Pleasant Way in Which Two Pennsylvania Girls Are Picking Up Summer Pin Money. There are two girls in the southern part of Pennsylvania living in the suburbs of a large town. Their home has a little plot of land around it and this plot of land is being Blade the basis of a snug little summer fortune. Desiring more pin money than can be found in the family purse, these two girls kav« taken to cultivating potted plants in the hope of selling them in the fall. They I iave started roses and foliage plants; and when fall comes they expect to have lome hing to sell. The amount of money these young women expect to earn on their little patch of and is not great, but it will be as large as they* could hope to get if they were at work n a store behind a counter. Three or four dollars does not sound very much, but to a ome girl with nothing at all except the chance dollar, it amounts to a great deal, 'hese young women will sell their foliage plants in the fall to anybody who wants hem; and, as the raising of them costs nothing but the time and the patience, they will ;ain every cent clear profit. Are there any girls who would like to do the same as these girls this summer? If here are, let them get the cuttings in the ground, water them well and pot at the ear est opportunity. Set the pots deep in the soil to keep them moist, and when Septem er comes lift tiie pots out of the ground and get ready for the October sale. Take rders in advance, for you will have plenty to sell. shmere coats with their colored .tetany, the silk embroidery can be lected carelessly so long- as the three lors are observed.

The newest notion in petticoats is the "drop" skirt. A top of white or dark silk comes just to the knee, and to this buttons a flounce of silk or muslin. A good many women sew the flounce to the top of the skirt, instead of but toning it. The top of the flounce is, of course, finished with a straight band, often formed of a wide tape, and the top of the skirt has a substantial facing about two inches deep. Since skirts must fit so smoothly about the hips and fall full about the feet, the drop skirt becomes almost a necessity. Silk being the best for the top part of the skirt, a fluffy flounce of nain sook or cambric and lace buttons to a top of white taffeta, and various col ored silk flounces —changed to match skirts with which they are to be worn —button or are sewed to a dark silk top, preferably black. There is economy in this method also. It takes a good many yards to make a top to every petticoat. One woman, who knows just what is what in matters of dress, buttons her washable petti coat flounces to tops of smooth, heavy, white linen. With lightweight gowns double lace trimmed flounces are attached to the to]). This gives an effect that is pretty and fluffy about the feet. The laundering of the extra flounces is a much easier matter than the doing up of a petticoat made after the usual model. Everyone who has ironed a white pet ticoat knows that it is not an easy mat ter to turn and twist it over an ironing board. It is a comparatively easy matter to iron a separate flounce on a table, and this the best laundress will tell you is her favorite way of ironing. Though this is the original form of drop skirt, there is another that bears the same name. This is the foundation upon which are built skirts of ganzy fabrics. This underskirt, either of silk 01 washable material, is completely fin ished and is only attached to the top skirt at the waist. Again, this is a practical idea, for ic this way one foundation may do foi several froeks or a gown may be com pletely changed by a change of lining. The tailor-made gowns are now hung over the separately finished skirts and much improved, indeed, are they. Seams may be pressed flatter and smoother, and there is not the slightest suspicion of the puckering that some times will happen when silk and cloth are sewed into the same seam.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1898. CAGE FOR DEHORNING. It!■ KiiMlly Set Down ut a Scale Pen, the Opening of a Shed or End of a Laue. Dimensions: Six feet long, 6 feet high, 3y a feet wide at top in front and 4'/i feet wide at top at back end. Hot tom of foot board is 1 foot wide, with 7 cleats iy 2 inches thick, 1 foot long, nailed across it to keep cattle from silpping-. Foot board 2 inches thick, and rests on the three 2x4-inch cross pieces 4 feet long. To these are bolt ed upright pieces 7 feet long 2x4inches for nailers for sides of cage. Across the top of cage are used two strips Ix 4 inches for each set of uprights, bolted one on each side of upright. The inside of this frame is boarded up with inch planks of convenient widths. The lowir S'/ 2 feet should close enough to prevent animals putting their feet through the cracks. On the left side, 3% feet from bot tom, should be used a board one foot wide, and one foot longer than the cage. In this bore two one-inch holes four inches from sides of board. Through these put a piece of rope and tie on outside. This loop is put over the animal's nose and drawn tight by the use of a hand spike. An upright lever is used to catch back of the head and draw it to the left side of cage. This upright should be a strong 2x4-inch, 9 feet long, bolted to DEHORNING CAGE, bottom cross piece near the right side, the upper end slipping back and forth between the cross pieces that hold the tops of the two front uprights in place. This lever is thrown to the right when open for the animal to enter. As soon as the head passes it is pushed to the left side and fastened as tight as required by a small iron pin slipped through the cross pieces at top back of it. As soon as the head is fastened a hand spike is slipped through the cage back of the animal, and another over the neck to hold the head down. These remain in place usually without hold ing, the operator standing in front while taking off the horns. The small est animal having horns, up to a bull weighing 1,830 pounds, lias been de horned in this sized cage. Animals weighing up 1,200 pounds pass right through the cage when the holding lever is thrown back against the right side. Cows heavy in calf and larger an imals back out of the cage. The maker of this cage has re modeled it three times to get it as described, and has used it nine year*. The first j'ear he dehorned 150; his work now running from 4,000 to 5,000 from October through March. Animals dehorned early in the sea son liea) quickly because in pood flesh. As an experiment, used saw and clip pers on seven steers, cutting- one horn off with clippers the other with saw. The sawed stub healed in one-half the time required by the clipped. The latter crushes inside of the horn, which must decay and come out be fore the wound can heal. The op erator we refer to loads the cage across a common gravel box on a wagon and travels to convenient points, where the cattle are driven to, him. He is a rapid workman. With two or three assistants to help drive and hold he once took horns off 33 head of two-year-olds in 27 minutes. Another time he dehorned 60 head of 700-pound cattle in 49 minutes. The cage can be set down at any con venient place, at a scale pen, opening of a shed, or end of lane. The accom panying illustration will give the read? er a clear understanding of the cage.—• John M. Jamison, in National Stock man. Not All llerllm Are Hail. The common ground beetle devours cutworms in great numbers, and the soldier bug and the wheel bug are noted for their predaceous instincts., They live upon whatever worms, slugs and insects they can find in the gar den. Even our wasps are great insect destroyers, and if we could overcome our natural prejudice against them we should find that they deserve to live. They will not sting one unless cornered or frightened in some way; but they will destroy slugs and tent caterpillars by the dozen. Expensive Sort of Economy. Reports from south Xevv Jersey say that some of the stone roads are in bad condition. The freeholders, who have them in charge, are farm ers, and will not look after them while busy with farm work, nor employ a supervisor to care for them. This will prove an expensive policy, as a thorough system of care and re pair is essential to maintain stone roads in condition and secure the greatest efficiency from them. In a measure high culture helps to produce better fruit and prevent rot. STONE IN HER STOMACH. From the Gazette, Blandinsville, 111. The wife of the Kev. A. R.

