CLEANS OUT VERNIN.

writer in the Scientific American
says he has cleared his premises OF
vcrmin by making whitewash yellow
with copperas and covering the stones
ana rafters in the cellar with it. In
every crevice in which a rat might go
he put the copperas and scattered it
in the corners of the floor. The result
was complete disappearance OF rats
ana mice. Since that time not rat
or mouse has been seen near the house
Every spring the cellar is coated with
the yellow whitewash as a puriie.,.

phoid, dysentery or fever attacks the

THE NEW EARRING.

The explanation for the new style in
earrings is the change in the shoulder
line. In place Of the Gibson square
shoulder the smart thing this season is
the droop of 1880. Anything that will
exaggerate this effect is welcome. Pen
dant earrings accomplish this and also
make the round face look oval The
ear has to be pierced to hold securely
the weight of the new elongated ear
ring. In this hole is placed the dia-
mond stud, and from this base hang
pendants of rubies, large, pear.shaped
pearls or pigeon-blood rubies. Some
very elaborate earrings have an addi-
tional dangle of small diamonds or any
stone that will add to the brilliancy of
the trinket.
The customers who desire uncommon
effects purchase the parti.coored ear
rings; from one ear will dangle a big
black pearl and from the other will
dangle pink pearl.
The earring OF the Elizabethan and
Stuart periods is the modish one to-
day.
Very likely followers OF extreme
fashion this season will adopt the style
Of the single earring.

DRESS THE HAIR SIMPLY.

With the coming Of simple lines in
gowns and wraps, and the passing Of
floppy effects. we may perhaps hope to
be relieved of the exaggerated styles
of hair dressing that have SO long pre-
vailed.

hanging down over one eyebrow, great
horns carried forward beyond the fore

grotesqueness. could never have been

POTATO TUBERS AND SEED.

1t is well known that the potato
plant does not now produce the guam
tity Of the seed balls that it did thirty
or more years ago. Professor L. X.
Jones, of the University of Vermont,
is of the opinion that this is not a
sign of weakness, neither is it the re.
suit Of paris green poisoning. but that
it represents change in the life
history OF the plant, brought about by
cultivation. We have continually bred
away from seed production to tuber
production, and we could doubtless
breed back again if we desired, to seed
production. at the expense of tuber
production.

ANIMAL RECORDS

Pedigree and outward points now

records OF the animals. The horse that
rots the fastest, the COW .hat yields
the most milk and butter and the
sheep that produces he heaviest
fleece, whether possessing a noble
pedigree or not, will stand at the head
until their records are beaten. The an
