THE FAMILY LINEN CHEST.

It Should at All Times Be Kept Per- : fumed with Appropriate : Sachet Powder. :

~ A dainty housekeeper -always takes pride in the arrangement and freshness of her linen closet. The faint fragrance of lavender blossoms about the bed linen is always a delight. Inexpensive sachets made the length and width of the closet drawers are sometimes used as linings, in preference to the ordinary white shelving paper. These satchets should not, of course, be strongly perfumed, but simply made of one layer of cotton batting over which a little violet or other satchet powder is scattered. A few dried lavender blossoms are especially nice. The cottom batting is covered with cheesecloth in any soft color. the: housewife; may fancy. The satchet is then tufted with embroidery silk and tiny bow-knots of narrow ribbon.

Sometimes fastidious housekeepers make sachet strips of white butchers’ linen, eyeleted at either end, and run with No. 1 ribben. The perfumed pads of cotton batting are slipped into these, and may be taken out when they are sent to the: wash, N 2

~ The simplest way of arranging the linen chest or . the bedrocom bureau drawers is to line them with clean white shelving paper, and place a gmeall sa‘cheé in each one, If these sachetsare made ,of glace or India silk in deep colors, they do not become so easily soiled as when made of cotton. If a sachet is to be filled with dried rose leaves or rose sachet powder, dull rose colored silk should be used. Lavender calored sachets are filled with dried lavender blossoms.—Kansas City Journal.

PERFUMES AGAIN IN STYLE.

For Seweral Years Scents Were in Disfavor, But a Reaction Has : Now Set In.

The smart woman of to-day has her own special perfume, and, if she is particulariy faddy, she has a special:man distill it from a .special flower after a special recipe. For the last five years it has been considered in wretched taste to wear the slightest suspicion of scent, but the reaction has set in, and now the toilet water, toilet powder, bureau drawer, note paper, hats, soaps, face creams, and all the belongings of the 1904 girl are permeated with her special brand. And whynot? Beauty haslong ago_set its approval on the practice, and many a famous woman of history had her choice scent. The memoirs of Recamier, De Stael, La Pompadour, Du Barry, and hosts of others mention particularly the fragrance that surrounded the rooms and person of the old-time beauties. To be sure, the fastidious woman of our day does not saturate her hair and handkerchief in odors. She will not even use a liquid perfume. But by the discriminating use of fragrant satchet bags well distributed in gowns, hats, coats and gloves a delicate aroma is wafted thatis extremely agreeable to the most fastidious of noses. : Some of the best-liked scents are Parma violets, white rose, and that newest favorite which is called water lily. This last is an oriental mixture of powders which is very lasting, and possesses a peculiarly foreign perfume that is very pleasing. ;

Nothing could be more novel and attractive than the design of entangled hearts on this pillow. Make the cover of blue linen and cut cut a number of white linen hearts of various sizes and scatter over the background in a suggestive way. When you have them placed in position paste each one neatly to the foundation. Now with silk but-ton-hole stitch around all the edges, some with blue, some with white filo.

Another way which might be easier for some, would be to stamp or draw the hearts on a piece of white linen, lay this over the blue, embroider the edges, and when finished cut the ‘superfluous white linen away, leaving the design on the blue background.—Woman’s Farm Journal. ‘ Use ?f Asphalt. Asphalt was first used for street pavements in Paris in 1838, and since then the demand for this purpose has warranted an annual production throughout the world ‘of 450,000 to 560,000 metric tons of asphalt and bituminous rock.

!BABY @OCARTS IN CHICAGO

They Have Supplanted the Baby Car- - riage Because They Take Up % Far Less Room. -

Chicago has more gocarts adapted to the use of small children of American parents than any other city:: in, the world. And the demand for the gocart is still growing, in spite of the fact that some of the medical authorities of Great Britain have been writing monographs upon its use by American women who are visiting that kingdom: Two things above all others in Chicago have made for the demands for the gocart. First of these is the flat building; second, the congested down-town district, which may bring the mother of the middle class seven miles to State street to buy two yards of ribbon. And coming down town with the baby that is in short dress, how is it possible without the gocart? How, otherwise, could she get down from a fourth-floor apartment with the perambulator? And how else is it possible for her to put it on an elevated train, as with the gocart, and bring it into the loop district? :

But, in spite of all this, the British physician is quoted as saying of the gocart in the United States: ‘‘Perhaps babies of too tender age are not put in them; perhaps in the rush of transatlantic city life such trifles as curvature of the spine and malformation of other bones do not count.”. °

