a Graceful VISITING Gown.

A particularly graceful visiting gown
Is OF n soft shade of blue cloth. The
yoke and the lower part of the sleeves
arc of buff embroidered chiffon, while
the panel front of the skirt, the berthe
and the extensions from the yoke to
the belt are appliqued with graceful
scrolls for which Corticclli silk Is EN-.
ployed. The lower part of the skirt is
ornamented with several wide tucks.
This model fully emphasizes the fact
that the tablier front is to be well
represented among the new gowns,
not alone those intended for afternoon
but for evening wear as well. 1t will
perhaps interest our readers to know
of a recently imported skirt in which

HOME AND FASHIONS
Modes OF Trimminq.

A favorite trimming is a broad,
double fold put on as a tuck. or, when
<Altly gathered, a %iounCe. From one
tO-fve of these. according to their
width, frequently adorn skirts, where
they are arranged in a aig.zag move.
ment in preference to a straight line.
Sometimes they are OF the same color
and material as the costume, at 9th.
ers contrasting both IN color and tex.
tile, in which case either silk or vel.
vet is employed.
Another effective trimming consists
of a very heavy description of lace Of
extremely large design. through which
black velvet of the very narrowest
width is passed SO as to follow the
frame and contours OF the design. The
same idea is also carried out with col.
ored velvet OF two or three different
Colors. and is very decorative. This
is more an adornmcnt for cloaks and
bodices than skirts, on o Of the
weight.

A Puritan Conscience.

Here is a story the Youths Compan.
ion tells of a little New England girl
the workings Of whose Puritan con.
science involved her in difficulties on
n occasion. ..
She was studying mental arithmetic
at school, and took no pleasure In 1t.
One day she told her mother with
much depression of spirit that she
had failed again in mental arithme-
tic" and on being asked what problem
had proved her undoing. she sorrow
fully mentioned the request for the
addition of nine and four"
And didn't you know the answer.
DEAR" asked her mother.
"Yss'm," said the little maid. "but
you know we are to write the "
on our states, and before | thought |
made four marks and counted up,
ten, 'leven, twelve, thirteen and
then of course | knew that wasn't
mental, so | wrote twelve for the
answer, to be fair"

Past Profits In Strawberries.

1t is interesting to go back In
mind to the time when strawberry
growing first became popular In this
country. The real interest in straw.
berry raising began just before the
Civil War. Strawberries of the cul.
tivated varieties were then very un-
common. The wild ones sold for per.
haps 10 cents a quart. When the
improved varieties came into the
market they commanded a very high
price, especially Just before or after
the natural season for the wild ones.
BY the end OF the war the profitable
culture of Strawberries was drawing
a good deal of attention. Men made
from $500 to $500 on single acres OF
ground. The phenomenal prohts In.
duced thousands to rush into the
business. In time the prices dropped
so that man. c%ultivators that went in
with high hopes of making great for.
tunes abandoned the business In dis.
gust. Following that came q season
when the industry OF strawberry grow
ing had settled down to a commercial
enterprise on commercial lines,
where 1t has remained ever since.
Though the profits are not now phe.
nomenal, yet they are sufficient to
insure a continuance Of the very large
supplies OF the most popular OF all
berries.

Ritinn and Sucking lnsects.

Briefly stated. there are two classes
Of insects-biting and sucking. The
latter group includes those Insects
which injure the plants by inserting
their tube like mouth parts into the
plant tissue and draw up the sap Of the
plant. Common forms of these insects
are the scale insects. red spiders. wooley
aphis and other plant lice. The rene.
dy must be one that kills by contact
with the insect body such as kerosene.
Kerosene emulsion and the soap mix.
lures. The biting insects are those
which chew and swallow some portion
OF the plant or fruit. The grass-hop-
per, many beetles and the codling moth
Larvae are good illustrations. The d.
rect poison. such as Paris green or
other arsenicals. which can be applied
to the part Of the plant that Is eaten by
the insect are the surest remedies

The catalpa tree Is growing in favor
as a tree for fence posts. 1t Is a quick
grower. as trees 60. and the wood will
last a long time when used for fence
posts. Hardy varieties only should
be grown.
The reason why more trees are not
planted is that 1t takes too long to
bring them to any size. The farmer
wants quick returns.

