SUNDAY MORNING. '^fErV/^aaH’s]' Frond of |.n(|j Corson** Design. Queen Alexandra in an autograph letter to Lady Curzon (formerly Miss Leiter of Chicago and Washington), wife of the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, says: "The In dian coronation robes which you so kindly designed are perfect, and made the most brilliant effect. I am proud of wearing the Indian dress on this ercat occasion. I hope you will make this known in India.” N*w Picture Hat. No matter how beautiful a face may he, it can "always be improved by wearing a becoming hat. and a more fitting frame for a beautiful face than a picture hat cannot be imagined. Picture hats come in such a wide variety of shape that it is quite pos sible to find at least one that is be coming to every individual style. One of the simplest picture hats is a broad-brimmed affair of black chip, it has a very low crown, and the un der tide of the brim is covereu with soft black satin. The only trimming consists of a heavy black ostrich plume, ending in a bow of ribbon vel vet and a large pearl cabochon at the back. The Clover NectUe Woman. The woman who by her own clever lingers and tasteful ideas succeeds in supplementing her wardrobe enjoys a pleasure and satisfaction unknown to those who. rely only upon their dressmaker, and to whom the question of a smart frock or two more or less is a matter of indifference. Women of limited means do a sur prising amount of their own work in this way, and the effective costumes they produce for themselves is evi dence of the intelligence with which they catch and develop a pretty idea. And aside from all this it must be a world of satisfaction to have one's friends ask at which fashionable mo diste's this particular frock was made. I.ittli* Folkk* Conti. Box shapes prevail in children's coats again this fall, the prettiest ones being somewhat full in the skirts, causing them to hang more gracefully. In cloth coats plain col ors are* most desirable. Black taffe tas and moires, warmly interlined, will be much worn, and velvets are being made up. Among some of the coats ready for the fall counters was noted a smart little coat of navy blue cloth, with the emblem of the navy embroidered on the sleeve. Another was a dark green corduroy Russian blouse, and another a bright red ker sey box coat, with small turnover col lar of red velvet and large white but tons. The new coats have extreme “slope" effects, the waist high in the back and low in the front Flohline I p tlie Dtcia. “I have discovered at. last the prop er way to hold up a dress wltll train attached,” remarked a woman the other evening. “It is the simplest thing the world when once you get into the way of it. I fall it the ser pentine twist, i take my skirt by the middle back seam, draw it toward the right and, if it is a full skirt, cross the front so that the seam makes a ser pentine cur\e. It raises the skirt all around, so that 1 do not have one side trailing in the street, and the effect is very good when you have learned to do it correctly. “I thought of it when I wanted to wear a very full black nun’s veiling skirt on a stormy day. I practised it before the mirrow until I could do it gracefully, and I wouldn't miss knowing it for anything."—Philadel phia Record. fiulld of Wom*n liimlf.n. Artistic bookbinding, so much neg lected in recent years, says London Madame, has lately had much more attention paid to it, with the result that there has been a marked im provement in the quality of the de sign. The establishment a few years ago of the Guild of Women Binders has contributed materially to bring this about, and the work these ladies have turned out has shown most em phatically how well fitted they are for the production of the very best results, in which evidence is given of the highest artistic taste, combined with splendid craftsmanship. In com mon with so many other associations, the Guild of Women Binders has pre pared an address for presentation to the King, congratulating h’- Majesty on the coronation. The address is illuminated in gold and colors on vel lum and bound in green morocco with 168 inlays of colored leather, includ ing the doubiures, or linings. It was designed by Miss Constance Karslake, and the working of the cover was done by her and Miss Dorothy Holmes. The cover is an extremely beautiful piece of work, but depending as it does on color for its effect, the repro duction which we give hardly affords any idea of its loveliness. She Tffaclien Little Indian*. Miss Pauline Nevitt, of Pawhuska, l. TANARUS., is a guest of the Midland just now-. She is a full-blooded Indian, and her vocation is teaching little In-, dians in school. “I may not look like an Indian," she blushingly stated at the hotel, “but I am. I am part Charokee and part Delaware, and am full-blooded.” Mis Nevitt has the straight black hair and high cheek bones of her race. Her skin is dark, but more olive than copper hued. She is slight, small, and her hads and feet are diminutive. She speaks most perfect English, dresses in good taste, and has the character istics of an ordinary young white woman. Yet she is one of the abor igines, and was born such. Her birth place, however, was Olathe, Kan. “You see,” she said, “1 was reared among the whites, and was educated at Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kan.” Mis Nevitt is now a teacher in the government