; that is, the back, the sides,
the rump and the shoulders. 1t is
the most serious in its effects upon the
sheep of any of the parasitic mites,
and it is the cause of the true body
scab. It is generally believed by
sheep-raisers that there is but one
kind of sheep scab, but there are three
other forms, likewise caused by para
site mites. One of these is the sar-
coptic scab, which is limited almost
entirely to the head. The second is
the symbolic scab, which affects the
limbs and udder, while lastly is the
rare affection of the eyelid scab.
These forms of the disease appear to
be rare and OF mild nature compared
with the common body scab.

sharp pair of shears and cut the fight
feathers, OF the ones on the outer side;
cut until you come to the natural div
ision between the fight feathers and

should be cut is technically known as

cut as close to the flesh as possible

E,nploy,f, snt in the Attic.

A story is told of woman who was
left to support herself after middle
life. She had no idea of how to go
to work to make money, and, though
never having had an oversupply of this
worlds goods, she had been in COM
Portable circumstances. She had some
wealthy friends, at whose extrava-
gances she had often exclaimed, say
ing, "You throw away enough for
some people to live on"
When she became penniless, in try
ing what she could do so as to retain
her independence her mind turned to
this so-called waste of her friends.
She asked them if they would let her
have what they threw away, feeling
that this was not asking charity. So
II was agreed that as things were no
longer needed they should be put up
in an enormous attic, covering the
house.
Here this ingenious woman went
twice year, sorted the stuff all over
and sold and disposed of it to such
good advantage that she asked help of
no one, and was able to live in modest
