Odd Wells.

Certainly there are some odd but
very pretty wells this season. One no
ticeable feature of the winter wells is
the velvet dot Dotted wells have not
been seen for years. yet the new ones
are noticeable for the scarcity of dots
on one single veil and the immense
size of the coin effect. One veil may
have d single dot. two, three or five
and no difference how marked; the
dots are conspicuous, though placed
where, as one dealer says, they will do
the least damage. They are like beau
ty patches, only much larger. One
must know how to adjust veil Of this
kind or the dot may appear on the
mouth, one eye, tip of the nose or
point of the chin, and 1t gives quaint
appearance to the weaTar. Other wells
are extremely thin. rather plain of
weave and daintily trimmed on the
edges with borders OF satin applied or
woven in the texture.

ASKS FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Sothern Alleges lmcompatibiIity
of Temper As Ground.

New York, July 22.-MemberS of the
theatrical profession in this city were
not surprised when it was learned late
yesterday that f. II. SOthern. the ac-
tor. had been served with papers in q
suit for divorce brought by his wife,
Virginia Harmed, who alleges incom-
patibility of temper. The suit was
brought IN Reno, New, where Miss
Harmed has been living to gain legal
residence. The service was made on
Mr.. Sothern before he sailed for Eu-
rope recently.
1t was reported that each will marry
again wnen the divorce is granted, but
this was denied by Miss Harmed. No
alimony is asked for by Miss Harmed
her husband having settled upon her
some time ago a life income Of $4,000
a year and presented to her house in
69th street The Sotherns have been
living apart about two years. it is not
believed that Mr.. Sothern will contest
the suit. Mrs. Sothern comes from one
of the old families of Virginia, though
she was born in Boston.

PRACTICAL FARMING
SMALL GARDENS.
Their Value in Connection With Gen.
eral Farming.

My garden last year was in two
plats, one 30X50 feet, the other three
cornered lot containing about 1000
square feet or less than an eighth of
an acre in all. and not very good soil.
The cost of blowing, fertilizer and
seeds was $685. l kept an account of
most of the products from it at the
market rates here, which amounted
to 1855. but many times radishes, let
tuce, rheubarb, beets and onions We're
taken in such small lots as not to be
worth setting down, and of Swiss
chard I raised all that l wanted for
green's, and gave away several bushels
from five-cent package of seed sown,
none of which was placed on the ac-
count, as it had no market price here.
OF other things l sold to the value of
$677 to my neighbors, and of what we
used in the family l charged $1SSS
worth.
I did not keep account of my labor,
and may not have received % cents an
hour for it, but it was mostly done i'll
odd hilf-hours when l had nothing
else to do, and l had my vegetables
fresh from the garden and thus of bet

the markets where they might have
been lying for days, or than l could
have bought from the hucksters, who
often buy such as they can buy cheap

CITY LEAGUE STANDING.
FREE PASS QUESTION
Made an Issue With the Boston &
Maine in New Hampshire.

Manchester, N. H., July 22.-The
campaign being conducted against the
Boston & Maine Railroad by Rosecrans
W. Pillsbury, a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor,
reached an interesting chapter today
when letters between Mr.. Pillsbury and
President futile of the Boston & Maine
Railroad were made public. The sub
ject of contention appeared to be the
number of free passes. if any that the
railroad has and is said to be issuing.
Mrs. Pillsbury made demand on Mr..
futile, that in the interests of public
policy he furnished list of the free
passes and the names of the holders.
President futile answered by denying
that his railroad was taking any part
in politics or that any persons We're
being influenced in New Hampshire
by the gifts of free passes, adding that
it would be improper for the Boston q
Maine Railroad to issue a campaign
document for the alleged benefit of any
candidate for political office.
Mr.. Pillsbury made reply that it was
inferrable that the Boston & Maine
Railroad this year had sent out be-
tween 500 and 700 annual free passes
to persons in New Hampshire and
about 400 of these We're sent to men
whose political activity and acumen
were well known Mr.. Pillsbury makes
a demand upon the railroad for some
statement that will explain the con-
sideration for which the alleged passes
are issued.

Notes on Beans.

Beans arc easy to grow, but mex
perienced gardeners often fail in their
first crop by planting the seed before
the ground has become warm and dry.
No vegetable seed will decay more
quickly than the bean. Delay in wait
ing for the soil to dry out in the spring
will be more than made up by the rap
idity Of growth when the beans are
planted correctly.
Beans will grow in almost any soil,
but the best results are obtained by
having rich, well-worked ground. The
beans may be dropped in drills one
inch deep, and seeds to lie. three inches
apart. Cover with soil and firm with
the back of a hoe. For bush varieties
allow eighteen to tWenty-four inches
between drills. For the dwarf limas
two and 4 half feet is better. Limas
should not be planted until the wealth
er is warm. Pole limas are usually
planted ir hills two or three feet apart
in the rows. Dwarf lnias may be
sown thinly in drills

Gus strains OF the black wax are the

lima type is probably the best shell
bean, but the trouble of polling it makes
it unpopular Both the dwarf limas
and the pole limas require a longer
season to mature than the bush variC-

planted at intervals until August 10.

To Protect Sheep Against Dogs.

With regard to protecting flock of
sheep against dogs. Fl. B. Grimbau Of
James Island, S. c., writes The Prac-
teal Farmer: Keep a few. goats in
the flock and dogs will never bother
them. We had flock Of 800 head and
never lost one when we had goats. I
used to he a breeder of broadtail sheep
and know what / am talking about"
The above is excellent advice. Goats
are natura. born fighters and will stand
up to a pretty good sized dog. In the
northwest, sheep breeders sometimes
use them to protect their fiocks from
timber wolves. OF course, the goat
has no show, but he can keep the
