Cleaning Fur*—Instead of Monograms. Unenviable Position of a Duchess—When Women First Voted for President—“Not at Home”—A Critic on Kissing. When Baby • vas sick, w® gave bee Castoria. When she was » Child, she cried for Castoria. «lhen she became Was, she clung to Castoria ITben BheliadCbIkUtn,aa«** T o‘*» in Castoria ‘Huggins China House” ia immense. i Under the heading, “Respect Shown Fair Voters,” the Memphis Commercial thus describes a significant scene that lately took place near that city: A novel spectacle which has heretofore escaped comment occurred at the recent election held in Fort Pickering. The election was for the purpose of deciding whether the town of New South Mem phis should be created. Under the law it was claimed that women who owned real estate in the territory out of which the proposed town was to be made were competent voters. Acting under the advice of a lawyer of Memphis, the judges of the election and the sheriff de cided to receive such votes. Shortly after the polls were opened two widows came up to the excited, howling crowd of men, and after learning that then right to vote had been conceded cast their ballots against the incorporation. As they walked up to where the votes were being received it was noticeable how instinctively and respectfully the men feU back and gave them the right of way. This was done by negroes and whites, by drunken and sober men, by toughs and gentlemen, and without any request or command from any one. Throughout the day there were as many as twenty-five votes cast by women in this election, and the same respect was shown every one of them as was shown the first two. Of the twenty-five two were negresses, one of these quite an elderly woman and the other young To each respectful way whs given, and though the election was one of the most exciting ever held in the county, though men were drinking and fighting about the polls and swearing and cursing, yet whenever a woman came forward there was an immediate hush and quiet. It was also noticeable that all the votes cast by these ladies were cast upon the economy side—that is, againsjt corpora tion and increased taxes. In the new town of >,fiarriman, Tenn., women have municipal suffrage. At the last election there the newspapers noted the fact that when the, ladies came up to vote the men receiVed, them with lifted hats, and even showed a disposition to cheer. Despite the mournful predictions of conservatives, the chivalry for which American men are famous does not Beem utterly to desert them upon the approach of a woman to a ballot box. SL# lying in a camphor chost for six months. Why. somo of this fur is so flattened that it actually looks as if it were moth eaten.” If a furrier has had charge of the furs during the summer they are all right now, for a dealer has every convenience for cleaning and keoping furs, but if the home mother has taken them into her own keeping she will no doubt be glad at this time to learn how her treasures may be renovated and made as “good as new.” Ermine and sealskin are best cleaned with soft flannel. Rub the fur delicately against the grain, and when it has been thoroughly lifted and reversed, so to ;pealc, dip the flannel into common flour md rub lightly any spots that look dark or dirty. Shake the fur well and rub with a clean, dry flannel until the flout is all removed. Sable, chinchilla, squirrel and monkey skin may be very nicely cleaned with hot bran. Get a small quantity of bran meal and heat it in the oven until it is quite warm. Rub stiffly into the fur and leave for a few minutes before shaking to free it from the bran. Miuk may he cleaned and freshened with warm commeal, and, like the other short haired furs, may be done without removing the lining. But the long haired furs are best ripped apart and freed from stuffing and lining.—New York World. Cleaning Furs. Notwithstanding the old idea that re ally good furs .will,wear forever, the owner of a nice sealskin jacket or a fine ermine cape cannot repress a sigh of dis appointment when she looks at her furs for the first time since their long summer seclusion.’ “It may be true,” sighs she, “that my furs wiU never wear out, but it is equally true that the? look vex? shabby after Instead of Monograms. Dorothy Maddox writes that mono grams are rapidly going out, for the bright ones of earth have hit upon a mode of marking their belongings, which is as dainty and chic as one could wish. Every girl has a birthday blossom. In selecting it her choice is of course con fined to the flowers which bloom in her natal month, any one of which she may claim as her own especial blossom. This becomes a comparatively easy task to the damsel whose birthday falls in the months when Flora reigns supreme. But the maiden fair who must adopt this pretty fashion under the sovereignty of King Frost is compelled to give the mat ter a good deal of consideration before making a decision. Once having chosen a floweret, how ever, she hastens to bring it into use in a dozen or more charming ways. The monogram is discarded from her hosiery, linen, etc., and its place is taken by the birthday blossom, which appears in the daintiest embroideries. The fancy, a taking one, is as decora tive as it is useful. Some girls have their