THE OMAHA EXPOSITION.
All the Efforts of the Management Now Bent on Making the Opening
 success.

OMAHA, Neb. May 31.-The exposi- tion management issued instructions that all work on the grounds cease to. night 1t is the desire of the manage. ment that all the energies of the em ployes be directed toward the success of the opening. Some details of minor importance remain incomplete as far as the grounds are concerned, but this feature is not of sufficient magnitude to interfere in any way with the dedicatory ceremonies. For several nights 300 men have been con tinuously employed on the grounds preparing for the grand opening. The surroundings have been rem dered as light as day by the numer- ous electric lights. These extra ef- forts have been largely instrumental in bringing the enterprise to almost completion. Many delegations of va- rious states have already arrived to participate in the initial exercises to- morrow. After the formal dedica- tions the exposition executive officials will banquet the guests of the exposi- tion on the grounds. The spread will be an informal affair.

FIRST CALL NOW FILLED.
Uncle sam Has 125,OOo Men in Fighting Trim-OnIy Three States Delinquent
 and They Are Not to Blame.

WASHINGTON, May Sl.--Adjt. Gen. Corbin said yesterday that 121, ,500 troops had been mustered into the volunteer army under the call for 125,- 900 men and that the remaining $500 men were in state camps ready for the visit of the mastering officers. He said that all the states and territories had filled their quota so far as the re- cruiting of the troops is concerned, and that while three states were appar- ently behind, it was not their fault, but was due to the inability of the mastering officers to complete their work. The apparent shortage is di- vided among the states of Iowa, Mis- sissippi and North Carolina. The troops in these states are in camp, however, awaiting the action of the government officers, and will be mus tered into the volunteer army in day or two.

PLANTING OUT ROSES.
Some Points for the Housewife to Observe When Setting Ont
 Her Plants.

In the cultivation of roses much de- bends on the start. In the first place procure the best plants possible for planting, not necessarily the largest, the oldest or the finest sorts at highest prices, but endeavor to obtain such plants as are stocky, we'll rooted natur- ally strong growers, and such as by na- ture are apt to be free from disease. A good rule, however, would be to plant as soon as all dan- ger of frost is over and the ground is warm. Nothing is gained by putting out plants while the ground is cold and there is likelihood of frost or very cold nights. Field-grown roses must necessarily be planted out earlier than pot~grown stock, as they do best when planted in dormant condition. They also may require some pruning, if not already pruned when sent out by the nurseryman or florist. First, spade up the soil to depth of IS inches, or, as the gardener would say, two spades deep," which depth may seem to the novice to be rather unnecessary, but it is quite essential that the roots have plenty of room in which to work. Second, remove from the bed one-third of the soil and replace it with the same bulk of well-rotted manure (well-rotted COW manure is unexcelled for this pur- pose), in which has been incorporated some finely chopped sod. Spade this compost thoroughly into the sod in the bed, and with the back of the spade mash all clods or Jumps. Besr in mind that this spading and working of the soil must only be done when the soil is in good condition as regards moist ure, for if the soil is worked when pasty or too wet, the chances are that it will be ruined for the whole season, until the action of frost and winter weather imparts to it again its natural friable- ness.
 In setting out the roses in the bed do not forget the all-important firming of the soil about the base of the plants, This should be done by trodding the soil we'll with the feet, immediately about the basr of each plant, but not over all the sui ice of the bed.-Wom- ans Home Cor .anion.

FEW NEW REGIMENTS.
Needed to Recruit Existing Regi- ments to the Maximum.

WASHINGTON, May si.-Adjt Gen. Corbin said that it had been definitely settled to use about 5O,OO0 of the vol unteers to be raised under the new call in filling out deficient regiments al- ready organized under the old call. It would take about that number, he thought, to fill each company up to the maximum limit of 106 men. The remaining 25 900 would be organized into regiments of three battalions each and distributed among the states and territories in exactly the same propor- tion as under the first call.

Taking Air Without Going Out.

