On most OF the redingote dresses and
many Of the princess gowns for dressy
afternoon functions the familiar
straight fronts are avoided, and the
edges cut in long curving scallops-
thus, when the length of an ordinary
coat is reached a curve is made and the
material cut away in the space Of
three-eighths of yard or more. When
two thirds Of yard OF the skirt-length
Is traversed another backward scallop
is made as before, terminating at the
skirt edge. The bodice portion is
usually openfronted and low cut,
above a gimp OF shirred silk muslin
over silk or satin, gathered into a
beaded band around the neck. At a
public entertainment of fashionable
hotel recently a gown exactly after
the style described was worn. A mar
row line of otter fur finished the edges
of skirt and waist, the gown was of
gray, repped silk and wool, and the
gimp of pink, crimson and green ma
telasse on a deep cream ground.

* AGRICULTURAL. x


The best results in growing turkeys
are from yearling hens bred to q
gobbler two years old, and three
would be still better. The young hen
will lay more eggs the first year than
she will in any year after, and if she
mates with q gobbler two years or
over the young turks will be active
and vigorous. Watch the hen turkey
carefully, and remove her first eggs as
soon as laid, lest they become chilled,
Two and sometimes three settings of
turkey eggs must be taken from the
young turkeys and set under common
hens before the hen turkey will sit
steadily herself. The hen turkey
must be confined mornings when she
has young chicks, or she will draggle
them through the wet grass, and thus
kill them,

own State last summer I was i'm
pressed with the number of farm let
ter boxes saw along the roads. These
were generally of the sort shown in the
cut, and, as can be seen, are no dis
tigurement-at least to the farmyards
lying behind them. A stout post is
set by the roadside in position to be
readily approached by the team con-
veying the mail from one point to an
other. The box has sloping cover
that should project on all sides, to
keep out the rain. 1t should be high
enough so that the driver can reach it
easily from his seat. One or two
steps make the box accessible from
the ground. The driver of the mail
wagon or stage from one town to an
other is hired to take from the box
each day the letters and papers to be
mailed, and to bring back and deposit
in the box the mail he finds for the
family at the distant postoffice. The
cost per month for such service is
comparatively small, while the result
is in reality the bringing Of the post
office to ones doors. There are doubt
less many farms not now enjoying this
privilege that might easily take ad-
vantage of it. The only requisite is
that mail wagon should pass that
way. The letter box and ON arrange.
ment with the mail carrier do the
rest. In this way also shopping can
be done by the mail carrier, and the
purchase left in the box on the return
trip, memorandum of wants having
been left in the box in the morning,
with the money to pay for the articles
and small fee for the doing of the
service. Such things tend to lessen
the isolation of farm life, and to bring
added conveniences to it, and for this
reason are to be commended. New

NOTES IN A SUNBEAM.
They sIay Now Be Counted and Classi-
fed


Counting the dancing notes in n
bar of sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless, never-ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirits of little heroines
In the German folk stories. Something
more than this, however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count the particles float
ing in any given portion Of the atmos-
phere, says Pearson's Weekly, and de-
termine what proportion of these are
dangerous germs and what are mere
dust. DR.. Frankiand's experiments
have shown us how 20 count the micro
organisms, and now Scotch scientist,
by totally different method, has been
enabled to take stock of the more
harmless but hardly less interesting
aust notes. Thirty thousand such par
ticles have been detected by him in
the thousandth Of cubic inch Of the
air in a room. In the outside atnos-
phere in dry weather the same meas
urement of air yielded 2,119, whereas
after a heavy rainfall the number was
only 521. That this pCwer Of pryic
into atmospheric secrets will eventual
ly yield very important results must be
obvious to ALL Among the most curl
GUS discoveries already made is the
direct and constant relation which eX-
lists between dust particles end fogs,

The Effect of Inbreedinr.

Among the sheep the direct loss
from close inbreeding is the most ap-
parent. The degeneration of flock
IS SO rapid that you can almost see it
from one generation to another. 1t
naturally follows that the need OF
thoroughbred rams from other iiocks
to add new blood to the sheep is
greater in focks that have been inbred
for succession of years
The first thing noticeable in the
line of degeneration is the undersize
of the lambs. The animals actually
show smaller size from one generation
to another, and if the inbreeding is
kept up they become small and puny
creatures, OF at least fair percentage
of the lambs will be thus understood.
The loss is Of itself twofold. The
lamb that is understood produces less
wool because there is smaller surface
for it to grow on. In the course of
several generations the amount of sur
face may decrease by almost q square
foot. Count up how much wool is
produced on square foot of the
sleeps hide, and you will get at the
exact loss. Then the understood lamb
yields so much less meat for the
butcher. The loss here, too, is con-
siderable, and when finally sent to be
killed the loss on the wool and the
mutton will make a rather startling
sum.
But this is not the only loss sus-
tanned from inbreeding. The wool grad
ually grows thinner on the hide of the
poor, scrubby sheep. Only one hair
is found where before two grew. The
inherent weakness of the animals
shows itself in the thin crop of wool,
the same as an old man, or one suffer-
ing from long sickness or insidious
disease. The quality Of the wool nat
urally degenerates along with the
other things. Place the wool of q
scrub on the scales, and it is found
wanting in weight. Place it then be.
fore the sorter and quicker, and they
quickly mark it down as second class.
The fibre lacks something that experts
can quickly distinguish.
Here are the four losses: less NUT
ton, less surface for the wool, less
wool to the square inch and inferior
quality of wool, which brings only the
lowest prices in the markets. P.

cut. Where the fowl house is inside
another building, or has hallway,
this plan can be easily and conven-
iently used. Long boxes are used
tor the nests, each having a partition
across the middle with round open
ing through it large enough for hen
to pass, through. Two other round
openings for each nest are made. One
in the outside of the box, as shown,
another in the partition of the hen
pen. Place the box against the out
side of the partition so that the two
openings will come together, when the
hen can enter and pass around into
the dark nest. A hinged cover gives
access to the eggs.

Government ordnance experts are
gathering up unexploded shells around
Santiago, and are sending them to
Washington for examination by judi

why they did not explode when they
struck the shore, so that similar mis-

and the responsibility fixed. Captain

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has introduced new feature in its
sleeping car service arranging to at
tach an ordinary sleeper in addition
to the regular first-class sleeper now
in service on through trains.
The innovation will be that in these
ordinary sleepers Pullman rates are
reduced one half, so that passengers
have the choice of paying the highest
price Pullman rate or take advantage
of the cheaper rate offered in ordinary
cars.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Is
the first line to introduce this service
and it's popularity has been predicted.
