| HEW YORK FASHIONS. jf Designs For Costumes That Have Be ll come Popular in the Metropolis. E NEW YORK CITY (Special).—On the Btreet it is now possible to take stock of the new coats, and a great many full-box shapes with Baglan shoulders THE NEW RAGLAN. certainly are worn. Of course they should be tho exclusive property of the youthful and slender, for ample proportions find no strength or refuge in their straight trying lines. Every thing except a dress coat, that fairly lays itself out in its gorgeous revers, buttons well up onto the chest, with a irs. fly front, too, and there, only a -few inches below the chin, opens back with modestly small silk-faced lapels. Again, everything except a dress coat, the eccentricities aud preroga tives of which will be dwelt upon later, has pockets, plenty of them, and for true service designed. A llaglan pocket, for instance, when it is nobly planned, has a right-hand slip in its skirts that opens into a capacious silk lined pocket, and then there is, on the same side, a breast pocket. A ticket packet is its descriptivo title given by the tailor men, aud if this coat is used for traveling the virtues of that upper pocket can be tested and appreciated. Three of tl»o Senpim'* Triumph*. Ou many models lace motives are mingled aud form part of the appliqtied garniture. The arraugement requires taste, but when properly treated the effect is absolutely charming. To look its best the shade chosen for this style of trimming must not correspond ex actly with that of the dress, but in preference be a shade or two lighter when the lace which accompanies it is white, and darker in the case of black lace being chosen. One of the most striking costumes of the season is shown iu the large engraving. It is a piece-dyed robe with scarf draperies of fancy material, aud is from the Dry Goods Economist. Tho costume on the left of the large engraving repre sents a tailor-made princess robe of Dresden-blue satin delaine, trimmed with a scroll design iu steel beads. A similar adornment conceals the back seam on the skirt and corsage. The • central figure shows a rich silk visiting dress of "roseau" green, with side panels of handsome cream-colored renaissance lace, framed V °n either side by three folds of dark ;?xeen velvet. The bodice, which bulges slightly in front, but without fulljiess, has bretelles and epaulettes of the same lace, which terminate at the shoulder seam. Cuffs of the same at the wrists. Small embroidered cambric collar with long "Regate" cravat of roseau-green silk. Black Velvet Much Used. Black velvet is Been in some form en \)?piriy all light gowns. Bands across the front, in many cases, tip pear to fasten the skirt. Others, again have a wide black velvet band fron the centre of a high stock, secured in front by a buckle. The favorite way, however, is to thread white lace witb narrow velvet and use the lace as trimming. Entire gowns are made ol this velvet, threaded with insertion, sewed deftly together. A beautiful toilet of ecru guipur* has two small capes covering thf shoulders, the one over tue other. These and the standing collar, also of gnipnre, are threaded with very nar row black velvet. A torsode of blaok velvet descends in front to the waist, while blaok velvet bows continue th« effect on the front of the skirt. Hangs Are Becmnlus I'opulnr. Bangs are slowly but surely super seding the pompadour. The most novel feature of the coiffure is the pouch at the back. It is often so ex aggerated that it hangs over the col lar. The scold locks are caught up the middle of the pouch with a dainty bit of a gold lace pin and a luxurious head of hair is affected by padding the pouch with a wide pompadour roll. How Skirt* Are Made. Skirts are still made to touch in the frcnt uud sides, with quite a dip in the back, but have plaits at the waist line, rather than the perfectly plain effect. None of the new gowns are gathered at the back. Two Pretty Effects. A pretty effect in braid is shown in its application on a blue cloth tailor made suit. The tunic appears in this instance, which is taken from the New York Sun, over a very plain overskirt an.l trimmed with black braid in con ventional designs. The coat is one of the shortest, and short even ns re« gards the elongated frout, which cau be called 1 >ng only because the back is so far from that. The way in which the braid is applied seems more in keeping with the idea of the tailor-made gown than does the wandering floral pattern that is often used. Mink fur lines the high collar, and mink pluys an importaut part on the hat, where it forms the crown. Tlie charms of black and white are to be seen in an extremely plain but very fetching gown. The skirt of black cloth is unrelieved with the ex ception of a row of white stitching. The dainty little bolero is bordered by a row of the white stitching, too, and is fastened with buttons of black and white. On the revers and collai another note is brought to bear, for they are faced not with white, but with a delicate corn-colored material. Tha toque brings the black, the white and the yellow into combination by using black and white plaid with a narrow line of tho yellow running through 11LACK CLOTH TAILOB I BLUE OLOTII MADE. | GOWN. the whole.

