At this juncture it was suggested
that an appropriate badge be selected
and after much discussion the one dis
played at the head OF this article vas
adopted. The reader can easily see
how this simple yet unique design will
lend itself either to a button or a rib
bon badge. They are to be distributed
cautiously. 1t was, moreover, voted
to use a picture of a cat generally on
all advertising matter and a photo
graph of the Press office cat was OBJ
tanned for the purpose, a cut OF which
appears at the end Of this w.!te.up.
Note the naughty air, lust suCh a one
as would be expected OF a cat whose
master built so much and paid three
hundred $500. 00) dollars taxes. The
cat is known as Flummie Allen.
When the matter Of specia! attrac-
tons came up a prominent citizen OF
Volga arose and offered to furnish
some feathers. This brought Patrick
Josephus Murphy to his feet with the
remark that he would knock the tar
out Of anyone making any more sug-
g~estions of a like nature. Many others
began to rail at the auditor and ne sat
down.
l.. V. Mccoy suggested that a special
be run from Rochester, whereupon he
was attacked for working in the inter-
est Of his railroad. Mr.. Mccoy denied
the allegation, saying that az Mister
Allen obtained most Of the stuff on
which he paid such a COB OF taxes
$4,000 at Rochester, that it was no
more than right that the people of that
town be invited.
AS the hour was getting late and as
everyone present seemed chuck full Of
ideas it was finally decided to place
the entire matter in the hands OF a
committee of five. Their findings will
be duly recorded in this great family

FASHION NOTES.

BY the way, those crepe re chine
scarfs which are so much seen just
now are made in every conceivable
tint of brown and give a character
istic note to the simplest black dress.
Striped stuffs more than hold their
own, especially in the tailor-made
gown They are particularly smart
in the long straight coats so much
worn by Parisiennes, also in the Di-
rectoire coats, with long, narrow
revers opened on a front of plait-
ed frills. The stripes are always
made up vertically.
Suede gloves in an ivory shade,
dark champagne and pretty tones of
gray seem to have caught the popu-
lar fancy
A curious feature of some of the
latest hats is that they show on di-
yiding line between the crown and
brim. Some women wear these hats
set right back from the face, so they
entirely cover the nape of the neck.
Colored boots matching the color of
the belt are much worn with sum-
mer gowns Modore shades are in
great favor, also royal blue.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf-
fered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that l could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that / would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After I suffered
thus about ten years I made a renewed
effort to effect a cure. The eruptionC
by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor i1f my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and l was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes | was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least $50 or $50 in vain
ly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

Little Touches of Hand Work Give
Distinction to the Garments-ln,
White Handkerchief Linen
Hand Embroidered.

The four bodices shown IN the ac-
companying cut are all excellent mod
els for the new linens or other sum-
mer materials of the unf1gured vari-
ETY.. each of these designs showing a
touch of hand work which gives it de-
cided distinction. 1t must be admit
ted that even the simplest cotton
frock ornamented with some effective
hand embroidery or braiding has more
style and refinement than has usually
more elaborate material, tusslly
trimmed with machine-made laces,
medallions, etc, and so charming are
the new hand-embroidered summer
materials that it is well worth the
extra time required to do the work.
Of course, if one has the time and
inclination to decorate ones own
gowns this use of hand embroidery
is really great saving, as with such
ornamentation very little other trim
ming in the form of lace and SO forth
is necessary.
AS to a description of the waists pic
tured the first sketch was taken from
a frock of soft blue pongee, the
stitched bands used as trimming on
the bodice being embroidered with
lozenges or large dots in a darker
shade of blue silk The little vest was
embroidered in two shades, the whole
blouse being sort of jumper worn
over a guimpe of openwork batiste.
The second blouse was in white
handkerchief linen, hand-embroidered
in dots and scallops in pale blue wash
cotton.
The third design shows little cape
bolero cut in one with the sleeve. Pink
linen was used for the model the lit
tie coat and revers being trimmed
with white soutache braid and white
linen buttons Eyelet embroidery was

SCIENTIFIC
PLANT BREEDING
BY Prof. A. G. True, Department of
Agriculture.

