THE MODERN SIGN OF SPRING.

Out west the real estate agent is said to be the rival of the robin as a sign of spring and if he has not the song or the vermillion front of the robin, ne has an energy and voice with which the robin cannot compete.
 A western exchange says: "f you are one who responds to the call of the open you will never lack for the sight or sign of your fellowmen in the borders Of the town. Far off you hear a shout and behold figure waving his arms. You plod patiently over seep- ing paths and sodden fields and are greeted with the information that no land is so inviting and desirable for suburban residence as that whereon you have just put your foot. You saunter along an outlying road, medi- tating, maybe, upon the mystery of the reproducing soil. At a turn in the road your dream is broken in upon by huge, heavily -lettered, vermilIion- painted board proclaiming that now is your last chance to obtain a bargain in a home site.''
 There is no time while the sun shines that the real estate agent does not keep himself before the public. and while robin redbreast sings down the sun, the real estate agent is at it un- der the stars

FREIGHT CLASSIFICATION.

The suggestion of the Railway Age Gazette that freight should be divided into three classes at three distinct rates based upon the rapidfty of the service appears to receive a favorable hearing from those who know the value of despatch and are willing to the increase to facilitate business. Un- der the present system the big shipper gets. all the advantage and the small patron most of the delays. It is very generally conceded that any plan that will furnish rapid transit for package freight at fair rates should benefit both the shippers and the roads and the man who deyises and executes it will deserve 0 monument for his serv- ices in the cause Of transportation.

Rose-M akinu.

Roses for the summer hat are made of whatever pretty lace you have in the house. Cream white or black is used, and sometimes a combination of two tones. with the lighter for the center will make more effective work.
 The foundation of the roses depends upon the folding of the lace round a given center-upon the feeling of the worker. It may be a. thing of beauty, a triumph of art such as the French rniIhner will bring forth by her gen. jus or a mere stiff little twisty thing of lace looking very little like the flow CT for which it is named. Examine the handmade rose. The art of rose making may be acquired if we have 1t not.

To Clean JeweIry.

With all its trials the wedding ring is bright, for hand washing suits it there being no better treatment than soap and water for either plain gold or silver jewelry, unless it be much tarnished. Warm water, a little soapy Iather and soft brush for articles of intricate workmanship, with a brisk rub at finish on tissue paper, is the recipe for brooches, chains and bangles.
 Considering its simplicity it seems a pity that many women appear content ed to wear chains and necklets so dirty that they not only soil white and light gowns but the flesh itself.
 For cleaning all pieces of Jewelry, after repairs or otherwise, fine box wood sawdust is ordinarily employed. To use this the trinket is shaken in it, care being taken that it is well embed ded in the soft dust. A final polishing is administered with tissue paper, not oh anlois leather-the latter being usu- ally reserved for watch cases, chased smelling bottles, stoppers and what may be called large surfaces.

RreteIIes-

Bretelle trimmings continue to be ex- tremely popular and are seen on a large number of ultra-smart French bodices.
 In some instances the bretelles are composed wholly of folds which, start ing from the waist line, but concealing only the sides of the figure, extend widely over the shoulders and for some distance over the sleeves.
 The Japanese arm-size idea is still seen on the arrangement of those bre- telles which, being of the material of the gown, are made to form the entire short sleeve, the narrow space or V at the back and front of the bodice being filled in with a deep suimpe of net or lace, whose supplementary sleeves oft en extend well over the band.
 A type of bretelles which ultimately becomes a sash is one which, being so draped over the shoulders as to leave the tops of the sleeves and the under arm forms of the bodice exposed, is attached to a draped girdle that at the back holds in place the two long sash ends of the accessory.

Briar Stitchina.

One objection to briar stitching on somewhat heavy materials is that the work does not stand out, but sinks into the fabric, and effect is lost, es- pecially after laundering.
 If when working on 1ongcloth, mus lin or heavy cambric, one uses a num-. Der eight spool cotton such as is adapt ed to ordinary sewing, he briar- stitching stands out much better than if mercerized embroidery cottons are employed.
 Such thread is unsuited to dainty work such as is put on baby clothes, No. 30 or 35 mercerized cotton being used, according to fneness of material and delicacy of stitchery.
