Farm Notes. Fruit, thickly clustered on a branch, lopks very nice, butit is beneficial neither to the tree nor to the owner. Tt is claimed that seeds left in their seed covers till wanted for planting germinate much more certainly than those from which the hulls have been removed. Thin the young fruit where it is growing too thickly. A crowded growth means a dwarf growth. Remember that 100 pounds of large fruit is more marketable than the like weight of small fruit. Before the winter sets init would be well for the farmers to consider the annual loss from leaving the corn- fodder in the fields. Itis an old cus tom, but it entails a heavy waste and loss. To use corn, wheat bran and oats for butter mix as follows by weight: Two parts ‘corn meal, two of bran and one of oats, Always feed clover hay for butter and cornstalks if you can. Silage is the best form for the corn fodder. To thoroughly ripen pears so as to have them soft and juicy, pull them when they will fall from the tree by a touch of the hand, and place them in a dark location until they become mel- low. Pears treated in this manner will be delicious. It is doubtful if it pays to sell hay, even at a high price. Better prices can be obtained for it when itis con- verted into meat or milk, as the manure will then be an item in the profit. The fabor of baling, hauling and shipping of hay should also be added to its cost. During. the warm season reserve your grain for another time. Stock need but little grain in summer. Grass is better for all animals during the warm season than any other food, and they will keep in better condition on such food than when fed on grain. Copperas and gentian together form an excellent tonic for horses. The American Liveryman says: Mix four ounces of each thoroughly in the pow- dered state; keep the mixture tightly shut up in a bex or bottle, and give a tablespoonful of it in the horse's feed at night. To, colts a smaller quantity must be given. Special fertilizers for potatoes have : given wonderful yields ot potatoes. this season. Sandy soils have been found capable of giving large yields when the seed is properly cut and special potaio fertilizers used. It has also been notic- ed that by the vse of fertilizers there is less rot or disease compared with po- totoes grown where barnyard manure has been applied. Canada thistles have been destroyed by sheep, but to secure the best results the thistles should be slightly sprinkled with salt as fast as they appear above ground, which will induce the sheep to eat them close into the roots. As fast as they appear sprinkle more salt. They will gradually lessen in number and finally disappear. The roots con- not live if top growth is prevented. Two steers exhibited at Kansas City weigh over 4000 pounds each, and 50 cents a pound was offered for them but declined, as the owner will exhibit them at the World’s Fair. They are of the Shorthorn breed, and show what may be done with animals of good breeding in place of scrubs. They were also well fed, as feed and breed are necessary to secure the best results. One peculiarity of the Emerald Gem cantaloup is that as soon as it becomes ripe 1t loosens its hold on the vine and rolls away. Until this happens it is not ripe. It does not indicate the de- gree of ripeness by the color of the out- er rind, and itis dark, but as it loosens its hold when ripe, no difficulty is met with in determining the ripe ones from those that are green. It is also one of the best varieties grown: To keep the boys on the farm is a problem under discussion. One method is to make the farm interesting to ‘them. Start the little ones by giving them a few Bantam chicks to raise, and as they become advanced allow a pig or lamb, or even a colt. Bat al- ways allow them the proceeds of their labor. Children appreciate ownership of stock, and the early lessons lead to a deeper interest later on. When you find your barn has be: come too full, and your grain and hay crops ave heavy, it will be better to procure more stock. The farmer who sells his raw material in the shape of some produce, such as meat, milk or batter, receives a profit from two sources. Heis, to a certain exteat, a manufacturer, his animals being the agents for changing his foods into more salable articles, while ¢he refuse pro- ducts (manures) may be used another season. Buckwheat keeps down most annual weeds, and it ripens so quickly after sowing that those which grow among it cannot perfect the seed. Italso has an advantage over most other crops in not furnishing desirable food for wire- worms and white grubs. One or two seasons with it will clear insect ene- mies out, and leave the land richer than before, as if grown year aiter year its scattered seed furnish green manure to keep up the supply of vegetable matter in the soil. The Farmers’ Home Journal talks “hard horse sense” when it advises every farmer should raise less and bet- ter quality of what he does raise. There is one item of expense that he must meet, but which falls upon him accord- ing to quality, and that is transporta- tion ot products to market. As a pound of inferior butter or grain costs as much to market as that which is better, there is consequently less ex- pense for transportation, in proportion to value, on a good article than on the inferior. favor. Chocolate is said to be the favorite drink with women as well as