Widows Cap. The, origin of the custom of widows wearing caps is extremely anoient. It may be traced back to the Egyptian and Grecian practice of sharing off the hair in periods of mourning. But as without hair there was a danger of catching cold, the men wore wigs upon their bald crowns and the women caps. The Latest Medical Novelty.

The many improvements in American machinery and the careful attention paid by American manufacturers to style and finish have placed American shoes in the front rank. The de mand for American shoes in Germany has not been created through the ef forts of manufacturers, but through Consuls and resident Americans. Many Germans are now ordering shoes from American retail houses and have them sent over by freight.

Decline of Specialty Farming. The truth of the matter is that specialty farming is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. The corn-belt farmer is beginning to notice that his crops average fewer bnshels to the acre than they did formerly, that the corn-root worm and other enemies of the corn plant are becoming more plentiful, and these thiugs indicate that something must be done to re store the fertility to the soil and de crease the ravages of insect enemies. The bonanza wheat farms are paying smaller dividends year by year, the great ranges are being fenced tip, and the cattle king will be a historical personage within a very short time. Diversification of crops and indus-! tries is the rule in these days, and it will be but a short time until it will become the universal practice. The man who devotes only a small portion jf the year to the production of a ,iugle crop cannot make a fair living .'n these days of moderate prices and sharp competition. Very few busi ness men would ever think of putting their whole work into some artiole of trade that sells but half the year. They expect to deal in those things that re quire them to work all the year through in order to oome out at the end of the yar with a fair profit to their credit. The coal man deals in ice in the summer, and the same man handles lawn-mowers aud skates. This is the principle upon which profitable farming must be conducted. The crops mast be so diversified that there will be some profitable work to do everyday in the year. Farmers' Voice. The Cost of Potato Dlcgln g. The potato digger is now so far per fected that it will dig the potatoes without covering them, and quite as thoroughly as they are generally secured when dug by hand labor. Of course the potato digger does the work much more rapidly, besides saving the back ache, which comes from hand ling the potato fork by human muscle all day. There yet remains the job of picking np and assorting the potatoes. One man with two horses astride the row open the hills as rapidly as the horses can ' walk, and tho machine places the potatoes far enough from the next row so that they will ibe out of the way of the horses' feet when that is dug. A friend in western New York who has one of these diggers writes that as his own potatoes are ready, he is digging potatoes for his neighbors at a charge for the machine pf $1 per acre. This seems to ns a very low price, but we presume the neighbor furnishes the team. We have known men who with a potato fork wonld go through a potato field all day, striking just one blow beside the hill and lifting it np with a gentle shake, leaving the potatoes on the sur face. But the man who did this earned $3 to $5 per day, and had all he conld do at that while the potato digging season lasted. The price of potato digging has been greatly reduced as compared with what it used to be. Tart of this is due to the growing of varieties which are bunched in the hill. This makes po tato digging easy. In the olden time vo have known $10 an acre paid for digging Teach-blow potatoes by hand. Tho man who did the digging abun dantly earned his money. Other varie ties conld be contracted for digging and pitting at $8 per acre. If the po tatoes are not scattered too much four or five men ought to keep np with the digger, though probably not more thau as many acres as this would be dug with a digger aud strong active team of horses. Where there is a large crop the labor of handling the pota toes after they are dug is greatly in creased. In most fields there is this year some rot, aud ail the potatoes even slightly affected Bhould be thrown np before they are put np for keeping or sent to market. American Cultivator. Making the Milk. The man who owns the cows is the one who makes the milk. He can make little or much of it, he can make it clean or dirty, cheap or expensive; in fact, he can vary the milk to suit himself. The cow is only a complicated apparatus in which he burns his various fodders, and out of which he obtains his finished product in the shape of milk. Like all other ma chines, the cow is subject to the laws of thermodynamics. She must nse a certain amount of her fodder to keep the vital machinery in motion. This includes the keeping of the animal heat at the right point, the circulation of the blood, the digestion of food, the elaboration of milk and all the other vital actions which go to make up the