the go-by. So far there has besn little
cep6rmation beyond the sight Of bcca-
sional gowns that include the opposite
treatmept. Women seem to like building
the throat up high, and the new fancy
does not seem likely to catcS on very
well. Yet some Of Its forms Ne very
attractive, and certainly the one chosen
for illustration here was slightly az
fair. The shirt waist girl has been wear
Ing pretty generally this summer soft
pique stocks, and most of her formal
gowns have been either low-throated or
made with soft neck finish. The result
Is that her neck Is rid of the ugly dark
lines which result from linen and other
high stiff collars. So she Is more likely
now to venture dress for fall or win

ly do better than to follow this design.

white broadcloth with scroiled edge and
all-over stitched design. The broadcloth
was further elaborated with bands of
white satin ribbon. The collar had dou-
BILE scroied edge, the scrolling making a
finish at the neck, from which the throat
rose prettily bare.
Double bodices are to be almost as
much worn as double skirts. This Is a
natural result of the desire to multiply
yoke effects, for stylish dressers insist
not only ON Jokes. but on variety in
them. In the first figure of the next
picture is fall gown showing one of the
new double bodices. In front the under
bodice showed to the waist in long

gray-corded silk.

humiliation" OF Trees.

A project in certain French town
issued declaration ordering severe
measures to be taken against divers
malicious persons who amused them
selves by stripping the bark from the
plane trees bordering the public prom
enade. The trees thus mutilated," SO
ran the affiche, present a most pitia-
bic appearance" However, as, In spite
of the projects declaration, the ''mu-
tilation" continued undated, the wor-
thy functionary summoned his head
clerk to consult with him on the mat
ter. Thereupon the clerk informed him
that. as the plane trees themselves
shed their bark every year, It would
be futile to institute proceedings
against such incorrigible offenders. The
clerk seemed amused, but the project
did not: anyway, the notices were re-
moved with more than official dis
dispatch.

clumsily. The desirable figure in sever
al poses and new gowns appears here
with In the first small picture ii is
disclosed in one Of the fall gowns that
employ the new open fish-net. The dress
was in shades of dull red. the low-cut
polonaise of cloth edged with narrow vel
vet being in the deeper shade. Fish-net
Of twisted silk cord in brilliant red was
laid over silk of slightly darker shade
for bodice and sleeves. Shoulder pieces
were of cloth and the little bib-yoke was
plain silk. 1t Is said that these open
nets are to be much used.
The low-cut polonase. on the princess
overskirt effect, made to show deep yoke
of underbodice and edge of underskirt,
are becoming to many figures, and are
just now much worn. 1t is pretty
model for costumes wherein the fnll
touch is desired The princess polonaise
Is made of cloth in some warm shade,
a reddish brown in the costume sketched
here. Its yoke was really half bodice,
including sleeves, and for this the fabric
was orange silk dotted with brown.
Bands Of plain yellow finished the cloth,
which at the edges was cut into care
full shaped points. A stock scarf and
fan bow Of brown silk lawn gave throat
finish, and hat of light brown straw
drawn into fetching shape by spider
bow of brown velvet and trimmed with
bunch of golden wheat supplied the
final touch of fall that just now the

muslin made the yoke, and the whole
dress was trimmed with bands Of the
muslin embroidered in delicate green.
Flounces of embroidered muslin finished
underskirt and edge of overskirt, and
emerald green narrow velvet furnished a
dropped belt. Style and coloring could
be copied in less expensive materials,
without affecting the result much.
Women who can do so are to continue
wearing gowns in princess effect, and
there is reason for this, because il ever
the princess is safe to wear, it may be
risked in some of its present modifica-
tons. This very pretty, smooth cloth
gown had its princess polonaise cut low
to show a skirt to match. This disap-
peared at the sides as the polonaise
dropped to full skirt length at the back.
The trimming on the cloth OF folded self
bands was made to simulate a side fas-
tening of the polonaise. These features
tended to make the severity Of cut less
trying. Yoke and underskirt, Of cloth.
were stitched in all-over design. Not
the least Of the recommendations of the
princess effect, in the eyes of exquisites,
is the fact that it helps to announce SO
plainly the possessor of the newly fash
ionablc sort OF figure.

