Dressing Well on SIS a Year.

'NSlA ou PSo a
Let us first consider the gown in
which she is most frequently seen.
There are practically eight months Of
the year during which a wrap of some
description Is necessary, and to the
business woman the ready made suit is
blessing, not only because 1t is less
expensive than the custom-made gown,
but because Of the saving of time as
well, for all her shopping must be ac-
complished during the luncheon hour,
or, If the shopper be employed in
downtown establishment, before 8
O'Clock in the morning. Therefore, the
woman who heeds Benjamin Frank
Inns maxim: ''There is economy Of time
as well as of money" makes a point Of
reading the advertisements until she
finds among them line of ready-made
suits which answers her requirements
If she Is of ordinary size, there will be
no difficulty In procuring satisfactory
costume, but IL she is stout or under
cized the task will be an arduous one
for both clerk and customer. 1t Is not
bad plan to frankly state the purpose
for which the dress is needed, and the
largest sum to be expended for it.; then
If the saleswoman Is Of the right sort
and she usually is-she will find either
a sample suit or one which for some
reason is good bargain, and the Gus
toner not infrequently gets more than
her moneys worth. A cheviot, serge,
or Venetian cloth Of good cut, neatly
made and lined throughout, so that 1t
will be quite warm enough for even
cold weather, can be obtained for SIS.
This is not to be used for daily wear
during Its first season, but for e the
street, outside of business hours. A
visit to the theater or an occasional call
Is usually he extent of evening dissi-
patton that tired business woman
cares to indulge in, and If with this
gown she wears chiffon or mousseline
de sole waist, either white or of the
same shade as the gown, she Is as well
dressed as her friends will expect her
to be, for the woman who has brains
enough to make living for herself also
should possess sufficient good sense tc
appreciate the absurdity Of attempting
eNtravagant dressing Philadelphia

An Odd Method Of Heating Cars.

An Qua Method or Heating Cars.
The Northwestern Railway Company
Of England has equipped some of it's
trains with system of heating to
which the much-abused term unique"
may we'll be applied. Two concentric
cylinders are employed. the annular
space between which communicates
with a steam pipe extending from the
locomotive boiler. The inner cylinder
contains acetate Of Soda compound

Opinions About Women.

With somewhat depressing tenden-
cies the words of Margaret Evarts
holden may fall upon those women
who do not possess beauty, although
a Frenchman has declared that no
woman is ugly, but that there are some
who do not know how to look pretty.
If she is homely, the door of oppor-
tunity is firmly closed against her."
An extension Of this statement may
be found in a quotation from the ia
nous Marie Corelli, who, with posi-
tiveness probably born Of admiration
and wisdom gained by observation, an
nounces: "A man Is always a man; a
woman is only mans appendage, and
without beauty she cannot put forth
any just claim to his admiration and
support"
Amelie Rives, the celebrated author
of THE Quick and the Dead" musing
upon the memories of women, finds
them as indestructible as matter:
"Women's memories are like statues;
you may break them in pieces, you
may leave them out in the storms un-
til they are all discolored-you can
always put them together again. No
matter how strained they are, they
always retain their shape"
The oppositeness Of sex would seem
a very blessing. All share the opinion
of her own sex advanced by Lady
Mary Wortley Montague: 1T goes far
toward reconciling me to being WON.
an when l reflect that l am thus in
no danger of ever marrying one."
The inability of women to stand
alone is seemingly established by this
statement from Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe: MAN carves his destiny: wom-
an is helped to hers."-Ledger Monthly

What a Farmer shon1d Know.

In agriculture, as in manufactures,
success consists in securing the larg-
est and best production at the small
est expenditure Of force. time and
money. Evidently the farmer who
aims at such success must have an
understanding of plant life and what
proportion Of its sustenance 1t draws
respectively from the air and the SOIL
He must know the chemical const1tu-
ents of the latter and the treatment
which 1t requires to restore the plant
food exhausted by his crops. He must
have a knowledge Of the climates de-
manded by different cereals, vegeta-
bles and fruits. He must be acqualnt-
ed with the diseases and insect pests
which endanger both plant and AMI
NAL life. and should know how to treat
them. He should be familiar with the
principles Of animal nutrition and the
value of food In addition to all the
expert knowledge required. there are
those mental qualities which are de-
veloped by scientific training, keen
perception ana an alert habit of mind.

facts and hospitality to new ideas, to-

Health and Beauty Hints.

Health and Beauty Hints.
Old-fashioned lavender perfume has
come back to favor. 1t appears in the
list Of French extracts and sachets,
and it Is also used on artificial flowers
made in Paris. The odor of lavender
is agreeable to many who do not like
other perfumes.
An excellent recipe for the care Of
chapped hands and lips is as follows:
Dissolve in equal quantities of white
wax and sweet oil small piece of cam
phor. 1t should be put in stone jar
on the hob and melted. 1t must be kept
closely covered. Apply to the hands
after washing and previous to drying
them.
To ventilate without having a direct
draft, use board four or five inches
deep and just long enough to fit into
the window casing. This can be stained
or painted to match the woodwork, and
when in place and the window sash
pulled down to the top of it, 1t will
leave an open space In the center OF
the window between upper and lower
sashes), which will afford ample ven.
tilation without q direct draft.

Plant Trees on Farms.

the past winter further emphasizes the
necessity for planting trees on the
arms of the West. Corn has been
burned in many localities where wood
could not be had, where farmers have
heretofore depended wholly upon coal.
In other places hay, straw and beans
were used for fuel. None Of these
products make good fuel and many Of
them are expensive. Probably no.
where in the West has the success Of
planting trees been more apparent
than in South Dakota, and this State
Is an example of what may be done
by tree culture. Twenty-Five years
ago the State was practically barren
of timber. The timber claim law was
the favorite with landseekers. who
were after government land in those
days. and this law Is responsible for
the great growth Of trees that is now
found In that State, and which places
the farmers beyond dependence upon
the railroads or coal barons.-St. Paul

Growing Catch Crops.
Less attention seems to be given to
catch crops of late than their value
warrants. In certain sections where
the grain crops are harvested by the
middle or last of June. both peas and
sey beans may be sown and will fur
nish good food during the fall. In
colder sections buckwheat may be
made the catch crop and will be espe-
cially valuable on poor land where the
straw may be plowed under after har-
vest to furnish much needed humus to
the soil. Buckwheat is not appreciated
as 1t should be, especially on poor
soils. 1t Is an excellent crop to raise
where bees are part Of the farm out
fit. and If grown after a grain crop or
after an early hoed crop it will great
ly benefit the poorest soil by disposing
growth by its nature also adding hu
mus to the soil.
Cooling Milk.
Bottled milk cools quickly in a tank
OF ice water and can be kept cool by
small expenditure of ice. If bottle!

may be entirely submerged. In fact
several tiers may be placed In a vat
with thin boards between the tiers tc
keep them in upright position. ant
thus prevent breaking. If tin caps are
used for closing bottles. submergt
them up to the necks. Place the Ice IL
