A DAINTY JEWEL CASK.
Hero is a jewel case, dainty enough
snd pretty enough for Queen Titania
herself. And this is the way it is made:
Take a piece of white kid twelve by live
inches and hem the four edges with yel¬
low embroidery silk. Make a small bag
of yellow surah silk and stitch :t on the
kid vciy firmly. There must be a nar¬
row yellow.cord in the top of the bag so
that it can' be ilrawn tightly together
and fastened securely. Over this it
painted on the white kid in letters of
gold the legend: “For rings and things.”
Under the bag there is a yellow cushion.
This is very flat; in fact, it cau scarcely
be called a cushion at all, but it will be
found a most useful article, as on it are
put all the'tick pins and fancy pins so
dssr to the feminine heart. And last
there is a larger silk bag. This can hold
bangles and all large pieces of .jewelry.
Sometimes a piece of chamois skin, some
jewelry soap and a small brush are kept
in this bag. Cut another piece of kid
the same size as the first. On this paint
either goldeu rod or daffodils. The two
parts are stitched together with fine yel¬
low silk. This little jewel case can be
rolled up so as to occupy very little
space in a grip or trunk, and when
opened it makes a pretty toilet accessory.

FASHION NOTES.
Grenadine is the most popular material
for the ladies’ cravat.
. Fan-shaped skirts of hair cloth give
n very graceful swing to the fashionable
gown.
‘ Gloria, a domestic silk used for some
time iu umbrellas, is being brought for¬
ward for dresses.
A quaint conception is a scarfpin
fashioned as a dumbbell, with a diamond
sunk into each end.
Mother-of-pearl buttons, half as large
(? the moon, are much used. They are
questiouable taste. - - .
Real pretty are the wash dresses of
adras and cheviot, white and blue or
white and gray stripes, made plain bell
skirt, shirt waist and belt.
Real lace is beyond all manner of
doubt coming in again, much to the joy
of the woman who, more than all else,
desires her dress to be ladylike.
Ribbons in pale shrimp shades pow¬
dered with pale brocaded flowers are in
high favor. Pale silk chemisettes are
dividing favor with the more masculine
shirts.
Delicate sleeves of mousseline de sole
and other like tissues are kept in an up
right position by the use of a small
spring, which is sold for this especial
purpose.
Silk cord and button are greatly used
on tail >r made suits for decoration, and,
to save labor, silk cord button holes at¬
tached to silk buttons can be bought in
any of the principal stores.

for linings, underdresses, and foundation
skirts, the combination of silk with other
fabrics, and the revival of the all-silk
gowns, have created a demand for silks
which promis ‘3 to increase rather thaa
diminish.
Gauze embroidered with cut cut steel is
made use of on the firest afternoon
reception dresses. When sewed tightly
and smoothly about the hips it gives an
exceedingly graceful, symmetrical ap¬
pearance to the form nud brings out all
the subtle, willowy movements of the
wearer when walking.
Princess dresses are coming in again,
and the faultlessly formed, graceful
woman will rejoice. A beautiful dress
recently finished in the universally popu¬ ,
lar gray and yellow, was a gray benga
line, bordered with straight rows of gold
braid, and having a bertha and full
puffed sleeves of yellow crepoa.
Every well dressed society woman car¬
ries a silken purse now. One of the
daintiest models is mule of gray flue,
silken floss, crocheted in slip stitch.
Thc beads are strung on gold wire and
ornamentcl with emeralds. On ihe in¬