birthday flower stamped upon their let ter paper, and this offers an opportunity for a great-many unique ideas. She who claims the violet orders a cluster of the tiny blooms to be placed in one comer of her violet tinted papetrie; the owner of the rose uses rosy hued paper as a background for her blossom, and so on. —Boston Globe. Saving Seed Com. It should be selected while husking, before severe freezing takes place. Corn intended for seed ought to be thoroughly dried and seasoned through and placed where it will not be exposed to moisture or extreme c.old. This is the best time of the year to change seed, if the kind you are growing is not suited to your locality. A change of soil is important (from heavy to light soils, and vice versa), hut not a change of climate, unless perhaps from a colder to a warmer. As a rule, save only such ears as are nearly true to type, well filled at tips and butts and fully matured. Always save the bast ear from stalks bearing two or more, when the ears are large and perfect; otherwise there is doubtful benefit in it, as like produces like often enough to demonstrate that one good, big, well filled ear on a stalk is better than two or three small, imperfect ones; besides so much depends on the methods of the grower. Where thin seeding is the practice, prolific habits are best. The more ears the better. Where much stover is allowed to grow, if the stalks will produce one good eat the grower should be satisfied. The old fashioned way of leaving a few husks on the ear and hanging up by them is a good, safe way. An enter prising Yanl }« has invented a wire ej r e screw to turn into the pith at the butts and then string on a small wire, then hanging them np. Any one can cut Bnort pieces of wire and bend into such form as will make them stay in the cob ! and hang up in same wav. — Ohio! Farmer. It is a great domestic remedy, and should be kept by every home. Mr. Norman Cheatham, Waverly, Sussex Co., Vs, who has never been without it for twelve years subscribes to this opinion. He savs: “Our family has been using Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup for twelve years and are never without it in the house. It is invaluable.” , Hard and soft Coal for sale at Lyn don’s. . Tlie Hole Disgusted. Dr. J. P. Stelle says in the Fort Worth Gazette that he has always been able to drive moles away from his garden by a very simple method, now to be described. Open small holes in the tunnels here and there and pour in a little cheap molasses. The molasses gums the fur of the animal, engenders disgust and causes it to trans fer its operations to more cleanly local ities. Coal tar would probably be better than molasses, though more expensive and less convenient. One good applica tion of the molasses has usually driven the moles away for the sedson. Remedy for Weevil in the Granary. Bisulphide of carbon—about one pound to a ton of grain—is the best and most convenient material for the purpose. As the liquid is exceedingly volatile it does not need a force pump for its applica tion, but may be simply placed in an open vessel on top of the grain in a tight granary. Exposure to the air removes all disagreeable odor, and no injury is done to .the grain.—Country Gentleman.

At the Rhode Island experiment sta tion a portion, of an old sheep fiaature was plowed and seeded with a mixture of timothy and redtop iu 1890. In the following winter and spring it was fer tilized with Canada ashes for the purpose of making a comparison between winter and spring applications of ashes to new ly seeded meadows, and to determine whether any loss would result from wasliiug while the ground was frozen. The soil is a light sandy loam, and the ashes were hauled directly from tbe car and spread from the cart upon the field when the ground was frozen and covered with four inches of snow. i The field is very level, and two plots of one-fifth acre each were selected and staked out side by side. Upon the west plot on Jan. 6 half a tou of ashes was spread upon the snow as evenly as possi ble, and a corresponding half ton of ashes placed in barrels in a dry store house for application to the east plot in the spring. The spring application was made April 10, the ground being free from frost, but soft from the spring rains,, and to prevent cutting up the field the ashes had to be applied by hand from baskets. ' The very dry weather of May and June shortened the crop materially, but the grass was cut June 10, and the weight of well cured hay upon the two plots determined as follows: West plot— Yield of field cured hay per acre from winter application, 1,906 pounds. East plot—Yield of / field cured hay per acre from spring application, 1,497 pounds, showing a gain of 409 pounds per acre, or 27 per cent., in favor of the winter application, to which can weU be added the economy of labor in doing the work while the ground is frozen and other work is not pressing. I Worthy of Note. Milk that is to be carried any distance before being set ought always tp be aerated—that is, aired and cooled dowr before starting. It will keep aweel longer aud retain its best flavor. Ax elevated strainer is a good aerator. Be careful, however, to do the aerating ins clean place, free fro n foul odors; aerate and then cool.
