Capote in course, sunburnt straw, trl corn shape. Trnnsparetit fabrics have lecn pain to' irround. and dotted and printed polioses, ortfandies lawns, batistes, mulls, ami nainsooks are freely uned. The larger class of wearers make these up nnl!r!ri. while others use a white or colored lawn lining, while thorn wtq can ulTord It Uie ilk. Very young and slender girls wear Swltw dresses, having the skirt covered- with "two-inch ruffles, each edged with "Val" laco. the sleeves fashioned to correspond with ruffles from elbows to rtioalders. aud waist having a round juke of ruffles. Crush collar and belt of piece satlD, the style giving width to any figure. White organdies and nainsooks are trimmed with fine embroidery , as other gowns are made up with laco, taring it In ttie same manner. Tho nfcirts are gored at the front, and sides and have a gathered back. The un filled waist having "bag" seams may bare lengthwise tucks from belt to arnohok. leaving the upper part full, or a shirred yoke of tiny tucks shows gathers At the wnlitt line, back and front The shaves are In a full puff tn the elbows, with tucks shaping tliem to the wrists. SIeve epaulet tea or flat cape collar of the lace aud In sertion and frills of the same at the wrist. Changeable fabrics are quite the modtr stin, and some of them seem to combine all the colors of a pousse cafe. A pretty two toned thin serge trimmed Willi cliiuaoable silk to match or a neat shepherd's plaid, in brown, blue' and white, wirh brown and blue shot lining, will be found useful for general wear where lighter and more fanciful toilets would be out of place and Inconvenient. The gay Inverness capes are the prottieHt of all the cool day wraps of the season. They are almost a neces sity with the big sleeves, and In deep red or fawn brown, "wKh plaid or peschblow silk linings, and the straps, which let them fly without dropping, are very fetching. To one of the now effects In gowns dim boon given in T'arls, with that curiously apt irony of which only the French ere capab'.j la dress nomencla- .An Oii'lug Costume. hm the name robetomate, or tomato gown. It Is a combination of electric green aud vivid scarlet, the huge leg-wf-mntton sleeves being of the green, with revers and belt of scarlet, over a bmllce of lnre aud ehlffou combined. Something new in whit gowim, and more "dressy" Uiau those of duck or muslin. Is a white barege dress made over with taffeta. The gored skirt is feept quite plain, except for side pieces or tapering panel set in each seam of the front bnudih, beginning at the iK'lt and graduating to a point at the foot. The outer eiige of each panel is bordered with white moire ribbon, an Inch wide, neatly stitched on, and a rosette or bow if the ribbon accentu ates the point at the foot. Sometime it pointed tablit r is preferred to these panels, ntid is brought up from Cie foot la front to form a pleated basque on the sides j.n.l back; this Is also udged narrowly uit'i moire riblsm, and has a single vci-y laign bow at the foot directly in fr-mt.

Just at present Faahlon Is pre-eminently arlst.HTatlc. with but little sym pathy with 'Vottaga simplicity." Span gled and seqiiluud trJuunings tire Just as popular a ever, and the addition of fine cut Jet detract nothing from their richness. If aDythltig. It has the contrary effort. Some of the garnitures now used would not seem out of place In a palming of one of the ancient masters, so dark and rich, and yet s superb In color and so elaborate in d sign are fhey. Hands of pearl, pale mauve, heliotroM, and oiwil on silk net, or of gold and emerald with cut Jet sequlncs surrounded with smaller ones in mock topaz and ruby, are among tho now Vienna importations ojK'iied this week. A description of all the rare and unique garnitures of this variety for tho enriching of both gowiu, wraps and costly-head-cover-logs would till a small-sized volume. The natty Trench hats are very much affected by the summer girl. Ivy Is very much in v gtie this year. Hon nets are mad" entirely of Ivy, and hats freely trimmed with It. Whttti satin violets are also much used. They are massed in huge overtopping bunches. The flowers shown lor midsummer hats, even In the cheaper grades, are so true to tin originals that they are positively deceptive. Among these are clover blossoms, with foliage and grasses; pctunt lu every variety of shading, copied from nature; the richly-tinted English wallflower; the dainty little Scotch rose, with U.s fine sweetbriar foliage, In clusters of white, yellow, and pale