WOMAN AND HOME. LATEST IN JEWELRY. Live Tortolne* Are Mow l'«ed In I'arU for Ornament*. The new "living jewelry" is all the rage in l'aris. In a show window of a prominent jeweler on the Hue Itoyale there are a number of tiny living tor toises imbedded in jewels and crawling about on plush cushions. The tortoises are from one-third to one-half of an inch long without fhe bead. Their shells are covered with an ornament of filigree gold in which is set a number of precious stones. The little animals are in no way incommoded by NEW LIVING JEWELRY. their ornaments. To the shell is at tached a tiny gold chain that can be pinned on the corsage by a safety pin. The illustration represents one of these ornaments. It is a tortoise covered with a fine trellis work of rose dia monds and brilliants in Louis Quinze style. Some are ornamented with bril liants and rubies, others with tur quoises and emeralds. In some the etones are set in the shape of a mono grain. When not exhibited on their plush background in the shop windows the unimals are allowed to crawl around in a little doll garden in the store, which Is planted with real shrubs and has a rustic bridge and gravel walks. A REAL DUTCH DARNING-BAG. The Way They Make Them in Holland, Where Knitted Stockinga Are Worn by Everybody. Since knitting golf and bicycle stockings came in vogue the darning-bag became • necessity. Here is a bag that was brought from Holland. Its outside is made of one big circle •112 cretouaa. lined with satin. Crossing it on the inside are broad bands of *atin M llf J^\ r . |i Bottom /\ (£y with ribbon for holding scissors. needleNpofc*, bags, etc. To hold all firmly in place •mall pasteboard pieces are slipped under the ribbon at bottom and sides. The top is shirred with double rowb of baby ribbon run through rings and tied in many loops and ends. ■loom for the Children. It is desirable that growing children should have a room all to themselves, where they can be free to move around and disarrange filings if they feel like it. In England the nursery is made much more of than it is over here, and the children's quarters, as they are called, frequently consist of a study, playroom and individual bedrooms at tended by their own corps of servants. This is rather an extravagant idea for the average American home, but it often proves possible to devote one room to the sole use of the young mem bers of the household and their goods snd chattels. The mother is happy who knows that her young men and wom en are where they can indulge in mis chief to their heart's content without danger of harm. The liberty which this gives her to devote certain portions of the day to other occupations proves a valuable acquisition to her economics. —Chicago Journal. * 4 Scrul»l)iiij4 Service. 99 Incumbents of London churches which stand in need of a cleaning might do worse than follow the example set by the vicar of St. Lawrence's church, Birmingham, who recently announced a "scrubbing service," ami invited the congregation to assist in the work. Soap, water and scrubbers were to be provided, but the efbow-grease must lie furnist.ed by the devout. The service is to last from three o'clock until 9:30, by which time he hopes that the last polishiog touches will have been given, and tltn interior of the church present a glossy and shining appearance. —Lon- don Telegraph.

MANAGING INFANTS. llntilca Siffd a Reasonable Amount of "I.etttnur Alone." Although the baby is an exceedingly tiny member of the establishment, it requires more steps and more care than any other, and sometimes more than all the rest put together. Espe cially is this the case if the child is at all ailing or irritable, or has been spoiled during the first few months of its existence. The doting fondne«s of mothers for their babies, especially the first ones, is responsible for a great deal of hard work and unnecessary trouble as they grow older. There is nothing so beneficial to a baby of any age as a reasonable amount of judicious letting alone. This does not by any means presuppose neglect or even the lack of sufficient attention, but it does include among other things that re»t and quiet and freedom from continual nervous strain that wrecks so many babies, and is one of t'he principal causes of the remarkable number of deaths that our statisticians are forced to chronicle. Careful feeding, warmth and quiet ore three imperative necessities for healthy and happy children. Continual fussing over babies is the cause of a great many bad tempers and a great dial of illness. There is very much more in the infant incubator idea than the general public is willing to admit. It seems a dreadfully cold-hearted and cruel thing to put the dear little crea tures into a boxy place and shut them up there, where one cannot get at them to kiss and cuddle them, but all the same this kissing and cuddling business is just what does the most harm. Of course, all of the mothers all over the country cannot have incu bators and brooders for their babies, but they can exercise a little self-denial and let the little ones alone when they i.eed rest and quiet. They can dress them properly, feed them at regular intervals and prevent their being dis turbed by enthusiastic friends, who cannot be satisfied without making a toy and plaything of what is unques tionably the most interesting being ic tibe world.—Chicago Journal. Itlftck. Dye for Woolen*. To color woolen goods black, use on* ounce of extract of logwood and hall an ounce of blue vitriol for each pound of cloth. Put fhe vitriol in watei enough to cover the cloth, and when they are thoroughly mixed, putin the cloth and let it scald SO minutes. Then take the cloth out and throw it intc clear water. Put the logwood into a vessel with sufficient water for the goods, press t>he water from the cloth and put it into the logwood water and scald it 30 minutes. Then take out the cloth and air well. Meanwhile put the vitriol water into the vessel with the logwood, and again putin the cloth and scald it 15 minutes longer. This will prevent the goods when pressed from rubbing off.—Housewife. ClimiKtnK Color of Cloiver*. By immersing the cut stalks of vari ous flowers in aniline solutions a great variety of beautiful hues and tints can be imparted. The colored water can be watched through the microscope flowing through the vein tubes in the leaves and petals and other parts of the flowers. This process, which has been used by Messrs. Hrockbank and IJorrington, is quite different from that of changing the color by adding a par ticular chemical element to the soil. If the aniline dyes are placed in the soil they do not find their way through the roots. The chief purpose of the artificial coloring is to produce brilliant effects for table decoration.

