TO THE SEASON.

Pretty Week— A Striking KvenlnS
Cartage.
Fashions change slowly after the height
of the summer season has been readied.
It to * long step still to winter attire and
furs, and it u* noticeable of late years that
the most fashionable cling longest to
rummer fabrics and stylos. The reason
ii that the opening of the social season in
the cities has been relegated to as late a
p riod as possible, and those in the social
swim prefer to linger as long as possible
rt the summer resorts, and to postpone
iiie wearing of heavier fabrics until they
return to their city homes.
Still, there are ra.*ny suggestions appro¬
priate to the “betwixt and between "
season so soon to be upon us. Large
white collars are becoming very fashion¬
able, and seem to have bean introduced
for the purpose of smartening up a dark
print or plain woolen dress.
They may be either
round or square, either
with or without a neck¬
band, but ti.sy must
always be iarye enough
to cover the shoulders
and reach to the seam
of the armhole. They
may lie made of cro¬
chet work, guipure em¬
broidery, or even of
fine lace; it, the latter
instance the collars can
be worn with elegant
toilets. The addition
of large cuffs, such as
were worn by both men
and women in former centuries, is a mat¬
ter now left to individual taste, without
any rule or restriction,
Here is a design for a homo made gown,
appropriate for weor during the early as
well as late fall, and that is particularly
designed to show off a pretty neck. A
health writer gives some interesting
potato as to the means of securing such a
neck. In the first
place don’t take off
l our corsets, but
(Kisen them. O t
course, they are not
tight now, and yon
could turn around in
them without un¬
fastening the clasps,
i but untie the locos
fi and let your long,
deep inhalations fix
their size for a little
while. Every night
and every morning
throw your hands
back unfit they strike
m ,.t* behind ten, 100 then times. you~at 20, 50, With lust and
'i your cheat held high
and your eyes on the frieze of tho room,
take 20 full breaths, inhaled slowly and
exhaled forcibly.
Turn your bead slowly around on the
trunk one way until you see a few con¬
stellations, and then give it a few turns
tho other way, all very slowly and care¬
fully, aud only a few time* hr tlie begin¬
ning. You have heard all this before,
but have you tried it? And If you did
try it how many nights ip the week did
you forget it, and how many mornings
were you toe late to spend time ? And
while you are working thus alwut your
neck your arms will have boon growing
plumper and fuller all tho time above tlie
elbows, and if you take a pair of 'dumb¬
bells and turn them sharply and vigor¬
ously iu your bands, the hands dow n at
the sides, eight times, the hands stretched
out at the side the same number of times,
•Might in front of you, over your bead
each eight times, you will know by the
aching muscles iu your forearm that you
have exercised them most decidedly. The
main i>oiut is always sustained rather
than erratic effort.
The illustration shows a striking new
evening corsage of fuille Francaise. de¬
scribed «r follows! “Close fitting body
with V shaped front with vest finished
with lane; the waist Une and neck are
trimmed with feath¬
er bauds, and a roll¬
ing collar of ostrich af?
feathers is set across
the back ; full sleeve
puffs of tlie silk with
waist trimming of J
folds of lace from the 5
armholes to ths tofl
waist line in front'
with loops and ends 4'
of ribbon. Two and
one quarter yards of
eiik required. Vel¬
vet bodices, trimmed
with fine gold passe¬
menterie, have vests beneath of gold dot¬
ted net or crepe do Chino, and a Medici
collar, also gold trimmed. Other half
open coinages have Russian chemisettes
<*f very rich lace, or they have full Mo!tore
1 routs fastened to a silk under bodice,
thus allowing the corsage to fail open at
each side of this vest. The edges of tho
bodice are ta.rdered with silk and gold
embroidery in points. Fashionable mod¬
istes are making dainty chemisettes of
cream white, pink, or blue surah, or l>a-
tiste, to lie worn with tlie open throated
toilettes they are finishing for summer
morning wear. They are made with
turn over collar, edged with Valenciennes
lace about two inches wide, and are in
fine tucks down the front with a ruffle
of tlie lace at tlie edge. Uudereleoves to
match have deep turnback cuffs finished
with the lace.
Note*.
A crownlass bonnet Bhows bows, hack
and front, and ties of piece velvet, with
four pink roses without foliage at the
back.
Poplin petticoats are a novelty, and
will no doubt prove successful, as they
are more serviceable than the ordinary
glace silk:

It b predicted that flowers will be worn
on bate until late in the winter, and that
piece bate velvet will be greatly wore a* entire
and bonnete, trimmings and ttea;
and certainly nothing can lie more uni¬
versally becoming or richer in appear-
anoo.
Suede, apricot, argentine gray, mign¬
onette, raspberry red, silver blue, also
soft tints shut with color are among the
driving or auet cio&xs ot ngm uuiaftu,
silk, worn in open Victorina and village
carte at the various summer resorts. A
coaching parasol and pretty French toque
are very frequently es suite.
For the fashionable parts of London
the long jackets and cream silk brocaded
waistcoats would seem to be the most
popular garment for general wear, and
hate grow larger as the months go by.
Waists have lengthened visibly and di¬
minished apparently in circumference,
but this effect is produced by the wide
revers at the neck.
Cloth grounds in dull check effects in
marine blue, bluish gray and bronze are
among the most salable stuffs for ulsters
for the fall. The dull, barely visible
checks are formed by very small stripes.
With a few tines skillfully arranged are
obtained effect* which have made these
goods great favorites. Large and small
checks are equally represented.
Fine lace and openwork effects are no¬
ticeable among the season's meet costly
and elegant garnitures, the embroidered
and silk applique trimmings, resembling
guipure and chanting in design, while
the iHiasomehtories which show thegown
through the pattern have a lace like ef¬
fect in keeping with light, beautiful fab¬
rics, which they decorate. The effective
fillet trimmings are again In fashionable
use, the graceful devices filled In with
lace stitchoe and twisted eiik braids.
Pretty and girlish dresses of crepon or
silk are finely plaited to a sharp point
front and back, with ths fullness carried
to the top, cut out round to show ths
arch of the throat to tho shoulders, and
simply finished with a standing frill of
luce. The trimming le merely gros grain
ribbon, two and one-half Inches wide,
twisted along the edge of the watet, and
knotted behind with loops and ends.
Shoulder knots are added of several loops
mossed together, and there are two bands
of ribbon around each sleeve, the one pushing
up the fulness at the top, other as a
wrist trimming, tied in a love knot bow
on tho outer arm.
HOME MATTER*.
flensonnbte Suggestion* unit Itverjrtnjr
Hint* to Practical Housekeeper*.
Nothing made with sugar, eggs, and
milk should roach the boiling point.
Tlie molasses to be used for ginger¬
bread to greatly improved by being first
boiled, then skimmed.
Do not salt beef before or while cook¬
ing, as it draws ©at the Jutee*, Which, in
boiling especially, are thereby lost.
It to a fact worth remembering that
persons aifflcte*) with acidity of the stom¬
ach should not Indulge Aire in oold drinks.
Blankets and out away well
sprinkled with borax ami done up air
tight will never be troubled with moths.
Onions should be soaked in suited warm
water previous to cooking to par tly re¬
move any strong odor they rpay possess.
A little sugar a ided to beets, corn,
squash, peas,etc.,during or after cooking
will improve them, particularly if poor.
Select tho meat of an old rather than a
young animal for soups. It Is more nu¬
tritious aud has a more pronounced
flavor.
Iu making custard, pumpkin, or lemon
pies it is better to partly bake the crust
before adding the mixture, so that It may
not be absorbed by the paste.
If a little cornstarch is put in the Halt
for the table it will keep it from lumping
and the pretty little shakers will not have
so hard a scolding iu damp weather.
The white of an egg, with a little water
mid sugar, to good for children who are
troubled with an Irritable stomach. It’
to very healing and will prove an excel¬
lent remedy for diarrhoea, «* well ns a
simple preventive for bowel disorders.
Macaroni should be used much more
than it to. It to a very good substitute
for potatoes when that vegetable to scarce
and high. Many physicians object seri¬
ously to the use of old potatoes after they
have begun to sprout, and on their own
tables use macaroni instead. Tho sim¬
ple ways of preparing this everybody
knows.