A Novel Game.

Here's a game that Is enjoyed by
every one who plays It. Make two
cornucopias OF fairly stiff paper. leav.

pass pieces of Irvine through. Take
two pieces OF string. and slip each
through one cornucopia. stretching
them two feet apart, as tight as you
a across the room, fastening the
ends to either wall.
The strings should be high enough
from the ground to enable you to blow
into tho cornucopia. The object of
the game is for two people to stand
at tho end OF the strings and blow
into the large openings OF the cornu.
copias, and see which one can get
II across the room first.
II takes a person with a good pair
OF lungs to send II the length of the

Sweet Corn.

Sweet corr for family use should be
planted at different times throughout
the season, that the users may have
it coming on at convenient periods.
The same Is true " green corn Is to
be sold In the market. There are sew.
eral advantages In the raising OF
sweet corn. One Of them Is that sweet
corn can be harvested much cheaper
than can field corn. as the harvesting
consists only In going through the
fields and swapping off the ears that
are ready to use. Another advantage
Is that the stalks may be fed green
to the mich cows, and will produce
a large In that way, provided
a farmer have several cows that are
giving milk. The fact that 1t does
not all reach marketable size at the
same time makes It far easier to han.
die the crop than Is the Ease with
field corn. In addition, there Is no
fear of fall frosts. for the corn does
not have to be ripened and thus
makes the necessary growth in a
much shorter season than does the
field crop. In fact. sweet corn can
be grown much farther north than
can the corn for common uses.

Starting Cantaloupes.

Catalogues can be started In hot
houses and afterward transferred to
the fields. In some vineyards the
practice Is followed OF sowing one
seed in a box the size OF q cigar box
and allowing It to develop to good
size before transplanting. The boxes
are then taken to the field and the
sides and ends torn of. the bottoms
being left to hold the roots in place.
When placed In the ground the plants
go on growing as II nothing had hap.
pened. for the pieces of boards re.
naming do not prevent the spread OF
the roots laterally. The advantages
of this method are several. One OF
them is that while the plants are IN.
der glass they are protected from
their insect enemies and make q good
growth. After they become strong
and vigorous. insects do them little
harm. or course another advantage
is that the melons are ripened several
weeks earlier than they otherwise
wouli be.

Sweet Glover as a Soil Ameliorant.

Bulletin 233, Ohio Station: Those
who have carefully observed the hab-
It's OF the wild sweet clover (other-
wise known as Bokhara clover or mel
ilot) have noticed that It's volunteer
growth is practically confined to road
sides where the surface soil has been
scraped away or where the ground has
been puddled by trampling. and to sim
liar locations elsewhere, such as the
bottoms OF abandoned brickyards or
places in pasture fields where the soil
has been trampled while wet, or hill
sides from which the surface soil has
been washed away. 1t Is practically
never found invading pastures or
other lands which have been kept In
good condition. At the Ohio Expert
ment Station the seeus of this plant
have repeatedly been sown on soils
which were merely thin. but not
washed or puddled. but invariably
without success. The only case in
which 1t has been induced to grow
was where 1t was sown on the bottom
OF IN old brickyard at Columbus In
1888. Here = full stand and vigorous
growth was obtained, and the crop
was allowed to stand and re-seed itself
until the fall Of 1891. when It was
plowed under and the land sown to
wheat. The result was a yield OF 26.9
bushels OF wheat per acre on the land
where melllot had grown. against a
yield OF 1876 bushels on similar land
alongside. which had been cropped
with corn and oats the two seasons
previously.
