HORTirrijTURE FOB WOMEN.

A horticultural college for

TIIE WHITE PIQUE PELISSE.
Now is tho period when the white

and, by tho way, wo have borrowed
this fashion from our babios. Pique
is obtaining among ns, but, bo it
nnderstoo 1, it is generally pique glori¬
fied with black satin ribbons and
chiffon vests. Candidly, I confess it
is a material that please mo but little ;
it i-i too stiff, yet I think it may be
uuod most successfully to form facings
to drill gowns, and it may be relied
upon to make very smart little coats
to be worn over serge skirts for yacht¬
ing ; theso looking their best, perhaps,
when adorned with gold buttons.
With serge skirts, too, coats of colored
linen have an excellent effect, A
cornflower-blue serge skirt and a
hoi l ul l coat, although it perhaps
suggests tho undress costume of a
page, may bo very successfully worn
with a black skirt and a black tie, and
crowned by a Panama hat trimmed
with black taffeta ribbon.—Now York

A WOMAN CARPENTER.
The progrossivo women of the times
are striving not only for political
power, but for admission into the
medical, legal and clerical profes¬
sions. Very few of them, however,
are desirous of earning a livelihood as
ordinary mechanics. It is interesting,
therefore, to lear* from the Philadel¬
phia Carpenter that a lively young
Danish woman, Miss Sophio Christen¬
sen, is anxious to get work in Chicago
as a carpenter and joiner. In the city
of Copenhagen she learned her trade,
to which she was bound as an appren
tice. When her apprenticeship was
completed, a short time ago, she was
admitted to full membership in the
union. She displayed great aptitude
and skill as a worker at tho trade, and
she is ready to display specimens of
her handicraft. Among other things
she has made a “self-closing book¬
case” which is serviceable, artistic,
and beautiful, and which is admired
by everybody who sees it. She is but
twenty-six years old, aud she expects
to get a good job in Chicago as soon
as the trade brightens up.—New Y r ork
Sun.
WOMEN AND OLD AGE.
With all the twaddle about tlio in¬
feriority of women, statistics show
that they live longer than men.
Their freedom from tho tobacco and
liquor habits probably has much to
do with this, as tho .constitutions of
many men aro more or less enfeebled
in their earlier years by their indul¬
gence in theso habits. There are
several well-authenticated cases where
women have lived in comparative
health long past their one hundredth
year. One woman lived to be one
hundred and forty years old, another
one hundred and forty-five; and this
one died not from natural causes but
accident. A French woman lived to
bo one hundred aud fifty years old,
aud although she became little more
than a living skeleton, she had her
meutnl , faculties to the last. It may
be questioned whether nature has not
given woman far greater powers of
reaction and endurance than have
been bestowed upon men. Not en
durance us far os brute force goes, but
that quality that enables them to
withstand the wear and tear of daily
life and rise superior to the lesser ills
of existence.—New York Lodger.
WOMAN AND POVERTY.
It is hard to the woman of small
means and luxurious tastes to keep
withiu her income and abreast with
the times, but a little sound sense iu
tho way of finding out short cuts to
economy will work wonders.
The woman who has learned to
make a good b appearance 11 upon p next to
uothms . becomes object , . of . to .
an envy
her less fortunate ststers Is is large
lv aqiiestion of investigation, of watch
,r.e soles, of shopping properly, of
making >1 buy el worth of goods.
And only that severe teacher-expen
enee—will teach all this. A woman
can be dignified even if she is poor,
nor should she feel that because pov¬
erty has flung its sombie cloak about
Ik f she should draw its folds still
closer aud hide herself from the pure
sunshine of the world or the kindlv
*
friendship of her friends.
Too many women are inclined when
poor to with Ir.iw into a shell, 6uail
fashion, and become crabbed aud
poverty spoiled. Poverty is not the
greatest of crimes, as many suppose.
There aro lots of things worse than
that, and wealth is not the alpha and
omega of happiness.
The woman of fine nature will ac
cept this fact gracefully and by her
example help many a disheartened
woman to look ou the bright side of
life, to look her finances squarely iu
the face and avoid laying out her
monev 1 uun 'ceisary expenditure,
By a bit of forethough a small sum of
money can work wonders, as the ac
live, fiu$*&atnr«d woman who has
learned it all well knows.—New York

admitted that, finding his Pnncli

account for this. The best lady play¬
ers are, as a rule, only of average or
less than average height. It certainly
is not riding or dancing, for these
have always been an English girl’s ac
complishments. One explanation given
is very carious. Calisthenics—not
mild blackboard or tho dancing mas
ter, but the gymnasium and the trapeze
—have come into fashion, aud what
Mr. Pinero thought that he invented in
the “Amazons” turns out to bo a fact,
Girls are taught to stretch their nun
cles, and it really seems as if tueir