Her case baf fled the physicians, but today she is alive and well, and tella the story of her recovery as follows: "About six years ago," said Mrs. Adams, "I weighed about 140 pounds, but my health began to fail and I lost flesh. My food did not agree with me and felt like a stone in my stomach. I began to bloat all over until I thought I had dropsy. "I had pains and soreness in my left side which extended clear across my back and also into the region of my heart. During these spella a hard ridge would appear in the left side of my stomach and around the left side. "These attacks left me sore ind exhausted.

"I know a wom an who had an awful thing happen to her over in New York." 'Oh, do tell me about it," gurgled the girl with the ice cream soda. "Well," went on the chocolate girl, "she's not wealthy at all, you know, and she doesn't keep a nurse. So, one day, when she had togo down town shopping, she took her baby and left it at one of these day nursery creche places. They gave her a cheek for it, and she went off shopping. She didn't come back to the creche till late in the afternoon, and when she went to take out the check it was gone." "Good gracious!" said the girl with the ice cream soda, looking shocked. "What did she do?" "Well," went on the chocolate girl, "they told her she couldn't take the baby without a check, and she'd have to wait till the other babies were taken away, and then she could have what was left. So she waited for hours and hours, till all the babies were gone but one, and when she went to get that —well, the only baby left was a colored baby." "Oh, how perfectly awful!" exclaimed the girl with the ice cream soda, in accents of horror. "What did she do? Wasn't she perfectly frantic? My goodness, how hor rible! Didn't she ever get her baby back again? 1 should think she'd have been per fectly crazy. What did she do?" "Oh, said the chocolate girl, coolly, "she took the colored baby. It was hers.