school for the Osages. at Pawnuska. This is maintained by the United States from the funds of the Osages, who are among the richest of all the Indians. It has regular grades, and most things taught in a ward school in Kansas are taught there. Miss Nevitt is one of several teachers, who are busy ten months of the year, and have one month vaca tion. The odd month is used for prep arations. "I have 150 Indian pupils in my school,” said she. “and they are good pupils too. Most of them learn readi ly, but, of course some are stupid— just like white children. They are taught the regular primary course, and most of them are glad to learn.” "Do they profit by it?” she was asked. “Not ali of them. The savage in stinct crops out every little while. We have some who become quite well civilized, but others go right back to the original "state, even to becoming blanket Indians. Some who go even through college drop back to their old ways and become blanket/ Indians again. But more and more are be coming civilized all the time."—Kan sas City Journal. A Sachet for JeweU. A jewel sachet is one of fashion's latest novelties, it is not difficult to make, and is at the same time or namental, useful, and convenient, in stead of a box this sachet can be slipped into a travelling bag, or into the large pockets which many women wear under their dress skirts. Ban glcF, brooches, chains, hatpins, and other odds and ends are kept in vari ous pockets, while the whole sachet folds up into small compass, and is encircled with a ribbon. A broad sash ribon—one w r ith a flower design on a white or pale ground for choice—is best tor the purpose. It should meas ure 5 or 10 inches across; 11 inches is the length. A piece of coarse brown linen or canvas should first be cut to this size, then covered with cham ois leather. Down the centre a piece of wadding covered with fancy satin or silk, measuring 3 inches across, should be neatly stitched by machine. This is to hold the hatpins. On each side of this pincushion is an inch of space, and then come the pockets for holding the various articles. On off* side there are four small pockets, each with a flap, fastening over the pocket by a button; on the other side are two only, made in the same way. The pockets are made of the chamois leather, neatly bound with silk braid. Glove buttons and little loops finish off each, ibe button being on the pocket and the loop on the flap. There are also two flaps, one at each end of the long pincush ion. which meets in the centre and button over. Thus everything is safe ly protected. The w'hoie sachet is bound with the silk braid, and the same is stitched up each division be tween Ihe pockets. The flaps are rounded, and are sewn on to the can vas first, before the pocket pieces. The pockets are sections of one long piece, measuring 3 inches wide. The outer covering of silk is laid on at. the last, just prior to the binding of the whole. The chamois leather Is excellent for keeping jewelry in. Col lored suede kid may be used if pre ferred, but. is much more expensive.— New York Journal. WffeMgr 1 1 ’■ Belt buckles and slides of gun met al arc much in demand. Taffeta in all colors is the leader in silks for autumn. Shirt waists of fancy velvet are promised considerable vogue for late fall and winter wear, g In metal mountings and trimmings for green leather articles a dull cop per tint is particularly favored. it is predicted that velvet brocade trimmed with black satin or fur will be used for handsome winter wraps. In fancy dress goods effective com binations are to be had in black com bined with while, red, blue or H;own. Braided silk and cloth coats are to be worn this autumn and tailors are making their frieze and homespuns coats three-quarters length, double breasted and tight-fitting. On some of the new boas, the ma jority of which are short and cape like in effect, moire ribbon is used for ends. Taffeta and velvet ribbons are employed for a like purpose. A beautiful hair ornament is in the form of a rose formed of pink satin ribbon and a number of tiny buds fashioned from rose colored ribbon and mounted on slender green stalks. Dainty cambric petticoats have two or three deep lace trimmed flounces with tiny rosettes tucked away jn the folds of lace and only visible when the wearer has occasion to lift her skirts. The (treed Injj Sow. The fatter a breeding sow is kept, the more liable she is to destroy her pigs by lying on them or eating them. Sows left to run wild usually make good mothers, and will generally se lect a warm, dry place to farrow. It is for this reason that there is so much advantage m using full-blooded hoars of Improved breeds on large, coarse-boned native sows. The pro geny secures the good qualities front its sire, with a better constitution and more hardiness than it could get from a full-blooded pedigree going back through generations which have always had ample feed and little ex ercise. Cult!vatlnr Corn. Regarding the cultivation of corn, a system of cultivation that will give the highest yield under ordinary con ditions seems to be about as follows: Cultivate deep during the earlier part of the season to remove weeds, con serve moisture and allow' the plant an early, vigorous development. Then gradually decrease the depth as Uie com grows, until near the end of the season, when cultivation should he shallow and as far from the hill as is consistent with removing weeds, in order to avoid root pruning and to leave the soil in the best mechanical condition. Dairy Manwerinent. Keeping a record of the product of each cow affords the dairyman an op portunity of knowing which cows give a profit. A dairyman who had been in the habit of buying fresh cows to replace those dried off commenced to keep an acount with each, and the first year be found that, after charg ing each cow- with her cost for food and crediting her w r ith all she pro duced, there was a wide difference in the profits. One cow gave a profit of only s!