THE STYLES FOR SPBIXG.

BLACK TEXTURES TO BE MUCH WORN. Design Rewenxbling XTmbrvlla TlfbUy Sheathed Dots ami Sprigs of th Hag;. Like Hading Veil Must Go VTlth Winter. The ev"er-ueful black silk go-crn Is again to the fore. Indeed, it U doubtful if that stand-by ever La lost prestige. Of late, however, wool cooda of fine quality have Ireen ßo popular that in black they have been used either, alone or with but a light minjrling of silk. The perfection to which the :fail!e Francaise" has been brought has encouraged women again to Invest in plain black silk for entire costumes. The new weave, "all silk" Eensraline, i3 one variety of this fabric whose wearing qualities have been proved. Black "peau de eoie" makes a handsome, durable gown, while "fleur de oie" and black armure are the appropriate weaves for persons in mourning. Black. brocades are again fashionable and for spring will be shown in all the patterns described in tho colored brocades ior winter. Occasionally these brocades will be used in combination with plain filks, but alway3 as accessories rather than aa the main portion of the gown. 3Iany of the new black mohairs have a border of Eengaline and gros-grain silk at the side. The latest importations of grenadines are especially noticeable for richness of texture, many rf their elaborate escurial designs being outlined by heavy cords. These are intended for combination with te wingpi lk or plain grenadine, according to fancy. Then ajain plain black eilk muslin will be made up with thera. the sott diaphanous stuff entering into the accordion-plaited underskirt, which shows at intervals between lone, plain, or boxplaited panels of the figured grenadine. Another pretty black material that will be worn during the coming eeason is gauze. This was an all-over pattern in arabesques apparently chain-6titched over its entire surface. "Again it has, lenjth-wii-e, etripes of corded or moire ribbon, wrought with a pattern in chain -stitching, and between the stripes more of the same fanciful . ornamentation. Basket grenadines striped with broad bands of .moire are also shown, besides the plain iron grenadine that grows softer and more silky in appearance every year. Sixtv-öve inch chantilly lace will be largely used for summer dresfts. All the new empire designs appear in thi? also. There are lig dots and s tripes running: up in gradually"diuinihing widths until the top is reached. Or elen-ler vines in rows rover the surface Laif a yard from the lower edee, which is turned up and hemmed. V,vhole dresses will be made of this rhantil'y net upon a foundation ot" thin urah silk. For tho.-e who prefer something more dresy, or who have a few lengths of grenaaine', either the plain meshed or "small patterned armure, a handsome costume can be evolved from a combination of the chantilly and the grenadine. A lightly draped front of lace may have the grenadine in accordionplaited side panels. The back may be of either material and bans in straight, unbroken lines from waist to hem. These t readths may be gathered to the bodice or go in with" the belt. In the latter ca.se the basque should have a rounded point at the back. The lapped waist must have full sieeves and an empire eash. Another pretty and stylish garment that Trill be tnade from the chantilly and Spanish laces is the plaited iaoe cloak in ronnemara-shape. This cloak may be fulled to a deep yoke of the eame stuff or of fine cut jet. Any gayly colored eilk constitutes an appropriate lining. These loaks will be worn summer evenings on the piazza, at the seaside, or any out-of-town resort. Another pretty trifle calculated to provide against inconvenient drauffhts is the small triple cape atlectd by young women. This is made of fine pliable broadcloth in cream white. The rdlts are left unhemmed and the largest rape only is lined with silk of yellow, a riet, pale pink or pale blue. The collar of velvet matches the lining, aud a broad ribbon bow holds it together at the threat. All designs shown for summer costumes prep.aia and decidedly straight. A woman does not looi quite like a sheathed limbrcila in tome of them, but she very TiPai iV cIdcs eo. Just a 8U2?e3tion of the ugly tie-back dresses of a tew yean ago appears ia pome of the gowns, but this i-s produced by the perpendicular lines of draDery rather than by any ulterior pulllack arranzements. With empire gowns the length of the putt' that adorns, or forms an essential part of the sleeve, depends on the width of the Bash. The properly disposed ourl should end just at the upper edre of the Ioo?ely-folded belt. Accordion-pl -:tod skirts will be very much worn, and oftentimes they will be lordered half their width with contrasting colors. Wherj this is the case, vest, collar and cuifs of the trimmina: color will sdfrn the bod.ee. Witn the cashng aside ff the heavy cloth gowns of winter chirring will be revived. This is particularly applicable to the thin summer silks, foulards and dainty gauzes and muslins. Trim tailor gowns of thet and tweed or Irish homespun will be worn for general promenade and shopping early in