FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN,
shirt waists, or shirts, to use the English
name, as most of the shops now do, isa
severe, rather skimpy -garment, with no
fullness in the neck or the shonlders, and
bardly a vestige of the pouch effect at the
belts. It fits closely and has one or two
stitched pockets in the front. The sleeves
are small and are gathered into narrow
cuffs.
Another very good shirt waist model,
says the New York Evening Post, hasa few
gathers at the neck, the back being left
quite plain. A box plait finishes the front,
in which the studs or buttons which fasten
the waist are placed. After the garment
has been made and the sleeves sewed ina
scalloped yoke piece is stitched on, crossing
the back and covering the shoulder seams
and upper part of the sleeve. This is an
extremely good model to use for flannel
waists.
FARM NOTES.
—Sheep scab ie one of the most serious
drawbacks to the sheep industry of the
country and results in enormous financial
losses. The losses are due to shedding of
the wool, failure of condition and the death
of the sheep. Common scab is exceedingly
contagious from one sheep to another and
may in some cases show itself within about
a week after healthy sheep have been ex-
posed to infection. The contagion may be
direct by contact of one sheep with another
or indirect from tags of wool or from fences
posts, eto., against which scabby sheep
have rubbed or from the places where the
sheep have heen ‘‘bedded down.”
By far the most rational and satisfactory
and the cheapest method of curing scab is
by dipping the sheep in some liquid which
will kill the parasites. The dipping pro-
cess is as follows :
First.—Select a-dip containing. sulphur.
If a prepared ‘‘dip’’ is used which does not
contain sulphur it is always safer to add
about sixteen and a half pounds of sifted
flowers of sulphur to every hundred gallons
of water, especially if after dipping, the
sheep have to be returned to the old pas-
tures.
Second.—Shear all the sheep at one time
and immediately after shearing confine
them to one half the farm for from two to
four weeks. Many persons prefer to dip
immediately after shearing.
Third.—At the end of this time dip every
sheep, and every goat also if there are any
on the farm.
Fourth.—Ten days later dip the entire
flock a second time.
Fifth.—After the second dipping place
the flock on a portion of the farm from
which they have been excluded during the
previous four or five weeks.
Six.—Use the dip ata temperature of
100 degrees F.
Seventh.—Keep each sheep in the dip for
two minutes by the watch—do not guess at
the time—and duck its head at least once.
Eighth.—Be careful in dipping rams as
they are more likely to be overcome in the
dip than are the ewes.
Ninth.—Injury may, however, result to
pregnant ewes, which must on this account
be carefully handled. Some farmers ar-
range a stage with sides to hold pregnant
ewes, which is lowered carefully into the
vat and raised after the proper time.
Tenth.—In case a patent or proprietary
dip, especially an arsenical dip, is used the
directions given on the package should be
carried ous to the letter.
A small portable vat suitable for use in
dipping flocks is made. When not in use,
this vat may be conveniently stored away,
and it may be drawn from place to place,
as desired. The dimensions here given may
be varied according to individual taste hy
making the vas longer, broader or deeper.
A convenient size will be 9 feet long by 2}
feet broad at the top, 9 inches broad at the
bottom and 3} to 5 feet deep. The floor
measures 9 inches broad by 4 feet long.
From a foot above one end of the floor a
slant with cross cleats rises to the top end
of the vat. The sheep are dropped’ in by
band, one at a time, at the deep end and
after being held in the dip for two minutes
are allowed to leave the vat at the slanting
end. This plan of vat may be easily modi-
fied, if desired, so as to have a small drip-
ping platform attached. In this modified
plan an inclined platform is added to the
vat, and a removable skeleton box is made
to fit over it. A gate may be placed at the
deeper part of the slant. is should
swing toward the exit. While one sheep is
being dipped another sheep is allowed to
ascend the incline into the small dripping
pen. When the sheep is sufficiently drain-
ed the gate is opened, it leaves the pen, the
gate is closed, the sheep in the vat enters
the pen, and another sheep is placed in the
vat.—Drs. Salmon and Stile in Farmers’
Bulletin 159.
It will surprise many readers to be told,
on the authority of Dr. Katherine G.
Townsend, writing in the O3tober Every-
body’s Magazine, that the average number
of medical women graduates each year is
about nine hundred, and it is estimated
that there are nearly six thousand women
physicians practicing in this country. Years
ago a medical woman had a bard time to
make ends meet with the proceeds ‘of her
labor. At this period each large city will
show the names of several who are earning
five, ten, fifteen and twenty thousand dol-
lars annually. Fifty five years ago this
country had not one woman physician. Col-
leges would not graduate them, men abom-
inated them and women had a contempt fo
them. :
Some dress skirts are but gigantic ruffles.
