Crops on Tiled Lands.

My attempt several years ago
to get catch of clover was a failure,
as the clover froZe out. But l sowed
clover this spring with rye and 1t
caught. The rye was sown last fall
and made good growth over winter.
The clover seed was sown this spring
on the last snow, and the clover plants
now MAY 81 have two leaves on them
and the rye is foot high.
! tried to grow alfalfa and got a
good start with 1t about seven years
ago, but 1t killed out the winter the
ground was bare OF snow and the frost
went I'm deep. That was the year my
clover froze out. But since that time
the alfalfa has been coming up be-
tween my fruit trees and looks thrifty.

Here is q thing | would like to have
some one explain, for cannot. There
is one field where | had oats last year
and through the field runs tile drain,
comparatively new. The oats were
very rank directly over the drain,
growing waist high. In the rest of
the field the oats were very short.
Now it is a fact that carefully noted
that the rank oats were badly rusted,
so much SO that the binder when cut
ting them was covered with the smut,
while In the rest Of the field no smut
could be detected. Why were the
rank oats smutty and short oats free
from smut? The whole field COM

and no rust was to be found except
over the tile.-C. |. Casey, Lake

HER WEAKNESS GONE

How She Got Rid Of Serious Troubles
by simple Home Treatment.

"I had been bothered for several
years." said Mrs. Murphy, "by stomach
disorder, and finally became very weak
and nervous. Flashes of heat would
pass over me, and l would feel rs if l
was sinking down. At such times /
could not do any household work, but
would have to lie down, and afterwards
Iwould have very trying nervous spells"
Didn't you have doctor?" she was
asked.
Eyes, consulted several doctors but
my health did not improve. One day
friend asked me why did not try Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. She assured me
TINT they had proved Of the greatest ben.
eft in the case Of her daughter. In fact,
she praised them SO enthusiastically that
my husband got me box"
"And what was tho result?"
"Before had taken half of the first
box my condition was greatly improved.
The quickness with which they reached
and relieved all my troubles was really
surprising. After had used only three
boxes l had no moro hcat-flashes or
weak spells. Thanks to them, have
become a well woman"

TIE Game of snip.

Quickness of thought is necessary
for good luck with this game. There
are almost no rules for playing. A
leader is agreed upon, and this one
points a finger at any player he
chooses, doing it suddenly and unex-
pectedly. That child must at once
speak four words, rapidly and in
proper succession, words whose in
itial letters will spell the word snip.
Such a string of words as soap, nose,
ice, peas, would answer the require
ment. When a player cannot do this
or cannot do it swiftly enough,
"Snipi" is called out to him and he
has to become leader.

One day a squaw wanted to save

Not having anything to keep it in, she
seized one of the clay dishes which

hot Goals baked the dish, and she later
discovered that it would not break.

Short Skirts the RuIe.

Very short skirts are the absolute
rule and it matters little what the ma.
teria1 may be. The short skirt is here
to stay for some time at least and
those who contemplate making up a
gown would do well to take heed and
study it's ways The short skirt has
many things in it's favor. It is very
light in weight, for it is abbreviated
to such an extent that founces and
ruff1es are almost impossible. 1t is be-.
coming to the feet. 1t is comfortable
and it takes little material. More than
all these, it is fashionable and the
fashion has spread until it now
reaches Paris and is popular in Wen
na where there was the greatest pro-
test against it. The Paris modistes
are chopping off the gowns right at
the ankles The new short skirts are
much shorter than the former ones
They are now made instep high and
some of them are even less They
most decidedly show the feet, and this
calls for the prettiest OF shoes.

A Pretty Froek.