Looking over the modérn gocart as it is seen in the stores at prices ranging from $2.75 to $4.95, the layman who may have a baby of his own is struck with the fact that in all probability the designs were not attested by any particular body of men or women who have at heart the improvement of the human race. Such a machine seems in the first place adapted to the convenience of space rather than to the convenience and comfort of.the baby that is to sit in it. It will fold up until it isn’t thicker than an ordipary mattress, and in its folded condition it will stand alone when the baby might tumble headlong. The%ottom of it will not adapt itself to a reelining -position; it hasa pair of springs which are remarkable for the quality of springlessness; the bottom is of hardwood and the wheels are designed as if

“Did you ever ride over an Irish road in an Irish jaunting car?”’ asked Dr. Joseph B. De Lee as a return question. “‘Or over a corduroy road in Wisconsin, holding with both hands to the rail of a buckboard seat? Probably when some of the present babies of the gocart have grown to these adult experiences they may get an idea of some former existence from the jaunting car and the buckboard. Certainly one may imagine the babe’s getting about the same relative.shaking up from the gocart. - P ‘“The menace of the gocart, I should say, would be in putting babies into it before they are old enough to sit up properly. It would beimpossibleto give a positive age limit at which babies may be put into such a cart, for the reason that such babies at eight months old are more able to sit up than are others that are a year and a half old. In general, however, a baby should not be put into one of these carts until it is one and one-half or two years old. “This is not to say that-a child will be thrown out of shape because of a little riding in such a vehicle; in all probability its greatest suffering would come from the shaking up it would receive in the beginning. At the most this would reflect upon the nervousocondition of the child and keep it awake when it should be asleep. But if the human body at any stage of its development were so susceptible to gocart posturesas to crook spine and thighs and bones of the pelvis, there wouldn’t be a straight man in Chicago. * ; , “The mother of the child nowadays does not expect to stay at home and become a nurse; she wishes to get out of doors herself, and she wants to take her child into the air. The gocart is the solution of the difficulty, especially if the mother lives in,a flat or an apartment. In coming down town, where the mother cannot leave the child with a competent nurse, the gocart is the only ‘possible means' by which she can get into State street for shopping. She cannot strap the child to her back, and ‘she cannot carry it; she trundles the little one to the car line, folds up the cart, and sfores it in a corner until she reaches her destination, after which the child may be put back into it and be wheeled all over the loop district, if the mother wishes. The cart has come to stay with the mothers of the middle class.”— Chicago Tribune. %

FRUGAL MEXICAN INDIANS.

They Are Trained from Childhood to Habits of Industry and Thrift. ‘

Imagine a poultryman who carries his chickens 50 miles to market on his back, or an orange grower who trots behind, his pack train of burros three days and nights of each weék to deliver his product in the city on Sunday, says the Los Angeles Times, . The speed with which the Mexican Indian accomplishes these long journeys is astonishing, but comes from early. training. When a boy reaches his tenth year his father undertakes his education. He is given a new belt or sash and new leather sandals and clad in shirt and trousers of spotless white “manta” he follows his father out of the little valley which has been his world. : His pack is only a small ‘canteen of drinking water, while his father has strapped to his back a crate of peaches and a jar of;wild honey. They cross rough mountains and deep gorges, speakifig no words and never varying their pace from-a slow, regular trot. . The sun strikes pitilessly from a cloudless sky and the little clumps of shade seem but placed to torture those who cannot stop. =~ . A pause i finally made in the bed of a canyon, where a little water trickles from the side of a rock to lose itself in a wilderness of bowf\%ers and sand. “Wash out your mouth, but do not swallow any of it,” commands the father, and the boy obeys, though his stomach feels as parched as his lips. Now they take a winding trail, going ever upward, and the boy’s fect slip and shuffle as he strives to keep the pace on the dusty path. _ The surx reaches the zenith and descends slowly toward the west and hunger begins to i*gn,a)‘.' until the little fellow lets out a whimper. “Pull your belt as tight as you can,” sayvs the father; ‘‘we must not. eat or drink when traveling.” When the sun touches the great ridge of hills in the west a halt is made and soon the drieq meat is simmeringover a fire. They pasg the night on the ground and, rising before dawn, ‘continue their |journey. Once in town the honey and peaches are sold or traded at the market for a few yards of “manta” or a nest of earthen dishes. ; :

It is not uncommon for these Indians to travel 60 miles by trails so rough that a horse could not follow them. .

