The effectiveness of American in.
dustrial competition with Germany
has rarely been stated more clearly
than in the speech delivered in the
Reichstag by the German Secretary of
the interior. It is not surprising
that our iron and steel goods, as we'll
as boots and shoes, have been able to
make headway in German markets,
but textile industries also are feeling
the pressure Of our competition, and
this IS remarkable when it is consid-
cred that this is the line in which
German competition has been most
feared in our own markets. 1t is
known that German processes OF
manufacture in certain lines of textile
goods are more advanced and econ
omical than elsewhere, and this ad-
mission in the Reichstag is, therefore,
one of the most significant tributes
ever paid to American skill. The
German Minister went so far as to ad-
nit that, in comparing his own coun-
try with Great Britain in regard to
American competition, the former was
in the worst case, as Great Britain
chiefly imported cereals and raw ma
terials. Facts like these account for
German good will, if no other could
be adduced. In these days industrial
pressure of one power upon another
gives the c'u} to diplomacy.

The summer belts are narrow and
have beautiful buckles. They are
made of barbarically splendid ma
terials-pale-colored kid embroidered
with silver, cloth of silver lined with
satin and studded with gems, and
white satin enriched with brocades
and embroidery OF silver and gold and
jewels. One of these waist-circles is
of rose-pink kid, the edges sewn with
cleaning silver thread and round,
conventionalized daisies embroidered
in prim row, also in silver thread.
A white kid belt has beautiful Persian
embroidery of gold and bright bronze,
and is lined with scarlet silk. Buckles
of curious shapes in white enamel,
studded with amethysts, green
crystals, topaz, etc., tone down the
splendor of these gorgeous belts and
accord we'll with the mixture of tints
in the more elaborate embroideries.

There is great danger of blood
poisoning if hog bites the flesh.
There is no poison in the hogs teeth
as there is in the fangs of poisonous
snake. 1t is rather the poison which
comes from the saliva, as the hog is
very indiscriminate feeder and not at
all cleanly. When hog is made
angry the amount of this saliva is
greatly increased, and the danger is
greater. Even slight confusion
from hogs tooth should be prompt
ly washed out with some antiseptic.
Dilute carbolic acid, one part OF the
acid to 1000 of water, is good and al
ways reliable antiseptic. Some
should always be kept where it can be
handily procured, to put on cuts or
outside injuries received on any part
of the body. 1t will greatly hasten
their healing.

Public attention has been much di-
verted during the past year from the
Klondike by stirring events in other
parts of the world. But the perils,
the rewards and the incidental rom
ance of life in that region of frost and
gold are family though picturesquely
indicated by the wedding in England
few days ago of q miner who sup
ports his title of "the King of the
Klondike" with the substantial assets
Of $135, 100000. His bride needs no
dowry; but it is an illustration of the
Unsuitable greed for gold that the new
Iy welded couple intend to make their
bridal tour another trip to Alaska in
the search for more.

A novelty in millinery is a shirred
silk toque.
A cream lace blouse is one of the
smart accessories of fashionable dress
at the moment.
Biscuit color and white are COM
bined very smartly in some of the new
spring costumes.
Long lace sleeves are still worn in
evening gowns, but the elbow sleeve
is moro IN demand as the season ad-
vances.
A toque of tucked white chiffon
trimmed with black ostrich feathers
and narrow folds of black velvet on
the brim is very smart.
There are violets and violets, and
the woman who dresses well wears
flowers that match exactly the color
tone of the accessories to her cos
tunes.
The pompadour comb, one of the
latest novelties for the hair, is ex-
tremely pretty in effect, as it fits in
front of the high. perched knot round
ing in the outline of the pompadour.
Ruches of mousseline de sole in a
variety of pale colors, machine stitched
on the edges with silk to match, are
one of the novelties in trimming. They
are very narrow, are box plated and
are very effective.
Mousseline velours is new mate
rial for evening gowns. 1t has finish
like mirror velvet, but q longer nap,
more like panne, and the warp is usu-
ally contrastipC color, giving it a
changeable effect.
A trimming for blue and white
foulard is band of white satin on
which are sewn two rows of black vel
vet arranged in vandykes around the
hem. Frills of white edged with vel
vet may trim the bodice with vest Of
cream lace over white chiffon.

Royal Road to Rousecleanine.

