Another design has the tnoks in olustors of three very lUiall ones at intervals all around. Its being such a decided innovation and change from what has been in vogue so long, no doubt, will add largely to its popularity. Automobile Coaluuie. In the park and on the roads lead ing to and from the out-of-towu head quarters of the Automobile olub se-vere-weather-defying costumes piped with leather and more ornate dresses for fair days have suddenly become plentiful. A ohecked homespun toilet iu blue and gray, displayed by a lady who has steered her own gasoline carriage all winter, has attraoted attention on its very appearanoo. Small, olose-set buttons fasten its short ooat so snugly as to leave no openin g at the throat, the better to direct admiration its bright leather cuffs and collar and the rolis of leather inserted in the seams. Narrow panels of leather appear on the front of its skirt, and on these are buckled leather pooketa, small and smart and most delioiously absurd iu ttieir affeotation of practicality. A new "suto" ooat, variations upon which are displayed by several devo tees of the automobile is long, sack lisped and mado of fine cloth of pale tobaooo shade. The novelty of the garment lies in the faot that it is guilefully stitohed to deoeive the un wary into taking it for an overskirted ooat, on set of threads making deep Vandyke points that seem to fall above shaped flounce, although said flounoe consists of nothing but. a sec ond set of threads orowded together 10 ten or twelve iuohes of horizontal stitching. Feature of the Mew Shirt Waleta. One of the features of the new shirt valuta is the contrasting colors pt the front band, the collar, cuffs and belt, if there is one. Borne of these are very pretty. There are no yokes to the waists. Borne of the new ones have a broad box plait iu the front, which is oniparatively narrow at the top and dtroedeni gradually until it reaohes FMSI0N& the Metropolis. the waist line, where it in frequently of some Dlain color combined with fancy silk. Fur instance, one of these waists is of bine-striped material, the alternating stripe being of white, cov ered with hair lines of black. To matob. these lines there is the collar with little bow, the cuffs, and a graduated box plait of black. Other delioate silks, showing considerable white, have the collar, tie and bos plait or white. This is pretty, but not as praotical, white the black is both serviceable and stylish. This way of making waists will bo found most eco nomical in utilizing old materials. Maw Colflare Ornament. The blaok velvet bow for evening coiffure has a powerful rival in tho new and very attractive artificial flower arrangement. This consists of two or three blossoms fastened to a shell hair pin by a tiny pad of silk or satin rib ben mntohing the color of the flower. Large flowers promise to bo the most popular. The orchid is certainly the handsomest for this purpose, although rosea and jonquils are exquisito. Largo purple velvet pansien are exceedingly effective in white hair. An Old Faahlou Revived. There is an ominous rumor that women are to wear gatherod skirts. Box-plaited skirts are hero already, and while they were not reoeivod with such open arms as was the habit-back, still they are being worn.- It remains to be seen if women will go back to the fashions of thirty years ago. Tight waists are worn already, and it ueedn only the promised gathered skirt to make the picture oomplete. Black Chiffon For Mournlug Wear.