their fav- orite candy. Anna Shaw, the woman preacher, says she wears short hair simply because she was born that way. The Princess Louise, of Schleswig- Holstein, has two bodices made for nearly all ber evening gowns. The Duchess of Westminister is the fortunate possessor of the Nassau dia- mond, which is valued at $185,000. White canvas and white leather shoes are seen upon the feet of the summer girl, and the windows of the best stores are full of them. Mrs. Harrison is having the green room of the White House decorated in Sixteenth Century style. The leading tint is absinthe green. The wages of shop girls in London range from $35 to $40 a year in the | poorest kind of shops, to $250 to $400 in the aristocratic establishments. One who has worn them says that net dresses were invented by the enemy of woman-kind to try her temper and to keep her forever darning the rents in the net. Miss Fisher, of North Carolina, the lady who once wrote many novels under the name of ‘Christian Reid,” is now Mrs. Tiernan and publishes no more. She is the daughter of the Colonel Fisher who gave its name to Fort Fisher. The wife of a well-known naval offi- cer in Washington wears a very hand- gold necklace that once adorned the neck of a Peruvian Princess. The ladys husband took it from the Princess, whose mummified body he found in a Peruvian grave. ‘When a Frenchwoman wears a sailor hat, which is very seldom, she has it of clear white straw, with a scarlet velvet band, but the hat the Parisian likes best is of fluted black tulle, caught in the middle with two pink carnations or two pale yellow roses. Mrs. Ida May Davis, who has been elected a member of the civy school board of Terre Haute, is the first woman in Indiana to hold such ,a position. Though still a young woman, she has been a teacher for ten years, and is the author of considerable literary work. ‘When the ex-Empress Eugenie was asked at Cap Martin, near Mentone, the other day to fill out a census blank, this is how she did it : “Comtesse de Pier- reponds (Marie Fugenie,) sixty-four years of age ; born in Granada, Spain ; naturalized French ; widow ; traveling.” New toilets sets are in opaque white and gold, with the monogram in gold leiters on the side of the pitcher. Others are in nouel shap?, one having an oblong bowl, with the pitcher in most curious shape, low and long, with a broad nose, the whole resting on a brass stand, on which it can be turned, instead of being lifted to pour the water. Some of the handsome black costumes of the season show costly black lace coats in the deep Louis X1V. style open over very rich vests of gold embroidered faille. Some of the vesis are of gold- dotted silk net arranged with a blouse effect ; others are of lustrous corded silk striped with gold gimps, these gimps being made of genuine gold threads. Checked or striped ginghams for misses shcw the waist with the neck cut away, as though a square guimpe were designed to fill it, but instead there will bea full frill of rows of very narrow lace, which is also used in a dozen rows on a pointed cape effect, laid over the top ot a full puffed sleeve, which termi- nates, without trimming, just below the elbow. The new bridesmaid’s present is the lucky slipper brooch, made of gold, with a true lover's knot in jewels on the toe and red enamelled heels. The pinisen- closed in a case, made also'in the shape of a shoe. Another gift, dear io the heart of the maid of honor, isa case of lace pins, usually of half a dozen of the convenient little ornaments, each set with a different colored stone. Rain water, it is well known, is the best cosmetie. A good substitute is to let some orange, lemon or cucumber peel soak 1n water used to wash the face. This ‘need not be especially prepared for | every ablution. Keep a wide-mouthed bottle or jar of it on your toilet stand and use daily for the face. It softens the skin and givesa becoming glow, while healthfully stimulating the action of the skin. Some ingenions person has patented and put on sale a flatiron which espec- ially commends itself to women who board or any who employ dressmakers in their homes. Itis made with an op- ening in the upper part and is hollow inside. Within are placed blocks of a new sort of fuel which comes in little cakes, and when theseare lighted they will burn for six hours and keen the iron well heated all the time, The short woman will have a very sad summer if she hasn't a soul above her garments, Deep, basque jackets, three- quarter capes, frills, and panniers, while very pretty on the tall slight woman, approach the ridiculous on a woman less than five feet four. The chaice lies between being out of fashion or being caricatures of the mode, though occa- sionally a happy compromise is ingen- iously carried out by some exceptionally clever woman. Pithy and Pointed. Earth has no greater joy than the discovery of a quarter in a cast-off’ vest. A greal many people are like car horses. These animals snap and bite at the tow horse when he is helping them up a hill or around a sharp curve. The canvas of the camping-out party is not all that fancy painted it, in a cyclone. The wind does all the blowing about nature at that time. “What value should a woman place upon her complexion I” asks a corres- pondent. You can’t fix a rule in such cases. It depends somewhat upon what she paid for it, There are prajably