Shirred Dresses, Ete. ; ‘ SHIRRING, or, to use an old word revived by French modistes, gauging, is probably the most conspicuous feature of Parisian costumes for the fall and winter. It is not confined to the plain wool goods used for neglige blousewaists, but is seen on corsages; sleeves and skirts of the richest fabrics; indeed, all fabrics of soft quality, such as satin de Lyon, plain satin, Cashmere and amel’s-hair, are ornamented with /;n?sfilly rows of parallel drawing-strings in large clusters thatiare from an eighth to a quarter of a yard in depth. 'This gauging is no longer confined to the - front breadths of skirts and to flounces, ~ but is massed at the waist line in front ~and behind, and is seen in more shallow rows on the shoulders of the full bodice. On some French dresses shirring a finger decp passes entirely arébund the waist in place of using a wide - belt. . It isseen on nearly all bosom drapery, and trims sleeves at the wrists and often at the elbows. One of the most fashionable ways of holding the full breadths that are added to the back of trains to make them flowing is to shirr the top in many rows at least two fingers deep, yet drawn together in very narrow breadth. There are also overskirts that have horizontal clusters of gauging on each hip to hold the panier fullness. The way, however, in which shirring is most seen is in the . clusters on the full bodice at the waist and shoulders. There are many shirred flounces in which the gauging is both lengthwise and horizontally drawn. The surtout is the new wrap for rainy ~days and for traveling. It is far more trim and shapely looking' than the belted Ulsters, and is eut precisely like a gentleman’s overcoat, with the lapped seam open down the middle of the back below the waist; two great buttons defining® the waist behind, short . side forms, pocket-flaps on the hips, coat -collagr and either double or singlebreasted. Drab English water-proof cloth is the fabric most seen in import--ed surtouts, but homespuns in checks are also used. Another similar wrap has the upper part fitted like a; loose sacque, while below this is loose wide kilt-pleating that gives abundance of. room to prevent crushing the dressskirts beneath. : g 1A small round-crown Derby felt hat is the favorite hat this autumn for ){ioung ladies to wear with wraps like those just deseribed, and with the dark cloth or flannel suits that are more in vogue than at any previous- season, These suits are very simply made, and . “have ‘a tailor-like finish; indeed, the handsomest are made by professional tailors. They have a close short habit basque, and two skirts without flounces or any trimming save rows of stitching on the hem, which’is turned up on the - edges. The over-skirt is long and round, though not very. full, and is “caught up high on each hip by pleats, or else a stitched loop of the cloth. The black buttons are ivory or buffalo horn. Green, maroon, and dark blue are the favorite colors for these plain suits, that are now preferred to all- ,others‘for} morning shopping, walking, and especially for traveling. | : v One of the novelties #for trimmings this season is lace painted by hand in Cashmere colors and designs. It is ‘shown in. both black and white; the black is in Breton patterns, and the thick figure is painted Japanese blue, ‘ or else old gold, with red, olive, or pale { blue. The white lace is woven in Mechlin patterns, and is most delicately tinted by the brush. Itcosts from $1.50 to $5 a yard, and is to be used for jabots, neck-ties, caps and handker- ‘ chiefs. - There are also bits of handpainting on silk and on India muslin to be made up with the white lace, and already printed lawns in the same gay colors are used for caps and handker_chiefs in imitation of the hand-paint-in%. ‘The black Cashmere-painted lace “will be used for trimming black dresses that are combined with the gay Cashmere brocades. A great deal of jetted lace is shown for trimming in heavier designs than have been used. Black Spanish lace is also very largely imported. For common - uses; point d”Alencon lace is now so well imitated in woven laces that the most fastidious do not hesitate to use it.—Harper's ‘Bazar. e !

