A Gaming Mode.

Fine Brussels net. or footing, is CO.

thin frocks. More than one dainty cre-
alton displayed in smart shops is
trimmed only with this footing. Bands

Swiss skirt IN place of tucls, insert

frosty-looklng net in this capacity can

The Hotbed on the Farm.


A hotbed Is almost a necessity ON the
farm. 1t is certainly luxury that once
indulged will never be lacking. II is
easy to be had, also All that is re-
quired is a bottomless box on the
ground from which the earth has been
removed to depth of from six to ten
inches and horse manure filled in and
trodden down to make warmth. the
manure to be covered with four inches
of fine soil in which to plant the seeds;
the box to be covered with cloth to
retain the heat at night, supplemented
with boards on cold nights. This is
the simplest kind of hot bed. and Is
within the reach of every one. II one
can go step further IL will be bet
ter; but with this simplest of all fore
ing arrangements one may have let
tuce and radishes for the table In a
surprisingly short time, and also cab
bage and tomato plants for early plant
ing.
For a hotbed more extensive take
boards of such lengths as You wish TO
have IT. either six, twelve, eighteen.
twenty-four or more feet, and having
dug out the earth to form a pit, say
twelve feet long by three feet wide
and one foot deep, place the boards In
the pit to form the walls of the hot
bed. The boards at the back, which
should be at the north or west, SO
as to get south or east exposure,
should be three or four inches higher
than those at Tia south or each, so the
covering may slant toward the south
or east. This box of boards twelve
geet long by three feet wide should be
partitioned off in the middle to keep
the twelve foot boards from sagging
in. Twelve inches Of fresh horse man.
ure should be filled into the pit and
trodden down firmly. II will quickly
generate heat, which may at first be
too great for seeds. 1t should there
fore be allowed to remain two or three
days for the most violent heat TO pass
off. Then cover the manure with four
inches of fine soil and plant the seeds
In 1t, either broadcast or In rows three
or four inches apart and a quarter of
an inch deep. Draw TIE lines for the
seed rows along the edge of a board
lying on the seed bed, cover in the
rows and place the board over them as
you proceed, pressing the board down
on the earth to firm it. This is one
of the essentials, to seed termination,
and should always be observed.-WiI-

ty per cent married Among educa-
tors the percentage is the lowest of
all. only 27.3. Perhaps this is due to
the fact that so many school boards
make the marriage of n woman teach
er ground for her dismissal.
AS to education; the statistics are
Incomplete, but so far as they go they
show that Ill per cent. of the women
were educated in public schools. thir.
ty-four per cent. in private schools and
15.5 per cent. in colleges. This is a
SOMEWHAT disappointing exhibit for
the higher education, but as a partial
explanation, it must be borne in mind
that n considerable number of these
women are at an age which implies
youth in period when women's col.
ieges We're not so numerous or of so
high a grade as they now are. The
largest percentage of college bred wo-
men is found among scientists. minis
ters and educators, but even the nun.
Der of educators who have had q col
lege training is less than one-half,
while in all the other professions less
than one-fourth are college women.
Perhaps the most surprising thing in
this comparison is that it seems TO
show that three times as many of
these successful women gained their
education in private as in public
schools.-Boston Transcript.
