Graduation Down.
The regulation graduation gown
boasts just a little refreshing air of
originality this season. Perhaps it is
the variety in materials used that gives
this impression, for the oouturieres all
eeem impressed with, the importance
of keeping graduation gowns exceed
ingly simple. ,y'
The chief charm of these gowns is
the exquisite needlework, that is sim
ply marvelous on olose examination.
At one of the shops was shown a large
square yoke of tiny tucks and hand
embroidery done with sheer mull.
There were yards of hand-embroidered
frills to match all of it the work of a
deveted old aunt who had been work
ing on her niece's graduation gown for
years.
Most of the models shown are too
fluffy in effect. Organdie was the ma
terial most favored, bnt mousseline de
eoie, chiffon, Teihng, tulle and a num
ber of gauzy materials were in evi
dence. Two or three of the gowns were
made of silk poplin, and they were
fashioned more on the clinging lines
than were the others. t Simplicity was
their most striking characteristics,
too; but it was a sort of classio sim
plicity. A "Marguerite gown" was exquisite
ly dainty. Jtwas made of white ohif
fon over a transparency of white
taffeta. The skirt was composed of
even frills of chiffon, briar stitched
around the hems with white silk.
Marguerites were embroidered in
an irregular, artistio pattern over the
ribbon. The sleeves were slightly
draped and were mounted by short,
full puffs of the chiffon. The lower
dge of the puff was held with band
of the embroidered ribbon. Gradu
ating gowns made entirely of accord
ion plaited sheer materials are con
sidered by great many young women
the simplest and most tasteful gowns
to be had.
With their soft long sashes and rib
bon bows they certainly boast a Juve
nile air that ia bewitching, and they
adapt themselves to all sorts of figures.
They soften the lines of angular
' figures and, strange to say, the round-
Bess of the roly-poly girl is lost in
this flnflness of her gown.

The world of fashion in under obli

for that most beautiful of all textile,
the Silky cloth known as pineapple,
pinan, or I'liilippinafl cloth. It in
made from the soft but strong fine
hairs of the pineapple plant, whose
collection, treatment and spinning de
mand a world of labor. It in woven
upon hand loom, excepting in one or
two of the smaller eities, where Eu

The llrst application of Paris green
to potatoes to kill the potato beetle
should be with land plaster. A table
spoonful to a half bushel of tho plaster
thoroughly mixed will bo strong
enough. Not only will tho poison kill
the potato larvm, bnt the effect of the
plaster will be to make the vines grow
stronger and cause more copious dnw

potato booties' eggs.
Sprontlng rotator lly the Sun.
The practice of sprouting seed pota
toes in sunlight is an old one and
ranked by many with tho old method
of planting "by the light of the moon"
as pure superstition, bnt tho fact re
mains that repeated tests by reliable
growers have demonstrated that there
is something in the plan, and that at
least it in worthy of trial. The idea is
to spread out on the floor of the bnrn,
where they will get the full sunlight
but not tha direct rays of the sun, the
seed potatoes, to keep them there un
til the sprouts ere an inch long, then
planting at once. Tho sun-sprouted
tubers forced plants through the
ground sooner and the stalks are
stronger than with seed not so treated.
The 0110 great point in favor of the
plan in that snu-spronted potatoes are
entirely free from scab. Why this is
so must be left to our scientillo men
to answer, but it would soom as if the

Mottles In Itulter.
One of the small troubles dairymen
have to meet is known as mottles, and
is caused mainly by tho use of too cold
wator in washing tho butter and by
the manner in which it in introduced
into the churn. Ity the use of water
too cold, the outside of the butter
granules becomes bardonod while tho
inside is soft and remains so despite
working or tempering with salt, leav
ing the fine thread-like streaks in the
butter that are so objectionable. The
water should be introduced into the
churn slowly and should be tempered
to nearly tho temperature of the churn .
The usual method of introducing cold
water into a churn forcibly, through a
hose or pipe,' is responsible for the
large mottles, whioh are caused by the
water striking the grapules of butter
and causing them to turn too hard to
break up. These are comparatively
small things, bnt large enough to fre
quently spoil the sale of butter or to
materially reduce the price obtained.