The Astley Belt. THE following is a description of the belt for which the participants in the recent international pedestrian contest in New York contended; and which was won by Rowell, the noted English pedestrian: , The belt; was presented in. March, 1878, by Sir John Astley, the great patron of sports in England. - It consists of a heavy chain of eight links or plates, one of solid gold and seven of solid ster ling silver, fastened to each other by hinges and silver bars, and fastened underneath to the real belt, which is of red leather. The total weight of the ornament is not far from five pounds; so that, however desirable the possession : of it may be, no pedestrian would wear it while at work. The central link is the golden one; it is irregularly elliptical in shape and is surrounaed with a fanciful cut border in scroll patterns. In the center of the link or plate is the inscription, ‘¢Long Distance Champion of the World.”” The seven silver links are uniform in shape and size, being oblong in shape and about three inches by four and a half in size. On_the two next in place to the golden link are raised figures in bas relief, the figure on one be--ing that of a runner and on the other that of a walker. These figures are carefully finished, and the background of the links are en%:raved with very sketchy landscapes. The winners of the belt in contests previous to the one just brought to a close are: Skt March 18-23, 1878—Agricultural Hall, Islington, London —_,V&é on by Daniel O’Leary; 520 miles 2 laps.

Planting Fruit Orchards. . THE ultimate success of fruit orchards depends upon the judicious selection of soil, situation, trees, and their proper arrangement and management, hence any man who contemplates planting, whether a small or extended plantation, will do well to keep these essential points in view and avail himself of the 'experience gained in these several directions, not only by himself but his ‘neighbors, for experience is the trustworthy guide. . Beginning with the question when to plant, there are advocates for both fall and spring setting of orchards. Pomologists very generally agree that fall is the season for lifting seedlings and rooted layers for stocks. Many of them go farther and advise planting these in the fall as this saves handling, avoids all danger from loss in heeling-in and gives the trees time to throw out and mature new rootlets before the severe summer heat and drought comes on, which is not always the case in spring planting. Another argument advanced in favor of fall planting:is the leisure time occurring at this season, which naturally induces more extended orchards with work better done than during the rush and worry of the spring season. While on general principles it is safe and wise to advise the fall planting of fruit orchards, thisadvice, like all others, is subject to modification. Fall planting for instance, should be avoided in climates where the winters are long and severe, or where alternate freezings and thawings are frequent. Again, on some soils, experience has taught that stone fruits succeed best when set during the spring. The matter therefore resolves itself into the fact that the season of planting extends from after the fall of the leat in autumn by frost, until its reappearance in the spring, provided the ground is not frozen. - | There are soils of a certain texture and quality, as that commonly termed sandy loam, with a sandy clay sub-soil, in which, with proper management, all the hardy fruits can be grown in perfection. On this may be gained good resultsin apples, pears, plums, cherries and peaches. On the other hand, soils there are wholly unfit for any kind of fruit trees; these comprise such as are peaty or mucky, damp and cold and spongy soils. Experience "has proven that apples thrive best in a dry deep soil, between a sandy and clayey loam, and possessing a considerable portion of lime. The plum—excepting perhaps the Canada or native, and ri\lirabelle, which succeed on very light soils—do best on a rather stiff clayey loam, The cherry and peach require a light, dry and warm soil for enduring orchards. The best site for an orchard varies with localities, hence the wisdom of gaining in the immediate neighborhood the knowledge required. An eastern and southern exposure on low ground is to be avoided in sections where late and severe spring frostB prevail. If high winds from the west and north are to be guarded against it is recommended that a situation be chosen where some natural protection, as a belt of woods or hill, will break their force. If no such protection already exists, it will be wise to set out at the same time the orchard is planted a border of some rapid growing tree which will form a protection by the time the fruit trees have come into bearing. :

Selecting the varieties for a fruit orchard is a most important point and should be made in reference to the special purpose for which the frujt is intended. A commercial orchardist in the immediate vicinity of a good market will find profit in summer and early autumn fruits, for instance, while the market grower at a distance obtains his gains from late autumn and winter varieties which may be safely packed and transported. Low, stout trees, other things being equal, are preferable to tall, slender ones, and especially should this preference be observed in elevated and exposed positions. The square form, in rows the same distance apart and an equal space between each tree, is the: usual plan practiced in setting out or¢hards. Twentyfive feet is the distarice commonly allowed for the average apple orchard. P. Barry recommends thirty feet in all digections as none too many for standag trees. Peach trees should be set bout fifteen feet apart, as should m and cherry trees. Standard pear trees require from twenty to twenty-five feet. These distances are of necessity only approximate, there being a great difference between the sizes and varieties of the same fruit, and also in their habits of growth. . ;

