immer holidays, which promise to well into the second week in Sepber before they give way to au-

tumn gayeties and gowns, promise to ro Gut in a glorious setting. The late summer and early fall costumes are «Ten more brilliant than were the ear-

lier omes, though as a rule they are Tot &0 expensive. Simple muslins in grays and whites are showing themselves as extreme favorites for the most charming afternoon and garden paTly gowns imaginable.

Muslin and silk is an odd combination, but it is one at which modistes bhzve arrived. Embroidered muslin znd poppy red taffetas piped with white are united with. surprisingly zood effect in a new costume. The new fesigm is ‘a flounced afternoon gown which is displayed on a pretty brumeiie model. The skirt is simply a se#:=s of shaped flounces which are longer in front than in the back. Each founce is strapped with the red and white silk. The bodice has a peculiar bolero—one that tapers below the waist to give a long and narrow ‘basgqued effect. The jacket is surrounded by a single band of the strapping and is cut short and square over = blouse of lace and muslin. The gleeves are raised on the shoulders,

Something of a novelty, at which women look admiringly but doubtfulIy, is the veil of opalescent hues. For gowns -de}icatg, misty rainbow colors are indescribably lovely, so why not fnd a place for this novelty among milady’s veils?

Chantilly laces in both black and white are very charming for afternoon veils, and, besides, they are so costly that they will never become common.

French women like to wear fine meshed veils to just cover the tip of the nose, and naturally we are not slow to follow their lead. However, not many women find the style really becoming, for it requires features bordering on the Grecian type tomake the short veil truly successful. - Hip yokes are the striking feature of the antumn! skirts. To Wwomen blessed (?) with stout figures this will be pleasing news, for there is nothing <0 becoming to such a figure as the hip voke. It gives a form of chicness to such a woman that she can get by no sther arrangement, yet the style is so striking that it must be fashionable if it is to be worn at all. It is not one of those little details that Dame Fashjon leaves to individual tastes. Hip yokes are either fashionable or they are not. There is no half way point of the wear or not wear as you please

Women’s College in Honduras. The government of Honduras has granted a subvention of $lOO a month to a college for women, and has given it a building with accommodation for some 200 scholars. ; This college was established in 1899 by an American, Dr. Joseph L. Jenckes. Honduras, while liberal in educational facilities for boys, has pever made adequate provision for girls. The college fills the need. Five thousand dollars was obtained by subscription in the vicinity, and some help has been given by people in the United States, and this, with the govermment aid, puts the college on a working basis.

giving the first hint that we may again see a maslification of the puff. Thesilk is slashed open down the forearms and permits undersleeves of plaited muslin to display their very voluminous folds. Silk lawn is one of the most charming materials for garden party frocks. It is soft and light and so exactly suited for a slender, graceful figure! Pale blue is just the tint for a blond. A silk foundation is necessary when this material is used, for it is so thin and pliable that it is impossible to make a skirt take on a fashionable flare about the lower part unlessisome supporting fabriec is placed underneath it. Two flounces headed by lace insertions and edged by lace make a pleasing skirt trimming for the pale blue silk lawn frock. Narrow plaits on the hips will give the skirt the correct shape. The bloused bodice should be fastened in the back and quite plain in front except for two vertical applications of lace insertion. -If desired, a few rows of narrow plaiting may be put around the neck. A deep lace collar over the shoulders matched by the vandyked cuffs upon the wrists makes a pretty decoration. A ribbon belt is all that is needed to complete this dainty robe. :

We had hip yokes in our modes of last spring. Then they were tiny affairs comparatively, which .dropped but a few inches from the waist line, and scarcely ever exceeded six inches in depth. The modes of the fall call for something different. Many of the hip, or skirt yokes, as they are now being called, reach half way to the knee, and below the skirt spreads out in a charming fullness of gathers and tucks.

“But while hip yokes are becoming to the stout person they also give a far better figure when shirred or elaborately tucked to the very thin woman. So it'is that two distinct types of femininity may be pleased with this fall fashion.