les.—A qua ammonia, two ounces; bay

They Are Boston Men.
A clerk in a garter manufacturing house,
in Boston says: “I was going to any. Butt
as many men ns women wear garters in
this city, but that statement would be
manifestly inaccurate. Still I think 1
can say truly that the use of the garter
among men to more general in Boston
than in any other city in the country.
A few years ago tho use of the garter
among men was confined quite exclu-,
sively to the swell yonug fellows about
town and to the dudes. But within the
last five years the use of the garter has
been very rapidly extended, and now the
leg circlet to quite as Indispensable a feat¬
ure of the toilet as th* cravat,
"Twenty years ago the garter was not
used by men at all, except in some few
exceptional instanoes. But the tailor
tells the young man ot fashion to-day
tliat his trousers will not hang well un¬
less he usee a garter, and the manufact¬
urers advertise to tlie effect that the ap¬
pearance of a man’s apparel depends a
great deal more on the dee of the garter
than does the appearance of a womans
drees. Unless a man’s stocking to smooth
and well held up the trousers are likely
to bag uud wrinkle, and trousers are im-
proved more by well fitting undercloth-
ing than by patent leg stretchers. ”

There is value in experiment.
Lo o to mutual understanding.
The reward of one duty done is the
power to fulfil another.
Magnanimity owes no account to pru¬
dence of ita motives.
General tidiness not only pays on its
own account, but because to be tidy is to
be economical.
If everybody knew what one said of
juiother, there would not be four friends
left in the world.
There probably never was a man so
good that he- did not hope in his heart
that his successor would be a failure.
To lie always intending to lead a new
life, but never to find time to set ataiut
it, is as if a man should put off eating
and drinking from one day to another,
till lie is starved and destroyed.
Some (teople scorn to be taught, others
are ashamed of it, as they would be of
going to school when they are old; hut
it is never too late to leam what it is al-
ways necessary to know. And it is no
shame to learn so long as we are ignorant
—that is to say, so long as we live.
Punishment is fruit that, unsuspected,
ripens within the flower of the pleasure
which concealed it. Cause and effect,
means and end, seed and fruit can not
be severed, for tho effect already blooms
in the cause, the end preexists in tho
means, the fruit in the seed.
Every individual owes obedience to
something, and there can be no oltedi-
eneo without authority. Indeed freedom,
rightly understood, imposes the most
solemn obligations of all. 'When no
human control binds a man, he is bound
w'ith tho greater stress to obey the rigid,
to bow to the authority of conscience,
to live up to his highest ideal.
Of no use are the men who study to
do exactly as was done before, who can
never understand that to-day is a new
day. Wo want men of original action,
who can open their eyes wider tluin to a
nationality, namely, to considerations of
iieneiit to the human race, ean act in the
interest of civilization; men of elastic,
men of moral mind, who can live in tho
moment and take a step forward.
There are things that could never grow
familiar. Daybreak is oner Tjjero is al¬
ways mystery about it. It is liko com¬
ing to life again after death. You have
been away you don’t know where, and
you come back again to the world, ami
when you find it as it is now, belonging
almost to yourself, all the other people
as No, good as out of it, it is very strange.
I am not afraid of becoming too
familiar with beautiful things.
There has been so much justly said
about the prejudicial effects of overwork,
especially in using up the powers of man
and cutting short his life, that it may he
hastily assumed by some that work itself
.Is opposed to length of days. This, how¬
ever, is a fatal mistake,. Whatever may
I*' proved concerning the comparative
tendencies of different employments to
shorten life, it will always be found that
s life of idleness will surpass them all.
The faculties of man, used and not
■liaised, serve not only to benefit the
world, but even more to bonofit himself.
His health, happiness, and length of life
depend largely upon the regular, steady,
and full—not excessive—employment of
his powers. He who neglects this law,
ami suffers them to run to waste, lead¬
ing an aimless and vacant life, will reap
the penalty quite as much in his own
inferior condition, physical and mental,
as in any external loss he may sustain,