Wherever practicable or at all con venient to have them so, it will be found that fluids of a square shape, or nearly so, are the most economical in fenoing, und tho best, for sovoral reasons. It takes less fence to enclose a given area iu the form of a square than any other shape, and next to tho square comos tho oblong. By all means let the corners of fluids have tight anglos, iiuleiss there aro impor tant topographical reasons for having thoui otherwise. When a Held is square thoro need be no short rows in cultivating it, aud tho exact area of tho field is easily calculated by the number and distance of the rows. Thus the faimor may know to a certainty the quantity of seed and fertilizer he is using to the acre, and how to count the cost of plowing aud cultivat ing any crop. Also tho yield per acre, if ho will weigh and measure. And if the whole farm is laid off iu squares, there need be no more guess work as to how many acres the cultivable land con tains. A farm looks better having square-shaped fields, and roads are placed to better advantage. It was a wise provision of some of the States to layoff the oounties in exaot squares, and then divide the land into square sections of CIO aoreo each. Thus all farms in those States may have the square form, whether containing the whole section, or only one-half, one fourth, or one-eighth thereof. Thin Seeding. A correspondent of the Now York Tribune writes that having been in formed by one whom he knew to be n good farmer that he had planted wheat sixteen inches between the rows and threo inches apart in tho rows, ono grain iu a place, and had harvosled eighty-four bushels to the acre, he planted a small plot to wheat on Sep tember 22, .1898, ou hard clay soil that was manured in the spring and plauted to etrawborries. Tho plant ing' whs six inches npurt iu the row betweon the strawberry rows. Two rows bo planted ono grain to the hill; ono row two graius to tbo hill. Ho gavo tho wheat one cultivation ou April 24. Tho average number of heads to the hill in the rows plauted ono grain to tho hill wus eightceu largo heads. The largest unrulier of heads to a biuglo grain was thirty, which gave a yield of 2097 grains. The row with the two trains to tho hill gavo un average of nineteen heads to the hill. Tho greatest yield was thirty-six heads to tho hill, which gave a yiold of 2035 grains sixty two less than the one grain hill. The yield was at the rate of 100 bushels to the acre, providing tho planting was twelve by nix iuohes. I planted a small pk t to oats ou the same kind of noil ou April 24, planting six inches apart, one grain to the hill, aud culti vated fonv times. The yiold was at the ruto of 175 bushels to tho acre, providing the planting was dene twelve by si- inches, lie has raised as many un forty-five large heads from a single grain, when plauted six by six inohos apart one grain iu a hill, and in 1897 ho hud two hills of rye, one of whio'j yiuided 12U heads and the other 127 hcuda, each grown from i'. single gisiu.

Araon" apple growers a sharp con troversy haa beeu csrriod ou for years ns to wholhir it is better to improve cur lint of available varieties by im porting fro.n foreign eouutries or de ve'opin new needling apples. Dis eouragcuioiits are found ou both aides. A very luro pioporlion of the apples brought from foreign countries have proved o." no vslno aft or having beeu fruited la hn ouuntry for a dozen years, whiio of tho seedliug a thou sand variation bar proved not worth tho growing to every one thut has proved good eauU(,H to bo propagated by graitiugii. Hi Bnt, howover discouraging the pro duction of ocedlings way be, it is true that all tho prioress that has beeu made iunpples, Icking the world as a wbnlo, U through seedlings. We must not forget that every good apple wo have now wr.u one of a multitude of seedlint-s. Tt is, of oonrse, recognized thut the woik of produoiug new varie ties iu this way ia very, very slow. The man thut plauta 10,000 seeds must handle s id care for 10,000 trees, lie must not ouly tske them out of the seedling rows and transplant them iu . to ground with more space, but he i must sometimes replant tbetn. Be sides that he must give them fair at tention aud cultivation. The Ground must be kept fertile and the trees must bo sprayed. The borers must be kept off and the canker worms must be prevented from stripping the trees of their foliage. The grower may have to wait ten years for results, as it is a known fact that a valuable va riety might bo late in coming into bear ing. After years of waiting for fruit he may find that not one of the 10,000 trees is superior in anything to fruit now being grown. Huoh must be the experience of those that labor for the production of new and valuable varieties. Tho man that begins the work knows that the chances are that he will never reap the benefit of his toil, for even if ho should develop a flno variety, years must elapse before he will be able to get anything from it. Ha realizes that he will have to cat thousands of scious from that good tree, and, graft other trees, aud that he must -then wait a few years more till they are fit to place on the market. Whon all that is accomplished, he still has tho