FIGHTING INSECTS. Some Valuable Formula* Fural»h*«l l»y I'rof. Maynard. Every fruit and plant has its peculiar insect enemies and fungous diseases. Progressive farmers, gardeners and fruit growers are provided with spray ing machinery for overcoming these pests, and spraying is as much rou tine work as is cultivation or fertiliz ing. For fungous pests, because of cheapness, effectiveness and lasting qualities, the bordeaux mixture has superseded all other mixtures. Io make it, four pounds of copper sulphate or blue vitriol are dissolved in two gal lons of hot water; or, suspended in a coarse rack in a cask of cold water it will dissolve in a few hours. Caustic or quicklime, four pounds, is then slaked slowly by adding small quantities of water until thoroughly dissolved. VA hen DOUBLE CYLINDER SPRAY PUMP. cooled, the lime wash is poured through a tine mesh sieve into the dissolved copper sulphate. To the mixture is then added 25 to 50 gallons of water. Destruction to fungous is probably caused by the copper, which is held in place by the lime. Should the bordeaux mixture disfigure the fruit, the am moniacal carbonate of copper should be used and applied often, as it washes easily. Formula: Copper carbonate three ounces, ammonia enough to dis solve the copper, water 40 gallons. Paris green and kerosene emulsion are the insecticides in most common use. I'uris green effectually destroys chewing or leaf-eating insects, and is less liable to injure foliage than lon don purple. Use in water, one pound to 200 gallons. If lime is added, or the paris green added to the bordeaux mix ture, use one pound to 50 gallons. For sucking insects, the kerosene emulsion is unequaled: Dissolve a half-pound of bar soap in two gallons of hot water, and while hot add two gallons of kero sene oil and stir until a lard-like sub stance is formed. When used, dilute with water to 15 or 25 gallons. Insects and fungous growths appear together, hence, many combine paris green with the bordeaux mixture, saving half the cost of application. For applying, the pump selected should throw a heavy stream, with considerable force, and yet work with ease. The illustration herewith shows a powerful pump and suitable sprayer for all ordinary crops. The barrel is readily mounted on any form of wagon.—Prof. S. T. Maynard, Mass. Agr. College, in Farm and Home. VIRGINIA'S CONVICTS. To nc Kill |»lo>e«l In «lie Construction of State Koniln. The bill to be introduced in the Vir ginia legislature, for the employment of convicts on the roads of the state, provides that all able-bodied male pris oners, sentenced to jail or penitentiary for more than 90 days, shall be subject to work on the roads. Those sentenced to county jails shall work upon the roads of such counties, unless there is no immediate need of them, in which case they may be hired to other coun ties, but only for road work. The convicts not required for services in the penitentiary are to be distributed among the counties, on application, and none are to be hired out for any purpose but road work. Not less than five, noi more than 25, are to be assigned to any one county, every assignment to be made for a year, unless shorter time is requested, and then for not less than 00 days. If the number of convicts is not sufficient to fill the applications, they are to be supplied ratably. Convicts, in respect to their work, are to be under the control of the county authorities in which they work; but, as prisoners, they are to "remain in the custody of the state authorities as if they remained in the penitentiary," and transportation expenses, guarding, feeding, clothing and medical attend ance are to be paid by the state, the counties to provide suitable shelter. Each county is to adopt and putin operation r scheme or plan for working its roads by such prisoners in its jail as are available, together with those which may be secured from the state, and "every shall annually levy a road tax of not less than 15 cents, nor more than 30 cents, on every SIOO of the value of the property, real and per sonal, assessed for taxes in the county, the proceeds to be applied to road im provement in said county."—L. A. W, Bulletin. HORTICULTURAL HINTS. Give the orchard all the potash that it needs. Toads, frogs and lizards are useful in the garden. The gem melon is the best seller in the market. Prune the quince tree and train it to a single stem. Missouri sold $19,500,000 worth of fruit last year. Extra work in getting a good seed bed pays in garden work. A neglected orchard incumbers land that be used profitably for other purposes. A late crop of cabbage is easiiy grown, for the seed can be planted in the open ground. ! Five acres in cucumbers for pickles will ordinarily pay as much as all the rest of the larm.—Western Plowman.

After awhile he began to improve and in a few weeks was able togo out, although weak and miserable. Then, gradually All Strength In His Limbs gave out. The physicians told us it was paralysis, which sometimes follows an attack of diphtheria. We did everything for him, but he grew worse until he was in a pitiful condition. lie suffered ter ribly at night and complained continu ally of his head, and in what little sleep he was able to get, moaned un ceasingly. He lost all control of the muscles of his body and limbs, ne had no appetite and complained of feeling sick at his stomach all the time. After we had tried many different remedies and had about given up all hope we com menced giving him Hood's Sarsaparilla. In a short time he ceased to complain, his appetite improved and at the end of three months he was able to attend school a part of the time.
