SUNDAY MORNING. Valuable .Tewele Seldom W.rn. A jeweler says that valuable family jewels are almost never worn by their owners; they are kept in safe deposit vaults and are not used more than half a dozen times in half a century. Ladies have them copied and always appear wearing the imitation jewels, which look quite as well. "Why," he added, "a lady would no: dare? to ap pear always in the valuable gems she is known to possess; she would bo robbed and perhaps murdered for them." Repairing a Markintoali, To mend a mackintosh procure a small tin of India rubber cement or dissolve some strips of pure india rubber in naphtha or sulphide of car bon to form a stiff paste. Apply a little of the cement on the surface of a strip of the same material of which the mackintosh is made, which can be purchased by the yard or in remnants from the waterproofers; also apply a little cement to each side of the torn part, and when it begins to feel tacky bring the edges together and place the Patch nicely over and keep in position by putting a weight over it until quite hard, which will be in a few’ days. 1 l Rich Man'* Wife. The man of wealth marries a woman who is beautiful and gracious; one who will bear his name proudly. Her home is handsomely appointed. She fits into her environment as a statue in its niche. At her command are ser vants, horses and carriages—or auto mobiles, in this mechanical generation. She is privileged to trade upon credit and dress for her position in life. But too often her pocketbook con tains less than the woman in moderate circumstances, whose husband has a salary and gives his wife a stated sum to live upon. The rich wife, if asked by members of her club for a dona tion. must consult her husband tlrs:. She has no ready money, and frequent ly is obliged to ask him for paltry amounts. She is humiliated and be comes embittered; her dignity is low ered. Sometimes she employs deceit with which to obtain resources from him. And her thought of her hus band's parsimony soon kills all her tenderness.—Susan B. Anthony, in the Independent. Tl Vnnitjr of " ntnen. "Take hold of a woman's vanity.” said a married man. "and you can lead her where you will.” He gazed dreamily, smiling to him self, into his lemonade glass. Then he resumed: ‘‘My wife discharged her servant girl last month, and said that in order to have the work done well she would do it herself thereafter. And. by jove. she did. She cooked and washed the dishes, and ruined her temper and spoiled my happiness, for 1 can afford to keep one servant, and 1 hated to see her doing all that unpleasant work. But I could say nothing to make her stop until 1 thought of her vanity, and as soon as 1 thought of that 1 knew 1 had her. " 'Jane,' 1 said at breakfast one morning, ‘your hands don’t look like tfcey use to. Your lingers are rough, and your nails seem to be ragged and discolored. Do you manicure them as carefully as you used to?' “ ‘Of course I do,’ said she; 'and they look all right, too. There’s nothing the matter with my hands.’ “'1 know better, .lane,' said I. This rough work has told on them. I doubt if you will ever get them back to their former fine condition.' “ Oh, you're talking foolish,’ cried my wife, frowning, and I said nothing more. But when 1 got back home that night anew servant girl was in the kitchen, and my Jane sat before her dressing table with her manicure set.” —Philadelphia Record. C.lrlt 8> Hluikamltli*. A webb of poetic roman< e always has -been woven about the “village smithy," but it has remained for a sturdy blacksmith in the neighborhood of Leeds to introduce the daughters of the smithy into the romancer's dreams. rins blacksmith has eight daughters, and has reaied them all by the side of the forge and anvil. At present four are at work in his shop. The other four wielded the hammer' for several years and then left the business to take up the duties of run ning homes of their own. Every day these four daughters of the master smith are to be seen at the anvils fol lowing the trade of their fathers. They are up early and spend the work ing hours in making gas hooks—broad, bent nails which are used by plumb ers for fastening gas pipes to walls. It is not such a hard task, yet the work requires great patience and en during strength. The heavy part of the work is per formed by a machine worked with the foot. After the mechanical device has finished its labors the fair black smiths. with sleeves rolled up, put the finishing touches on the hooks with a hand-hammer and get them ready for market. The girls are fond of their work. They toil on a piece-work basis, and the ingenious blacksmith calls each a “full hand.” —Baltimore American. Two Gowns nnrl n Hst. A dainty gown is of white voile with narrow strappings of white glace to outline the deeply-pointed skirt flounc es, and a pleated bolero effect on the bodice finished off in the same way and cut short enough to allow • glimpse of a soft fulness