FOR EVENING GOWNS.

Jet and crystal beads and beetle
wing embroidery are the newest or
namentation for evening dress, and
jet and silver spangles often cover
the chlamys of an evening gown.
Chlamys is the classic name in vogue
for the moment to describe the thin
net or mousseline outer drapery OF
such gowns. Strictly speaking. it
should be only applied to the float
ing fabrics of gauzy sort; but at
present every outer drapery of thin
fabric is alluded to as chlamys,
even where weighted with jet or cry
stall, SO that it actually sheaths the
figure. The evening scarfs are Of
tulle, lined with chiffon and bordered
with ermine. They are very long
and reach almost to the foot of the
dress. -Harper's Bazaar.

Young geese are ready for market
when the tips of their wings reach
the tail. which is when they are about
ten weeks of age.
1t is claimed it is much easier to
dress goslng in warm than in cold
weather. as the feathers do not set
so tight and il picking them the
flesh is not SO apt TO be torn.
Air blisters often show themselves
in young chicks. The skin puffs out
and seems like bladder of wind.

good way of bracing such a pole Is
portrayed in Fig. 3. A toe of cement

Ways to Brace Poles For Private Tele-
phone Lines.
BY THALEoN BLAKE.


The extension of telephone lines to
rural districts is one Of the real bless
lngs modern science and business en-
terprise have bestowed upon the
farmers. Most of these spurs and
cross-country lines are made at the
expense Of the telephone companies;
but sometimes, when the number of
subscribers does not warrant it, the
prospective customers must furnish
or erect their own poles. Even If
these are done by the companies,
many boys may desire to unite their
neighbors' houses with theirs by pri-
vate telephone or telegraph lines.
Telegraphy is fascinating study to
boys. To those who contemplate the
erection of a private telephone or
telegraph line it may be informing
for them to examine these designs
Of two ways of bracing poles. In fact,
the plans are worthy of any farmers
attention who uses poles for any pur-
pose whatsoever about the farm.

and in that length of time has bred
nearly every variety in the catalog. In
summing up my experience find that
more depends ON the strain of birds
one keeps, than on variety of any
system Of feeding. / have long ago
gotten away from the notion that
there is any best breed for winter
egg production. There are establish
ed strains of bred-to-lay fowls that
have the egg-laying habit so intense
ly bred into them that to lay all
through the winter seems to be sec
ond nature to them. They have been
bred for purpose. Birds whose an
cestors for five or ten generations
have been bred for prolific egg yield
are as far ahead of the ordinary barn.

modern Jersey is ahead of the scrub
cow as dairy animal. One such
hen will lay as many eggs in year
as two to four of the common farm
hens. We breed the Gowell strain OF

years ago and has bred by the In

the greatest laying strain Of Barred

PROPER FOOD.

In the growing of young chicks
many people give the greatest care
and attention for the first two or
three weeks and then neglect them.
The best rule in feeding is to give
= sufficient quantity every day from
the time they are Matched until they
have grown to maturity. Too much
fseding is perhaps worse than not
enough but good and plenty all the
time expresses it. This means a
plentiful supply of good Wholesome
food every day until they are fully
matured either for the market. for
winter layers, the breeding pen, the
showroom or for whatever purpose
they are intended.
It Is comparatively easy matter.
by colonizing and placing their roost-
ing coops in different localities to
keep the various ages and sizes of
poultry separate. so that those of one
age may be fed and grown together.
This prevents the larger or more ma
tured chicks from running over,
trampling and destroying the young
er ones and places them all upon an
equality as to size and strength.
Those who have not carefully con-
sidered the matter will scarcely real
tze what large number OF chicks
are destroyed by being trampled to
death by older ones when they are
all compelled to run together and
grab their food supply. catchas-catch-

VERTICAL. WRITING.

A French commission appointed by
the Government to make an inves.
tigation Of the comparative merits OF
the vertical and horizontal writing
systems can see no advantage in the
vertical, although it has been adopt
ed to some extent in that country.
According to the. final report Of this
body the system Is responsible for
serious physical defects in some
cases. In writing by the vertical
system the right arm is held in an
unnatural position, which makes 1t
impossible for the child to maintain
a normal and hygienic posture. Yer
tical writing is performed very SLOW
ly and laboriously. and may seriously
injure children who are predisposed
to spinal curvature and other deformi-
ties or to writer's cramp. The ocu-
list of the commission denies that
vertical writing presents any advan-
tage over inclined writing with re-
spect to the prevention of shortsight-
edness.-New York Press.

COUNTESS GRANARD IN POLITICS
Why did Beatrice Mills wait until
she was the Countess Granard to
take active interest in public affairs?
This young woman has been married
only few months. yet she already
has established herself as one of
the most influential of the political
hostesses in London. She has taken
to platform speaking, she pre-
sides at meetings of political
clubs and she has become an
aggressive suffragist Against that
record she devoted time to So
ciety here without manifesting the
slightest interest in anything outside
her social circle. Doubtless had she
married an American instead of an
Englishman she would have continued
in her old way of exclusive interest
in fashionable routine. The explana-
ton. of course, lies in the fact that
the rich man in England takes it
for granted that he much busy him
self in politics. while here the million
aire who dabbles in politics is the
exception. Furthermore. the English
man enlists his wife in his political
work. and often she proves the strong
er partner. Miss Mills. had all the

KEEPING EGGS.

Science seems to be making an
active inroad on prejudice and ig-
norance and even the man who has
been fighting book farming is willing
to confess that great strides have
been made along certain lines that
have been beneficial to his own in
terests. The latest we have had up
to the present in the preservation of
eggs and the prolonging of their edi-
Bile qualities has been by the water
glass system. which is quite gener-
ally known. Now comes scientist
who claim a method that will even
up the egg business at wonderful
rate. The shells by the new pro-
cess are first .disinfected and then
immersed in a vessel Of paraffin
wax in vacuum. The air in the
shell is extracted by the vacuum.
and atmospheric pressure is then al
lowed to enter the vessel, when the
hot wax is forced into the pores"
of the she'll. which thus Theoretically
seals it. Evaporation of the con-
tents of the egg. which has a harm
ful effect, is thereby prevented, and,
the egg is practically sterile.-Reg-
