THE DAINTY CHEMISE. It linn Come Hack Attain. llrvrllnK in Ituttleft and I'nfTN, and in Full Womanly Fat or. The chemise went out for awhile, but It came back again. This year it is to be worn by every self-respecting woman end it will be found to revel in the ruf fles and puffs of the chemise of the days i>f Josephine. The favorite material is nainsook which after all is very durable if a lit w CHEMISE AX© SKIRT. tie care is taken in the laundry. Nain sook underwear wears for two years for best and for two years more as second best after it has been patched and darned a little, if only it goes through the hands of a careful laundress. This statement is borne out by every woman who has handled dainty lingerie. The new chemises are made long enough for an underskirt. They are gathered so as to be small around the waist and to flare around the bottom. The neck is gathered around with lace mid ribbon. There come ribbons of all colors that are durable and can be laundered with the garments without being removed. The shoulder bands of the chemise ere made of the same ribbon of a broad er width. A TOILET NECESSITY. Why l.einonn Should Find a I'lnrp on the Toilet Table of Every Sen- Nible American Woman. No woman should be without lemons on her toilet table. They are about as necessary nowadays as soap, so those who believe in them say. "Lemons!" exclaimed u woman who believes in them religiously. "Why, I wouldn't L»e without lemons a whole clay for anything. I once heard of a French woman who was considered the most beautiful woman of her time, and the attributed her good looks to eat ing eight oranges a day for ;ii>s days in the year. I'd be willing to bet on it that lemons will do far more toward beautifying a woman than oranges. Lemons beautify one through and through, outside and in. Nothing in the world bleaches the skin, hands and face like a little diluted lemon ju**e applied at night, and, strange tc unlike ost bleaches, it softens tile complex ti. Then the finest of manicure acids made by dropping a. teaspoonful of mon juice in a cup of tepid water. This removes all stains from nails and skin and loosens the cuticle naturally and much better than any sharp instru ment. A dash of lemon juice in plain water is an excellent tooth wash, re moving not only the tartar, but sweet ening the breath, and a teaspoonful of the juice in a small cup of black coffee will drive off a bilious headache before the sufferer can say caterpillar. Life would be very barren to me without lemons, and so it would be to any wom an who knows the secret of their elli cacy. Best of all, the juice of the lem on, taken with a teaspoonful of soda cooking- soda—after each meal, will pull the flesh right off the most persistently fat woman who ever worried over her weight."

Rarer Describe* the Bf»t nnd Mont \l holi'Nome Foikln for llrt'lilc* faint, Dinner anil Supper. Mrs. S. T. Rorer, writing' on"The lSest Food for a Growing Child" in the Ladies' Home Journal, says: "A child must iia\e in its active life at least two thirds carbonaceous foods and one third nitrogenous or flesh-building foods. For breakfast he may have first a well-baked or steamed apple, a little apple sauce, a ripe peach or some grapes, followed by a well-cooked cereal with milk, after which a soft-boiled egg, a small bit of broiled white-fish, a little broiled sweetbread, a piece of broiled chicken, or he may take simply a bowl of oatmeal or wheat preparation, and a slice of well-toasted whole wheat bread. "For dinner a clear soup, followed by a red meat, either beef or mutton, broiled, boiled or roasted, or any of the wild meats, with one starchy vegetable, such as rice, potato or stewed macaroni, and one green vegetable simply cooked, such as spinach, cauliflower, asparagus, lettuce, cress, celery, well-cooked cu cumber, carefully stewed turnip or well-boiled radish, over which is poured a little cream sauce, giving the required fatty matter. Next comes the dessert. Such things as rice pud ding, cup custard, caramel custard, mock charlotte, floating island, rice dumplings and boiled rice and milk, or moulded wheatlet. with whipped cream, and moulded rice with whipped cream may be used. Water not iced should be the accompanying beverage. "Supper may consist of bread, thor oughly baked, with either butter or milk, or cornmeal mush and milk, mush bread, bread sticks and chicken broth. Milk is, however, the better liquid food for the child's night meal. A child who is fed properly, and is well b.Khed and comfortably clothed, will eat. well, sleep well and be happy and good."

