THE TRAILING SKIRT,
Condemned by Medical Authorities
Who Declare 1t to he IA Veri-
table MicrObe Collector

The physicians of Europe have band,
ed together against the trailing skirts.
During the scientific congress held at
Rome the delegates from the various
countries of Eurape have come to the
conclusion that long skirts are emf
nentiy dangerous to health.
DR.. Philip Casagrandi demonstrated
in a most original and impressive fash
ion the Inconvenience and the sanitary
Seriis of this garment. He sent into
the streets a number of ladies carry.
ing trailing skirts, with instructions
to walk about for an hour.
When the ladies returned the danger
Gus vestments were submitted to a mi
croscopic examination, and on each OF
the skirts DR.. Casagrandi discovered
whole colonies of microbes and bacilli
The physicians determined that the
germs of influenza, consumption and
typhoid fever are the least of the evils
which careless mothers, after an hours
promenade, bring home to the cradles
of their children.
In view of these alarming reyela-
tions made by DR.. Casagrandi the hy-
gienists present at the congress prompt
ly condemned the wearing of long
skirts.

GROWING WOOD PULP.
An On-Hand Suggestion Which Seems
20 he Worthy of Serious Thought
and Consideration.

A few days ago I cut a silver pop.
lar which had been planted for orna.
mental purposes in the spring of 1889.
and which had grown nearly IS inches
in diameter foot above the ground,
and probably contains a cord of wood
The tree became a nuisance where il
stood, and s il had to come down
But 1t made me think of the possibili.
ties of growing such trees for CONNER
cal purposes. Poplar is being much
used for papermaking. How many
years will it take at the present rate
OF using the native poplars for this
purpose alone before the natural sup
ply will be exhausted? Possibly we
may be able to find other materials
for paper making, such as cornstalks,
etc, but l would feel pretty safe to
predict a ready sale of all poplar wood
that one could grow for the next 100
years. l do not know what price pa
per-makers have to pay cord for the
wood they use. But think how quickly
one could produce big lot of poplar
wood. The tree grows marvelously
fast. In ten years from planting you
would have quite a good forest, and
even before that time much of the
wood could be utilized for various pur-
poses, as the trees could be set quite
thickly at the start and gradually
thinned out. Trees can be cheaply pro.
cured, too. l only offer this as a sug-
gestion.-Farm and Fireside.

PERMANENT PASTURES,
10 Keep Them in Good Condition Is
Problem That Has Puzzled
Many Farmers.

Probably the easiest way to keep a
permanent pasture in good condition
is to stock it hard enough so that
the grass will be eaten before it
throws up a seed-stock or becomes
hard and woody, and then give extra
feed at the barn so that the animals
will return at least as much fertility
to the soil as the grass takes from
1T. Of course manure or fertilizer
may be carried out, and spread on
the pasture, but that costs money.
and many farmers are often at a
loss to obtain fertilizing elements
enough for their moving lands and
cultivated fields. If they buy feed to
use in summer when cattle are in the
pasture, they hope to and usually do
get enough in the way of growth, fat
or milk production to pay fer it, and
look upon the increased quantity and
extra quality of the manure heap as
an extra profit. In this matter of
overstocking the pasture it is best
done and produces best results where
there are two pastures, so that the
animals can be changed from one to
the other about once a week, or as
often as the feed is eaten down
smooth. This helps to prevent them
from gnawing so closely as to de-
stroy the roots, which they may dc
in some favorite spot if they are kept
too long in one pasture.-Midland
Farmer.

HAIR BRUSH AND COMB.
Their Neglected Condition Is Snid TO
He Responsible for Many Cases
of Scalp Trouble.

'The thing I'd like to impress upon
4he public is the vital importance of
clean hair brushes" ays "a scalp spe-
rialist. The condition of the average
hair brush is simply disgraceful and
makes a perfect mass of infection.
The brush should be washed every
week, and washing isn't enough. 1t
should be thoroughly sterilized at
least twice month. All hair does
not need much brushing, and the kind
of brush required depends upon the
Peculiarities of the scalp. ~ stiff brush
IS necessary for some heads and fatal
TO others, and ones brush should
really be prescribed by a competent
specialist. Then, the comb should be
a dinerent thing from the ordinary af-
fair. 1t should be coarse. A fine
comb is all wrong. The teeth should
round both on the sides and the ends,
so that it will glide smoothly through
abe hair, and there shouldn't be any
corners between the teeth.
"Women keep their hair better than
men. in the first place there's more
of it and Their scalps are better pro-
tected, but they wear their hats so
much less than men, and the hats,
when they are worn, do not fit the
head so tightly and create such heat
and moisture, generating poison, as
the mans hat does. A leather hat
band should be changed frequently.
