ICun Write 011 Her Face. Sirs'. D. A. Jones, of Carmel, can trace letters anywhere on her arm or face, and they immediately appear in raised characters, which last for an hour or so, and are plainly visible from across the room. Moreover, if one pinches her or she hits against anything in walking about the house the affected part at once becomes irritated and begins to rise. This remarkable phenomenon is ascribed to a peculiar V condition of the blood for which many H' phvsicians have treated her, thus far Ml ineffectually.?Bangor (Me.) Com mercial.

[ Spring Is the season for purifying, cleansing and I renewing. The accumulations of waste I everywhere are beintr removed. Winter's Icy grasp is broken and on all sides are indications of nature's returning life, renewed force and awakening power. Spring 1 Is the time for purifying the blood, i cleansing the system and renewing the physical powers. Owing to close confinement, diminished perspiration and other causes in the winter, impurities have not passed out of the system as they should, but have accumulated in the blood. Sprino I Is, therefore, the best time fo tako Hood's I Sarsaparilla, because the system is now 9 most in need of medicine. That Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best blood purifier and | 8pring medicine is proved by its wondei* i ful cures. A course of Hood's Sarsaparilla now may prevent great suffering later on.

A young woman from out of town went to a tea among the literary 6et la6t week. She was introduced to 8 whole roomful of people, and afterward 6he went about trying to call everybody by hie right and propei name?she rather prides herself on that sort of thing you know. Sht remembered an amazing number ol oamee, but when she came to one distinguished looking man she paused iD despair. "I know everybody else't name," she said, "but when I try to remember yours I am completely al sea." "Then you're not far wrong,'* r eaid the distinguished looking man.

A physician of Pocahontas County, Virginia, tells a story of a patient who one night recently swallowed two thir1 ty-two calibre cartridges in mistake for two five grain capsules of medicine. No Eerious harm resulted, though the patient had an anxious time for some hours. AN I^TATfOX | It Gives r? Pleasure to Publish the fol? I lowing Announcement.

Think what a volume of experience she has to draw from! No physician living ever treated so many cases of female ills, and froi? this vast experience surely it is more than possible she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. STle is glad to have you write or call upon her. You will find her a woman full of sympathy, with a great desire to assist those who are sick. If her medicine is not what you need, she will frankl}- tell you so. and there are nine chances out of ten that she will tell you exactly what to do for relief. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands.

Description of a Handsome DoubleBreasted Basque?A Blouse of Brown Serge?The Latest in Ladles' Waists. fir REEXISH gray vigorous that / / matched the skirt made the stylish basque depicted in the illustration, the seams of sleeves being piped with dark green satin, which also faces the lapping sides and rippled lower edges. Small greenish shaded pearl buttons in groups of four are used to decoratc the fronts and sleeves, the neck being finished with a smooth, standing collar of green velvet. The basque is glove fitting with doublo bnst darts and the usual back seams to the waist line, below which the seaccs are sprung to give the modish ripple effect all STYLISH DOUBLE BBEASTED BAS around. The front laps widely, closing with the collar at left shoulder and /1/\TT7n loft f Mnf in /InnVllo.VirfiA.Rtpd style, buttons and buttonholes or hooks and eyes being used to close, as preferred. The 6tylish sleeves are shaped in four sections, the fullness at the top being laid in box plaits, with piped seams in centre of each, and side plaits turning toward back and front. The basque is adapted to the tailor modes that are simply finished with machine-stitched edges, and can be stylishly developed in plain or mixed woolens, cheriot, tweed, covert, melton or faced cloth, small, medium or large buttons being equally fashionable. The quantity of material 44 inches wide required to make this basque for a lady having a 36-inch bust measure is 3J yards. A BLOUSE FOR MISSES. Brown serge made the stylish bleuse shown in the second large illustration, the broad sailor collar being of grass linen, edged with batiste embroidery. Fancy gilt filigree buttons decorate the fronts, which can be used in closing, or the closing can be made invisible under the wide box plait. The blouse is simply shaped by shoulder and under-arm seams, the lower edge being finished