the spring. Indeed, women are already, providing the?e for church wear during Lent. A pood English Ferga is alo an excellent and less expensive utility dress, and is likely to prove vastly becoming iu a golden brown or '"Princess of Wales" blue. The latter color wiil be one of the popular r-hades of the spring tear-on, as it is unobtrusive and may be attractively relieved roth trold, crea:n, certain shades of red, tan, ecru, and silver. '"Princess of Wales" blue will be shown in camel's hair, broadcloth, and serge, and in the various fancy f .lks or mixtures oi silk and wool. Low-crowned headgear will reijrn and many of the bonnets wiil be in close cottage fchape, with fljt trimming bows on top. Large hats with wide poke brims tnd profuse garniture of laces and flowers will be worn for dressy occasions in daylight. Dre-s bonnets have low, square crowns, with brims cut short at the back end spreading out broadly in front. Evening bonnets are on the capote order. These will be pretty little composition of flowers and laces, light and airy, permitting indistinct srlimpees of the Lair beneath. The big splashy dots and pprijp that have covered the bag-like Hading veil will melt away with the pnows of winter, and the veil of plain net will not only cover the brim, but the face and the entire bat. It will b3 made of a largo square of net gathered together at the back of the lieck with a fancy rin or elide. Other teils of piain net will extend just below the chin and have narrow borders of embroidery in colors with a dash of tinsel Lere and there. The use of long plumes nd otrirb trimming will le continued into the summer, and many clusters of mall tip show the new green shades. "Ribbons were never richer in effects. They not only cot. in handsome brocades, but in'peouiiar contrasts and colors bestowed in different weaving. Fine threads of silver and gold are used to encbance their beauty, and some of the plain. iaille ribbons have lovely floral designs running along the center or as a border on one side. Broche effects and all-over-leaf patterns ia light and darker

contrasts of the same color are shown. In plain ribbons faille with fine cords and a s atin edee will be the leading style. Vftshlon Note. The rnge for cane is o trreat that no wellregulated young man who hat less thau half a dozen caa lay the least claim to even selfre pect. The babies' best eowst are now often made of white washing silks, with the most delicate torchon lace for trimminir, in place of the tiuiebonored cambric and embroidery. The dress of the carmtlite order initiated in any of the fine French flannels makes a charming morning (town. Any ordinary loose wrapper may be converted into guch a breakfast gown by the addition of wide monk sleeves and a pointed hood, with heavy wool cord about the waist. Swell vests, yokes, V-pieces, plastrons and collars and cutis are in silk cord and srirnp, mingled with bead effects in heavy raised patterns. All of these decorations are detachable, and, although high in price, find ready purchasers for the reason probably that with very little trouble iu their adjustment the plainest gown is rendered handsome by their application. Bedsteads of fine old mahogany with square head-hoards are finished with a linely polished scroll slab crossed at one side by a garland of maple leaves. No black walnut is being sold, elaborate bed-rooma havinir for their furnishings antique oak or enameled sets in white and gold. Most handsome houses have at least one room with this enameled furniture, and the hanging to accompany it are of the gavly flowered tapestries or cretonnes of Marie Antoinette's time, or else of Pompadour designs and colorings. loa room of this kind the wooden bedstead often gives way to one of brass, and the ordinary dressing-case is replaced by a w ide duohesse dressing-table and a chest of drawers. A mirror is attached to the dressing-table and a long cheval gl&s is frequently a part of the furnishing. A tea gown lately worn by a fashionable woman had a full bark of golden-brown brocaded satin, cut at intervals along the sides from the hem half-way, into long tabs that disclosed full ruffles of fluffy cream lace. The front, of the finest blue gauze heavily embroidered with trailing morning glories and seed pearls, was bordered by full masses of lace clasped at the waist by a liuee buckle of torquoiu and pearls. Another "at home" gown possessed by this same woman is of brieht red oeugaline combined with crepon of the same hue. The full round skirt of bengaline is covered with panels of the crepon dropping down the front and sides, and fringed across the foot with jet. The bodice lapped in front has a yoke-like plastron of crepon, pointed front and back. The bensraline is shirred full on each shoulder, then across to the waist line, where it is finished with a broad, loose belt of crepon, and the back has a full skirt hooked over the point of the waisr. The sleeves are drawn close to the arm by fine tucks below the elbow, but putt" out very fully above it Small jet ornaments are oo the bust aud sleeves.