Certain supposed limitations in
plant breeding are so often mentioned
that they have become automatic.
Among these are the incompatibility
of earliness and prolificacy, of large
size and number of parts, and the
correlation of other qualities.
There is opportunity for further OBJ
servation on these points, and if this
limitation is found to prevail, the
physiological phenomena which deter
mine this antagonism remains to be
worked out. Moreover, the recent
work of Bateson has cast doubt on
the limitations of selection as a means
of fixing a type, which is worthy Of
further investigation.
The study of mutations, as de-
scribed by De Vries, seems a fruitful
field for investigation. The old taXo-
nOmic idea of the fiXity of species
appears to be doomed to give way to
different concept MacDougal has
recently shown that plants can be so
profoundly affected by chemicals as to
lose their character sufficiently to re-
suit in the production Of new forms.
If this should be true, it may result
in new method of plant-breeding,
and at all events it calls attention to
the possible influence of certain en-
vironmental conditions. Fertilizers
and soil conditions are known to have
an effect on the composition of the
plant as we'll as on the quality
The necessity of taking these mat
ters into account when plants are be-
ing bred for increased protein, and Of
fully checking or controlling all cOndi-
tons other than individuality which
may cause changes will be apparent.
In the case of leguminous plants bred
for increased protein content the pos
sible effect Of nitrogen assimilation as
disturbing factor should be borne
in mind.
1t has been shown that nitrogen as
sfmilation may have the effect of in
creasing the nitrogen content of the
plant or it's seed, and it has also been
found that plants apparently vary con-
siderably in the energy with which
they assimilate atmospheric nitrogen.
The conditions surrounding this ac-
tivity and the factors which influence
it are little understood, but these diff
ferences in conditions or capacity of
the plant may nullify the results of
breeding work which does not take ac-
count of them. The obvious remedy
would seem to be the treatment of the
soil in which these experiments are
made in such way as to eliminate nj
trogen assimilation and it's attendant
influences.
There is every reason why the
breeding work as whole should be
placed upon a more scientific basis.
1t has become a prominent feature of
the work of the stations, and the prac-
teal results attained have aroused in
terest and confidence in it.
Already attention is being given by
the more progressive farmers to Sc
lection, the use of improved seed, and
the work of the stations and others
are therefore finding practical appli-
cation in their hands. The greatest
need of this work is improved meth
DDS and a better understanding of the
principles involved, in order that OBJ
servation may be guided, and the in
depreciation of results made more
sure.

LONG COATS IN FAVOR.
Drectoire and Redngote Styles Are
Seen Everywhere.

Perhaps suggested by the cold
redingote styles are motel in many of
the smartest models, and it is fore
gone conclusion that they will be one
of the chief features of the fall and
winter modes.
In the heavy grass linens, these de-
signs are wonderfully distingue. Ere
quently they show clever combina-
tons of materials and have many odd
notes introduced. For example, old
blue linen of coarse, uneven weave
has a long plain skirt, which just
touches the ground all around-an-
linen is not dressy fabric-and over
this ee-quarter-length coat cut
on directoire lines. The fronts do
not meet, but are faced back their en-
tire length with rajah of the same
shade and a narrow vest of Delft
embroidery inserted. The vest is but
toned down the front with tiny fancy
buttons; opens with little V at the
neck. and ends at the top OF the
rather wide girdle which is worn with
the skirt At either side of the vest
there are three large buttons similar
in design to those on the vest. The
sides of the coat skirt and the upper
sides of the sleeves are slashed, the
former to the hips, and the latter
nearly to the top, and embroidery like
that of the vest inserted. The two
edges are then strapped across with
loops of narrow blue soutache, with
tiny buttons fixing them. The French
back is extremely graceful, with a
very slight suggestion of the empire
in it's cut, the suggestion accentuated
by three of the larger buttons at
either side
