HOME MADE FERTILIZER.
J J. H. Gregory, in the “American
Jultivator,” advises readers that an
xcellent and cheap fertilizer may be
nude by mixing unieeched hard wood
ashes with fine ground raw bone. The
process is this: Under cover make a
‘ayer of moist soll free from stone,
thout three inches deep, and cover
this with two inches of wood ashes
into which rake about half an inch
of bone, and #0 proceed layer after

The Duke's Armored Train.
The Duke of Bedford has caused a
good deal of amusement to the inhab
itants of Woburn by his latest invest
ment, a sort of miniature armored
train, consisting of a truck, painted
brown like the Duke's livery. and
drawn by a small steam motor. Both
the motor and the truck are protected
by high sides, so that the Duke can
go in safety Into the enclosure where
he keeps the wilder animals of his
wonderful zoo at Woburn. Some of
these beasts are Inclined to be res
tive at times, and the Duke had a
narrow escape from being damaged
by a large specimen of deer whica

are feaced round with very high pal
ings, and the Duke, who is active and
«lim, was soon on the outside, but
his friend had more difficulsy and

THE HAT QUESTION
One is glad to note that picture hats
for street wear are being discouraged.
Nothing could be more inappropriate
with tailor gowns or shirtwaist suits,
ind, besides, large hats are in the way
‘n street cars, That they are too
onapicuous to be in good taste goes
without saying. Small hats for the
street are being shown at all good |
shops. A pretty example is in a mod- |
{fled sailor shape, and is a soft gray |
felt bound around the brim with a
gray velvel flacked with black. There
is a bow of the velvet and a wreath of
gray-shaded chrysanthemums with
pale lemon-colored centers,
A white lace hat is trimmed with
rosettes of pale blue velvet, and one
very large feather. This feather is
an ostrich plume, but Is uncurled. At
the ends of the fringes something has
been done to crimp and ruffle Mem
‘n a pecenilar way, and gives the
feather the strange