It was found at the Wisconsin station that pigs when fed with the sow before weauiug made more economical gains than the same pigs did after weaning, the difference in favor of the former method b3ing 20 per cent. It took 237 pounds of graiu, half corn meal aud half shorts, together with 475 pounds of creamery separator skim-milk to produce 100 pounds of gain with a sow and pigs before wean ing, while the same pigs after wean ing required 288 pounds of meal and 570 pounds of milk. This shows the value of feeding the young pigs through the sow. Fait and Water. Sheep naturally crave salt, as do all other auimals, wild or domestic, so far as we know their habits. Whether the salt has any other duty to do in the animal economy than to assist the digestion we do not know, but it is a well known fact that grazing animals seem to need it more than carnivorous animals, and especially seem to need it when their food has a large propor tion of woody fibre, more than they do when having a succulent food, like green grass, roots aud ensilage. But with salt they need water. Sheep drink but little at a time,yet in winter feeding upon dry hay, they drink very often. The water should be pure and clean. Stagnant water is often one of the causes that bring on stomach worms, which kill many lambs, aud if not fatal to older sheep,will keep them weak and in poor condition. Sweet l'otitto Information. The sweet potato is most commonly propagated by means of the buds or shoots from the roots, which are called sets. The roots are planted iu hotbeds and tiie sets which develop are removed and transplanted in the field. This crop is sometimes grown from vine cuttings. For lightening the labor of trans planting sweet potato sets, woolen tongs, or transplanters drawn by bo' ses, may be used. In experiments at the Alabama station cuttings gave a slightly larger yield than sets; at the Louisiana station sets produced tho larger crop. In Louisiana vine cuttings sixteeu to twenty-four inches loug gave larger yields than shorter cuttings. It is generally regarded as unprofitable to move sweet potato vines after last cul tivation. Poultry a* a ltr<>a<l Winner. Can an inexperienced person make a living from poultry? This question is often aske I but seldom answered satisfactorily to the beginnor. That it requires experience ns well as prac tical knowledge to successfully raise and market poultry in any consider able quantity is eeriain, especially since the introduction of tbe incuba tor an I brooder have so largely sup planted the time-honored heu iu her maternal duties of ca.ing for tho young chicks. The fault with most people when engaging in the hen business is a de sire to possess a large number of foul before they learn to care for and pro tect them from disease. They assume that it is nothing to hatch chickens, and in this they are right, especially if they possess an incubator. The real trouble begins after the young chicks are out of the shell, in piopjrlv minis tering to their voracious appetites, and preparing their systems for the severe task of putting forth their dress of feathers, this, as all breeders know, being the most critical period in the lives of.the young chicks. Numerous persons, both male and female, have taken up the business and made a suc cess of it without previons expei ienca, but in a majority of casas they stirt in a modest way with a few hens the first year, and work into it gradually, thereby gaining knowledge that no amount of reading could impart. A good paper, devoted wholly or iu part to the subject is a great aid, but "practice makes perfect," and it is essential to begin at tho bottom and work out and prove yourself the ideas gleaned from your books. Poultry raiding in its various phases is a science, but we can answer the question that h ads this article in the affirmative, provided the would-be poultryman has capital sufficient to equip a small plant, and patience and diligence to enable him to work cau tiously, and build up his business as he attains to knowledge.—Americas Cultivator. The Rest Pays Itcst, The great difficulty in making farms pay is that most farm crops cannot be assorted into good, better and bes*. They must be sold at so nearly a uni form price that there is no money iu it. In stock growing and in fruit growing such wide differences iu value can be made that it is possible to charge the very rich, who always want the best, whatever the best is worth more, and, if it be not too easily pro duced, more than this. So long as a man grows only for the universal mar ket, ho must sell at prices which even the poorest can pay. But let him grow something better than can be found i|i the market, and ho cau get enough higher prices to pay him double for all his extra trouble. This is the secret of getting rich in all kinds of busi ness. Money is to be got from those who have it, and not from those who have it not. Does this forget the poor? Not at all. The struggle to improve quality is always cliauzing its ground. The best of oue year is thus placed within the reach of all a few years later, and another best has taken its place. Barring accidents from untimely frosts, it is tho best fruit that pays tbe most profit ond tint can be grown most cbeui ly if tbe average of years is consideied. Tbe labor of spraying with insecticides and with fungicides to make tbe fruit fair, and tbe further labor of tbinniug it, produces so much more fruit every year that it can be sold with profit within the reach of all. The very rich will still get the best and pay for it, but tbe ] oorest will get more and better fruit than j they ever before enjoyed.