Mirror as a Decoration.

A mirror is a very useful article
when it comes to house decorations,
and one the properties of which every
home decorator should understand.
A we1lplaced mirror has the effect
of a pool of water in garden. 1t
makes reflections, and pleasant
spot upon which the eyes may rest.
In dark corner a mirror is nearly
equal to a window-provided it re-
fleets bright portion of tile room.

Feeding Pigs and Hogs When Being
Pastured

fdSture0.
1t is always doubtful If it pays to
try to feed swine on pasture alone,
though this is often done. Pigs will
make a growth on pasture, especially
If it contains much clover; but we
doubt If the farmer is getting as
much out of it as he would be if
he fed the animals an additional ra-
ton of a more concentrated feed.
In a state of nature the animal is
compelled to get its living from the
herbage of the fields and from the
roots in the ground, but in such
state it never develops enough flesh
and fat to make it profitable product
for our meat trade. Its growth is
then slow and its development mus
cular. It becomes wiry. No one
wants to eat meat from a wfry hog
So we have to swing away from ma
ture, and SO feed that the texture of
the flesh of the animal will be tender.
To get this, quick growth is desired
and this can only be obtained by push
ing the Development by the feeding
Of rations in addition to those OBJ
tainable by the animal in the woods
and fields.

By all odds the smartest facing for
hats tc be worn with tailored dresses
is that built from narrow lingerie
frills. A facing of net is cut to fit the
hat, then covered with innumerable
ruff1es of narrow lace, either gathered
or accordion-pleated. .Valenciennes
lace lends itself best to this sort of
facing, and if a vest, collar and half
sleeves of lace edged founcing are
worn with the linen suit, the har-
monious effect with the hat is very
good.

Monday next, May Both, is the
day set apart, both by law and by
custom for decoration of the graves
of our soldier dead all over this
broad land.
While there will be no procession,
with waving flags and beating
drums, to march TO the cemetery,
yet faithful, loving hearts and
hands will be there to place the
victOr's crown of sweet-scented
flowers upon their lonely beds.
This is custom that we hope
shall last as long as loyalty to
country and true bravery shall be
characteristic of the American
people.
But while we do this for those
who wore the blue. we would not
neglect or forget those equally
brave who donned the gray and
yielded their all for what they be-
lieved to be right. They are bone
of our bone, flesh of our flesh
Americans all-the grandest, the
bravest the truest, that ever drew
sword or shouldered a gun. Like
the Spartans of old they know no
such word as defeat when united.
Let US then, one and all, Union
AMI Confederate, place the flowers
of affection upon their silent graves,
and thus teach our children that
the highest, grandest, truest thing
on earth is to be a brave. upright
AMI honest American citizen-ever
ready to die for the right.

ly youngest daughter, adds spinning to
the list Of her many accomplishments.
She is good spinner, and this is by
no means her only handicraft, for she
is an adept at wood carving and book
binding, as we'll as being clever
photographer. Before her marriage
Princess Maud occasionally appeared
in public as Miss Mills" when stay
ing with friends, and thus at garden
parties, ETC., she escaped any special
attention, and enjoyed herself as an
ordinary gentlewoman. Royal eti-
quette sometimes becomes very irk-
some to high-spirited young princesses,
and one Of Princess Maud's young
cousins of Connaught, in bemoaning
the fact to an elderly gentleman, a
h1end or their parents, remarked:

remember we are ladies'"

There's many woman with soul
among the stars who gets terrible
Jolt when the cook leaves.
Be pretty, youthful and happy while
you can. There's plenty Of time COM

Big, worthless ambitions often unfit
us for attending to the little noble ones
that we might easily realize.
When your dearest enemy refers &c
you as "that woman" you can know
there's nothing left for her to say.
We often wonder why some Of these
devoted followers Of changing fashions
do not claim that the stars are out Of
date.
It seems as if some women say snip
by things so that you can have the
pleasure of remembering, while they
have the pleasure Of forgetting.
You have all met those poor, unhap-
py, far-sighted souls, who never enjoy
the flowers Of summer because they
are so busy worrying about the ice of
winter.
