In the Way of Hats.

There are to be many fancy braids
IN hats for the coming season. Broad
lace straws, with cloth, will be made
up to suit individual styles. Smooth
braids are also to be in favor and the
Milan and French chip will see ser
vice. Lame and Batavia cloths will
be used and folded chiffons and tulles
and chiffon ribbons will be woven into
the fashionable hats. The Scotch tar
tan will make it's appearance, to be
accepted or declined according to in
dividual opinion.
Pattern hats in fancy braids show
only the rim below the flowers which
are massed upon them, covering them
almost entirely. They are pretty and
becoming hats, but they cost some
thing. There are broad, low crowns
in hats and there are tall, tapering
crowns and wide bell crowns, and the
Tam" is also appearing i'll straw.
There is the sailor, trimmed in all sorts
and conditions of ways, and n new

Madames and mademoiselles, get out
your mother of-pearl buckles. They
are the things for your hats this year,
and if they have cut steel ornaments
SO much the better. Rhinestones will
also be an addition, or rhinestones
alone will be pretty as we'll as fashion
able. The mock jewels are still to the
fore, and turquois is most desirable
when set in brilliants. Dull silver
setting to all white stones is an adj.
dition.
Gold and silvered spangled net and
tulle IRE to be found in dressy hats
and bonnets. Nile green, shrimp
pink, cherry red, geranium, turquois
and periwinkle blue, dahlia, and deep
orange shades are prevalent, with the
soft neutral tints which were so charm
ing during the winter. Entire black
is as attractive and chic as anything
that can he worn in hats, with jewel
or two to set it off.
Ostrich plumes have the Gaines
borough sweep at the left side of the
hat, and do not, as rule, lose their
distinction by being combined with
flowers. Rosettes have pretty style

The rose is to be found in all the
variations of color, from brown through

writes thus to the Canadian Sports
man: Some years ago we adopted n
method that was in n measure new TO
us. but has proved highly satisfactory
and Improbable, and nothing would
induce us TO return TO the old system.
We employ forty horses about our
mills here in the summer season. In
the rear Of our stables we have n feed
room where our cut straw for bedding
ana our cut hay, oats and ground
iced arc kept; and here we have
Two mixing boxes where the rations
Tor the horses are mixed before feed
ing.
The cut hay is put into these boxes
and IS thoroughly mixed with the wet
hay, one-half pound bran and five
pounds ground oats and barley TO each
horse night aud morning, and four
pounds dry oats only at noon.
Our horses are generally Of large
size and are doing excessively hard
work and we found this ration too
small for them, and VIC gradually in
creased IT until we have settled down
to this. Five pounds hay, five pounds
ground grain and ouo-hplf pound bran
10 each horse morning aud night, and
eight pounds dry oats only NJ noon, no
hay, and this we find ample for the
largest class Of horses doing tho most
excessive work.
Our saving is at least ten pounds
hay per day for each horse and six

Hens Should BE Kept Busy.

Flying over fence on the part of
hens Is matter of education. A flock
in yard may be able to go over the
fence, but do not know it; they are
afraid to attempt it. But let one hen
go over and she will be found outside
every day, and will soon teach all of
the others. A fence seven feet high
is sufficient. If the hens go over it
they will also go over nine-foot
fence, or fourteen-foot fence. Like
human beings it depends on how they
are raised. To keep hens from fly
ing, make them work. Give them
something to do. Idleness is the
cause of all vices among poultry, such
as feather pulling, flying, egg eating,
etc.-Southern Farmer.

a Strong Young Order.

Connecticut has recently organ
lied State Federation of Wcmen's
Clubs, representing a membership of
thirty-seven clubs and about 100
women. The organization was practi-
cally effected at Bridgeport last
spring, where the women's clubs of
Connecticut assembled at the invita-
ton of the Literary Club of that city.
The first regular meeting was held on
December 8, Mt Bridgeport, aud gave
evidence of deep interest on the part
of all concerned aud a bright outlook
for the future. Mrs. 7. X. Noble, of
Norwalk, is the President of the State
federation; Mrs. Fl. II. Pyle, Of
Bridgeport, President; Mrs. ID.

Natures Balloons.

