Velvet and Cloth Are Combined with
Satisfactory Resalts-A
Smart Gown.

There never has been q season when
so many different styles were in fasl ion.
particularly for cloth gowns. II would
almost seem impossible for woman to
be unfashionably dressed, provided the
sleeves of her gown are small, and the
skirt has no particular fulluess except
az the back. Velvet and cloth are-com-
b.ned in many of the new gowns with
very satisfactory results. A favorite
combination of color is tho light wood
cclor with dark brown. and a very
charming gown Of wood-colored cloth
the cloth with a satin finish. is quite
oGd in design, and is trimmed with a
deep brown velvet. The cloth is an
overskirt or polonaise, while the under
part Of the skirt and the upper pant of
the waist and sleeves are Of velvet.
There are four rows of narrow
velvet ribbon outlining the cloth.
There is apparently no way of getting
either in or ont of this costume, but the
gown is fastened at the left side with
Invisible hooks and eyes. The sleeves
nre small, with a cuff Of the velvet nj
the wrist, and are cut so as to give the
effect Of a very long shoulder seam.
a smart cloth gown that is simple in
design Is made of blue Venetian cloth.
The skirt is cut with a circular fiolmce
effect, fitting very closely over the hips.
The founce is not scant, as is generally
the case, but. on the contrary. Is exag-
geratedly full It is made in clusters OF
p'aits at equal distances apart, and the
plaits are only fastened short distance
leaving the flounce 10 flare out about
the foot The waist has three rows OF
tucks put on TO give the effect ofplaiis
below a plain square yoke of the deep.
est blue velvet that is finished with O
stock collar and side tabs The sleeves
are very nearly tight-fitting, but have
some fullness at the top, with rows o
tucks across the fullness. There is nj
finish at the wrists and the sleeve Il

CEREALS AND GRASSES.
Astonishing Rcsnlts OF Experiments
Lately Made ny English
Farmers.

II Is said that the discoveries in the
cultivation of cereals and grasses made
by the sons Of q Lancashire (EnglanD
corn merchant bid fair TO revolutionize
agriculture. In 1850 John and Robert
Carton began their experiments In the
production Of new varieties of cereals
by means of cross-fertilization at New
ton-le-Willows. Hitherto the Improve
ments in grain had been brought about
by carefully selecting the best ear in
the field and the best grain in that car.
and then keeping the product of that
variety for seed, or else q change OF
seed from one section of country or dis
trict 10 another, but the labors Of these
two gentlemen have been productive OF
new species of wheat, oats barley and
grasses, says the Philadelphia Record.
In their work nothing has bees left
10 chance; the whole world has been
ransacled for specimens of different
cereals grown, and it's peculiarities
noted through several seasons. Nearly
$50 varieties Of wheat have bccn collect
cd. including &C English, 40 American
About 1oo varieties of oats have beer
got together. only four of which came
from the United States.
BY crossing the common Wild cats Of
China. which Is very prolific, growing
in any soil and producing a large quan-
tity OF grnins, but has no husk. with
several varieties of British cats. an oai
has been produced which has no hul

HELP FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
The Best Way TO Put Down n Stair
Cnrpet-To Renew old Furni-
ture and Francs.