How to Cart- for Silk. Silk being- always worn, it is strange how few women understand how to treat the beautiful fabric. One fact not by any means widely known is that silk should never be folded. Then, again, use a clean, smooth table to sponge the fabrics on. A good reno vating- fluid for black silk is a little roek of ammonia and a piece of common soda, put into a bottle and dissolve into one-half pint of boiling water. Sponge with this and iron; this is also good for restoring rusty looking black woolen goods.

Tnhle CilvinK the Avernite Weight Per Cubic Foot of Well-Matured i< ml Settled KnitUuire. It would seem as though we might be excused from answering over and over again questions relating to the capacity of silos, but it is perhaps fair to as sume that others are much like our selves—not over careful to preserve the information not specially needed for present use. Silage varies iti weight per cubic foot principally for the amouut of pressure to which it has been subjected. Ilence t he last foot, or five feet, in a silo, which has been filled up to 20 feet deep is much heavier (because more compact) than the first foot, or five feet. Tlie following table gives the average weight per cubic foot of well matured corn silage, at different depths, after settling 1 two days, and the average for the entire depth: Average for Average for lbs. total depth, lbs. First 5 feet 22.0 22.0 Second 5 feet 30.0 26.1 Third 5 feet 39.3 29.H Fourth 0 feet 43.8 33.3 Fifth 5 feet 49.5 3fi.fi Sixth 5 feet 54.5 39.6 Find the number of square feet in the bottom of the silo, multiply this by depth of silage and the product will be the total cubic feet of silage. For in stance, if a silo is 12x15 feet inside measurement, and 20 feet deep, it will have 3,000 cubic feet, and when well filled with mature corn, the average weight, per cubic foot, will be 33.3 pounds, or 120,000 pounds (00 tons) for the whole. The lower layer of five feet in depth will be nearly 20 tons, the one above is about 17% tons, aud in this proportion for other depths.—Hoards' Dairyman. TIMELY DAIRY HINTS. It is a bad practice to wash the dairy utensils at a well. It will pollute the water. The placenta should always be re moved in three or four hours. If left longer it will be inclosed by the con traction of the Njoinb. If a quarter of the udder is smaller than the other parts. Hoard advises rubbing and kneading it pretty hard twice a day with pure lard. It is claimed that when butter is salt ed in the churn two ounces of salt to the pound will not leave more saltness than the average palate will like. Shade for the cow in summer is near ly as essential as shelter in winter whatever the feliow whose theory is that the cow should be kept eating and not loafing, may say. If the cow stards in the mud puddle, mixing her droppings with the water, and drinking the water you will not get either good milk or butter from the oow. Hut we have seen hundreds of cows that did it. The greatest enemy of man toman is he who sneers r.t what the press says about improved dairying or other farm methods.

It contains little fat and a comparatively large amount of milk making elements and can be recom mended as a milk feed. Green rye is given the same analysis as pasture grass, but from experience T doubt if it is as valuable. For soiling, however it is of greater value than pasture grass by reason of the enormous tpiantities that may be secured from so small a piece of ground. If sown early it may be cut ill the fall and then two or three crops cut from it in the spring, ltye, either green or the grain, produces no particular effect different from other foods of the kiiuie class - .National Stockman. A SCHOOL GIRL'S BATTLE. From the Mail, Milford, Ind. Miss Emna Rybolt, a prepossessing school girl of Milford, Ind., is of more than usual intelligence, and is ambitious to rise in the literary world. "In the fall of 1896," said Mrs. Rybolt, "Emma was taken ill. She was a close stu dent and her work began to tell on her. She grew weak, pule and nervous, and com plained of pains in her back, chest and limbs. A few weeks passed anil she grew worse. The doctor said she was a victim of ner vous prostration, and should have been taken from school weeks earlier.