The season previous to planting the soil should be at least twice plowefi and enriched with suitable composts. When this has been done planting an orchard is a'simple matter, holes being dug deep and wide enough to admit the roots. Where the soil has not been previously prepared planting requires considerable labor, especially if there are any defects in the soil, which ought to be remedied at this time by the aid of composts. Dig large holes and line the bottom with a good bed of compost composed, if the soil is too compact, of -san,£ leaf-mold, muck, ete., to render it more porous, and, if too light, of clay, stiff loom and ashes to render it more retentive. Lime should form a part of these composts, especially for apple and pear-trees. Barry recommends half a peck of lime mixed vith the bed of each tree in soil not naturally calcareous. In soil adapted to fruit culture if in a good state of tilth there is no necessity for either large holes or compost. The compost havin%‘ been laid and covered with a layer o pulverized soil set the tree in the hole, carefully adjusting the roots and fill it with fine earth which should be firmly trodden down around the tree. Where the trees are large or in exposed positions one or two stakes Lshoulcf be placed with each tree. Mulching is always advised; it prevents the moisture of the soil from evaporating and maintains a uniformity of heat. A deep mulching is required for trees planted in the fall to prevent the frost from penetrating to tlt)le roots and heaving the tree out o§ the ground.—XN, Y. W%rld

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. THE tin paper-used for covering chocolate and other esculents has been found to contain eighty-five per cent. of lead. ] : - PEACHESIN CANs.—Peelripe peaches; cut them in halves, put them in a pre-servixli,ff-kettle,{ with a little sugar sprinkled over them. Let them heat thoroughly in a pan of hotwater on the range. V&hen the peaches are scalding hot put them in glass jars and seal them up. I FIND that lime, wood ashes and old iron put round the roots of declining fruit trees have a very beneficial effect. These fertilizers restore also the trees to a healthycondition, and also greatly improve the fruit in quality and in quantity.—W. A. London. A WwrITER in the New England Farmer who tried numerous experiments in setting fence posts by reversing, salting and charring is satisfied that charring did no good. Salting dry posts was beneficial, but upon green ones it was useless. The best thing was reversing the ends. Of the various kinds of timber of which postsare made, red and yellow cedar rank the highest for durability,’aside from the effects of any preserving process. HyacintHs.—The time is now at hand when this brightener of northern winters needs the ¢are of the cultivator. The gardener of the University of Berlin has discovered that hyacinths may be propagated by their leaves, thus revealing a new way to raise a large number of new varieties. The leaves require to be cut off as close to the. bulb as possible, put in a saucer, and covered with a thin layer of sandy ‘leaf mold. The saucer having been placed in a greenhouse, close to the inner surface of the glass, in eight or nine weeks will develop buds. We do not, however, recommend our readers to commit their prospect of future stock for mantel decoration to the success of this system, but for chamber growth to rely on the oldfashioned system of growing the bulb in glasses, the base just touching the water. If grown in pots, fill with sandy, porous soil, water well, and place in a dark cellar for a month, till the roots are made, and then remove as wanted for flowering to a light, warm room. When. planting in. garden beds, do nßot meix the colors, bury the bulbs some five inches below the soil and cover well before frost. In April the spikes will bear cutting freely. Those who have delayed sowing their lawn grass can do it at the time they plant their hyacinth beds.— Woonsocket (R. 1.) Patriot. MaNY farmers will ¢ pay two prices” for land covered with hazel brush. The clearing of the land of hushes is attended with much labor and expense, and it is very difficult to plow the land after the bushes are removed, on account of the large number of roots left in the soil. ' @renerally three or four years” time is required. to eradicate all the roots so that the harrow and cultivator can be employed to good advantage. Still farmers prefer what is called ¢ hazel-brush land,” because the presence Ofo‘?le bushes affords a sure indication of a rich soil; and one that will prove fruitful for a long time. They think that a particularly rich soil is necessary to the production of hazel bushes. It is more likely, however, that the bushes produce the good soil, than that the originally good soil was the cause of the growti of . the bad bushes. Several varieties of . small trees and bushes increase the fertility of the soil on which they . grow. Their roots penetrate the ground to a distance of several féet, loosen it to a considerable extent, and leave, when they decay, matter which is taken up to cultivate crops. Their foliage shades the soil, and it has long been known that a dense shade increases the fertility of most soils. Not only their leaves, but their branches fall to the ground and decay, forming a very valuable manure. The trunks of small trees and stems of bushes prevent the passage of leaves among them, so that lar(;fre quantities of them accumulate and decay on the land. Most have noticed the' dense ‘mass of vegetation which collects under hazel -bushes which grow in places exposed to the prevailing winds. This vegetation, being shaded and kept in a moist condition, soon changes to valuable manure. More than a century ago it was noticed in Scotland that impoverished land planted to locust-trees became fertile in the course of a few years.—Chicago Times. g v

