GOWNS AND GOWNING WOMEN GIVE MUCH ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY WEAR. Brief Glances at Fancies Feminine, Frivolous, Mayhap, and Yet Offered in the Hope that the Heading lr Beatfnl to Wearied Womankind. Gossip from Gay Gotham. New lurk i-nrr-Ddi-o-e: ACH summer brings Bouie oue fabric to the front as a dress stuff, and this year' ac cepted one is lln- 'en. Last season it was mohair, a stuff that still lin- 'gers, but linen is newer and more popular. It is al ways worn over Home bright color ed material, gen erally silk, and this fact has pre vented many a woman from adopting it. But the expense can be much lessened by making the colored silk lining a separate petticoat, when It will be available for some trans parent gown. For instance, a grass linen over blue is 'ery pretty, and over the same blue petticoat, with its two or three silken ruflles, a black lawn will rn. Let the lawn be sprayed with flowers forget-me-nots, perhaps, with pretty green steins. The bodice will have to have blue lining for it self, but the skirt Is all ready. Trim the lawn with a lot of little frills and edge each frill with rows of narrww apple greeu ribbon. Tie the bodice with rililHin and let the neck be bound with apple green.- You will have a very dressy rig and no one will sus pect that your silk petticoat is doing SUPERIOR TO EX VIOL'S (U1TIC1SM. duty with two gowns. A black lawn Is a good Investment anyway, for it Is a possible gown for the bouse in all seasons, and may be worn over black. You are almost snre to have a pbjln black silk or satin dress skirt in your wardrobe that will do, though, unless the black lawn Is well brightened up with frills and narrow ribbon as sug gested. It will be dull looking. Keeping this petticoat-for-two-sklrts idea In mind, a dress like that in this first picture will prove possible to wom en tliat would regard It as too expens ive, were its skirt's lining a perma nent part of it. This linen has a deli cate blue and pink stripe and is made Into ft plain skirt. The surplice front of the skirt Is of plain linen, fastens Invisibly at the side and Is bordered with bands of linen embroidery. The wrists of the drooping sleeves show the same and a band of it gives the belt. Pink ribbon Is used for the stock collar and for the bow that finishes it at the back. With the skirt's blue lining made as a petticoat, it can be made to do much service in the man ner described, and by means of It a small wardrobe will seem to be much larger. The separate line skirt is as much in evidence this year as the duck was last season. Do remember that linen should be shrunk before making, and watch the great bargain linen skirt xery closely. Linen skirt nnd loose blouse are worn with white duck jack et, and the effect is voted good. A good many mongrel looking rigs are being turned out In linen, with revers of openwork, etc. Critics declare that a strictly good taste demands that tailor and milliner styles should be Or MODK MOUA1E -SD TA FFKTA. kapt separate, but this file is broken hy frait raasr women t.Nat devote MCb care to their dress.

The latter has a pleated joke, and un derneath it there is a vest of bluet uaiiufx'k. Embroidered batiste trims epaulettes, revers and liasque, and a white leather belt encircles the waist. After having seen as pretty a costume as this, it is hard to criticise it adverse ly, and so its type multiplies despite all that envious ones can say against It. Trices of fanciful belts have taken a tumble, but the pretty narrow white leather belt, with the buckle b-ather covered. Is in ti good taste to le set aside and will be worn all summer.