A silo may be of boards, stone, or cem-
ent, and should be at least 12 feet deep.
It is estimated that a silo 12 feet square
is large enough for 25 cows. This may
vary, however, according to the kind ot
cows and how the ensilage is fed.
There is one advantage in giving the
compost heap attention, and that is the
destruction of the seeds of weeds by the
heating of the manure. Borne heaps are
not sufficiently subjected to the heating
process, especially when exposed to cold
rains and snows. If the manure is care¬
fully attended to, in order to secure the
decomposition of the manorial substances
therein, the, killing of the seeds of noxious
weeds will alone pay for any work- be¬
stowed on the heap.
Mutton sheep make a greater gain of
flesh than steers, according to experi¬
ments made. At the Wisconsin station
the food required to produce 100 pounds
of wether lamb was 384 pounds corn,
280 jKiunds corn silage, 158 pounds corn
fishier, and 22 pounos potatoes. To pro¬
duce 100 pounds on the steer required 804
pounds corn, 181 pounds bran, and 654
pounds silage. The results showed that
silage was also an excellent food for the
sheep as well as for the steer.
Economy in labor is more necessary
than in any other expenditure. Labor is
the most costly item of expense tliat the
farmer has to meet. It may not be to
his advantage to lessen the number of
persons employed as help, but the labor
should lx j properly applied. Systematic
management and performing the neces¬
sary work at the proper time and with¬
out delay will save waste of time and
give a profit from the labor itself. It is
labor that gives the value to ali the prod¬
ucts of the farm.
Even the bees make the quality of their
honey according to the kind of food or
flowers from which it in procured. Emi-
Bent authoritiee on bee culture state that
when been are fed scorched honey the
honey in the combs did not differ there¬
from. Tho same results occurred when
granulated honey was foil to the
bees. Honey can therefore be adulterated
in the combe. Glucose, when fed to bees,
to deposited in the combs as glucose, and
it has long been known that certain
flowers produced honey of a much su¬
perior quality to that derived from other
flowers.
A Hervteeeblr Meadow Smoother.
The man on the mowing machine din-
likes to jolt over the bogs, and to ruu a
mower on rough land soon spoils it.
Aside from this, to leave a meadow full
of bogs looks shiftless, and is poor farm¬
ing. Bog grass is fit for nothing but
bedding, while the clean meadow fescue.

grant and nutritious luty. Thorn who
have tried it know that it Is next to im¬
possible to dig or pull out the good sized
meadow taiga, and tho old, slow, labo¬
rious way of cutting them off with a bog
boo to an expensive process. Yet the
remedy to a cheap one, and lies useless in
many a barn. Take a worn out section
bar of a mowing machine holding the
knives that play in tlie cutting
bur, mortise it into the under side
of the wooden sled slice, or other¬
wise attach it to the sled runner, so
that it will slide on the ground at a slight
angle, as seen in the sketch. Some fine
day, when the meadow is cleared of hay,
hitch on to the sled and see how neatly
anil speedily it will slice oft the bog tope,
It is a success and a conqueror. Put on
a box, and let one man follow tho planer
sled with a fork and pitch on every hog
ns fast as it to cut off. Dried they make
a hot fire, and should be saved for fuel
for the kitchen fire during the warm
weather.
Give Sheep Range,
Sheep should bo kept in dry sheds;
they don’t liko to be too closely confined.
There should lie a yard that they can ho
turned into when it to pleasant weather,
but they should be well housed from all
storms. Farmers moke a great mistake
in not housing their stock in tho fall of
the year, and no stock suffers more by
lining exposed to those oold rains than
the,sheep; some years (for Instance tho
l:wt) with tho best of care they will die,
and no one can tell why. Sheep also
like a change of feed; they liko to pick
the leaves from tlie brier as well in the
winter as in tlie summer.
Advantage* of Good Stock.
Our natives should bo more rapidly re¬
placed by full blood and high gradestock.
The advantages to be gained can not be
hotter shown than by a comparison of tho
results obtained In good dairies with those
secured in our large creameries. There
are several private dairies in Connecticut
that give an annual cfrtv, butter product of
over 300 pounds per The averago

