pearls or innumerable gold chains, to which are attached quaint diamond pendants. The Frenchwoman sees the great advantage of the stock. She ar ranges the ribbon in very soft folds-I say ribbon, but it may be silk or mule or silk or muslin or whatever she pleases-and then she has a flaring bow just under her chin that gives breadth to her shoulders and brings out the dim pie in the chin and the whiteness of her teeth. You know how thin Sarah Bern hardt used to be? We'll, she always went decollete, but she knew how to manage it all so that the bones were entirely forgotten.
 The saddest sight I ever saw in the way of neclks was that of the thin, scraggy old ladies st the queens draw ing room. You know they must go de- coIlete. In her young days the queen had beautiful neck and shoulders, and she presumes that all English women follow her example in this as in every other respect. As the queen is short she wears feathers to add to her height, and these she forces every other woman to wear. Hence if a woman is seven feet high she is forced by order of the queen to make herself look eight feet by the sllH piuIheS on the top or her col1fure. Many a mother who blushes to think that her own baby sees her bones has to exhibit them in all their awfulnass to the British public or else not be pre- sented, but no self respecting English woman wants to omit this honor.

The next young woman doesn't take the floor. Instead she leans back in her easy chair, looking as if she hadn't either moral or physical strength to be more than perfect picture, and she is telling somebody: "Yes, a certain type of woman wears the rnonocle in Lon don, and of course it is popular here, since women are such donkeys as to wear coats, shirts and waistcoats just like man.

The woman cashier sighed. There were lines of weariness about her mouth, and her eyes had the hard, bright, painfully alert expression which comes from too highly strung nerves. She had been working steadily from early morn until well into dewy eve and the atmosphere of the restaurant in which she sat, perched upon high stool before the desk in the tiny brass birdcagelille counting room, was laden with the fumes of lighted cigars and strong cooking. The door near her swung back and forth, letting in a blast of icy air with every customer in a way to have made any mere man express his dissatisfaction in large, lurid swear words. But the woman cashier only displayed meek satisfaction as she made change for the four thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth impatient

For evening gowns the clinging skirts glittering with jet embroideries remain among the favorite dinner and dance dresses for the season.

The dandelion has already passed into
the hands of the cultivator, and the
cultivated varieties are even Row be-
ing contrasted with their congeners OF
the fields. At the Minnesota, New
York and Vermont stations work has
been done in this line and reports
made. We do not know how many
other stations are at work in this d.
rection. The plant is grown for
greens, which is the use that would
naturally suggest itself, as the people
have used it for that purpose for gener-
atoms. Its root, too, will doubtless be
found to be of value, medicinal or 9TH
erwise. In Minnesota the station re-
ports that the large double-leafed va
riety is by far the best. This variety
Is one of the cultivated ones. The di-
rections given by that station are, to
SOW the seed early in the spring and
cultivate through the summer. mulch
ing 1t lightly during the winter. In
states farther south than Minnesota
the mulching could probably be omit
ted, as the native dandelion will never
freeze out. This only illustrates the
growing tenderness OF plants with cul-
tivation. The plants can be used for
greens in the spring OF the second year.
1t is believed that 1t is best to SOW
the seeds each year, and not depend
on the crops from the roots.
At the New York station some ex-
periments were made to determine
which varieties were The best, the wild
or the cultivated. The wild ones were
found to resolve themselves into four
distinct varieties. AS might be eX-
pected, none of the wild varieties were
at all to be compared to the varieties
that had been cultivated for some gen
erations.

AN AGED VETERAN.
A Detroit Veteran Talks OF the War and
Legacy 1t Left Him.

When the annual reunion of the
G.. A. r. is held, Michigan is always
well represented. Around the camp
fires of the encampment our boys tell
of the hardships they have gone
through and the listener who knows
nothing of war will wonder how they
lived to tell the tale. Few men who
followed old glory and escaped the
shot and shell returned home without
some legacy as a constant reminder of
their war days. Our representative
found veteran o. +. Newcomb, of De-
troit at his place of business, No. 237
Second street. Mr.. Newcomb told him
how the little conqueror had rendered
him invaluable service. We give his
account here and some words of advice
tersely told. He said:
, "A lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies of
90 mules, is not tempting water to
drink, but / was one of many who
drank it. and all of us would have done
so if we had known there was death in
every swallow. This illustrates but
one of the many hardships and priva-
tiops passed through during the civil
war, and it is no wonder that G.. A. X.
men suffer from aches and pains. The
most prevalent of these being due TO
kidney disorders. am pleased to note
agreat many others who passed through
as trying ordeals as |, have now learned
how these troubles can be mitigated.

Notified Altecs.

The Notified Aztec is an exceeding
ly plump fowl with broad shoulders
and breast, says Texas Stock and Farm
Journal. The legs are of medium
length. 1t has much of the compact
ness of body possessed by the Indian
Game, together with the grace of form
belonging to the Black Sumatra. They
are well feathered fowls, the hens hay-
ing a fan-like tail, and the tail Of the
cock carrying full, long sickles. The
color is a black, sprinkled with white
The white shows in the pullets most
strongly about the head and upon the
shoulders, with more or less in the
wings, but after melting the white be-
comes more marked and appears upon
the breast and back and in the tail.
The coloring is very attractive. Their
full, meaty breasts make them an ex-
cellent table fowl, and the chickens
are plump at any age. When mature
the cocks weigh about eight pounds
and the hens weigh roportionately.
The Black AZtecs resemble them In
form and weigh a pound or so heavier
Their size fits them well for the gen.
eral demand of the market. The hens
have only a rudimentary comb, with a
few feathers growing out of it, while
the comb of the cock, when young, Is
almost smooth with the head, and
though 1t enlarges some when matured,
it is always small. The Aztecs are ex-
cellent layers, the eggs being of good
size and usually having a good, strong
shell. The fowls mature early and the
pullets begin to lay when about six
months old and sometimes few weeks
earlier. They are prolific and extreme
ly hardy. They hatch full broods and
the loss of chickens in the broods is
such a small per cent OF the numbers
Matched that it is scarcely worth while
to take 1t into consideration. They
thrive from the start and endure with
out suffering exposure and unfavora-
BILE conditions which few other classes
of pure-bred fowls are able to survive.
One who has had long experience in
handling them says that 1t requires
positive mismanagement to keep them
from thriving.

Potato BLIGHT.

AS the late blight does not come

paying too high rate of insurance.

show that spraying is in itself profit
able. Early blight is almost sure to
appear unless prevented. This APP
