With the basque is worn one of the early spring hats that serves to exemplify prevailing styles. The rough straw is blaok and the mousseline de aoie, which is ar ranged in the Spanish comb style with n edge of fine straw, is in the same polor as is also the satin ribbon which forms the bows. But the touch of brillancy given by the flowers in Tan gerine-yeliow lightens and brightens the whole. i To make this baBque for a lady in the medium size will require two and pne-half yards of forty-four-inch ma terial. Comfortable Bound Waist. The full round waist, aooording to May Manton, embodies all the ease and comfort of the blouse, yet is free of all poach, makes one of the many good things whioh the season has to offer. The model shown in the illus tration is velvet finished cashmere, with skirt of the same,- but is suited alike to foulard and India silks, challies and all suoh materials as take soft, graceful folds. The foundation is a tilted lining which includes the usual pieces and. seams and oloses at the centre-front. The seamless back is drawn down to the waist line, ao form ing a slight fulness above the band and is joined to the fronts by nnder-arm gores. The fall fronts are arranged in gathers at the shoulders and, neck, and again at the waist line. The edge of the left side is finished with a pointed rever of applique edged with a trill of ribbon, and laps well over on to the right, so oonoealing the dosing of the waist proper wulou is aooom r'Jrhed bv means of hooks and eyes.

Velvet to Helen. Lady Violet Greville, whose tips on the fashions are always accepted as gospel, writes from Paris saying that velvet will reign supreme in the fash ionable world. She says. "Velvet in every style, shape and color, black, cornflower blue, sapphire, silver, gray shot with gold, and a host of other startling shades" will lead in the world of fashion. Ladies' Homo flown. Among all the tempting materials which the spring display has brought forth, there is nothing shown in greater variety nor more lovely col ors than the challies which make such ideal gowns for home wear. The tasteful model shown is in gray with figures in cream-white, made with a trimming of lace-edged frills, but combinations without number can be devised and such materials as cash- mere or louiara substituted, u pre ferred. i The backs are snuzlv fitted to the figure by means of a centre seam and ourving back seams, and the fronts by means of double bust ana anaer-arm darts. The full front and back, whioh give the Watteau effect, although they are gathered in place of plaited, are adjusted at yoke depth where a frill of the material, laoe-edged, gives a bertha effect.

The sleeves are two-seamed and snug' fitting, including only slight fullness at the shonlders. At the wrists are frills of lace whioh fall over the hands, and at the neck is a simple turn-over collar.

President Einne, of the Ver mont Horticultural Sooiety. Holding Glanders la Cheek. A few years ago veterinary surgeons thought glanders in horses could not be controlled. By slaughtering all iffecled animals it could be held in heck bnt not stamped out altogether. The discovery of mallein has put an intirely new complexion on the ques tion. With its aid any horse owner )an now 1teep his stock free from the lisease without having to kill a sin tie animal except those actually at 'ected. tons Rleds For Winter Work. The ordinary stone boat has not tilt nough in front to pass through or ver snow so that it cannot readily be ised in winter. In place of it many armers have devised what they call t snow sled, taking for the runners ,ome stout pieces of hard wood, if ible witu'a t , bend ,Q th iufflciently large to fasten sup- sorts into, which will make a platform twelve to eighteen inches high. Snch ileds are very convenient for hauling leavy weights upon, as they are esily loaded. On many farms such sleds ire used in preference to stone boats, ven during the season when no suow Is on the ground. They draw more lasily over the bare ground than does the stone boat, and will usually last lully as long. Water Over Untlerd reins. It sometimes happens when severe told comes before snow and rain that the ground freezes so hard over drained land that when the snow is melted the mrplus water cannot at once make its ray to the drain beneath. Sometimes In winter these sheets of water will be frozen over, during some cold spell, nd while thus covered with ice, the rater beneath it will find its way through the tiles and disappear. No harm comes to grass land thus left eovered with ice for two or three days. But winter wheat is sometimes winter killed by ice on the edges of the pond, where the freezing of the water catches the wheat plant in its icy embrace, and often snaps the stem where it is joined to the root at the surface of the ground. Roadside Tree Planting. TLe planting of trees and hedges .long country roads should be en- louraged. Shade prevents rapid dry ing of macadam, and hedges break the force of the, winds which on un protected highways blow toe dust twav.leaving the stone foundations ex posed. This point is urged at length in a road article by Colonel A. A. Pope in the Outlook. It is a mistake to as sume that dust is detrimental to wheeling. On the contrary, it is es sential to the preservation of the road, and should, if possible, be kept on the highway, as a shower will convert it into binding material. Trees and hedges cost little, and money expend' ed in this way will be offset by de creased repairs. This is only a utili tartan side of the question. The attractiveness of the country is en hanced by trees and shrubs. A farm ing country without shade is not in viting, and whatever improves the roads and adds to the beauty of rural scenery is worthy of enoouragement, The suggestion is deserving of consid eration by town councils, because it is suggestive of deoreased cost in road maintenance and higher values of property. The city man looking for a summer home in the country is certain to note the difference between a farm bordered by trees and one that is bar ren of shade. It is not difficult to predict which willlbe his choice. Providence Journal. The Blpenlog of Cheese. A well-cured oheese oontains a higher per centageof fat than the same cheese does when green, and this gave rise to the idea that the action of rennet, oc of the fermentation process, caused certain of the constituents of the oheese to be oonverted into fat. Part ly with the object of testing this theory, Dr. Caldwell has undertaken an investigation of the changes which ooour in the curing of cheese. The course pursued was to take several green cheeses frcsn from the coop, analyze the same, and then keep thoiu in air-tight roceirers to care. By daily examination of the air in the re eeivers, everything that was given 08 from the cheese, or absorbed by it, was traoed and noted. Without going into minute details, it will be enough to say, in brief, thai the examination of the air in the re ceivers showed that the cheeses all alike rapidly gave off carbonio acid and water, and as rapidly absorbed oxygen, in the early stages of curing, but afterward this steadily diminished, The weighing showed a steady loss in the total dry substance of the oheese from oxidation, and a loss in the total of each aolid constituent fat and casein and that the casein lost more than the fat, thus leaving the fat the cured eheese in larger proportion than in its greeustage,aad demonstrat ing that the increased percentage of fat in the ripe oheese over that in its unripe oondition was not due to any increase of fat in the caring process, but to a greater loss of casein than fat by oxidation. 0.
