Turnovers of finest linen are decidedly . cidedly dnlnty. Boas uf any sort arc not very much In evidence. A new heavy pongee has an almost shaggy sll\'race. A favorite braid for voile gowns Is the bright surfaced \ ( hm'cules. Wreaths of daintiest small flowers done In01 vet , especially delicately pale blue forget-mo'nots , trim hats. The latest development of the sleeve frill Is the mlllo'ment : of fine lace dyed to match the shade of the gown. Chiffon Is also largely used for sleeve fdlls The fashionable decolletage lIne Is somewhat higher this season , for , 111- thought the corsage Is cut lower , it Is finished with a dainty tucker of mous- sellno do sole , chiffon or not. Polerlno collars slightly draped in front and finishing to a point , leaving . Ing the throat free , will be much worn this summer. Another effective collar yoke ; : is a yoke and bertha in one , fitting closely on the shoulders and then falling with a full fiare. : ' , - : ' , , ' \ . : , . . " , / _ .

Dy means of electric sparks fired at ' rapidly recurring - curring intervals , 01' a revolving disk with slits passed In front of a lantern - tern , the moving object is illuminated In a succession of flashes. If the flashes are repeated precisely ! : ! as rapidly . idly ] ) us time machine moves , they will u + how It always In one position , and It will scent to lJe at resl. , Dirt , If they move less rapidly , the machine under observation will seem to move slowly , because at each revolution It will lJe Been at a sliiolhtly later tage.

Automatic Coupling. There is probably no other occupation . I tlon for men which shows such a large list of accidents and deaths In comparison . parlson with the number of employes as railroading and if 1 there Is one branch of this business which is more dangerous than another It is the coupling of cars In the yards at the terminals and freight , sidings. Of course , the Introduction of the auto- matic couplers has reduced greatly the number of accidents from this source , but It Is still necessary for an employo to station himself at each junction of the cars , to n Ipulate the coupler head by means of the lever on either car and In this there Is chance of a mishap unless ho Is c\l1l1ous. ! Perhaps the largest number of couplings Is made between the switching - Ing engine and cars It Is to draw and for this work ; : there has just been imm- trod 1ced nn automatic arrangement which enables the engineer to connect or disconnect the engine and cars without leaving his cab. Within easy reach of his ] hand , as shown hero , I Operated from the Cnb. there are levers which connect directly . Iy with the couplers at the front and rear of the engine and a8 the engine approaches ) or recedes from a car a movement of the proper lever will set the coupler to engage or release the corresponding coupler on the car.

I send you 11 drawing of a cheap farm gate I find to bo easily made . and satisfactory In every way. I have , , several such gates on my farm and have used one for eight years. The . .4 : . frame Is made , of 2 by 4 Inch scant. .Jr. , lings , mortlced together. The brace Is of the same material. My gates are strung with barbed wire , but woven wire could be used equally wel1. I . make my own gates. The usual length Is 1.1 feet. A gate of this length costs t I U.50 , Including the binges , besides : the malc1ng. Gate posts will not heavo- or tip If set four feet in the ground ; r. /tf / , . . I.

C.-I have u pasture infested with Ox-Eye Daisy , and I am now mowing then all down Jeitoro ! they , . : , I'lpon. Do you think this will eradi ' , " . , q " cute the pest ? The Ox-Eye Daisy is : - not a native here , but has come , I am Informed , from manure from cat. the fed upon imported hay. . . Mowing the Ox-Eye Daisy before thtJ seeds are ripened ) will prevent the crop of seedlings for that year , hut the plant is a perennial and the . . . , , { / I roots will produce new plants and new flowers another year. However , _ ' . I it does not root deeply. The best plan for clearing Infested land Is to brealc It up and seed down to clover. In this WilY the old plants are de- _ ' stroye and any young plants from seed which should flower the second year , will bo cut with both the first , . and second crops > < 1f clover before ! the , _ . seeds are ripe. Then , when the cia. vcr sad is plowed down , the Ox . Eye . Daisy plants will bo killed and the laud be cloan. . . Ants In a House. ' 1L. .

' Wood ashes fire frequently used by farmers , but no coal ashes are used. , ' _ ( s ; , - - Ashes from either hard or soft coal are of little or no value to grass land.