The bolero is often but asection of a flounc-
ing. Elbow sleeves must be finished by a
ruffle. Knee depth ruffles often rejoice in
shirred tops. Deep collars are not much
inclined to ‘‘ruffly’”’ effects.
a
A deep accordioned ruffle is suitable for
anything from a skirt to a lining for an
evening coat.
Very few yokesappear on imported dress
skirts. :
Fall models, gathered and plaited, are in
high favor.
White sheer soft fabrics are graceful in
full effects, heavy ones are seldom so.
Flaring flounces are not done for, as there
is no hetter way of obtaining foot fullness.
Overskirt, or tunic effects, are nothing
so novel as they sound. These having a
deep point and a seam back and front.
Many double and triple box plaited
skirts are oot on the straight, the great
amount of fullness being cut away from
underneath the hips. :
‘ The second or permanent teeth are thirty
two in namber. Wisdom teeth sometimes
do not appear until the twenty fifth year,
or even later. Good teeth and a sweet
breath are indispensable; no one can be at-
tractive without them, no master how reg-
ular the features, brilliant the complexion,
faultless the form, musical the voice,grace-
ful the motions. How to brush the teeth
is a matter of great importance. The best
motion is to work the brush up and down,
80 as to force the bristles in between the
teeth, imitating the action of a toothpick.
Warm water and oagtile soap should be
used occasionally and a dentifrice daily to
neutralize any acidity of the secretions and
aid in retaining the polish.
Some people will not understand that a
fish, fowl or meat salad is positively vulgar
for dinner, being a luncheon or supper dish,
or & dish for a tea ora reception. Green
salad, lettuce usually, is served at dinner
alter meat.
Sleeves play an important part in the
construction of antumn costumes. Appar-
ently, all reports to the contrary, large
sleeves are going to be fashionable all win-
ter. Fortunately the present sleeves are
exceedingly attractive, because, while
large, they follow the shape of the arm
above the elbow in a most attractive man-
ner. They are much larger, too, below the
elbow and are finished with large bows or
raffles, and the old fashioned undersleeve
is coming into favor again. I$ isquitea
fad so have, even with dark gowns, under-
sleeves of white and of materials that can
be laundered—lace or embroidery or fine
mauslin—so that soon it will be necessary,
as in bygone days, to bavea stock of un-
dersleeves, and to. embroider them is un-
doubtedly to be the fashionable fancy work
for the coming year.
A great waris being waged as to the
width and style of the skirt to be worn this
autumn and winter. There are two or
three separate and distinot styles of skirts
that call for a great deal of” material and’
thas makes the wearer look very large un-
less she is unnaturally slender. Then there
is a style of skirt that fits very closely to
the knees and then flares. Either of these
styles exaggerated ie hideous and fortu-
nately the dressmakers are beginning to
realize that this year’s styles require an im-
mense amount of modifying to make them
attractive.
. Meanwhile a good rule is to choose the
more becoming style. The skirts laid in
wide hox pleate caught down so thas |
do not flare until nearly at the feet are al-
ways attractive even in the heavy materials,
while the flonnced skirts are not good in
these same heavy materials and should be
lef$ rather to lighter weight fabrics. Silks
and cheviots especially look best made up
on simple models. Skirts with yokes have
been so popular that there is danger of the
fashion suddenly going ous.in tbe middle
of the winter. For the moment, however,
they are a safe investment, provided the
yoke is carefully fitted and, as a rule, made
separate from the lower part of the skirt
and always with a point in front—either a
round or a sharp one. . The flounce of the
skirt can be put on below the yoke and can
be as full or as scant as desired. or rather
as is hecoming. 3
—While onions for bunching in spri
should have made considerable root an
top growsh by late October, I always plant
a in: November or December, which
provides a snocession in the spring. Long
ight rows are run with the hand plow,
then bulbs the size of pickling onions are
strewn in rows. They must all be set ap
on their roots by hand and covered with
the wheel plow, for if'they should be cov-
ered as dropped they would have a crooked
top and it would be impossible to make a
straight bunch for the sales table. Late
planted onions should be ready. to. market
along in May, just as those planted early
in the fall have all been marketed. These
late planted must have some course litter
strewn ‘along the rows; they then make
rootgrowth all-winter.- f
—The mistake is often made of thinking
that concentrated feeds like gluten meal,
oil meal, eto., are valuable only for the ani-
mals to which they are fed. As arule, a
judicious use of these feeds is profitable,
for their food value alone, but when itis
remembered that much value lies in the
manure from animals given those feeds, it
will be seen that the problem assumes a
very different aspecs. The maintenance of
the fertility of our farms depends upon the
judicious use of these materials and the
careful preservation and application of sta-
ble manure. Large amounts of fertilizing
elements are sold each year, by the present
method of selling grain to the elevators, in-
stead of feeding to some kind of stock. The
time will come when this will have to he
given attention.
