Parisians first fancied it, for it's cool
ness and daintiness and Quaintness.
The frills are some four or FIVE
inches in depth, and worn over plain
blouse bodice. One in coarse lavender
linen has the bodice, fitting closely,
but pouching slightly in front under
double box-plait, down which a
scarf of embroidered white muslin
was interthreaded through large white
crockett rings, the plisse Pierrot frills
round neck and wrists being en-
broidered also. The skirt was plain,
but showed fan-shaped plaitings of
white muslin inserted at the seams
below the knees, to give spring to the
skirt. And the hat to be worn was
of white embroidered muslin, over a
picturesque wire shape, with large
cluster of blue and mauve shaded
forget-me-nots at the back.

Wheat as Poultry Food.

Wheat is a good food for chicks
and for fun grown fowls. Wheat
screenings are not always as cheap as
their price would seem to indicate
We have known screenings to sell at
a cent a pound, which would equal
so cents per bushel. At the same time
clean, plump wheat could be bought
for seventy cents. The screenings
contained a very large proportion OF
eed seeds, some Of them, like the
seeds of corn cookie, poisonous TO
animal life when taken in consider
able quantities. The screenings con-
sist largely of shriveled wheat kernels
and have not in them the same amount
OF food value as is to be found In
the plump wheat, just as the material
to be found in a shriveled up apple
shriveled before it was mature-is in
no way to be compared to that in an
apple that has matured. The farmer
that has screenings of his own-fron
his own wheat-wili find it advisable
to feed them to his poultry, but the
man that has to buy feed for the poul-
try had far better buy whole wheat,
paying for it the marAet price, than
to buy wheat screenings at a little
less price. AS food they are worth not
only less, but good deal less. AS a
single grain food for poultry, wheat
is somewhat more valuable than corn
though we would not recommend any
one grain as a complete ration.

object Lesson Intended for congre-
cation Had Effect Upon Minister.
John Spencer Bassett of Trinity
college, N. c., in a recent lecture
scored religious intolerance. He be-
gan in this way:
Il was born in Tarboro, and in Tar
borO in my bodhood 1 went to church
every Sunday. l shall never forget
an object lesson that clergyman i'm
pressed on me there. He arose one
Sunday evening in the fall with a
fresh. green walnut in his hand. He
held the walnut up so that we could
all see it and said:
Dearly beloved, with this walnut
l am going to give you an object les
son. See me now remove the nuts
rind. This rind is soft, dirty, useless
profiLlesS. 1t is like the - church
Now l come to the shell. 1t is q
hard, strong shell, a difficult thing tc
crack, but there is no taste to it;
there is no nOurishment in it; it is
valueless, thing to be thrown away
This shell, my friends, is like the -
church. And finally breaking the
shell we come to the kernel, which is
like our own church. =
AT this point the clergyman tool
out the kernel and found it rotten. He
redeemed, coughed and pronounced
the benediction. and l understand
that he was after that day liberal il
all his views"

uniaue Button Box.

An arrangement for holding but
tons is made by FASTING together six
pasteboard boxes, such as are used
by druggists in preparing prescrip-
lions for powders. They slide out like
little drawers, and a button is sewed
to the outside to indicate the con-
tents. A white pearl, bone, fancy or
shoe button is placed on the drawer
designed for holding those particular
buttons, while hook and eye, and a
safety pin sewed to another, will read
lily explain the contents. A yard and
a quarter of satin ribbon two inches
wide is tied about the whole, with a
bow at the top, forming neat little
case, which for many reasons is pre-
ferred TO the button bags.

The Supply of Litter.

Litter is a good thing in the poul-
tr:- house, summer or winter, and II
large quantity of it is at hand and 1t
can be renewed every week or SO 1t
will prove of great advantage in keep
ing the poultry house clean. The ma
nure can be easily talked out with
the litter, and g broom will complete
the work in few minutes. We have
seen many a poultry house without a
particle of litter, when the barn near
by had more char lying around than
the farmer knew how to dispose OF.
The best kind Of litter is chopped
straw. It acts as an absorbent under
the roosts and as a receptacle in the
other part Of the pen for the grains
that may be thrown in for the fowls.
This gives them chance to scratch,
Buekwheat hulls are good, and they
can be obtained at mills that make
buckwheat -four. The man that uses
| a shredder will find shredded corn
fodder very useful. in the poultry
house. One of the great advantages
Of litter is that in winter the feet Of
the fowls are kept OF the cold floor,
and if there are any cracks in the
floor they become stopped up with the
chaff. The litter should be changed
often and never be allowed to become
damp. The compost it forms will be
found very serviceable in the spring.

Herbert Spencer on Boy-Raisinq.

Herbert Spencer, the great English
philosopher. gave the following advice
concerning the raising of boy: do
but gain boys trust; convince him
by your behavior that you have his
happiness at heart; let him discover
that you are the wiser of the two; let
him experience the benefit of follow
ing your advice and the evils that
arise from disregarding it, and fear
not that you will readily enough guide
him." Mr.. Spencer was a bachelor,
and any father who has had trouble
with his boy will at once recognize
how thoroughly the philosopher un-
derstOod the business of rearing chill
dren. Unfortunately, however, Mr.
Spencer neglected to explain how a
father may let his son discover that
he-the father-is the wiser OF the
two,

onaIs In Hinh Favor.

