are not to be transferred by wholesale,
but the processes of adaptation will leave
some features of the old modes untouch-
ed or so little altered that they can be
readily traced. The accompanying
touches of the current time will be less
assertive and. so far as most model get
ups now indicate. they will be in har-
mony with pictare effects rakcd up from
the past.
1t is promised that good taste shall
dominate all these snowy fancies, and it
Is quite true, as claimed. that if women
generally accept such standards there
will be small cause for regret But the
radical ideas of designers usually are
moderated more or less by the time a
majority of women are suited, and it is
not unlikely that the most striking Of
the new modes will fSaHy be reserved
for elaborate dressers exclusively. For
others the suggestions of bygone pictur-
sequences may be diminished, though it
is likely to come in evidence in some de,
gree somewhere in the costume. You'll
find among the new materials hints OF an
attempt to satisfy both the admirers Of
SNOWY effects and those Of more moderate
tastes. Take silks, which are TO be
again to the fore for dressy use; there

CHAPTER XIX

When Laroon called Paul out from
the room where the guest was eating, he
went at once TO private apartment, and
closed the door Paul wondered what
all this meant, for the pirate showed by
his countenance that he had some pur-
nose in it. After they had gained this
place, Mari walked up and down the
room several times before he spoke, and
during that time he seemed TO be in
nervous thought.

REvIvfNG THE WATER JousT.
Feature of London's Forthcoming tx.
hibition of Sports and Games.


hibition of Sports and Games.
When the exhibition of sports and
games is opened at the Crystal Pal
ace an attempt will be made to popu-
larize the old English sport Of water
fitting.
The water joust was a popular
pastime with young Englishmen of the
fifteenth century. Occasionally it has
been seen at isolated carnivals in mod
ern days. In France it has been pop
ular for some years. and many French
picture postcards show exciting mo-
ments in the game.
Two fiat-bottomed boats, similar in
construction to punt, are padded by
ten men who sit in pairs, while one
man paddles one le of the boat and
his ''neighbor' the other. At the stern
Of each boat there is platform which
juts out from four to six feet over the
water
The players who stand on these two
platforms are provided with a lance,
twenty feet in length. and furnished at
int emu Win lIiLtG SplhGS, W nAlC
round each mans chest is strapped a
target. 1t is the object OF each owner
of the lance to knock his opponent
from off his platform into the water,
and a thrust is 'out of order which
does not strike the target
In addition to 'joutes a Ia lance"
pelota, the national game of the
Basques, win be played at the Crystal
Palace, and a famous team Of players
have promised to give an exhibition of
the game, which is in some respects
similar to racquets, although the pelota
court is longer, and the ''pelotaris," or
players, are furnished with bats in the
shape of curved wickerwork baskets.
The game is extremely popular in
various parts of Spain, and a skilled
player frequently earns a considerable
fortune in few years.
4 special jury will be appointed for
the games, consisting OF British and
foreign experts, who will award the
prizes, which comprise a diploma OF
honor and gold, silver and bronze
medals-London Daily Mail.

To Cure Sucking Cows.

There are many plans for breaking
self-sucking COWS of the habit, but
some of them are complex, while with
others the animal soon learns how to
get the better of any device which is
attached to her. There is one appli-
ance. however, which seems to work
to perfection, and it is made and APP
piled in the following manner: The
usual halter is placed on the head of
the COW and a ring is fastened in it
just under her neck. Then a strap or
Il strong rope is placed about her body
just behind her forelegs. From this
strap or rope another strap is run,
having at the end crupper such as is
used on horses. This is placed in the
proper position under heS tail. Then
pole is secured sufficiently long to
reach nearly to the middle of her body
TO q joint just beneath the ring fast
ened in the halter. \ hole is bored
in either end of the pole and it is tied

Potato Cron of the Year.

Reports from all of the main potato
producing sections indicate, In the
aggregate, fair crop. In some sec
tons the blight has been very severe,
but, generally speaking. the crop will
be fairly satisfactory. Bearing in mind
the trouble experienced with the
tubecS quickly rotting during storage,
last winter, housekeepers will be
little cautious about laying in supply
for winter, so it seems to he good adj
vice to urge the sale of the main crop
rs soon after digging as possible if a
fair price can be had. Especially does
this seem good judgment where one
has no place for storing the crop on
the farm while waiting for better
prices.

Wheat After Corn:

One of the most serious objections
10 following corn with wheat is that
the corn shock rows are difficult to
seed, and if not seeded they grow up
to weeds the following summer The
best way of avoiding this is to go
through the field and cut the two
rows of corn where the shock rows
are to be. Go across the field cutting
one row at a time, laying the punches
over in the standing corn, opposite
where the shock should stand. Cut
the other row. and lay opposite the
bundles left in cutting the first row
After cutting out these rows and one
or two at the ends to keep from being
broken down. follow with the harrow
and drill Then pass through the field
md set up the corn by using a horse,
or by setting the two bundles together
and tying. spreading the butts of the
stalks TO make shock more stable If
properly done there will be no trouble
with shocks falling down. The cut
ting can then be finished and the rest
Of the field seeded. and that with little
or no loss of time.