of ecru batiste. This is eventually caught into the close bondage of a waistband of white glace, whose bow ends at the back give something of the effect of the fashionable coat taiis. A col lar of ecru batiste and lace also puts in an appearance, and there are touches of brown on the white silk tie. where brown velvet baby ribbon is threaded through tiny circlets of lace and divided by minute blossoms glinting with gold. Another graceful frock is of tur quoise-blue cambric elaborated with a design of the most diminutive leaves embroidered in white/and forming a trelliswork all down the front of the skirt, while at either side its points are edged with minings of Valencien nes lace, and the skirt is further trimmed with stripes formed by embroidery and lace. The deep col lar of white lawn and lace is fastened with a smartly knotted tie of white silk embroidered with spots of blue, and the accompanying hat is a pic turesque affair of black straw with a long scarf of pale blue satin drawn round the corner and tied at the back in a bow whose ends fall to the waist, while curving under the wide brim at the left side is one pure white ostrich feather.—New York Commercial Ad vertiser. JiiMlro to Stepmother*. Most abused in the public estima tion of all the members of human so ciety is the stepmother. It is there fore with a certain thrill of satisfac tion that we read in the daily chroni cles that in the slow evolutions of justice one stepmother at least has been vindicated. She is not the terror that tradition would have her to be; she is not heartless she is not cruel; she is not selfish more than are most mortals. She is simply a good, aver age woman, doing her best as she sees it. Such is the typical stepmother whom novelists and other perversely developed idiots have taught us never theless to loathe. In this case the stepmother had an excellent opportunity to prove her self devoid of narrow maternal preju dice. It was one of those families in which there are three brands of children, to use a common commer cial term. On both sides it was a second marriage. The husband had his particular exclusive set of children, and his wife hers. Then there was a set that jointly belonged to them both. Now. to this meritorious step mc'her's view, each of the exclusive sets was as ungovernable and as mis chievous as the other, and both with equal viciousness pitched into the third. The set that was joint property had put out of joint, so to speak, the noses of all the rest. The stepmother of tradition would have shielded her own exclusive children. But this stepmother was the real thing; hence the difference. She found it intolerable that the youngest set of children should be the victims of both the older wls, and she said so. and 'MI •lared that she herself was at the mercy of the. latter. The law* stepped in at her request, and it is to be hop :d that its intervention will les sen the hardship of her lot. In many savage tribes the step mother is held in superstitious rever end and fear, and yet the simple wife has less liberty and mere drudgery than with other races. We. with our civilized pretehse of chivalry, treat the stepmother nearly always ungenerous ly. In most cases she has more diffi cult duties to perform than a first wife, and it is not at. all certain that she docs not as often perform them well. There have been stepmothers, and there arc many in the world, who were or are among the sweetest, most pa tient and most devoted of womankind. Many a good man can look hack and trace his soundness of character and his success in the world to a good stepmother. Honor to her, we say, as much as to the other kind of moth er, where she deserves it.—Philadel phia Times. Tartan plaids are the latest novelty in dress goods and silks. Jeweled studs caught together with tiny jeweled chains are to fasten thin white waists. Silver tissue is employed as a back ground for many of the fine laces and embroideries. belts, with harness buckles of brass, are a smart accompaniment for shirt waist suits. Ruffles and neckwear of accordion plaited chiffon edged with petals of flowers are very dainty. The new cameo patterns appear on each buckles of shell. Buckle, sash pin and brooch form a set. y Alexandra clasps for stocks have medallion centers, with two flat hooka on each side, through which the ribbon Is run. An all black shoe is extremely smart. It is made quite plain, with out any stitching or trimming, of patent leather. Bits of red coral strung between links of gold compose a long fan chain, which would be effectively worn with a thin white gown. The garniture on some beautiful new evening dresses consists of large roses of silk and applique or chiflon linked by gold garlands. A lion’s head in rose gold has tiny diamond eyes and teeth and holds a large diamond between the wide open jaws. This fierce little object is a novelty in brooches. THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. (hick*.

