Unless he is one out of a thousand he sees instead of the green vel- vet sward of his dream a ragged surface dotted with weeds and disfigured with bare patches. If he is of a hopeful nature he will set himself at work to repair the damage of the summer and begin to dream of what the lawn will look like in the spring. This is the time when fall lawn making operations begin. His hopefulness and his industry are both praiseworthy. There are in nature few things more beautiful than a perfect lawn. Yet this discretion is not alto- gether to be conmended. While it is true that grass if left to itself will grow within certain limits almost anywhere in the crevices of stone pavements or wher- ever there is a pinch of earth, it is also a fact that if your object is merely to spread a carpet pleasing to the eye over a certain space of bare earth, you can accom- plish it about as easily by growing flowers as by growing a lawn, and about as cheap- ly, too. Boastful Englishmen used to tell visit- ing Americans who admired their lawns that anybody could have one as good mere- ly by cultivating it for several centuries. The same statement is repeated occasional- ly in the United States. As a matter of fact, the American lawn mower is of vastly greater importance in getting a fine lawn than the cultivation of centuries. In the first place, a moderately rich soil is essential toa good lawn, because grass needs a great deal of nourishment. If the nourishment is not already in the soil it must be supplied in the form of fertili- gers. The proper fertilizer to use is a study by itself, depending upon the de- ficiencies of the soil and various other con- ditions. Important as this food question is, it receives in most cases only casual at- tention. That is one reason why grass does not grow as it is ex ected to. In the second place, the topsoil should be broken up so finely that ina handful there are few lumps of any size, and the subsoil should also be broken up. This is chiefly to secure perfect drainage for the grass and is a part of lawnmaking which is almost invaribly slighted. As a rule the subseil is left undisturbed, so that water may collect there to the detriment of the tender roots. The treatment of the topsoil is msually limited to breaking the ploughing or spading and then raking or harrowing the surface until it is fine. Until the topsoil is made fine to a depth of one foot or fifteen inches at least, the best results in a lawn are scarcely to be expected. Imperfect treat- ment of the soil is the second reason why so many lawns are not what their owners would like them to be. With ordinary workmen it is almost impossible to have the ground properly prepared. The troubles of lawnmakers are caused largely by neglect of these two prelimi- nary operations, and the difficulty of mak- ing a good lawn may be judged by the care with which they must be conducted. The ground being thus prepared, the ques- tion of supplying the grass. is reached. This may be done either with sods or with seeds. Sodding is the quicker method, but it is open to the serious objection that good sods are very difficult to procure, un- less the grass has been specially grown, and then the cost is high. Ordinary sod finest lawn effects are obtained by using only a single variety. A lawn can be grown from seed within a short period, and experts regard the re- sult as more satisfactory than that given by sodding. As for the selection of the seed used, there is little room for choice under ordinary conditions in this part of the country. Experts advise against using the mixtures sold by the seedmen, The best lawns consist of a single variety of grass. The most that can be said for the mixtures is that one of the varieties con- tained in them will be found to be better suited to the locality than any of the others and will eventually crowd the others out; but the same result could he accomplished in a shorter time by using that special kind of seed. For general use the choice is practically limited to Kentucky blue grass, Rhode Island bent and creeping bent. The su- premaecy for color is usually awarded to the deep rich emerald green of the blue The Rhode Island bent is finer in texture and superior in turf-making qual- ities. It is the grass that the lawns of the millionaires at Newport are generally made. It costs two or three times as much as the blue grass, which make the latter preferred, as a rule, other differences be- ing considerable. It is often the practice to mix with the blue grass some redtop clover