Following the lines of the shopping bureaus, there have sprung up in some cities professional marketers, persons who secure the patronage of a number of families ancl relieve them of all care of providing food supplies. These agents do not as a rule charge their clients any sum for the service, rely ing, as do now all professional shop pers. upon the discount allowed them by the trade for remuneration. The plan has been very successful in sev eral places, and may be the thin edge of the wedge again for successful co-operative housekeeping. —New York Post. Woman's Enormous Wardrobe. Mrs. Dorothy Howard, aged seven ty-five years, who recently died at Jef fersonvitle, lud., was one of the most eccentric women in the State. In spite of her extreme age, the old lady dressed as gaudily as a girl of fifteen. At her death she had 175 dresses, most of them of the finest quality, in numerable skirts, waists and other wearing apparel. The auction of her effects drew a large and curious crowd, and tho bidding to secure her hand some silk dresses, .dozens of which had never been worn, was lively. Her hobby was to spend her entire income for gaudy and costly wearing apparel. A Woman In Horticulture. Women are invading every trade. There are women florists in all the large cities and more recently in New York City women are being employed in selling fruits and vegetables. Per haps something of their neatness and liaudiness has no little to do with it. A market Rtall of vegetables arranged by a woman will almost look more at tractive than one arranged by a man— and attractiveness counts every time. Why should not a girl or woman sell peas, beans and strawberries as well as pins and needles? Why should not a farmer's .laughter be her father's saleswoman? Why should she not so licit frders for his crop before they are marketed? That's business.—New Eng land Homestead. Tlio Most lieuutlful Foot. The most beautiful foot is the slen der one. The stylish girl recognizes this fact. Her shoes are always large enough to avoid cramping the foot, anil yet are snug and wonderfully neat and delicate. This is the reason why some girls can dance all night without rest, while others have to retire early from a brilliant ball; leaving their hearts be hind—in case they do not dance and suffer so much with their feet as to preclude the possibility of real enjoy 'inent.. If a girl wears a proper shoe, when the foot is bare, and she stands upon it in the privacy of her bed-room, it will be as pretty and delicate as a baby's. The instep would be high, the heel delicately formed, the skin as white as alabaster, with possibly blue veins showing through. The general form of the foot will be slender, the toes tapering, parallel, and separated by about the thickness of a sheet of paper and adorned with pink-tinted nails. A girl who has such feet as these—and there are many who have thein—well may take pride and plea sure in contemplating them.—New- York Ledger. Vlctorlu'H Jubilee I>rcs*. Following is an accurate description of Queen Victoria's dress on Jubilee day: "It was pale gray silk richly embroidered with silver of the finest workmanship, not only on the pnnels of the skirt, which were six inches wide, but ou the bodice as well. The basque was very fully trimmed with frills of fine black lace, as were the sleeves and the edge of the skirt, The bodice of the dress, however, was en tirely covered by a black gauze cape, which had incrustations of beautiful white lace let in. These insertions gave an appearance of great lightness aud coolness to the entire toilet. The bonnet was black and white, with a little silver introduced, and the shape was a very becoming one, tho sides coming well down behind the ears over the soft white hair." At the grand dinner held at Buck ingham Palace on Monday evening the Queen wore a magnificent dress of black moire antique, the design of which was large aud handsome. The front was composed of exquisite gold •embroidery in a symbolical device of suns in relief, surrounded by stars, each pattern forming the centre of a square wrought in diamonds, studding gold ribbons. Hound the hem of the skirt was a wideband of rich and elabo rate embroidery consisting of sprays of forget-me-not, ears of corn, lotus flowers and suns. Similar embroidery appeared upon the stomacher, which was outlined with fine black lace. A bertha of the lace trimmed the shoul ders, and the basque was bordered with it. The short sleeves were com posed of it. On another gown in preparation for Her Majesty appears a rich silver embroidery in a design of rose, shamrock, and thistle. Gossip.

The Empress of Austria has erected a marble statue of Heine in the grounds of her villa at Corfu. The statue has been placed on a rock two thousand feet above the level of the sea, aud is is to be surrounded by fifty thousand rose-trees. One of the interesting features of the "jubilee jinks" was a dinner of representative women in art, science, literature, music, the stage, each of whom invited some notable of the male sex.