FASHION’ NOTES.
Lily white and ecru, and cream
color and snow white are used togeth¬
er again.
The summer dust cloaks are made
of stiiped taffeta, mohair, shot silk
and serge.
Tinted tulle makes a cool and beau¬
tiful lining for an openwork lace-straw
bonnet or hat.
Very handsome are tho* silk-em¬
broidered nun’s veiling toilets trimmed
with ecru lace in rich Venetian gui¬
pure designs.
Yellow and white are a favorito
combination for this season, super¬
seding in popularity tho always cool
looking green and white effects.
Talc apple green and softest prim¬
rose yellow is a favorite combination
this season, also lovely tiuts in rose or
pale pink in combination with deep
cream or pale apricot.
The new silk ginghams are very
pretty and popular, and have little
except name in common with the
stout, homely materials usually asso¬
ciated with the fabric name.
A yellow crepe de chine, with broad
bands of black lace around tho skirt
and a black lace corselet, cut low, with
black lace sleeves, is one of the pretty
garments just finished for a fail
matron.
While there is a similarity in pre¬
vailing styles of dressing tho hair at
present, yet it is safe to say that every
woman is a law unto herself in this
matter ; and while some aim to bo ec¬
centric, others, happily the majority,
endeavor to choose the most becoming
style.
The seams in the skirt of cloth ox
serge gowns are stitched once or twice
ou each side, making two or four rows
of stitching, or if ladies’ cloth is used
a band of cloth, an inch wide, is
stitched over the seams. On black
moire skirts overlapping jet sequins
ate used in place of stitching.
The girl who prides herself upon
style seldom wears any but dark or
subdued colors in tho street. If sue
has a bit of brightness on lier hat it is
apt to be tucked away under the brim.
But for house wear even the stylish
young woman may revel in bright
hues and thereby make herself a pleas¬
ing object to those about her.
Gay girls and tailor made women
have the shirt, craze, The last straw
is a colored English percale in rose,
pink, blue, custard or lilac with white
dots, rings or disks, link hole cuff's and
collar bands; with them a standing or
turned down collar of white linen is
worn. The shirts are made by a reg
ular shirtmaker and so are the collars.
Both modistes and milliners have
combined m great earnest for ribbon
trimmings for the decoration of their
own gowns and millinery for tho
spring season. They make use of
watered aud plain satin ribbons, Per¬
sian effects on grounds of black, dark
green, phlox red and amber, of velvet
ribbons with satin or linen back or
others.
Transparent materials will be very

AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTKRRST RKDATIVE
1U FARM AND GARDEN.
HEATING OK HAT IN THE BARN.
Hay frequently heats in the mow or
stack from the careless habit of taking
up the bottoms of the bay cocks with
tiic r* st uf the hax. Ihi& part of the
hay takes moisture from the ground
■mfficieiilly to htart tne heating, which
quick;\ ejjreatls through the mass,
To avoid this the bottoms should be
!- ft on the ground and spread so that
the my may dry, which it will ao m
an hour, and may then be taken up
u itn the aitcr loads. It is a good
p.an to scatter one pound of sa,t on
each load as it is put m the mow or
the stac.i. liiis gn ati_x tends to pre
y.-nt the heating by moderating■the
fermentation of the new hay.—New
York Times.
BT7SH VERSUS TOLE LIMAS.
The dwarf or bush Lima beans can
now be purchased at such a reasonable
price that cultivators should be able
the present season to determine their
relative value for market purposes,
\Yo have heard several gardeners in
charge of private places express it as
their opinion that the pole Lima
would soon be a “bean of the past,”
but we are not yet convinced that they
will disappear from the grounds of
those who raise beans for market, for
long-established practices and habits
are not reali'y obliterated or
abolished. But every one who has
a garden should try the bush Limas
and endeavor to determine their rela¬
tive value with the pole varieties.—
American Agriculturist.
USE OK GRAIN CHAFF.
Without doubt the cultivated grains
o*.v.‘ their preservation from entire
destruclien to the ehaft in which they
are enclosed. Now man takes care of
the seed grain it would seem that the
chaff is, less necessary. But it serves
a purpose in keeping the grain from
drying too rapidly, and thus germinat¬
ing before its time or from becoming
too wet and rotting. When damp
grain is put in the mow or stack the
more chaffy it is the less likely it is to
injury. Two or three years ago,
while a neighbor was threshing- some
oats that had been stacked too green,
we saw a curious sight. The oats were
bound by the harvesting machine.
Where each band passed around the
bundle, the straw was rotted through¬
out. It would be supposed that the
oats would be injured, either by
sprouting or by rotting. But the
chaff had kept the grain sound, and it
was not even stained by the mass of
moisture surrounding it. These same
oats when threshed and divested of
their chaff had to be shovelled once
each day for a week or more to pre¬
vent them from heating.—Boston
Cultivator.
NAIL IN HORSE’S FOOT.
Any kind of punctured wound re
quires special treatment, because
healing of any wound must begin at
the bottom of it, and if otherwise the
diseased matter in the v'ound will be¬
come inclosed in it, and must break
out in time in some way or another.
I bus, an incompletely healed wound
will in time become an abscess that
may give much trouble, especially in
the foot, which, being enclosed in its
horny covering, affords no escape for
the pus formed, and this burrows
among the tissues, forming a fistula,
or spreading so that the bones of the
foot become diseased and the horse is
ruined. The first thing to be done is
to remove the nail, if it or a Dart of it
remains in the loot, then to enlarge
the opening and reach the bottom, in¬
jecting some active liniment or other
stimulant, and keeping the opening
free for the escape of pus until the
healing advances to the surface, when
a simple protection to the sore will be
sufficient until the healing is corn
pleted. Care is to be exercised to
keep the wound clean by frequent in¬
jections of warm water with a few
drops of carbolic acid in It, and if the
foot is inflamed, poultices are to be
used. The entrance of sand or grit
into the wound is to be strictly
avoided.—National Stockman.
PACKING BUTTER IN SMALL DAIRIES.
Creamery butter has an advantage
of uniformity over that produced iu
small private dairies. The dairy
churning is large, the cream has been
ripened ail together uniformly \ the
churning is all made at one time, and
hence the entire butter product for
that day is of uniform flavor, texture
and color. A tub can be filled at one
time, and the merchant who buys or
sells it will find the butter exactly the
same in quality from top to bottom
of the tub.
In the small private dairy every
churning, of course, is of even quality
of product, but one day’s product is
sometimes not large enough to fill a
tub; and hence the different days’
churnings required to complete the
filling are likely to show some
erence M K£ l A
grade evenly in the tub, and this lack
of uniformity results in a lower price.
In reality, the butter from the small
dairy may be as good, fresh, and pos
sibly a better article than the other,
but this lack of uniformity detracts
from its marketable value where but
ter is graded by experts.
Butter from these small dairies
should be sold in prints of one pound
each. If a cream separator is used in
the small private dairy, and the cream
ripened day by day at* the same tem
peratnre, the butter is likely to be of
a more uniform quality, and will grade
uniformly, the same as the creamery
article; but as a rule, comparatively
few small dairies use the separator,
The farm butter may be sold to ad
’Vantage in small packages of from one
to five pounds.—American Agricnl
turist.
THE BEAUTIFUL IN FARM LIFE.
There is some danger that
will become so intent on making
lands pay a money return that
will lose sight of much that is
iul in country life, writes Edgar L.
Vincent. It is not all of life to
be able to say at the end of each year
that tnere is a good margin on the
right side of the farm account.
ie all right, of court®; we are on tho
farm as a business, We ought to do
our best to make it pay. But it will
not do to make money the sole object
of om \ &hoT _ This'is especially true
if we have children. To bend every
energy from daylight td dark; from
week’s end to week’s end and from one
year’s beginning to the other, to the
getting of money, is demoralizing to
^ b e farmer, to his wife and doubly so
to his cb ihi re n. Life’s beginning* is a
most important era. If to the voung
it be clouded by tbe gloom of a home
^vtiere the only -object in living is to
g e ^ monev, the shadow rarely ever
HftSi Tbe whole life will be tinged
w j tb ^ be inemor y 0 f those earlier davs
on ^ be f drru>
I believe that is one great reason
wbv so many leave tho farm. Their __
i iveB itl tbe old home were a cease i es9
grin(1) UDre li e ved by anything which
touched the tenderer side of nature,
What, then, should we do to remedy
this' 1 Make home as beautiful as
possible. Suppose the house is old
and you are not able to build another.
Beautify it as much as you can. Set
out trees around it, clear away weeds,
tumble down fences aud all unsightly
objects. Let grass grow fresh and
green all about it. Plant flowers in
pleasant places. And so all over the
farm. It will cost only a little time
to make it beautiful. Inside make the
house home-like. A few books and pa
pers; music if you can afford it; at
eventide let there be an ingathering
of all the children, Read aloud to
them and have them read also. Be one
of them and have a share in all that
interests them. Study nature with
them.
How many know the names and
habits of the birds which flit about in
summer? Who of us can tell the
names of the flowers which spring up
everywhere on the farm? This may
seem to some farmers all “nonsense.”
From such n decision I must earnestly
appeal. The little lives intrusted to us
are the most precious of all God’s
gifts to us. It lies in our power to
thwart them or help them unfold aud
reach heights of success we ourselves
may never attain. We have no right
to entail upon our children the heri¬
tage which many parents do when
they teach them to hate farm life.
There is no place on earth which is
nearer to nature’s heart than the
farm. We ought to love it and teach
our children to love it, too. Farm
life pays if it leads him who follows it
one step higher than he was at first.
No matter whether we die rich iu
money or not if at the last our friends
can says of us that we loved nature and
nature’s God, and pointed the way up
to them.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A big farm uncultivated is like a
big statute-book with the laws but
half enforced.
Orchards may at first be planted
closely, but in a few years every other
tree should be removed.
Bowel troubles often result from
colts being allowed to suckle when the
mares are heated from work.
Horses are cheap, but that is nc
good reason for keeping yourself poor
in supporting more of them than you
need.
T. D. Curtis, in Western Plowman,
says: Decide on your line of dairying,
if not already decided—butter, cheese
or milk for market.
If you choose cheese makingormilk
for market, see that the butter is in
small globules, so that it will not
readily separate from the milk.
Stick to the line of dairying and the
breed of ccav which you begin with,
keeping the blood pure. Mixing
breeds promiscuously works badly.
Be sure to select a male that is from
a better family in your lino of dairy¬