—Massachu setts Ploughman. C'nring for Celery. As celery grows naturally.it spreads j on the surface of the ground like the carrot. Hence, the first process by which celery is treated is termed ! "handling;" by it the leaf stalks of each plant are drawn together and ' some earth pressed firmly around | them by tbe hands, to hold them in |an upright position. After this is (lone, more earth is drawn towards I the plants with a hoe, until there is ! enough to prevent their spreading j open, says the Rural World. If the celery is intended for marketing pre vious to December 1, it should be | banked up or otherwise bleached iu the field. Banking up is done im mediately after "handling." It con sists in plouiug earth against the celery to begin with and then finish ing it off with a shovel or wide hce until the earth is banked up to tbe . full height of the celery. This had better be done iu several operations as the plauts grow and need it. j Celery that is to be used early should be bleached with boards. Those ten inches wide are the best. : The plauts are generally handled be ; fore the boards are put on. A board should be put upon each side of the i row quite close to the plants and be | held iu place with a peg. If for any I reason there are vacancies in the row ! or the plants are not close enough to ! exclude light from the stalks when the boards are put up, the vacancies may be filled with hay or straw. For j late autumn use, it is best to bleach i with earth, as it also protects from frosts. Celery will stand many light frosts, ! but hard freezing is liable to injure it, ' and it should never be handled when j frozen. It is seldom safe to allow it | to remain unprotected iu the ground after the first of November iu this lat itude. The plants are generally lifted with a spade after a furrow has bedn plowed away from the row on one ] side. Most of the soil should be taken off the roots and the old outside leaves removed before storing. Iu this sec ' tion to keep well, celery should be stored in a cold, moist cehar or frost proof shed. If it does not whiten quickly enough, the plants may bo watered and kept warm and thus ! started into growth, which results iu forming the tender white shoots very i quickly. For home use a good way to keep : celery is to pack the plants closely to gether, upright, in boxes twelve by eighteen inches wide, with the bottom i covered with moist sand, a little of which should be worked in among the toots. There is no need of hav ing sand between the plants. These boxes, when packed, should bo kept iu a cold, damp cellar. The bleaching of celery is simply the result of the plant making growth in the dark, and bleached celery will keep but a short time and should be used as soon as whitened. Celery for use in the latter part of winter should be quite green in color when put into j winter storage, for early wiuter use it ! should be partly bleached when stored, i For winter use, celery should be left out as late as is safe iu the fall,so that ; the cellar or pit where it is to bo stored may bo thoroughly cooled oil j before it is put in. Farm an<l Onrden Notes. Do not urge the horse to drink water which he refuses, because it is probably hard and unwholesome, It is a good plan to have clean watei always accessible to the horse while in the stable. It is natural for u horse ! to drink when thirsty. Brush the udder aud surroundiug j parts just before milking, and wipe them with a clean, damp cloth ot sponge. Ik is useless to attempt to keep well | anima's in a healthy condition where I they are compelled to eat aud sleep | with sick (,nos. Going from a1 ot stable into the cold air suddenly should be avoided, as also to the contrary, as it produce.- colds and \iolent inflammations. Bai ley meal is good for hog, pro ' vided some muscle-lorming material !is fed with it. This can be supplied i in clover hay, green clover,shorts aud i tho like. Hens sitting late in the season will j often do well on a nest on the bare turf in a shady place. The nest is hollowed out just enough to putin e little straw and to retain the eggs. Forbid drugs being administered tc your horse without your knowledge, especially nitre. They are not needed to keep the animal in health, and may do the greatest and most sudlen mis chief. Give v'r.e horse as much water as ht ! will drink three times a day or often j er. When frequently watered a horsi will drink less on tho whole than i ! watered at long intervals, and will no , do himself any injury. ItecoiMl for Killing Dog*. i I)r. Henry ,T. Schenck has just com pleted his twelfth year as dog con stable of Boston, during which tinn he has killed over 10,000 uulicensei dogs. He gets $1 for each dog hi kills, but his expenses are not small Owing to tho scarcity of wood an< coal in Ontario, Canada, an effort liai been made during the past six month' to utilize peat for file'. ,1 f| Do not wash your hands and face with a common laundry soap, or if you do, don't complain when you find them rough, hard and chapped. Ordinary laundry soaps are good for scrubbing floors, but not for the skin. Ivory Soap makes a creamy lather that rinses easily and takes the dirt with it. The natural oil of the skin washed with Ivory Soap is not removed, and the skin is left soft and smooth. IT FLOATS. COPYRIGHT 1830 BY THE PROCTCr? fc GAMBLE CO. C!NCIN?MTI Save llic IVlclicU.

Names were given to the writer, but they are suppressed for obvious rea sons. A young womau on the Erin while every one was waitiugfor a wind asked: "What slang expression which you have in America pleases a pussy cat?" The listeners all gave it up, of course. "Why, rubber neck," was the reply. One of Sir Thomas's British friends neard it, and thought it was so good that he called a friend up to hear the conundrum. The one summoned came all expectancy. The enthusi astic admirer of the story could not wait for the young woman who had originally sprung the joke to repeat it, but started to tell it himself. "What slang expression which yon have in America pleases a pussycat?" he asked. The new man also gave it up. "Why, smooth her back," was the reply, and the answer brought out u greater roar than had greeted the orig inal story.—New York Tribune. Hit by Twenty -fieven Mullets at Once. Among those who arrived at San Francisco by transport the other day was D. W. Krider, of Wharton, Ohio, .if Kattery K, Third Artillery, who gained the distinction of being the worst wounded man in the war. In February last he was with his battery >n a native attack on Manila, when word mine to fall back. Utah Uattsry was jiven the same order, but failed to observe it, and a shrapnel shell from this battery exploded. Two men were killed and Krider received twenty-six ■vounds from the shrapnel bullets, while at the same time a Manser bul let passed through him. Krider still carries some of the bullets, and it is loubtful if he will ever recover his health and strength. There are five thousand theatres in ;he United States. K !
