Commencement Gowns.

Interest secondary only to the we'd
ding gown is displayed in the choice
of a commencement gown, and at this
time suggestions in regard to styles and
materials may not be amiss. The fol
lowing notes are taken from the Deli
neatOr for May.
The sheer fabrics, such as null, dot
ted Swis, organdy, batiste, fine lawn
and India linon, Paris muslin and
point d'esprit make dainty frocks and
not necessarily expensive ones. While
simplicity chaTacterizes the new modes,
it is in the lines only, as laces, ribbons,
flounces and quantities Of handwork
appear upon all these dresses. FlOunc-
ed and ruflled skirts as well as the
straight full models are extremely be-
coming to youthful figures, and waists
must have deep berthas or trimmings
applied to produce the fashionable long
shOuldered effect, and there must be a
slightly dropping blouse both back and
front. The skirt is made with grace
full sweep, except for the young miss,
when it is in the length that is most
becoming. White slippers and stock
Ings are usually worn with the COM
mencement gown, though black suede
or patent leather slippers and black
silk or isle hose are admissible.

:AT men WATER MARK.

One of The American sailor boys do
iue service ON the battle ship Missouri,
has given 10 the world an exhibition OF
true courage scarcely eXcelled in the
worlds history.
When am explosion occurred which
threatened the magazine Of the ship, he
deliberately leaped into the powder
house and closed the door behind him
thus saving the vessel from sure de-
struction and his 500 comrades from
sudden death. There was dauntless
leader going before TO inspire with his
example. no flag of country TO 0eckon
him ON, no martial music TO stir his
young blood, and no stern command
To 20 forward. No. nor one nor all of
them to urge the action, but the nobil-
ity of soul, the dauntess spirit, the
high sense of duty impelled him, and
the heroic deed was done, the more
than patriotic service was rendered.
The country has no Victoria cross to
give him. but surely 1t has some honor
with which 10 crown this uncrowned
hero.

There are a great many things that

which the young people haven't time
to do. Let US all determine to wear

AWAITS OFFICIAL COUNT
Status of Maryland Cannot Be Deter
mined Until Passed Upon BY
Board of Canvassers.

A Baltimore special OF Friday says:
That an official count Of the ballots
cast for the presidential electors in
Maryland will be required before def
mite knowledge OF the result can be
assured, has been demonstrated BY the
semi-oficial count in Baltimore city
and in twenty OF the .-twenty-three
counties of the state. The returns re-
ceiyed thus far inlicale that seven DEM
ocratic and one republican elector
were chosen. The congressional situa-
ton remains unchanged-three demo
cratic and three republican congress
men having been elected.
The state board OF canvassers,. con-
sisting Of the state comptroller, the
secretary Of state, the clerk Of the
court OF appeals and the attorney gen
eral, will make the official announce
ment Of the vote. This board must
meet and complete its laDors within
thirty days after the day Of election.
1t is explained by the election super
visors ard the political leaders that
the mistaking of ballots caused the dis"
crepancy between the vote for the ma
tional and congressional candidates. IN
this connection charges Of fraud are
made by the leaders of either party
and it. will be necessary to await the
official count to decide upon the ulti-
mate result.

Field Culture Of Cabbage.

CabbaSes. which Are often consd-
cred superior in feeding value to tur-
nips. are cheaper to grow than root
crop, and constitute excellent food for
sheep and dairy cows. Deep, adhesive
loans are best, but the crop is suitable
for the stiffest soils, provided they are
deeply worked.
Liberal manuring is essential. from
twenty-five to thirty tons of barnyard'
manure per acre being Il good dress
ing. This should be supplemented
with from 200 to 500 pounds superphos-
pilates. Top dressings Of from 100 to
700 pounds of nitrate Of soda are profit
able when the young plants have
well started, and again when the
beads have begun to form. The light
or the soil the greater the quantity of
manure required. Seed may be drilled
in rows or started in seedbed. The
former method is both cheaper and bet
ter in the end. Drill four to six pounds
per acre. From one to two pounds
sown on a rod of good seedbed will
produce enough plants for an acre.
The rows should be about .twenty-four
inches apart. and the plants like dis
lance asunder in them. The enemies
of the cabbage crop are in some degree
identical with those of turnips. The
cabbage worms cause great loss by
eating the leaves. Hand picking is
the surest remedy, though it is cheap
er to spray or dust the attacked plants
with one Of the standard Insecticides
used for soft bodied caterpil!ars.-B.

Horses Must Have Oats.

Oats seem to be the natural grain for
horses, and every attempt to substi-
tute any other grain, in considerable
quantities, always brings trouble for
the horse. There is too much corn
fed on the average farm, and while 1t
is admitted that when one Crews corn
In abundance it is most natural thing
to use it, there is no doubt but what
all farm animals have more corn than
they ought, and this is particularly
true Of horses.
The writer urges farmers not to
make this mistake, for they do it at the
expense Of the years Of the horse, even
if serious trouble does not result imme-
dlately. Sell corn enough to buy what
oats the horse should have. An occa-
sional feed Of cornmeal. bran and oil
meal will not injure the horse. but the
bulk of the grain given it should be
oats.

Fertilizer For Cabbage.

Experiments were recently made by
a foreign experiment station to deter
mine the effect on the yield Of cab
bages which had been fertilized. The
field selected for the experiments was
Of soil Of medium loan from fifteen to
eighteen inches deep. and which had
not been manured previously for forty
years. 1t was ascertaired that the
largest salable, heads were secured
from the plant fertilized with thirty
tons of manure. 225 pounds Of su!phate
Of ammonia, $50 pounds Of basic Stag
and 10 pounds OF muriate OF potash.
Fully as good results were obtained
when 300 pounds Of nitrate of soda
were used in place of the 225 pounds
Of sulphate Of ammonia. The increased
Yields obtained when these fertilizers
were use1 were ten tons greater than
when thirty tons per acre of manure
were used alone.