THEY LIVE APART. The Separatton of I.onm .Tames and Marie YFalnwrlglit Final. Louis James and Mario "Wainwii'ht. professional companions of the stage, and husbaudand wife in private life, haveneparated. The news has alreadv gone forth, with their authority, that they will not act together next season, but that each will make nn independent tour. Amonn their acquaintances it was at the time well known that the severance was complete, and. accordingly, erossir about it has extended all through the theatrical circles of New York. The peroral popularity of the pair has served to intensify interest in i heir departure from each other, and wild stories on the subject are in circulation. The certainty to be printed is that Mr. James discovered the loss of his wife's affection, that the circumstances admit of no doubt on that point, and that without much ado they agreed upon a mutual good-byo. Marie Wainwright-James is a granddaughter of the late Bishop Wainwright of the nrotestant episcopal church, and a near relative of Commodore Trion of the U. S. navy. She became Mrs. Slaughter by marrialre. Her husband was a handsome gentleman and very fond of her. When she took a desire to go on the st&g be indulged her in it, and she bep;un as the original Jo&phhv in "Pinafore" upon the production of that opera at the Boston museum. Louis James is a Daltimorean, and he was educated there for the medical profession. But he took to acting instead oi physic, and for several seasons was in the stock company .'it the Fifih Avenue theater at the time when Aujrustin Daly was battling fortune in that house. Thence James went to the Boston theater and there made the acquaintance of Marie Wainwriebt, who eoon afterward became a member of tbn same company, and together they played the lovers in many a drama. This was twelve years ao. I'retty soon Mr. Slaughter lraine convinced that the mimicry of passion had become reality to them. A divorce noon pet them free, and she was almost immoaiately married to James. SlaushU-r had not prior to this connected himself at all with the theatrical business, but a little later he lecanie an actor, went to Australia and died there. Mr. Jame now voluntarily loses "the wife whom he won in the manner described. They had planned to continue starrini: together next season, as they bad dono fairlv well up to this time, artistically and financially. It is true that each had acriticed something to the other's welfare on the stage. Vhe had consented to p!ay DtxUinona, a part in which she was not successful, Iwause his (ttfuUo was ono of bis strong features: and he had made himself absurd as Mai vol in because her Vio'a was an admired performance. But they pave out no indication of dissolving their professional association until an explosion shattered their domestic relations. Neither will say a word against the other. They have seemingly agreed upon silence regarding their trouble. Mrs. James will sail for Europe next month, to remain away all summer. They are now living apart. General Sporting Notes. Jack McAulifTe on his tour gives .jO to any man he rau't knock down in four round. The league of American wheelmen has now T2, 1X" members. Since its organization abont 21.5"0 bicyclists have had their names on the league rolL Wallace Ross and Jack Largao are training every day for the coming roadsenller race, open to all, which takes place in Philadelphia, the week of March 13. The coming fight between Austin Gibbons of Paters-n and Jaek Kenny of Harlem ia ranging considerable excitement in fistic circles. They will meet within two weeks. The Yale university crew bars been selected. They are 1 apt. Woodruff, Caldwell, Brewster, and llartwell of last year's crew, and Hogers, Allen, Ferris, Newell, Harrison, Ihum Mösle, and James who are new men. Cal McCarthy, the champion bantam, ha ben matched against Ed Holske'b unknown to titrht within four weeks with skin cloves, for &J0 a side and the championship ot Amtrica, at 114 pounds, give or take a pound. The Chicago stable intends to win the Suburban with Ter re t'otta. Kaloolah is also in splendid condition, having improved wonderfully over last season during the winter, and will surprise the cracks in the spring handicaps. llarry Ithune arrived in California last Tuesday. He intends to take a trip to Australia, where he wiil be matched to run Samuels, the black sprinter, for $0,000 a side .Australia is a great producer of colored champions. The New Hncrland amateur rowing association wiil probably hold two regattas this season, the tirt regatta to be held on Lako Quinsigamond, Worcester, June 17, next, and the second regatta to be held on the Charles river, iloeton, on labor day, Monday, Sept. 2. Mr. I. J, Lrowninjr of Albany, N. Y., will act a Mr. Maltby's advance agent in his Australian trip. Mattby will appear in Chicago, Öalt Lake City and 5fan Francisco before sailing, lie will stop one we k in Honolulu, tf. I., sailing from SJan Francisco April 1. The latest sporting gossip from Paris is that the French iockey dub has decided to raise the stakes iu the grand steeplechase d'Antuell from WK't francs to 120M) (S-M.tmo.) I ho mania for large stakes seems to have broken out evea in tbt l&nd of the Grand rrix.

