ELEVATED HANDsHAKE.

Hsw the Fashion Orfgfnnted-Ena.
press Josephfns's Handkerchief.
1t appears that some Of the present
day fashions owe their origin to physi-
cal defects, says the London Globe. The
elevated handshake is one of these. and
a Paris contemporary throws an inter
esting light upon Its origin. 1t appears
that prince, a leader of society In the
French capital, had a carbuncle or
some such inconvenient and painful
growth on his shoulder. Whenever 4
friend gave him handshake the oper-
alton az far as the prince was CONCERN
ed was most painful. To prevent this
he raised his hand horizontally to his
shoulder, and, II we may use the ex-
preston, had 'the whip hand"
The new method Of handshske was
the astonishment and admiration of
certain persons always ON the lookout
for the latest In society, who thought
that the prince had inaugurated a new
fashion which one sees daily in opera
ton In the Strand.
The dainty lace handkerchief which
ladies use owes its origin also to the
defects of nature. The unhappy En-
press Josephine introduced the fashion.
She suffered from bad teeth, and living
In the time when American dentistry
was unknown, she cast about her for
some means to hide the defect. The
cambria handkerchief with rich lace
was the outcome. If the empress wish
ed to laugh or had to open her mouth
widely the handkerchief was requisi-
toned.
Again, yellow lace has Its origin in
sadness, according to tradition. A lady
of distinction had lost her husband by
shipwreck or some other cause. She
was impressed with the idea that he
would return and vowed to continue
wearing until he was restored to her
the lace which adorned her dress when
she said farewell. Like Josephine's
handkerchief, her intimates thought her
soiled lace was an innovation in fash
ion and adopted means to copy 1t.

Crop Rotation.

In order that we may maintain inc
supply OF humus and thus preserve the
fertility of the soil. 1t is essential that
on all tillable lands that we adopt
rotation Of crops. much larger pro-
portion Of our land should be In perma-
nent pasture. 1t is easy for farmer
to adopt a rotation on the portion or
his land that is under tillage, but the
adoption of a rotation necessarily In
wolves some branch Of animal feeding
In order to utilize the clovers and
grasses which form so essential part
Of the rotation. Growing and feeding
live stock will avail but little unless
the manure is carefully saved, both liq-
uids and solids, and applied regularly.
Where a general line Of live stock
farming is being followed there need
be but little fear of a decline in the
productive capacity of the farm. There
are certain soils that may be deficient
in potash or phosphoric acid and on
such soils 1t will pay large returns to
use mineral fertilizers In connection
with the manure that is made on the
farm. Do not use commercial fertiliz-
ers unless you have reason to believe
that your soil is deficient In the ele-
ments that you are buying. 1t is 4
waste Of money to supply elements that
are not needed by the soil.-Agricultur-
al Epitomist.