An original frock seen on a young
girl at the luncheon hour might easily
be reproduced by any clever dress
maker. 1t was white null of heavy
and firm quality laid in side plaits
around the hips, these being released
just below the hip line. 1t was of
round length and was finished at the
fiounce of all-over English embroidery
done in scallops at the lower edge as
well as the top and having run
through the top two lines of half-inch
black velvet ribbon two inches apart,
these gathered the ruffle and were tied
at the left side in careless bows.
The deep girdle, which merely
rounded down little at the front, was
of finest white kid and closed with a
silver buckle.
The short Eton coat was entirely OF
the openwork embroidery, unlined and
worn over a blouse of null to match
the skirt. The jacket, which other
wise would have hung straight, was
also gathered or drawn in below the
bust by half-inch black velvet ribbon
run through the openwork embroidery,
and a butterfly bow of wider black
velvet ribbon finished the front, where
the narrow ribbon ends met. The
sleeves-large, single puffs of the
embroidery-had similar velvet lac
ings at the elbow that gathered the
scalloped edges at the bottom into

gether, to hold in the bundles which
are oozing out. The bag itself is one
of those fiat cloth ones which nine
out of ten women love. With her
other hand she clutches the skirt at
the side, toward the front, and holds
it high in the air, showing, usually
cloth boot with elastic sides and
stout ankle. Her gown trails out in
every direction and she moves like
frigate under full sail, as the wind
slowly creeps under and initiates the
skirt, while she, sublimely uncon-
scious, lifts the skirt higher in just
tnaC one place, and sails on to her
moorings.
Don't you remember the girl who
holds her skirt tightly about her, as
If lashed to the mast, bundling it
all up about her any which way, and
half the time her boots or shoes are
not what they should be, and her pet
ticoat is frayed or soiled.
How many people can stand having

and following right along the line, and
you have noticed the rapidity with
which the women haul down their
skirts and the men shift and wiggle
and try to sit on their feet. Per-
haps one in that whole car will ct

whole world would go and do like

No woman is so beautiful and no
man SO good-looking that they can
afford to- be slip shod about anything.
When shoes get down at the heel
they should be repaired or disposed
of. l don't care whether tney are
otherwise perfectly good. Get good,
expensive shoes, made to fit, and of
the best material. Never leave them
off without at once putting them on
trees, for that makes shoes keep their
shape. Now, the average person
doesn't tree shoes except now and
then, OF when they are being cleaned,
and, having one pair only, this is no
good.
Invest in skeleton trees at least,
which are 81 a pair, and keep every
slipper and shoe on them, whether
travelling, visiting or at home. AL
ways keep the shoes clean; if colored
kid use cleansing fluid; if brown or
white get proper materials and learn
how to do it yourself, for in many
houses it is not done for you, and you
should go prepared.
I've known many girl to wear
the same shoes for weeks without
freeing or cleansing, and yet she had
good clothes and thought she looked
well. Being neat and fresh is as i'm
portant as taking the trouble to re-
member the names of every human
being you meet, and always have a
smile and cordial bow to greet them
with. 1t not only brings you happi-
ness in endless ways, and helps you
an untold amount in politics, busin ess
or social life, but it brightens many a
sad heart and lightens the burden on
many tired shoulders.-Exchange.

Wool Waists.

The wool waist gains in favor over
heavy linens and chevoits for cool
weather. White is more desirable,
but light colors are seen and plaids
will be worn a great deal for informal
occasions. The lingerie waists will be
worn all winter, and soft silks have by
no means lost popularity. Among the
wool waists batiste. flannel, mohair,
albatross and yelling are favorites.
All of these except flannel wash per-
fectly, and flannel is not impossible,
if the laundress be an expert Ordi-
narily it is better to have flannel dry
cleaned New wool waists trimmed
with eyelet embroidery are interest
ing novelties. They are to be had in
half dozen fabrics, the softer ma
terials such as albatross being very

Revival of the Caster.

The table caster is being revived,
but it is as a wee accessory for each
individual cover, and not the large
stand for the center of the table
These little casters contain bottles for
pepper and salt and a vinegar cruet.
Other small ones have a tiny bottle
at either side of the stand with hol-
low dish for salt suspended between
them. They are very cunning and
give an altogether modern air to a
table.

HillockS.

Make nine small hillocks or cones
on the sand. These hillocks must be
at least two yards apart and the tops
should be flattened sufficiently to hold
a golf ball. Each hillock has a num-
bered paper stuck in the side.
The game is played with small
hoops and the object is to throw them
in such a way as to knock ball from
its pedestal. This is not an easy
thing to do unless the hoop is thrown
with a peculiar twist of the wrist
Each player has three chances in
turn unless his hoop falls over the
hillock at its base without moving
the ball from position, in which case
his turn is at an end The player who
knocks off the greatest number of
balls win.