life of the animal. Experiments have shown that it re quires sixteen pounds of dry organic matter to keep this machinery in motion, that is, to keep the animal alive and in health. From tho rest of the food given above that weight, the dairyman may expect greater or less returns in the form of milk. Here comes the first point. Now, how much fodder does it take to keep that cow? Sixteen pounds or twenty pounds? There is a wide margin here all the difference between profit and loss. Ask the cow and see what she says. If she is using twice as much fodder as she ought to, to keep her machine in motion, then she is not a profitable animal. If sho cannot use the ex cess of feed given her over her main tenance ration, to produce a profitable amount of bntter fat, she is not worth keeping and should be disposed of as soon as possible. No dairyman can afford, under pres ent conditions, or even under any con ditions, to keep animals that eat food that they cannot return a greater value for in the milk pail. If he does keep such animals, his progress down the financial hill is neither slow nor comfortable. His life is one long struggle against conditions that he might 'change if he only would. There are many roads that lead to loss of profit on the farm, but the broadest, smoothest road with the steepest downward pitch is the one traveled by the unprofitable cow. Hoard's Dairy man. Artichokes nt Stock Food. After a personal experience of eighl years in the cultivation of both the wild and "tame" sorts of the tuberous rooted artichoke, I have concluded that hitherto the cultivation andhand ling of this tuberous-rooted, much praised, much abused perennial has by many American farmers been greatly misunderstood. The wild artichoke, being indigenous to North America, is fully understood by most farmers; bnt many do not understand that there is a difference between the wild and cultivated artichoke, yet as a matter of fact they are as different as are wild and "tame" rye, or as wild and "tame" parsnips. The wild arti choke is merely a bad weed, aud pro duces very few and small tubers. In many soils it is difficult to extermin ate; it sends its long, branching roots deep into tho soil like the Canadian thistle. The "tame" artichoke is as easily grown as corn, and on laud that will produce fifty bnshels of corn per acre five hundred to twelve hundred bushels of artichokes can easily be produced. The value of the tubers as a conditioner, disease preventer, aud as a valuable, cheap food for live stock of all kinds is fast becoming recog nized. A wealthy hog raiser of the writer's acquaintance says he has had no swine plague in his herds since they have been allowed to root in an artichoke patch to their hearts' con tent; the hogs continue vigorous and. free from constipation and the dis eased conditions accompanying an all corn diet. Many farmers object to growing artichokes they say the plant is bo difficult to exterminate. Their ex perience principally relates to the wild artiohoke; nothing is more absurd, as far as the extermination of the culti vated varieties is conoerned. During the writer's experience of eight years in annually growing large fields of it he has learned how to exterminate it easily and completely in one summer. Turning under the growing plants with a breaking plow when about fif teen inches high or when the old tubers have rotted and the new ones not yet formed will completely ex terminate every vestige of them. Sow ing to oats will do likewise; so will pasturing with sheep. If the culti vated artichoke is not allowed to bloom it will form no tubers. Why, "it's as easy as rolling off a log." Vick's ivjagsziiie. The Winter Vegetable Garden. By winter garden is meant as much garden as can be had in winter under glass. The hothouse, hotbeds and cold frames tako the place of open air for culture of such crops as a winter season permits and such close quar ters allow with profit. November is as late as can be deferred the last work of preparation. Beds to be opened in February and March now need covering with leaves to protect the soil from frost. Winter lettnee cau be grown from plants set in newly made beds over heating horse manures. Beds of dan delion, parsley and cress should be set now if not already done, either in beds warmed by manure, or those heated by steam or hot water pipes. After the ground is frozen such work is difficult, and now is as late as profitable work can be begun. Wheu the glass is to be used the winter through, March 1 should find one crop off and another to be planted for succession. Boots intended for forcing must be dug before the closing of the ground. Bhnbard, asparagus, dandelion, olives, winter onions (or, as it is called, the tree or Egyptian onion) can be stored in a light cellar where the tempera ture is low enough to hold the leaf in as dormant a condition as is natural' in winter, so that when brought into a higher temperature the growth will be at once rapid and natural, if not as luxuriant as when the plant remains undisturbed in that soil. Mint roots can be kept over nicely in this way, and forwarded early in spring. Winter cress and parsley should be