SCIENCE OF THE TOILET.
How the Women of To-Ony Mnnnge
to Preaerve a Youthful Appear
ance for Decade*.
The modern maiden has learned in
en exquisite way the science of the
care of her person; she does not early
acquire wrinkles, neither does she lose
her hair, nor so early have to bear the
signs of advancing years by its turn
ing gray. The secret, for such it is.
of this preservation is one that all
women should know; it surely is more
charming for the world to gaze upon a
fresh youthful face than upon a shriv
eled one, and upon an abundance of
locks than upon too scanty a growth
to even cover the head. Begin the day
vith a cold or tepid sponge bath, fol
lowed by a vigorous rubbing with a
rough towel. This starts the circula
tion into almost a bound and does
much to preserve the plumpness of
face, neck end arms, beside rendering
colds almost impossible. An occasion
al hot bath with plenty of good soap,
followed by a sponging in cold water,
is taken at night, but not more fre
quently than twice a week, as hot
baths are enervating and encourage a
loose, flabby condition of the skin.
After the hot bath at night cold cream
cr lanolin is rubbed vigorously into the
face or, if there are signs of yellow
spots, zinc oxide ointment is substi
tuted. The face is washed each morn 4
ing with handful* of hot water, then
immediately with cold water, thus
stirring the circulation and aiding in
keeping the muscles plump. The face
is then rubbed gently up and down and
across with both hands- —a dry wash,
in fact—rubbing particularly any
wrinkling across the forehead. This
Is the ironing-out of the face, prepara
tory to the appearance for the day.
Wrinkles develop by a lack of supple
ness and plumpness of the skin, and
they mayue kept at bay many years
by careful massage. The hair receives
especial attention on the part of the
assiduous maiden, and particular care
is paid to the roots, for one should
know that if they are healthy the
growth will be satisfactory. And she
wears her hair much more loosely
than does her less diligent companion,
for she believes that the air greatly
preserves its growth. Each day the
hair is separated at the roots and the
air allowed to freely- circulate through
it. It is a serious error to worship the
brush, and treat the scalp in such a
vsay as to weaken and kill the roots.
For victims of the brush it is easy
to point to many men, who daily brush
ond brush—the stiffer the implement
the better. Baldness is the certain
outcome. A fine-toothed comb is like
wise shunned as an enemy to the roots
of the hair. In warm weather it is
prudent to wash the hair with k
preparation containing alcohol, which
dries the scalp and renders perspira
tion less profuse, this unpleasant fea
ture of the summer affecting the roots
of the hair most alarmingly. Very
oily hair is washed with a shampoo
containing sulphur, while a very dry
scalp is treated to a light application
of cream or lanolin, l-klna >S. Wither

llitnunn Flour In New.
The n:-xt dietetic fad is going to be
banana flour. Manufacturers are ex
perimenting in this direction, and
promise soon a meal that will keep as
long as wheat flower and make a much
more nutritious bread. As already
the craze for whole wheat flour i>. pass
ing. this new rlbumen will undoubted
ly meet a quick welcome when it
comes. The use of the banana has de
veloped its great value as an article of
food, and the great army of banana
consumers are prepared to accept
eagerly its further development.
FASHIONS FOR BABY.
Ilalntineaa la the Chief Feature to H»
C«»naldeired In the MnUlng of
lita Clothes.
Fashions in babies' clothes seem
rather amusing, but there are changes
each new season in the manner and
details of the making. As far as the
outlay of money goes, there is hardly
a limit to the amount it is possible to
spend, but daintiness is the chief fea
ture to be considered—for the par
ents' circumstances and common sense
should surely limit the expenditure.
From six to ten long dresses com
pose the usual outfit, some of them
simply made, some elaborately
trimmed. It is now the fashion to
change tlie little ones from long to
short clothes at as early an age as
four months. French nainsook is the
favorite material for the finer dresses.
Just now the inevitable yoke in the
baby's gown is cut square, not quite
extending over to the arm size, and
edged with a frill and beading. For
the filling in of the yoke there are
two pretty ways, both equally popu
lar. One is rows of hemstitched tucks,
running frotn the neck downward, the
other alternate rows of lace and em
broidery insertions, the embroideries
being often almost as fine and as trans
parent as the lace.
A pretty bib has a scalloped upper
edge of shaped silk, trimmed on both
upper and lower edges by a full deep
ruffle of silk lace. The upper part is
hand embroidered, and between the
outer and inner bib is placed a tufted
silk heart-shaped pad of silk. Another
i6 made from a fine linen hemstitched
handkerchief, folded diagonally-—the
upper point is cut out V shape and
embroidered —and both edges lace
| trimmed.
Ni^ht gowns are made from fine fian
| nel or outing and have a drawing
I string around the neck. Petticoats
! are of fine flannel and button on each
j shoulder by two tiny buttons instead
•of down the back.
Little caps of lawn show much shir-
I ring and cording, and some, especially
j those of embroidered muslin have a
lining of a pale shade of thin silk.
The most fashionable thing in ba
bies' shoes and stockings, for wear
with the first short dresses, are gray
suede shoes and stockings matching
exactly in color.
Pretty coats of bedford cord have
deep circular ruffles trimmed with
guipure late edging. In shorter coats,
pretty model in pique has a very deep
rounding collar trimmed entirely with
rows of Hamburg edging alternated
by rows of satin ribbon.
A design in a bedford cord short
coat has three deep circular capes,
each one edged with guipure lace.
For the basket covering, sheer white
lawn over pink or blue is the latest,
the point d'esprit being also used. The
rtiftie is trimmed with lace and rows
of baby ribbon and the joinings and
I seams are finished by a narrow lace
j beading through which is run a ribbon.

