Costumes made of heavy wash fab
rics are called tub dresses" and well
deserve their name, as they look just as
smart after many trips to the laundry
as they do when first made. Linens
are quite deliberately embroidered in
mercerized cottons that have beauti-
full gloss, and this kind of decoration
is very attractive.
The skirt shown in the large Illus
tration forms part of tub dress. 1t Is
made of pale pink linen embroidered

large at the hem of each tlounce and
grow smaller toward the top.
The skirt is shaped with narrow
front and side cores and wide backs
that are fitted smoothly around the
waist and over the hips without darts.
The fulness of the centre back is ar
ranged in an underlying pleat at each
side of the closing. The pleats are fat

of circular shaping and slightly full at

Don't Neglect the Manure Heap.

During the warm days the manure
heap is liable to become overheated
and lose large share of its valuable
ammonia. Should this condition occur
the best plan to pursue is to open the
manure heap in several places with a
crowbar and pour in cold water in or
der TO arrest fermentation. The manure
will lose over one-half its value if tho
fermentation proceeds until the ma
terial becomes "fire-fanged," and care
full farmers for that reason prefer to
handle the heap by shoveling it over,
throwing the coarse and bulky portions
to the centre. Absorbent materials,
such as cut straw or even earth, will
serve well to arrest the process of fer.
mentation, and as the admission of air
conduces to the production of heat the
heap should be firmly trampled and
packed after it has been forked over
and made into new heap. During
the busy season farmers are prone to
neglect the manure heap, but in so
doing they are liable to permit large
proportion of its most valuable con.
stituents to escape into the atmos.

Keeping Old Hay.

We used to say that old hay well
kept in the barn was better than money
at interest, but the following para
graph from an exchange leads us to
think that it is possible to keep it too
long for profit. A farmer of Laconia,
N. H.. has been feeding out hay to his
stock this spring which was harvested
in the spring of 1S57-forty-f years
ago This hay is yet clean and bright
being in every way as handsome and
perfect as when put into the barp. We
do not remember the price of hay in
1857, but about 1867 we sold hay Of
our own curing at about $50 per toI
But if that hay was worth but 500
per ton forty-five years ago, and had
been sold and the money placed at
interest it would have bought great
deal of hay this spring, while at COM
pound interest the price of Il ton would
have been enough by this time to have
paid for pretty good New Hamp-
SHIRE farm. While it is not a good
idea to sell out so closely on non
perishable produce as to be obliged to
buy again before another crop can be
harvested, we think forty-five years is
too long to hold crop. We used to
like to sell when we could get q fair
price and just retain what We thought
might be needed at home.-American

Protecting Seed Corn From Crows.

After shelling the corn we place it in
some dish and pour boiling water over
1t, meanwhile stirring it. The dish
must have a perforated bottom so that
the hot water will drain off quickly
and not kill the corn, as it will do if
the corn is left standing in it. We use
an old dishpan with holes punched in
the bottom. This makes a very good
dish, as it is shallow, being preferable
to a deeper one. After this process
take some coal tar, from two to four
tablespoonfuls to the bushel, and stir
it thoroughly into the warm corn. If
the corn is warm and is stirred long
enough, the tar will coat each kernel
perfectly. Be careful not to get on
too much. The corn may now be
spread in the sun to dry. Flour or
middlings or in fact any fine substance
may be stirred into it to prevent stick
ing. l have seen road dust used, but
as we use planter we never use this,
as it would injure the running parts.
Corn treated in this way will rarely be
troubled by crows, as there is some
thing about the tar that they will not
eat. In fact, l have seen hens leave it
where it had been scattered about
after being tarred-Robert II. Smith,
in New England Homestead

DAINTlNESS IN SERVING.
One of the Things That Counts in EnteI

One of the Things That Counts in Enter
| taining.
At all times, but pre-eminently in
summer, the cultured woman, be she
wealthy or only of moderate means,
seeks to make daintiness the keynote
of the home, for in the art of living
according to strictly modern ideals
daintiness counts for more than rich
ness and over-elaboration.
| Show for shows sake has no place
In summer serving, but a radiant fresh
ness should be the charm that charac-
terizes the table, from the flowers to
the salt cellars.
If you have a beautifully polished
table use q cloth at dinner only. At
breakfast, luncheon and tea crocheted
or linen and lace mats are placed un-
der the plates and platters to keep from
soaring the table and to prevent the
noise they would otherwise make in
being moved about. for it is only noise.
less serving that is truly dainty serv-
ing. In one dining room there were
rubber tips put on the chair legs to
deaden the horrid clatter they made on
the bare floors, and a good idea it is,
too.
The Turks have fashion of putting
drop of altar Of rose ON the saucer
un Ter the cup, so a traveller tells me,
who was received at court there, and
she said she was mystified to tell where
the elusive sweetness came from.
We imagine We should not care for
altar so near our coffee, the aroma Of
the Mocha being good enough for us
and yet one dainty server puts rose
geranium leaf on top Of each glass Of
her crab-apple jelly before putting on
the paper cover, and says it imparts
most delicate favoring, while the re.
cipes for conserving rose leaves will
be much utilized this season.
Everything is nodded now that can
be nodded for serving, and the ring
mold seems Indispensable.
Oatmeal mold in ring and served
next morning at breakfast, turned out
on a dish and filed in with berries, is

