Gowns For Travel.

What to wear when travelling is a
question that interests the minds of
women who only go away for a day or
two at a time just as much as those
who are fortunate enough to be regu-
lar travellers. 1t is quite as necessary
to look we'll for days outing as it is
for long journey, and nobody likes
to be inappropriately dressed in these
days when it is possible to put aside
some shabby old gown with the idea
that anything is good enough to take a
journey in, for there are few places
where gown shows more thoroughly
its good and bad points than in rail
way car or on steamboat. The day
is gone by for people to go about with
any amount of hand luggage; every
thing is put in the trunks that is pos
sible, and only enough left out to
make one perfectly comfortable, with.
ont carrying quantity Of shawls and
coats as formerly.

Irish 2 oint Lace.

Let it not be supposed that this lace
is simply an imitation Of the Italian
model. At first the stitches were few,
but with time and practice some hun
dred new ones have been invented,
and these so complicated that it is al
most impossible to rip them; conse-
quently this lace, which looks light as
gossamer, has great durability, and
grows more valuable with the lapse of
time. 1t stands wear and tear and
can be washed and made up without
detriment. 1t is often compared to
the finest old Brussels Point, which it
more nearly resembles now than the
Italian Point, from which it sprang.
But, what between the number of new
stitches invented by the lacemakers,
the variety of the designs and the
perfection to which the work has been
brought, the Irish Point has a right to
its name as an original fabric, though
''it only came into existence as an
Irish industry within living memory. "

to $40 yard for deep founces, S15

A CLEVER WOMAN soTANlsT.
How She Converted a Street Dress Into
an Outing Costume.


an Outing Costume.
''I could give people points about
how to climb mountains and wade
streams in silk-lined gown" says a
clever woman botanist. 'When [ go
off on short expeditions with my hus-
band, I never know where we are 60
ing to be, and usually on the way it
is necessary to look respectable. We
can't carry trunk for a few days
trip, and we have certain few things,
such as dry shoes and stockings, that
are necessary, for we are sure to get
wet on our tramps.
"I had an experience the other day.
I wore away from home my light
woolen suit, silk-lined skirt, and
Jacket. We went to the mountains
and stopped at hotel, where I was
appropriately dressed, but not for the
trip which followed the next day. We
climbed the mountain, wading up a
mountain stream to get the treasures
we were after. With a newspaper
and four safety pins I improvised a
satisfactory mountain costume, and,
though I was soaked up to and above
my knees, my gown was not injured
in the least.
"When we got into the wilds and
away from civilization, l took my
Jacket, tied it by the sleeves around
my waist; nv dress skirt [ turned up
around my waist, and over it my
longest underskirt, which protected
it entirely, and fastened them both
around my waist with my four pins. [

I protected that by taking news

through which 1 put my head, leaving
it standing out on either side over my
shoulders, protecting them entirely.
To protect my hat l took of the

"When the work was completed, I
had satisfactory if somewhat unique
mountain costume. In it climbed
the stream all day. I sat on wet
rock in the rain and ate my luncheon.
When we had nearly reached ciyiliza-
ton again, I retrimmed my hat with
pins, took off my newspaper shield,
unpinned my skirts, put on my jacket,
and was a respectable member OF
society again. I had been soaked
above the knees, but, changing shoes
and stockings and leaving off short
skirt that was wet, I was all right for
dinner, and not the least the worse

me, too, and that also survived the

Start the Incubator.

If you have had no experience with
incubators do not wait until the time
for Matching to get that experience.
Start now and by actual experiments
with the machine learn how to con-
troll it so that in the Matching season
you will be able to go on with the
work intelligently and successfully.
Should you be so fortunate as to be
able to handle the incubator success
fully from the start, the stock thus
raised will bring good prices later.
If failure or partial failure is the re-
suit of your trial, the experience will
be gained ct time when it will not
be as costly as it would be if the ex-
perimenting were done at Matching
time. Then loss of the hatch would
bring a second lot into the market
when prices would be low.

Poultry Notes.

Bran keeps the chicks bowels open
and in good condition.
Perches should occasionally be sat-
urated with coal oil.
The hen is a sweet-tempered, hard
working, productive bird.
Droppings must not be allowed to
accumulate and ferment. Once week
is sufficiently long to allow them to re-
main.
1t is found that when charcoal IS
added to the food of fattening turkeys
they gain more rapidly. 1t absorbs
gases and relieves acidity.
Save all the small potatoes; you
will need them before the winter is
over for your flock. Vegetables OF all
kinds should be kept for them.
Now is the time to make observs-
tons for next year, to note the result
of any new experiment and to be able
to overcome difficulties of like nature

ADVENTUROUS SHARK FIGHTING.
The Malays Hunt These Man-Eaters ol
the South Seas For Sport.

