WEDDING OUTFITS. In the Spring the Thoughts of Many Young Women are Turned with Ardor Toward Wedding Garments. Indeed, we have known between three and four hundred dollars made to purchase a neat trousseau, the briiie dwelling in the country and attending very few soeill entertainments In this case all the underclothing and the dresses also, except one, were made at home. She was married in a traveling dress and no white silk was necessary. In fact the outfit included butene silk—a black one—made by a good but not a lashlouabie uressmaker. To this she added a cashmere trimed with satih, a soft wool, u fabric iu a tiny cheek, trimmed with silk; a bunting, a glug ham. a while nainsook, a white mull and a colored lawn, with a wrapper of tweiity-tlve-ceut woolen. The silk and the traveling dress were both ma e with jackets, and she had a bom.e- for wear with the one, and a hat, which she 4r ini med herself, for the other. These dre.-ses, all told, Cost two hundred dollars, of which seventy-live went for the black silk, while the remaining one hundred and twenty-five was expended for underclothing, etc. . Taking it lor granted that the brideelect lias at least some underclothing on hand, and does not expect to lay in a stock fora life-time, a dozen chemises, with a dozen of everything else, skirts, drawers, underwaists, gowns, etc., is sufficient for practical purposes, These should include two handsome sets; the rest may be trimmed aceorbing to fancy. They should be made at home, sirce we are supposing that strict economy must be observed. Next to hand embroidering,Torchon lace and Hamburg embroidery are to be reccomed as trimmings, and both of them are pretty and durable as well as inexpensive. Fine tucks and ruffles also are pretty, and cost nothing beyond the labor of making them. For handsome gowns, the prettiest shape is the priueesse, loose, with the front formed of tucks and Hamburg insertion. For use the best pattern is the pointed yoke, and this may be formed of the same material. Tucked yokes are always pretty, and when made at home are very inexpensive. Drawers, in default of ' more costly trimming, look well with a tucked ruffle two inches deep, headed by a cluster of fine narrow tucks. A narrow width of Torchon in good quality, for ruffles comes at five cents, while Hamburg edges and insertion begin as low as three cents a yard and range up ind< finitely. Italian Valenciennes is pretty and inexpensive, but frail, Menno uuderware, nearly all wool, may t>e had as low as $1 per piece. These are American goods. The imported Cartwright <k Warner's are higher, while silk vests and drawers corny as high as from $6 to $lO the set without embroidery, and are not to be included in an inexpensive trousseau. Colored tlaiiuel skirts are rapidly siiperseeding white, and harmonize weil with colo'ed hosiery. The flannel—blue, gray, and dark green—comes by the yard, with heavy silk seallop, iu good quality, at 20 cents, the price increasing with the pattern embtoidered ou the flannel, Generally, however this work is done at home, and Berlin or Saxony yarn is used for the embroidery. Even if the bride clings to the old traditions and insist ou white flannel skirts, she should at least have oue colored flannel skirt for traveling. A pretty Balmoral skirt will cost her about $2.50. This, in winter, is, of course, a necessity. Twelve pairs of stocking, ranging from fitly cents up and if she does not want them all in fashionable colors the prices will be lower —will probably be sufficient. For shoes no rules can be laid down. Prices and ideas vary’ so widely that each woman must be a law unto herself. If she is not extravagant in her ideas, $lO ought to cover a pair of kid walking boots, oue of cloth gaiters,and a pair <>i slippers. If the bridal dress is white, white slippers will be necessary also. It is more than difficult to advise respecting the dresses, since in selecting them not only the length of the purse but the society moved in must be considered. White surah at $1.15 per yard is the cheapest reliable silk for wedding dresses. American brocade may be had for $1.50, and trimming satin as low as sl. If neither of these can be afforded, buy white mull and trim with Languedoc lace. The bows should be white satin, ribbon, in long Icops and ends, Orange flowers are sparingly used, a good thing for our economist, since they are expensive and cannot be Worn after the bridal month. Instead are used myrtle, roses, lillies of the valley, or hyac nths, and, indeed, almost any pure white blossom is in good taste. The bridal veil is three yards of tuiie, and is very rarely ever hemmed. Behind, it flows down on the train; iu front, it falls over the face almost to the hem of the dress, and after the ceremony the first bridesmaid, or thefcride’s nearest female relative, draws it back from her face. If the dress is made at home, thirty five dollars should cover the cost, including gloves, etc.