A ring of lemon jelly filed in with
plain ice cream is a delicious desert
and not troublesome to prepare.
Among the new things for dainty
serving are the fireproof ramakins, a
little round dish with a handle. There
are also other individual dishes, round
fluted ones in which desserts are
cooked and served, custards, char
lottes. and other good things.
A silver or plated dish, or, rather,
holder for a white enamel baking pan
to fit in is most useful table access
ory. Macaroni, stews, potatoes, potpie
and all sorts of baked dishes are
brought to table in these, very much
improved in appearance.

all tired Of may well be banished for
a time, and slender vase substituted.

Collecting Eggs For Hatching

Collecting eggs for Matching often
may mean more extra labor, but 1t
pays winter and summer. During
warm weather we will suppose six or
eight hens are using the same nest.
The first egg laid will be under the
various hens for hours, possibly all
day, and must necessarily be raised to
required heat for terminating. This
certainly cannot be good for the eggs
to be saved for Matching.

Hot Weather Fashions.

Quite the smartest thing in gloves is
TO have ones monogram embroidered
just at the top of the trio of back
stitchings. The monogram is embrold-
cred very finely in the exact shade Of
the glove, the whole design having a
diameter of scarcely a half inch. So
far this distinguished style has been
noted only on the long suede NOUS

modish elbow sleeves. OF course, silk
and lace mitts and gloves are fashion
able enough, but they can never COM
pare with a pair of fresh suede nous.

pearl or the shade of ones dress.
These handsome gloves remind one
Of the most fascinating of sleeves for
gala daytime wear, or evening, either,
for that matter. The dress in question
is of pink figured white mousseline,
five inches in width. This applique
forms band around the top of the
arm, and to the lower edge Of it ia
fulled graduated fiounce of the same
lace, the founce falling just below the
tip of the elbow at the outside of the
arm and failing to reach it by two or
three inches at the inside. This is a
charming style for a pretty arm, and
with the long gloves is suitable for
many gala events.
Economical women are delighted at
the vogue of blouse and slip skirt
modes, as the Innings may be separate
and serve several purposes. A real va
riety is even possible with but two sets,
one black and one white. Another of

is ones color, gives great variety, pro

A biography Of Marshal Canrobert
has been published recently in Paris.
Not the least interesting part Of the
work is that which refers to the extra
ordinary popular demonstrations that
marked the state visit Of the late
Qlleen Victoria to the French capital.
When the English sovereign, with her
donsort and heir, went to the 1nvalldes
to look upon the tomb Of Napoleon the
scene was one which seems to have
greatly impressed the Marshal, who
thus describes it:
Everybody was profoundly moved.
Not word was spoken. Each person
stood gazing at the tomb and was lost
in thought. Prince Albert was in front
of me in the red uniform of a field
marshall at his side stood the Queen,
and standing beside her was the Prince
Of Wales, dressed in his Highland cos
tune, with his velvet coat, his purse
of fur, and the kilt; at the right was
Princess Mathilde, whose features, so
pure, standing out in the light of
torches, recalled too vividly the fea-
lures of her uncle. After u moment S
pause of reflection, of absolute silence,
the Queen, with an expression on her
>face Of severity, calmness and medita-
Jon, turned to the Prince Of Wales,
&pd placing her hands on his shoulder.

the tomb of the great Napoleon 1t
was fine exhibition of keen political
tact, as well as of fine human feeling
on the part of the Queen"
Shall Men Choose Women's CIothes9
1t is often said that women dress to
please each other, but men dress to
please themselves. On this point q
writer in the Ladies's Pictorial says:
Now and then one sees q woman
whose clothes are absolutely character
istic OF her, and bear the impress OF
having been carefully thought out by
their wearer These are those who
never wear garments fashioned like
others; but the majority Of women do
not desire, nor, indeed, would it be-
come them, to be individualistic in
their attire. They like to be Sin the
FASHION" And the question is are they,
~ are men, best suited to making what
Us understood by Ia mode? On the
whole, one inclines to the opinion that
men are really the best judges of what
suits the female form divine; and, on
the other hand, it would seem as if
woman's taste in mems clothing is far
more reliable than mans. She is quick
to detect mistake in the choice of n
tie, to note the angle of hat, the set
of coat, the pattern of tweed, the
shape OF a collar, and she never falls
into the error of urging her men folk
to adopt any atrocious thing merely
because they are described as "vcry
fashionable" The man whom woman
considers well dressed is well fitted,
absolutely well groomed and quite un-
obtrusive alike in the matter of hats,
waistcoats, ties or patterns, and this
l4oks as if each sex We're meant TO
Select the others clothers. Women are
ready enough to admit mems good
taste and cleverness in this direction,
but the other sex disclaim with horror

ercise any judgment with regard to
their wardrobes, despite the fact that
