Miss Mary johnson, the Canadian
woman who posed for fifteen years as
a man under the name of Frank

through Newark this morning OF her

"It was the meanness of women that
drove me to masquerade as a mar for
fifteen years said Miss Johnson to-
day. Women are merely walking ad-
v~ertisements for the airy goods mer-
chant, the milliner and the jeweler.
They are 'catty.' but poor things, they
can't help it. They talk scandal be-

drudges and slaves of their own sex
who are unfortunate enough to work
for them. In every manner conceivable
women show themselves to be inferior
to men.

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

A good way TO ventilate bedroom in
the winter, or sick room without having
draft in the room, is to open the window
few inches from the top and tack some
muslin over the opening. 1t can be left
this way all winter. Perhaps an equally
good way is 10 open from the bottom
slightly and board up leaving a small
space between window glass and sill so
that air is forced up, net allowed to enter
directly.
Do our readers know that ostrich feath-
ers can be recurled by holding them in
the smoke OF granuIated sugar, burned on
the stove? That black lace can be re-
stored by being dipped in cold black tea,
then pulled out on fiat surface and left
to dry. "A pane of glass is excellent
That black silk may be renewed in this
way: Take equal parts of vinegar and
water; put the silk on a smooth surface,
and make very wet. Smooth all wrinkles
out with the hand cover with papers :;
leave over night, until dry. Do not press
with irons.
To keep flowers fresh and to make
them last longer, fill the vase half full of
freshly pounded charcoal and add water
until charcoal is saturated and vase is
nearly full, then put in your flowers. If

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS

At this season COWS that are about to
calve should have especial care. Should
the COW be fat, remove all grain from her
ration and give hot bran mash and a
dose OF EPSON salts, ginger ard molasses
a day or two before she calves and also
the day AFTER
Horses that are worked to the limit of
their ability, should have all their grain
ground and fed on moistened cut hay.
For heavy breathing or rattling in the
throat of poultry, nothing is better than
"a teaspoonful of glycerine, to which is
added four drops of turpentine.
White Dutch clover is very desirable as
pastnrage for bees. The seed may be
sown any time in April. 1t resists
drought much better than most of the
grasses, and forms a close green turf for
the lawn, if kept cut after it is we'll rooted.
Do not prune grapevines during April
or May, as the bleeding will occasion a
wasteful and an injurious expenditure of
| sap
| Watercress can be easily grown in the
shadows of any pure water stream that
has sandy or gravelly bottom, steady
| flow and a moderate current, if the seeds
are sown at once in the moist soil at water
level; or crop may be secured quicker
by pegging down cuttings in an inch or
two of water till they take root. After
planting no cultivation is needed except
ing to keep free from weeds and aquatic
grasses.
Three rules for success in gardening
are: Freedom from weeds, thinning out,
and keeping the ground mellow.
Cucumbers and squash have the same
enemies, but the BEETLE will leave the
cucumber and prefer the squash, which
induces some growers to plant a few
squash vines near cucumbers in order
to trap the BEETLES.
Green peas and onions should be sown
at the first opportunity, if not already in
tlle STOuHu.
When the weather is favorable, beet,
carrot, cress. kale, leek, onion seeds, extra
early peas, potatoes, radish, spinach and
early turnips can be sown in the open
ground.
The finer the soil, the better the vege-
tables, both in quantity and quality.
Work the surface soil over after each |
rain, and thus retain all the moisture.
Vegetables delight in having a warm,
deep, rich and mellow soil, and will gen.
erously pay for the privilege.
Two crops can often be planted on the
same ground by planting early and late
varieties, removing the early as soon as
mature.
1t is good plan to apply the fertilizer
to the land a week or ten days before !

NEW YORK FASHIONS

Never before were frocks and millinery
intended to make their first appearance
on the great church festival more fascinat
ing than in the present year of grace.
Sbantung silk of very thick, coarse
weave in the natural tan shade is made
into very smart spring suit. The skirt
is in one of the new gored styles, trimmed
with silk braid OF exactly the same shade
as the material, while the jacket is a short
Eton model with the body and sleeves
cut in one piece. This is also most elab-
orately braided and is intended to be
worn over a waist of ecru alIover lace,
finished at the neck with a lace jabot
which hangs over the front of the coat.
Easter Hats
The large hat of straw or net trimmed
in the front with huge lace bow is
literally call the rage' in New York at
the present moment These bows are
made of fancy net, nialines, princess lace
or almost any lace material and are wired
along each edge and made into a big, stiff,
many looped bow. Flowers, of course,
are the favorite trimming at this season.
Both large and small flowers are used and
they are piled on the hats in masses with
a much higher effect than has been seen
for several years. One of the very newest
and most fashionable ideas is the employ
ment of the floral pompon.
Many very smart hats are trimmed with
tussah silk. A charming example Of this

style is white chip sailor with the under
part of the brim covered with pale blue
tussah. The top is trimmed with fan
like arrangement of white coque feathers
and has a scarf of the tussah around the
crown drawn through big, elk covered
buckle in 'front.'. .......
Fashionable Gloves e.
When muffs are discarded and new
spring attire donned, woman's gloves
become an especially prominent feature
of her costume. While there are several
excellent brands of fine French kid one
lis sure that a 'Perrin" is perfection in
cut, style, material and finish, and no
other make offers such a range of shades
in all the newest and most desirable
colorings. Sixteen button length Nous
quetaires continue TO be most in demand,
and yellow tints from pale lemon to deep
tawny tans are leaders. 1t is correct to
match the costume or its trimmings
exactly in the glove, and this can be done
in all the Copenhagen blues, apricots and
Resedas as we'll as in the new pinkish
mauves and myrtles while Taupe and
lighter grays come in many shades.
