The fronts nre adjusted to the figure ly dingle-hunt darts that are hold to posi lion by moans of cords nnd buttons. Above the cloning the fronts are re versed in lapels that moot the rolling collar in even notches. The jacket, of LADIES' BASQUE WITH becoming length, reaches to the top of the deep girdle, except at the front where it extends in pretty elongated tabs. The seamless back is slashed at the centre and decorated with cord and buttons. The sleeves are two Beamed, having the moderate fulness of the npper portion arranged in gath ers. They are slashed at the wrists revealing the sleeve beneath. This tyle of Eton is particularly jaunty, being a decided innovation from the several plain styles. Cloth, serge, cheviot and canvas ore among the suit able (materials; the colors most se lected being green, brown and blue in all its various shades. To make this jacket for a lady in the medium size will require two and one fourth yards of forty-four-iucb. ma terial. Ladles' Basqnei The basque shown in the large illustration is an ideal model for ladies of generous figure, acoording to May Man ton. The pattern provides for an extra nnder-arru gore, which has the desired effect of decreasing the ap parent size of the waist while the soft fulness at each side of the vest front detracts from the prominence of the bast. The graceful fulness of the front and the seamless back are dis posed over glove-fitted linings that close in centre-front. The seamless V-shaped vest portion is sewed per manently to the right-front and 1b booked over the full edge of the left. The aide-fronts have gathers at the shoulder edges, the lower edges being disposed in overlapping plaits which, with the pointed outlines, give a grace ful effect to the-waist. The back fits smoothly across the shoulders, the fulness at the lower edge being laid in overlapping plaits that nre firmly taokeu down below ute waist line. If the seamless back is not desired the basque can be made to show the seams as seen in back view of engrav ing. A close standing band completes fa nee witn a mu or taoe a Dove, i s.;&rr?i iio9nttsteJr tit toft fulnes being caused by gathers on ths outer edge of sleeves. Short, full pnfTa caught np in butterfly effect drape the shoulders, and the wrists are nuiqiiely slashed over a deep rullle of lace. As represented, figured barege was employed in making; nar row black satin ribbon affording the docoration. The mode is applicable, however, to all manner of weaves ami textures including silk, peau-do-soto, canvas weaves, organdies, eta To make this basque for a lady in the medium size will require three and one-fourth yards of forty-four-inch material. ftext Reneon. Hide Combs. The new sido combs for next sea son's wear come in sets of three and four. The most stylish are hinged to gether. In sets of four, one comb goes above the knot, one below the knot, and ono on either sido. In sots of three, as a rule, the middle comb is to be used above the knot, and is the least bit higher and more ornate than the (wo sido combs. Where the four are hinged together, the tendency seems to lie to nave tltern all alike, differing only in length aud curve. The manufacturers assert that the teeth of the combs are coarser than last season, but if such is really the case it is not perceptible to the casual observer. The ornamentation of these combs as a rule is quite simple. The plainer ones, when ornamented with narrow bands of silver or gold, have ouly simplo designs cut into these bands. Except on those pieces. to be worn above the knot, there is no fill greo work. And jowols, when nsod, are sunk in the band, not raised above, as for the last fow seasons. Amethysts, it is said, will bo the popular stones, and only few dia monds are shown, to be worn in very black hair. Amethysts como in set tings of silver and gold, in polished and French gray finish and in polished and rose-finished silver gilt. Fashions For llnlr. If it is the perfection of art, says the New York Hun, to conceal art, the hairdressers are in this sort of decep tion in advance of their competitors in TWO UNDEII-AR1I GORES. ministering to the needs of women. Wavy, soft pompadour fronts are deft ly arranged under a few stray locks of your own hair, and all sorts of artis tically-made coils, puffs, toupees and short curls are mingled witu your tresses so cunningly that your best friend never suspects their existence. Large, loose waves are just as desir able in summer as in winter, and the extreme high pompadour has lost none of its popularity. The simple little knot, with a coil around it arranged high on the head, is a pretty way of dressing the hair with the pompadour front, or this same knot may be ar ranged lower, with a softer twist. Evening coiffures are completed by the addition of some ornament, an aigrette, a loop and bow of spangled tulle, .a little wreath of small roses, with a floral aigrette in the centre or one or two real roses, which are quite the prettiest of all. s Sleeves Growing Smaller. Sleeves are growing smaller, and the indications are that women will need no help next winter in putting on their coats. Probably they will accept it, however. ' Newest modes from Paris show sleeves, in some in stances, arm-tight Usually a miti gating frill appears at the shoulder, but some brave or foolish women are ready to adopt the close sleeve with ont a scrap of shoulder fullness. It is to be boped that fashion