Turnoyers and Collars.

Many of the new hand-wrought col
lars are not turnovers at all, but
merely supplementary collars with
tabled or pointed fronts. These are
usually curved at the top in front, and
are worn fiat over a foundation or
dress collar, or without any support.
Some of these are made in heavy
linen with raised embroidery in white,
and these have body enough to hold
them up in shape, but the finer ones
need some support. The tabs npon

Sprinc Tailor Mades.

There are some pretty ideas to be
found in the spring tailored suit. The
short skirt is at its best when pleated.
Some of the models show yokes on
skirts again. A walking costume in a
mixed red and black wool has the
skirt, with the exception of a narrow
front apron, laid in wide side pleats,
with a spreading box pleat in the back.
The blouse coat crosses front and
back in surplice fashion and fastens
with large black cloth buttons. There
is a pointed yoke of black cloth, en-
broidered with black braid and mar.

in the lattice about three inches

hangs a crochetted ball. The sleeves
and the skirt are trimmed with the

FOR SAFETY OF TRAVELLERS
Device Of Berlin Underground Electric
Railway to Render Third
Rail Harmless.

The Berlin elevated and under
ground electric railway has installed
in the drivers compartment short
circuiting switch. so that the current
passing along the third rail may be
earthed and the fuses blown at the
power station, thus rendering the Sec
lion dead. An alternative means of
short circuiting is afforded by a port
able bar which is provided with in
sulating brushes of some length, and
which can be placed by the driver
across the third and return rails.
These devices are intended only for
use in the tunnel sections of the rail-
way if it should be necessary for pas
sengers to alight from a train and
proceed to the next station, or to the
escape shafts which are being formed
between the stations. The tunnels are
now lighted from two independent cir
cults at intervals of 50 feet, and fire
extinguishers are located in them at
intervals of 325 feet. The hydrants
and sand boxes at the stations have
been doubled, and each station is di-
rectly connected with the fire brigade
by means of an alarm wire. In addi-
ton to these arrangements the car
riages are equipped with portable sand
boxes and with other fire extinguish-
Ing appliances using water.

MONEY IN SQUAD RAISING.
Fine Results Are Obtained bv Those
Who Conduct the Industry
in the Right Way.

The keeping of pigeons has become
a regular business in some sections,
compared with ten years ago, and a
great deal of interest is now being
taken in the pigeon as a source of
profit. The first essential is to have
a good house and yard, and to have the
yard wired. in order to confine the
birds. The house should be arranged
TO permit of abundant floor room, the
nests to be along the sides. The
Homer pigeon is largely used, an excel
lent mating being the Dragon and
HSmer. Be sure that the sexes are
equal, as pigeons pair and keep the
same nests. Mice in the nests must
be guarded against, and lice will de-
stroy all profit Give nesting mate
rails for the birds, and include tobacco
leaves, which will assist in keeping
lice away. Fresh Dalmatian insect
powder should be freely used in the
nests on the first indication of lice,
and cleanliness must be enforced. The
yard should be at least ten feet high.
of any size preferred, and should have
roost1ng poles at different heights, on
which the birds may alight. Keep a
salt Goldfish hung where the birds can
have access thereto, supply gravel,
coursely ground bone, wheat, cracked
corn, sorghum seed, millet seed, and a
green food of some kind, as the birds
will help themselves to what is de-
sired by them. The squads are sold

two, last year, and hived about sc
swarms with them, with only one par
tial failure; for one swarm was partly
out when I put it on, and about half of
the bees settled in Tree.
After Is or 20 minutes the swarm is
all in, and the bees quiet. l even fix
hive in the shade of one of my trees, take
my swarm which is secure in the
catcher to the hive, remove the cone
from the catcher and shake the bees out
in front of the hive in the usual man
ner. Or, if I am in the midst of some
work that I want to finish can set the
swarms in the shade until ready to hive
it. Sometimes, when I have had them
both in use at the same time a third
swarm would come out and alight on the
outside of one catcher; but it is an easy
matter to brush those on the outside in
front of an empty body, and then hive
the other few rods distant.
There are good many advantages in
the catcher, the most important of which
is that over the old way of letting the
bees choose their own place to cluster.
This is especially true where there are
tall trees, or when the apiarist is lady,
or when the bees are left in charge of
younger member of his family. M.