or some white Dutch clover. After the grass has begun to grow there comes an anxious and exciting time for the proprietor in fighting weeds. Eternal vig- ilance is the price of a fine lawn. So the weeds have been flourishing all summer long in your lawn, which is scat- tered with bare patches where you have been pulling them up. This is the time now when you should rescue these bare patches, spreading over them some moder- ately good earth to encourage the growth of the grass. If the grass gets a good start in the fall before cold weather it will live through the winter and begin growing in the spring before the weeds have a chance to establish themselves. Several years of suoh constant sustained effort will give you the lawn you want. It will takea lot of patience, but the result will repay the work. Unless the lawn is in very shape it will hardly be worth while to at- tempt to make it over again wholly, even if ihe ground has not been prepared prop- erly. : Unless the ground is unusually rich it is necessary to give your lawn dressings of fertilizer in the fall and spring. The kind of fertilizer to be used depends upon the needs of the ground. You can generally get as much contrary advice from experts on the subject as you want. = As a rule, fall dressing of clear sheep manure and an’ early spring dressing of unleached bard- wood ashes should procure good results. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. It takes two for a Kiss, Only one for a sigh; Twain by twain we marry, One by one we die. Joy is a partnership, Grief weeps alone ; Many guests had Cana, Gethsemane had one. — Frederick Lawrence Knowles. When fall comes, outing hats will be very popular. Fashion is particularly partial;to those of light colors, and the broad brimmed beavers and felts are trim- med with velvet, wings and breasts of harmonizing tones. All white outing hats, and white with a scarf of delicate hue, will be prominent in the autumnal millinery exhibits. Women as they grow older are troubled with the deposit of flesh aboat the neck and chin. This can be prevented, or at least decreased writes Dr. Grace Peckham Murray in Collier’s, by exercise with the head, especially with the backward motion, which puts the neck muscles on the stretch. After repeating these a number of times the motions from side to side can be used, and also the rotation of the head. These muscles are seldom put into action by wo- men, so that they become flaccid and the fat is deposited in them. A small amount of exercise daily regularly persisted in will accomplish much more than one would be- lieve. If unable to take as much general exercise as is necessary to keep in good bodily condition have massage twice a week, if not more. It would be better to deny one’s self some other things in order to have this great aid to the maintenance of health, not to mention looks. The most conspicuous part of the belt, now, is the back, on which the slides of large dimensions are revived, and very ornate designs. The pin in front is often much smaller than the slide. The barette has passed through several developments, until it now consists of a broad band of tortoiseshell, ecrescent-shap- ed, three inches long and three-quarters of an inch wide, shaped to correspond with the curve of the head; it conceals a large hairpin underneath, which is intended to keep refractory locks in order. The girl in the linen gown is everywhere. Sometimes she trims it with linen color lace. More often she tucks it daintily and adds a belt and collar of blue or pink or flaming scarlet, which ever ig most becom- ing. And if she goes in to be severely chic she gives but a touch of black velvet. To banish fleas spray your room with the following solution : Two ounces of the oil of penny royal, two ounces of the oil of sassafras and four ounces of alcohol. To preserve eggs, dissolve in a gallon of water one pound of quick lime and allow it to stand for a day. Then pour the wa- ter, 80 as to keep it clear of sediment, into a stone crock. Carefully wash the eggs and put them in it. In taking them out be carefnl not to crack them, for if one is cracked in the water it will spoil the whole lot. Sleeves have a generous fullness at the top, sufficient to take away a flat, uube- coming effect; they should stand out a lit- tle from the shoulder point, but not above it. Sleeves with a row of small buttons on the outside seams to the elbow, with puffings above it,are becoming to thin peo- ple, who should never adopt the style of sleeve that bas much flare