The fall materials will be of the thin, clinging kind, and these are essentially adapted toghe making of skirt yokes. In fact, many of them on the model gowns are of lace, liberally covered with applique, or ornamented with rows of insertion. Variety in effect may be secured by having the yoke cut deeper in front than at the back. One of the fall models in particular that attracted my attention was a figured foulard with strips of plain taffeta set in the yoke. The same effect was used to excellent advantage in the bodice. -

Chicago Inventor Has an Idea Which, He Thinks, Will Prove to Be Very Popular, “The inventors seem to be striving faithfully to relieve the horse of all the heavy hauling which it has in the past been called upon to perform, and it is probable the day is not far distant when pleasure drivers will be the only ones who will find use for this animal. The latest idea along this line of horsgeless vehicles is the farmer’s trolley road, which will make it posgible for the raiser of produce to come to town with his load,; dispose of it and return home without the aid of his team, the electric current being made [ 3 = “\I ! : B | KA G < *‘% Tl ) “m|[fl|‘!}mmuuar... » hP% (f'%mf.‘fl Ifl" : < Tl AL - 4 IO T , ;:y':i‘:{l o (AT T\~ W& ) el ) — a % rL" \{lY. —. = = T ' COUNTRY ROAD TROLLEY to do all the labor through the medium of the apparatus shownin theillustration. The inventor contemplates the installation of private lines by the farmers in a certain locality, or the rental of electric service from one of the suburban trolley companies which now cover the country around every large city. As will be seen, an electric motor is placed on the wagon, and power is obtained from the overhead wire, the connecting pole having a flexible adjustment to overcome all inequalities in the roadway. The horizontal portion of the conductor is divided and insulated, receiving the current from one wire and returning it to the other after it has passed through the motor todrive the wagon. The reason for using a return wire parallel with the power wire is to avoid possibility of shocks to the driver when standing beside the wagon and in contact with it, which might prove dangerous if the return current passed to the earth after use. By gearing the driving shaft low very heavy loads could he transported with comparatively little expense for current, and as there are no heavy storage batteries or power generators aboard there is plenty of room in the wagon for the loading of produce; ete. Daniel S. Bergin, of Chicago, 111., is the inventor.— Louisville Courier-Journal.

CROPS FOR POULTRY.

By Raising Them the Winter Income from the Hens Can Be Increased Materially,

Special crops for poultry could be made profitable, as a great many crops can be grown to advantage on farms where large numbers of poultry are kept, and which create a home demand for the articles produced. Seeds of sun-flower, millet, rape, kale, Kaffir corn, pop-corn, and even sorghum, could be utilized, the cattle and sheep consuming the bulky portions, and the fowls the.seeds. Where any of such foods become too woody for stock they may be made to do service as bedding. Cow peas are highly relished by fowls, and so is white clover, while erimson clover will supply green food late in the fall and very edrly in the spring, the same as rye. The regulation diet of corn and wheat in winter is not conducive to the production of eggs, but when the fowls have a variety they will largely increase this production. By selling such crops in the form of eggs better prices are obtained therefor, while the revenue from eggs and poultry will be obtained at a geason of the year when the farm will ‘be producing nothing at all. Some special foods may be grown on the farm that cannot easily be procured otherwise. A poultryman who makes his hens lay grows a patch of cow peas. The seed is put away for the use of the fowls in winter, the vines being fed to his cow. The peas are cooked—one quart for 30 hens—and thickened with a mixture of equal parts of bran and cornmeal. For summer he grows a patch in some other location, and when the peas are matured he lets his hens go in and help themselves, they receiving no other food. It may be necessary if the vines are too high to run a roller over them. The vines are left as a covering for the land, being plowed under in the spring. The peas pay an excellent profit in eggs, and the hens are kept out of mischief and in a thrifty condition in working for them.—Rural World. W -

The Hens Require Shade.

Shade is as necessary to the welfare of your poultry as to yourself. They do not have access to the water cooler or to the ice cream soda fount to slake their thirst or cool their feverish bodies. If nature has not provided for them by means of trees or other foliage, you must provide it artificially by means of small shed roofs in various portions of their runs. We have found that a low frame covered with canvas or tarred paper is a desirable thing. Also, take out your windews and substitute wire netting.—lnland Poultry Journal.

Clean Up Around the House,

Do you take a day occasionally to clean up around the farm home? They’re among the most profitable days we spend. Rubbish of all Kinds is thrown together and burned, and the ashes used to fertilize our strawberry patch. Old, worn-out machinery torn up and sold to the junk man, and the bolts, ete., kept to make new handy contrivances. A few such days spent each year take away that ragged, forlorn appearance, that elicits disgustful glances from the tidy visitor:or passer-by.— Farm Journal. . !

