Speaking of some of the women octogenarians of England a writer in London Answers pronounces ns prob ably the most remarkable member of the aristocracy the aged Duchess of Cleveland, famous by her own indi viduality, and still more famous in the person of her celebrated son, Lord Koseberv. Though the Duchess is well over eighty years of ago, she is more juvenile in some things than many women of fifty.

Yet her time is fully occupied, hIiq holds a council once ft wesk, sees her Ministers, gives various audiences to various officials and others every day, and superin tends her children's studies with the greatest care, s.iys The Lady.

A military or bolero collar distln guishes the jaunty jacket wuicli ex tends to the waist. The coloring of oriental rugs is less likely to be out of harniouy with wall decoration than any other floor-cover ing. Painted woodwork is more desirable than natural finish for bedrooms, or wherever especially dainty effects are desired. Lace draperies are used on almost all dress materials. Combinations of color are among the favorite studies of artists in costuming. Hairdressing is growiug more and more elaborate.

The new est patterns are early Victorian in de sign aud color. Smull and large checks conventional flora, and geometric tig ures denote a return to old modes. Women of wealth who have r.tores of costly lace aro having prieeles shawls made over, or draped, into the popular style. Less fortunate one; have the opportunity to buy lovely garnitures ready made for a small sum. Tailor-made coats and skirts alike, of cloth, tweed or cheviot, are quite as much worn as ever; and there is no end of fancy waists to wear with theui, the most pronounced of all being those of bright plaid silk, mude up iu the shirt-waist style.

Concentrating (lie Mannr There is no farm that makes all the manure that its owner could profitably se in cultivating it; hence we mnst ither purchase commercial fertilizers or restrict his production to the area he ran fertilize. It docs not pay to spread nn insufficient quantity of manure over the whole farm in order to cnltivato Iho whole. That Involves waste of labor on land that had much better be left in grass, though where there is A car market for garden products buy ing Commercial fertilizers will always! pay. Ill proportion to their rmsctive- ness, these concentrated manures pay better than staple manure lnndo on the arm. llalrrlng nnd notation. Dairying assists in arranging the rotation of crops on tho fnrm and com pels the adoption of clover as one of the sources for retaining fertility. The manure made by a herd of dairy cows is as valuable as tho milk sold from some herds, and in tho rotation of crops it is applied to tho fields which require it for certain crops. Corn, for instance, being a crop that can utilizo any amount of mauure, is given care fill cultivation, which cleans the ground for wheat or oots, the time uring which tho corn occupies the land also permitting of tho decomposi tion of tho coarse materials. The mannre should be used on gross feed ing crops, corn being one of the best for that purpose. Home aud Farm. Acidity of Land. The acidity of upland soils is prob ably due to the removal of crops and the use of certain fertilizers that ex haust the lime and other basio ingred ients of the soil, leaving more of tha acid than would be the case wera nature allowed to take her course. Some plants thrive best under such condition, but clover, timothy and beots are injured on such soils. There is no easy way of telling to what ex tent soils are acid, but a strongly marked reddening of blue litmus pa per indicates acidity. A dangerous degreo of acidity, or at least a fatal lack of carbonate of lime, appears to exist in upland and naturally well drainod soils and is not confined to muck and peat swamps and very wet lands, as most American and many other writers seem to assume. Such assumption is because the partial fail ure of certain crops upon these lands has been attributed to other reasons. These are the conclusions arrived at by the Rhode Island experiment station after several years' work. The rem edy seems to be a generous application of air-slaked lime. The amount ap plied varies from COO to 2000 pounds per acre, to be broadcasted and har rowed in. American Agriculturist. Dissolving Bone with Sulphuric Acid. It is practically impossible for fann ers who have raw bones to dissolve Iheni economically so as to get them in such finely divided state that they can easily be applied to crops as tne com mercial phosphates are. These are made from burned bone, which can then be finely ground, aud the sul phurio acid will dissolve it aud reduce to fine powder. We Uouut wiieinev this can be done with green fieHli bone, which has animal matter in it nearly or quite as important as the bone phos phate. If wo had a big pilo of bones that we wanted to apply to laud, we should cut or break them in as fine nieces as possible, and spread them over au orchard or vineyard, then plowing them five or six indies be neath the surface, taking caro not to put them below the vegetable mould. In contact with this, enough carbouio ooid gas would be developed by the do- composition of vegetable matter to dis solve the outer portions of the broken pieces of bone. These would be very quickly covered w ith line feeding roots from trees or vines. uerever roots are feeding, more carbonic acid gas is developed. The rsnlt is that aftel two or three ears tho bono would bo honeycombed and filled with roots. Even large bones can be disposed of this way without loss. Tlaced any where in the soil of an orchard the roots will be sure to find theiu. Bos ton Cultivator. WISE WORDS. Only in a world of sincere men Is unity possible, and there, in the long run, it is as good as certain, Man is like a plant, which requires a favorable soil for the full expansion of its natural or innate powers. What men want is not talent, it is purpose; in other words, not the pow er to achieve, but the will to labor. Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasuros of tho mind as harrow ing and planting those of the earth. If we would be happy, we should open our ears when among the good and shut them when among the bad. Generosity, to deserve tho name, comprises tho desire and the effort to benefit others, without reference to self. Men are so constituted that every body undertakes what he sees another successful in, whether he has aptituda for it or not. i If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost: that is where they should be. Now put foun dations under them. There can be no social beauty, where disorder prevails, no national beauty where law is sat at naught, no beauty of life where the true ends of life ara disregarded. Character is measured by the dis tance traveled from the starting point, and everything depends upon whether the progress has been up stream or down. Ilethink thee of something that thou oughtest to do, and go aud do it, if it be but tho sweeping of a room or tho preparing of u meal or a visit to friend. Heed nut thy feelings: do thy work.

"Do you know that publlo intoxication Is diminishing rather than increasing, and that, too, In spite of the increase in popula tion?" asked Magistrate Deuel, of the New York City Tolice Court, recently. W hen asked to what ho attributed tlio do orcase, ho replied, as follows: "Well, there, may bo, of course, many reasons. In my opinion tho chief reason Is to bo found In the Increased and constantly Increasing general sentiment ngainst publlo intoxication, and I believe this sentiment prows, not so much because our standard of morals has been so much raised as bo eauso of the constantly Increasing require ments of all business and all professions. Years ago, a man wllo got publicly drunk onco in a while, or twleo In a while, was not so Rrentlv frowned upon. His ability to do biisiuess. or practice his profession was not a question on that account. Now adays It Is very different.

One of tho worst forms of eiimo is the druKKing of liquors by evil-minded people, who wish thus to take advantage of their unsuspecting victims. An investigation of the recent death of a man who was known to have been in the company of notorious characters in a drinking saloon discovers that one of the devices for drugging vic tims for robbery Is to engago tho Intended victim In a drinking bout, and to propose tho touching of glasses beforo drinking, and while touching them to drop a "penny pill, which has been hold com eul"d m the hugcre.
