Pretty Ponaee coIorina.

The shantung and pongee silks have
appeared in champagne, ciel blue, re-
seda, green, pale pink and othe deli
cate or unusual shades, and are being
made up into effective shirtwaist cos

One of the delicate grayish blue
pongees rejoices in the name of Par

and rather bright yellow is termed
Yeddo.
The rough, unevenly woven pongee

the most fashionable, as it is also the
most lasting. These silks come as

Fruits Out of Season.

The wife of wealthy fruitgrower
surprised her friends during the hoii-
days by serving watermelons, musk
melons, plums and grapes as fresh
as when they were gathered Asked
to tell the secret, she replied: ct is
the simplest thing in the world; any
one can preserve fresh fruits in the
same way. The melons 1 first dip in
a wax preparation and coat the stems
with sealing wax. After this I coat
them with thick coat of shellac and
bury them in box of sawdust to
keep them from rubbing together and
from freezing. The plums are coated
in the wax only, but the plums and
other fruits are coated with the wax
and then with the shellac. All are
carefully packed in sawdust."

Return to olden STYLES.

Early summer styles indicate re.
turn to the charming old fantasies of
our great grandmothers, brought to
up-to-date requirements by the mod
ern loom.
These are fiowered organdies, old
time grenadines in plaids or besprin-
kled with sprigs of flowers. veilings of
every variety, mounting in the scale
from simple voiles to crepe voiles and
voile chiffons.
Colors can only be described as in
describable. Every possible gradation
of shade and light is extracted from
a primary color. In fact, the new
school is a wonderful school in color
training. One no longer hears of bril-
liant orange Is a touch of color. 1t
is the fashion to deal in tawny yellow,
dregs of champagne, banana tints and
almond leaf greens.

Account With the Fields,

There are numerous account books
| especially arranged for keeping ac-
count of the cost and production Of
the various parts of the farm. They
cost but little and will be found of
value to the farmer provided he can
make up his mind to use them and
keep his mind made up to that effect.
The greatest trouble with trying to
keep account with each field is that
the farmer neglects the items of eX-
pense and receipts, after a short time.
In great and small business establish
mentS particular persons are selected
to have the matter of bookkeeping in
hand. 1t g found quite impossible
for the man that does the buying and
selling or even for the general mana
ger to keep the books. 1t is there
made the work of one particular per-
son Or set of persons. This will be
found to be also the best way on the
farm. If there is a bright boy or girl
that is interested in mathematics the
farm accounts are likely to be kept.
Otherwise they are about sure to be
neglected. 1t is easy enough to ad-
wise the farmer to keep account of
everything ne buys and sells. 1t is
quite another thing to point out to
him any practical method of doing so,
where he himself has to keep all the
items of receipts and disbursements.
Yet the farmer needs to know these
things as certainly as the city mer-
chant needs TO know them. If the
farmer himself has to keep his own
accounts the only practical way for
him is to carry always in his pocket
small blank book and put down all
the items Of sale and purchase as
soon as they occur. This book can be
later written up into a larger one.
1t pays to keep an account with the
fields.

Heiuht of Waves.

1t has been decided that the aver
age height of all the waves running
in a gale in open sea are about twenty
feet. But the height of individual
waves varies considerably. VAUGHAN
Cornish reports to the Royal Geo
graphical society: During a strong
gale in the north Atlantic, with a
heavy sea of more than ordinary reg
ularity, l have observed il the course
of morning numerous waves from
thirty feet up to measured height
of not less than forty feet, when the
average of all the waves was perhaps
twenty-five feet. 1t is, l think, clear
that in any statement we may make as
to the size of the waves in a gale st
sea. we ought not to neglect the men
ton of the larger waves which occTr
at fairly frequent intervals. These,
which | term the ordinary maximum
waves, are, l think, what seamen real
~ refer to when they state the size
of the waves met with during a
Ete1rm at sea. About forty feet is
q common estimate of the height of
the larger waves in a severe gale il.
the north Atlantic, and this estimate
is not really incompatible with the re-
corded average of little more than
twenty feet"

To Clean White Velvet.

1t is almost impossible to clean
white velvet in a perfectly satisfac-
tory manner. However, it may be
greatly freshened by an application of
chloroform. First brush and beat the
velvet free of all dust. Pin the velvet
smoothly on an ironing board, or it
may be stretched in an embroidery
hoop, and have plenty of clean white
cloths at hand. Dip a cloth in chloro-
form, rub lightly over the spot until
it disappears, then, with a clean cloth,
rub over the entire surface of the vel
vet to remove all soil on the nap. Do
the work very rapidly and finish by
rubbing with another clean white
cloth. Haste is absolutely essential
because of the volatile nature of the
cleaning fluid and also to avoid a

SiIkworm Culture,

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. c., is investigating
the possibilities of silkworn culture
in the United States. 1t is hoped that
it may in time be developed to such
an extent as to prove of benefit to
those members of families whose time
is not altogether occupied in other
ways, and also to other persons in
small way as a side issue. To persons
wishing to experiment, and who can
furnish proper food for the worms, the
Department is distributing free Of
charge small quantity of silkworm
eggs and also a manual Of instruc-
tons. The proper food for SilkWorms
consists of leaves from the different
varieties of white mulberry tree and
the Usage orange. The paper null
berry with the fuzzy leaves) is not
suitable, nor is the common red null
berry. AS the season is now open, ap-
plications for the eggs should be made
at once, and must be accompanied by
a statement as to the number and kind
OF mulberry trees or the amount of
Usage orange which the applicant pos
sesses; otherwise the eggs Will not be
sent. II the variety of mulberry is not
known to the applicant, a sample of
large leaves should be sent to the De-
partment. The Department of Agri-
culture buys the cocoons which the
worms spin, paying for them (after
they have been dried (75 cents to 81
a pound, according to their quality.
The work will prove an interesting
pastlme tor women and children who
can devote to it odd minutes during
the day.