Jill v, A SLEEVES ilin REVERS OF TAFFETA. it is In less favor, wtilch Is only an other experience that should tench women not to go in for novelty effects, unless they have a basis of g'ssl taste and practical use. Rhinestone buttons and ornaments. too, have suffered a drop in price that foretells a short life for them, though buttons of modest size will outlast the big buttons ami showy ornaments by a long time. Just now the first named are correct enough, and can be had at prices that enable most any woman to consider such a Ixnlice as that of the third sketch, which six months ago would have leen out of reach, just because of Its ten rhlnestone buttons, each with a tur quoise center. It is cut In Louis XV. style from mode colored mohair, fitted In back, loose in front and ojm'us over a chemisette of pleated linen. Revers, cuffs and edgi-s of the bodice are fin ished with taffeta and Its collar is of gathered moussellne de sole. Large buttons seem to have forsaken bodices for gloven, where they are proportionately as large as any seen on bodices last winter. Two-button white chamois gloves, with very large pearl buttons, are the height of style, and fit a great deal better than did the chamois glove of some years ago. It is worth noticing that gloves of g'xid quality and standard shape cost a lot less than they used to, and those en terprising men and women that for merly profited by smuggling fine gloves Into the country have turned their en deavors to other matters. The stylish glove for tailor-made use is still a deep red, closed with two buttons or fasten ers and stitched heavily at the back. A bright, raw, tan yellow Is also worn, but is not so pretty, and a white glove Is so soft a kid that It has no shape and for that reason Is all the more unbecoming to the hand. A bodice that last fall or winter would have fastened with buttons cer tainly not smaller than silver dollars is next presented, and was found in brown cheviot. Mke the last one pic tured. Its characteristics date back to the time of Louis SV its ripple basque being slashed at the sides, and the wide revers coming from plaid taffeta. Its vest Is garnished with embroidered tulle dlspose.1 In Jabots on each side . and the sleeves are made entirely of j the taffota. With this bodice was worn a plairt'sklrt of the cheviot.

It Is a good plan, where the moths aic unusually bad to satur ate the floor with ls-nzlne, or prefrya- bly, we think, with spirits of turpent line, which is not so inflammable nor vola tile, and then lay newspapers down under ihe carpet. This prevents an at tack from the underside. It is Import ant to remember that the moth always abhors the light, which Is death to the eggs and larvae, and is really the lsst thing with which to circumvent them. Corrosive sublimate and alcohol In the proportions of sixty grains of tha former to one pint of the latter is useful for treating the edges of the uniiiii of the carpet where the pest is bad. but the poison Is so deadly that great cau tion Is required in Its use. especially when- babies are around. The moths deposit their eggs In the early spring. This, therefore. Is the season to pur away furs and woolen goods for the summer. It -Is not the moth, but the larvae, that does the harm. Thoroughly )eat the goods with a rattan and ait them for several hours In the sunlight If possible. Furs should be carefully combed. Wrap up In a newspaper perfectly tight. If this work Is done properly there will ts no need of an air-tight chest or eednr chest. Moths do not have any fear of cedar or moth lialls, but they will uol go through paper or cotton textiles. In deed, a cotton bag or other wrapping Is Just as good as paper. Once a month take out the goods and examine them In the sunlight and give a good beating. When the moths are not so bn-1, as In some seasons and mentions, this month ly inspection may not lie necessary. But this Is really the fur denier i . cret of preserving their stock. Caui phor Is bad for furs, as It Impairs their beau'y by turning them light. Cam phor may lie sprinkled among the wool ens, but secure wrapping In pap.-r cr cotton Is good enough.

Here was a good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with a view of teach lug his Importance he picked twenty five pennies from the heap, handed out twenty-flve stamps and shoved the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 2Ti cents. Expostulation was In vain, the post master cited the law In the case and that seemed to settle It With a mall clous gleam In bis eye the buyer swept the remaining pennies Into hi pocket and mildly inquired: "I suppose I can Kt a ne-cent stamp hcr for a penny, can't I?"

