More worry, more vexation, more dissatisfaction. —A young lamb will soon become ohill- ed if it gets away from its dam, aed often she will not own is when it is put back. —Apply kerosene to the roots with a oloth or swab every two weeks daring warm weather to kill the red spider lice. Respect the ben. She may cackle fool ishly sometimes, bat she adds much to the comfort aud prosperity of the farm home. —Lambs fed grain before weaning will be ready for market four weeks before lambs receiving no grain before weaning. —Change the straw in the pig pen often in cold, wet weather. Anything bat a wet, half-frozen bed to lie in, even for —Keep the poultry house clean and neat and your efforts will be amply re- warded by the ege basket and kind words from your friends. —Remember that the cows are tender from having been shut up in the barn so long, and do your best to shield them from the hard March winds. —A Pennsylvania lady received $110 for a single waluut iree which grew on her farm. It was shipped to Germany, where it will be used as veneering for furniture. —If any of your hogs are getting erook- ed legs you may be sure that they are in too cramped quarters. Give them more | room to walk around in, especially on the ground. —Test the eggs on the seventh day, and remove the infertiles, also those containing dead germs. Test again on the fourteenth day and removeall hat those holding live | chicks. —When baying clover, alfalfa or grass seed, ask for a guaranteed analysis and test. If your dealer cannot or will not furnish such a tess, his seed is not above enspicion. — Alter the chicks are three weeks old, there is very listle danger of overfeeding. Then, if other conditions are righs, the more they eat of a variety of feed, the faster they grow. —To have finely-colored frais it is neces. sary to have plenty of light. A dressing of wood ashes, or potash, around the base of the tree, will also help considerably to im- prove the color. —Next to pure air, water is the cheapest thing w- can supply our poultry. Do vot forget that it muss be given iv order to get eges. Reduce the quantity and the egg yield will go with is. ~The impression is growing that no ani- mal intended for beef should be carried be- yond the 2-year period of lile, or years at most. The steer that cannot be finished at these ages, or is not, cannot be relative- ly profitable. —A herd of goats will clear the under- brash from a farm in a very short rime. For the last five vears a herd of 40 goats in the vicinity of Lawrenceville, Ind., bas been eating and working on different farms. In that time the animals have changed owners ten times. —Pigs are more apt to he “‘rooters’ in | spring, when the ground is soft, than thay are at any other time of the year. Much of this can he prevented by feeding regu- larly with coal, charcoal, ashes or other mineral matter. Ringing the hogs should be resorted to in extreme cases. —A French naturalist asserts that if the world shon!d become birdless man conld pot inhabit it after nine years’ time, in spite of all the sprays and poisons that could be manufactured for the destruction of insects. The insects and slugs would simply eat all the orchards and crops in thas time. —The San Jose ecale is the insect that should he sought out and fought at this season of the year. It is a soft-bodied in- sect protected by a waxy covering, which can be penetrated only by very corrosive chemicals. Owing to injury to foliage, these chemicals must be used in winter, or when the trees are dormant. —For white diarrhoea in fowls she fol- lowing is recommended: A teaspoonful of castor oil, followed by five grains of rhu- barb aod 10 grains of carbonate of soda, or a grain of opium. During the attack and for a little time after its abatement, the bird should ke fed on soft food and bave no vegetables.