> for the year, while another gave $-! 1 as profit. Selecting the best cows, and breeds two pure-bred males he found it cheaper to raise his cows than to buy them, although the cost was more the first two yours, hut after that time he found that t.wo*cows raised by him were equal to any three cow’s purchased. Since then the qual ity of his stock lias been improved. There is nothing that will convince farmers so surely as the keeping of accounts with the cows, and it soon induces them to improve. Destroy* the Lire. Coal oil is sure death to every louse it touches, but does not. always kill the eggs, and must be used with cau tion to prevent blistering the skin of the hog. When a large drove Is treat ed the work can be done very quick ly by using a spray pump having an attachment for mixing the oil and water, and the pump should be so that it will use about flvo parts of water to one part of oil. When such a mix ture is thrown over the hogs in a fine spray, only a little of the oil is used to cover the whole animal, and if the spraying is done in the evening near ly all the oil will have evaporated by morning and there will be no blister ing of the skin when the hogs are ex posed to the hot sun on the following day. So little oil is used in the spray ing that, few of (he eggs’ will be killed, and the work should he repeated at the end of the week and again at the end of second week. If tiie work Is thoroughly done three sprayings will he {sufficient. Dice never infest clean hogs when they are not brought from an infested drove, and the hog raiser who has a clean herd cannot, he too careful to keep it so. No stray hog should be allowed on the premises, and any which are purchased should be exam ined very carefully before they are to run with the others. The oil mix ture should always be kept where it can be used immediately, if any indi cations of lice are seen.— lJ. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, Bulletin, No. 100. FedliK Mill l’rodni’fn. The amount of foods purchased ev ery year by farmers, for the use of live stock, is enormous, and some farmers sell everything but bay and fodder, depending on the mill prod ucts for preventing loss of fertility. Nearly ail dairy farms would soon be reduced in plant food but for the food stuffs brought on the farm. Only a portion of the material is digestible, the manure heap receiving the larger quantity. The manorial value of some of the feeding stuffs is greater than the food value, especially when care is exercised in preserving the manure. Bran, middlings, linseed meal, cottonseed meal, gluten meal and other concentrated materials feed both the animals and the land, and their cost during some years is less than tne value of the actual plant foods contained by them. In esti mating their value on the farm they should he credited to the land as well as to the animals, as the future prod uct from the soil and the stock will be largely influenced by then- use. A certain proportion of food given to an animal increases its weight, and the product is then sent off the farm, but the portion which is not digested finds a place in the manure heap, and is used over and over again, because it enters into the composition of crops, though its supply of plant food is diminished every year according to the amount of product sold. Milk car ries off a large proportion of nitrogen and mineral matter, about nine pounds of solid matter remaining in 100 pounds of milk after the water is THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. evaporated. This solid matter amounts to hundreds of pounds yearly on large dairy farms.—Philadelphia Record. Cattle ami Salt. Because animals are dumb and can not ask for what they need, it some times happens, through carelessness or forgetfulness, that they are de prived of that which is essential to their welfare. It is easy for a man to ask for salt if it. is not on the table, but an animal can only long for it if it is not given; yet salt is about as necessary for one as the other. There is a large percentage .of salt in the composition of the body, par ticularly in the blood and cartilages, and this is constantly being given off through perspiration, the kidneys, etc , am. the waste must be supplied or the body suffers. On the other hand, in the case of salting cattle pastured in distant fields, where quite a trip has to be made from home to reach them, this is sometimes done at long intervals, and a large quantity of salt is taken, seemingly with the idea of making up for the lack of it in the mean time. The cattle, not having had any for so long, devour it eagerly, and in larg er quantities than they should, and the effect is frequently harmful. It would be found more advantageous to mako the trip oftener and with less salt at a time. Cattle thrive best on a variety of food, and in digesting this a certain amount of salt is necesary to obtain the best, results. Should this be giv en. not only will he cattle be comfort able and not likely to get out of con dition, but they will return a larger percentage of gain to their owner.