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

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

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

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.

* 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-

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.

THE FARMING WORLD.
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,