or bagginess at the bottom. Tuckings around the sleeve, transparent materials or rows of narrow black velvet ribbon around sleeves of net, or malines lace or mousseline give the ef- fect of plumpness of the arm. Quite an appreciable number of plain soft white muslin sailor collars are being worn, simply hemstitched at the edge and finished by a knotted cravat of the same. These look exceptionally well on a lawn shirt which surmounts a linen skirt en suite, the whole representing an ideal cos- tume for the girl of genuine boating pro- elivities. The ruffle is doomed, according to the latest report from Paris. It has been worn by everybody and consequently the “haut monde’’ bas dropped it. rn MAYONNAISE DRESSING. — Break an egg, separating the white and the yoke carefully, aud to the latter add the juice of a lemon, half a saltspoonful each of white pepper and a saltspoonful of salt. Stir all together and begin adding salad oil—this must always he of the best quality—a drop at a time. After half a dozen drops have been stirred in (use a fork in stirring), increase the quantity cautiously. Putin now from three to six drops at a time, and continue with this until the dressing begins to thicken. When the dressing is so thick that it will not stir easily add a little vinegar, not more than thirty drops at first. Return then to the oil, and add this'and the vine- gar alternately until the dressing is of the thickness of ‘double cream. The propor- tion of oil is in the ratio of a pint to a tablespoonful of the vinegar. All the utensils and the ingredients must be ice- cold in order to secure absolute success. The woman who really considers the art of dress spares no expense in the matter of stays. Just now some. of our elegantes are investing in a new style of stay, which gives the straight front, rounded hips and small waist which we all desire. Farther- more, it is very low in the back, aod in the front it is cut to form corset and peti- bad | coat bodice in one, in order that a thin blouse may be worn without a slip bod- ice. To my mind, the smartest frocks of all were of linen, and its twin sister pique. The first is worn very much more than the second, although some charming little gowns were to be seen in finely-striped pique, both in white and ciel blue, one bodice in the latter color having rather an elaborate collar of itself, edged with a coarse Maltese lace, and a transparent vest of the same. The skirt of this frock was simply tucked on each hip and fell tight to ‘Bone meal, lime and well-rotted manure ‘are also used among other things. It is, «of course, understood that the grass should be kept constantly cut and watered when- ever necessary. : s— ~ ——John Slater, of Pine Flats, Indiana county, by a peculiar accident, lost a valu- able cow last week. In an attempt to knock a fy off her head,a hind boof caught .on one of her horns.’ The cow was found the knees, where it was met by the inevit- able shaped flounce, finished with two strappings. The bodice pouched well over the waistband in the front and a little at ‘the baek, after the approved Russian style of the moment. i ‘Try making your own extract of vanilla ‘for home use if you want to be sure you ‘ave using a pure article; two vanilla beans, balf a piu of aleohiol and balf a pint of boiled and cooled or distilled water will teen unable to loosen the hoof. give you a pint of extract for the cost of hall a pint as purchased.

In his struggle for these a lie offered its service. “I cannot go with a lie,”’ said Con- science. “I like you Conscience,’ said the man, “hut I must get on. I can’t kill you, I will just put you to sleep for a time.” Conscience slept. One day a frand offered to help the man in his struggle for wealth. Conscience said, “I only go where honor goes.”’ But the man needed money sorely. “I must have it,’’ he said. ‘‘Rest you here awhile with my honor.” And Conscience slept. Then cruel injustice came and said, “Use me and I will give you this fame you crave.” But Conscience said, ‘‘You dare not, for when you rob the widow and the orphan, when you ruin you opponent, then I will ‘ory out.”’ Still the man said, ‘I’m getting on now, I will be unjust for this time. Be still my Conscience and sleep a little longer. And Conscience slept. The years went by. The man was rich and famous. In a beautiful garden stood his magnificent mansion. Men envied and praised him. It is midnight, still and dark. Back and forth, back and forth, across the heavy car- pet paces the man through the weary hours of darkness.