will not posi tively order the tight sleeve without a raffle, because it is unbecoming to those whose figures tn not perfect, DESIGNS IN COIFFPRBS. AGRICULTURAL T0PIO9. Ores t mler Trees. Sometimes we see trees that dry np the grass nnder them, while in the same neighborhood will be trees un der which the grass will grow greener than where it is not tlins shaded. An orchard which has long been plowed deep has most of its feeding roots below those of the grass. On the other hand, under the tree where grass has long grown, the true feeding roots come near the surface, and when a dry time comes the grass nnder it lacks mois ture and is very noon killed out. Thinning- Frnlt. Midsummer is the best season for thinning all the largor fruits. Just before the seed begins to form nature does a good deal of this thinning, and it is perhaps as well to wait nntil all the fruit that will naturally fall has fallen. Then pick off the surplus fruit wherever it seems to be superabun dant. In most casos this thinning does not decrease the amount of fruit because it so largely increases the size of individual specimens. It is the best frnrt that always pays best. That always means fruit that lias boon judi ciously thinned. Keep the Hlork Comfortable. There is sound sense in some ad vice found in the Country Gentleman as to keeping the animals comfort Me in hot weather; besides it is humane. The writer says that the comfort and happiness of any animal has a great influence on its health and thrift. The animal cannot be comfortable and hap py that ban to grub at a short, burned out pasture from morning till night in order to keep nlive; that can find no shelter from the fierce heat of the mid day nun; that must either perish or quench its thirst at a muddy pool or foul tank; that is tormented by flies from daylight till dark, finding no rest except for a few hours at night. Lanka Afler the Swill. Mrs. J. W. Wheeler, of Massachu setts, writes: Swill pails are a nui sance in hot weather, for they attract flies. Every farmer may avoid these swarming pests by having a small place screened off, large enough for the pails and barrel for standing while mixing. Have thin littlo room quite a distance from the kitchen, at the farthest end of tho buildings if thpy be attached, and pro-vide good ventilation by a screoned window opposite the door, which should also be screened. Another holp is to scour and scald the pails overy few days during the hot test weather. It takes but a few min utes with a strong bristle brnsh, a handful of soap and plenty of hot water. Many a germ hides in the swill barrel or pail, but the farmoi seldom considers this until a fat hog dies on his hands nnd thou when it is too Iato he scos the nocossity of clean liness. About Urine Nulling'. There are at least two advantages in brine salting of butter in prefer once to dry salting, one is that there is littlo or no danger of oversalting, and the other is that tho risk of over working is largely avoided. Rather more salt will be needod by brine salt ing than by dry salting. Use quite strong brine nnd let the butter re main in the brine for some time, half an hour at least. No more salt will enter the globules of bntter than is needod and the overplus can be readi ly drained off. Very little working is needod; in faot, only the amount nec essary to work into a proper shape to send to market will be necessary, and this avoids the necessity or risk ot working the butter into a salty con dition in order to got the salt distri buted through the butter evenly. By this plan there will be no streaks to work out, time and labor is saved in handling and getting the butter ready for market, while there is little or no risk of the grain of the butter being ruined. A good per cent of butter sent to market is seriously injured by too mnoh working, first to get the but termilk out and to get the salt in. Working the buttermilk out and brine salting largely does away with this, and seoures a better quality of pro duct Orange Bulletin. Animals Need Shade. All the animal world, if it could, would choose the shade during the ex treme heat of summer days. The dog following his master along the eountry road dips in the roadside pool, and the horse, if given the rein, will slow up to a walk under a refreshing bit of shade cast by a row of trees." Is it any wonder, asks W. H. Gard ner in the Humane Jourual, that the comfort-loving swine has the cholera when we see them, by the hundred, in great fields with no better shade than a wire fence affords? It is not many years ago that a promi nent New York agriculturist a feeder and futtener of cattle by pasturage cut down all his shade trees because his scales told him the cattle gained flesh faster in the fields having no shade. The cattle took too muoh com fort in the shade, did not eat enough to fatten as fast as in fields without shade. We believe this to be a mis taken theory. The more comfort an animal takes the faster it will lay on flesh. The cow having aooess to quiet shade gives the most milk of the most health ful quality. The horse loves shade as well as the man, or the dog, or any other creature. Let it not be forgot ten that when the sun's heat is op pressive to one animal it is to all. When the sun is a life-giving elixir to one it is likely to be to all. It costal naugnt but care and attention. Pro tection should be the first fruit of civi lization. Insurrection Bonds.
