Girls Dress.

The dress that can be worn either
with or without guimpe as the day
may require is serviceable one, and
this pretty little model possesses that
advantage at the same time that it Is
chic and attractive. In the illustra-
ton it is made from a simple printed
wash fabric with bands of white. For
the trimming bands any contrasting
material would be pretty, and If some
thing very elaborate were wanted
they could be made from embroidery
or heavy lace, or they could be braid
ed with the soutache that is such q
favorite, The sleeves are cut in one
with the blouse portion, and the labor
of making is slight in the extreme,
yet the dress is one of the most at
tractive the season has to offer.
The frock is made with blouse and
skirt. The blouse consists of the
front and back portions and the skirt
is made in one straight piece. The
blouse is gathered and the skirt ia
pleated, and the two are Joined by
means of the belt, while the front or
the skirt is extended over the lower
edge of the blouse, so making a dis
tinctive and novel effect

CAUSE AND CURE FOR GAPES.
In answer to an inquire to his of.
flee, Prof H. A. Surface, of the De.
partment of Agriculture, of Pennsyl.
vania, gives the following suggestions
as to the cause of gapes in chickens
and some remedies. therefor.
"Gapes in little chickens are caused
by the eating of earth-worms. There
are parasites in the earth-worms
which find their way into the wind
pipe of the chicken and lodge there,
where they take the form of little
red worms. The best preventive is
to keep the chickens from the sur
face of the ground; or use salt or
strong salt water on the soil, so as
to kill the earth-worms; or strew
strong lime or something of the kind
on the ground, so that the chicks will
not get hold of the worms to eat
them.
After the chicks have been attack
ed with gapes, however, you can dis
lodge the worms by making a very
small loop in a twisted horse hair.
draw out the tongue of the chick
slightly, insert the horse hair loop in
the windpipe opening, which will be
seen between the forks at the base Of
the tongue. and, twisting the hair
around, withdraw it. The worms are
likely to be found within the loop, or
some of them will have been thus
removed. and the operation can be re-
peated.
Another remedy is to dip the tip
of soft feather into kerosene and
insert it in the windpipe opening to
dislodge and kill the worms. Such
treatment, although severe, lis better
than letting the worms remain undis-
turbed, to severely annoy the fowls
and even kill them.
Mixing turpentine or other sub
stances in the food of the young poul-
try has not proven satisfactory as .
remedy for gapes."

CLEAN HOUSES.

We must not forget to keep the hen
houses clean, as it is really more inn
portant now than in the winter. as
the summer is the breeding season of
lice and mites, and they will always
take advantage of filth as hiding
place in daytime, while at night they
will torment the birds. Change the
straw in the nest boxes often and

FERDINAND OF BULGARIA
 VISITS GEAR NICHOL AS

St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-Emperor Ferdinand of Bulgaria arrived here to- day on an imperial train which brought him from the frontier.
 Grand Duke Constantine, on behalf of Emperor Nicholas, met the visiting Emperor; General Hazenkampf, com mander of the forces in the capital, presented a formal report and the band struck up the Maritza hymn. The colors of the Zeminowsky regiment were dipped and the guard of honor presented arms.
 Several aides-d de- camp were assigned to the Emperor and he accompanied the Grand Duke in a carriage to the fort ress of St. Peter and St. Paul. whither Emperor Nicholas had proceeded a short time before. It was stated that the Russian Emperor intended to meet the Bulgarian ruler personally at the station, but as the train was two hours late, the honor was delegated to Grand Duke Constantine.
 Emperor Nicholas and the royal vlsi- tors who had come to St. Petersburg to attend the funeral of Grand Duke Via dimlr, had already taken their places In the cathedral when Emperor Ferdi- hand arrived. His presence raised a delicate point of etiquette. As Austria and the other powers had not recog- nized the independence of Bulgaria, Archduke Friederich. under the old or der. was entitled to precedence, but the new Czar immediately stepped into the place of honor beside the Emperor of Russia.
 A formal dinner was given at Tsar- skoe-Selo in honor of the visitors. Elm peror Nicholas will dine with Emperor Ferdinand tomorrow.
 The interment of the late Grand Duke was conducted according to che long and beautiful liturgy of the Rus sian church. The funeral was not marked by the slightest untoward inci- dent, The repeated drives of Emperor Nicholas through the main streets un- escorted, the lack O. precautionary measures beyond the stationing of an additional number of plain clothes men on the sidewalks and only the momen- tary stoppage of traffic go to show that the old conditions of safety, so far as the sovereign Is concerned, are being re-established in the capital.
 The Empress was unable to attend any of the ceremonies In connection with the lnterment on account of ill., ness.
