A novel combination made with
handsome silk petticoats consists in
cutting them out in the form of a
princess dress. The corsage being decoI-

Hollanders have long been known as
careful cheese makers, and Edaln
cheese is a Holland speciality The
northern part of the little country is
the seat of the Edam cheese industry
and great cleanliness and care is en-
ercised in the making. The cheese is
made from fresh cows milk. AS soon
as curdled by the rennet. the whey is
drawn off and the curd kneaded and
pressed into the ball-like molds until
quite dry. The ball is then wrapped
in linen cloth and kept for ten days
or two weeks until quite solid, when
the cloth is removed and the cheese
put into salt lye 1t is next put into a
vessel and washed with whey and
Scraped to remove the white crust of
salt 1t is next carried into a cool
room and laid on shelves. where it
is turned regularly. Ripening Edam
cheese takes from two to three months,
the round balls assuming their fine
yellow or reddish color Those cheeses
intended for export to this country are
often more highly colored by vegetable
dyes.
Among some of the commission men
in Chicago it is believed that the poul-
try crop of this year is about the
same as that of the past year. There
is believed to be considerable increase
of turkeys, while chickens remain
about the same. Ducks and geese are
less in numbers. The cold and wet
spring Is given as the general cause
OF not more abundant supply. The
supply of turkeys is put at possibly
70 per cent more than last year. The
cause for this is doubtless the good
prices that have been realized for a
few years past for good turkeys. There
has been no kind of poultry that has
brought the farmer more satisfactory
returns. But this condition in former
years was brought about by short
age. Perhaps we may expect to see
turkeys moderate in price this season
when they really begin to come in.
Chickens are not large crop for ths
same reason, that is, the moderate
prices that have prevailed for some
time. The state Of the market of past
years was the incentive for the change
in kind of fowls being prepared for
market. The same is true of the
shortage in ducks and geese. In fact
we may expect to see these changes
course among poultrymen would seem
to be to change less and catch the high
market oftener.

A Woman's prospect of marriage is
distinctly affected by age. The Statis-
tics of all countries show that the
great majority of women marry be-
tween the ages Of 20 and 80. Before
reaching 20 woman has of coulse. a
chance of matrimony, but the objec-
tions raised by parents or friends to
marriage at tender age frequently
outweigh the desire Of the young WOm-
an tS acquire a husband, and lead her
to defer the wedding day All the stat
1stics that have been gathered bear
out the statement that a wOman's hest
ehance to marry is at the age of 25,
that over six-tenths of the marriages
take place between 20 and 30, and con-
Sequently that a woman's chance IN

after that age until it reaches the van

Sheep Killed by Porcupine Grass.

We are hearing many complaints OF
the loss of sheep by injuries from that
very injurious grass known as pOrcu-
pine grass, also called Stipa Spartee by
botanists, says American Sheep Breed
er 1t is found from Illinois and In
DIANA and northwest into the Cana
dian territories. 1t is most noted FOR
its feathery head made up Of long
awns which are twisted as cork
screw, and covered with short plumy
fibers, making it much like feather.
The sheep. feeding among this grass
when the heads are about ripe, take
up in their fleece many Of these awns,
which are easily lOosened from the
head These awns entangled in the
wool untwist in the wet or damp
weather, or even in a dewy night, but
in the warm dry days they twist again.
in this manner they force the sharp
points of the awns into t',e flesh an
every exposure to alternate dampnes5
and dryness forces the barbed awns
deeper and deeper into the flesh, SO
that in time the sheep are absolutely
transdxed by these sharp screws like
needles. The result is that the sheep
become affected in the same way as
by serious disorders of the stomach
and bowels, but of course no treatment
suggested by this belief has any effect
in relieving them. There have been
so many instances of this kind the past
month, and SO many every year later
in the season, that attention is called
to this injurious grass so that ali con-
cerned may take suitable precautions.
1t is difficult to suggest any practical
means to get rid of this grass, as it is
perennial, and plowing and cuItivating
of the land only will eradicate it.
Doubtless the most satisfactory means
will be to watch the sheep and gather
from the fleece all the awns which
have been taken up by the wool, or
keep the fiocks from pastures on which
this grass grows.

for breakfast or supper. Rabbit may

Sheep Feed Short in England.--Ac-
cording to the Mark Lane Express the
sheep breeders on the English farms
have raised but small supply of feed
stuffs. The renters have made but liz
tie and their landlords are themselves
too poor to give assistance to their
tenants. Farm labor is so high as to
absorb profits. The turnip crop, so i'm
portant a sheep feed in that country
has been cut short by drouth, pastU
age is poor, and in many cases Wa
supply is defective. AS a result
farmers, or many of them, will be Ii
able to properly winter their f1oct

Arminius Vambery in the Pail Mall
Without giving implicit faith to Rus
sian oflcial statistical data, II may
fairly be assumed that, owing to the
particular care the government has al
ways taken as to further colonization,
the eminently agricultural Russian
will probably avail himself OF the Of
fered facilities, and that the popula-
ton in the hitherto empty lands will
considerably increase. It may be OBJ
1ected that Russia, the most thinly
populated country in Europe, will hard
ly find a surplus to provide for the
newly opened territory; but it must be
borne in mind that the Russian peas
ant is noted for his migratory propen-
stiles. And, besides, since the eman-
cipation of the serfs in 1861, the agrl-
cultural proletariat having steadily
grown-the annual amount is COM
puted to be 100000 men-it is almost
certain that it will easily drift in an
eastern and southeastern direction,
augmenting thereby the total Of the
population. So far we readily agree
with the Russian statistics; but we
cannot subscribe to their prophesies as
to the Quickness and extraordinary
high number of that growth. The cal
culation that in the lapse Of the next
hundred years the aforementioned
area of 1,1S7,00O square kilometers
will have a population of $4,000 900 or
50, 000,0 900 is certainly exaggerated and
at all events inconsistent with the in
crease hitherto noticed in more favor

Russia the density of population re-

From the London Mail: The latest
mechanical time recorder for use In

not only registers the precise minute
at which the employe arrives at his
work, but it photographs him neatly
and expeditiously on film, so that his
employer may see just how he looked
when he pressed the button. Many
virtues are claimed for the guv' nor
by the patentees. Its accuracy and
simplicity Of operation are held to be
the chief advantages which recommend
it to the favor Of large employers Of
labor. In point OF size and general
appearance 1.-The guv'nor" is q good
deal like a polished oak portable pho

results the instrument must be so
fixed against a door that the light, be-

condition of success. All that Is fur