Now comes the time of year when
the housekeeper wishes that there
were some royal road to houseclean-
ing. Every member of the family
breads the spring upheaval-when
carpets are up, windows open, dust
flying, everything in confusion, and
the entire promises smell of soap
suds. Then meals are unappetizingly
plain, and hastily eaten; for mother
has no time to give to the preparation
of dainty dishes. And the worst of it
all is that this same mother is very
likely to overwork herself to such an
extent that, when the house is once
more in q state of order, she is laid up
with illness produced of physical and
nervous exhaustion.
One housekeeper has discovered
that there is what she calls a royal
road to housecleaning, and it lies in
the simple device of taking one room
at time. First of all, she attacks
the attic, and gives one day to going
through trunks, etc., and setting the
place in order. Next, the cellar re-

for one day to perform the heavy and
dirty part of the work. This is done
before the other portions of the house
are cleaned, as cleaning the furnace,
removing ashes, etc., necessarily cause
dust to rise to the upper floors. Then
one room at time is cleaned, and this
is done in such an unostentatious wGy
that the men of the family hardly
know that the process is going on.
The room that is undergoing a trans
formation is thoroughly completed,
the carpets relaid and pictures re-
hung, before another apartment has
SO much as a chair removed from it.
Our housekeeper has also adopted the
plan of taking her housekeeping in
leisurely way, and not attempting to
get it all done in a given space of
time. She begins early in the season,
and, if pressed with other work, cleans
only one or two rooms week. This
method is so much pleasanter for all
concerned than tile old-fashioned sys-
tenn of much-dreaded housecleaning,
that over-wrought housewives might
find their work simplitied if they
should adopt this woman's plan

A lively little fox terrier owned by
family uptown has developed a
strange habit. In his afternoon
rambles now he stops before a grocery
store in front of which, among other
things, there is usually an open box
of table nuts. Picking up two or three
nuts in its mouth the dog runs away
with them to its masters house, a few
doors off. There, stretching itself on
rug in front Of the door, the dog
holds nut between its paws, cracks
it with its teeth like a squirrel, and
eats it with relish. New York Sun.

Denim tablecloth contributed q
pretty effect to luncheon recently.
1t was made with the light side upper.
most, the dark side being turned up
around the cloth as deep hem, which
was featherstitched down. The cen.
trepiece, dish and plate dollies were
all of Mexican drawn work, showing
with excellent effect over the light
blue cover. A pretty set Of old blue
willow ware was used for the luncheon
service. When one does not own a

good order, the denim cloth is valu.

Those who believe that lime is
necessary as fertilizer, and their
opinions are not based upon actual
tests of the soil, they would do well to
test it. Stir up four or five teaspoon
fuls of the soil with enough water to
make thick paste. Allow it to stand
fifteen minutes. Then part Che soil
with knife blade and insert one end
of strip of distinctly blue litmus
paper Ito be had at any apothecary
store), pressing the soil about the pa
per. After five minutes remove the
paper carefully in order not to tear it
and rinse quickly with water. If the
blue color has disappeared and red
one taken its place, the need of lime
isprobable. The fingers should never
be touched to the end Of the paper to
be inserted in the soil, for they alone
will redden it intensely.
1t would also be we'll to test as fol-
lows: Take two glasses, place three
teaspoonfuls of soil in each and add
water till half full; to one glass add
two teaspoonfuls of ammonia wator,
to be obtained of any druggist,
stir both thoroughly and again five
minutes later. Allow them to settle
and if the one to which ammonia was
added gives o black inky looking
liquid, and the other settles out nearly
clear, further evidence of the need OF
lime is given.
The first test should be relied upon
-, l1,,t hn
agrees with the first, the case is SO
much the more certain. Where lime
is lacking, beet leaves often turn red
and many of the young plants die;
lettuce plants also often do the same.
On light. sandy soil from 1000 to
1000 pounds of air-slaked lime may be
applied on the furrows and narrowed
in, preferably in the autumn. On
heavier soil from one to two tons per
acre may be used in this manner. On
heavy and moist soils, there is less
danger from spring applications than
on light ones. II air-slaked lime Is
not to be had, ordinary builders lime
will answer, only the quantity may be
reduced in that case to about two
in piles of forty to fifty pounds each
and cover with moist soil. In few
days it will be sufficiently slaked 50
that it can be spread with a shovel.
Harrow or cultivate in the lime at once.
II there are any Jumps, repeat the har-
rowing or cultivating after two or three
days, when they will have slaked so
that the lime can DO mixed with the
soil. If the land is very dry, sprinkle
each pile with about half pail of
water before covering it with soil.
Twice as much of wood ashes as of air.
slaked lime, will also answer.
Potatoes planted on lined land
should be treated with corrosive sub
Innate solution or formalin to prevent
"scab." Watermelons should, if pos
sible, be planted on unlimed land, or
where the lime has been applied two

Wear as few bands as possible at or
near the waist, and in all cases wear
them as far below the waist line as
possible with comfort. Make drawers
with as little fullness at the top as pos
sible, and always make them on a
carefully fitted yoke. If you wear a
chemise or corset-cover have it fit
smoothly, and use no sort of frilly
trimmings that will show their i'm
print through closely fitted bodice.
Make them as elaborate as you please,
but let all trimmings be flat, using
lace rather than embroidery. If you
wear a short under -petticoat of flannel
or other material, make with fitted
yoke that drops well over the hips and
abdomen, keeping all fullness-both
top and bottom-at the back. The
top petticoat should be fitted with the
same precision as the skirt to your
very best gown, and should always be
worn we'll below the waist in front and
on the hips. .-Woman's Home Com
