Amy-why does the north star never set
 A. Because it is almost in direct line with the angle of the earth. The apparent motion of the sun and stars is due to the rotation of the earth. The north star is so far away, and so far to the north, that it is always visible from the northern hemis- phere.

Over Blouse or Jumper.

Fresh variations of the over waist
are constantly appearing, and the
fashion is altogether such a graceful
and charming one that its favor
seems likely to be Indefinitely pro-
lcnged. Here is one of the very sim
plest yet most effective that includes
the mandarin or kimono sleeves, and
that can be made either with a "
shaped or a square opening. AS illus
trated it is made Of pongee with silk
braid and heavy applique, and is
worn over lace guimpe, but one of
the many advantages of the waist Of
this sort is that it allows the use Of
any guimpe that may be found In the
wardrobe or of any preferred style,
while the waist itself is adapted to
almost every seasonable material.
For immediate wear the pongees,
light weight silk, veilings and the
like are exceeding popular, while a
little later washable fabrics so made
will be equally smart.
The blouse is made in one piece,
there being under-arm seams only,
and is drawn on over the head, the
fulness being regulated at the waist
line by means of tapes. The V-shaped
opening is apt to be very generally
becoming, but the square one also
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1907-05-02

admirable while there are a host OF
silks that can be utilized, or trim
ming only can be made to give the
effect.
The Eton is made with founda-
ton portion which consists Of fronts
and back, the over portion, which
also consists of fronts and backs, and
the sleeves. The foundation is faced
from the front edges to form the vest
and at the under-arms with the ma
terial and the over portion is quite
separate and arranged over it, the
collar being joined to the neck edges
Of both. The sleeves also are ar
ranged over Innings and are finished
with roll-over cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
seven-eighth yards twenty-one, three
and three-eighth yards twenty-seven
or one and seven-eighth yards forty
four inches wide with five-eighth
yard any width for the vest and five
Yards of wide. ten yards of soutache
braid for trimming, two and one
eighth yards twenty-one or one and
one-half yards thirty-six inches wide

The Farmers Wife

Is yery careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach Is,
a churn. In the stomach and digestvel
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the;
churning of butter. Is it notsapparentl
then that if this stomach-churn Is foul III
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alonett
the bad taste in the mouth and the FOUL
breath caused by it, but the corruption OIL
the pure current of blood and the dissem-I
ination of disease throughout the body.f

eighteen eggs as nicely as most hens
can cover thirteen. AS a pullet she
laid first rate, and every year there
after she laid enough eggs to pay we'll
for her food.
"Another thing in the boys letter
I want to call attention to, and that
is his trade Of young cockerels for
old hens. One year [ fattened twen-
ty-six two and three-year-old hens
and sold them to an eastern buyer
for fourteen cents a pound They
averaged exactly ten and a half
pounds each. | told a Connecticut
man about them, and he said if he'd
had them in his city he could have
easily gotten twenty cents a pound
for them. Ignorant people take great
delight in poking fun at the odd set
ting hen and the leather-meated,
grisly old grandmother hen,' when
they get hold of a piece of half fed
and half cooked chicken at the hotel
or boarding house. But I'll bet
broncho that I can fatten a two or
three-year-old hen in twelve to fifteen
days SO she looks almost like a we'll
fed young duck, and is, if she is
properly cooked, as tender as pullet.
"The same with cock bird.
Most people sell their old cock birds
for almost a song because they think
they are not fit to eat. A profession
al poultryman astonished me one day
by saying, they are tough and the
meat is strong' I had one for dinner
one day when some friends were with
me, all poultry raisers, and when we
came to dessert I asked them what
sort of fowl they supposed they had
dined on. They said capon, young
cockerel, pullet, finally settling of a
cockerel roaster When l told them
it was cock bird two years and
eight months old they would not be-
lieve it until I proved it by showing
them the head and shanks. No more
old cock birds will go to market out
Of their yards. I simply shut them
in roomy pen and feed fifteen to
twenty days, same as fattening hens"

Nassau County Tomatoes.

That Nassau county can grow vege-
tables and especially tomatoes was
evinced by an exhibition at this Of
fee left here last week by Mr.. J. R.
Hardee, of Crandal1. The exhibition
was in the nature of bunch of toma-
toes, five in the cluster and the larg-
est measuring six and three-fourths
inches in circumference and the
smallest one over five. 1t was the
greatest cluster of tomatoes ever
seen here Or in any other part of
the state. Mr.. Hardee only had a
garden patch of tomatoes, but the
yield was great.-Fernandina Record.
VIM. Ewin, who raises all manner
of the best kind of pineapples, has
left at this office a freak pineapple
The pine started all right, but after
a few days growth was undecided
whether to develop into a table deli
cacy or a sunbonnet, Or scoop SHOW
ell or a sunfower. The freak weighs
nearly nine pounds 1t looks very
much like lady's poke bonnet in
shape and very much like sunhow
er in style. Every lady who has seen
it has been tempted to rest it on her
head and see the effects of the new
millinery conceit The edge of the
pine is embellished with countless
hundreds of small shoots, which
gives a pretty effect to the countless
small cones of the pine itself.-St
Petersburg Independent.