by a hem, through which elastic is inserted., to draw the fullness into position at the waist line. Tne lull sleeves are in Disnop scyje, gathered on npper and lower eJges into straight, round cuffs at the wrists. The collar can be made of the same material as the blouse, camel's hair, tweed, cheviot or flannel being suitable materials that can have the collar and cuffs decorated with braid or gimp. Wash fabrics make useful blouses in duck, percale, sateen or gingham, trimmed daintily with embroidered or lace edging. The quantity of material 36 inches wide required to make this bic:ae for a miss fourteen years of age is 2} yards. SEPARATE WAISTS. Fancy waists are again to be fashionable for spring and summer wear, and although they are no longer the very latest fad, their usefulness and comfort have been so thoroughly established that every complete spring outfit includes three or four of them. The silks that aie fashionable this season are peculiarly well adapted for fancy waists, and there are numberless pat I MISSES' terns to choose from. There are the silkB in light color, so suitable for theatre and evening wear, while in the darker every conceivable shade is shown. Even tho handsomest gowns have an extra waist of some fancy silk or brocade with which to make a change if so desired. The great difference in this season's fancy waists is in the raffle or basque effeot instead of the round simply finished with a belt, and the difference is much more becoming to the majority of figures. The ruffle or frill does not extend all around the waist, but starts from the second dart or side seam ; it is generally cut on the bias, and is not more than four or five inches wide, but there are some put on the straight way of the goods and boxpleated in the back. Still another, and this the newest, has biasside pieces put on plain but hanging down fully a quarter of a yard ove.' the hips, and graduated to a small ruffle at tbe back. This is an evident desire to return to paniers, but that paniers will not be allowed this snrincr may be positively stated.?Harper's Bazar. ladies' waist. Fancy Persian velvet and red satin is here decorated with jet emboidery. The waist is fitted in front with single bust darts, and can be made with a seamless back, and closed at the left shoulder and underarm seam ; or with a French back and closed invisibly in QUE?DESIGNED BY MAT MANTON. the centre, as illustrated, or with the usual seamed back and closed in either preferred way. The neck is finished with a close-fitting collar, over which a stock of ribbon is tied in a large spreading bow, with ends at the back. Comfortable sleeve linings are faced in pointed outline, with red satin covered with jet embroidery, in veroaicilli pattern, full gathered puffs of velvet being arranged utyliehly at the top. Waists in this' style are chosen by ladies of good figure to display rich fabrics and handsome garniture of lace or passementerie, the style being often changed by the addition of dainty waist accessories now fashionable. ladies' waist. The quantity of 44-inch-wide material required to mike this waist for a Jady having a 32-inch bust measure is 2j yards; for a 36-inch size, 2} yards; for a 40-inch size, 2 J yards. flower-strewn gken"adtn*es. One of the most beautiful of the new materials for evening gowns is printed sun grenadine, it sens xor 81.25 a yard. The grenadine comes in all the delicate evening shades, and the printed floral design has the appearance of being hand painted. Roses are scattered over filmy cream background and stray violets are exquisite against a groundwork of faint green. THE NEW SLEEVE IN CLOTH. When made in cloth the new sleeve fits the arm, and the puff forming the epaulet is added. But in silk it can be cut all in one, with two puffs, the extra fullness down the arm being got rid of by narrow tucks going downward toward* the back and opening out into a frill over the hand. BLOUSE. Maine paid last year $1062 in boun ties for seals caught in the waters off the coast of the State. The bounty is for the benefit of the fishermen. It is proposed to raise $2,000,000 to restore the old palace of the popes at Avignon, now used as a French bar, racks. AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. (jUBSOILTNG a benefit. The benefits of snbsoiling are now being recognized by farmers generally, but the point is not sufficiently emphasized that it is best to subsoil - .. ? . . i iL only in the early tall. To attempt me work this spring will, in most cases, result unsatisfactorily. Of course it depends somewhat upon the soil, but experience to date jdecidedly favors fall subsoiling.?American Agriculturist. THE FLAT PEA. Thifi variety of pea, known as Lathy* rus sylvestris, or the wood pea, is a perennial plant and once sown