The oversoul of Life, which men call God The all in all unbounded Divine, In the mind, the soul and the heart. There are whispers in one of the French dressmaking departments which more thao once has off in a change of style that Si Wis to be Sutsiautially wider and daytime gowns, at least, lines are to be longer. The plaited skirt is even thought to be a candidate of no mean pre- tensions for the coming season. For evening wear there is every variety of choice in she length of sleeve. Is way be quite shurs, or it may reach hall-way between shoulder and elbow, or be lovg enough to completely cover the arm and a shisd of the band. This last is seen in the wonderful amethyst gown worn by one charming womau. Is closely outlives the aim and curves | over she band, covering it almost to the | knuckles. A fault to be guarded against in all sleeves is tightuess which compresses | the mascles. Not ouly is this compiesion | diagreeable aud uncomfortable in iwell, | bus it makes the hinds very red and hos, on account of the swollen veins. No- | body admires red hands, snd bot ones are extremely disagreeable to the tooch. The rule for length of sleeve should depend ou she beauty or otherwise of the arm. Is it necessary tv explain that she short sleeve should be reserved for the | white and well shaped: the loug for the | bouy aud for the fas and red? A growing ivclination to wear white is | apparent. White was onoe regarded as | the speoial privilege of youth. Now, with a clearer knowledge of the values of color and a better realization of the importance of surroundings, we indulge our natural tastes. Perhaps the influence of the period under which our fashion is passing has something to do with this, for the women who amused themselves at Trianon used white freely and without stint. Be that as it may, white gowns, and white generally, will be more worn this coming season than ever. White cloth in a variety of makes, satin charmense, the cashmere and white serge, in an infioite variety of qualities and thickness, will come in for much attention from artists in dress, As to the lingerie gown, its importance in the wardrobe cannot be questioned. It is one of the most usefal things we have, | and, whether worn ontside or indoors, per- | mits so mueh individual taste and charm is cuntrest that it is quite indispensa- ble. — First, the collar. High or low, which is it to be? Both! Either will be fashion- ahle--it depends entirely npou the wearer. The young girl or woman with a pretty neck will undoubtedly favor the charming Dateh collar. The new Dutch collars are prettier than ever, whether of linen, hand- embroidered or entirely of Irish crochet or a combination of the two. Others are of fine lawn, daintily trimmed with Valenciennes. Lace motifs are used extensively to heau- uly them. High linen or Irish crochet sarn-over sollars are to be as much, if not more, in vogue than last year. Hand em- broidery plays a prominens part in their beanty. Rabats are to be very popular, noé only with high collars, but with Datch collars as well. They give such a chaimiog tone and finish to a collar hecanse of their sim- plicity. Ove of the newest rabats is mere- ly a ““tarn-over”’ of fine linen, with hand- embroidered ends: it is about five inches in length and three inches wile (as wide at the top as the hottom), which is to be pioned to the collar witha wide bar pin; this is rather unique and pretty. Irish crochet is either inset or finishes the ends of seven out of ten of the new rabats, It not only moakes a pretty trimming, but in 80 durable. The very simplest are mere- ly plaited linen with hand-scalloped edges. Of course, fluffy jabots are to be worn, hut not as extensively as rabats, as the latter are more practicable, Io eagerness to get the Summer sewing ous of the way, do not, suggests the New- ark News," lose sight of the fact that the shrinking of many wash materials before they are made up often saves much work in the end. Pique, galatea, coarse and beavy linens and the various linen substitutes, as well as any wash materials which bave much dressing, should be shrauk before be- ing ont. One of the most satisfactory ways of shrinking material for a dress is to leave it folded as it eames from the shop, and soak it over night in a tub of water. Then bang it on the line, by one of the selvedge edges. Care must he taken to stretoh it jost as smoothly as possible. If the material has eolors which are apt to run, the precaution of using a salt water solution <honld, of course, he taken. When on the line see that it is not ex- posed to the fuii rays of the sun, for this may fade the material sadly. When the material is shrunk and dried, one’s work is not done, for the ironing is quite as important. The goods should he ironed on the wrong side, and ironed perfectly smooth avd ectly dry. Then it should not be bandled for an hour or two. 1f braid, tape or embroidery is to be need as trimming, it is well to take the precan- tion of shrinking is, else after the garment is lanodered there will “‘puckerings’’ here and there. It the wash material is one of the softer weaves—such as cotton voile, basiste, ie or handkerchief linen —it is never to shrink the goods before sewing. If these materials are shrook, it is quite im- possible to cut out a germent satisfactorily 20d ghe sewing process is rendered most trying. While shrinking fabrics takes time and care, it saves the letting out of seams and lengthening of skirts after the dress is lanndered.

When in sum mer the young chamois climb up to the perpetual snow they delight to play ov it. They throw themselves in a crouch ing position on the upper end of a steep snow covered Incline, work al this way, while the snow files up and covers them with a fine powder. Ar rived at the bottom, they spring tc their feet and slowly clamber up again the distance they have slid down —*“The Play of Animals,” by Karl Groos, The Ananias Story.’ Go to church and hear the pastor, in his pulpit large and wide, tell about the dread disaster that o'erwhelmed the man who lied. It was Colonel Ananias, who in days long dead and gone, shocked his neighbors (who were pious) when he put the truth in pawn Ah. he took the truth and bauled It through the cinders and the slack, and he slugged it, and he mauled it, and he split it up the back; so some bears came up and ate him, at the prophet's stern command, and the generation: hate him as they march adown the land. He was cast into a furnace that was full of coal and wood, and he mut: tered. “This will learn us” (for his grammar wasn’t good.) In the Red sea's depths he wallowed, with his chariots and men, till a whale came up and swallowed him, and he felt seedy then.

What other city is there of like size which matches New York in position: It is a seaside city; the salt water laves its feet. As the traveler ap proaches it he thinks of Venice rising from the sea or is perhaps reminded of ancient Tyre. which “stood out in the sea as a hand from a wrist” and of which the houses were impressively tall. “Impressive” is not too indulgent a word for the skyscrapers of New York—clean faced. simple, original and audacious, they are characteristic of the land and of the people. They are not ugly concessions to utility. but a rather grand adaptation of architec. ture to circumstances. The ancients, harassed with dread of piracy. would not have dared to build a city like New York on the edge of a great harbor }- open to the sea. It is something which the modern world alone could have given us.—London Spectator. Work of a Burmese Bud. Instead of a coming out party as we know it, the Burmese girl's entrance into society begins when she has her ears pierced. As soon after this as she feels inclined she selects a husband and goes to live in a home of her own. The home is provided by the man, but it becomes his wife's as soon as they are married. All women, young and old, are addicted to the use of tobacco. The women seem to prefer the very large size black cigar. Often one meets a woman on the streets of a village with one of these huge cigars in her mouth and two or three more stuck in the holes of each ear.

How- ever, they neglected to rechristen them. and oratory has gained much by that inspired oversight.—Boston Transcript A Fountain of Ants. was a bungalow, and, as is the case with many bungalows, the inner walls were constructed of merely sun dried bricks, and in the recesses of one wall a colony of white ants had established a nest. It was evening. [I heard be hind me a buzzing sound. I turned. and from a hole near the bottom of the wall I beheld a fountain of youn: white ants ascending. They reached the ceiling, and then the descent com- menced. They alighted by thousands on the table and there shook off their wings. In a few minutes the cloth, the plates, the glasses, even the lamp shades, were covered with the little white, feeble, crawling creatures. The fountain of ants continued to play for at least ten minutes. When, next morning, the floor was swept the wings that the ants had shaken off filled a large basket. What became of the ants themselves I cannot say.—“Haunts and Hobbies of an Indian Official.” Medical. HE WEARY WAY. DAILY BECOMING LESS WEARISOME TO MANY IN BELLEFONTE.
