Advance models Of summer linen
shirt waist suits.
New styles of spring millinery appear
to run to light colOrs,
Figured liberty satins are to still be
used over summer silk gowns.
Notably severely stitched girdles
mark many of the latest gowns.
Only the suggestion of a long waist
in front is en- regle for the spring.
Flufiness, chicness and cuteness will
be the watchwords of the summer girl
of 'O2.
White Swiss with black polka dots
is to create many Of the most swagger
summer gowns.
For evening wear a four-founced
skirt of net, lace or mousseline de sole
is a decided novelty.
The extremely broad-shouldered ef-
feet is still a noticeable style feature
Of all the latest garments
White and linen color are first favor
ties for shirt waist suits, then navy
and pale blue are close seconds.
Ballet shirt-like neck ruffs of black
or white are new, but scarcely so soft
or becoming as the ruche shape.
Dress arbiters state most positively
that the mode is slowly but surely
tending toward more yOluminous dress
skirts.
Faggoting is an odd new hand
worked establishment for wash gowns,
giving the effect of a unique linen in
sorting.
While pOmpadOur effects are to be
the smartest Of the season, they will
be pompadour in color and suggestion
of combination, but scarcely pomp1-
/ dour in absolute outline.

Bloomered Rainy Dnisles.

A new style in Tainy-day costumes
was exhibited in Philadelphia by two
women, evidently strangers in the city.
From the waists up the suits were
not unusual in appearance, but under
the long coats boomers were visible
The latter were made very full indeed
and extended to the ankles, where they
met with mannish shoes. The women
were most ladylike in appearance, and
the striking suits had undoubtedly been
developed by first class tailors. The
couple were evidently mother and
daughter. The older woman's suit was
a dark gray, while the younger ones
garments were of blue broadcloth.-

There are those who advocate that
all poultry at exhibitions should be
judged by comparison, and not by
score cards. We do not favor this idea
at all. We want to see where the
judges think the prize winners are SUI
perior, and where they pronounce them
to be lacking in the points that make
up 4 good bird. If the head, neck, tail,
legs or weight is not what they consid-
er up to the standard, let US see what
and where the fault is. We may not
agree with the judges but we shall be
quite as likely to do so as we should

The Sparkling Shoe.

The spangling and beading which

frocks to hosiery Of late has reached
the tongues OF slippers, not being con

slipper is now cut very broad, spread

Fruit Intended For Storage.

At the annual meeting of the Ontario
Fruit Growers Association the follow
ing points were brought out and appar-
emily proven by the experience Of the
shippers present 1t was claimed that
fruit too ripe before being picked could
not be prevented from decay by cold
storage That with apples in tight bar
rels it required nearly a week to reduce
the apples in the centre OF the barrel
to the temperature of the storage room,
and that in that time decay might be-
gin That for most OF fruits excepting
those most perishable, the cold air
blast was sufficient to keep them in
good condition, and that for perishable
fruit it was of the greatest Importance
to pick at the right stage OF ripeness
or before fully ripe, put it in the cool
ing room as quickly as possible, and
not to move it until it was thoroughly
cooled to the very centre of the pack
age. Failures to have fruit come out
of cold storage in good condition have
been a result Of lack of knowledge of
these facts than of failure to have
the storage temperature right, for the
public storehouses nearly all have Il
knowledge Of the temperature need for
the many different products they store.

There is always more or less com
paint in winter about bitter butter.
and wonder is expressed why II should
be so.
Butter very easily gets "oG flavor"
ana one principal cause Is q want Of
proper cleanliness In the stables when
the milk is being drawn
The rank odors and filth OF a stable
very easily inject milk with a faint
which remains with it until it comes
to the chun, and then peculiar taste
is transferred to the butter; no amount
Of rinslng and washing can remove it,
The secret lies in not allowing the
filth to fall into the pail, and in giving
the stables proper ventilation and thor
ough daily cleaning.
If a sufficient amount Of good bed
ding is given the COWS it VIII largely
obyiate the necessity of cleaning their
udders at each milking in order to pre-
vent the filth from coming in contact
with the milk
This may seem a small matter, but
when the butter goes to market the ex-
act difference between pure and i'm
pure fayors in it will make the differ
ence in prices that are offered.-The
Dairyman.

Horseshoe Nail Rings.

Finger rings made Of horseshoe nails!
They are certainly not pretty or grace
full, but they are said to bring good
luck to the wearer on certain condi-
tons.
To be a genuine charm the ring must
be made from a nail taken from a
horseshoe found by the owner herself
and nobody else This is taken to a
jewcIer, who bends it to fit her little
finger and cuts off the superfuous
length.
The ring is not welded together, and
the head of the nail stands for the set
ting. There's no way of proving it,
but those who have adopted these or
naments say that they bring just as
much luck as a horseshoe itself hung
over the door with the ends up.

Suggestions For Making Wire Fence.

Suggestions For Making Wire Fence.
The posts for wire fence should be
driven in the springas soon as the frost
is out of the ground. 1t will make a
better fence If the Wire is not put on
until the ground has become settled
and is solid around the posts, so they
will not give when the wire is being
stretched and nailed on Always set
the posts in a straight line. If the di-
rectiOn Of the fence must change, even
though but Slightly, set the posts in
straight line to a certain place and
there make the change on one post,
being sure to have that post well
braced II the posts are set in n curved
line, or zigzag, the Wire will tend TO
draw them into a straight line, and in
a short time the wire will begin to sag,
and the stability OF the fence will be
greatly impaired.
All corner or end posts should be
well braced, also several other posts
if the fence is any great length in one
direction The best way to make the
corner posts solid is not by bracing
them with pole or rail, for in wet
times the post is likely to be raised out
of the ground, but by letting the top
wire run to the ground and there fast
en- to a large stone or log in the man
ner that linemen anchor telegraph
poles Then if there are not too many
small posts the fence should remain
solid through wet or dry seasons.-Al-
vim Ginter, in American Agriculturist.
