weak and Crippled Chicks.

Often, from various causes, the
young chicks are weak or deformed,
and we are puzzled to know just what
to do with them. From past expert
ence, I, for my part, think IL far bet
ter to at once kill all such. They, in
most cases, die anyway after few
days, and are worthless even should
they live.
The deformity, as rule, is Inherit
ed, the egg germ being weak, and from
such IL is impossible to get strong
fowls.
The thrifty chicks will hatch about
the nineteenth or twentieth day, and
will be ready to leave the nest on the
evening of the twenty-frst. 1t will
give them better chance if all Grip
Piles are disposed Of at once.-W. H.
Cambron, in Farm and Home.

Fashion Notes.

iChiffonne straw hats are already
worn with new costumes.
Bordered fabrics, by the yard or
imported in robe patterns, are greatly
in evidence among both spring and
summer dress materials.
The latest fad in hair dressing is TO
lower the pompadour directly in front
and pull the tresses out very full and
fluffy at the sides, whore they cover
the ears.
The latest cycling costumes show .
preference for black and the dark
shades OF blue and green, rather than
the light fawn and tan shades which
have been so much worn.
Yale blue is one of the popular
colors in wool gowns for children.
They are made with blouse waist
and guimpe neck, or with q blouse
front and Eton jacket decorated with
braid.
Very stylish and elegant costumes
are made Of the new material called
drap de Chine, braiding being O ia:
vored decoration on the drop skirt,
overdress and tucked round waist or
open jacket.
"Wilhelmina" yellow is deep or
ange color thatIu just now seems quite
likely to become as much the fashion
in portions of dress and millinery as
the psler Isabella" yellow became
in days Of yore.
Satin.faced woods ip heather mixed
colors Of beautiful quality and gener-
ous width are very much used for
skirt and jacket suits, tailor skirts to
wear with various shirt waists, and
for princess dresses and redingo.e
costumes for travelling, shopping and
the promenade.
Circular shaped cape collars apd
pelerines, with and without scarf

The Agricultural Department has
just issued bulletin on the San Jose
scale in 1896-97, prepared by Ento-
mologist l.. o. Howard. 1t is Of
much interest ct this time because Of
the recent edict OF the German Govern
ment prohibiting the importation Of
living plants, fruits, etc., because Of
the alleged discovery Of the scale on
peas shipped from California. The
present bulletin is supplemental to
one on the same subject published in
January, 1896, which contained a,his-
tory Of the eastern occurrences Of tho
insect down to December, 1895.
Never, it is said, in the history Of
economic entomology in the United
States has single species OF insect
excited SO much interest as the San
Jose scale. In this light of what we
know, the bulletin says, our actual
knowledge OF the distribution Of the
scale in the East in the fall Of 1896
was comparatively slight. 1t was then
reported as occurring in the twenty
States, but in comparatively few To-
calities in each, with the single excep-
tion Of New Jersey. In 1s96-97 actual
field inspection in Virginia, Maryland,
Illinois, Ohio. Georgia and several
others showed that in these States the
insect was nearly as widespread as in
New Jersey, while twelve States and
the District OF Columbia have been
added to the number containing in.
tested points.
The pest also was found in lower
Ontario in 1897, and the Dominion
Government is considering the ques-
tion Of legislation on the subject. A
list of fifty-five fruit aud shade trees
and ornamental shrubs affected by tho
pest is given. Considerable space is
devoted to discussion of the ROM
ediss suggested to kill the pest.

Pleasures of n Princess.


Tire tuft hunting heiress may take
gloomy pleasure in hearing some
thing about the Princess Clementine
Of Belgium, who, it is said, is engaged
to her cousin, Prince Albert Leopold
Clement Maria Meinrod, heir to the
Belgium throne, who is touring in this
country. The princess is 20 years
old-five years older than the prince
and as she is the daughter of the
king she has less fun and liberty than
the poorest peasant girl. Her pleas
ures, works and studies are laid out
for her and she is obliged to follow
them like school girl. She rises at
$50 winter and summer, whether she
likes il or not, At 7 she attends mass
with the queen in the palace chapel.
After breakfast she goes for walk or
drive, always accompanied by lady
in-waiting. While at home with the
queen she does not even have the privil-
ege Of selecting her own hats and gowns
or receiving her special friends. At
the court balls she is not allowed to
dance alone with one partner, joining
in the quadrilles only. But when the
poor princess has the good fortune to
travel with the king she has perfect
freedom and makes up for the petty
tyrannies of home life. The king is
exceedingly fond of his youngest
daughter, and they take little jour-
neys to Paris and Holland OCCASION
ally, like two very jolly comrades. -

SPRAYING with Kerosene Emulation.


