The Duke of Ossone, while viceroy

The porter bad called out, "Make

without collision, but bla bundle caught

tore It Bolue wna highly Indignant,
and had the porter arrested. Tho vice

matter, told tho porter to pretend ho

When tho case come on and Soltu

turned to the porter and asked him
what he bad to say In reply. The por

"What Judgment do you want me to

viceroy.
"Oh, your excellency," replied Bolus,
falling Into the trap, "the man la an Im

"Then," said the viceroy, sternly, 'If

Treehenlnf " Far a (lewa.
For antumn a very pretty finish and
general freshening up for gowns that
have been pretty well pnt their pboes
during a long and active season, is a
deep collar of tnousselinede soie over
eolor. This is made of mousseline,
gathered very full, and trimmed with
five rows of narrow satin ribbon and
edged with triple rnnhing. of mons
seline. The same effort is carried ent
on the collar, and finished in Uie hack
with a large black satin bow. The
lining is also accordion plaited and
allowed to come an inch and a half or
two inches below the mousseline.
These collars are especlalfy effeotive
over scarlet or greou.
The Couttna; tioee fUeeee.
The one absolute oertainty for the
ooming season is the close sleeve. In
ooujnnotiim jmlTti, caps and epaialettea
are, however, still permissible com
bined with decorations consisting of
tucks, stirrings, tiny lace-edged frtjls,
inanrtiop, ribbon, etc. The tnodel de
picted iu the sinsll illustration shows
an extremely efTectivo sleeVe suitable
fbr soft, pliable materials. As refra
seated, it is made of Liberty satin, In
the shade of brown known as castor.
The lining is two-seamed, while the
wrinkled or mousquetaire portion is
fitted by an inside seam only. Tte
top is surmounted by a soft full putt
the fulness at the top being adjusted
by gathers. The mousquetaire por

three-fourths yards of twenty-two-inah
material. The trimming will require
five-eighths yards of the same width
goods.
Crepe Comes la Again.
A dealer in mourning goods says
that crape is being revived for hand
some mourning costumes. It will be
worn both for veils and dress trim
mings. Now that the period for
wearing black has been so muoh
shortened by sensible women, it is to
be regretted that the use of a material
conceded to be injurious to health
should be reintroduced.
Dainty Uouee Gown.
The newest house gown is a marvel
of graceful lines, sweeping folds and
clinging drapery. It is oonflned at
the waist by a smooth belt of embroida
ered stuff, and from the waist linee
sweeps away to a graceful trail. The
gown is slightly low at the neck, and
u trimmed with broad insertion.
AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.

Many mlitures of cotton seed oil,
eoal nil, etc., have linen tried as a
remedy for the pestiferous flies which
harass cows. Perhaps nothing has
proved more successful thsn flsh nil,
to which is added a little carbolic acid.
It is best applied with a broad, flat
paint brush. It is especially objec
tionable to flics, and probably is a
chief const ituent of many of the patent

