or pique is found to be cheaper, it
could be used. Then, If the sewing is
to be done entirely for autumn, the
mother thinking this a very good time
for getting rid of the practical gar
ments, neither a skirt nor a shirt
waist style could be found more suit
able for school wear. Concerning the
autumn materials needed in this case,
pray remember that the first fabrics
are put forth in August, and as it
sometimes happens that they are left
overs from last year they are general
ly cheaper than later on.
Let me conclude by saying that
ready-made women's wear is quite as
cheap as that for misses, and also
that many a garment seen is adapted
to house use all the winter long. Then
the footwear, selling so low, is very
handy to have in the house for an
other summer. The uncut materials
can always be kept over, and there is
many a cheap hat so durable and
charming that 1t fairly speaks of next
year. At any rate, the smartest peo-
pie never rush" into autumn milf
merry. They wear summer hats and
summer dresses just as long as it is
possible to wear them.

Hot Weather Drink.

Philip Hale, one of Boston's latter
day philosophers, recommends barley
water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than "%ice-cold" blends of wa
tiers, sirups, acids, gulped at the mar
BILE fountains. Mr.. Hale's recipe for
his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints Of water you will
require a teacupful and a half of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps Of
sugar and the thin rind and juice Of
n lemon. Pour boiling water over
it, cover with a saucer and let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into a Jug"
A buttermi1k fan adds:
Then set the jug in a cool place
and forget it."

HER LITTLE HAND IN HIS
Mr.. Pickles. Explanation as to Reason
Somewhat DIspeIled the odor
of Romance.

Henne and Pecke were two henpeck-
ed married men. The other day they
met, and, after a few casual remarks
concerning the weather, the subject
of women and unfortunate husbands
was-perhaps naturally-discussed To
Henne, however, suddenly came
thoughts of years ago, when he was
a happy bachelor, and (unconsciously
Of what Fate had in store for him)
was walking out" a girl who was,
later on, destined to bring him sor-
row and misery.
Pecke, seeing a "far-away" look in
his companions eyes, inquired the
meaning. Henne retorted dramat-
icallys Il was Just then thinking, old
fellow, of those happy days long ago
when used to hold that girls hand
in mine for hours-when-"
But the equally unfortunate Pecke
suddenly cut his companion short by
exclaiming: why, that's nothing!
Cheer up! Do you know, only yes
terday l held my wife's hand for three
solid hours"
"What?" said the startled Henne.

loose she'd have killed me."-London

What He Bought.

A Syracuse business mar living in
one of the suburbs decided to give
up his spacious back yards to the rails

information he could acquire on the
subject of the currant industry, he
went down town one Saturday after
noon recently and returned with his
arms full of books.

astic spouse, as he dumped the vol
umes on the table, did you succeed
in getting what you wanted?"

A large hand looks smaller below

Fertilizers for Black cumbo.

In the southwest black gumbo soils
are frequently difficult to handle. OF
late years they have been planted free
ly to orchards of various kinds and
orange and grape fruits seem to occu-
by considerable attention. For these
two crops, use a mixture of equal
parts cottonseed meal and acid phos-
phorus at the rate Of 500 pounds per
acre. Apply this In the spring when
the trees begin to grow. 1t may be
applied around the trees and worked
in, beginning at some little distance
from the tree, depending upon the
size. Fol small trees begin at a dis
lance of two feet. For large trees at
a distance of about 10 feet. For trees
four "a old, SO pounds of kainit can
be added to the above mixture. The
mixture with the kainit added will be
suitable for pears, plums and peaches.

IDEAS ENOUGH TO SUIT ALL
Nothing But Ones Own Taste Is the
Guide for the Present Season
Millinery.