question of advertising to face, and this means expenditure of labor and cash. But, hard as the way is, it is the surest way to gut new fruits. Instead of one man planting 10,000 seeds, a good many men should each plant a few seeds, and thus dis tribute tho burden over many shoul ders. Farm, Field nut! Fireside. l'oullry n nil Kxperlenn. Probably thoro is altogether too ranch dependence upon the advice of others in tho poultry business for some to succcod, and while it is wise to road of all the experiences of those who havo sucoeeded and failed, each ono must hoe his own row. If wo cannot profit by our own expeiience, it is useless to expect success with poultry. Others may guide us, but we have got to learn our losaon and make its application. Depend npou your own exertions, observation and intelligence, and then supplement this with the advice of those who have anything to say. That is the ouly true motto. I should say in regard to breeds that eaoh one must not at tempt to confine himself to one sim ply upon the advice of others. Seloct some of the half dozen most appro priate breeds, and try your hand at each. Then you will gradually find out what onos you like the best and can make tho most from. But it is in the matter of feeding tfiat this advice of depending upon yourself and studying your surround ings is the most applicable. There are, of course, certain standard feeds for chickens, such as corn, meal, and grain generally, which evory one must possess to a certain extent, but ont Bide of this, cheap but offootive sub stitutes must bo fouud. Clam and oyster shells are all right for feeding to poultry that is raised along the sua ooast, but for a thousand miles inland it would hardly pay to go into tho market and' buy these shells. The price would more than eat np the profits obtained through their use. But there may be green bone, lime stone, pebbles and rooks that could bo broken np fine, and the poultry would obtain nearly as good results from them. Those living near forosts would find in the soil and leaves un der the trees just the kind of dirt and food that chickens would enjoy. Proximity to large creameries en ables some to utilize the skimmilk on a largo scalo, whilo others would not be able to do this without paying too much for it. Small brooders ou the outskirts of lnrgo cities can make con tracts to receive the garbage and ref use daily, which would more than feed the poultry. At tho same time it would give suoh varied diet that lit tle else would bo needed. Eveu small towns and villages have euongh such refuse to support several large poultry furins. It in more n matter of study ing aud making tho most of surround ing conditions and opportunities than of buying and raisiug feed. Of course crops must be raised systematically for food, but the by-products of the farm, tho house aud the city and for est must bo utilized to their utmost. Annie C.

J L A WOOD SAWING SBVICF. ! PHILIPPINE IGORROTES. DURING THE CHASE OF ACUINALOO THEY DID COOD SERVICE. How Major Marnh and Hie Column of Travel-Worn American Holdler Were Welcomed to llamian AtolMHv or the Native Utility or Vlfforon Kick. TIIE Manila correspondent of tho Cbioago Tribune writes the following amusing no count of the Igorrote natives who hare been enlisted in our army and who accompanied Major Maroh during his pursuit of Aguinaldo: Major March and his column of 100 travel-worn meu, acoompanied by twioo as many Igorrote "sr adores," or burden beurers, reaohed Bagnau at nightfall. The Major knew that Aguinaldo had left the town several hours beforo, but hoped to got some information there -whioh would put him on tho right track. At Bagnau, which was nieroly a col lection of huts on a steep, sloping mountain side, hundreds of Igorrotos were waiting to greet us. As the column entered the town tho Frcsideota gave a siguul with bis cano and they burst into a lond shout ing, "Viva Espanol! viva Espanoll" The Major looked discouraged. Bo foro he did anything elso he called up tho Tresidenta andasolectcd chorus of lusty lunged Igorrotes and taught thorn to repeat after him, "Viva Americanos) viva Americanos!" Tho Igorrotes were willing. "Viva Ameri canos" meant os muoh to thorn ns Viva Espanol," or "viva Chicogo," or anything elso, They are muoh liko the Chioago newsboys. They wanted something "to holler," and one thing was as good as another and meant about as much. It was disoouraging to tho Major, after he had carofnlly drilled his chorus and informed thorn who we wero aud whenoe wo came, to have ono of them point at him as ho walkod tway and say in a breathless tono to the other Igorrotes about him, "Aqui oaldo." Major March explained that no was not Aquinaldo, but it did no good. Ouly a few had any clear idea of who or what Aguinaldo was, and Major March came as near realizing .heir ideal as anybody, so they at jnce applied to him that name. There was not much to eat in Bag nan. The chief, and, iu faot, about the only, food of tho peoplo seemed to be a species of sweet potato, which was not sweet in spite of its name, out whioh the soldiers eagerly bought is a welcome change from tho ever lasting: rice. Tho men made camp fires and jrowded about, for the evening was .locidedly