Mares in foal should be worked with
great judgment. Steady, light work
is an advantage to them, but heavy
work should be done by other horses.
If you choose butter making, see
that your cows give milk rich in but¬
ter fat, and that the fat is in large
globules, so that it will readily sepa¬
rate from the milk.
The cow that must graze industri¬
ously half of the summer to recover
physically what she has lost by indif¬
ferent keeping through the winter is
not apt to earn a dollar in real profit
for her owner.
A little vaseline to which a few
drops of carbolic acid has been added
rubbed under the jaws of a horse will
do much towards keeping away those
big buzzing flies that keep him toss¬
ing his head continually.
Outside of liniments for sprains, the
less medicine there is around a stable

on proper food and surroundings, and

Plionautograph.
This instrument, according to tho
Chicago Evening Post, performs all
the functions of the human “typewri¬
ter” except to chew gum and entertain
young gentlemen callers during tho
business hours. It is claimed to bo a
new invention that business men can
dictate letters into one end and pull
them out of the other end ready for
the post. It does not yet appear to bo
perfected,as it adheres to tho phonetic
system of spelling and outrages Web¬
ster in no uncertain degree; and, like
many of its human competitors, its
capitalization and punctuating are ex¬
asperating. Yet, the inventor claims
that all these defects will be remedied.
It is not yet on the market, but is said
to resemble a cash register in appear¬
ance. It is actuated by electricity—
you simply press the button, talk into
the cylinder and the plionautograph
does the rest.”
The rubber rings of fruit cans will
