The Great God Chance

Betting on horse races has. as a rule,
a demoralizing effect and has ru ned
many men and women. In n in
stance, however, 1t was brought to-
gether 1.-TWO souls with but a single
thought: two hearts hat beat as one
and the announcement Of the happy
event is being eagerly anticipated.
A young couple is employed in one of
the newspaper officers in a Fran
cisco and Cup'd's arrow has pierced
the heat of each. Neither is blessed
with much of this worlds wealth and
at the beginning of the racing season
they decided to make a bet of two-bits
each on a combination. If they won
they would each retain the two-bits
and go on betting with the winnings
till the end of the season. Then II
the result was at all favorable they
would look upon it as a happy omen
Of their future.
Both were keenly anxious on the
closing day Of the racing season. All
their hopes centered on the horse ]. V.

A Peanut Famine

With a peanut famine. A writer in

South has furnished the peanut supply,

If cotton has caused Southern planters

fact that the price always remains the

Another Plague

Egypt is threatened with a plague of
~locusts. and the Government has called
out the army of forced laborers to
combat the pest. Owing to the young
locusts' habit of never turning back
or aside when once started In a GER
tain direction. it is poss BILE, by dig
ging trenches. some times miles in
length, to entrap the invading hosts
and destroy them. That OF course.
must be done before the locusts take
to the wing. AT that stage nothing
can stop their ravages and they sweep
eve ything before them.

Queer Methods of Dairying.

A report from Consul Lespinasse,
TuXpam, Mexico, describes the quaint
methods of dairying in practice in that
region. Cream is roughly skinned
and either beaten with forked switch
or swashed about in bottle until the
butter forms. This sells for dollar
a pound (silver) and SIS neither good
to look at nor to taste" Cheese is
made by COMPRISING whey in coarse
cloth, sailing and allowing 10 dry sew
eral days, forming an insipid spongy
mass. an inch thick and five inches in
diameter, worth from IL to IS cents.
Mr.. Lespinasse suggests there is room
for Improvement. No exceptions to
this statement have yet been taken.

In Which the True Source of Physical

Speaking of toads, with incidental ref
erence to other salatory animal life, re-
!a!is mot attributed, to one of the JUS
tices of the supreme court, which has
been giving the Washington gossips good
deal of amusement of late, says the New
York Evening post. He was dining the
other evening with the family of dis
tinguished ex-senator, who are noted for
Their extravagant advocacy of the vege-
tartan diet. Over the delicacies of the
table, which included pretty nearly every
form of edible plant life suited to the
season, conversation turned upon the ia
miliar theme; and the hostess, after try
ing in vain to convert her beef-reared
guest by arguments based ON the chemical
constituents of various food, pleaded:
But surely, Mr.. Justice, you must ad.
init that Vegetarianism means strength
and agility, when you remember that the
rabbit, which feeds wholly on vegetables,
can make such great leaps through the air
from hiding place to hiding place"
True, madam" answered the jurist
gravely, but we must also remember that
the minute creature for which naturalists
claim the ability to jump more times Its
own length than any other, belongs to
the class of pure carnvora."

DO NOT NEGLECT THING.
It's the Only Way in Which Thou
sands of Acres of Land Can Be
Improved Permanently.

The wonderful effect resulting from
a system of tile drainage, as seen on
many farms, should be an incentive to
increasing interest in this work. That
there should be little improvement of
this kind in a new and unimproved
country, where land is comparatively
cheap, is not surprising. 1t is not,
however, SO easy to understand why
people are so slow to make such i'm
provements in the older sections of
the country where land is high.
That there is a very large amount
of land in these older settled portions
of the country that would be greatly
improved by good system of tiling
there can be no question. A farmer
living in western New York, writing
to the Rural New Yorker, says:
Even here in western New York, re-
ferred to by many as the garden of
the state, thousands of acres that are
not in proper condition are each year
plowed and planted to crops, nor can
they be expected to afford favorable
results unless nature in some un-
usual manner renders assistance. The
well-known excuse or objection to this
system of work made by far too many
is the expense to be incurred not only
for the tile itself, but for the labor re-
quired additional to that of the reg
ular farm labor"
But large part of such drainage
work does not require highly skilled
and expensive labor for its perform
ance. The farmer and his regular help
can do it when they cannot work in
the fields.
In place where the fall is so slight
and the work so difficult as to require
such help the improvement that will
result will many times pay for its
cost. On great many farms there are
many days throughout the season when
little profitable work is done and when
the time could be spent at such work
as tiling to very great advantage