— H. E. Hay dock in New York Tribune Farmer. Tilorou;;li Oretiunl Culture. To give the best results an orchard needs both moisture and fertilisers, and while the latter may be applied at will, the same does not hold so true in regard to the former. The fact is the heaviest rains usually occur when they are the least needed. The only thing the orehardist can do is to put forth every effort to preserve this moisture or future use. Accordingly he should select, a location and soil adapted to the fruits he desires to grow, and then put it in proper condi tion before setting by thoroughly plowing and harrowing. It must, be remembered that, a fine ly divided soil is capable of holding an immense amount of water, whereas if left in its natural condition the moisture soon passes off. Hence the soil should be plowed deeply in spring at the earliest possible date; then stirred thereafter with a springtooth harrow, smoothing harrow, elod crusher or any implement, which will work w-ell in that, particular soil. Weeds certainly should not he al lowed to get established, and to pre vent, the whole surface will need stir ring thoroughly to the depth of about 2 inches every fortnight; if the season is a dry one oftener than this. It is important that the whole surface of the orchard be tilled in order to send the roots deeper, where they will in time corne to escape the injury of or dinary drouths. The ploughing should be kept up for the first few years. A careful man can plow within 2 (feet of an apple trie and not. injure it. Catch crops are good to grow in a young orchard, but, they should he ploughed under early in the spring that they may decay as soon as possi ble; their chief purpose is for fall and winter protection, humus, etc., hut not for spring growth. Thorough tillage should not be continued longer than midsummer, for about, that time or chard trees stop growing; if stimulat ed with further cultivation their new growth will net ripen sufficiently to withstand cold weather. if hoed crops are raised in a young orchard they should not be planted too close to the trees, and less so with every succeeding year. Vigorous epoping with heavy manuring may he contin ued for seven or eight years, hut af ter that it should cease altogether.— Bred O. Sibley in the EpitomisD Poultry Notirn. Fowls suffer more from dampness than from any other cause. Fowls having a free run will find their own feather-making food. Male birds should not be allowed in the same yard with moulting hens. A liberal dust bath for the fowls is the best protection from vermin. Late cabbages, that are too small for market, make good food for hens. Meal should be mixed dry and crumbly; it causes illness when too wet. Feathers should be plucked dry. Scalding detracts from the flavor of the ilcsb. In selecting fowls for the farm pro cure those clean of limb, hardy and wide rangers. To give fowls employment hang up ears of corn or a sheaf of oats with in easy reach. Tincture of iron in drinking water will assist in toning up the system of moulting fowls. Don’t forget to keep a box of grit bandy for the hens. Indigestion of ten begins for want, of it. Fresh water should be given the hens three times a day, and it should always be kept in the shade. When cleaning out the hen house do not dump the droppings out on the ground to leach their strength away. Either barrel up and house for fer tilizing some special crop or else put them at once on the general manure heap so they will be incorporated in the mass when drawn to the field. WHlllittuglng for Nursery. A paster frieze is a quaint new wall hanging for a nursery. It tells the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin town, with the rats and the mice, the boys and the girls, following the piper. It is printed on veloutines and grass cloths, and will be brought out on real burlap. How She Hum overt Ink Stnlti*. A woman w r ho had the misfortune to disfigure the front of a handsome walking skirt with ink succeeded in removing the discoloration entirely. She sponged the blemishes without delay in cold water, 'then, changing the liquid and cloth as often as they became discolored. she patiently sponged the spots until no color came off on the cloth. As soon as the skirt was dry she continued the treatment with a soft clotn and gasoline until the ink and milk were both gone. flint* About Ifairbritfth#*. A specialist says that hairbrushes should be washed once a'week, and if used on hair in which there is much dandruff twice a week is not too often. The brushes should be washed In cold not hot water to which cloudy ammon ia has been added in the proportion of a scant tablespoonful to a quart of water. Care should be taken not to wet the hacks of the brushes, and when washed and rinsed —a good way to rinse them properly is to use a shower spray on them —they should he put on edge in the air to dry. Dress ing combs, too, should he frequently cleaned, a comb cleaner being used lor the purpose. Dirt Candlestick* Ili^li. With the increasing demand for an tiques the supply of mementos and rel ics of