When you get new stair carpet,
buy piece that is two or three feet
longer than you need it at first, and let
the extra length be placed undec the
other carpet at the head and foo. of
the stairs. When II becomes worn at
the edges of the steps, t may be moved
so that the best parts of the carpet will
receive the wear. 1t is good plan to
nut the same kind of carpet on several
rooms, and, after using it a year or
more, the best parts may be sewn to-
gether for a room, and will be almost
os good as new.
The judicious use of half gallon of
good varnish win DO wonders in improv-
ing the appearance of old furniture.
Wash IL all over with strong suds con
tanning lye or sal soda, and if there are
any scratches or rough places rub hem
smooth with sandpaper. Then give it a
coat of varnish, taking a small quanti-
" on the brush at time, and going
over the entire surface with light, even
strokes. Picture frames, chairs, tables,
bedsteads and everything of the kind
can be improved by this treatment il
the woodwork is good.
There is no part of the housekeeping
that is so often neglected as the cellar,
end there Is no place about the house
where cleanliness is so important from
sanitary point Of view. No decaving
vegetables or moldy, damp boqrds
should be allowed to remain, since II
will tend to poison the atmosphere o.
the whole house. After eyeryt. Ls la.
heen cleaned, air the cellar for severa
days.
If you are troubled with ants, roachei
or beetles in your closet or pantry, wasl
ell the shelves, and sprinkle powdered
,borax over them; then cover with clear
paper. They will speedily depart. Yol
need not be afraid to use plenty Of It
for it Is absolutely harmless. Bora'
deodorizcs and disinfects any plac
where it may be used. 1t is also a val
liable cleansing agent. and should b.
added to the water In which all painte,
woodwork and floor oil cloth Is washed
These are only q few of the manifold
uses of borax, and the housekeeper VIII
becomes acquainted with its goo
qualities is never willing to do withou
II.
A large tray will save many unneces
sary steps. When the dishes are pile
up after a meal is over, put them on tn
tray and carry them to the kitchen {
wash them; If it is taken to the calla
ell articles needed for a meal may b
carried up on 1t instead of making seN
ecal trips. A large strongly made ba'
ket may be substituted for the tray,

MILITARY NOSTALGIA.
coIored Soldiers In Cuba Are Taking
II and Their sweethearts ut
Home Mourn.

DR.. Harrison, colored physician Of
Wichita, Kan, has received a letter
from one Of the Wichita boys with the
Twenty-third Kansas volunteers, the
colored regiment now az San Luis de
Cuba, which has caused CONSERVATION
among the colored people, and especial
" the women who had husbands or
swccthcarts in the company. In that
letter the soldier states that six mem
bers of the Wichita company are en-
gagged TO marry Cuban girls and that
many other members Of the regiment
are In love with Cuban and half-breed
Spanish women, who are said TO be un.
usually good looking and attractive
says the Topeka Daily Capital.
There were a number of married men
among the recruits and others who had
promised 10 marry Wichita girls or
their return. II is the women who IN.
willingly allowed their swecthearts "a
60 TO Cuba that are most worried. They
are afraid their "men" will fall prey Il
the attractions of the tropical amor
cites and never come back 10 them
The letter says that 1t is probable that
II the colored troops remain there ,
year almost one-half Of them will marry
natives ard remain there.
The reason assigned for the whole,
sale slaughter Of soldier hearts is tha
when the troops went there almost al
Of the boys were homesick and down
hearted. and about the only relief the,
could find was in the smiles and charms
OF the beautiful native women. Thei
as they learned something Of the Ian
guage loves charms were working an,
soon the soldier boys (some of them
forgot all about being homesiclS s.
much were they enamoured with thei
new sweethearts.

Certain windows where tickets arc

The battle of Omdurman showed that
continuous and rapid firing impairs the
effectiveness of the Lee-Metford rifle.
It was reported at the time that the
barrel became so hot that the men in
the fighting line found italmost impos-
sible to hold their weapons. Now It is
said that the same cause affected in 4
slight degree the accuracy of the rifle.
Of course inquiry is TO be made. and q
series of experiments isprojected. with
view TO seeing how many rounds can
be fired before accuracy falls off.

NAVY sherrr.r

According TO the navy regulations
whisky is not allowed on warships ex-
eept in the medical supplies, but II gets
aboard somehow, rs visitors to the hos
pitable officers can testify. It is called
navy sherry" on shipboard. Some
times, when the feet was on blockade
duty, newspaper dispatch boats car
ried supplies to the officers. A man ig-
norant of the rule about "navy sherry"
hailed the flagship New York one Sum
day morning or Santiago and asked the
officer of the deck If he would send a
boat for some supplies. "For whom are
they?" the officer asked. through a
megaphone. THE wardroom mess, .
wns the reply 1t was an idle hour on
the New York. and a crowd of officers
and men had lined up and were listen
ing. "Onions. potatoes and whisky"
Then he wondered why all the officers
IN sight fed 10 the other side of tho
ship, holding their sides with laughter
The onions and potatoes were sent
aboard-at least they alone were re-
ceived officially An officer who asked