pink; beauti ful Iris, and the inauy varieties of the regal orchid. Some very dressy hats are set ou a veritable coionet of bril liants, fastened on velvet or mingled among flowers. White, cream, corn color, pal; pink, and green, are the chief colors s-en in colored tips in mid summer hats. Lai'h'e rosettes of tulle are the correct trimming for large hats, but chiffon, gaiire, net. etc., are used In -bow effects. Wack tips, birds, aigrettes, violets, nses, etc.. Jotted lace employed in various ways, black A Pari Tlat. Velvet and black tulle, are among flie many black materials used. The un natural black flowers still continue In favor, and black mignonette has rapidly followed black wallflowers, while black roses and carnations have become quite fashionable. For elderly ladles black hats, trim mod with large bows of moire ribbon and Jet ornaments, seem to meet with the most favor. The Buckle Tail. The variety In style and texture of the dainty summer blouses aud shirt waists Is resjionslble for the Imckle fad, wihieh will prove a heavy drain on the ordinary pocket book. The sil ver buckles are most popular. They art1 only long and narrow or round and much ornamented. Some are of filigree, while others are plain or oxid ized. Buckles of black enamel Inlaid with silver or gold are effective upon a delicately tinted ribbon belt. The gold buckles are 'beautiful enough to warrant the price at which they are sold. Haln gold buckles have tho owner's monogram engraved upon them. Amoug the newest silver buck les are those inlaid with pale blue enamel. Delicate buckles of tortoise shell are also seen this year, inlaid with gold or enamel. The buckles which adorn the tennis belt are sure, somewhere, to slvow a racket, A new buckle to le worn with a yachting gown is of Koman gold shaped like an anchor, with bronzed cords coiled about It A dainty buckle attached to a wide ribbon belt was formed of a wreath of blue enamel forget-iiio-nots. Old Age nnd Matrimony. When . ho was considered quite an old man, James Lord Ualearres, went to stay with old Lady Keith. There were a number of young ladles In the house, aud before he arrived Lady Keith said to them, "Now, there is this old gentleman coming to stay, and I particularly wish that you should all endeavor to make yourselves as pleasant to him as you can." They all agreed to do so, but a Miss Palrym pie said, "You may all do what you like,. but I'll bet you anything that you please that I'll make the old gentle men like me the ttest of all." And so she did; she made him perfectly de voted to her all the time ho was there; yet, when ho asked her to marry liliu she laughed In his face. Lord Hal carres was exceedingly crestfallen, but, when he went away, he made a will settling everything he could upon Miss Dalrymplo. Somehow, she hoard of th, and said: "Then, after all, ho must really care for me, and I will marry htm." and she did. He was fifty-eight then, nut they had ten chil dren. New York Home Journal.

A curious mistake, common among blacksmiths. ws pointed out to me recently by a practicing veterinary surgeon to whom I look a horse that had Iteoome lame gradually, with con siderable heat In the feet. He drew attention to the fact that most far riers, being right-handed, unintention ally lower the left side of the foot more than the right aide. As a result the pastern does not set quite evenly on the eoflln Imp.u, or the !one suspend ed Inside the wall of the hoof, and fu time the concussion of the foot on tho street produces soreness In the Joint which could not exist If the foot were level. A trifle out ot Joint, so to speak, the foot at night cannot repair tho In jury received or the fatigue of the day; It gradually pels feverish and thfti tender, and the horse Is suddenly soon to limp. I hp.ve tiotlced this in hundreds of cases. The lameness dis npxMrs In a few days if the cause lx removed by leveling up the foot care fully. A person will experience the same ditllctllty in his ankle If he wears for n few days n boot that Is run over at file hiel. The soreness will not bo so pronouiood for two reasons; the boot Is not worn nor stood upon nights and leather furnishes mow of a cush ion tiKui Iron when brought in contact with the pavement. Neither man nor horse Is perma nently Injured unless tho fntilty con-ditio-.i continue. How sneh an error, (ilmcst tuniotieeihlo, should Im so fro qiiently committed Is easily under stood when it is soon how much faster the kn'fo removes the horn while being drawn than pushed. The sheer