past, generations is becoming exhausted, and the prices of genuine pieces are waxing higher and higher. Old candlesticks, for example, that have had such continuous popularity are scarce, and good specimens sell for almost any price that the dealer feels disposed to charge. To tell old brass, copper or pewter from the modem imitation requires long experience and a trained eye. Brass varies much in color, its shade depending upon the proportion of cop per and zinc used in its composition, and also on the hue of the copper em ployed. Copper Itself assumes a va riety of complexions. The old Span ish and Russian copper and brass) are both peculiarly rich in color and retain their polish longer than others. In the old pieces there is a filkiness of texture not found in the sorts made now. This is partly due. it is said, to the natural wear ot' the utensils. In some cases, such as pots, kettles and fireboxes, the action of heat may he responsible, In part at least, for this quality.

NOVEMBER 2 COLOR AND DYES. Over 3,000,000 Different Dyestuff* Are Accessible. The paticular coloring matters known as dyes are not only eminently endowed with the power of selective absorption in regard to light—a power which causes them to appear colored —but their particles or atoms possess a strong faculty for wandering into fibres and fabrics, and, moreover, of becoming dissolved therein. This wandering power and solubility in solid materials, possessed to such a high degree by dyes, distinguish them sharply from ordinary colored sub stances. In the former case the parti cles travel into fibre and are actually soluble in it; in the latter case, al though penetration proceeds, the ac tual solution of the color in the ma terial is not effected. In short, a dyed fabric is nothing mere than a solid solution of the dyestuff in the substance of a fibre. The number of artificial coloring matters prepared since Perkins' dis covery, now’ nearly 50 years ago, has been enormous. It is estimated that at the present day over 3,000,000 dif ferent individual dyestuffs are easily accessible to our industries, while at least 25,000 form the subject of patent specifications. The number of color ing matters furnished by natural agencies is comparatively small, and those that -do exist threaten soon to be ignored in favor of coal-tar deriva tives. Perkins’ great discovery has led to a complete revolution of the color output of the world, and has placed at our disposal an infinite series of col ors of every variety and shade. Moreover, it is Interesting to remem ber that the aniline dyes have proved of great service in determining the nature of disease. The germ theory of disease could not have developed so rapidly and on such definite lines as it lias done had not aniline strains been discovered which were soon found to possess the power cf mark ing and individualizing the specific organism by dissolving in it and thus enabling in several instances an exact bacteriological diagnosis to he made. —London Lancet. New Word* from South Africa. In the army, at any rate, if not in common speech, the D.e war will have its memorial for many a day to come in the form of several additions to the soldier’s vocabulary. An exhaust ing field day, with its marching and countermarching, will certainly be called a “trek." and any shady veran da beneath which the heated Tommy finds shade will more probably bo spoken of as a “sraep” than anything else. Then to “commandeer" will serve as a useful euphemism on many occasions, while it will only be neces sary to say a certain officer has been “Stellenbosched” to convey to the vet erans of Africa a wealth of suggestive meaning. But an lrisii peasant the oilier day gave utterance to the most picturesque application of a word which has be come common property through the war. A sea! had been committing thefts out of a salmon net, and Paddy had come out to watch for the thief with a gun. In due course he appeared, and a shot was sent in his direction. It was a miss, and a bystander offered the explanation that if the marksman had aimed a follower, he would have been successful. ”1 was on him sure enough,’’ replied the son of the Green Isle, “but he De-Wetted me!” Here Is a verb as worthy of addition to the die ionary as that which owes its ori gin to Captain Boycott.—Westminster Gazette. Cit SeOr Tlmti tli# rountrr. It is in the country that most of the fatal accidents from lightning occur, and they arc about evenly divided be tween people who are struck in houses and those who are killed in the open or while seeking refuge under a tree. To stand under a tree in a thunder storm is perhaps, next to clinging to a lightning rod, the most dangerous position that can he chosen. The comparative safety of the modern city from lightning is due to tho network of wires which covers it, and the num ber of tall buildings with iron points, tin roofs, metallic gutters and steel frames connected with the water, sewer and gas pipes, which form an excellent system of conductors. Still the city is not by any means absolute ly protected, for when a cloud with a tremendous store of energy approaches quickly, all the wires and pipes in ten cities cannot prevent it from dis charging recklessly right and left. —• Leslie's Monthly. A Little Sportsman. A remarkable story of the pluck and resource of a boy of seven comes from Tjureoiug. Germany.