TOPICS OF INTKREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND CARDEN.
•THE MISSION OF WEEDS.
Weeds are better than nothing, says
Rural Life. In waging our war of ex¬
termination we forget this fact. Were
it not for weeds we should doubtless
grow indolent in care of crops. They
spring up of their own accord and irri¬
tate us with their persistence. We
should not allow such feelings. Wee.ts
have their uses. Nature abhors a bleak
expanse of bare soil and properly sends
weeds to cover the nakedness. Grass is
the “benediction of nature.” When
man ruthlessly destroys grass nature
pauses a brief period and tiieu gathers
herself for action and covers the ground
with weeds. Why is this? It is because
valuable food materials-are all through
tho growing seas ,n being showered from
•the clouds, washed aown and absorbed
from the atmosphere, elaborated by won¬
derful alchemy in the soil, and this Store
of nutriment will leach out and be lost
if no living roots- are iu- the soil to seize
and hold it. For this purpose are weeds
sent. AVhen we kill weeds we should
have a crop ready to gather up the nu¬
triment. When the crop is removed,
plowing or cultivating at once, so rank
vegetation will spring-tip, saves the fer¬
tility of the soil as elaborated. Weeds
in the corn field or potato patch will not
do, because they take up the nutriment
before the corn or potatoes can get it.
They do not exhaust the soil. They save
soil fertility. While a crop is growing
weeds cannot be tolerated, for * tlie ’crop
needs the nourishment. They are crop
robbers, but not soil robbers; rather
may they‘.be called soli restorers.
POULTRY PICKINGS,
Raw meat in moderation, chopped
fine and fed about thrice a week will
stimulate egg production. One pound
of meat is sufficient for fifteen hens.
Some cook it, but raw meat is. by far
better.
Don’t permit the water from the ma¬
nure to drainaitider your poultry house;
if you do you will be sure to regret it.
Dampness of any kind is not tolerated
with a healthy flock of fowls.
For any one wanting a white fowl of
laying qualities the White Mi
norcu will be sure to please. Like the
White Leghorn they have their separate
&&aTU:s 4tnd the qualities of each are
„ ore Fowls'are nr less distinet'
fond of milk,
Sour milk is considered the best, and
brings on laying if given them daily
summer and winter. Many the'pigs fanciers have
a surplus try of milk, and get all of
it. dividing a portion, and let the
hens in on the quiet; they will soon
show whether it benefits their general
health.
All farmers should keep pure-bred
poultry; there is no economy or profit in
common barn-vard stock. They eat no
more, and certainly a thinking farmer
prefers the blooded fowl, and will keep
it and do other. A good farm naturally
demands good stock; certainly they are
in harmony with each other.
Turkeys now have the call, and will
be largely marketed from now on. The
States of Rhode Island and Connecticut
produce most of our large turkeys. Tl\e
New York, Boston, and Philadelphia
markets absorb the hulk of the birds
sold. Jinny farmers in these two States
raise from one hundred to twelve hua
dred turkeys each, every season, and
find them among the most profitable
of farm fowls.
Corn is best for au evening feed. It
may be given in conjunction with other
grain, but in cool weather nothing keeps
up a more unifoim body heat than corn.
Thc grinding capacity of a heu’s stom¬
ach is great, and before morning arrives
her meal of the previous evening has
disappeared, and something to take and its
place is necessary. Corn lasts longer grain
produces more heat than any other
fed to poultry.
Many poultry breeders place eggs with
thc farmers near at hand, allowing
so many chicks ou: of every setting
hatched and reared. Iu this way several
hundred eggs are set, and by late spring
the farmer has a large flock of growing
chicks aside from what he attends to him
self. There is a saving of both labor
and time in pursuing this plan. It is a
move worth trying by those who aim at
rearing large flocks of chicks.
I do not recommend artificially heated
poultry houses, but advocate good, dry,
tight buildings, free from cracks or air
holes. Cracks tend to keep a house
cold, and result is more or less roup and
sickness generally. Unless one is ruis
ing chickens by artificial means and
brooding them by heat; it is best to
keep them comfortable with plenty of
good straw under foot, and a perfectly
tight house, with ventilation to take
away all l ad odors. Ventilate moderately
at ail times.
The incubator should be started in late
autumn and kept running continually
until thc firs: month of summer. There
is not much profit iu chicks hatehel
later. By the time June chicks are
hatched and ready for market it is
flooded with them from every section.
During early spring is when the proSt is
obtained. Chicks sell for §1.50 per
pair then, and they cost about thirty*
five cents to raise to a marketable size.
One can hardly see the profit at a glance.
An incubator handled properly should
pay, handsomely. Try it.— American
Agriculturist.
farm and garden notes.
Packing in salt and storing in a cool
place is the cheapest way of storing away
eggs to keep.
While care should al .vays be taken in
giving salt, as a rtiie it will be found a
good plan to salt all soft feed.
Make it a rule during the next two
months to keep the eating troughs or
boards and the driuking vessels clean.
Turnips or potatoes cooked with bnn
makes a good feed for the laying hens,
and they can lie fed all they will eat.
Because the poultry run after you whea
you go in the yard is no indication that
they need feeding. Habit is »Uea the
real reason.

Hot Weather Suggestions.
At the opening of the heated term a
few good resolutions should bt made.
Among the flyst should be one to culti¬
vate conduces tranquillity of mind. body. Nothing more hot
to comfort of In
weather a fiery argument is almost as
productive is of ii raised physical the tempera¬ blazing
ture as a brisk walk in
sun. dissipated, Moreover, its effects are less read¬
ily and for it is easier to sit down
get cool after bodily exertion than
it is to subdue the perturbed mind that
it will not cause a series of “hot flushes”
for possibly hours after a vehement dis¬
cussion.
The same rule that applies to undue
exercise of the tongue and temper should
be observed in intellectual pursuits con¬
ducted in the dog-days. Do not attempt
to shirk steady work in this line; but let
all you do be done methodically, not
spasmodically. Adherence to the Ger¬
man motto, “Without haste, without
rest,” relentless as it seems, is really less
wearying than a series of violent efforts
lieved resulting in a fatigue which can be re¬
only by gjjb^-repose. attitude
So much for the mental in hot
weather. The bodily condition is of
equal think importance. th^f Many people seem to
ease in summer can only be
obtained by laziness, that employment
of any sort is the mortal enemy of bien
etre, and so devote the whole of the long
days to what is expressively termed
the “loafing.” What wonder and if that for them
hail weeks the drag drearily, shortened days they and
return of
frosty nights as a release from ennui.
There is no better way to keep cool
than to have some regular occupation,
be it never so trivial, that will serve to
divert the miud from the bodily con¬
dition. No matter what this employment
may be, whether the charge of certain
branches of house-work, the doing of
the family mending, the conducting of
a language course of reading, the studying of is, a
or a science—whatever it

which other cities pay larue sums annu¬

The Weight of Money.
Do you know how many $1 bills it
takes to weigh as mnch as a $20 gold
piece? Driving out to While Bear re¬
cently one of those walking compendiums
of useful information sprung the above
query and the opinions that it elicited
show a remarkable range. One member
of the party, whose business it is to han¬
dle money in large sums, after profound
thought, suggested that the number
would be from. 1,000 to 1,200. Others
guessed down the line to 500, but
no one less than that number. After all
had placed themselves on record, the
compendium stated that it was thirty to
thirty-ono, according to their condition
as to dirtiness and age. He could just as
well have based his calculations on $10
bills, but the man who was giving them
a weigh preferred to make the test with
a smaller denomination. ~[8t. Paul