In spite of the old-time superstition
there seems to be a grave doubt about
the ill-luck attaching to- Opals in the
minds of the girls of to-day, for opals
are very much worn. There is hardly
a more beautiful stone than the opal,
and jewellers say that If they continue
to win their way in popular favor they
will become more costly. Hitherto
they have been cheaper than their
beauty led one to expect they would
be, but that was because the super
stition about their ill-luck bringing
powers made people fear to own
them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively small. An opal
surrounded by smaller brilliants
makes a charming setting for ring
The diamonds reflect the rainbow
tints of the opal and the combination
of stones is one which shows the
beauties of both to best advantage.

How Judge Fortified Himself
Against an Attorneys Argument.
Committeeman Robinson Of North
Carolina used to be a judge in the
Tarheel state. Cope Elias, an attor-
ney of considerable reputation in
those parts, once appeared in a case
before him.
RObinson's mind was fully made up
concerning the judgment to be rem
dered, and he accordingly informed
Elias that no argument was neces-
sary. Notwithstanding this, Elias be-
gan to argue. Judge Robinson again
informed him that he need not con-
tinue, but again his word was not
needed.
Sheriff" said the judge. calling
that official to his desk, have you
any cotton hereabouts?"
The sheriff allowed that there were
several bales of cotton just outside
the dollhouse and, complying with
instructions, he brought the Judge a
handful of the fluffy staple. The judge
stuffed wad of it in each of his ears,
gathered up the legal papers on his
desk, and, beginning to read them
carefully, observed:
Now, Mr.. Elias, you may proceed. -

Dietetic Requirements.

1t has been laid down as a physio-
logical rule that the requirements of
adult diet depend not on the weight
Of the eater, but on the extent of his
bodily surface. An infant may weigh
one-eighteenth as much as a grown
man, but its surface is more than
one-seventh as great. AS the first re-
Quirement of the infants food is to
replace the heat that is continually
being lost by radiation from all parts
Of the body, the latter friction deter
mines the needed proportion of nour-
ishment rather than the former But
in the case of a growing child food
is also needed to supply the increase
of the bodily weight. In all an in
tant's ration may be five times as
much as would be estimated from its
actual weight alone.

Lanashans.

Langshans are the smallest and
most active of the Asiatic class. They
are a practical fowl in more senses
than one, and their prolific laying and
excellent qualities make them profit
able fowl for the farmer and market
poultryman. They are one of the old
est varieties of poultry and have al
ways been held in popular esteem.
The quality of the flesh of the Lang
shan is excellent, being fine grained,
tender, and nicely favored. AS layers
they rank among the best, averaging
from twelve to thirteen dozen a year,
and as winter layers they are to be
recommended. The chicks are hardy
and mature early. Langshans are
good sitters and mothers, being OF
gentle disposition: they are easily
kept in confinement or on free range.
Being excellent foragers, they are
ideal fowls for the farm, and will
gather during the year considerable
proportion of their food.

Electricity for Railroad.

The New York Central Railway
company is about to make large sub
stitution of electricity for steam, to
save its local traffic, which has been
heavily cut into by Independent troll
ley lines. A section of the Rome,
WATERFOWL & Ogdensburg railway is
to be equipped with electricity as
quickly as possible, and when this is
done the electric cars of the Central
system can be run to and from all
points along the southern shore OF
Lake Ontario. The Rochester and
suburban lines are also to be alb
sorbed. The New York, New Haven
& Hartford road is pursuing the same
policy, and already has some eighty
five miles of electric road in opera
ton.

Newly Purchased Fioos.

When animals are purchased 10 90
into the herd there is always a POS
sibility that they viii bring disease
with them, and this should be guard
ed against as much as possible. Some
swine raisers follow the practice OF
keeping the animals separated from
the rest OF the hogs from one to
three weeks, TO give time for any
disease the hogs may have to de-
velop. This is certainly to be COM
mended. One can never know that
the animal purchased is free from
disease, even though the buyer may
be cognizant of the fact that fhe
herd from which it came was entirely
free from all troubles OF this kind.
But many an animal, healthy at the
time Of being shipped, has contracted
disease in transit to the new purehas-
er. This is not infrequent1y due te
disease germs In the car IN which
the hogs are shipped. We assume
that there are few or no breeders
that would ship to new locality al
animal known to be sick or that ha1
been exposed to cholera or any other
contagious disease. A little caution
in this matter viii be effort wen
spent.

Ralsinn the Pins.

Damp bedding is bad for pigs. It
should be dry and made from we'll
cured straw or hay. The little pigs
should have lots Of sunshine If they
are to be expected to grow well and be
healthy. It requires some planning to
construct light brood house for a
dozen or more sows, especially IL they
are to farrow in winter, but II must
be done if we are to have success in
raising the pigs. Sunshine may be
regarded as one Of the essentials. A
cold draft on pigs is very destructive
and is one Of the great causes OF NOR
tally among winter pigs. In the win
ter exercise must be given. One man
says ne does this by turning out the
brood sow and chasing the little pigs
about IN the pen.