The Island of fire, known by the IA.
tives rs THE Home of the Iiot Devils"
is recent discovery in Java. In the
center of n huge lake of boiling mud
and slime exists n phenomenon abso-
iutely unique, and so wonderful that
tourists brave the difficulties of the
long journey inland simply to SEQ II.
Scores of enormous bubbles are formed
in the sticky slime by the gases which
arise from the lower depths, and these
grow ana increase to an enormous size,
looking like nothing so much as the
large model balloons sent up sometimes
to ascertain the direction of the wind.
These bubbles, some OF them, attain n
diameter of five or six feet before they
burst, which they do with n loud explo-
sion. The sounds are described as re-
sembllng a constant series of heavy
platoon firing.

Sets of buckles in steel, gold or sill

for the collar, one for the finishing
touch at revers or end of necktie, and
one for the belt.
Lace shawls are also used for skirt
drapery over satin dinner gowns. The
centre is cut enough to admit the
waist, and the points fall in front, at
the back, and at either side.
Tucks as yet have lost none of their
prestige in the shuttle of fashion which
is going on, aud on bodices and skirts
are quite as lavishly tucked as ever.
Yet their common use necessitates
some other mode of trimming il YOU

The shawl-shaped cape made of
black lace over colored silk is one Of
the spring novelties in wraps, and the
edges are finished with ruches of chif-

Care of the Arms.

They should be washed from the
arm-pits down each night in hot water
with teaspoonful of ammonia TO the
quart, and good soap, with towel fric-
ton afterward, and exercised by
bringing them together at full length
above the head for five minutes at a
time, whenever convenient. Very
likely long-sleeved silk undervest
will be advisable to equalize circula-
ton. Do not use pomade to whiten
the arms. Squeeze the juice OF three
lemons into pint of hot milk; wash
the arms very clean and sponge them
with the lotion. When nearly dry
wash off With warm water and soap.
Repeat this often as you like for days,
until the skin whitens to suit. The
lemon and milk may be covered in n
cool place and used several times, as
it is better for standing. New York

Preserving tho Grain OF Butter.

Purchasers of the best grades of
butter demand that the grain of the
product be up to the standard, and
this is not matter with which the
care or feed of the animal has any
thing to do, but depends wholly on
the management of the butter before
churning and during that process. 1t
consists of Kidding the butter of but
termilk and Incorporating in it the
proper amount of salt without break
ing the natural grenules of fat. In
short, to secure the proper grain in
the butter the churning should be
stopped when the butter granules are
the size of wheat grains. Handle and
work the butter as little as possible
and you will do much to preserve the
grain so desirable Atlanta Journal.

Dressed Youthru,ly Mt seveptv-sv..

Mrs. Dorothy Howard, who died at
Jeffersonville, Ind, last summer, was
one of the most eccentric women in
the State. She was seventy-hve years
of age and dressed as youthfully aud
gayly as girl of fifteen. At her death
she had one hundred and seventy five
gowns of the finest quality, innumer-
able skirts, waists and other wearing
apparel. There was a large crowd Mt
the auction sale of her effects, and the
bidding was lively to secure some of
the handsome silk gowns, which had
never been worn. Her mania was to
spend her entire income for costly
clothing.

With the bloom and beauty Of the season.
Its balmy airs and delightful temperature,
we feel like living with new life. and are
therefore often very careless in taking care
OF ourselves. 1t is this forgetfulness that
lays us liable to attacks OF rheumatism, the
more liable because we think there Is little
danger OF its coming on, but rheumatism Is
an easy thing TO take and sometimes a hard
thing to get rid OF unless we take the advice

pounds grain for each. Not only is
this the case, but our horses are
healthier and better in every way.
Under the old system it was com.
mon thing for us to lose from one to
five horses every summer and some
times even more, with collie and in
Illumination, but in the past seven sum-
mers under our new system, not only
have we not lost one horse, but We
have not had sick horse.
A much less ration than we feed
would be ample for farm horses or for
any horses doing ordinary work. We
may add also, that with this system of
feeding hay, together with the free
use of wheat bran and little ground
oats mixed with it, we find we can
develop colts in a manner that we have
never seen them developed before.