The soy bean adapts itself to a wide range of soils and is chiefly used on land too poor to grow clover. It is an annual and makes a good yield of foliage lor silage and hay, while the bean if allowed to ripen is one of the richest feeds for growing stock and a valuable auxiliary as a part of the full feed ration. The use of the plant as a soil renovator has become widespread. Being a legume, it pos sesses the property of nitrogen gath ering. Sandy loams are best suited to its growth. Ymlu* of Tobttrco Diut. The value of tobacco dust as an aid to succcessful truck growing is too little appreciated. If there is one in secticide which should he on hand and used by the truck grower all the, time it is tobacco dust. Aside Iroin its insecticide value it is worth prob ably all it costs as a fertilizer to any soil or crop to which it may lie ap plied.

A FiriUClm* Ihilrymnn. I have in my mind’s eye a certain man who is a living example ot what study and (are will do for the da*ry man. This man was going along with a few cows of common stock, like the most of his neighbors. He mad ' ends meet, but that was about all he did do. One day he made up his mind that life was too short and time too valuable to be spent in a slipshod way. Then he turned over anew leaf, and he turned it clear over, too. lie sold every cow he had and began to nuild up a dairy. His choice happened ,o fall on the Jerseys. At Hint he went miles away from home to get a calf from first class stock, if he heard ol a good cow of the breed he fancied he went and bought her, no matter if fie did have to pay a good round sum. This ho kept up year after year, untu now he stands at the head of his profession in the section where he lives. Now men go to hint for stock. His cows two years ago brought him in $65 each for the sea son. I have not heard the figures since. Now, what is tile reason the r<st of us cannot do just as well'.'— New York Tribune Farmer. Mmi I*int; Swarming in Out-Apinrten. The great problem in running out apiaries for comb honey is that of managing swarming, it is too ex pensive to go out each day or to send a man. A western beekeeper, who lias several out-apiaries run for comb honey, clips the queens’ wings during willow or apple bloom and then equal izes all colonies so they are of about equal strength. This allows all colo nies to be treated in the same way and brings the swarming in a bunch. The supers are put on about a week before the main Harvest, and rows of sections are filled with bait combs to get the bees started work ing in them earlier. Plenty of sur plus room is allowed. While the sec tions are possibly not quite so well filled, and there may no more unfin ished ones at the end of the season, there will be less swarming and more honey in the aggiega'.e. Provide shade for each hive, which is a great help to keep the swarming down. He visits each yard every alternate day. When swarms emerge they soon re turn if the queen is clipped, and will generally issue again the next day, so if the yard is yisited every second day they can be hived. Treated in this way he can, with the aid of a 15-year-old boy, take care of 400 colo nies.—American Agri< ulturist. Wild m Itai U’ernl. During the last 10 years wild bar ley has spread with alarming rapidity to nearly all sections of lowa. I have been familiar witn it in Wisconsin and Illinois for 16 years. It reto-hed western Wisconsin about 1887 but was common near Madison in 18S4. It now occurs across the continent., being common in manj' western Btates. The weed is an annual, though claimed by many to be a peycnnial. It forms compact bunches from 1 to 3 feet high. The leave* are from 2 to 4 Inches long and resemble those of blue grass, but are of a paler hue. The flowers are in spikes 2 to 4 inches long, and are of a pale green or pur plish color. When mature the spike breaks into joints, each joint having from 3 to 60 seeds, a single seed giv ing rise to an enormous number of plants, as wild barlej' has a great ca pacity for stooling. Itt is not difficult to exterminate, if kept down. There ir never any trouble in well tilled fields, because cultivation very readi ly destroys it In pastures it ie al lowed in many cases to go to seed. Here the remedy is a simple one. The plant should be cut with a mower or scythe before the seed ripens. The awns are injurious to live stock, especially to sheep. The awned heads when taken into the mouth break Into numerous joints which ad- here to the mucous membrane and work their way Into the flesh; inllam maUon follows, the teeth become loos ened and in severe cases drop out.