Sweet Bags for Scenting Linen.

Every self-respecting housewife
likes to have her table and house linen
smelling of sweet aromatic odors, so 1
am giving n recipe for making these
scent bags economically. Take equal
quantities of powdered cloves, mace,
nutmeg and cinnamon. Powder the
dried leaves of mint, balm, southern
wood, ground ivy, laurel, sweet mar
joram, hyssop and rosemary, so that
they form an equal weight with the
above. Then add half as much of
chips of cassia, juniper, sandalwood
and rosewood, also powdered root of
angelica orris. The mixture will be
completed by quarter as much amber
girls and musk. All these things
should be we'll mixed and then put up
in little bags of sateen, which should
be placed between the clothes in the
clothes press.

Fashion Fancies.

Chiffon straw hats are worn with
new costumes.
Dainty ribbons with gauze borders
come in all the pretty colors.
Checks appear to be the leading
style for dress silks, as well as for
necktie silks.
Bordered fabrics, by the yard or
imported in robe patterns, are greatly
in evidence among summer dress ma
terials.
Piaids in clannish colors and Roman
striped ginghams are greatly used for
shirt waists, especially for golfng and
cycling.
Bayadere stripes and plaids in rib
bons are shown in large quantities, the
former for gowns and the latter for
children's hats.
Corduroy and uncut velvets in gray
are fashionable, this color seeming to
have won its way into the hearts of
fashionable women.
Over third of all the goods ordered
from Wholesale firms is in plain fab
RIGS, which fact augurs well for the
supremacy Of the tailor made suit.
Every we'll dressed woman feels the
need of such costume, and is glad
to find new materials of suitable color,
texture and pattern.
In the new materials shown are
changeable and plain poplins, whip
cords, plain armure effects, drap d'ete,
drap de Paris and plain jacquards. In
extreme novelties are plaids, bayadere
goods, plain silk and wool cloths, with
raised silk and braidwork, and others
with crinkled face of fine overshot
silk mixtures.
Shaded, striped and figured taffetas
are still leading silks for Innings, the
bayadere and raye stripes being al
most too new to be called popular as
yet. The secret Of the delightful
frou frou that proclaims without q
doubt the silken lining and under
skirt can never be obtained, however,
from any of these. Only plain, one
shade taffeta, with plenty of dressing
for both lining and petticoat, will pro-
duce the desired effect.
The chapeau par excellence is the
English walking hat. The sailor
model, in its new, improved outlines,
is not deposed by this very popular
hat, however, nor will it hold less
important position later on; but for
the present the English shape has the
innings of the milliners. This hat is
sufficiently varied in its style and con-
tour to adapt itself to all types Of
faces, for while the difference in the
brim and crown is not at all pro-
nounced, the manner of arranging the
trimmings upon the hat for different
people quickly transform its outlines
| to the effect desired.

The Princesses of spnIn.

The daughters Of the Queen Regent
of Spain are brought up much more
simply than was formerly thought
right for Spanish infantas, and they
are allowed more liberty. Their royal
highnesses are often to be met walk
ing on the public promenade in Mad
rid, with their attendants, among the
other frequenters of that favorite
walk. The princesses are almost al-
ways accompanied by their greatest
friend, the Donna Sol, the only
daughter of the Duke and1 Duchess
of Alba. The duke and duchess, who
have precedence of all Spanish mobiles,
take their place Immediately behind
the princes and princesses of the
blood royal, and their children have
always been the favorite companions
of the little king of Spain and his sis
ters. The Duke of Alba is a nephew
of the ex-Empress Eugenie, his
mother having been the sister of her
majesty. The present Duchess of
Alba, who is great sportswomap, has
the reputation of being the proudest
woman in Spain. She holds the post
of lady of the palace to the Queen Re-
gent, and has unbounded influence
with her royal mistress.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Ornamental Plants From Seed.

The castor oil bean (ricinus) is one
of the best of ornamental leaved
plants which may be grown from seed
and bloom the first year. They grow
rapidly and make fine hedge or
screen II planted in open rich soil in
dry situation. As the young plants do
not bear transplanting we'll the seed
should be planted directly where the
plant is to remain, in the open ground,
when the weather becomes warm. The
richer the soil the more rapid the
growth of the plant and the more
brilliant the color of foliage and
stalk. According to variety the plants
grow from six to eight feet high, and
have foliage of shades of green, red
and purple. Nicotina afiinis is also
readily grown from seed. The plant
grows to a height of three or four
feet, its broad green leives and bios
SONS OF white being very attractive.
The soil should be rich and WE'LL
drained. A packet Of seeds of each
variety, or rather class, costing ten
cents for the. best variety, will furnish
display equalling more costly palms
and foliage plants.

Sashes In High Favor.

