'The two chief characteristics of Lon don society," says a modern writer, "are its hoartlcssness and its simplic ity." Certainly It takes very littlo to mako what Is called tho smart set in England. Practical Jokes thnt wo would consider childish delight thorn, nnd any now excitement, however pucr llo, is welcomed with eagerness, but what shocks and repels an American moro than anything else, unless sho has becomo hardened by hoarlng moro or less of tho same kind of talk at homo In a certain set which affects tho latest Anglicisms, is tho exceeding coarsonoBB of speech. Subjects that arc generally tabooed aro referred to with brutal frankness, nnd vlco seems treated as a Joke, unless it is that of tho lower classes, in which enso it is judged with the greatest severity. It is only fair, however, to say that these people make themselves out to be a great deal worse than they roally are. It seems to bo a sort of bravado with them to assume a vlco even It they havo It not. If they were half as bad as they mako themselves out to be, thoy would not tolerate themselves. That this set should be deemed more desirable than any other, oven by those whoso Intel lect and position would seem to make thorn superior to mero fashionable con siderations, is ono of tho strangest In consistencies of human nature, but to bo thought "smart" seems certainly to exercise a potent Influenco on the wlsost nnd Is tho greatest ambition of society as a whole. Slock l'oavlioil ICffB. A very good receipt for mock poached eggs is the following: Tako as mnny canned apricots as you require. and If they are not already divided, cut thorn carefully into hnlvos with -a sil ver knife. Stew gently for ten mlnutos in syrup, then set aside to get cold. Havo ready somo blanc mango which has been poured Into a largo flat dish to tho thickness of about a quarter of an Inch and cut this Into small rounds with a sharp cutter. Then stamp out with a large cuttor rounds of pastry that has beon rolled about a third of an Inch thick. On each piece of cako placo a round of blanc mango, and exactly In the middle of this tho half of nn apricot, with tho outside uppermost, tho hollow form which tho stone was taken being nontly filled with whipped cream. Saturday AVaih-Day. Many housewives, especially those blessed with a laundry, are finding Saturday a good day for tho washing. It Is necessary to have a good hot Are, of coin-so, on that day, and tho baking can go on at tho samo time as the clothes boiling, thus accomplishing dual service from one fire. -This, of course, Is not possible unless the laun dress comes In from the outside and the maid servant Is released from the wash tub. After the washing Is Mulshed there Is always plenty of water for scrubbing, nr-d after tho tubs and boiler nro put away, tho stovo blacked and floors of porches, kitchen and laundry scrubbed and tho baking dono, thcro is a blissful 'thought of tho day of rest that Intervenes between the hardest work of tho week and ironing day. Tcndr-nry Incrrnlne Tho tottdency to trim skirts is in creasing. Somo months ago It was suggested that such a move was afoot and now models begin to como in. Ono of an odd sort is pictured here, a prom enade gown of black tullo garnished with cream gulpuro insertion appllqued to tho tullo In a looped garland around the hem, and in butterflies on tho re mainder. Tho skirt has a godot foun dation of black silk and tho tullo Is drapod blouso fashion ovor tho fitted bodlco lining. In tho center of tho back and front thero is a wldo boxplalt, and tho rest of tho tullo Is rather full at tho sides of each. Tho draped stock collar, tho tabs over tho shoulders and tho belt aro whlto satin, or may bo of whito wash silk. Tlio Wuy Clotltp Aro Worn. Ono who watches tho bollo of tho season and her many duplicates at tho resorts of fashionable folk, must bo im pressed with tho forco of tho fact that stylo Is qulto as much in tho way clothes aro worn as In tho clothes them selves. Ono woman carries her clothes, and for every ono of her ten or twenty it sometimes seems really Uko ton hundred shambles along somohow, anyhow. Fashlonablo women havo learned the knack of wearing clothes; therefore, whero many fashlonablo women aro congregated together tho result is very pleasing to tho onlooker. A woman can't bo taught to carry her clothes well by any amount of lectur ing. Sho must evolve the secret for m, i SS-afCM herself. Hut she can bo sure of ono thing. Her clothes must lit her, lit her shape and size, and lit her style; sho must be unconscious of them having once got thorn on; sho must stand well, and walk well and sit well.