and attracted considerable public at
tention. Some little time after this
they were brought to the attention of
the American fanciers, who have done
much to improve them in this coun-
try. The brakes of this variety weigh
from Az to five pounds, the ducks
about a pound less. They begin to lay
when quite young. 1t is reported that
some have been known to produce eggs
when less than five months old, and
in addition to this they are credited
with having produced as many as 12G
eggs in year. The eggs of the true
variety have a white shell and are not
quite so large as those of other varie-
ties. One of their advantages is the
fact that they are great foragers, and
will go all over the farm in search of
animal food, such as bugs and worms
of all kinds, of which they are very
fond. Frequently they will start out
as soon as it is daylight in the morn
ing and only return home in the eve
ming to be fed This is a disadvan-
tage, as they must be confined in the
house every night and kept there in
the morning until they have dropped
their eggs, which they will usually do
prior to ten or IL o'clock in the morning
The crossing with other ducks has
increased their size, but detracted from
the original or proper type of the duck
and spotted or changed the color of the
plumage. There are now two shades
of color, but only one true one-fawn
and white. The colors in the best
specimens are divided as in the illus,
tration taken from the Feathered
World. The other color is gray. Our
Standard declares for fawn or gray
(fawn preferred) and white; but the
gray and white are the result of cross
ing; in addition to this many of the
females have in their plumage the in
distinct markings like those in the
plumage of the Rouen female-only
appearing, of course, in the darker
color. Rather too much announcement
of this improper marking has been
given in the show room, where speci-
mems plainly so figured have gained
the prizes. There should be an effort
in favor of the distinctive colors of
fawn and white, properly divided.
When Matched, their bills are yellow;
as they grow older, they turn a green
ish color and have black beam at the
end of the bill. The tail plumage of
both is of a darker shade of fawn.
which is darker in the male than in
the female. There should not be any
trace of black in the tail or wing.
These ducks are becoming quite pop-
ular on the farm, as they do not care
SO much for the water as do some
other kinds, and lay large number
of eggs for waterfowl. Where one male
is provided for every five females. the
eggs are usually fertile, and the duck
lings very easy to grow. If we'll cared
for, they will dress at from 31b to
AZ pounds during the winter, and the
young make splendid broilers.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

POULTRY YARD PARAGRAPHS.

Don't forget lime and gravel. Both
are necessary in the poultry yard.
Be sure of clean water for the
chicks and keep their roosting place
clean.
Success or failure of the poultry sea-
son depends upon the days and nights
now passing.
Rats are likely to be bad this time
of year. Don't neglect them till they
get some of your best broods.
Feed coops are very necessary to
keep the large chicks and fowls from
tramping the little ones to death.
Watch the hen that first comes off
the roost and that last retires at night.
She is said to be the best layer.
There ought to be a shallow box
full of dust in every poultry house,
both winter and summer, and ii
should be often renewed. A constant
dust bath is the very best remedy fol

Excess of salt is not good for fowls:

THE INDIAN RUNNER DUCK.
A New Variety in This Country, But
Quite Popular in Europe
and in Asia.

While the Indian Runner is new
variety of duck, SO far as the exhibit

world. In writing of them. Mr.. j.
Donald says that they originally came
from India to England something over
so years ago. Not great number of
them were secured at first. Those first
received were bred together and their
offspring bred in like manner and
crossed with other varieties of ducks.
Shortly before 1890, they were taken
up and bred through form and color.
Soon after this they made their appear