I It does not matter much how crooked | the little stream may be that mean j tiers through pasture lands. But if it | is to be cnt for hay, or especially if it is desired to use the laud for plowing, j it is important to have the brook J straightened, so as to take as little j room as possible. In many places a straight, deep ditch, cut to lead oil' a , stream that only runs in the spring, may be profitably turned into an under - j diain. The convenience of plowing j over it and the laud saved will make it ! l>ny- ____ When to Handle Been. j To handle bees with the best satis- I faction select the warm, bright days, J when the bees are flying most. The I fact is, the warmer the day the less j danger of stings. Avoid as much as | possible working with them on cool, | cloudy days, as they will be found more irritable on such days. Also avoid handling them early in the j morning and late in the evening, for the same reason. Bees abhor being molested at night, aud no work can be performed with them at that time ; with any satisfaction. They are al ways the most peaceable when they I are gathering honey, and may be han dled as safely as a brood of chickens. —Agricultural Epitomist. Care of the Cow. | It is by physicians and'scientists considered of the utmost importance f that tho milk supply be regulated and watched over with a thousand times more vigilance than has ever before | been done. Tuberculosis may get firmly rooted 111 the cow's system and continue there for a long time before any danger is suspected. First of all { things it is necessary that a healthy ' cow be selected, then that she have every advantage of healthful condi tions. Crowding, dampness and dark ness nre serious faults in the build ings where cows are kept. Milk for bottle babies should not be furnished from cows kept in badly-ventilated and ill-smelling buildings. A very small proportion of the milk furnished to cities is fit for the use of infants. If the present state of things continues there will of necessity be a revolution in society and consumers will demand the enactment of sanitary laws as re gards cows, and will insist that every regulation be complied with.—Tho Ledger. Horse Talk. If your horse has had a particu larly hard drive, or has been worked until he is very tired, give him a little rest before he is fed. Bub him well all over and give his legs particular attention. Every farmer should raise a few carrots. You can feed at least a third | less oats aud the horse will do better. I They cost less to raise than oats, and you will have the satisfaction of having your horses in better condition at less cost. If your horse bolts his feed put a few cobblestones in his manger or a handful of shelled corn, well mixed with the oats. Low mangers are best for horses. Go slowly with the colts, do not ex pect them to do as much work as the old horses. Give them time to learn and develop. Never lose patience witty the colt, he will know it in one second, and your mastery over him will be gone, and a trick or bad habit may be the result. Use only the first-class thorough bred sire of the very best type. Don't lose sight of Morgan blood if it is within reach. Buckle a pad made of flannel and 1 wet in cold water around the hoof. I do not like the use of oil on the hoof in any case.—Tim, iu Farm Journal. The Economic Vultie of a Toatl. The Hatch Experiment Station of the State College at Amherst has just : issued bulletin No. 40, which is on 1 "The Habits, Food and Economic ! Value of the American Toad." The bulletin is the work of A. 11. Ivirkland, assistant entomologist to the gypsy moth committee. Mr. Ivirkland finds that insects constitute seventy-seven j per cent, of the food of a toad. To show the number of worms which a toad destroys he states that iu the stomach of a single toad were found fifty-five army worms, in another six ty-five gypsy moth caterpillars, and in j a third thirty-seven tent caterpillars. ! He records an experiment where in three hours' time a toad had consumed between thirty and thirty-five fnll grown celery worms. He found by examination of a large number of toads that eighty-seven per cent, of the in sects they destroy are injurious to cul tivated crops, or in other ways obnox ious to man. A toad would devour, in the months of May, June and July,the following: 3312 ants, 2208 cut worms, 1840 myrapods, 2208 sour bugs, 308 weevils and 308 carabids. Of these 1)930 nre injurious insects, and 308 beneficial insects. Mr. Kirkland then figures out the amount in dollars and cents which a toad may be worth, j Confining his attention to but one ele ment of the food, the cut worms, aud assuming that ten per cent, of these insects would have been killed by tho cai'abiil beetles, it still leaves 1988 cut worms to the toad's credit; and if the j damage the cut worms would have j caused be estimated at one per cent, j per worm, a figure which gardeners j and tobacco growers will probably , consider ridiculously low, it will be seen that a toad might destroy cut j worms which would otherwise have de stroyed crops to the extent of $19.88.

The custom has grown to considerable pro- I portions of late, and a member of a j lirra of fashionable eostumers, in speak ing of it recently, said: "You, of course, recognize the fact that in this ! great city are scores of hard-working ! ■ girls who are miles away from their I relations and who have always been i I too busy to cultivate many friends, j I Well, when these girls ore about to j marry young fellows who are similar- j i ly circumstanced the question arises as j to who shall give away the bride.

That Ripans Tabules help to keep the system in perfect order and strengthen the nerves is testified to by a prominent school teacher in Philadelphia who says: "I have been teaching the Ninth Grade in the George M. VV harton School for the past eight years, and it is a hard matter to comprehend what a task 1 have every season when I get in a new set of pupils from the lower sections. You see it requires great patience and assiduity to discipline and educate boys, and the task is a very arduous one. Especially is this the case during the examinations, when the work is very exacting and the drain on the system extensive. From leaning over my books and marking up papers for five or six liours at a time I get a headache and my entire system gets shattered, but a Ripans 1 abide always straightens me up, and next morning I am ready for the task over again, feeling as fresh as ever from the effects of the magic Tabule taken on the previous night. It is certainly a wonderful remedy for nervousness and invigorating a wasted system, and in this I voice the sentiments of all the teachers in my section, every one of whom has used them with equally beneficial results."