The truth is, the fashionable woman
has not such a choice in hats as the
multitude. Look at any Of the pas
sengers on a street car and you will
find that there are not two alike.
Some wea a miniature tall hat made
or the manly model. Others have
taken the chimney pot, made the
crown shallower at the back than at
the front, and added a narrow up
turned brim. Pretty girls hide their
faces by a sort of turban that de-
sends below the eyebrows and has
an upturned battlemented brim and
feathers behind, anywhere, in fact, but
where a feather used to be. Some
wear a Dutch bonnet of silk with no
stiffening, turning back from the face.
When this is made, of soft brown sat-
in, the color of the hair, it looks as if
the wearer had forgotten her headgear
altogether.
Enormous hats have wells, carefully
adjusted, so that the face seems to
be suspended in a hammock. Even
the ubiquitous sailor has yielded to
the cheap tunnel-shaped straws to be
bought for a small price.
But the fashionable woman has to
choose with greater care. She can
only permit herself to be bizarre with
a difference" and there are sufficient
shapes to get n to suit her if it SO
pleases her. So much in a hat de-
ponds on the way it is put on, and the
hat of today needs much adjustment.

AND
FAPr1NOTEs

Fix up the binders before the begin
ming of harvest.
Sow some grass seed on the bare
spots of the lawn.
Good hay depends more than half
upon the hay-maker.
Plan in plenty of time to de-tassel
tSe corn on the seed plot.
There is always trouble with milk
and cream in hot weather.
Spray the fruit trees. 1t Ia good in
a TO- this years crop.
The morning glory is a weed more
or less difficult to eradicate.
Red clover is the most common clo-
yer grown for agricultural purposes.
The extra haystack will do no harm,
and may be a splendid reserve supply
for next year.
A good pasture makes a trimming
milk pail; and silo makes possible
good winter pasture.
OF the making of roads there is no
end, and the last state of some OF
these is worse than the first.
Burr clover, or, as 1t is sometimes
called, California clover, is adapted to
low lands that are well drained.
The manure made in the stable dur
ing the summer months should be
piled and ~wellcoated with plaster.
Spade up the ground around the
shrubs and trees, leaving about two
feet Of cultivated land about zach
plant.
Good roads are more essential than
million dollar court houses; the one
benefits the masses. the other the
classes.
Many farmers every year lose a por-
ton of the value of their crops be-
cause they have not force enough to
SOW them in season.
Forty pounds of pure Kentucky blue
grass, five pounds OF solid redtop and
three pounds of white clover per acre
make a good lawn seed mixture.
People are deceived sometimes In
the length of time 1t takes to cool
a big al of milk set in the cellar.

Top-Dresslna Pastures.

Some proofs of the value Of basic
Stag on old pastures are given by
Professor w. P. Brooks of the Mas
sachusetts experiment station, who
has made extensive experiments
in pasture improvement. Professor
Brooks reports the results of appli-
cations of 500 pounds of basic Stag
meal and 300 pounds of low-grade
sulphate Of potash to land pastured
by mich cows.
He notes that the preference Of the
COWS for the forage on the treated
pasture plats resulted in their being
more closely grazed late into the
autumn than was favorable to their
best development. Nevertheless a
thick mat of clover appeared the fol-
lowing spring in place Of a dull, life
less, moss-infested tuft thickly
starred with duets.

HAT WELL WORTH COPYING
One Of the Best of Partisan Designs
Easily Within Reach Of the
Home MiIliner.

A very exclusive French shop shows
an unusual hat, imported recently
from Paris-one that most women who
are clever at doing fancy work and
love to trim their own hats can easily
copy.
1t was a large white chip picture
hat; the crown and brim were COW
cred with maize colored chiffon, ap-
piled by cutting a circular piece Of
chiffon about six inches larger than
the circumference of the hat, then
hemmed on the edge and a silk
covered wire run through the hem.
This wire was sewed on the under
brim, about a half inch back from
the edge.
The fullness Of chiffon was then
caught at irregular intervals on the
crown and brim, held in place with
small clusters of flowers crocheted
with bright-colored wooden yarn.
Some of them were tiny blossoms,
just five little shells crocheted around
a central point and joined to a few
small green leaves that had been cut
from dark green velvet.
The colors in the flowers were rich
reds, yellows, blues in varying shades,
but all having the mellow tinge of the
orient. Some were fashioned of gold
thread, but most of them we're wool.
On the left side, placed at the base of
the crown, was a cluster of large
crocheted flowers and leaves wired to
stand to the height of the crown,
while some of them rested well down
on the brim.
That was all, but the effect was
distinctive and altogether charming.
Well worth copying, If one has time
for such dainty work and loves I'M
usual things.-New York Press.

