m MM A Winter of Warm Tints. This blending of several tones of one material is reaching a pitch of per^ fection which the most fastidious artist might envy, zibeline cloth in the many new tones of warm pinks and reds lending itself to being treated in this manner with the most happy results. Fashion decrees that we shall be cheered up during our winter months, for everything tends toward warmth and richness in color, the new pinks and oranges being first favorites, while browns and greens are devnloping all sorts of new shades. An Indian Wife's Hongekoepiwgk The young Indian wife of today is clean, a fairly good cook and tidy with her bouse. She is not yet well versed tnt tho art of decoration, and red and green are predominating colors in all of her rooms, whether in harmony or not. ' The house has good furniture, bttt it is strangely arranged. The lounge is a favorite piece of furniture, and one sees it in every Indian house hold, always in the parlor. If the In dians have a piano or organ it goes in to the bedroom." The young buck's best saddle also goes into the parlor, and in many houses it is hung upon thewalL Red ribbons are tied to everything, even the tail of the cat, for no Indian household is complete without a cat and a dog.-Chicago . Chronicle. Plain Woman May Charin. Beauty is not given to every woman, but every one may be lovable, and even the plainest may be charming and at tractive. First of all, she must remember to cultivate that excellent thing in woman, a soft and gentle voice. To be sweet it must never be raised in anger or in argument, and peevishness must be kept out of it, when things go. wrong at home. Then her manner must be gentle and sympathetic; this manner must be no social veneer, but the expression of a really unselfish, gentle nature. What she is in heart and mind will In ?Ime. be expressed in her face in -8$te' of; the plain set of features, and "thuB she* may be charming and attrac tive, and as much loved and admired as those who were endowed by nature with the gift of beauty.-Home Notes. Walking Skirts. The fashion of short walking skirts is a boon, but does" not seem to have met with popular favor enough to have been adopted for the smarter cloth ?owns; these are ?till long enough t? trail considerably. The sheathlike skirt is much modified, and the cored sMr? with circular side and a little fulness just at the back is much alore of a favorite. There are skirts with one, two or three flounces, but the plain skirts with tremendous flare and trimmed with the flat trimmings are made in the handsomest materials. Velvet bands trim many gowns, while stitched bands of silk or satin still re main in fashion, and are used on lae handsomest of velvet gowns for the street and on the embroidered lace gowns for evening wear. Both rough and smooth cloths are used, the rough shaggy ones for morning, and made S?icrt, tte smooth, cloths f"? afternoon and rather smarter wear li'ciae long. Harper's Bazar. Trim ana Smart Walking Suit.*. The most useful day frocks are of I corduroy. A fascinating gray, with ! Russian pouched bodice and plain skirt, has just a touch of silver em- ! broidery on the little turn-down collar ? and breast pocket for a ticket or money j -or watch. Then a tweed suit of gray, i which merged upon black, was made of I coarse woollen canvas-a quite new | material. The "coming" skirt, short and full, and the long basque coat, opening to reveal a double-breasted waistcoat of amber and black pu one the pointed ends of which showed in picturesque fashion below the don Die breasted coat fronts, combined to form a whole of supreme workmanlike sim plicity of the finest art and stitchery. Strappings of the same canvas and thc antique silver buttons fastening the waistcoat were the sole ornamentation employed. After all the frills and fur belows, such a thorough tailor-snadrj was a delightful change. Another cor duroy of hunter's green had moleskin trimming and a knotted lemon-colored tie. Origin of Guipare TLHCP. The origin of guipure lace is wrapped in._m3r6t.ery. But there is a pretty tra cntiW-regaraing it current in tue vil plages where it is made. It is said that centuries ago a certain Venetian sailer returned from a voyage in eastern waters and brought to his betrothed, a worker in needle point, a bun? h of the beautiful and delicate coraline, which he told her was the lace made by mermaids living in tho coral caves of the Indian Eeas. "Pretty as it is," said the maid, "I will make something far prettier with my needle, and my bridal veil shall oe of the mermaid's lace." The sailor lad went oft on another long voyage, and during the months of his absence the girl worked day after day witjb. her needle forming white dots and tiny stars, and uniting them with deli cate "brides" till at last an exquisite scarf of guipure was produced, wliich