Kerosene emulsion is one OF the
most valuable insecticides we have and
as it may be easily made and applied,
its use should be general on the farm
and we'll understood. It is made by
dissolving one-half pound of common
hard soap in one gallon OF boiling
water. Remove from the fire while
boiling and add two gallons Of kero-
sene, converting the mixture into an
emulsion by passing it through a
force pump with spray nozzle back
into the same vessel, continuing the
operation until it appears like thick
cream, and the oil does not rise to the
surface.
Used to kill the common insects
during the growing season, the emul-
sion is diluted one part to ten Of
water, the dilution being greater
when the insects are small. Used on
animals the dilution is one part Of
emulsion to eight or ten of water. II
must be applied thoroughly, as it is
effective only when it comes in direct
contact with the insect. A spray
pump is the only proper method Of
applying the emulsion, and the finer
the spray the more effective it will be.
Many plants and young trees could be
saved from scale and other insect en-
emies il this simple remedy was sp-
piled in time, and in this age Of
numerous and annoying as we'll as
dangerous insect enemies, the farmer
or fruit-grower who goes without
spraying outfit is running risk he
can i'll afford.

studied medicine, attended to the
mans injury, and then, with her com.
panion, assisted him to reach his
cabin.
Later on the queen called to see
how her patient was. "Then you are
doctor, madam, since you know how
to take care of me?" asked the wood
cutter, who did not know his bene-
factress. "Yes, my good man." was
the reply. 81 am sorry for that, |"
continued the wood cutter, because
l will never be able to pay all I owe
you. But you must give me your
address, and as soon as 1 can go out
will bring you basket of fresh eggs
and butter by way of thanks" The
queen replied evasively, and the sur
prise of the wood cutter may be iniag-
ined when he learned the rank of his
lady physician.
The queen of the Belgians is cred
tied with many unconventional expe.
riences. 1t is said that while passing
the summer at Spa she was given to
taking long rides in pony cart, ac-
companied by the Princess Clemen-
tine. On one of these excursions they
stopped at farmhouse to buy glass
of milk.
Nobody butan old paralyzed woman
was in the house, and she replied that
no milk was left in the jugs, and that
she was unable TO go to milk COW.
"Never mind" said the queen, ''if
you will allow me, 1 will go to the
pasture. Just tell me where the jugs
are" "But, my dear lady, you are
from the town, and you will never be
able to milk cow" objected the old
woman. She was, however, mis-.
taken, for little later her majesty
returned with half filed jug.
Meantime Princess Clementine had
laid on the table three bowls, loaf
and the needful knives and plates.
The old farmers wife was served by
the princess, who, it appears, greatly
enjoyed the adventure.

wife of the British ambassador at Ber-

The Empress Elizabeth of Austria

No sincere and thinking man has
been able to understand why Han.
ma, Elkins, Morgan and company
were so strenuously opposed to the
recognition of the independence Of
Cuba. 1t seemed apparent to every
body that if our country was to go
to war with Spain it would be bet.
ter to secure the cooperation of the
republic of Cuba and its liberated
people than to begin a war with
that people still a colony of Spain.
But few have been able to perceive
why such combination was FORM
ed as prevented congress from in
sisting upon recognizing the inde-
pendence of Cuba.
The reason for this successful op-
position to the recognition of the
Cuban republic in view of the well
known desire of four -fifths of the
members of both senate and house
Representatives is now beginning
to be understood. 1t Is no longer a
secret in Washington that Elkins,
Hanna, Pierpont Morgan, John ].

In Memory

HIS Mother.

Dearest Walter, thou art gone from us,
Thy gentle spirit has flown,
From earth TO that glorious heaven Of rest
To live in that beautiful home.
That beautiful home OF the soul,
Where loved ones before thee has gone
To await your coming, and one by one
We will all be gathered home.
Walter has gone, alb and must II be
That our own dear boy has gone,
Thou was too good. thou couid'st not stay
Here in this earthly home.
Oh why mnst we give thee up,
How can we let thee go.
whv must we drink of this bitter cup
This bitter cup Of woe.
We miss thee in our home dear Walter,
We miss thee everywhere
Thou was all TO us, 90 brave, SO true,
Our jewel bright and fair.
We miss the sunshine in thy face,
Thy fond and earnest care
We miss thy kind and willing hand
But thou shalt reign In that world SO fair,
Thou was lovely In life, lovely in death,
Peaceful thy slumber amidst the flowers
fair,
The beautiful offerings of thy many friends
Who shall cherish thy memory here.
Oh death what hast thou done,
Again thou hast entered our home,
Thou hast broken once more the tender tie
And the grave another victory has won.
First it took our little Clarence,
A lovely bud so fair,
Transplanted 1t on heavenly soil
To bloom forever there.
Again IL has taken precious flower,
Our own dear Walter, SO good and kind.
Conveyed him hence to Eden's bower
A brighter gem there TO shine.
Perhaps the next the ripening grain,
Will be gathered In the sheaves,
The lovely spring bud the sweet summer
bloom,
And then the Autumn leaves.
For death rides on every passing breeze
And birds in every flower,
Each season has Its own disease
Its perils every hour.
Our eyes have seen the rosy light,
or youths soft cheek d cay,
And fate descend in sudden night
On childhood's opening day.
Why weep at death, life is so much sadder,
Life with lis bitter tears
With its bhghted hopes and many sorrows,
Its sad sweet longings and its fears.
Tt @ loved ones sleeping there 30 sweetly,
The calm sweet smile on their dear face,
Would they take again their life In their
keeping
To feel their heartbeat in its same old
place.
Ah! no, for them all is Joy and gladness,
There is no more sorrow and pain,
No silent partings over loved ones
That they fain would clasp again.
Then why should we weep when the weary
ones rest
In the arms of Jesus supreme,
In the mansions of glory prepared for the
blest,
For death is no more than dream.
ONLY dream, only dream,
And glory beyond the dark stream,
How peaceful their slumber how happy
their waking
For death Is no more than q dream.
