out ideas that are new to the realm of

Let men and women once be brought
to realize that there are many things
more desirable, more satisfying, more
productive of higher pleasures and
more permanent than money, and let
them be brought to fuel that avarice
creates appetites beyond the power of
anything to satisfy, and that' more is
actually lost than gained by it, ind It
would seem that to some extent at

strained, and human ambitions would
bo directed to worthier objocts.
To want everything in slgbt and to

The only advantage the ballot has

pable of being ignorant, foolish and

harder to unite them in the given

5ore New Jackets and Yachting
Gown.
The newest outing gowns are of blue
or white serge finished with a hem.
headed by three or four rows of stitch
ing. This skirt is in the bell shape,
but is usually made without seams,
with large slits finished with pocket
flaps and buttons on the hips. A pet
ticoat of blue silk, or of alpaca, is us
uallv worn underneath it in place of
the foundation skirt. The belt of the
dress may be a lace Swiss corset, to
which the skirt is attached, or a
separate belt may be worn with it.
The bodice is a shirt waist of silk or
linen, and a reefer jacket, lined with
same silk as the shirt waist, com
pletes the costume. For a young girl,
a white serge suit, or crimson, makes
a very pretty outing dress. It is a
fancy of the season to wear suspenders
with the shirt waist, meseare mere
straps of serge, attached to the Swiss
bodice or to the straight skirt band.
They are corded or trimmed in some
ornamental manner to correspond
withthetrimmingof thegown. A piping
edge of gold cord on a white serge, or
a pale blue corded on a dark blue
serse. is a suitable trimming. Cold
or silver belts are popular for young
ladies to wear with dresses of white
or blue serge.
This picturesque yachting costume
consists of askirt of admiral blue serge,
with a silk shirt of the same color,
striped with cream, and sleeveless coat
of cream serge. The sheath skirt of this
costume is linished with several rows
of stitching above the hem and slits,
fastened by pocket Haps and largo
buttons on the hips. The eleveless
i'ocket of cream serge is fitted in at the
ack and made in reefer's fashion at
the front. The rolling sailor hat worn
with this costume is a white straw
trimmed around the crown with a
gold band, on which are painted the
flag and insignia of the yacht with
which the woarer is connected. Good

What to Wear.
The New York Ledger makes these
suggestions in regard in a waterproof
cloak on a midsummer day has doubt
less experienced a sense of discomfort
difficult to discribe in words. The al
most intolerable heat and the profuse
perspiration are quite as uncomfort
able as a slight shower. A business
woman gives as the result of her ex-
experience and needs some directions
as to the making ot waterprooi gar
ments, and insists that they be made
almost as comfort able as other wraps.
A skirt is cut with gored front and
sides and straight back width. It is
cut ten inches shorter than the length
of the figure trom the waist-line to
the ground. The top is turned in one
inch, and the tiirnea portion is tirnuy
basted down. This edge is attached
to a narrow yoke of rather - looaely
woven earners nair or canvas, ine
sides and back should be sewed on in
pipings or flutings, tho upper edge
of which is left open. To do this
pinch up a fold of the goods and
sew it to the yoke. Face the
hem up on Hhe right side
with a bias band of tho waterproof
material. Make a rather deevt circu
lar cape with a cloth yoke. The
watorproof may be stitched on the
yoke flat; the cape should be held
down by loops of elastic cord at
tached to buttons sowed upon the
skirt. Three buttons and loops, one
on either side and one at the back,
will be sufficient or more may be ad
ded if the wearer pleases. Weiahts in
the hem of the cape will answer the
same purpose.. Around cape collar
of tho waterprooi, justlargeenough to
cover the cloth yoke, should be sewed
on in (lutings around a narrow stand
ing collar. Buttons and loops hold
the cape-collar in place.
With this arrangement a rubber or
Mackintosh may be worn with com
fort and ease. With a large umbrella
only the skirt need be worn, unless m
heavy storms, and on damp or cold
days the cape alone is a great com
fort. For rainy evenings in addition
to the skirt ami ctfpe the invention
has a hood and tpngmpe made in one.
As she eoes out a crent deal evenings
this is especially convenient and com
fovtable. No patent has been taken
out by the inventor and any lady of
ingenuity can make such a garment
for herself.

of the afflicted, writes the New York
Sun. But the oft-repeated prescrip
tion of nature's own cure eems to
make, no impression upon her until
the time of her own need is at hand.
The simplest and pernaps the surest
remedy for wrinkles is to bathe the
face in pure hot rain water not luke-
warm water, but hot with a soft
flannel cloth, holding the cloth on the
skin as long as it retains the heat,
and repeating the process many times
in succession, then immediately plung
ing the face in ice cold water.

