A new idea in sashes is a corsage
bow to match. This artistic design
Is quite a change from the bow with
two long ends that formerly did duty
as a sash. The foundation is white
MORE antique, and the roses and ends
which decorate it are of liberty satin

artificial daisies are added. These
sashes are made up in all colors. With
the rosette in place of the rose any
favored flower may take the daisy's
place.

VALUABLE as a Land Improver.

Sand vetch, sometimes called Hairy
vetch. may be sown up to the end of
October. This crop makes a more
certain stand than crimson clover
indeed. it rarely fails. Sow twenty
pounds of seed to the acre, with half
a bushel Of wheat or winter oats. 1t
makes great crop for cutting for
green feed in the spring or for hay.
In an experiment made in Tennessee
sand vetch grown alone yielded seven
and three-fourths tons of green forage
to the acre and one and three-fOurths
tons of cured hay. When grown with
wheat it made three and three-fOurths
tons of hay, and with oats one and
one-half tons per acre. 1t is valuable
as an improver Of the land, making
an excellent green falIOw to pillow down
for the corn crop. An average crop
will supply as much nitrogen to the
acre as a ton of cOttOn-seed meal.

Essentials to a Good wheat Crop.

Experiments made in many differ
ent sections all emphasize the fact that
early blowing and frequent and perfect
cultivation of the land for a period
of six weeks or two months before
sowing the seed has more influence on
the yield of the wheat and winter Oat
crop than even the quantity Of fer
tilizer applied to the land. Set the
plows to work as early as the land
is in good blowing order, and pillow
deeply. Follow with a heavy harrow
as soon as possible so as to break the
furrow slices, and thus conserve the
moisture and encourage the germna-
ton of weed seeds. If at all cloddy,
roll and then harrow again. Repeat
this as often as can be conveniently
done, and thus get rid of weeds and
secure a fine compact seed bed. These
are essentials to a good wheat crop.

Occasionally some enthusiast will

of crop. Plant an early variety Of

In Germany the economic, intellect
ual, and, in a certain degree, also the
legal condition of woman is lately be-
ginning to take shape in accordance
with the principles of the women's
movement
The pressure of facts is gradually
convincing the public mind that the
traditional ideal German woman, so
ardently defended, is undergoing a
slow process of transformation. Will
lingly or unwillingly it is admitted that
economic and social conditions force a
continually increasing number of Ger
man women to earn their own living.
The hope Of turning the wheel of his
tory backward is more and more disap-
pearing, and while narrow-mindedness
ridicules as preposterous the efforts Of
well-to-do classes Of women, and their
purely ideal motives, even in tenacious
ly conservative circles, it is recognized
that women in their battle for exist
ence can no longer be denied their only
weapon-a thorough, universal and pro-
fessional education.
There is also an increasing willing
ness to open to women professions
hitherto closed to them by law or Gus
tom. The overcrowded state of the ira
ditional professions for women clearly
demands this. Nevertheless, this will
Iingness relates only to those employ
ments which are considered a priOri,
suitable to so-called woman's sphere"
Therefore, all professions which give
their holder a position of any social
power remain for the present and will
remain in the immediate future the
carefully guarded prerogative of men
All positions with an official Govern
ment salary attached, administration
the police department. etc, are by Gus
tom reserved for men, nor can womeI
be lawyers, clergymen or teachers il
universities, and the opposition to thu
demand for equal training for boyi
and girls has its strongest root in til,
dread that, after attaining an equa
standard in education women's profan
hands might be stretched out even to
ward those emplOyments.
The first breach, however, has bee
made. Since a year and lalf age
wcmen may take the State examina
tions in medicine and pharmacy at Gel
man universities. The long-projecte
appointment of women as assistan
factory inspectors in Prussia, Bader
Wurtemburg, Bavaria. Hesse, Saxon
and some of the Thuringian States a
well as their appointment as poor-la7
guardians and guardians of orphans