chiffon. The elbow sleeves are finished
with ruchings and plaitings. This is to
be worn with an enormous picture hat
of leghorn, the only trimming on which
will be band of black velvet and two
huge cabbage roses with their own
foliage.
A touch OF black will also be intro
duced in the parasol, which is of gauged
black chiffon lined with palest pink.
Such a frock as this would be charming
at London's big garden party.
A lovely example Of the painted mus

and foliage painted thereon. The frock
appears to be cut all in one, and is
gauged from several inches above the
waist to about three inches below it.
The hip pieces are cut open and inserted
with tiny tucks or box plaits, which give
the necessary amount of fulness to the
long skirt, which is finished with two
enormously thick ruches Of taffeta
changeante taking in various shades OF
pink and green. Some smaller ruches
of the same fabric are arranged over the
yoke and shoulder to give pelerine eff

with soft gaugings and frills, worn with
long mousquetaire gloves. This is sur

"The queerest fee l ever had offered

Experiments by Prof. II. L. HUT, of
the Ontario Agricultural college, with
several kinds of tarred and felt papers
showed that none was injurious to the
trees and all equally effective in pre-
venting injury from mice during winter.
The paper was cut in strips about one
foot long, enough to go around the trees
and TO stand about one foot high. A
piece of string was used to hold the pa
per in place and earth was banked
around the trees and TO stand about one
foot high. A piece of string was used to
hold the paper in place and earth was
banked around the bottom of the paper

How to Plant Pole Beans.

In planting pole-beans, first set the
pole firmly in the ground. Let them be
four feet apart each way, 1t pays to fix
few hills thoroughly. Scrape the soil
away; fill with well-rotted manure, and
replace the soil This makes slight ele-
vation, Plant six or eight beans around
the pole; thin these down to three Of
the best plants. The vines may need to
be helped TO get start up the pole. Tie
them to the pole With cloth or soft
twine Where poles are scarce, wires
may be stretched and the beans planted
two feet apart under them,-Midland

gaugings of chiffon, and plisse frills of
the same. This toilette is completed by

surprising that opera cloaks and even
ing dresses are especially charming this
season. Many kinds of trimming are
made of shaded panne and velvet leaves
appliques on to lace.
Sumptuous dressing is the order Of
the day, for we have veritably returned
to the styles in vogue in the days OF the
French empire. We see how little the
heart of woman has changed when 1t
comes to question of beautiful
clothes as displayed in the leading ate
liers of the Rue de la PaiX, 1t seems
TO me that neither English, French nor
American women are in the least con-
sidering the cost of their best frocks, by
which / mean the toilette de reception
and the evening gown. They do, how
ever, affect a delightfully."- chic simplic-
ity in the wearing of linens and white
serge for the mornings, but their even
ing toilettes are really splendid crea-
tions.
will tell you now of simple evening
gown worn by well-known debutante.
1t is composed of white silk muslin,
sauged in at the waist, and finished
down the front by quaint little ruches
Of white taffeta, thicker ruching also
appears at the feet, headed by narrow
border of pearl trimming. The bebe
bodice is trimmed with ruchings of silk,
and the decolletage is outlined with the
pearl trimming which rests on the neck,
The sleeves are nothing more than early
Victorian puffs, and round the waist is a
very wide sash of Romaney blue satin.
There is, without doubt. a growing
fancy for green in beautiful soft shades.
Consequently emeralds are gaining in
favor, and we also see other curious
green stones. Jewels are mostly in
Louis XIV. settings, varied by wonder
ful oriental stones and very fine speci-
mems of Italian enamel. We Parisians
are great admirers of Italian art; and
many Of the newest models of tea gowns
are sufficient witness to this.
Enamel work is much used in parasol
handles, some of which are very quaint
and pretty. We are fastidious in trifles
of this kind, and do not care for over
elaborateness. A handle of three we'll
blended enamels is an adequate finish to
a plain colored parasol or en-tout-cas.