— L. H. Pammel of lowa, in New Eng land Homestead. Care of {Spring l.autbu. Where spring lambs are to be the chief crop, it is necessary to mane summer preparations lor them. With the lambs bom in the late fall and midwinter, it should be the aim of the grower to provide proper food for them. Good farming crops raised in the summer should keep the ewes in good condition up to the time nf the breeding season, and when the lambs arrive they will also have an abund ance of food. If one must go to work and buy all this food the profits in spring lamb growing will be discount ed. Clover or alfalfa hay should be raised in abundance. A good crop of either will save many a dollar later. As the lambs are to be fed cracked corn generously, it is necessary that a corn crop should be added that of the hay crop. The ewes themselves should be fed freely and generously to make them do their best. They should have in the fall and early winter a good ration of clover hay and shelled corn aid bian in the morning, and corn and ccwpca ensilage at noon. In the evening they should have ern fodder, some grain and some mangles or oth er root crop. Such a ration lew sys tematically will produce excellent re sults. The ewes will prove good mothers, and bring into the world the finest spring lambs. By good feeding it is possible in time to secure a flock of ewes which will produ.ee many twins. The ewes which show a tendency to produce twins should be carefully selected and fcil separately. By breeding carefully in this way the profits of the work will he nearly doubled. But it should be remembered that ewes not well fed cannot briAg into the world twins in healthy condition, nor can they rear them successfully after they are liorn. Consequently perfect health of the ewes is the first great step toward success. Unless one raises his win ter feed in abundance lie will pot give the sheep the amount and quality of food that they demand ior this pur pose. When we have to purchase food in the market we feed so eco nomically that we are hound to de prive the animals of their rightful alllowance. Provision for next sea ion's spring lamb should, therefore, he made now.—E. P. Smith, in Am erican Cultivatoi. Practical Tomato Culture. Anyone who persists in adhering to the old idea of allowing tomato vines to sprawl over the ground at random can hardly expect to raise such fruit as Hie thorough gardener who ties (hem up to stakes and trains them according to system. The for mer is sure to lose tomatoes, sinco those coming in contact with tlia ground will rot more or less. it i.i true that when tomato vinos a’e trained upon stakes they may not yield any more fruit in proportion to the vine than when left upon the ground, but they will generally pro duce larger and better fruit less like ly to become defective before matur ing. Here are two points of vital im portance in favor ol training tomato vines upon stakes. Whether one raises tomatoes on a large or a small scale, it. is by all means advisable to stake them in some manner. By so acing the work of picking is simplified, and if t.ney are trained on a sort of trelliswurk along (he rows one can walk between tne hills and gather them quickly. One can also watch the condition of the vines more readily than when they are permitted to sprawl ail over the ground, and it is less difficult to keep the worms and grubs away. Staking is really far superior to the old method in every respect, and when it is done in time it is always comparatively easy. Wonderful to relate, the longer the tomato is grown on one kind of soil and in the same place with good care the better it. will thrive. If possible, .therefore, ground suitable for tomato culture should lie selected and kept for that purpose. The ground having been well prepared in the spring, a slake should be driven into the soil at. intervals of 10 feet and so arranged as to present long rows about two and a half feet apart. The tomatoes should then be planted in hills along these rows, and as the vines begin to spread strong twine should be run on nails from one stake to another like wire on fence posts. On this strong twine the tomato vines can he trained as grapes are trained on a trellis. Trainee] in the manner described the sun reaches all the tomatoes, causing them to ripen evenly. But this is not all. New fruit will keep coming on the vines when thus trained longer than it otherwise would, affording just as many green tomatoes in autumn for picking as if only a few ripe ones had grown dur ing the season. Prunning the vines will make them stocky, and in that case the vitality of the plants will go into a fewer number of tomatoes. Hence advan tages can be derived by pruning if large tomatoes are desired, but for general field culture 1 would not rec ommend it. An ordinary plant prop erly trained will usually produce to matoes large enough for market with out any pruning. Cut off dead branches, trim where the vines are too thick, and where they have a ten dency to go all to stem. The result of such thoroughness will be plenty of good frnit, which will find ready sale in any market.—Agrisultural Ep ltomist. rtittinc Down Muffin;?.

With what might he termed the renaissance in household art that began about 25 years since came a more general appreciation of rich Spanish and English leathers that, were found on antique pieces of furniture. Asa result leather has become more beautiful and it is admirably adapted for the facings of walls as well as for the covering of various pieces of fur niture. In many instances these leathers are reproductions of the old Cordovan. Many kinds of skin are used, as some are too coarse of grain to become flex ible enough or to take the finish de manded for certain purposes.