BLACK ROT IN GRAPES

PARTIAL, POISONOUS PREVENTIVE. Other Topics For farmers A Sound Decision Malting. liens Lay Timely Notes For Stock and Field Household Hints and Recipes. As this black rot has almost deetroyed the crops of grapes in this country east of the Mississippi river the agricultural do partment of the government has given careful attention to its progress, and finds that the appearance of the disease depends upon the weather. No variety is free from it. It is a fungus, propagated by pores, and its ravages are most severe when the summers aro very warm and moist. In southwest Texas, California and Arizona, where the Kummers are w3rm and dry, the disease does not exist. It begins by attacking the leaves, and this usually happens about one month before it attacks the berries, and seems to attack the leaves nearest the ground first. There are generally two periods of attack, the first being mild, and then a phort period of rest, alxjut July. Later in July, and about thu beginning of August, the rot develops on the fruit rapidly, destroying tho crop in a few days. Vowing Ont nn Corn Stnbble. I Ohio Farmer.) I saw an article askinjradvico on sowing oats on corn-8tubble ground. I have sowed oats in this way for the last five years with good results. I usually break the stubble down in the winter with a Fole. and then as soon as it is dry enough bow the oats and then plow it with a corn plow in th'? 6ame May as plowing corn, only I set the shovels to throw the earth as level as possible. I finish by harrowing. The first time I cultivated first and then sowed and harrowed, but that did not do so well; the harrow pushed the oats down into the furrows and mado it all in rows, but in the present way the oats come up as evenly as" they are sown. Last year 1 plowed "a land rieht alongside of the others to see if it would make any dillorence, but at harvest I could see no difference whatever in the etraw or the quality or the quantity of grain, and it is done much faster than the old way. I intend to cultivate with the corn-plow and sow with the drill this year and try tome pood commercial fertilizer. Puring the last tew years oats have lodged so badly that I shall try to hold them up with fertilizers. Chambersburg, O. J. W. S. Folsonous Preventives of Grape Iiot. PhiLrlelphia F.ecord. Kxperiments show that germination of the SDores cannot occur in dilute solutions of the ßaltsof copper; hence the copper mixture of (üronde, known as Bordeaux mixture, has been used with success. It is made by dissolving sixteen pounds of sulphate of copper in twentytwo gallon? of water in one vessel, while in another vessel thirty founds of lime are slacked in six gallons of w ater. The latter is then slowly poured into tin copper solution, the whole beins well stirred. This mixture must bo used by spraying it on the leaves and fruit, before the appearance of any rot, as it is not an efficacious remedy after the appearance of the disease. The ground should also be well saturated with the spray. It is believed that with tho remedy tho disease can be successfully combated in two or three years, e&pecially if growers in a neighborhood will unite, as the number of of spores will le lessened eac h vear. The mixture is not expensive, and sprayers are in use that send a fine spray over every portion of the vine, the labor beinjr, but a small item compared with the benefits derived. Partial Preventive of Grape Kot. (I'hiladelpuia R.-cnrd. It has been observed that vines trained against walls and given partial shelter are not as readily attacked as are those exposed, and instances are known in which Tines in green-houses have entirely escaped. In those sections where the uioke of bituminous real deposits Koot or dust the vines have escaped the disease to a certain extent As preventives many growers remove the leaves as fast as they show Mens of attack, and also cover the vines with muslin, as a protection against heavy dews and rains; while the use of paier bags, in which the grapes aro inclosed, has been found of advantage, the bags being pinued together over the grapes as soon as the young clusters can Im? discerned. These measures, however, add to the cost of labor, and unless prices are high leave but a email profit to the grower. A Soand Decision, A farmer went to Chicago to buy cattle and feed them. He dealt throngu a broker, but as he happened to know the owner of the cattle he and the owner together agreed upon the price. He made the settlement with the broker and took their bill of sale. He then shipped the cattle to his farm and very soon they were taken from him by replevin, by a man who held a chattel mortgage on them. He then sued the agents who sold them to him and in Judge (iresham's court got judgment for the amount of purchase, S'o doubt this is right. A farmer who buys cattle from a broker must look to him for a guarantee of title; be cannot look up the owner aud establish the correctness of the title. Making Ileus Lay. Ohio Farmer. I should like to hear from some one who has had experience in feeding poultry as to what kind oi food to buy to make "bens lay. 1 bought two dollars' worth of Bankiva eg?