—if the matirial be silk, the price will probably be about twenty dollars more. If only one silk can be afforded, by all means let that be black and of good qualiiv. Cheap black silk is a snare and aifelusiou. B >y it of a merchant whom you can trust, and pay a f air price for it; to do otherwise would be penny wise and pound foolish. Twen-ty-five yards is a full pattern for dress and mantle, and if the dress is made on a foundation of alpaeea less will answer. Box plaitings take a third less than side or kilt plaits, and are fully as stylish. The new shirred sageimr nufts require still less material. Fringe and lace add much to the beauty and also to the expense of the dress, and jet may cost almost atiytipßg. Have an adjustable train, which can be put on or off, and making the dress long or short, as occasion requires. If a seccond silk is attainable, circumstances must decide whether it shall be strictly a light evening dress or a nek dark shade. This is, how- 1 ever.very much a matter of taste. I One of the most elegant outfits we ever saw, had, among a dozen superb I dresses, only one of tight color, the 1 white brocade wedding robe. A dark 1 cashmere, trimmed with silk or vel- l vet, is eminently serviceable. This should be made short, with shoulder cape for the street. The traveling dress should of course, be short, of some dark woolen material. Make it with a jacket, and have also a basque for home wear. The choice of material for this is infinite, ranging from 25 cents to $2 per yard. A stylish cloth jacket can lie bought for from *ls up. Every trousseau should include a btSmktt shwal and a Shetland shawl, if no more expensive evening wrap can be afforded. A trousseau for spring is less expensive than oue for winter, inasmuch as white dresses and lawns and ginghams, cost less than cashmere and silks. Also, the material for a pretty summer silk may tie had for $25. white those for a silk for winter wear wiW b* *SO or more. A jacket of brocade will be useful for w'ear with the skirts of different dresses, and she should at least have one matinee or house sacqueof colored flannel. These are usually trimmed with lace, but a double ro)v of rick-raek trimming over the timutel has * good effect. Very probably our bride has more than one dress which a little ingenuity and less outlay tn cash will freshen op Into a useful home dress. Os frills and ribbons you can hard-

ly have too many. Put all the money you can afford into them, remembering that a litt’e real lace is betterthan ■ many yards of cheap cotton imitations. Large collars are very fasbiouI able, and a pretty manner of making them is with two plaitings of wide lace sewed on either edge of a muslin band, and so arranged that the edge of the upper frill falls a little over the lower frill. A square mull kerchief, edged with Spanish or with any other pretty laee, will be of great service as a fichu. Practice different wavs of putting it on, and you will be surprised to find of how many changes it is capable. Your bonnet shold be had from a good milliner and will cost from $8 to sls. Your hat must match your traveling dress. Get a pretty shape in straw, and trim with silk or ribbon and a wing, or merely with a gauze veil held by a dagger, say $2 more. Tan-colored gloves and undressed kid are stylish with any dress, and besides these you should have chamois gloves for traveling and kids to match your suits. Six buttons in length strikes a happy medium, for it must be remembered that every button adds to the cost. The most fashionable gloves have no buttons at all, but wrinkle on the arm like an ill fitting stocking. Get a black silk parasol and put Spanish laceonittor yourself, a proceeding which will make a difference of about a dollar in the cost. Brushes, combs, perfumery and all the needed variety of such things must be left to individual purses and tastes. A neat dress-ing-case costs $5, a good trunk $lO and below, and above these are many styles. If you do not already possesa gossamer waterproof buy one, by all means, and be sure to see that the Gossamer Rubber Clothing Company’s stamp Is upon it, since the country is flooded with worthless imitations. Furs will not be needed for spring, fortunately for your purse. The German custom of including household linen as a part of the bridal outfit is gaining ground in America, and although the matter is purely optional it is usual to furnisn lied linen and towels for a, least one room. Such a trousseau as we have described ought to come wi-hin $350 with discretion in buyiny. Os course for every dollar extra you add something new. An excellent plan is for our bride to make a list of her requirements and the amount each article will cost. Then add all together and compare with the sum which she can afford to expend, reducing or adding to her list as the result proves necessary. —[Philadelphia Press. Early Potatoes. It will soon be time for putting in early potatoes, and the old favorite. Early Rose still holds its place at the front. It may be inferior to some of the new varieties, but there is one thing in favor of the Early Rose that all will admit, and that is the usua certainty of a crop. There are but! few exceptions regarding the reliability of the Early Rose, and it must be a very unfavorable season, indeed, when they do not reward the grower for his trouble. Another peculiarity is that when the tops are dead the potatoes are there, and this can not be said of all others. The Peachblow, which is a late variety, first gives a very vigorous growth of vine, and