ITow Succetaful Fnruirr Operate Till Ilcpnrtment of the 1'arm A fmr Hint n to the Care of I.W Stock nod roultry. HE bulletin recent ly published by Prof. II. L. Russell, of tho Wisconsin Experiment Sta tion, contains tho following: Pasteurized and sterilized milk does not suffer decompo sition changes nearly as readily ordinary milk. Tho heating process eliminates by far tho larger portion of tho bacteria present in tho milk, and with this diminution thero is a corresponding lncreaso In tho keeping properties of tho product; either milk ought to remain sweet for a considerable longer period than raw milk. Pasteurized and often tho steril ized product, however, undergo sooner or later a fermentation induced by tho bacteria 6pores remaining in tho milk. These changes differ from those re maining we observe In raw milk. Tho milk curdlos, but tho character of tho curd is entirely different, and to tho tasto is not usually very sour. Theso conditions aro brought about by tho presence of bacteria that aro able to oxcreto rennet, and tho soft, jolly-llko curd seen In boiled or heated milk Is duo to this ferment. Lactic acid or sour milk bacteria, as a rulo, do not form spores, so they nro easily de stroyed by heat. Tho destruction" of theso widely-spread organisms leaves tho milk seeded with a sporo-bcarlng rennet and butyric acid bacteria, which brings tho peculiar chango which is noted In pnstourlzed or sterilized milk. Tho physical characteristics of milk treated by heat compared with raw milk as a rulo aro much less certain. With tho sterilized milk thero Is a marked chango In the physical consti tution of tho milk that cannot bo read ily detected. Tho application of heat at a temperaturo exceeding 15S degrees F. for 15 to 20 minutes produces a co agulation of certain proteld elements, and at tho samo tlmo tho milk acquires a peculiar cooked taste. With pasteur ized milk this chango is not so appar ent, in fact, no cooked flavor should bo perceptible. Tho physical constitution of tho milk is undoubtedly somewhat modified, oven with tho lower degree of heat used. This Is shown In tho way rennet acts on pasteurized milk. Tho coagulation produced by this chemical ferment Is entirely different In char acter, and appears much more slowly than when acting In fresh milk. For butter-making purposes, or for milk or cream consumed directly, tho pnstourlzed process seems to have no Injurious effects on tho physical con stitution of tho material. Butter can bo mnde from pasteurized cream, and aside from tho difference in flavor, which is produced, thcro Is no obscrv ablo dlftcrcnco in tho texture of grain of tho product. Pastourlzed cream can also bo used Indiscriminately for ordinary purposes, for Ice-cream, whipped cream, and for general use. Milk treated by tho pas teurized process yields as largo n per cent of butter fat, when separated or raised by the gravity system, as' tho raw milk. By cither process tho milk is freed from any diseased bacteria that may havo been derived from tho cow, or may havo fallen into tho milk after tho milk has beon drawn from tho ani mal. I'lcrun for Profit. It was ir. the spring of 18S0 that a large farmer was Induced by tho writer to breed common pigeons for profit. Accordingly six pnlrs of mated white and blue pigeons wcro sent from tho city to tho farm and a place boarded off for their accommodation abovo a part of tho hay mow. The space was about 20xlC feet, with a door for tho en trance, and a ladder extending from tho upper beams of tho barn. In tho center of this room a square was partitioned off by railings. In this lnclosuro were spread sharp, coarse sand and gravel, tho railing about tho Inclosure being necessary to prevent the pigeons from scattering the sand. A box In ono cor ner of this lnclosuro was kept filled with egg-shells, broken mortar and clay In lumps. In nnothor box nt tho opposito sldo a piece of rock salt was kept, all this being necessary to keep pigeons In health. Tho nest boxes In vhlch to rear tho young pigeons were made of low, shallow soap boxes. A box 10x12 Inches square and 3 Inches deep serves tho purpose. Some of these boxes woro nailed a few feet abovo the door, somo higher up, and qulto a num ber woro put on the floor. Any placo will suit a common pigeon. All being ready, tho six pairs of birds wero set at liberty in tho coop. Tho light wa3 ad mitted by a email window at tho ox tremo end of the barn. In tho course of a wook nftor the pigeons wero liber ated In their new quarters two pair had built nests, a little hay for that purpose having been provided. Tho following wook theso had laid two eggs each, and tho four other pairs woro building their nests. Thus two pairs wero on eggs and four others Inylng and ready to Bit. Tho following week all wero at work. Pigeons lay two eggs for each clutch. It takes eighteen days to hatch them, three to five weeks before they lay again. Usunlly a new setting of eggs may bo expected three weeks after the first hatch. It takes the young ones five weeks to begin feeding themselves, but the male pigeon usually looks after them until they aro able to attend to their own wants. The first twelve months the six pair hatched and reared fully eleven pairs of MBCJB young, or slxt- two pairs in all. Thcso sold for $2C40, or 40 cents per pair, de livered in tho city. It cost Just $7X5 to feed and keep them. Tho profit Is Plainly visible Who says pigeons nro not worth