Wnterinr Plants,

Some plants, to thrive as they should,
require much more water than others,
and on this account. II the best growth
is maintained through !, the summer,
more or less watering will be neces-
sary. But If watering is necessary, II
any considerable amount of benefit Is
secured. 1t is very essential that 1t be
thorough. One or two thorough soak
ings of the soil week around the roots
will be Of much more real benefit to the
growing plants than daily sprinkling
on the surface. One of the best plans
OF watering larger proportion o.
plants is to work the soil into a good
filth, drawing the earth away from the
plant to some extent: then put on water
sufficient to thoroughly wet the soil
and throw over this a thin layer of fine
soil. This acts as a mulch and lessons
evaporation. and large amount Of
benefit is derived and the work needn't
be repeated so often. In nearly all
cases where watering is commenced it
will have to be kept up until there Is a
good rain.-Farmer's Voice.

B. ]. Barnato was very tender heart

at any exhibition Of destitute children
In the streets.
One winter evening when the Lon
don pavements were like glass, and
the air was blurred with fog, he saw
a woman singing in Oxford street; she
was carrying child, perhaps two
years old. Barnato went up to her.
There is a milk shop yonder," said
he. Here Is sixpence. Get some hot
milk for the child"
Then he waited in a doorway, a lit
tie distance of, to see that it was done.
The woman, thinking herself unobserv-
ed, walked into a bar and had some
gin. She gave the child nothing. Bar
nato went over and waited by the door
post till she should come out. When
she appeared, he caught her by the
arm, and was almost voiceless with
anger.
"You-you scoundrelv' he exclaimed.

Snatching the child away from her,

woman, with further donation, and

Skau Gulls.


The natives Of Foula, one Of the Shet-
land Islands, make business Of rear
ing skau gulls in order to rid the island
of the eagles that commit so many
depedations. The magnificent red
sandstone cliffs that skirt the north
western coast became favorite haunt
of the eagles, and in this inaccessible
spot they increased so rapidly that
they became a terror to the farmers
and fishermen who dwell on this iso-
lated spot. The skau gulls are also
strong and fierce, and the invetcrate
foe Of the eagle. In battle the gulls
are nearly always victorious. and so
the inhabitants of Foula hit upon the
novel plan Of feeding and caring for
skau gulls. which, though formidable
to their feathered enemies, are very
peaceable and docile when brought in
contact with man.

Economy with Fallen Apple..

RDD1GS.
There is much waste in the common
practice of turning hogs into orchards
to pick up fruit and make that their
exclusive diet. The hog will soon learn
to eat only the ripened fruit, leaving
that which is wormy. This fruit can
be sold or dried, and If forced to do it
the hog will eat the wormy fruit be-
fore the worm escapes. But to make
this really economical some grain and
milk should be given to hogs in addi-
ton to their fruit diet. This will make
the young pigs grow and will strength
en- their digestion for the exclusive corn
feeding that will come when they are
put I'D to be fattened.

Clearing Fence Corners.

After haying and harvest have been
finished, it is well to 60 around the
fields and cut down weeds next to the
fence that the mower and reaper could
not reach. Since farmers have got out
Of the habit OF swinging the scythe,
fence corners grow up with shrubs and
weeds that no good farmers would
allow, and which soon grow away from
the fence and take the fertility from
crops for some distance into the field.
Enough weeds are allowed to 60 to
seed In some fence corners to seed the
entire farm.

Weeds Among Bean..

After beans have blossomed 1t is not
best to work among them, especially IL
the weather and soil be wet, and there
should be no cultivation while the
leaves are wet with rains or dew.
Hence the early cultivation of beans
should be thorough. SO as to allow
them to ripen before the weeds smother
them. 1t is not best to plant beans on
land that is very rich In heterogeneous
plant food. because such land is al
ways very weedy. Soil of moderate
fertility with dressing Of phosphate
and potash will make a good grain
crop, while on the richer land without
the mineral fertilizer, there will be only
a large growth OF haulm and leaves.

/. To haze really good bacon, we
must start with the pig. and feed for
flesh and muscle, and not alone for
fat. (2) Spring pigs killed in Deem
Der or January make the cheapest
pork. 90 Very large hogs are not the
best for first-class bacon. (4 Salt the
meat with dry salt, and not in brine.

enough for meat to lie in salt CO. To
prevent shippers, apply borax to the
meat, when it is washed to he hung up.
60 Smoke to bright gingerbread col

smokehouse is the Lest and proper
place for keeping bacon during sum-
mer. co. The smokehouse should be
cool and dark, and kept clean. (10) Be