set at once in heat, and the plants will make a continuous growth all the winter in the soil and treat ment of tho greenhouse. Small roots of celeriac, also kept over in this way, grow rapidly and give cuttings of green tops for soups after celery is past in February. These plants will grow thickly if room is limited and with greater vigor if room enough is allowed. Lettuce still taxes the energy of many grow ers, but the best success is with those who cau market an upright lettuce which does not form hard heads, only abundance of leaves. The head let tuce of any variety is difficult to man ago in the first months of winter. The market to be snpplied determines what kind to raise. Of course it is understood that the lettuce plants now to be set are those grown from seed planted in Angust. Ordinarily it takes ninety days, or more, to get lettuce in perfection from seed. Tho seeds of lettuce wanted for setting in March should be planted now in boxes in the window or in hot beds. Cold framo lettuce is now in a marketable condition, and when the weather is favorable open air lettuce is in condition to cnt until hard frost cuts it down. Agricultural Epitomist. Manufacturing French Noblemen, A treatise entitled, "Is There a French Nobility?" written by the Vi comte A. de Boyer, is a burning topic in the highest social circles of Paris, France, at present. The Vicomte de clares that out of 45,000 "noble" fami lies only abont four hundred are able to substantiate a claim to ancient lineage. The writer also asserts that on an average abont forty nobilities' are actually manufactured in the Be publio annually. As an instance of this the case of a M. Dulao is quoted,'; who asked permission to change his name to Du Lao de Boujon. Two years later he paraded as a count. The Pope also, says the Vicomto, grants an average of sixty titles of coaite or prince annually. It is shown that about fifty per cent, of foreign blood is introduced in the line of the real noblesse by intermar riages with Jewish and American heiresses. Long lists of such mar riages are given and the treatise con cludes with the statement that the present French nobility is a delusion. New York Journal. To Measure m Wink.

On Class of Wine Persons Who Think That It Changed the Coarse of Politic In This Country An Ante-Bellum Kplsode and Its Keeutte. The following story from the Atlanta Constitution is an unusual artiole to appear in a temperanoe column, but it may serve to point a lesson in sobriety as well as another: It Is said that a single glass of wine probably wrecked tbe Democratic party In 1860. Tlia story is worth telling. After tbe breaking up of the National Democratic Conveutton at Charleston the party in Ueorgla hold a Htate Convention. Great excitement prevailed. The leaders of the party could not agree. It was a critical period. The majority report Indorsed the seoedors or bolters at Charleston, while the minority report opposed their aotlon. The leading champion of the minority was Herschel V. Johnson, nnd bis followers were eon (1 dent that his eloquence and logic would carry the day. . It is quite likely that such would have been the case but tor an unfortunate mis bap. Ex-Governor Johnson bogan bis speech before the noon adjournment on the second day, and oonoluded after dinner. Old mep who remember that speejh say that tt was a powerful argumout, and the Impression galued ground that after ha noon recess the speaker would demolish his opponents with a few siodge-hammer blows. But the over-eonfldent friends of tho minority report were doomed to disap pointment. Johnson felt the strata of the morning session so much that he was un able to eat anything, aud he took a glass of wtneuponau empty stomaohtostreugth en himself. This was a fatal mistake. That one glass of wine perhaps changed the destiuy of the nation! The great orator resumed his ipoeolt, but the wine had nauseated bim. He was hazy, verbose and unintelligible at times. His style and argument lacked valor, con sistently and positlveness. His friends looked at one another in despair. The men on the other side were exultant. It was evident that tbe speaker had damaged bis own cause. Then Howell Cobb and Ilenry It. Jack son followed each other for the majority report. They spoke with an air of expeo tant triumph aud captured tho convent Ion, The majority report was adopted. It It unnecessary to follow the history of the next few weeks. The National Democraoj was completely disrupted and put two tickets in the Held. Lincoln was eleoted and the oountry was plunged into a olvll war. Had Johnson auooeeded In inducing the Georgia convention to adopt the con servative ideas, it Is safe to say that otbei Southern Hiatal would have fallen Into line with our commonwealth, and the Na tional Democratlo party would have re mained united. This is the story of what a little glass ol wine did. It ruined a great party, caused a disastrous war, and besides the loss oi life, cost the South over four billions ol dollars. Perhaps this is rather specula tive, but there am many who believed it generation ago. Who Tays the Bills? , Who pays the Mils? Who feeds tht drunkard's children?