times in every man’s life j[when he fcels that he would like te cut loose from everything and run, if he only knew of some placa to run to. now glistens in the crown of Queen Vic- toria. Perhaps few treasures have passed through greater vicissitudes, Its origin is lost in the midst of legendary antiquity. It had fallen into the hands of the early Turkish invaders of India, and from them passed to'the moguls. “My sou” said the fumous conqueror of Baber, ‘has won a jewel from the Rahja which 1s valued at half the ex- penses of the whole world |” Later on a Persian conqueror, seeing it gleaming in the turban of Barber’s descendant, ex- claimed with rough and somewhat cost- ly humor, “We will be friends, lets us change our turbans in pledge of friend- ship.” The exchange, it need hardly be said, was made. From Persian, the jewel was passed by conquest to Af- ghan hands. Shah Sooja, being an exile and a prisoner among the Sikhs, was in retaan relieved of the jewel by Runject Sing. This prince on his deathbed was almost persuaded by a wily Brahmin to make his salvation certain by sending the treasure to adore the idol of Jugger- naut. After the British wars with the Sikhs and the annexation of the Pun- jaub under the Laurences, the stone found its way into the possession of the Punjaub Board, and finally into the Tower of London, where the crown jew- els are kept, Of Course It's a Woman. “The Land that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.” The mother, sitting beside and rocking the cradle, often singing her sad lullaby, may be thus shaping, as it were, the des- tinies of nations. But if diseases, conse- quent on motherhood, have borne her down, and sapped her life, how mourn- ful will be her song. To cheer the moth- er, brighten her life, and brighten her song, Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, has, after long experience, compounded a remedy which he has called his “Favorite Pre- scription,’’ because ladies preferred it to all others. He guarantees itto cure nervousness, neuralgic pains, irregular- ities, weakness, or prolapsus, headache, backache, or any of the ailments of the female organs. What he asks ‘is, that the ladies shall give it a fair trial, and satisfaction is assured. Money refund- ed, if it doesn’t give satisfaction. ——Few people know of a little ro- mance connected with the early life of Emperor Frederick in which Ttaly’s lovely Queen, Marguerite, figured as the heroine. ’Tis said that in his youth Frederick formed a deep attachment for this magnificent woman, then Princess of Savoy, and, being at the timeen- gaged to Umberto, it was never known whether or not the love was recipro- cated ; in the lateryears, and a short while after the Emperor’s sad death, among his private effects was found, carefully put away, -a crumbled piece of lace, sail to have been a fragment of the wedding cown of Marguerite torn from her robes while dancing on her wedding night. Hg Dio Nor CaLL.-—The man who tried Dr. Sage’s Catarth Remedy and was sure of $500 reward offered by the proprietors for an incurable case, never called for his money. Why not? O, be- cause he got cured! - He was sure of two things: (1). That his catarrh could not be cured. (2) That he would have that $500. He is now sure of one thing, and that is, that his catarrh is gone completely. So he is out $500, of course. The makers of Dr. Sage’s Ca- tarrh Remedy have faith in their ability to cure the worst cases of Nasal Catarrh no matter of how long standing, and attest their faith a by standing reward of $500, offered for many years past, for an incurable case of this loathsome and dangerous disease, The Remedy is sold by druggists, at only 50 cents. Mild soothing, cleansing, deodorizing, autisep- tic, and healing. ‘Wut SpecracLes Have DonNg.— Eyeglasses are commonly ground on with equal convexity on both sides. The material for their manufacture is both glass and a kind of stone called Brazilian pebble. It is really a rock crystal of very fine quality and does not resemble & “pebble” in any particular. Spectacles have alleviated more misery than all other human agencies, because there is no sorrow equal to that caused by impaired sight. ——1I have had catarrh for twenty years, and used all kinds of remedies without relief. Mr. Smith, druggist, of Little Falls, recommended Ely’s Cream Balm. The eftect of the first applica- tion was magical, it allayed the inflam- mation and the next morning my head was as clear as a bell I am convinced its use will effect a permanent cure. It is soothing and pleasant, and I strongly urge its use by all sufferers. ——One fact is worth a column of rhetoric said an American statesman. It is a fact, established by the testimony of thousands ot people, that Hood’s Sarsa- parilla does cure scrofula, salt rheum, and other diseases or affections arising from C{aupure state or «tow condition of the blood. It also overcomes that tired feeling, creates a good appetite, and gives strength to every part of the sys- tem. Try it. QurstTioNn ABOUT GROWTH.—Why do we attain a certain size and weight of body and then cease to grow ? Why is one person limited in stature to a few inches while another stretches up several feet 7. Why is it that one at maturity weighs not above fifty pounds and an- other attains a weight ten times as great ? These are all questions of growth. Business Notices.