The Barn, IN our northern latitude, and in considerable portion of what we term our southern latitude, barns for stock are indispensable. Wherever it is necessary to stall-feed at all, of course this is true. Pure air is so necessary to the health of animals, that the very first thing to be taken into consideration in the construction of such buildings is ventilation, and this should be, as it can be, secured without cost to the warmth of the structure. It is also as easy to construct a barn with a view to convenience as otherwise, and this being true, the many inconvenient barns in the country are wholly inexcusable. . Tt is true that there are very mary thin%s that the means of the farmer will often prevent him from supplying, but as a whole he can make the barn ‘“handy’ for the purposes: for which it is erected. ; -As the reader is probably aware, in Pennsylvania and other sections with a similar surface, barns are usually constructed on a zide hill, or embankment, which brings the main floor on a level with the top of the embankment. Such a site should always be chosen for a barn when it is possible. Inmany sections, however, this is not possible, and the building must be designed for level ground, anfi the best done under the circumstances possible. It is better to have the stock under the main floor, if it can be done, but in such case, even more care must be given to ventilation than would otherwise be given. Being partially under ground, the gases are more closely helc%-‘ than they would be, if the stables were on the main floor. ~ln very mugh of our Western countr{l, however, we cannot find the side hills, and so must content ourselves to conform to circumstances. Under such conditions, the stalls will have to be arranged on the main floor, unless the

somewhat onerous expense for banking up is resorted to. One of the most con‘venient barns we have ever seen consists of a long main building, the entrances to which are not connected with the barnvard, but has an L, the entrance to which opens into the yard. In such a structure as many stalls can be constructed on the sides as may be desirable, provided of course that if they should occupy all the sides, the yard would necessarily have to extend around the building. In the barn referred to, the stalls can only be constructed on one side and in the L. There is a driveway through the main building and also through the L. The temperature of the cow room should be carefully looked after. Greatly varying temperature must necessarily effect the welfare of the animal. Dairymen differ considerably as to the proper temperature, but from fifty to sixty degrees Fahr. is about the proper temperature. If it is too high it will necessarily affect the health og the cow, and certainly the reasons are obvious enough why it sheuld not be too low. It is not too late now to make improvements in barns which are not properly fitted for the comfort of cattle during the winter.” There is a great deal of benefit derived from having the treatment of cattle when they are brought in for the winter, regular. It is a good plan to have each one have a particular stall. . Cattle do not like strange surroundings, and dairy cows especially are injured by changing them from one location to another. The quarters should be comfortable enough for the cow to occupy it in contentment even the whole day, and in very bad weather she should bhe allowed to so occupy it. Turning cattle out in all weather, is very unprofitable as it is very harmful.— Western Rural. :