Scott, Paid $2000 for Board and Lodging for President and Mrs. McKinley. Bill Was for the Time When Latter was Serious- ly It in San Francisco, “Mr. Scott Asked $500 Additional for Chef Services, but Committee Would Not Allow it. Mr. Henry T. Scott, president of the Union Iron Works, San Francisco million- aire and builder of the bulldog battleship Oregon and the later Ohio, is a thrifty man. He does not believe that the honor of entertaining President and Mrs. McKinley at his home during the two weeks’ serious illness of the lady of the White House is sufficient to balance the expenditure of good money he made in so doing: This appears in the published repokt of the finance committee which had the en- tertainment and reception of the distin- guished visitors here to witness the lauuch- ing of the Ohio in charge. This report shows that for the two weeks’ visit at his home, Mr. Scott pre- sented a bill of $2500 to the committee. After they had audited it they struck off one charge of $500 for a chef aud sent a check for $2000 for the shipbuilder. They say they really could not “stand for’’ such an expensive chef, and Mr. Scott will hase to pay him out of his own pocket. The charge has created no end of talk, mostly humorous. Mr. Scott’s income is supposed to be nearly half the amount he charged, each day. The suggestion has been made that the committee reopen the account and, after ascertaining the number of Scotts and their friends wha’ were entertained at the same time, charge them to the head of the house at the rate of 40 or 50 cent a day, thus making. another deduction. Mr. Scott, when asked about the affair declined absolutely to talk. ——The military short coat for men, which early in the summer had just a sug- gestion of a waist and a slight flare of the skirts, has been so modified by young men who are extremest in clothes that it has be- come a caricature of a man’s coat. A man who was graduated from walking parts on the stage into an income and leisure by matrimony appeared on Broadway yester- day in a suit of black-striped flannel with a coat so military that it suggested the waist of 4 woman’s dress. It was very short, cut in decidedly around the waist and so flaring around the skirt that it sug- gested a flounce trimming to finish it. The ex-actor’s trousers were so loose around the hips that they might easily have en- circled two more of his size and at the bot- tom they narrowed to a size just large enough to permit him to thrust his feet through. It was evidence of the fact that there were others who dressed in this fashion that no one turned around to look at these grotesque clothes as the wearer passed by. CT ASTOUNDED THE EprTor.—Editor 8. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C., was once immensely surprised. “Through long suffering from dyspepsia,’’ he writes, ‘‘my wife was greatly ran down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great dis- tress from her stomach, but she tried Elec- trio Bitters which helped her at once, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well. It’s a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver.” For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach and liver troubles it’s a positive, guaranteed cure.

How many of us realize what are the “dominions over the seas?’ How many of us know that King Edward reigns over an empire vaster thanany over which any man has reigned since the be- ginning of time? On one continent, on a hundred peninsulas, on 500 promontories,a thousand lakes, 2,000 rivers and 10,000 is- lands, King Edward is the name which is above all other earthly names. Queen Victoria ascended the throne of an empire embracing 8,329,000 square miles; she handed it down to King Edward with 3,000,000 miles; added to it. Edward VII, rules today over an empire three times as big as Europe, and the English speaking people control one third of the area and population of the globe. S— A Little Known Philanthropist. Henry Dolan, a. maulti-millionaire and philanthropist of whom New York knew little, died alone last Sunday at his home in New York. He left $8,000,000, bat -| there were no friends at his bedside save the negroes he had befriended all their lives. There was not even any friend to make arrangements for his funeral, and the details were attended to by his old valet, William Lemonia. All his vast fortune, it is understood, is to go to his niece, Mary L. Ds Forrest, of Irving, Marshail county, an. She is the daughter of his only brother and is an old woman now with several grown sons and daughters. Mr. Dolan was past 80 and eccentric. He was also philan- thropic, the negroes being his special favor- ites when it came to dispensing charity. and he always gave with a free hand. It is estimated that he gave away hun- dreds of thousands of dollars, butno one ever heard of it. He never carried a trumpet to announce his good deeds. He was best known and probably will be re- membered by many as the man who looked like Bismarck. He was a perfect double of the great German statesman and was more than six feet in height. Up to the time he was stricken last fall he had an up- right and commanding figure. Corn Timbales.—Grate the corn from the ears.

Set in a baking pan with enough water in to come as high as the corn mixture, but not enough to boil over inside. Cover with a sheet of buttered pa- per and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes.