Cure for Ivy I'OIMOU.
The very heavy rain of spring has
caused "poison ivy" to be more ram
pant than ever in country and suburb
an places this summer. At the slight

skin, while in the neighborhood of thi»

fully into the skin and instant relief
is said to follow. This is also a remedy
for insect stings.
A Fa Ir Warning.

of glass into a window, when a groom
who was standing by began to banter

made. Four sections of the ladder
weigh 60 pounds, and occupy a space

ORCHARD AND GAR^-N.
Vigorous, thrifty, but low, «it trees
are preferable to tall, slender ones for
transplanting.
Examine newly-set trees and see that
the lands left on thern are not so tight
a» to injure the trees.
In the fall is u good time to set out
rhubarb and asparagus plants. Every
garden should have a good bed.
If there is too much top, the tree
overbears, the tree is small and de
fective and the crop difficult to gather.
Pears to do their best must be fed and
the soil well drained, strong and reten
tive. Locality should determine the va
riety.
Peach stocks, which continue to grow
freely may be budded as long as th«
bark peels freely for the insertion of the
buds.
A good mulch keeps down weeds and
renders the soil loose and moist at all
times, and lessens the labor of cultiva
tion.
While old trees are often made more
fruitful by severe pruning, young,
thrifty trees are often injured by the
aume treatment.
Prune out all the useless shoots In
young fruit trees the growth of which
is about completed. No injurious check
will be given the trees.
All wood that is more than two years
old should be cut out from the currants
and gooseberries. They will produce
more friut if the vines are not so large.
In sending fruit of good quality to
market sort carefully and put it up in
neat, attractive packages and in such
shape that it will arrive in a good con
dition.
Praetleal Knowledge Needed.
A thorough knowledge of eoila,
chemically and physictlly, will enable
the possessor of it to, in great meas
ure, overcome the effect of drought;
how many of our farmers have
this knowledge? Not one in ten thou
sand. And yet every child in our coun
try school might easily be taught, by
Illustration and experiment,howwatei
passes downward through soils by
gravity and rises by capillarity and ad
hesion, and a multitude of othei
facts which are the basis of physical
science, and which would be just as
useful to the child whether he became
in after years n civil engineer or a
farmer.—Rural World.
Kertillzlnir (he Orchard.
There is reason for believing that
the orchard need* fertilizing even
more than the ordinary field crops. A
part of the fertilizing element of the
latter is returned to the soil each
year. The plant food that is taken up
in the orchard is taken away from
the soil forever. None is returned to
it. It is estimated that in a single
Reason an acre of apple trees will draw
from the soil 49 pounds of nitrogen, 38
pounds of phosphoric acid and 72
pounds of potash. These must be re
turned or the productiveness of the
orchard will be lost.—Farmers' Re
view.
A Reprehensible Praetlee.
It will surprise a good many people
to know that there are poultrymen
who send to market infertile eggs that
have been incubated by hens or in the
incubator from live to nine days, at
which time those growing poultry
usually test for fertility. There it
nothing very honest about this, but
many a man who makes a row because
he did not get a hatch of 14 chicks out
of a sitting of 13 eggs will do it. In
fertile eggs do not become rotten when
Incubated for the time named.—Da
kota Field and Farm.
EDUCATE THE CALF.
flow to Feed the Younir Animn)
That It Will Develop Into a
tiootl l>alry Cow.
In liits address at the Indiana State
Dairy association, says Far in News,
Mr. Goodrich stated that educating an
animal to become a good dairy cow
must begin with the young calf. Mus
cle-forming food should be fed, such as
bran, oil meal, skim milk, etc. Educate
the calf to eat muscle-forming food
as much ns possible. Begin to feed the
calf with skim milk and a spoonful or
two of oil meal, then give a few whole
oats to follow. Nice clover hay should
be available. Feed skim milk six
months or so. He wants an animal to
come in milk at two years. Give the
heifer a good box stall and plenty of
straw to calve in. After talving give
her warm water —not cold. Take calf
away gradually, say in two or three
days. After calving feed for awhile
only a little grain, and then depend
mostly on bran. After two weeks you
can begin to feed to full capacity.
Feed a variety. It is desirable to have
a balanced ration as nearly as can be.
Quotations were given from the Wis
consin bulletin of 100 feeding rations,
showing how some so-called success
ful feeders combined dairy cattle foods.
Mr. Goodrich has found a production of
two pounds of coarse food to one of con
centrated as most satisfactory. Succu
lent foods are important. Of VVoll's 100
feeders, G5 fed ensilage and two roots*
If we cannot have green grass, we
should feed either ensilage or roots. It
has paid Mr. Goodrich to feed n. little
bran or corn meal in summer. His cows
produced 50 pounds more of butter per
animal the summer when fed grain
than they did the summer before when
no grain was fed. His grain cost five
dollars, and sl3 was derived from the
butter, showing a good balance in favor
of the grain. I)o not feed every cow
alike. Mr. Goodrich's standard feed is
32 pounds silage, five pounds clover
hay, five pound? corn stover, eight
pounds wheat bran and two pounds
cotton seed meal. Lighten up on the
feed of some cows and increase on oth
ers. If she gives more milk by more
feeding, increase.