A Baby that Weighs Only Three Quar- : ters of a Pound. ‘ ] Ix an aged and dilapidated little wooden house at 438 West Fifty-fourth street, in this city, live George Fromm, and his wife, both natives of Germany. For the last few months Fromm, who was formerly a car-driver, has been out of work, and in consequence he and his family have suffered untold hardship. Last Saturday ‘‘the poor man’s legacy’’ came to Fromm in the shape of a male child, just then born, of so diminutive a size that.it might have easily been carried in the crown of his father’s hat, and weighing but three-quarters of a pound. Yesterday a reporter of the Sunday News called on Mrs. Fromm, and saw the baby. The happy mother was then convalescent, and was'engaged in making a pair of socks for the baby, it having been found impossible to purchase a pair small enough for his feet. An ordinary baby’s sock would be large enough to make him g nght-shirt, his feet not being two inches long. The baby clothes which were prepared are altogether too large for the new arrival, and the dress which the midget had on weighed more than himself. The ¢“boy” is a perfect specimen of humanity and remarkably b{\l?:hfi He has developed a good appetife, and, with his black eyes and regular features, is what the ladies would ecall pretty. The parents are* of medium size, and have been married eleven years, during which time Mrs. Fromm, who is now but twenty-seven years old, has borne eight children—including twins. Of these all are dead except one little girl of two years old and the baby —all her other children were of the average size when born. - Crowds are constantly visiting the house to see the little fellow, among the number being ladies from many of our aristocratic families. As many as 300 persons a -day have called. A goodnatured colored woman, who. lives in the house, knowing the reduced circumstances of the parents, thought this influx of visitors might be turned to their advantage, and thereupon she adopted the plan of charging a fee to every person who called. The result has been that quite a revenue has been realized. The baby is to be baptized on Sunday next in the German Episcopal Church, on Forty-second street. It will be named after his father: The little fellow weighs eighteen ounces when dressed, is five inches high, and has a breadth across the shoulgers of two and a half inches.—N. Y. News. .

[TRADE-MARK.] . The Best Remedy Known to Man! Dr. Clark Johnson having associated himself with Mr. Edwin Eastman, an escaped captive, long a slave to \%Va\kametklg(i the medicine man of the Comanches, is now ({)repar to lend his aid in the introduction of the wonderful remedy of that tribe. o The exgerlence of Mr. Eastman being similar to that of Mrs. Chas. Jones and son, of Washington County, lowa, an account of whose €sufferings were thrillingly narrated in the New York Herald of Dec. 15th, 1878, the facts of which are so widely known, and so nearly . parallel, that but little mention of Mr. Eastman’s exPeriences will be given here. They are, however, pubished in a neat volume of 800 pages, entitled *Seven and Nine Years Among the Comanches and A&aches-{: of which mention will' be made hereafter. Suffice it: say that for several years Mr. Eastman, while a captive, was compelled to gather the roots, gums, barks, herbs and berries of . which Wakametkla’s medicine was made, and is still pre{xared to provide the SAME K terials for the successful introduction of the medicine to the world; and assures the public that the remedy i® the same now as when Wakametkla compelled him to make it. ¢ & e = 7 N\, B 2 o . 1) 4 '3’ | &:[ : o oy I +« NA A ow vl ) Q f [; i e &S N\ERT 4V 4 /S Lo Y NN ‘oo o N s oL Sy \\_\\“ 'Ar’!’.,/!"ll i 2z > NN\ 1 B R e Tt SNy V‘ LGN © 4 3 s ~» & ’-’ = < > ».‘- .“, ’ Ay V%ffll?fi\ .. = ™ & m‘f'r‘%’,f SR ' o ox AW o 2 (TN /v.i,.‘:‘ >~ e 5% G T 2 Sy P INN\ a 2 i NEHEER S D : ; S XAPN VN SRS N e £ U N\ S\ Ui AN 2 S RN SRR ERUARRN 3\ A A\ ‘*A\X\\‘ - \\)\m\\\\/\\ .‘ ; > N ’-“\%.'.;f MR ' : i.’ | i Wakametkla, the Medicine Man. thing has been added to the medicine and nothing halg%een%aken away.