HOW MANY OF US

A KY. lady, speaking about food,
says: II was accustomed to eating
all kinds Of ordinary food until, for
some reason, Indigestion and nervous
pr~ostration set in.
after l had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity Of some change in my diet, and
l discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity Of rich cream.
"In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and /
began to have a strength that l had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and a poise of mind that
amazed me. 1t was entirely new in
my experience.
my former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural.
gic pains in the chest.
"Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast l have been free from these
troubles, except at times when / have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in qua
tity, then | would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless / needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when ]
finally got to know where these trou.
bles originated l returned to my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis
turbance left very quickly.

Pioue for Children.


This year is to be a pique year par
excellence for the small ones.
AS a matter of fact, the quantity of
little pique coats seems almost incred-
ible. Anything prettier than these
little garments it would be hard to
find. The freshness and crispness of
the pique has no rival even in linen,
and many of the coats and frocks are
adorned with a kind of pierced work,
so as to produce exactly the same
effect as broderie Anglaise. In other
cases they are simply made with turn
over collars worked in white fax
thread in sprays of daisies, periwin-
kles, or rosebuds, while big white
pearl buttons represent the almost in
evitable finish.

That One THING Lacking.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond Of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
ut vas the wedding day Of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having a
church wedding. 1t was a grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively in
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street, where a
great crowd greeted them with delight.
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, ina loud
whisper, Och, Pat, if we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't 1t have
been hivin?'"

AS A SWARM CATCHER
Material, Which Costs but Few Cents,
Consists of Cloth Bag, and
Piece of Wire.
(By f. q.

CBy F. @. HERMAN3
will describe how to make a
swarm catcher with which a swarm
of bees clustered 80 feet high can be
hived nearly as quickly and easily
as when near the ground.
1t requires only a short time to
make one. The material, which is
worth but a few cents, consists of a
large bag made from any kind of
stout, coarse cloth-such a sack as
bindfng-twine comes In Is excellent.
To hold the mouth Of this sack
open, a piece Of smooth wire as large
or a little larger than a telegraph-wire
Is used, which is bent in a circle with
the ends overlapping some inches, so
that they can be tied together with
a small wire or stout cord.
The mouth Of the sack is then Sc.
curely sewed around the wire hoop.
A crochet stick, the prongs of which
naturally Of their own accord stay as
far or a little farther apart than the
diameter Of the wire hoop, is used,
and with stout cord the end OF each
prong is tied to the wire hoop directly
opposite each other 80 that the sack
swings free.
Now the mouth Of the open sack
will always point upward, no matter
at what angle the pronged stick may
be held. The stick below the prongs
should be at least two feet long SO
the small end Of a light pole can
be attached to it by allowing the two
to overlap a couple Of feet, and bind
ing them together with short straps.
Different length poles can be used,
as they can be attached or detached
in an instant.
When a swarm Is clustered on q
small limb, the catcher can be raised

stance, when in good health, devours
two and a half times its WI weight
in the course of t~wenty-four hours,
while a pair Of blue birds have been
known to feed their young ATS times

meals were not very large ones, OF
course; a single grub was brought on
some occasions, and on others the
beak of the parent birds were stocked
with three or four small ones, but 1t

by this family of young ones alone
was between 1000 and 5000.