Elderly people and others who may be temporarily house-bound and pre- vented from enjoying a regular daily stroll outdoors can devise fair substi- ute as follows: Bundle up as if for the usual constitutional, select a large sunny room, preferably at the top of the house, open wide the windows, shut off the heat and move around briskly, going to the window and inhaling the fresh air deeply through the nostrils. We have often called attention to the fact that house air, with its many im- purities, overloaded condition and gem eral lifelessness, is one of the principal predisposing causes to colds and ca- tarrhal affections. Where patient or invalid is confined to bed, if the shoul- ders are kept we'll covered and the head lightly protected, the windows may be opened and the room flushed with fresh air without any special risk, provided the current does not strike them too directly. The danger from want of proper ventilation is decidedly greater.
 Deep inhalations of air at the open window, taken gently through the nose, impart an enlivening and tonic influence to the whole nervous system, which can soon be demonstrated by a personal xperment-Health Magazine.

COTTC I DRESSES.
A Good SupEs!y of Them Should Be Made Up Eerly in the
 Season.

Make good supply of plain cotton dresses and aprons early in the season, before it is time to prepare more elab- crate gowns. Skirts and all summer underwear should be certainly out of the way before May. There is nothing gained and a great deal lost in putting off this plain sewing until late. If this work is done early in the spring it will not be half so hard to do as it is if it is left until the warm days of late spring or early summer. It saves time, when several persons are working to- gether to adopt the method of shops and each one take one part of the work. The cutter should cut, the hemmer hem, and the stitcher use the machine. It saves time, even when one person is working, to cut out number of gar ments of the same kind at once and do first all the work of one kind on them; then all the work of another, until the work on all is done. There is always time lost in changing work-in get ting ones hand in again" A woman who is sewing every day soon finds that her hands lose their cunning if she drops her work for any length of time, and it takes some time before she can do it as we'll as before The moral, therefore, is play when you play, rest when the rest time comes, but work steadily at any task you have to do when you do work, if you would do your work with the least labor. It is the dropping of work and picking it up again that wears on the strength more than steady labor.-N. Y. Tribune.

BERLIN, June %, 1893
Each year tickle Fashion shows despotic
favoritism to some particular style of gar
ment, or some ECCENTRIC toilet accessory
some particular fit of bodice or hang Of
skirt, some popularity OF trimming, which
she holds up to her radmiring imitators for
a brief time and casts into most obscure
oblivion afterwards Is
Just at present 1t Is the narrow baby rib
bon which must trim everything that is
fashionable. Baby, ribbon is made use of
on all materials for all occasions. 1t is
found on lawns and linens, silks and wool
ems, laces and velyets. and it certainly
deserves a long-lived prominence, for it is
as dainty as it is practical
A pretty illustration of this garniture is
shown in our design Of a fashionable
promenade gown OF gray Venetian cloth.
The skirt of silver gray Venetian cloth
shows the long pointed. tight-fitting yoke
with very full serpentine fiounce lined with
white taffeta. A narrow piping of darker
gray velvet edges the skirt yoke.
The graceful bodice of silver gray Vene-
ton cloth has loose folds in front, which
are overlapped by reveres of heavy yellow
guipure lace, the design of which is out
lined by gathered white baby ribbon. These
lace leveres, which expose in front a tucked
vest of white taffeta, finish at the back IN
a wide sailor collar falling over another
larger sailor collar Of darker gray miroir
velvet. deliberately edged and embroidered
with crimped baby ribbon and steel beads.
The velvet collar forms caps over the
shoulder and ends in two slender points

From the San Francisco Chronicle
This is bound to be a dry year. Scarcely
any rain is to fall during the next twelve
month. At least, that is what the odd man
OF the mountain" says. and the Indians say
that he never fails as a weather prophet
The old man of the mountain is a sDecies
OF sagebrush, so called on account of the
sort gray top that forms on IL in the fall Of
the year. In some parts of the state il is
simply called "old man" and in others
'maidenhair sage" Its scientific name is
Artemisia California.
For countless moons many of the Indian
tribes of this state have looked upon this
plant as the 81 eatest weather prophet that
ever existed. Will the season be wet CT
dry? Ask the old man.
This Is easy to do. but you must know a
little OF his language before you can tell
what he says. The old man speaks with his
roots. When there is to be plenty OF rain
his roots are short and when there is to be
little rain his roots ar. long.
The old man knows there will be no water
from above, so he goes below for IL. How
aces a senseless plant know there is to be
no rain? By the same unknown force that
caused seed pods to be thick before a long.
cold winter while they are thin when the
winter is to be mild.
All over the hillsides of Marin county can
be found specimens Of old man, and it's
roots are longer now than they have ever
baen known to be before. At the beginning
twelve inches high are about six inches
long. This year the same plant will be
found to have roots as mucn as eighteen
inches long.