was so beautiful that when she wore it as a bridal veil all Venice spoke of it . in> glowing terms of admiration, aj^| many noble and royal women became ' ' tire patrons of the young lace maker. -Chicago Tribune. New Stock?. Tie? an?l Belt*. The newest stocks for wearing with plain silk or cashmere blouses in the morning are made of soft satin, with deep stock neckband, inlet with trans parent squares or diamonds of lace, and two square ends, similarly inlet with lace, brought from behind, simply crossed In front, and fastened with a jewelled pin: There are some smart ties, too. in black and white tambour lace, with scalloped edges, which are tieti'stock-fashion aiound tho neck, the ends passed through an enamel and paste marquise ring, and then left to hang loose. . - There are a great many novelties in belts, for a belt is a most important adjunct to the successful set of a .blouse nowadays; one of the newest is formed of three or more narrow strands ot elastic webbing, studded with small steel or jet points, all radi ating from a long narrow ornament in the centre of the back, and merging into a one-inch wide band toward the front,"where "it is fastened by an orna mental clasp. Another good shape is a single strand of studded silk elasti.-. with a peculiarly shaped fastening In front, like a heart stretched out lido? ways, so as to give the ail-iapoi'tgnt j long-waisted effect, the point of the heart coming well below the waist line, whilst thc hollowed out portion of the upper part allows the blouse to pouch well over in front; this is a most commendable belt. Another good kind is like a Swiss belt, but the points are reversed-the bone at the back coming well up into the centre of the back, the lower end stopping short at the waist line, whilst with tVi? bone in front the top end billy commences at the waist line, and the lower end points deeply downward. Costly Gowns or Indian Dc", lei. The Oklahoma Indian women aro not the most beautiful creatures in exist ence, yet "Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Many women of the Kiowa, Comanche, Ara pahoe and Ponca tribes have drisses costing from ?750 to $1500 apiece. They are not made in what we should call the latest styles; the decorations are what count. The squaw's money is nearly aH spent in purchasing costly ornaments for their clothing. These ornaments are in the shape of jewelry and pre cious stones, elk teeth and pearls. It is nothing out of the common to seo an Indian girl walking around over her reservation with $500 worth of elk teeth tied to her dress in decorative style. Again, a two-carat diamond is no curiosity to these dinky belles. Most of the dresses are made from soft buckskin, lined with silk Gr satin. Red satin is a great favorite for dress lining and shirt waists among the In dian women. Yellow silk is another cf their favorites, but violet was tha prevailing color this year.-Chicago Chronicle;, Ono Woman Cobbler. There is a woman cobbler at Grand Rapids, Mich. She is the only woman working at that trade in the state, and for all she has heard, in the country, though it's a good trade, she says. She would almost as soon peg new coles on a pair of wornout shoes or patch a pair of uppers as play th? piano, and she can do both, and. ac cording to the testimony of her neigh bors, do beth well. Many girls and women are employed in shoe factories to do certain parta di the work where shoes are made by ma chinery, but Mrs. Harmer isn't that kind of shoe operator. She can and does do all the work of a skilled cob bler from the stitching of a split >eam in a woman's kid shoe to the pegging of a sole ott ? cowhide boot. She is every bit at good a cobbler as her husband, as he proudly admits, and he learned the trade when he was a boy, from his father. Husband and wife work side by side at the same work bench and share ?ae work equally. He started business 10 years ago, and worked so well that hi had to hire a bigger store and needed help-. It wasn't competent help that he got at first, and that's how his wife hap pened to turn to cobbling. She didn't need to do it. but she wanted to ahc\ she keeps it up. bee?usf she likes ii and ieels proud bf helping her husband provide for the family and build up his business. They make up a specialty of con structing shoes for deformed persons and that pays well. She isn't yet 30, this woman cobbler and she is aood to look at. She has three bright chil dren, and her home lellccts the domes tic happiness of the family. Deceptive I.itce Imitation*. "Without being conceited^ i think i know more about lace than most peo ple," Baid a woman o? taste recently, "but the imitations that are made now adays would deceive the very elect. I frankly confess that it is impossible for me to detect the difference, unless I see the true and the false in direct comparison, and even then, unless I am on the lookout for the deception. I am not able to tell which is which. "Just to show hov: little people < cally know about lace. I will tell you what happened to me a short time ago. 1 have a stomacher of old Venetian rose point, which has boen exhibited in loan collections as a rare specimen several times, and this winter I wanted to use it cn a black velvet gown, but had nothing that seemed appropriais to use on thc sleeves, and the skirt. 