women are cut very low back and

with drarery of tullc.
Pretty ties have deep-plcated ends
of color, say, pale blue and white.
The ties are Of good material and well
made. and are consequently worth
while
Attractive white ties are finished
on the ends with sprlgs o. emDrod-

of fine lawn.
The fashion for dressing the hair
low on the nape of the neck is grow

waved is parted either in the centre
or little to one side.
Among the new materials which are
coming in the market is something
called burlap in light gray. 1t re-
sembles canvas, and to have any style
must be tailor made.
The very latest corset IS a comp-o-

turns down about the neck. The

shaped somewhat like the croquet NAL

handle, like the golf club. One end
of the mallet Is lofted or cut off on
an angle. so that in the first drive.
which is made exactly as in game of
golf, the ball Is sent n much longer
distance than in ordinary croquet
The wlckets used in golf croquet arc
square-topped and are placed irregu.
larly and at irregular distances. so that
the ground resembles a miniature golf
course with wicl;ets instead of holes.
When near wicket the shot is made
with the straight edge OF the mallet.
The game has the merit OF occupying
less space than golf course. is easier
played. and requires far less eXertion.

Counterfeitcrs of Coins.

There is no rogue half so incorrig.-
bic as the professional colner, said
well-known detective. A reformed
burglar or pickpocket is quite COM
mon. but regenerated coiner, in my
experience, is even more rare than Il
black swan or dead donkey. There
appears to be some fascination in the
misapplied art; for no amount of pun
ishment seems to deter a convicted
colner from returning to his moulds
and batteries the very moment he is
free.
The modern coiner takes very high
rank among intelligent criminals, and
Is as far removed from his forerunner
of few generations ago as an aver.
age man from an ape. The coiner of
our grandfathcrs' days was indeed a
clumsy workman, who was content
with battery made of jam jars, and
manufactured his coins out of iron and
tin, blsmuth and brass. and the pro-
ducts of his "sllill" would impose on
none hut the ignorant and careless.

Queen has very beautiful wavy hair,

exclaimed: How beautiful your hair
looks this evening. Your MaJesty-it

dushed with pleasure. but the King
was within hearing. and as he has an
almost morbid adherence OF anything
approaching tiattery or praise, she was
unable to thank her friend for n COM

NJ ne. X, OF course, felt snubbed and
remained silent for the rest of the
evening. but when she came to take
formal leave, Queen Helene whispered
to her with little smile, Thanks on
behalf of my coffnre, madame"
At another time she had been out
alone for surreptltious spin on her
bicycle, when, as she was entering the
palace gate on her return she had Il

Ginseng Farms in Wisconsin,.

Before the days of the triumph of
the buzz saw in Wisconsin. the woods
abounded in ginseng. but with the
cutting away of the forest the source
of the supply diminished Not only is
this true in Wisconsin, but In all other
States as we'll In order to meet the
increasing demand which has come
with the decreasing supply several
ginseng farms have been established
in Wisconsin. the most celebrated of
which is that of Emanuel Lewis, at
Hemlock, as well as those of II. $.
Seymour, Mt Richland Centre. and w.
G. Palmer, of Boydton. Mr.. Lewis
was the first man in the State to con
celve the idea of propagating the root
and now has over 10000 healthy
plants. The product brings over four
dollars n pound at the present time.
There are others who desire to engage
in the ginseng culture, but find 1t diff
cult to obtain either the plants or seed
at n reasonable price. The unabated
demand for tile root in the Orient
keeps the price n; such mark that it
would be improbable to use the roots
in starting a farm, and the seeds are
so rare that they sell for one dollar
per ounce. The root ls almost ex-