their keeping? This old farmer was very bitter against, pigeons of all klhds until convinced to tho con vinced to tho contrary. Tho next season ho kept ono hundred pairs of breeders, nnd his success was equal to the first season, but tho first coop had to bo enlarged. Ho tells mo now that his pigeons keep himself and wlfo in shoes ni.d clothes and leavo something over. Ono of tho essential points In keep ing pigeons is to havo tho sexes equal. If there is an extra male, ho will makd an attempt to secure a mate from tho other males, and thus break up the mat lngs as well as keep tho colony in per petual turomil. Ho must be taken out, or a mate for him must bo procured from elsowhoro. Ex. A Cheap Silo. The Colorado State Agricultural Col lego is reported to havo an under ground silo which is certainly a mir acle of cheapness of construction. It has a cnpaclty of sixty-four tons and was built nt a cost of forly-threo cents for each ton of capacity, which would mako 527.52 for the bIIo, or, including the cost of four partitions by which It Is divided, tho cost Is placed at slxty flve cents a ton of capacity, which would mako tho total cost, including tho partitions, $41.60. It Is built on a spot which remains dry tho wholo year. Hero a hole twenty feet square and eight feet deep was dug chiefly with a scraper and team. Tho stud ding, two by six , rest on two by six Inch sills and aro held at the top by a plato of tho samo size. A single layer of unmatched boards lined with tar pa per is held In place by perpendicular slats and theso constitute the sheet ing. Dirt is filled in against the sides. Tho silo has no roof and tho silage Is covered with straw and six inches of mostened 'dirt, which is said to pre serve it well. A silo could hardly bo provided for less money than this Is said to havo cost. RnlMng Gm'fto for tlio I.lrrrx. It was an archbishop of Strasbtirg, a native of Toulouse, who Introduced In tho district during tho last century the rearing of tho Toulouse gooso for Its liver, says an English writer. In tho region of tho Garonne, 'the poorest of tho humblest peasants rears every year a dozen geese, and fattens them on maize or mlllshorts. Tho gosllns aro brought up llko tho chickens and tur keysmembers of the peasant's family. Tho gceso are only reared for their liver; that, duly extracted, is sold, and tho proceeds pay tho rent. Tho flesh Is kept by tho family, and potted in molted lard, and this preserve enters into a variety of succulent dishes in the regions of Bordeaux, Pau, etc. Tho peasnnts flivor their cabbage soup with a little of It, and it is more libernlly served at family fetes, and on holidays. The geese aro kept confined and liter ally Btuffed, until thero follows a fatty degeneracy of the liver, and Just as thia shows Itself with the animal and death Is threatened, tho bJrd goes to tho block, nnd the liver, now developed Into enormous proportions, goes to the epicure, who pays a fancy price for dis eased liver. A Frightened Horse. When a horse becomes frightened, demoralized or othorwlso rattled about something ho encounters, but does not understand, a good way to quiet him down is sim ply to talk to him in a good tono of volco. If a horso gets frightened at something he sees In the road, stop him at onco and give him a formal intro duction to it, telling him In the mean time how very foolish ho Is to let such a little thing disturb him. Nothing can be worso than to whip a horso when ho Is frightened. Ho doesn't get fright ened because he wants to. It Is only becauso ho has seen or heard some thing that he Is not familiar with. After he onco gets thoroughly ac quainted with the object of his uneasi ness, it will never frighten him again. Save the Feed. With a short crop of hay reported from all of the principal hay growing states, ho will certainly bo a wasteful farmer who does not stack the straw carefully and preserve it in good condition for winter feeding. Choice new timothy hay Is now selling for $12 to ?13 in Chicago, nnd choice upland wild hay is bringing nlmost as much. At these prices we can well af ford to sell hay and buy cheap by-products, If necessary, to feed with tho straw and corn fodder. We do not ad vocate raising hay to sell, but we be lieve In holding the platter right sldo up after ono year of panic and another of drouth. Farm and Dairy. Prof. Warrington has given the fol lowing figures as representing tho fer tility sold in $100 worth of tho foods named; Eggs, $3.5C; wheat. $12.28; milk, $14.08: cheese, $18.SS, and timo thy hay, $95.81. Tho abovo speak well for biddy, and comparatively bo for milk, though tho mill: was figured on a higher basis of valuation by tho quart than farmers realize. It brings out once more tho great amount of fer tility carried from tho farm in tho Bales of timothy. Hay is a soil robber for tho returns it gives to tho exche quer. Sanitary Milk. In tho Rural New Yorker there has been published a series of articles on sanitary milk. Tho methods of feeding and caring for the cows aro fully described, and the means employed to eliminate the germs of destruction or rather to prevent tholr fTAttlri!? into the milk. All throUEh tho description "cleanliness" Is tho thing to bo desired, every detail has this view. When It is known that this milk Is sell ing at 12 cents a quart, It shows that care and labor properly applied bring paying results. 9lennnaxnacaRnaaiiniKnMMW WHAT WOMEN ARE DOINO.