-food and it did not even start them at laying. J. L. K., Alvada, O. Hens will lay as well when you feed mixtures, or a variety, of gram, with plenty of green vegetables, as if fed on any of the 6o-ca!led cgg:foods. As far as we know, no successful poultry-keeper feeds any such stutT. Warmth, cleanliness, variety of food, pure water and ample care will induce hens to lay in winter. Timely Farm Notes. Teach trees may be looked after now. Cut away the old wood liberally. Coal ashes can be scattered around the trunks of peach trees with advantage. Allersrs left too long in the nests during very cold weather will crack from the efiects of frost (trade up around the well before the spring rains begin, in order to turn the surfaco water oJ. Hum all the old wood that is cut out of blackberries and raspberries, aud thus destroy the eggs of insects. Scalded bran makes an excellent food for pi(rs. A little corn meal added improves it. Thiu it down with skirn-milk or buttermilk. Put your poultry droppings on the plot intended for onions, anJ have the bed as fine as possible before putting out the tteed or sets. An abandoned well, half-covered ditch, or even a snaz, may cause injury to a colt in the pasture that damages it a hundred or more dollars. Nothing is so unsightly aa the mud and filth that gets on the cows in the winter. It is not sutlicient to have the cow rub it ofb IShe should be well cleaned by the attendant, and the brush and curry-comb are indispensable. A cow that yields largely can be made to yield more by being kept clean and warm. The Children Cry for,

Even More Necessary than a Family Umbrella Is Sata Claus Soap. Why? Because it's made to fill every want, and does what it's made for. Pure as the purest, and yet cheap as the cheapest, and always the same. More profitable to the family than any other soap. For Kitchen, Laundry, Bath in short, for everything, use Santa Claus Soap. nTiC FAIRBANK & CO., Chicago.

plastered filth often noticed on cows is a source of irritation, keeping them uncomfortable and rendering them less tractable and manageable. The brood-mare that is expected to foal this ßeason should not be spared from work. If given moderate exercise she will be benefited. It is unwise to keep a brood-mare in her stall and overfeed her. For early potatoes prepare a special plot, and after the plants are well up thin them out so as to have only one plant to the hill. The potatoes grown this way will be more uniform in size and also earlier. Kvery garden should have a little bed of parsley, 1 here should also be a plaee for snee, marjoram, thyme, fennel and lavender. Once obtained, the task of renewing them is easy, and they require but little room. There will Lc no danger of a variety of potatoes "running out" if the best tubers are saved for seed every year. Li-ery one who plants potatoes can improve the variety by carelully selecting the seed and giving good cultivation. I'se on'oa sets rather than the seed in this climate for a garden supply. A quart of sets should produce about a bushel of onions. The Hmall sets are preferable to those of larger size. They can go in the ground just as soon as the frost leaves. A-parajus is a very early vegetable, and any work to be done to the bed must be done early. It is a erois feeder, and enn appropriate any amount of manure, which should be broadcasted on the beds now, to he forked ia as soon as the ground permits. It i conceded by some that a good year for cherries is not favorable to peaches, mid a favorable year for peaches is not beneficial to rhf-rries, the two kinils of fruit not beinc snbj ct to the sam conditions. Some fruitgrowers, however, deny the claim. Cut the young apple trees back now instead of wuitinir a lew years, only to saw oil the stron jer limbs. All the wootl grown now. to be taken oil in the future, is only so much loss of time and fertility. The young tree can be made to a.suuie any shape preferred. Iu fact, a tree is just hat the grower makes it The work of induring the farmers to discard common stock, and grade up by the use of pure-bred males, has been in progress for half a cc ntury or more, and yet the farms are filled with common 6tock. It is satisfactory to progressive farmers that