A Little Snggestlon, There exist In many organizations whlc). sail under the name "fraternal," customs of conviviality that have no business there, that are sources of temptation to the mem bers, and to outsiders tbe cause of rauo'j scandal. There is no reason why, at thli late day, men can not gather to transact business, or even for sociability, without the lntroduotlou of liquor. Beer-parties among people with any pretentions to re flnement are out of date as occasions of entertainment, and the societies that still adhere tothls old ignorant cusrnti are fm in the rear of the procession. There is in- doea a marked improvement of late year, in this respect, but unfortunately then are still organisations not only unobjec tionable but praiseworthy In every other way, whose record in this matter Is nol clear. Total abstainers in such socletiei should make their influence felt on tin question, and should do all In their powei to oombat and defeat a cnttom which It not conducive to tbe good of the members either morally or physically. Necessity For Total Abstinence. No doubt, moderation in tbe use of in toxicating drinks is all-sufficient for in dividuals, and nothing more need be de sired for them. But for a great and a desperate evil, as the abuse of intoxicating drink admittedly is, a remedy more power ful and effective seems to be Imperatively called for. Htatlstios prove that a melan choly procession of drunkards is annuall marching to an untltuoly grave to tht bouse of eterulty. Half measures will nol cure this evil; it requires the whole sacri fice of generous souls sufficient in numbet to make the necessary lasting impression on society.

Temperance Notes. Deep drinking means shallow thinking. Drink does not banish care, it invito; and fosters it. Beer glasses are very poor glasses tbroagt which to view the future. Whon the mind, like a tired animal, de sires rest, do not whip it up with fiery stimulants. Drunkenness Is a condition of oblivion tc every duty and responsibility that mac owes either to God or to society. The sober man is comparatively a secure man. He Is secure from the thousand and one temptations that befall the drinking man. . There has never been so little drinking as nt present, and never such a strong tendency toward moderation in quarters where alcoholic indulgence is general, This Is a fact Impossible to controvert, be cause the most careful figures bear out this very hopeful statement. An advertisement reads: "Don't drink doctored whisky." This would be much more sound advice if it wero amended to read: "Don't drink any whisky." According to E. W. Bok, in the Ladies' Home Journal, there has never been a time In America when every indication pointed so strongly to a decrease of Intern perance. Mothers of families have an important mission in temperance matters. Let us hope that tbey may never be found want Ing.

She asked the salesman to show her a certain piece of red cashmere. Then she produoed from her pocket the ont paper pattern - of a child's dresss, and calmly pinned the pieoes to the cloth. The salesman stood po litely by, thinking, if a salesman ever has time to think, that she. desired to ascertain the quantity required for the garment she intended to make, but she didn't intend to make any garment at all. After she had pinned the wholo pattern carefully in place, she took it off aud rolled it up. There was a gleam of triumph in her eye. "Thank you," she said. "That's all I wanted.