POOR CONCERNS, BiIG SAFES

Business Houses of Questionable Stability . Have Larger Strong- - : Boxes Than They Need.

One distinctive and distinguishing feature of financial collapses is the large measure of attention which is attracted to the safe or safes of the defunct firm or corporation. It is a well-established axiom in business circles, states the New York Sun, that ‘“the poorer the credit the larger the safe.” New concerns of questionable stability in every business district almost invariably equip themselves with elaborate, ornate and usually powerful safes protected against burglars, fire or other unfore§een contingencies and having, usually, some very elaborate combination. When the smashup occurs the sense of confidence among creditors, inspired by the formidable character of the safe, leads them to insist upon the opening of the strong box in the apparent belief that it is sure to yield large hidden treasure, an exception almost never realized. 5 .

A new concern which would start in business without a formidable safe or safes would certainly lack ome of the chief resources for getting credit; but notwithstanding this, huge safes continue to be almost an integral part of all businesses in a line where large credit.and very little real resources are demanded. In the furnishing of a new office or offices the item of safes is never large, but in no way better than by the purchase of safes can a full measure of credit be established. ’

Some day there will be a smashup in the business district of New York, and the sensational discovery will perhaps be made that there was no safe in possession of the concern, but so far no such case has been disclosed, and every large concérn, it is now sometimes said, has a small safe and every small concern a large one. :

For years onions and potatces have come to us from Bermuda, but merely because the season there is further advanced than ours. Onion raising is practically ® new-industry, following the reclaiming of the lowlands along the Nile, where the soil is exceedingly rich. They have the cheapest labor in the world out there, and even with the cost of shipping they can send us their vegetables and make a profit on them.””—Philadelphia Record. . FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The interest in alfalfa seems always on the increase. Ten years ago the farmers of Kansas were discussing whether or not they would grow this crop, while now the same discussion is being carried on in the states far to the east and north.

It is claimed that it worked- its way eastward overland, but tlris may be doubted to some extent, as it is-eertain that it was grown in the southern Atlantic states a generation ago in a tentative way. But that most of the spread has been from California fields seems certain, the plantations following the lines of railway over the mountains and through the arid'deserts of Arizona and New Mexico. It has now become the great hay crop of the semiarid region. J Alfalfa was looked upon as a plant adapted to the dry sunny climates only, but it is now coming to be considered a cosmopolitan plant of great range of growth. It is certain that where it has been grown in large quantities it has enormously increased the productivity of the land and increased the number of live stock that can be carried on each acre. The ranchmen of the west are now using immense quantities of alfalfa in the winter feeding of stock being prepared for market.—Farmers’ Review.

HOG’'S NOSE IS ‘ALL RIGHT.

To Disfigure the Snout Which the Creator Has Given to the Animal Is a Mistake. .

I have noticed instances where some of my farmer brethren asked which instruments are best in disfiguring the nose .of a hog. I beg to answer the same by saying, in the first place, that it!is inhuman and inexcusable cruelty to disfigure the nose of a hog, remarks a writer in Northwestern Agriculturist, besides, it is a detriment to the owner. Our Creator gave the hog his snout to root with, in order to find a medical substance which his system needs to cleanse the blood, to disinfect all worms and trichinea and to keep him in good health and a thrifty condition. But if that is prevented by disfiguring his nose, and this medical substance is not fed to him, he will then become unhealthy and diseased, and will be unfit for mankind to consume. 1 will venture to say that 90 per cent. of cholera hogs have died with a disfigured nose. S

I have handled for the past 26 years as high as 300 hogs yearly, and have yet to see where they have made a hole largeé enough to set a hen. To prevent rooting, dig a hole four and ene-half feet deep, two and one-half at bottom, four and one-half at top; start a fire at bottomg throw in any kind of wood and cobs and when all is in a blaze cover hgle airtight, with sheet iron. Break up the charcoal next day, mix with each bushel four pounds of salt, one-half pound copperas dissolved in water, and sprinkle over it, then put in self-feed box. Swine will then stop rooting and do well. If I were elected to congress one of my first bills would be to make it'a mimsdemeanor to put rings in or to disfigure in any way a hog’s nose, or anybody that ® would manufacture or any person that would handle' any rings or instruments for said purposes should be held liable for misdemeanor. [A ‘heavy fine or six months in the penitentiary, or both, according to the discretion of the court, would be one of the best steps toward the health of mankind in this universe.