they have improved, however, and they do not again resort to the inferior kinds. The lambs coming in this month will uot be early, but they can be rapidly pitshed in crowih and made to overtake the February lambs by giving them plenty of food and warm quarters. An important point is to keep up the flow of milk from the ewes, and to do this their doud. should be raised, cooked turnips bei n au excel. ent addition. The loss from insect ravages in this country may appear small, but Prof. Riley estimates the annual damage as bih as $j(X ,(M.0,0 X). This is enormous, and equals the entire product of some of the ccrenl crops. It does not include the cost of labor devoted to the destruction of insects, or fur methods ot preventing depredation, but the value of the amount destroyed. The crops on the farm should be grown to suit the market. If wheat does not pay, tome other crop should take its place. The crops that bring the highest prices in proportion to cost of production should be grown, and to do this every farmer should be familiar with the market reports. By comparing prices for a year much valuable information can be derived. Poultry manure ran be best applied now. It is a very ditücnlt manure to pulverize, and when composted with coal ashs it is very hard. l?y spreading it on the trarden plot the snow and rain will soften the hard lumps, which are broken to ideces by the first hard frost that follows. After the lumps have been frozen and soaked two or three times they will lie rendered very fine. It the application is delayed too late in the season the droppings cannot be, as intimated, minzled with the sod as is doue by exposing them to the froats. IIoiiplioll Hint.

Borax ia preferred by many to ammonia for this work, as it is a great whitener and softener. Pitcher's Castorla,

JOHN WANAMAKER'S KITCHEN.

How lie Disposed of a Stock of Left-Over Mince Pies. Chicago Tribune's Washington Letter. John Wanamaker could give his prospective chief some good advice about the management of the white house kitchen. Mr. Wanamaker has one of the biggest Kitchens in the world. It is in the basement of his Philadelphia store, where no rats are tolerated and no dampness is permitted to penetrate. Wanamaker takes great pride in this kitchen, as he does in everything connected with his store. Often he goes down to the big steam cooking pan, lifts the lid, tastes the soup, peeps at the boiling potatoes, or inspects the little porcelain pan in which the charlotte russe is served. Wanamaker is noted for his rich charlotte russe, and the delicacy is made from a recipe furnished the chief cook by Wanamaker himself. Wanamaker likes to take visitors through his kitchen and ask them to sample the food in all its stages of preparation. His is one of the few great kitchens in the world which a man may go through and come out with a good appetite. Wanamaker's kitchen is actually an appetizer. The great merchant is never so happy as when running a knife into the Lancaster county butter and passing in around for the visitors to taste. In Wanamaker's restaurant from four thousand to eight thousand persons are fed every day, and Wanamaker is not too proud to lunch in Iiis own shop. In the 6iimmer he makes and sells there ö.CXl quarts of ice-cream daily, ami in the oyster season fries 30,hk oysters. Wanamaker knows his trade and caters to it us carefully as an apple woman on the 6trcet corner. That is the way he became rich. An instance of this is to he found i:i the orders he once gave bis restaurant manager about mince pies. "Have only the best mince pies that money will buy," he said, "even if you have to sell at a loss. I can aliord to sink 10,0KJ a year in mince pies rather than have people say I d not give them good pies. The people 01 Philadelphia can't he fooled on mince pies." Neither can Wanamaker, and with his usual earetulnes in seeing that ail his orders are carried out to the letter it was for a long time his custom to siin down stairs and sample the pie every day. Wauamaker is now as famous for his mince pies as he is for his cabinet prospects. When Wanamaker first started up his restaurant, then a much smaller place than it now is, his manager ordered L'iKJ dozen assorted pies iu anticipation of a bigrun by the Philadelidiians on their favorite pastry. But the customers were scarce the uext da), and when the store closed 107 dozen pies v -re still on hand. The restaurant manager was in consternation. He at once sought Wanamaker, whom he found iu his office alter all the employes had gone home. "Are the pies still good?" asked the great merchant after listening to the manager's story. "Yes: they wiil be good all day to-morrow, but not after that."