form the potatoes afterward. At times they show nosigns of tubers until almost at the period of maturity of the vine, and they seem to hurry up the tubers a- if they had been forgotten. They are good keepers, and are hard to beat as a late variety. The bugs are very partial to the Peerless, and attack that variety in preference to others, yet slighting none. With the first growth of the potato above ground the bugs begin work. At this stage the bug should be picked in preference to sprinkling with Paris green, as the poison is somewhat injurious to the vines when very young. If hand-picking becomes too difficult, which is noticed on the appearance of the hatching of the eggs, the Paris green must be applied. Always mix it with fine dry plaster in perference to flour, as the plaster is very beneficial to potatoes. We formerly alluded to the fact that some growers claimed that their crops had been increased by the use of Paris green. What really increased them was the plaster: and it is a doubtful question as to whether the bugs are an injury or a benefit, on that account. They have brought plaster into use on potatoes, and the consequence is we produce more potatoes than formerly, despite the bugs. In using plaster always put a sprinkling on the ground around the plant as well as on the vine. It will be an additional benefit. Ashes are excellent for potatoes, and should be broadcasted after the seed is in heavy ground or scattered on the rows on sandy •oil.

Regarding the new varieties, it is best to procure only ap und for experiment. Try them side by side with old established, well known varieties. The reason is that no farmer can recommend to another at a distance which is the more preferable variety, as soils and other conditions may not be the same. A Western paper publishes a new method of getting the best results from potatoes which is worthy of trial. We give it only for what it is intended by the one who discovered it, which is that others would use it and report results. It is well known that early potatoes are not always fully matured, and the larger ones areoiteu taken from the hill while the smaller ones are left. This robbing process injures the growth of those left, and they never arrive at perfection. If the grower, however. will dig up all his potatoes—large aud small—he can select the larger ones and market them, and then immediately’ use the small ones for seed by putting them iu the ground for a second or late crop. They should be cut in half and put in thickly, as many of them will not sprout. After they are up they must not be thinned out if too thick It put on the same ground as the first crop a fertiliser is required in addition to that originally applied. We are not familiar with the above process, but will experiment with it this season, and give cur readers the benefit of it at the proper time. Potatoes should be kept elean, and grass and weeds not allowed even to sprout. They require at times a certain amount ofmbistura, and if a weeii gets a place among them it appropriates not only the moisture but the nourishment. The ground should be kept as loose as possible without disturbing them. The common practice of entirely digging up the hill or row is too radical, for the roots, when torn to pieces, must stop to shoot out in other directions, which more or less cheeks the growth of tubers, in sandy soils plant deep aud hill up well, destroying the crab grass that so persistently shoots up, In selecting the sued see that it is sound aud good, cut to two eyes, let dry for a day or two, spriuki -with plaster, and plant. Iu heavy soils, especially, put the manure on top, especially if it is coarse as it assists to keep the surface loose, and in light soils it is a partial protection against the drouth aud extreme heat. That is the reason why the top application is preferred. Manure for potatoes should be good, but the best results will be obtained when wellrotted manure is mixed wilh coarse litter, or anything that lightens the soil. Never use fresh manure. Fertilizers are better for potatoes than anything else. At Exeter, N. H., Geo. E. Lane, a banker and county treasurer.hae been found to be a defaulter to the amount of $45,000.

Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, “Kendall's Spavin Cure.” In the spring of 1872 I slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at the knee joint I *as very lame and at time* suffered the most excruciating pain. I wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think 1 should be a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall's Spavin Cure” thought I would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. The pain left me and has not troubled me since. 1 feel ’ory grateful to you and would recommend ‘Kendall's Spavine Cure to ail who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Bovtill.

It is of unknown proportions, having never been explored, aud the phenomenon connected with it that causes the wonder of beholders is the fact that a strong current of air rushes into the cave of sufficient force to draw down into the Plutonian depths all light articles placed near the entrance/ The roaring of the wit.ds into the cavern may be heard 200 yards away from the opening.