Sashes are in high favor this season.
Nothing adds more grace to an already
graceful, slender figure than a sash
tied around the waist, with long ends
at the side or back. The handsomest
ones are made of magnificent moire
ribbon, with brocaded stripe run
ming through the centre, and are from
IL to 18 inches in width. The ends
are finished with long silk fringe.
Other moire sashes have insertions of
lace set in straight up and down,
straight across or zig gag, and are
finished with accordion plated chiffon.
White surah sashes with ends of
Roman stripes are also much used,
and so are those of taffeta in delicate
shades. A surah sash has one distinct
advantage over all others-it washes
beautifully and takes dye better than
any other silk.

The attention of the stock breeder
who is striving for improvement in
the character and quality OF his stock
must be directed to the study of the
individual characteristics of his breed
ing animals, with view to ascertain
ing not only their merits and defects,
but the causes Of such discernible in
dividual characteristics, whether they
are hereditary or acquired. Also he
must apply himself to the study of the
indications Of invisible qualities, and
TO testing for such characteristics to
learn IL the invisible qualities are pres
ent as indicated or not. In producing
high-class stock to be used for further
purposes Of improvement attention OF
the breeder must be directed to study
Of ancestry to ascertain what latent
qualities his stock is likely to possess
that the undesirable latent qualities
may be overcome and the best may he
brought into activity and usefulness.
A study of the formation of any
breed brings us to the conclusion that
the value of the breed is due to selec-
ton, the breeding of blood lines and
feeding conditions. To maintain and
strengthen the present degree of ex-
cellence it is necessary to bring to
bear equal method and system. This
can only be accomplished by working
along with nature and building on
strong foundations H. Elmendorf,

Selecting Kid Gloves.

In selecting kid glove for wear
choose fine, but not too fine kid.
Examine the inside of n glove. 1t is
important that the glove be dyed
on the outside only. Wherever
the color of the dye has struck
through the leather there the glove
will be found tender. This is because
the strength of the dye necessary to
color leather is always strong enough
to make it tender if it strikes through
it to the inside. Sometimes the leather
will only show the color at the seam
on the inside. Such glove will pull
out at this seam. 1t is wise to select
O glove of neutral dark tint. Black
gloves as rule do not wear as well
as dark colors. Browns wear we'll; so
do dark grays and the pretty putty
and ecru tints now so fashionable.
In mending glove, avoid using
silk except to darn down piece OF
dress silk the color Of the glove on the
inside of the glove to hold o rent
together. In this case, darn the
parts together with invisible stitches
on the outside. Always sew over
ripped seams with cotton the color OF
the thread used in making the gloves.
Do not use silk to sew ripped seams
or to darn with except when it is
stronger than cotton.

Tilt of the Hat.

The tilt of the hat counts more than
the hat itself at present. Every elab-
crate piece of millinery is meant to be
worn in particular way, and it is
seldom that woman gets anything
like the intended effect without com
petent instruction. Be sure you know
how or else stick to the pretty, straight
brimmed shapes trimmed with ribbon
and clusters of flowers.

Care of Young Pigs.

II young pigs have plenty of exer-
else and the right kind of food there
is no danger of overlooking. A small
quantity of corn ground with wheat or
rye and middlings, and the whole
mixed with milk, is frst-class food
for young pigs. The common field
varieties Of peas are also an excellent
food for pigs, young or old. Sow at
the rate of two bushels per acre and
cover four inches deep, sowing after
the peas are planted three pecks of
oats per acre, we'll narrowed in, to
serve as support for the peas.
The food for pigs of all ages when
not being fatted should be that which
has bulk. Middlings, milk, ground
barley and swill for pigs, and for
shoats and breeding stock, fed in ad-
dition beets OF other roots cooked and
mixed with cut clover hay. For
young pigs, ground oats with the hulls
sifted ont is an excellent food. Have
part of the feeding pen so arranged
that portion of the grain food may
be scattered over it broadcast to give
the pigs exercises in feeding it. A
run of liberal dimensions should be
provided for young pigs il they are
kept in confinement, in order to get
the amount of growth from the feed
given to be profitable, otherwise lib
eral feeding will only result in an ex-
cess of fat before the formation Of the
desired amount of bone and muscle.

Collie in Horses.


It is stated on good authority that

quently made in the spring, and that
invariably causes an attack of indi-
gestion more or less violent. Any
change in food should be brought
about gradually, and so also should
radical changes in the work required
OF the animal. It stands to reason
that horse lightly fed for. two or
three months of winter with but little
work to do is not in fit condition to
put into the field for ten hours work
at heavy plowing Give horses whole
some food regularly and according to
the work done by them. Keep them
from exposure to draughts Of cold air,
especially when very warm; give only
pure water to drink, and they are
practically insured against collie.
Should the collie attack the horse,
the following treatment will give re-
lief in most cases. An injection Of
clear water of the same temperature
of the stable should first be given,
followed by pill made of five drains
of powered Barbados aloes, one DRAM
mercurious chloride and enough lin
seed meal to make stiff pill with the|
addition of little water. Rub belly
and fanks with coarse cloth or sack
ing if the animal is chilled. After
this treatment the horse should not be
worked or violently exercised for al
least twenty-four hours. If the at
tack does not succumb to this treat
ment it is sufficiently severe and dan
gerous to need the immediate service