THE FARM AND HOME MATTERS OF INTEREST TO FARM ER AND HOUSEWIFE. It Will fur Any Farmer to Note Ac ! curatrljr the Value of the Clover I'laBt-l se Judgment in Feeding -t-bould Organize and hducate. Clover as a Sutisoiler. Some of the most successful farmers of my acquaintance wed down every field of grain with clover, considering that the pasture and manural value of clowr (dovsed under, of fields not left for meadow, well pays for the clover seed. Study the clover pluut. It will pay auy farmer to note more accurately than be has diiie the cculiar habits of the clover plant - Its long tap-root, its ability to stand dry weather when once established. Its tenderness in loose soils ls-fore it is well rooted, Its small nod ules iijs.ii the roots, through which it absorbs nitrogen from the air, and -pecially lis efficiency as a subsoiler. Every farmer kiems that a bard pan under his farm means grief to him and his. ami that before the farm can be made profitable, this hard pan must be broken up; but how to do It cheaply and effectively has tseu the trouble. Subsoil plows have been invented, used for a few years, and for the most part abandoned. Deep plowing has been tried, with the result of a crop failure for one or two years, or utril the lower S"il had lieell sweetened by exposure to rain and frost, or by hea- y manuring. The best and at the same time the cheapest subsoiler we know of is clover roots. The hard pun will not grow, but in ordinary farming sections win-re there is sullii idit rainfall to grow clo ver, there is no subsoiler so cheap and c(Ti-tive as clover roots. The clover root lsres downward by night hs well as by day, Sabbath and holidays In cluded. This silent force which honeycombs tin- earth cannot le measured, but its work Is none the less effective. It makes a place for Hsclf In life it ml in death; it makes a place for the nlr. that ucst perfect Instrument In breaking up the most impervious subsoil. Not only that, but It fertilizes the air space, ami thus tempts downward the risits of other plants and grasses. What subsoil plow works so easily and Is so cheap In '.is construction and efficient in operation? All It needs Is clover si-ed sown early and covered In time. Watch tills process going on this summer; examine the clover rsits a month or two months, six months and eighteen months old; dig dow n and see for yourself how far they go; find out In what Kind of soils they go deepest; compare the expense cif this with that of the subsoil plow ami the lnlsir, ind rememls-r that the subsoil plow can go at ltest but a few Inches, while tint-lover plant reaches down one, two, three and even nine feet Into the sul-soll.-Correspondence Country Geiule mar. Judament in Feeding. Most of Ihe Ills that cows and other domestic aulmuls suffer are due to Improper feeulng. It Is understood, of t is urn (lift of course, that the produft of the cow in quantity, If not In quality, Is depend ent on the amount of good, nutritious fHd which can be eaten and thorough ly digested. This creates the tempta tion to feed tisi much and too rich food. This clogs the digestive organs and frequently Injures them permanently. It requires skill In feeding to give enough and uot too much. There are peculiarities of Individual cows that have also to be considered. It Is not always the largest cow that will eat and digest the most; but we think It can be safely said that no cow was ever good for much for either milk or butter If she was a delicate feeder. The best cow Is sure to have a raven- ul-'"'"' ai'1'Hlte. and needs to be stinted sometime In her feed to prevent her from eating more than Is good for her. F.dncote, Airitute, Organize. We have printed recently several statement of successful co-operative efforts among farmers. They show that It Is Missible to unite; that when once united farmers must stay nulled to derive benefit therefrom and that benefits do certainly come. We must not think liecuuse our nelghlsir differs in politics or religion from us that his Intention are uot Just as gisitl and honorable as our own. We live at the end of the great century of civilization mid should be removed from the preju dices of the dark ages. Every other but our own occupation Is milted and seems to prosper on account of It. even in these times of depression. If farmers intend to succeed they must keep up with the spirit of the times, use their Intelligence, read agricultural pajier (the news of our profession! and unite to protect their own interest. Farm and Home. C'lisrcoat for Hous.

Start a flrc In bottom of pit with shaving and add by degree n bushel of cobs, wait until they arc well aglow, then add three or four bushels; when they are aglow, add more nut) continue until the pit Is round, I lug full. If hey burn faster no one side, lift tbem on opslte side with a pole. When all weem well aglow, cover the hole with the sheet Iron and seal the edge with earth. Next morning tak out th'- charcoal. If well done tlieru will be twelve bushel. I'ut them 10 spare salt barrels and break them with shovel w hen filling the barrels.