HIieh-Grade Fertilizers Best,

The wise farmer will buy only high
grade fertilizers and will not be
caught by the cry of cheapness. If
one brand Of certain kind of fertil-
izer sells for half what another brand
sells for it is almost certain that il
contains less than half of the fertil-
izing elements to be found in the
other. The manufacturers would as
soon sell the high-grade as the low
grade, but are compelled to put a
cheap brand on the market to hold
their trade against competition. There
are a great many people in every
walk of life tnat are caught by the
idea of cheapness. They seldom look
into the merits of an article. They set
it down as truth that the man that
is charging the high price is trying
to swindle them, and that the man
that sells the cheap article is the hon.
est and friendly fellow. If people will
persist in looking at things in this
way, they must expect to get q bad
bargain in almost every case. Espe-
cially is this so with fertilizers, which
have to pay the cost OF transporting
and OF handling. The useless material
that is put in to cheaper the whole
product costs the farmer something,
though it is of no value to his land.
1t costs something to mix it with the
hieh-grade material, and it costs. as
we have said, the transportation
charges. The high-priced goods are
generally the cheaper goods. When a
farmer buys fertilizers he should pay
no attention at all to the cost per ton.
but should figure out how many
pounds of phosphoric acid, potash
and nitrogen he is getting. Then he
should get as little waste material
with it as possible, that he may save
OF the carrying charges.

SiciIienne Promenade Costume.

All Of the sheer and lightweight
fabrics are highly favored of fashion,
and none more so than the siciliennes,
with their silky surface and Gust-re-
pelling qualities. A safe-au-lait tint
in sicilienne has much shirring and
depends upon fancy gold braids for
decoration. The blouse coat has a
chasuble yoke defined with braids,
the shoulder being extended down
over the arm, and shirrings appear
on each side of the chasuble to af-
ford the fullness which is pleated into
the deep featherboned girdle. The
skirt is shirred around the hips, and
shirred founce is applied beneath a
band of fancy gold braid The shir-
ring is executed with the oscillating
stitch of the sewing machine with all
the effect of hand work. A velveteen
binding of the same tint matching the
sicilienne finishes the hem.

Summcr-Made Manure.

1t used to be the custom to allow
the manure pile to increase in size
for half year before using it on the
fields. 1t was supposed that what IL
lost in volume it made up in quality
and that the little well-rotted manure
was worth more than the greater vol
ume would have been if applied
fresh. Not only was the winter
manure kept till spring, but the ma
nure that was made nightly in the
barnyard was carefully piled each
morning and new pile allowed TO
grow till fall, and sometimes this
pile was incorporated with the new
pile that began to be made when the
cows were taken out Of the pastures
and stabbed for winter. But we have
learned better now. We know that
sun and air are constantly warning
against the accumulated fertility and
that the sooner it is brought under
cover of the soil the better. The loss
is especially large with the manure
that accumulates in the barnyard in
the summer, for the reason that the
temperature is so high that all chemi-
cal changes are hastened and the
moisture escaping helps to carry of
the fertility, especially such as can
change into gases. So the summer
made manure should be carted to the
fields as soon as possible, at least
once week, unless there is covered
place that will protect it from both
rain and very much air. In the barn
yard If manure is to be kept in sum-
mer for any length of time it would
pay to have receptacle built up with
planks on each side and which may
be increased in height as the manure
Increases. In this way the air can get
at it only on the top, and the fertility
in the lower portion will be preserved.
Certainly this is a better arrange
ment than having an open pile with
all sides exposed to the currents OF
air. The fertility locked up in this
manure is worth money, and it should
be husbanded as carefully as money
would be.

The smartest of shirtwaist Hats.

A broad satin straw braid in a
champagne tint has tiny geld braids
interviewer to form a plaid pattern in
this exceedingly smart hat destined
for shirtwaist and other informal
wear. The crown is low and broad
and the brim is bent into fascinating
curves, eminently becoming, above
the face. The large rosette of black
velvet ribbon at the side is centered
with a huge gold cabochon, decorated
with cut steel work, and this catches
the single white quill. A long strand
of the velvet ribbon is threaded
through the brim, to fall in loops and
ends on the hair in the back

What can make a building look
more unsightly than a lot of faded,
torn and ragged awnings, Tapping in
the wind and adjusted at every angle
from vertical to horizontal? Those
half or wholly raised form pockets
for the lodgment of snow or rain,
with which to deluge some unsuspect-
ing passerby the next time the shade
is lowered, and even when folded as
closely as possible against the win
dow frame they present a rumpled
and unpleasing appearance. OF course,
while the awnings are new, they add
much to the appearance of the build
ing during the few hours they are in
actual use, but they cannot be main
tanned in that position, as the occu-
pants of the rooms cannot do without

recess or pocket formed for the pur-
pose. 1t will be noticed that the face
board of the pocket is secured to the
outer end of the awning and to the
swinging rods which maintain the

frame. When the awning is in use
as a protection from the suns rays,

The Power of Science.

In the Popular Science Monthly
President Jordan of Stanford univer-
sity says: In mechanics we know
that the force of a moving body is. not
measured by the substance. It's mo-
mentum or effective power is found
in its weight multiplied by it's speed.
This illustration has been used in
praise of American science. The
power of science lies not in individual
erudition. It lies in its striking power.
American science is dynamic; it is al
ways under way. In every branch of
science the best American workers
have been those most strenuous in
their personal efforts, most eager to
make their own work useful to the
branch of utillLarian science America
already stands in the lead. This fact
England has already recognized with
dignified dismay. We hear much Of it.