—Ventilation of stables in winter is a
matter which requires judgment. When a
stable is ventilated it means that the cold
air comes in. How to ventilate is a prob-
lem, both for dwelling houses and stables.
A window left open, or a top flue to admit
air, may serve the purpose as long as the
wind is blowing from a certain direction,
but when the wind changes the result will
bea direct cold draught on the animals
that may cause pneumonia. Cracks and
orevices in the walls are more dangerous
than open windows. ,
Shirring is often noticeable on fall dress-
es made of soft and clinging materials like
that charming new one christened peau de
laine.

Sardines are Scarce.
Unfavorable Reports Both From the Maine Fsheries
and French Coast. ;
Reports just received from all along the
Maine coast show that the small herring
which we cure under the name of sardines
are unusuoally scarce. The factories say
that not enough fish are caught daily to
supply the immediate demands of the
trade. Not a case of sardines has yet been
pus away for winter or spring supplies.
Similar reports are coming from the
French coast, The sardine fishermen of
the coasts of Brittany and Vendee are in
great distress and say that their industry
for this year is ruined.
When the first news was sent through
France on May 19th that the sardine fish-
ery of the year was likely to prove a fail-
ure the Chamber of Commerce of Bordeaux
appointed a committee to inquire into the
condition of the industry. The committee
bas made a preliminary epost, in which,
while confessing its inability to explain the
scarcity of sardines, it says that, in ite
opinion, the sad condition of the fishermen
is partly due to themselves.
They have never adopted improved
modern appliances for catching sardines,
but have clung to antiquated methods and
outfit. If they had been up to the times
the committee believes that the catoh
would have been sufficient at least to avert
the almost complete failure of the season’s
work.
The committee Suggesie that better ap-
pliances be at once introduced and also
that fishing be stopped on the banks that
are favorite resorts of the sardine during
the spawning season.
The sardine fisheries along the coasts of
Spain and Portugal are said to be yielding
well. These sardines are regarded as 1n-
ferior to those of the French coast, but they
may prove to be very useful this. year in
eking ont the diminished supply of the
French and American fisheries.

Whole Masonic Lodge Gave Grafted
Skin,
To Save a Scalded Wreck Victim Fraternal Order
Sacrificed Cutlcle.
A remarkable case of skin grafting has
been accomplished in the Mublenburgh
hospital, Plainfield, N. J., and the patient,
Wilson Frederioks, chief clerk to C. E.
Topping;-general manager of - the United
States Express company, is now well on
the road to recovery, much to the surprise
of the medical and surgical profession here
and elsewhere. ;
Mr. Fredericks was one of the victims of
the Westfield, N. J., railroad wreck on the
Philadelphia & Reading system, when a
score of persons loss their lives. He was
found on of a locomotive, being slowly
scalded to death by escaping steam. His
life was despaired of.
Only one thing was to be done if Fred-
erick’s life was to be saved, and: that was
skin grafting. This was almost a forlorn
hope, because they was hardly a square
inch of skin on his body. More than 150
employes of the United States Expresscom-
pany imm-?iately volunteered to give
pieces of skin for the grafting. Among
those were men who occupied high official
positions.
Among others who volunteered to sacri
fice some of their cuticle were the members
of Anchor lodge, No. 149, F. and A. M., of
that city. :
The grafting bas proved snocese, and
the young man is able to be up and around.
It is said that this is the only case on. rec-
ord where new skin has been grafted with-
out leaving a scar on the entire surface of a
person’s body.

—The best way to convert cider into
vinegar is to add some of the cider to old
vinegar, which hastens the formation of
acetic acid. When vinegar is frequently
drawn from a barrel more air enters, hence
if the bunghole is left open and covered
with wire, the cider will become vinegar
much sooner than when the barrel is kept
completely closed. New cider should not
be added to the vinegar, as it may ferment
too much.

The waist has a very broad donble box
pleas down the centre of the front, fullness
being supplied at either side by several
shirrings across the shoulder. These also
confine the tops of the sleeves, which fall
in a puff of moderate size. The ocufls also
exhibit shirring, and there is a plain piece
extending some distance up the front ream,
which is trimmed with applique embroid-
ery, as is alao the centre of the double hox
pleat. A dress of this kind is very sunita-
ble for wear during bright antumn days,
when wraps are superfluous. It is plain
yet very pretty.
