way has yet been devised whereby that
useful parsonage can shoe a horse or
mend a wagon without having horse

are not of daily occurrence, and so it
happens that the little street or open

crowded with horses and vehicles at
certain hours every day or on certain

conscious Of a sense Of loneliness. They

Little Hair Novelties.

And this is what the French say will
be worn this winter.
The shoulder curl.
The high round pompadOur.
Corkscrew curls upon the temples.
A very low knot in the back of the
neck, set in curls.
Or a very high coiffure threatening
to come forward into the pompadour.
Ornaments of all kinds, from dia-
dems to waxen fruit.
Ribbons in knots and windmills and
flowers.
Autumn leaves arranged to make
wreaths.
Golden rod in little sprays.
They also say that the feathery
aigret will be seen and the ornament
that combines jewels and fluff in one
Of those strange creations that top the
couture Of the women who attend court
balls.
The three feather couture is one that
is worn only for a special occasion, as
it is too distinctively a court headdress
to be Worn generally.
Then, besides these styles, which are
the conventional ones, there are numer-
Gus coiffres that are worn at the head
dress dinners, and when it comes to
these fancy runs riot and there are as
many different designs as there are
heads to wear them. For the head.
dress dinner there is only one rule
namely, that the style selected be ad
hered to and that the headdress be
what is known as faithful"
The Elizabethan roll would not do al
all with the modernized Victorian bang
nor would the parted hair of the Pris
ella days be in accord with the Janice
Meredith curl. One must be consistent
throughout, or the headdress will no
be a success from the historical poin
of view.

Rational System of Fertilization.

The Alabama agricultural expert
ment station has published Bulletin
No. 100, on the velvet bean and the
cowpea as fertilizers In conclusion,
the writer, Professor J. f. Duggar, re
affirms his statement made in a pre-
vious bulletin:
Considering permanency of effect, as
we'll as influence on the crop immedi-
ately following, the cowpea and other
leguminous plants must be ranked as
a cheaper source of nitrogen than is
any heterogeneous material which may
be bought as commercial fertilizers.
The aim of the cotton farmers should
be to grow such areas of legumes as
will enable him to dispense with the
purchase of heterogeneous fertilizers for
cotton, using the funds thus saved to
purchase increased amounts Of phos
pilates or other necessary non-nitrO
geneous fertilizers. The money thai
would have been necessary to pur
chase one pound of nitrogen will buy
about three pounds OF phosphoric acid

The hand shaking of the Empress
was not perfunctory function, for she
shook the hand of each person and
looked keenly into her eyes, and dis
tinctly separated her from her kind.
She has that rare possession of so much
charm in woman, soft, caressing
voice, supplemented by an engaging
smile, an eager, observing alertness Of
expression and a noticeably gentle
touch.
This formality over, she left the
throne and all its formal greatness,
and came down among the children of
men with a true housewifely interest
in the comfort and pleasure Of her
guests. OF course chief favors were
shown the wives of the Ministers as
the first ranking ladies present, but she
did not forget those of lesser fame, and
was particularly attentive to children.
Her first duty was to see that we
were served tea in a little drawing
room leading off from the throne room.
She was attended by about twenty-five
princesses, and, from the Empress
Dowager down, it was beautiful pic
ture of Oriental splendor and beauty.

long, loose, sack-like garment reaching

inches of the floor, over which is worn
a short sleeveless Jacket They were

Nail Punctures in the Foot of the Horse.

We are frequently asked the best
treatment to pursue for nail wounds
in the foot. When the nail has been
removed, follow the puncture through
the sole or frog to the soft tissues,
then fill the cavity with a solution
made Of equal parts Of gum camphor
and carbolic acid and pack with cotton.
This treatment should be repeated
daily until recovery is complete.
Where this treatment is promptly and
properly carried out nail wounds in the
foot OF the horse rarely result in alb
scess and suppuration. Where abscess
of the foot has occurred remove all

ated with the solution given. The cot