Much of the bated hay that comes to
market is musty. Most farmers when
they hale hay think it need not be
very dry, as the bales are small. But
the amount of hay packed in tbem is
always sufficient to get np a violent
ferment unless the hay is properly
dried bof .ire it is put into the bale. If
there were more care used in baling
hay the price for it would be much
better than it is, as the bay itself
would be better worth it
How to Make a Melon Palrh.
I try to select the poorest spot of
ground available. In the fall I plow
a deep trench where I wish to plant
my melons. Then I collect all the
weeds and briars which have been cut
on the farm, place them in this trench,
tramp them down as solidly as pos
sible and then plow back the ground
so that it forms a ridge over them.
This I leave until spring. At the
iroper time I plant the seeds on this
and without further plowing. Lewis
Wier, of Indiana, in Agriculturiat.
T-oilaeil ttarley.
It is' always best to cut barley while,
it is still green, and the grain is in
the milky stage. But if the straw has
been beaten down by rains, early
cutting is especially necessary. The
chief danger with fallen barley is that
rust will attack the straw, after which,
instead of growing heavier, the grain
will rather decrease in weight. Ho
soon as grain is out the danger of rust
attacking it has past, becanite when its
stalk is severed from the root the
leaves and stalks contract, and close
the pores through whioh the rnst en
ters the plant. But if the weather is
fine, barley that has fallen down will
often 1111 well and make a good crop.
It is a grain that ripens more quickly
after it comes into head than any
other.
The Maw Feed RtofT.
The new corn product being talked
about is obtained by grinding corn
stalks. The pith of the stalk is used
for packing between the plates of iron
clad warships. The hard shell of the
stalks, after tho pith is taken ont, is
ground into a fine powder. It can be
bagged like oats or bran and will keep
as well as any other ground feed.
Analysis proves that it is richer in
muscle makers than the whole corn
stalk, and experience shows that stock
will eat it up clean. The stations tell
that a balanced ration can be readily
made up by mixing the new feed stuff
with oil meal or cottonseed meal. A
ton of the ground stocks will occupy
little more space than a ton of ensilage.
There is authority for believing that
this new feed stuff will have some ef
fect in reducing the price of hey.
Connecticut Farmer.
Deatrorlng Burdocks.
It is a comparatively easy matter to
kill the burdock, though it may be
hard enough to exterminate it, be
gause it seeds so plentifully and the
seed will remain in the ground for
years until it has a favorable chance
to grow. As the burdock is biennial
it dies out after it has seeded the
second year, bnt that is only after it
has provided thousands and tens of
thousands of seed to perpetuate its
kind. All that is needed to kill the
plant is to take a dull axe and chop the
root something bjjlow tlje surface, hud
then throw on a handful of salt. The
burdock root being soft and moist dis
solves the salt, whioh quickly rots it
so that further sprouting of a new
top is impossible. No amount of cut
ting will do the work. The burdock,
like most weeds, is a very persistent
seeder, We have seen it mown down
with the scythe two or three times
during the summer, end yet in fall
showing several clusters of seed burrs
near the ground, containing enough
seed to start a hundred burdock
plants the very next year. The seed
burrs cling to clothing and to the fur
of animals brushing against it. Hence
the weed is sure to be always widel
distributed.
Blight In Pear Treea.
This is the season, especially after
the very hot weather we have lately
had, followed by rains, when blight is
most likely to attack pear trees. It
appears to be a disease which espe
cially attacks trees heavily manured
and which have an excess of sap. If
the tree has been manured in the
spring with stable manure, and has
since been cultivated, it will almost
certainly blight Manuring with pure
ly mineral fertilizers, without nitro
gen, is, we know from experience, a
help to prevent trees from blighting,
The pear tree to be kept productive
and healthy should not make a large
yearly wood growth. Six to twelve
inches yearly growth of wood, with a
proportionate number of new fruit
buds, will give the tree longer life and
a greater amount of fruit than will
any attempt to force fruit production.
Over-bearing is a fruitful cause of
blight. It comes juBt at the time
when the pear seeds are forming, aud
when this imperative demand for more
potash roba the sap of that mineral
whioh is so necessary to keep wood
and foliage in healthful condition.
Yet pear trees on grassbound laud are
in the condition next most likely to
be blighted. In their case probably
the potash in the soil ia inert and the
pear tree roots cannot get it. .Atlanta

WHY SO MANY REGULAR PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Ours Female Ilia Some True Reaeona Why
Mrs. Pinkham ia More Buooeeeful Than
tha Family Doctors.
A woman Is sick t some disease peculiar
sex Is fast developing in her system. Hhe
to her family physician end tells him a
story, hut not the whole atory.
Hheholdssomethtngback, loses her head, i
becomes agitated, forgets what she wants 1
to say, and finally conceals what
ought to have told, and thus completely
mystifies the doctor.
Is It any wonder, therefore, that
the doctor fails to cure the disease I
Still, wo cannot blame the wo
man, forlt Is very embarrassing
to detail some of the symp
toms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
It was for this reason that
years ago Mrs. Lydla K. Pink-
ham, at Lynn, Mass., determined toetcp in andhelpher sex. TTavtnghad consid
erable experience In treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice In regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman. It was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into
her ears every detail of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the proper Information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day constantly applying for advice and re
lief, and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham during the last year ia indicative of
the grand results which are produced by her unequalcd experience and
training.
No physician In the world has had such a training, or has such an amount
of Information at hand to aaaiat In the treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local Irritation to the most complicated diseases of the womb.
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. I'inkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass., Is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering
Who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. I'inkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia . finkham'a Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