cool. The Igorrotes sat stolidly huddled np in their blankets in tho middle of the road and every where also they could get thut was di rectly in the road. It was impossible o step withont walking over an Igor I'oto. The soldiers would scowl at :hom to movo nut of tbo way, but ihey merely looked stupidly ahead ind contiuued to squat whero they wore. Finally, tho exasperated soldiery, tiaviug exhausted a vocabulary of ex oletivos that would have made au old md hardened army mulo fall to his j knees in repentance and tears, spoke no mere to the Igcrioto brethren. If I ihey wanted one to got out of the road they simply pnshed him ovor nd rolled him down the trial. If they wanted ono to go to the spriug vfter water they merely put a canteen in his band, pulled him to his feet, turned his face toward tho spring and gave him a kick. The momentum usually snfficod to carry the Igorrote to the water and the alluring glaro of Iho camp fire brought him baok. If he forgot the water, two soldiers would kick him at ouoc, and the iu oreasod stock of energy was generally sufficient to carry him to the spring aud enable him to fill tho canteen be fore ho ran down. Major March and his offioors took possession of a little buildiug whioh the Spanish friars had erected and used as a mission and school house. There were great cracks on tho floor, and the cold monntaiu wind swooped into the room with a roar. It was as cold as the lako winds in winter. Wo tried to sleep, but tho floor was the hardest I had ever slept on. The wind howled and shriokod and it was ho oold that we would wake np every now and then with our tooth chatteriug and our feet and hands fairly numb. Added to tho cold wero some 350 distinct and separato smells poculiar to Igorrote towns, Euoh different wind as it whistled up through tho holes in the floor was laden with a new and more appalling smell. We took the blankets from our shivering bodies and wrappod them about our heads to keep out the Igorroto odors, but those vigorous aud perniciously aotive smells would havo goue through a brick wall, and all we could do was to try to sloep. Many of the soldiers, especially those who had no blankets, sat all night orowded around their oamp fires, where the cherry blaze and the fresh smell of burniug pine kept away both the oold and the smells. Of oourse, they had their troubles, too. Tbey would sent Igorrotos after fresh wood for the flro aud tho Igor rotes would nevor come baok. They would simply move over and squat down by the side of another fire. When the soldiers iu despair would go themselves after wood thoy would it ml. when tbey came back, a dozen gorrotes, their blankets over their .leads, sitting like wooden images about the cheerful blaze, aud somo of thorn fairly sitting on top of the glow ing embers. The soldiers would sadly turn the simple natives ou their sides and roll them down the hil, but soon they would be back agaic. We slept as long as we oould in tho mission house and theu, ono by oue during the night, we wonld steal out and sit for a while at a tire and tbon go baok and try to sleep again. Toward morning the soldiers begun cooking breakfast. Sergeaut-Mujor MaoDougal was at work boiling pota toes ou a flreplaoe in a native shack. The flreplaoe was like a big table oov ered with earth, on whioh three or four fires could' be made. Never was a more pathetio figure seen than that same Sergeant-Major MaoDougal as he tended the fires with one hand and belabored the Igorrotes, who were squatting ou top of the table.with the Other Thar war oat onntaat in stand on tho floor as tbo soldiers did. They mounted the tablo itself and sat al most in the fire. Not one stick of wood did they bring, nor did thoy even offer to help put fresh fuel on the flro. They only squatted and blinked like frogs, and whonover the Scrgoant Mnjor would turn his baok they would completely onoirclo the firen. When tbo Sergtant-Msjor retnrned with a now supply of wood and a fresh lot of invectives they would merely blink at him reproachfully. Wo waited in the morning for the return of tho two Igorroto ruuners whom Major Maroh had font over to Bontoo the night before. They loft at 8 o'clock at night and returned be fore 8 tho next morniug, having cov ered the fourteen miles of monr.tnia trail to Bontoo and return in that time. Besides that thoy had diseovered that Aguinaldo bad left' Bontoo and taken a trail 'to the south and that further pursuit by our column would be use less. To provo the truth of their state ments they brought notes written iu Spanish by Spanish prisoners in Bon too and also by insurgent soldiers, who offered to surrender if pur com maud wonld coma to Bontoo, These two runners proved that there was somo good in tho Igorrotes after all, and tho Major paid thorn $2.50 Mexioan apiece readily enough. Besides the long journey tbo run ners had made they had fairly carried their lives in their bauds, ns they wero at tho constant risk of being killod by Tagal sympathizers, even if they woro not discovered by insurgent soldiers themselves. So the Major duoided to return to Cervantes. WORDS OF WISDOM. Adversity is not invulnerable. Travel to learn and learn to travol. Misery oomos easier thau happiness.
