THE two-column cnt nicely il
Instrates about the simplest
rind the prettiest style for
(t making cotton gowns that haa
been taken np this snmmer. The
bodice haa a blouse front effect. The
top has a collar of folds, with a rosette
on the right side. There is a brotello
effect with butterfly bows on the shoul
ders. The ceutre of the bodice is fall
A CHAKMINO
and the sides are plain. A belt of
folds with a rosette finishes the waist,
below which two long bands of ribbou
trimming descend to the hem of the
eeveu-gorcd skirt. The sleeves of the
bodice aro of the large leg-o' mutton
ize, with close wrists.
The skirt hnugs very gracefully and
has un organ-pleated back. The ef
fect of the bauds of ribbon shown in
our picture, terminating in large bnt'
terdy bows, is very novel and pretty.
The skirt is made wide at the hem by
the large pleat at the back. All the
summer materials look well in this de
sign. The foulards, creponettes, ere
pons and the girghams having a stripe
of lace, as well at the cotton batiste,
and the lawns, and the dottoj Swiss
muslins, make up beautifully aftir this
design, but if a more expensive dress
be looked for the now taflfetas are
charmiug in this model. There are
many new cottous which show lovely
colors and designs, and which miy al&o
be eit-ii as suitable to tho design above
described. As regards color, all the
exquisite violet tiuts aud delicato
greens, the "doe," fawn and wood
tints are all fashionably worn. Palo
given, light gray, violet and light rod
are most worn ot all.

are now made with a blouse or basque

JAPANESE OOW.V3.
The prettiest thin dresses are the
Japanese ones. All the readers of old
romances will rnmember how the hero
ines always wore pineapple gauzes at
their first balls, and the prettiest
gauzes are those imported direct from
Japan.
One I saw was of white, with a helio
trope stripe, aud had been brought
over from Japan in a trading ship a
great many years ago. It had been
laid away in an old trunk, whence it
was brought a few wouks siuoo, with a
lot of other treasures, that until now
have been vote 1 mere lumber. The
dressmaker made it up over a helio
trope satin slip and low cnt waist.
The gauze itself was ororod on the hips,
but gathered very .all at the back.
Tho waist was fulled in from shoulders
to belt, and was trimmed with broad
rutlles of the same over the shoulders,
and m jabot fashion down the front
of the waist. The customary belt and
sash finished the gown, which had to
wear with it a broad Leghorn bat,
trimmed with heliotrope gauze the
exact color of the heliotropo stripe.
Why heliotrope and white should look
ao cool is beyond my comprehension,
but it cert inly does, and is at present
the most fashionable combination of
color.
CHECKED TAFFETA SLEEVK3.
If the sleeves of a pet cloth dress or
a serge frock have given out ruplaoe
the old onus with a pair of big sleeves
made from the new ohooked taffetas.
You can also have a vest or waist fin
ish ot the silk and the effect is quite
stunning.

Any one growing flowers in pots,
even on a rery limited scale, ought to
have a good brass syringe. Hnoh an
instrument is good for a lifetime, and
it will come into play almost daily the
year round. With it, effective work
can be done in showering plants with
water or inacctiokle, a all parts of

whisk-broom as a sprinkler belongs to

CRANVI.ATKD BUTTER.
Granulated butter can be produced
in a square box-churn, a harrol-chum,
or, in fact, in any other churn that
has no insido fixtures, where tho
churning is done by the concussion of
the cream falling from one side of tho
churn to tho other. Tho churning
should be done at about r. low a tem
perature as it is possihlo and have the
butter "come" in a reasonable time
eey forty-rlve minutes 1o an hour.
When the cream breaks so n to
clear oft the gloa in tho churn reduce
the temperature still morn by the ad
dition of cold brine of col! water and
salt. Then run the churn again a
short time till the granule are of the
size of clover seed or wheat kernels,
or whatever sizo is desired. Now
draw off the buttermilk ami wash tho
butter two or three time with pure,
cold water. This will harden ttio
granules so that they will not hums
together and each one bo as ruuud as

In the hot days of tho midsummer
it is r. trying time for tho sheep with
their flannel coats under the hot bti.i,

SAXTT ART FARM LU'E,
The following extracts are from a
paper publibhod iu the Hygieuio Ua
cotte :
It would seom that the most sani
tary of all places of abode for human
beings would be in the free open
country under the direct influence of
sunshine, pure air, water and nutural
food ; so it is, aud so it would remain,
but for the insanitary influences ere
ated by man himself, whereby he de
feats hi own desire to lire aud laovi
and have a being, which would be a
type of health and happiness. Why
is this so T
A description of a farm home, con
tructed npou sanitary conditions and
environed by insnnitation may answer
the question.
Ilouse built on damp or low ground.
Damp, uncementod cellar. Air and
sunlight excluded from cellar. Ceil
ings of rooms too low, causing bad
ventilation in winter ami discomfort
from heat in summer. No provision
made for proper heating iu winter.
Too much foliage about the houso ex
cluding air aud light. Slops, wash
water from clothing and sewerage
thrown on the ground near tho house.
Darn and barnyard located on damp
or low ground. Stable manure throw n
out into barnyard, where it remains
uncovered from rain or sunshine. Its
juices washed over the barnyard and
adjacent ground.
The well or spring from which water
is drunk located ho that it is likely to
bo contaminated with drainage from
slops, and barnyard.
How can such ill-conditions bo rem
edied?
Tho following suggestions may an
swer the questions:
ltutl 1 tho houto on a knoll, ground
sloping in everv direction. Let it
face the south or southeast. Cement
cellar bottom ami walls. Make coil
in 14 of rooms ton to twelve foet liiii.
(live access to sunlight and air into
every room, liuild only two stories
with high garret over ull tho house.
Spread the house out over much
grouu.1, aud never have tho kitchen iu
the basement or cellar.
1'rovido a comfortablo room iusido
the house for bath-room, aud miko
provision for warming this room iu
winter.
Provide long drainage away from
tho house aud wstor supply, for h us.
slop, sjwera.je, laundry aud wash
waters.
Ibiild tho barn on a dry elevation.
1 Provide a cement concaved receptacle
under cover for manures; these, with
their juice, aro tho savings bank of
j tho farm. Never permit decaying or
fermenting veget .bio or animal matter
i to exist for a m mont anywhere on
i tiie farm. Irain an I dry u; swamp

j eases, which arise from dec tying toga