The Malays Hunt These Man-Eaters oi
the South Seas For Sport.
The Malays who are engaged in
diving for pearls at the bottom of the
sea are certainly very adventuresome
fellows. Accustomed to plunging into
the tropical sea where abound all
manner of dangerous fish, including
the shark and the octopus, ever ready
to seize the falling body on its way to
find the pearls at the bottom, they
have acquired fearlessness by expert
ence.
1t is no uncommon exploit for these
Malays to attack whole schools of
sharks and to wage destructive war
fare upon them, as the following mar
rative proves, taken from the strange
story of castaway life related by Louis
De Rougemont, in the Wide World
Magazine.
In writing about his Malay divers,
lie says OF their extraordinary shark
killing:
Three or four Of our divers would
go out in boat and allow themselves
to drift into a big school of sharks.
Then one man, possessed OF more
nerve than the rest, would benz over
the side and smartly prick the first
shark he came across with spear
taken out for the purpose. The mo-
ment he had succeeded in this the
other occupants of the boat would
commence yelling and bowling at the
top of their voices, at the same time
beating the water with their paddles,
in order to frighten away the sharks.
This invariably succeeded, but, amaz-
ing to relate, the shark that had been
pricked always came back alone
few minutes later to see what it was
that had pricked him. When he is
seen coming in the direction OF the
boat, the Malay who has accosted him
in this way quietly dives overheard,
armed only with his small knife and
a short stick of hard wood, exactly
like a butchers skewer, about five
inches in length, and pointed at each
end,
"The man floats stationary on the
surface of the sea, and, naturally, the
shark makes for him. As the creature
rolls over to bite, the willy Malay
glides out of his way with few deft
strokes of the left hand, while with
the right he deliberately plants the
pointed skewer in an upright position
between the open jaws of the ex-
pectant shark. The result is simple,
but surprising. The shark is, of
course, unable to close his mouth, and
the water just rushes down his throat
and browns him. Needless to re-
mark, it requires the greatest possible
GOODNESS and nerve to kill shark in
this way, but the Malays look upon it
as favorite recreation and an excit-
ing sport. When the monster is
dead its slayer dexterously climbs on
to its back saddlewise, and then, dig
ging his knife into the sharks head to
serve as q support and means of bal
ance, the Malay uses his own legs as
paddles and so rides the carcass, so
to speak, back to the boat"

Protecting Tim othy Sod.

Timothy grass grows very slowly
when it is cut after it gets into full
head. The stubble remains long time
exposed to blazing suns during the
hottest period of the year, and in this
time the sod, unless somehow protect
ed, is apt to be so injured that the
growth the following year will be de-
creased. The best method of protect
ing timothy sod is, of course, to sprinkle
q little rotted manure over it. This
used to be objected to by some, who
believed that much of the ammonia in
the manure will be lost by exposure
during hot weather. But the ammonia
is only formed while manure is rot
ting. After fermentation ceases, what
nitrogen the manure contains is III the
form of nitrate, which is soluble in
water but which does not easily eva i.
porate. Even if the manure is wholly
unfermented there is no loss of ammo
MIA. 1t simply dries mp except as rains
set it to fermenting again. If the rain
continues long or is heavy it is more
likely to wash nitrogenous fertility
into the soil than to liberate it in the
atmosphere.
There is very rarely any smell OF
ammonia on a manured hay stubble.
Therefore, there is not probably any
loss of fertilizing material by evapor-
alton. But if manure cannot be OBJ
tanned, grass stubble can be other
wise effectually protected, What it
needs most is something to keep the
sun from drying up the grass roots
near the surface. A thin covering of
any fine substance, like road dust or
even coal ashes, will answer this pur-
pose. Of these we like the road dust
much the best, as it contains the ex-
crement of horses and has most
manurial value. But q dressing of
muck answers IN excellent purpose,
and is less likely to harden than is
ordinary road dust The muck if fine
enough to spread evenly makes coat
ing over the surface soil that keeps
the grass roots moist, and it also lets
the rain soak down as fast as it comes,
besides by its porosity preventing i;
from evaporating.
Even if no manure can be had, and
it is deemed too much labor to cart
fine muck or other soil on meadow
stubble, the same result may be
reached by narrowing the surface, SO
as to stir the surface soil. 1t will
break many grass roots. and if done
in a dry time it may look as if the
grass was injured. But SO soon as a
heavy rain comes the narrowed stub
BILE will very soon turn green, and the
yield next year will be better than it
would be if nothing had been done to
it.. Still, it is much greater advan-
tage if some fine manure or mineral
fertilizer is spread over the surface
before it is to be owed.-American
Acriculturist.

Shirt Waists For Little Girls.

All shirt waists should be made as
simply as possible for children. The
rows of bias tucks are quite too old,
and any attempt at trimming entirely
spoils the childish effect. The best
pattern has little yoke at the back,
a very narrow yoke in front, and suf-
fcient fulness in front to take away
that fiat look that is so trying to a
slender child. They have the bishop
sleeve, but quite small, with stiff
cuff. The.shirt waist should be made
with the buttons, not to wear with
studs. A little linen collar can be
worn, or a stock; but the prettiest
shirt waists are those which are worn
with the soft silk Windsor ties of diff
ferent colorings as mothers generally
prefer.
The plain colored waists are the
smartest looking, but not the best.
There is kind of Madras with white
ground and narrow stripe of blue or
pink that defes the attempt of the
laundress to fade it out. Then there
are the linen, or wood-colors rather,
that wear splendidly, and look very
we'll with the linen skirts. A ribbon
belt is better style than leather one
for little girls to wear. 1t should be
put twice around the waist and fasten
in front with a bow. The watered
ribbon about fingers width is the
best to use.
All white shirt waists look very cum
ming with the white duck skirts, but
are really a trife old. White frocks
are very sweet, and most appropriate
for children; but they should be elab-
crate in design. 1t is mistake to
make them in a severe style. The
Roman silk makes very pretty little
shirt waists for children, and the lit
tie fine checks also look well to wear
on cool days with serge skirts. The
Roman silks are very thin taffetas, as
q rule, and will not stand much hard
wear; but they can be worn as The
season advances under Eton Jackets
Or with REFERS. For present wear,
however, the Madras, the ginghams,
and the percale waists are the best
made on the simple lines already de-
scriDed. d.-Harper's Bazaar.
