Oriuin of the Cravat.

While every man wears cravat,
there is probably not one In thousand
who could in an offhand way tell you
how 1t came about that men first
placed such an ornament about their
collars. The word cravat came into our
language about 1886. Prior to that
year a feature of the uniform of the
Austrian cavalry was a wide band of
coarse linen worn In folds around the
neck under their short hussar jackets.
This cavalry organization was called
the Cravatte, its members being styled
the Cravattes. Later in the seven
teenth century France recruited reg
iment Of cavalry. adopting for 1t the
uniform Of the Austrian regiment re-
cruited in Croatia. calling it the Royal
Cravattes. Later In England the word
cravat was applied to neckerchief.
After the battle of Steenkerke, In Flan-
ders. in 1892, an English officer brought
home the steamkirk, a long flowing
neckscarf. The neckwear today is
clearly traceable to the steamkirk and
the modification 1t underwent.-Sarto-
rial Art Journal.

How Wyckoff Was Revealed.

The late Professor Walter A. Wyck-
off of Princeton had a passion for
knowledge at first hand and will be
best remembered as the college pro-
lessor who studied labor conditions by
becoming himself a laborer. Starting
In 1891 in Connecticut with no money
and with a suit Of overalls, he worked
his way through nearly every state in
the Ucicn after the fashion of the
foating laborers of this country, so
many of whom ultimately become
tramps. Wherever there was a posi-
bility of work he applied for it, wheth-
err it were digging bitches, wrecking
houses or factory work. For awhile
his incognito usually worked we'll, but
as soon as his fellow laborers saw him
at table they at once began to suspect
him. His manner Of eating, his way
of holding knife and fork, at once set
them specializing. Once he was seen
drinking tea at a fellow laborer's
house In Chicago. He lifted the saucer
from the table, held it in his hand and
forgot himself so far as to drink with
out noise. IT knowed them" his host
afterward said, "that he was a swell
rading."-Harper's Weekly.

PLAIN DUTCH NARROWING.

required distance at each end and place
pole upright at each end and at the
end opposite to the one where you
commence blowing. Place another
pole farther on. lining It up with the
end poles. Step off the same distance
at each end that you do at the sides,
SO the land will be the right proper
ton. Start the plow and keep the two
end poles in line between the horses
heads, and get a straight furrow to
start with. All that is now necessary
Is to keep the back furrow straight
with the other, and after that keep
the horse in the furrow, and turn the
soil in even layers, slightly tapping
over, leaving no space between them.
AS soon as land is finished harrow
and drag 1t before commencing anoth
err field. If using two teams, the first
one to finish uses the harrow and drag
This rests the team by a change. This
method puts the land in fine condition
and saves much future work, as fresh
ly plowed land works much better
than where an entire field is plowed

Dragging Dutch fashion" may be
new to some and prove Of value. Its
advantages are that 1t drags neither
lens -hwiSe nor square across the fur
rows and makes easier corners than
the ordinary diagonal dragging The
plain Dutch fashion Is shown in the
diagram. Commence by striking out"
from A to B. Turn to the right and
20 back on the left side of first track
till you reach edge Of field near A.
Drive across the first track and back
on the opposite side to the other end.
Cross over and back on opposite side
again.
\ Continue crossing over at each end
inside your last track and outside the
last track along the sides. When half
done the piece will look like the first
diagram, and the next trip would be
from G to D, to E, to F, to G. When
done the last trip would be from G to
III, and the piece will have been drag
ged twice diagonally in opposite direc-
lions. This works well on pieces that
are nearly square or not more than
twice as long as wide. OF late. said
one who had tried this system, we
have found that 1t is economy in plow-
ing. cultivating, etc.. to make our lands
as long as possible. On these Dutch
dragging did not work as well, as 1t
| was too near lengthwise the burrows,
SO we hit upon what we call "crazy
Dutch" shown in the second diagram.
We strike OUT zigzag across the
piece two or three or more times, ac-
cording to its length compared to
width. The diagram shows three times
viz, from A to B, to G, to D. Turn to the
right and go back on left to first track
to G and drive across it. Go on right
side to B, then up left side to A. Cross
over and back on left side Of B. Drive
straight across the first two tracks.

GRASS CULTURE.
Forethought and Intelligent Super

Forethousht and Intelligent Super
vision Insure Good Lawn.
Great care should be taken by the
gardener with his lawn 1t is the can
vas upon which he will paint his flow
er bed pictures and landscape effects.
To be successful he must prepare his
canvas well.
The first thing is to grade the
ground, smoothing rough surfaces,
making proper level stretches and gen.
tie slopes. If possible, the lawn should
slope from the house. The grading
should be done so as to distribute
evenly all surface water, avoiding the
formation of little runs which might
produce washouts.
The soil should be enriched with a
liberal supply Of we'll rotted manure.
This Is essential where the soil is lack
ing in humus: otherwise bone meal or
other good fertilizer is useful, and ma
nure often contains the seed of weeds.
The ground should be plowed or spad-
ed not less than eight inches deep, re-
moving all the stones and similar ma
terial. and the surface made as smooth
as possible. Then it is ready for SOW
ing.
One of the best mixtures for the
lawn is four parts Kentucky blue grass
with one part of white clover, sown
not less than five bushels to the acre.
Equally good results are usually OBJ
tanned by the use of redtop in place
Of the blue grass or with equal parts
of redtop and blue grass and little
white clover When moisture is plen-
tiful the blue grass forms softer turf
than the redtop, but does not seem to
endure drought so. well. In shady
places the blue grass mixture is best.
Nothing but pure seed should be sown.
1t is we'll to be liberal with the seed,
not to scatter it too thinly and to re-
seed portions that come up poorly.

The Most Beautiful Flau.

In a village school in the Acadian
region of Nova Scotia the young lady
teacher. who was from a portion of
Canada more remote from the United
States than the section she was In
was on one occasion preparing for a
little celebration Of empire day. Call
ing one of the boys, she gave him a
coin and said to him:
"Take this, please, and 60 out and
get us the prettiest flag you can find"
She had no Idea, of course, of his
procuring anything else than a British
flag, and her establishment was great
therefore. when the boy came back
with a small edition of the stars and
stripes.

asked sharply. did you suppose l

Whx They Don't Desert.

"Instances of 8 desertion from the
army in Mexico are very rare and for
the best of reasons said Senior Jose
de MinaldeZ of Nueva Leon.
1.-THE reason lies in the almost sure
capture of the fugitive and the certain
~ that he will get not one but numer-
GUS foggings on his bare back. These
lashings are done in the presence OF
the comrades OF the deserter, and when
the men see how great is the suffering
Of the miserable wretch who tried in
vain to quit his military obligations
they are forced to conclude that it is
better to stick to the army than to un-
dergo such a terrible ordeal."-Baltf-