WEEDS 'IN PASTURES.

The Only Way of Checking Their Development Is by Grazing Fewer Head per Acre.

So long as the conditions in nature surrounding the wild prairie grass remain the same they will continue to grow in about the same proportions and to about the same extent. Man, however, changes natural. conditions violently. By breaking sod and putting in crops he opens places which afford room for strange plants, weeds, the seeds of which are carried thence to neighboring grazing land. Even then they will not drive out the wild grasses if the latter are left to themselves. On the contrary, if a farm is abandoned, weeds may riot for a few years on the broken land, but the sod retakes the soil eventually in the prairie regions, and the weeds are crowded out.

The most common cause of weed invasion of native pastures is overpasturing, whereby the wild grasses are kept down so that they cannot compete with the weeds. The latter, being unpalatable, usually are left undisturbed by the stock. Sometimes there are introduced weeds never found on the prairie, as ironweed, snow on the mountain or milkweed, horseweed and thistle. Others are tough prairie perennials growing among the grasses, but not spreading greatly, urtless the ldtter are kept down.

Prevention of weed invasion of pastures is generally perfectly possible by grazing fewer head per acre. Compare the number of weeds in a prairie pasture with those in an adjoining piece of similar land not grazed, but kept to be mowed for hay. What number of stock per acre can be safely grazed depends on the region. In the *“short grass” country 15 to 20 acres per head must be allowed. In central or eastern Kansas two and a half acres per head is perhaps the limit. :

Every farmer can tell by observation when weeds are coming in. If so,itis a sign to reduce the number of stock per acre. No man can afford to raise stock in such numbers that they use up the capital itself (the land) by killing out the pasture grasses which make it valuable instead of copsuming the interest only.—H. F. Roberts, in Cincinnati Commerecial-Tribune. -

POULTRY LOT FENCE.

If Built Seven Feet High It Is Sure to Keep Flighty Fowls from Escaping.

A neat, tight fence, seven feet high, is sometimes needed for flighty fowls. Laths fastened to stout wires with staples make a neat and fairly durable

Place the wires, which should be galvanized, a little less than three feet apart and stretch fairly tight. Use staples of galvanized wire such as come with poultry netting.—B. D. Keefe, in Farm and Home. DISEASES OF HOGS.

Most of Them Can Be Prevented by Cleanliness and a Pure Water Supply. There, is no doubt: that filth causes very much 6f the disease that affects swine. We hardly realize the importance of extreme cleanliness till disease comes and begins to carry off the hogs that have cost so much effort and: money to bring near to the marketable age. Yet a little extra care here and there would have prevented the great losses. The man that waters his hogs from a deep well—so deep that the water contains no germs—is wise. Not only does he prevent the spread of such diseases as hog cholera, but he also prevénts the introduction into the digestive tracts of the animals of animal parasites. The history of the spread of hog cholera shows that it has often come by the way of streams from which the hogs drink. The brooks and streams are the connecting links between the different farms. The hogs of a hundred farms may all drink from the same brook. If the hogs at the headwaters of the stream have cholera it is only natural that all the hogs down the stream also take the disease. Investigationshave shown this to be quite commonly the case.— Farmers’ Review. .

Danger in Pasturhlgw Rape.

There is some danger from bloat in turning animals on rape pasture , especially if they are not accustomed to it and eat it greedily at first. Itisbest. to have prairie or tame grass connected with the rape field, or at first to have a feed rack with hay or straw accessible. It is also saler at first to have the stock full of other feed, either pasture or grain, so that they will not be hungry and eat too rapidly. Some farmers practice turning their stock on the rape from other pastures and leaving them there only an hour or so each day, until they have become used to. it. 1 have generally found little difficulty with animals put on rape for'the first. time, as they prefer other foods until they learn to eat the rape plant and seldom overfill. —Prof. E. A, Burnett, in Farmers’ Review. -

Charcoal for the Fowls,

The value of charcoal must not be underestimated. It is of much help in keeping fowls in” health and preventing looseness. Feed it powdered in the food two or three times a week, Chickens for market will fatten faster if fed charcoal, it has been found. Charcoal is not a medicine, strictly speaking. It is an absorbent and as such takes up the poisonous gases in the gystem and carries them off. - It is practically harmless in any amouat,

WATCH AS A COMPASS.