remains in the soil for years, until it has exhausted itself. It is a new plant, very highly spoken of, and consequently the seed iB selling at an exorbitant price. It is not advisable to experiment with new things, especially at a great cost, rashly, and in this case it will ceitainly be wise to wait a while and let others do the experimenting. If it turns out all that it is said to be,"" the seed will soon be in the market at such reasonable prices that farmers can ufford to pay for it, which cannot f be done at present.?New York Times. WHEKE TO USE MANURE. It is very important, not only that all the stable manure made on the farm shall be UEed, but that it shall be put where it will do the greatest good. Most farmers who grow hoed crops largely use a great deal of manure on their corn and potato ground. In this way they get returns from it the 6ame year, and that is best, provided the soil is not rich enough to produce a full crop without it. But coarse manure, especially if applied late and plowed under, keeps the furrow above it too dry for either corn or potatoes, and sometimes does harm rather than good. On the other hand, if the season i? wet, the manure will make the potatoes rot. It is worse with the late viric.t.ipa vrhi/?h tnatnre nlowlv. Earlv potatoes will bear heavy manuring better. For this reason we would prefer to plant late potatoes on a clover pod made rich by previous manuring, and with no fertilizer except mineral applied in the liill. A mixture of potash in some form with super phosphate will tend to prevent rot, instead of causing it, as barnyard manure is sure to do. By applying the stable manure as made to newly seeded clover you will have each year a field of clover to be plowed for corn and potatoes, and will get better results from Ihe manure than as if it was applied directly to these crops.?Boston Cultivator. CTLTCRE OF HORSE RADISH, This root is a perennial, and is propagated by planting cuttings of the old roots, for when it is grown for market only the young roots are good for use; when older they are hollow and stringy and worthless. Besides, such ie the nature of the root that after it is mature it sends out a number of side roots or strings, which till the soil, and thus stock it with the very worst of weeds. The cuttings are made about four inches long and a quarter of an inch thick, and in planting them care is to be taken to set them top upward, or the root becomes shapeless and worthless. It is planted in drills eighteen inches apart, and eight inches apart in the drills, making about 12,000 plants to the acre, which, when well grown in rich soil, will yield five tons of the dressed roots. It is cultivated as carrots are, merely to keep down the weeds and the soil loose and mellow. It is harvested by digging up the roots, trimming them of side shoots, whioh are saved for new planting, and washing them and tying them in bundles of five or six. Bub it is mc6t commonly grated and bottled in vinegar and gold in that way to the grocery stores. A small rotary machine, with a grater, like that tor nutmegs, dth muca larger, is used to prepare the roots for sale. As ihe root is perennial, it is not injur3d by frost, and for home use a few roots may be kept in a corner of the garden, where they will stay for a lifetime. CACSE OF SEEDLING FAILURE. In observing the conditions under which woodlands produce timber trees, and the difficulties which surround the young plants, the wonder is that nature produces the thrifty growths so common in our forests. In referring to the progress of development Professor B. E. Fernow 6ays: "Like the wheat or corn plant the tree seeds require as conditions for sprouting sufficient moisture, warmth and air. Tree seeds, however, differ from grain in that most of the kinds lose their power of germination easily; wun tew exceptions (locuBt, pine, sprace), they cannot be kept for any length of time. The first leaves formed often differ essentially in 6hape from those of tho mature tree, which may cause their being confounded with other plants, weeds, etc. Tho little ceedlings of mauy, especially the coniferd, are quite delicate, and remain very small tbe first season ; they need, therefore, the protecting shade of mother trees, or artificial shading, and also protection against weeds. Tho amount of light or shade given requires careful regulation for some of them; too much light and heat will kill them, and so will too much shade. This accounts i for the failure of muny seedlings thnt spring op in ttie virgin lore^t." COBN-FODDEK FOU HOUSES. As tlicre are some who wish to know mere about feeding prepared cornfodder to hornet5, perhaps I can add a mite of information and also gain as much. We have fori this stover to horses j and other block almost exclusively