lifts the foot and draws the knife to ward himself on the liottom of what Is then the right side, but which Is ft illy the left of tho hoof, as his back Is toward the horse's h-ad. To pare the left (right) side of the hoof Is more ditiieult or unhandy and it Is. as a consequence, left thicker. The hsrse'a forefi'ot a iv so constructed that if they must turn over, to turn out Is less hurtful than to turn In; hence, tho first indication of lameness from this cause is usually noticeable in the right foot, the left side of that foot being the lower, thus Inclining 1t to roll In. Tho lesson Is. hire competent farriers and lie sure to keep the horse's feet level from side to side as well as front to rear. Hollister Sage. Nitrogen and Crop. It has been, found that a crop of eghteeu bushels of wheat removed, from one acre about twenty-five pounds of nitrogen nnd twenty-two pounds of mineral matter lu the grain and ten pounds of nitrogen and 178 pounds of mineral matter In the straw or a total of thirty-five pounds of nitro gen and 114 pounds of silica, thirty two pounds of potash, twenty pounds of phosphoric acid, as well as smaller proportions of lime, soda, magnesia, etc. Healthy plants contain more nitrogen than those that are feeble, while eighty-seven per cent, of the' nitrogen was in the gluten. About 83 per cent, of the total material la taken from the soil during the first sixty-five days of growth. Heavy wheat contains nearly a quarter of a Kund more nitrogen to the bushel than inferior wheat, which Is a cost of about four cents more of the plant food taken from the soil. The most expensive fertilizer to the farmer Is nitrogen, and thds cost he can reduco on his farm by growing clover, cow peas and green crops for turning un der, for the purpose of renovating his soil. Vegetable tor Antutnn. Beans for the tahle, as snap beans, may yet be planted, and they will come In ahead of the frost; and what pods are not wanted for the table make excellent pickles. From New York southward, In favorable situa tions, corn may yet be planted for table use. Plant the early varieties, in good, rich soil, where early potatoes were grown or in any vacant spot, and In a majority of cases, a crop will be secure. A few rows of beets may yet lie planted. If the beets do not get very large but they may the tope and small roots make a splendid dish served as spinach. Summer squashes often perfect their growth when tho seed is planted early in August, and a delicious vegetable it is late in autumn, ltadisliea. too, may be sown any time this month and nearly the whole of nest, and, if the weather Is not too dry and hot. good radishes will be se cured. Cucumbers con be had for the table and for pickles if planted early In the month. Spinach does nicely if sown any time during the mouth. Make garden in August. Pure Water in the Panture. Many springs that are not protected by fences in the pastures get foul and choked up in the summer season by reason of the cattle trampling In the mud. standing there to fight flies, and gradually contaminating the water un til it Is unfit to enter Into the composi tion of healthful milk. A simple way to remedy this is to fence In the spring and after cleaning it out thoroughly and making a deep pool, lay one or two lengths of iron pipe, an Inch In diameter, to convey the water into a tub. The latter may be the half of an old cider or llnseed-oll barrel. The pipe will cost only five to eight cents a foot. To prevent the water running too fast, aud keep the pipe from clog ging up, put a spile or plug, grooved a little to admit the water. Into tho upiver end of tho pipe in the spring. The pipe can then be flushed or rinsed any time by pulllug out the plug for a few minutes. Before winter, a tight plug should be put In, to prevent water getting In to freeze and burst the pipe. ' A Pew Practical Hint. Every owner of a homo In a farm ing couutry 01 village, should aim an nually to make some improvement of his surroundings. Buildings were erected years ago In haste, leaving the grounds with more or less of a rough surface. Bolng now covered with grass, tho owner does not wish to have the surface broken ncd the SimI sp. ed; but he may make a smooth lawn by. gradually filling the depressions uilli tine eurtb or sand to a depth of an Inch iu the hollows. ' The grass quickly penetrate this thin bed; and by repeating the operation several Union during the season, he may with little cost aud no bmiklcg of the sur face, have made a great improvement Senatorial Courtesy.