restores the elasticity of the skin.
Eat nourishing food containing oily
substances, stop worrying and lret

never go to sleep without removing all
the powder from the face and giving it
its bath, Gentle but brisk rubbing
with the finger tips, marking all the
lines and rubbing in the opposite di
rection, is a help, but the bath is best
However, the best way to get rid of
wrinkles is to avoid causing them in
the first place by constant contortion

light after the American proverbial
fashion, and close your eyes and rest
your face in perfect repose tor a tew

by a countrywoman of the celebrated

All the heaviness that false hair usu

the Bernhardt which lias a light part
in the middle of the brow, where a
light fluff falls nearly to the eye on
each side , and forms a softly curled
wave of hair, but waved with the

and a dipper after sunset, consisting
of a little soup, a bit ol meat and on

Field Cultivation for Fodd.r
Com Karat Xts and
HoosaboU Hint.
I'aderdrmlalag.
On an old homestead In one of the
northern New England states was a
field of about thirty acre. The sur
face of this plot inclined gently to the
south. Three ridges extended nearly
across the plot from north to south.
The ridges grew gradually less until
at the south side they nearly disap
peared. The land between these as
well as the whole south part of the
field was wet and heavy. Some sea-
eons it could not be plowed at all.
other seasons not till late, and then
the soil was hard and lumpy. No
crops did well. Grass was frozen out
uid thin. It would not average 1,000
pounds of bay to the acre.
The larger stone had been used to
enclose the thirty-acre field with a
good substantial stone walL The
smaller stone such as were unsuitable
for fences had mostly been drawn
into piles. Other yet smaller ones
were scattered over the ground. The
large stone piles were unsightly and
those remaining on the ground were
continually in the way. The first
question was how to dispose of these
small stones. It was decided to bury
them in these low places, thinking
from there they would never work to
the surface. So a trench or ditch was
commenced at the north end of one of
these low places or hollows. The
ditch was dug three foet deep and two
foet wide. Stones were hauled on a
dump-cart and tipped in promiscuous-'
ly and covered with one and one-half
feet of earth. It was asked why not
lea ve an open space at the bottom and
extend this trench across the field; this
perhaps might make a drain as well as
rid It of stones. Then a row of hard
heads was laid clong each side and
covered with the best flat stones to bo
had, leaving a space of about six by
eight inches open at the bottom. On
these small stones were dumped and
all covered with from twelve to sixteen
Inches of earth.
This experiment was closely
watched. It worked like a charm.
The next season two other main ditches
were extended across the field. Later
a few laterals were placed wherever
needed. It finally resulted In a per
fectly clean, well drained field. Tho
soil became mellow and dry, with the
application of manure all spring crop's
did remarkably well. No extra labor
was employed in putting down these
ditches except about $70 paid for dig
ging. It was all done at odd spells. '
This ditching was complete! in 1855
or '56. I have had no reports for sev
eral years, says a writer in the Na
tional Stockman and Farmer, but in
1880 the ditches were working appar
ently as well as when first laid and I
am quite sure that more than the cost
of the whole job has been saved each
year by the Increaso of the crops and
the ease with which the land has been
worked.
I am well aware that this kind of
ditching is not practicable on all farms
but where it can be used and Is needed
I would recommend it as cheap, simple
and durable. And I know
there

states that could be much benefited by

Growing Fodder Corn.
A great improvement In methods of
growing corn fodder has beed made
within the last thirty years, says the
Ohio Farmer. Once it was alwavs
stalks which thickly sowed corn pro-
duces are poor teed, ana while cows
will eat them, yet If they give much
milk they must take fat from their
reserve stores to put into it When
drills came into use it soon became
easier to distribute drilled corn in
straight rows, wide enough amirt for
cultivation. This produces large.
no nuoDins on u someimng is wrong;
either tho land is too poor, or more
probably tho seed has been drilled in
too thickly.
Rich, sweet stalks are of no less Im
portance in making ensilage. The
richer the material put into tho silo,
tho better will be the product In
fact by putting in only nearly mature
corn the fermentation can bo kept down
so as to produce a sweeter ensilage,
' and one that has lost a smaller pro
! portion -of its nutritive value than the
80Ur' n stuff, originally iwor that
comes out 'almost worthless, and has
to be liberally supplemented with grain
to make a living ration. It is possible
to put so much richness into fodder
corn ensilage that no grain, or only at
most a little bran or wheat middlings,
will be needed to supplement it In
giving corn room enough to spread
out and begin paring. a greater weight
of stalks can be grown than by thick
sowing, especially when midsummer
droughts cut and sear the sown corn
so that it can barely get into tassel,
and is moi-ely a mass of innutritious
leaves.