stranger meeting this royal personag
upon the street would recognize in her
the nobility which she rightfully claims.
Blie wean* no crown, unless a tangled
li mss of half gray, half black hair, covered
by a red bandanna handkerchief, can be
construed to ixmstitute one; her robe of
purple is an old red shawl; her queenly
skirts are made of no richer material
tlmns alico, and when she revels in the
luxury of shoes, which is not often, they
tire as unlike tlie traditional royal foot¬
gear as two old, water soaked, musty,
dusty piece* of hard leather are unlike
the finest pair of shoes ever turned out.
Princess Angelina, the daughter of the
Indian chief Seattle, for whom this city
was named, is one of the most familiar
sights and at the same time one of tho
most interesting to be seen in Seattle at
the present time.
h When George Francis Train was going
to start around the world for Tacoma a
purse of several thousand dollars was
raised to seud Angeilne with him, as a
counter advertisement for Seattle. A
delegation visited her to propose tho
scheme. To their surprise, however, site
refused to go, saying that her father
would lie so mad at her running off with
a crazy man that he would turn over in
his grave. So slie stayed at home.
Many years ago Chief Seattle, her
father, was the head of a tribe number¬
ing many people, probably 600 to 700, in¬
cluding women and children. The old
chief was very friendly to the whites
who came to Alki Point in 1852, and
within a few years there came a time
when ids friendship stood the pioneers in
good stead. War broke out among the

Indians, and for a while the Bottlers had
to look sharp to the safety of their fam¬
ilies and themselves as they went about
their work in the thick forests. Pat
Kanim and Seattle, two chiefs, who, un¬
like the savage leaders of other tribes, re¬
fused to slaughter the whites, were al¬
ways held in high esteem by the early
settlers. To Dr. Maynard, many years
dead, is ascribed the act of naming tho
city after Chief Beattie, and Mrs, Dr.
Maynard, according to Angeline, has the
credit for naming the princess herself.
So great was the respect in which Chief
Seattle was held that last fall a fine
monument was erected over tlie old In¬
dian’s grave at Port Madison. The in¬
scription on this monument gave the
name of the dead chief as “Sealth," which
more nearly resembles the name ns pro¬
nounced by the Indians.

There to time enough to do many
things, if the person to seriously concen¬
trated in his work, and does not squan¬
der his mind and his time by hard work.
Nothing to so bad as that. There are
many persons who think they are work¬
ing, when in truth they are only dawd¬
ling over their work with half attention.
There to time enough thrown away every
day to enable any one of earnest mind to
do more than many a man does with lito
whole day.
It to good for us to commemorate this
homespun past of ours; good in these
days of reckless prosperity, to remind
ourselves how poor our fathers were, and
that we celebrate them because for them¬
selves and their children they chose wis¬
dom and understanding and the things
that are of God, rather than any other
riches.
Intellectual possessions, valuable as
they are, can not of themselves refine
their owner. If he has in his heart tho
alloy of selfishness or ingratitude, or self
conceit, or contempt for those less learned
than himself, he lacks true refinement in
spite of all his knowledge.
When you make a mistake don’t look
back at it long. Take the reason of tho
thing into your own mind, and then look
forward. Mistakesare lessons of wisdom.
The past can not be changed; the future
is yet in your power.