as it walks leisurely on the platform
just over the friction roller, power is
developed. In one described to me aa
running a two-man and f-our-girl wood
workingshop in Massachusetts 70 years
ago, the edge of the platform only
projected into the shop. On this edge,
inside the shop, a stall was built. A lit
tle black cow, hitched to the manger,
contentedly trudged and munched her
bay with cheerful heart. The girls
divided their noonday lunch with
"bossy," who divided her milk with
them; the little shop throve, and all
went merrily in "them good ol' days."

BUILDING UP A HERD.
How It Wan Done, and Mont Success
fully, Too, by a Dallyuian
In Ireland.
An instructive illustration of the
manner in which the milk and butter
yielding capacities of dairy cows may
be developed by careful selection is
afforded by some details recently given
publicity to in connection with a prom
inent herd on the other side of the
channel. About a dozen years ago the
milk of all the cows comprised in this
herd—over 60 in number—was careful
ly analyzed. Nine of the cows were
found to be yielding milk showing over
5 per cent, of butter fat, 22 were
yielding over 4y 2 per cent., 14 were
yielding over 4 per cent, and 23 were
yielding under 4 per cent. From this
date onward calves were only kept
off the cows which yielded milk show
ing over 4y z per cent, of butter fat,
and the tribes of the ot hers were grad
ually weeded out. By the aid of a
regularly kept milk record the prod
uct Ckf every cow is known, anS none
is kept for any length of time which
does not yield over 000 gallons per an
num. By combining what is learned
from the analysis and the milking rec
ord and only keeping calves from cows
whose produce is up to the standard,
alike in quantity and quality, the
milking properties of the cows have
been so improved that at present over
60 per cent, of its members are yield
ing milk showing over 5 per cent, and
75 per cent, are yielding milk showing
over 4>/ z per cent, of butter fat. This
result has only been attained by the
exercise of great care and scrupulous
attention in the selection of bulls, and
no sire is used without every inquiry
being made as to the milking records
of hi* female ancestry.—Dublin (Ire
land) Farmers' Gazette.