"We do not mean a Sabbath school
picnic or a fair when we speak of a
farmer's holiday. These are good in
their places, but they are usually so
much like work that we cannot call it
play, as one - must usually be bored by
either making a formal speech or hear
ing one made, which is equally as big
a task, or else some of the borne pro
ducts must be taken to the fair to be
displayed and bothered with, which I
call work. What I mean is a day of
absolute rest. We farmers work hard,
and have too little social enjoyment;
we have almost forgotten how it would
seem to turn out in our own green
fields and woods without a care on our
minds. Now to have a good time we
want some pleasant place not so far
nor expensive to reach that any may
be kept at home. An excursion by
rail or steamer is a very good thing,
as there will be no horses to be fed at
the place of gathering. And let there
be no care with picnic baskets. Go to
some public house and get a dinner
that you will have no hand in prepar
ing, and just 6oe how much it can be
enjoyed.
We fell upon a party of this kind
not long ago encamped for the day in
a beautiful grove upon the shores of
ono of our beautiful lakes. They were
enjoying themselves hugely. The ride
and change of scene were very, refresh
ing to the company and they decided
by vote to enjoy more of nature, and
occasionally take a day of rest.
Coatly Stacking.
. No matter how well done, heavy loss
of hay results from stacking; and a
novice loses often as much as 40 per
cent in quality and rotted, worthless
tops snd sides. This waste is worse
than to give away such a proportion of
standing grass, for labor and time
were required for storing. Estimates
from experience indicate that a poor
man would better pay 10 per cent in
terest on lumber to protect hay. Hay,
time and labor saved would pay the
interest and gradually reduce the prin
cipal borrowed, placing a good barn
where only "wind-swept" sod offered
no shelter before. If stacks must be
built no stack-pole should bo allowed;
or if used, should bo sawed oft clo;e
to the hay after final settling. Tolos
lead much water in that would not
otherwise enter. Most water naturally
enters the top. A roof movable up
and down on poles surrounding the
stack is a good thing seldom seen.
Even waterproofed cloth stretched over
a high point and brought well down on
the stack is not to be despised, if the
pins holding it are driven in points up,
so they will not lead In water. Some
times old canvas, at lc per square foot
serves admirably. But at best stacks
of any sort should be dispensed with.

Smoker Fuel.
After trying many different kinds
of fuel for a bee smoker I find cobs cut
fine the best to use whon taking away
surplus. For all other purposes I like
buckwheat chaff the best If the bees
are inclined to be ugly mix in from
one-twentieth to one-tenth part of
cheap smoking tobacco. A tin strainer
Is needed when chaff is used to keep
the chaff from blowing out The only
objection to using chaff when taking
off surplus Is in soiling the honey.
Possibly a fine strainer would prevent
this. The coarser part of the chaff is
best It is surprising to see how well
chaff holds fire and the length of time
it will burn. I left my smoker in th9
apiary the other day partly filled.
When I discovered it an hour and a
half later it was burning full blast
ready for business. Stock and Farmer,
Hints to Housekeepers.
If troubled with headache, try the
simultaneous application of hot water to
feet and back of the neck.
Fried fish is very good turned in salted
flour, or salted egg and bread crumbs, and
then put into txiliug-hot fat to get brown.
If the bands are rubbed on a stick of
celery after peeling onions the smell will
be entirely removed. Or onions may be
peeled under water without offense to eye
or hands.
If a poison has been accidentally swal
lowed, instantly drink a pint of warm
water in which has been stirred a tea
spoonful of salt and one or two of mus
tard. A half -gloss of sweet oil will render
many poisons harmless.
Many women complain that button
shoes pain the feet more after a month's
wear then they did whon first put on.
Examination will prove in these casses
that by tho stretching of the uppers the
foot is allowed to slip forward, paining the
toe and the side of the ball joint. By re
setting the buttons judiciously the troublo
is overcome.
Rain water, it is well known, is the best
cosmetic. A good substitue is to let some
orange, lemon or cucumber peel soak in
water used to wash the face. This need
not be especially prepared for every ablu
tion. Keep a wide-mouthed bottle or jar
of it on your toilet stand and use daily for
tho face. It softens the skin and gives a
becoming glow, while heathfully stimulat
ing the action of the skin.

derstanding of the XV financial plank of our

exposition of that plank it has been our good
fortune to see. Wonderfully dear and forci
bleinvaluable on the platform and in the
assembly room. 'The Money Monopoly is a
book which no labor reformer should be with
out." Journal of K.of L. Phlla , Pa., Jan. 2.

The general treatment of the monopoly

from hundreds of volumes Irom the best
men of the ages on the three great questions
of Money, Transportation and Land, (so full

It is a grand argument for a higher civiliza

by the people of fair, honest minds. It would
work a revolution of thought that would be
astounding.