the last three years, and eo far it has proved a decided success. If I had to tuke all hay or all stover I would prefer the latter, especially if the hay rns pure timothy and in the Btack. The first year the shocks were husked by hand anil the stover cut iuto hulf-inch pieces with a feed-cutter. This the horses ate very well, but were strongly inclined to be too loose in the bowels1, and some of the younger ones came near scouring. Sioce then we have used an old thrashing machine, which saves husking and strips out nearly all pith or inner part of the stalks. This portion seems to be disliked by everything it is fed to, and iB to left in the mangers to be thrown out, and there is no more trouble with m loose bowelp. I do not know that eatiDg as much of the pith as they were obliged to with cut stover caused the m' trouble. It may be that the short, eli block-like bits of stalk irritated their pt mouths enough to prevent sufficient {? mastication, which caused an indiges- nt tioD. But since, we have been thrash- ev ing the stalks they eat considerably 1,1 more of the hard outside than when it f0 was straight-cut and thrive better. 01 For working horses corn-fodder is In CAUOHCUUt AUCjr OCClii bU DbttUU ut*iu wdrk equally as well as when on hay th rationn, and its freedom from dust re makes it a sterling remedy for a horse with the "dust heaves." There is, however, a 6oft, fuzzy dust on the pt stalks, but as it is neither sharp nor gritty, like that found in hay, it iB ^ harmless beyond making the men in " the loft sneeze while mowing it away. As for horses dying eating stover, al we have not lost any yet nor had one sick. Just what it would do if thrown out from the shock without preparation I cannot say, but after it is thrashed it is just as safe as hay. It might do as well when run through a si corn L'<isker and shredder. We have never tried it. But if this cornstalk 5 disease is caused by a fungus on the ^ stalks I would prefer 3 thrashing ma> / hine an the blast, frofflv the fan and beatera would tend to blo*P it away s after being pounded out by the cylinder. I would not like to turn a horse to a full manger of this feed after he had been on a long continued hay ration, as tne gorge might kill him. The particles being flat, instead of round like those of hay. they are more liable to cause an impaction of the stomach when eaten hastily in large quantities. After the first or second feed there is no danger and he can be turned to any quantity. Try it and be convinced.? Breeders' Gazette. FARM AND GARDEN NOTE3. It is an established-fact that old hens will produce.stronger and more vigorous chicks than young ones. If you want to raise early chicks, it is time you began to separate your InnTr n r* flAff.l' T1 Ct UICCUIU^ UUU 4WVM 1*^ hens. Cat down all trees that have gone so far beyond their prime that they " have badly decayed trunks and only one or two broken branches. It is well to remember that the farmer who plants an orchard, a nut grove or a email timber tract now is "casting an anchor to windward." If .you expect to exhibit fowls next fall, you should get some eggs on the way soon, for the large pullets and cockerels generally take the preference. Be careful when trimming the old trees. It needs to be done most intelligently. Make the cuts smooth and cover them with paint, as it prevents rot. Give fowls a head of cabbage ocrtODlATIO llv fhfiv will leave nothing I but the stump. Raw turnips, boiled potatoes, etc., given whole will help to keep them busy. | Grain crops should never be planted among trees, as they deprive them of air to a very injurious extent. If no root crops are cultivated, the ground should be kept clean and mellow with the one-horse plow and cultivator. Eternal vigilance is the price oi w 3afety from fires on the part of those who are now using incubator and brooder lamps. Two points of great importance are: To give the lamps sufficient pure, cool air and to keep the burners and wicks clean. It is a mistake not to manure old orchards. Often this is the reason j they fail to give satisfaction when they reach full growth. If these trees appear healthy, and yet make no growth, very likely it is because they are hungry for fresh plant food and need to be manured. ? ? * - - * -*_ :? ?

Considering the earning power of " an acre, the orchard should be given credit for more worth than is usually the case. The yearly growth of fif.y apple trees upon an acre of ground is A worth $50, at a very low estimate. At t bearing age a good tree will make a good dividend upon such a value. A backet of warm water with towels m should always be taken to the stable " by the milkers. The milkers' hands jjjj should be carefully washed before in mjftn* and, if they become soiled, * afwPmilking each cow.