Hoard'a Iiairvii.au. Shallow 1'loninit for Corn. In plowing for corn the more shallow the furrow Is made so as to get the soil turned under and eiiough loose earth brought to the surface to make a seed bed. the Is-fter will be the eiirly growth and generally the crop also when It 1 matured. Corn risits love warmth, and In sod ground the soil which lies be neath the sod root cannot !e got Im mediately In condition to cut unless It is plowed shallow. When the prairie were first broken, the sod was ex tremely tough, and It could only 1st plowed very shallow, and that with much difficulty both for men and lea ms. Rut It was found that this sod coin plowed very shallow was ltter than when two or three teams were put on, and the furrow turned deeply,' so as to keep the grass roots from growing up through It again. Many Eastern farmers have learned the sam fact. A clover b y will licar to be plow ed somewhat deeper, but there Is no ad vantage in tills for the corn crop. If the iurn roots need to go down ib-eper, they can, and will follow in the humus formed by rotting Mover roots that have penetrated to the subsoil. A well cultivated corn field in our Eastern States rarely suffers from drought. When tl rop Is shortened by dry weather at earing time It usually means that the soli was not cultivated often enough while the com was snuill, so as to keep in the soil all the mois ture that falls in summer rains, which are usually sufficient to make a g'sid corn crop. American Cultivator. Land for Fruit Urowinn. In setting out an orchard extremely rich soil is neither profitable nor fe le desired If It could be made rich without ex-iise. Most young orchards lu thu first few years grow too fast and make Wood at the expense of fruit. If the farmer thinks the soil not rich enough, lie Is apt to immure the young tree w ith stable immure. This only ninke matter worse. What I needed lu most long-cultivated lands Is n larger supply of the mineral fertilizer that promote fruit production. It Is often argued that the orchards on newly cleared land which were set when th". country was new and Its soil unimpair ed, were for many years very produc tive. Rut the conditions were different in those early days. The burning of brush and often of the trunks of trees on the hind where they grew, filled the soil full of potash with enough phos phate added to supply the needs of fruit. l"e mineral fertilizer a liber ally as they were used when the for est were felled and bunted, and our exhausted grain fields would be amply rich enough for profitable orcharding. Fattening Calves. The butcher always Insists, when bis opinion Is asked, that the fattened calf must be allowed to suckle Its dam. In stead of being fed. In this way It not only gets new milk, but It get It warm, and also more slowly than when th calf has learned to drink. In this way the calf inlxew more saliva with It milk, and that makes It more easily di gested. Rut If the fattening calf Is fed new milk as warm a It come from the cow, and through a rubber tube with small aperture, so us to let the milk coiiie slowly, it will thrive Just as well as If It suckled, and It will be better for the cow. The fact that the calf get it milk more slowly than It would be milked tends to dry up the cow, and thi tendency is Increased If towards the last the calf stops sucking aud leaves a little of the last milk, w hlch 1 always the richest, In the udder. Live Willows as Fence I'oats. A willow stake pushed Into the Boil In early spring, while It is yet moist from the effects of winter freezing and thawing, will almost certainly grow, and after two or three years it will be come enough of a tree to serve a a (wist f ir attaching wire to It for a fence. We have known many farmers who construct their roadside fences In thi way, often planting the tree close enough together so that a fourteen or sixteen foot board may 1m? milled to the living posts after they have attained sufficient size. By cutting tiff the top every two or three year the fence may be kept from shading the rood or Held too much. Whole Oats for Horses. There Is always some waste from feeding whole outs, though tin they are less liable to pack In the horse's stom ach, whole out are preferred by many horsemen. But when the horse's teeth get poor, the w hole oat, not being mas ticated, 1 frequently voided a un broken n w hen it entered tho animal, and will grow when placed under fa vorable condition. In such case it can do very little good. It requjre more lalxir to cut aud mix meal and cut hay, but It will always pay, not only In the aavlng (if feed, but In the greater amount of work It will enable burst to perfi Tin.