If You Are Lost at Land or Sea Your Timepiece Will Aid You to Find Your Way Home,

If you ever get lost in a forest or drift out to sea in your sailboat the face of your watch will serve as a compass to help you find your way home, provided you can see the sun. You have only to hold the watch flat in your hand, with the hour mark then indicated as the time of day pointed directly at the sun, and a point half iway between that hour mark and XII will be opposite to due south in the sky. : For example, supposing that it is ten o’clock in the morning, hold the watch 50 that the mark X points straight at the sun, and the mark XI, half way between the X and XII, will be pointing toward the south.

Or, supposing it is four o’clock in the afternoon, hold the watch so that 1111 points straight at the sun, and the mark 11, half way: between 1111 and XII, will be pointing toward the south. This rule is infallible, as you may find by testing it at any hour of the day, for it is based on a very simple scientific principle. The entire circuit of the heavens, as traversed by the sun in 24 hours, is reckoned 360 de-

grees—that is, the sun travels 15 degrees every hour. Now, let your watch dial represent the circuit of the heavens, each of the 12 hour spaces standing for 30 degrees. Each half hour space, therefore, would stand for 15 degrees. If it is ten o’clock in the morning, ind you let X point toward the sun, you will see that in two hours’ time the sun will be on the meridian, or due south; but as every half hour space on your watch represents 15 degrees, the distance traveled by the sun in one hour, it will travel two of these spaces in two hours. In other words, at the expiration of two hours the sun will be on the meridian, and the meridian is now, therefore, opposite to XI, because XI is two half-hour spaces from X.

If it is four o’clock, the sun is four hoprs past the meridian, therefore, is op‘govsite to a point four half hour spaces back from 1111, which is lI.—N. Y. Herald. .

Owes Life to an Accident,

Isaac Johnson, a little negro boy, having his home near Charleston, S. C., owes his life to a peculiar accident. He had bought a large orange, which he was carrying home to his little sister. When nearly home a mad bulldog, frothing at the mouth, sprang at him furiously. There was no stick, stone or any weapon near, and the boy des~ perately threw. the orange at the frenzied brute.

This 1s how to make an open air playhouse of a large umbrella: Tie a strong piece of twine securely to the end of each of the ribs and tie the loose cnd of each piece of twine around the notch cut in a pointed wooden peg a short distance from its top. This will give an umbrella with a fringe of dangling pegs. Open the umbrella and fasten the handle securely to a long, sharp pointed stick, binding the two together with strong twine. First run one end of the twine down the length you intend binding, allowing enough to tie at the

Wind the string around very tight and when you reach the bottom tie the twine you hold to the loose end of the length under the wrappings. Examine carefully and be sure the handle does not slide or twist on the stick; then push the point of the stick down into the ground at the place decided upon for the playhouse. If you are not strong enough to erect the house by yourself, ask some companions to lend a hand and help sink the stick firmly in the earth. When this is accomplished stretch out each length of twine in turn and drive the peg in the ground. You will need a wide ruffle of some kind of material long enough to reach around the outer circle of pegs when it falls from : O 2N !

WHEN WIT WON WEALTH.

How a University Man Neatly Turned the Tables on a Rich PhiladelA phia Broker.,

The University of Pennsylvania has not a large endowment, and that it finds {he means to pay its current expenses and put up new buildings is due in great measure to its provost, Charles C. Harrison. His little black subscription book is well known in many a down-town office—too well known, a prominent broker told him not long ago. Mr. Harrison was pleading persistently with him for a subscription, says the Philadelphia Times, but in vain. Finally the broker said:

“See here, Mr. Harrison, I will give you something on one condition.” “Very well, Mr. T——,” said the provost; “name it.”

“The condition is that you neveg come into my office again until I ask you to do so.” . “Certainly, Mr. T——,” I agree to that,” saia the provost promptly, and walked out smiling with a check for $l,OOO. A month or so later the broker heard & knock at his door. “Come in,” he called, and in walked Mr. Harrison. He had the black book under his arm.

“Good morning, Mr. T——"he said; I want you to help me with a little university matter I am—" “Look here, Mr. Harrison,” the broker continued, “when I gave that last thousand dollars wasn’t it on the express condition that you wouldn’t come into my office again until I invited you?” : “Why, yes,” returned the provost, “I believe that was the understanding. But didn’t you say ‘Come in’ just now when I knocked?” ‘They say the check this time was for $5,000.