Green Manuring of Crops.

. There are many soils that are not benefited by green manuring ‘crops. Such - soils are those already rich in nitrogen and in humus. 'An investigation by the University of Illincis has shown that on many of the soils in Illinois an addition of humus and of nitrogen would be a positive detriment. This leads to the remark that we must have a reason for every farm operation. The green manure crop is needed on that soil that is deficient in humus and nitrogen, bt is labor lost on many other soils. It is obvious that we cannot lay down rudes that can be blindly followed on all farms. The green manuring crop is vakiable where it is needed, but worthless or worse, where it is not needed. The intelligence of every farmer must determine the necessity for each operation on the farm. —Farmers’ Review. How to Get Strong Chicks. } If a breeder wants good, strong chicks, he must “begin at the beginning” and see that the stock that produces the eggs is strong and vigorous. Strongly fertilized eggs come only from stock thatisin good condition, vigorous and healthy, well fed and well cared for. The germ in an egg from weak, diseased stock will always be weak and will never produce a strong chick, if it hatches at all. The breeder who failed to get his .breeding stock in the pink of condition before the commencement of the hatching season will not get the best results.—Coms mercial Poultry. v ek ‘

LOTS OF FARMS LEFT YET.

Public Domain Is Not‘by Any Mcans 'Exhau§ted, as Some Would s Eave Us Believe.

The material development of the country is quietly progressing at a remarkable rate in one direction which is not given much popular attention. More than 22,824,299 acres of the public lands were turned over to private individuals last year. This means that an area almost equal to that of the state of Indiana has within that time been added to the productive regions of the United States. Most of these newly opened lands were homesteaded by farmers, as will be seen from the following figures: There were 54,365 patents of all classes issued within the year. Of this number 47,,654 are classed as agricultural, 4,904 as Indian allot. ments, 1,104 as mineral patents, 200 as coal patents, 476 as private land claims, 187 as railroad patents and 40 as swamp land patents. The total sum -which the government got by way of fees and com_missilons for issuing thcesa patents was $11,024,744. Under a recent law the most of the receipts from the sale of public lands will henceforth be set aside for reclaiming arid lands by irrigation. , ' In the public domain there are still unappropriated 380,979,307 acres ¢f surveyed lands and 591,976,169 acres of ansurveyed lands, a total of more ¢han 970,955,000 acres. A great many iracts in this immense area, of course, Will always remain uncultivated anu ansettled, -but it h2s been estimated that when the contemplated system of irrigation shall be put into working order so much good land will be opened that a population as large as the whole nation’s present population could find room there to thrive prosperously and contentedly.

Rapid strides are now being made in the developing of the ‘public; domains. The exfitement and unroar of former biloneer days are absent in this WOr:, but the process is marked and very effective. The passenger traffic on western railrcads is evidence of this:fact. Agreeable reflections arise in contemplating that the United .States " still owns so much arable public land.* The dangers of an overcrowded population by immigration or natural increase are still remote. The census for -many years yet to come wili not show an excess of people above what the wes* will need in settling up igs vacant lands.—Kansas City Journal.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

Plants derive their substance chiefly from the air, as all the carbo-hydrates are supplied by the air, and those elements come into the plant through the leaves and comprise many times the bulk of that derived from the soil. On many farms there are muck swamps that might be made a source of value, especially where nitrogen is wanting in the other soils. The cow pea is worthy of more attention that' it has received, though it is receiving more attention every year. ; o ¢

When Cutting Short Grain.

When cutting véry short grain with a harvester, considerable difficulty is often experienced, as the short cut grain will accumulate upon the sicklebar in such quantity as to clog the gickle. And it will be found that if the reel is lowered enough to prevent this, the short grain is thrown too far back upon the platform and scattered so badly that it cannot be properly bound into bundles without great loss. To avoid .this, get some very heavy canvas, tgh inches wide, and fasten it with tacks the full length of the reel slats, and this will sweep the grain gently onto the platform and thus avoid waste.—Farm Journal. ' Live Stock in Cold Climates. Cold climates are as well suited to the raising of live stock as are temperate and warm climates. While ‘herbage is more abundant in the warm climates and the winters are shorter, yet most of our farm animals do better in the cold climates than in the warm, and diseases are less numerous. Grass is a greater factor in the north than in the south, for climatie reasons. : ey S