Milton Whitney, chief of the divis
ion of soils of the department of agri
culture, in his annual report to the
secretary says: "The electrical method
of moisture determination has beeu
still further perfected. Hixtoen sta
tions have been equipped with elec
trical instruments in various parts of
the country, and in soveral important
types of soil. Records have been kopt
at those stations for periods varying
from two to four months, and it has
been found that the method can be
used by any one with ordinary care.
As a result of these field records, I
feel perfectly 'satisfied with the opera
tions of the method, and equally sat
isfied that it will prove of great value
in soil investigations, as well as of
practical ami commercial value. One
groat value of the method is that the
electrodes are permanently buried in
the field, at any depth desired, and
the field can be cultivated or cropped
as usual. The eleotrical resistance
between the electrodes is read) from a
scale, and this resistance varies ac
cording to the iquare of the water
contents. By onco thoroughly stan
dardising the electrodes anil, by tho
use of tables furnished by the divis
ion, the moisture contents of, the soil
can be determined at any time from
the eleotrioal resistance of the soil."
Barrol Strawberry Culture,
Probably many readers have heard
of the plan of raising' strawberries cn
the outside of a
barrel. If one has
only a small city
or village lot, or
"back yard," the
experiment is well
worth trying. The
aooompanying il
lustration shows
one or two wrin
kles that may help
make the experi
ment a auooess.
MOVEii way xo baisb First bore the
BBBMKg. boles all about the
barrel, then put inside a drain pipe
made of four strips of board, reaching
from the top to the bottom. The
joints should not be tight. Now fill
in earth about the pipe and set out
the strawberry plants in all the holes
and over the top. Put the barrel on
a bit of plank on the bottom of whioh
wide castors have been screwed. The
barrel oan then be turned about every
few days to bring the sun to all the
plants. An ordinary flour barrel will
answer very well for trying this in
teresting experiment. American Ag

Toward the end of May. In an or
dinary season, the danger of late frosts
is over, and the first real warm days
of early summer are at hand. It is
well now to get all plants, so far as
possible, out of doors rather than
keep them in the bouse. Put all
"toft stair (the florist's term for ail
soft-wooded plants, stioh as Reran i
nmn, coleusps, salvias, etc.) out of beds
or iu the border. Carnations anil
other plants such as are intended to
bo grown fur the following winter's
supply of blooms should be given
choice places, so that the plants will
have an opportunity to get all the
strength possible in the short time
that they are out.
Chrysanthemums may be pi it n god
in a good location. Large specimen
plants, whether in large pots or tubs,
do better when either set on the lnwn
under tha trees or partially plunged
than if placed on the veranda or
porch, where they nre apt to dry out
too quickly and require such constant
watering as to become a wcnrlsomo
work during the extreme weather.
Palms in largo pots nre especially
partial to being plunged.
If possible, keep no plants at all in
the house, and much less in the con
servatory, for unless given an abund
ance of water and plenty of air such
adverse conditions are not very con
ducive to the host growth of the plant.

not willing to do right nt any cost,
25. "Then unswered all tho people nnd

(Math, xxl., 42, 44). They might have
been as safe uuder this passover blood as

was the curse tuoy pronounced upon them

26. "Then released ho Barabbas unto

Preachers are supposed to bring- bad

story of an ocean voyage: "There were
several priests on board, and every

the captain and Informed him of the
panic among the cabin passengers.
"The captain replied: 'Go forward
to the forecastle and see If the crew

shocked as they peeped Into the sailors'
quarters by round after round of ths
most fearful oaths, and when this was
reported to the captain he said: 'Go