'Why don't you match it at S.'s?' said my niece, who overheard the discussion. I fairly gasped! 'Match my old rose point!' I exclaimed. 'Yes,' she an swered calmly. 'I am almost sure that I saw that pattern there the other ; day.' So, half out ct curiosity and i half because I really needed thc trim- ' ming, I went to the shop next day, and found that she was quite right. The pattern was almost similar, and the imitation wonderful, so I bought a suf - ficient quantity to trim the gown hand Fomely, and took it to my dressmaker. The result was PO good that- I really felt quite ashamed to wear it. particu larly as one of the best judges of lace in New York came up to me and ex claimed: -My dear Mrs. S.. you are wearing a fortune on your back to night. I have seen the stomacher be- I fore, but had no idea that you owned so much of that magnificent bec!" Now, what was I to say! I could not tell such a connoisseur to her face that she had taken an imitation lace bought at S.'s the week before for priceless antique, so I simp'.y smiled and made no reply.1'-New York Trib- j une. In veiling, thc latest is a white ground with large black and white j spots. Narrow black velvet ribbon is much I used for trimming simple evening gowns. A novel hat imported from Part's is made of black caracul with brim facing of white chrysanthemums. Taffeta glace, the old glace silk with ' a softer finish, will be much used for I evening gowns. White and gray is a favored com bination in Paris, and also that char acteristically Frenchy combination, j pale blue and pale pink. Mousseline brilliante is a slightly j thicker type of chiffon with a glisten ing surface, and particularly effective j for ruches, frills and trimmings. Fur tails appear as ornament.* on I garments not otherwise trimmed with : fur.

Bohe meal from raw bone is much Superior to bone that has been steamed or boiled, as the raw bone contains more nitrogen. When sul phuric acid is used to convert bone into superphosphate the cost of the acid is a factor and the proportion of phosphoric acid in superphos phate is also less than in bone, but is soluble, however. The value of a fer tilizer depends as much upon Ita avail ability as upon the plant food con tained The reeding of Cows. The feeding of cows under all con ditions requires more or less skill, and is not a routine daily practice to be followed without regard to results. Some f?rmers feed all cows alike, without regard to circumstances. When good cows are not yielding milk they are more liable to become fat than when in full flow of milk. Care ful feeding i's also necessary for a dry cow that is expected soon to come in. When a cow is giving milk, and is also highly fed, her system i* kept at a high tensitih. If she is dry for a ?Vw weeks this tension should be slackened, and she should not be fed more than just enough to keep her in good condition. All fattening foods should be withheld and the cow given roots, clover hay, ensilage and grass if the pasture can bc used. Such foods as bran, middlings, oats and a small allowance of linseed meal may be given. The object should be to avoid making the animal fat, as the result may be milk fever. Egg* by tho round, There has been much talk about aeW ing eggs by the pound. Irt and around some bf our larger cities there are many sold in that way. but they are not sold in the shell. Cracked eggs and the larger ones amor.s.the dirty eggs, if fresh, are broken out, arid thc white and yolk well beaten together. Some packers use a churn to thor oughly mix them, which is important, as if they are put up just as they come from the shell, the yolk becomes dry and mealy. They are then frozen solid and ?ept in cold storage until wanted. They are packed in tins of from ten to forty pounds each, and of course the demand for them comes principally from thc bakers for cakes and similar purposes. It is said that a pound of the frozen egg is equal to ten eggs of the average size. They will not keep sweet long after they have bfeeu thawed nut, BG that it is important that the user knows how many pounds he needs at one time, and opens no more than that. Packers who are careful to avoid nutting in any tainted or spotted eggs get about twelve to thirteen cerita ? pound, while other grades not as carefully selected have to be sold at ten cents. Value of Drainage. More than one farmer who has put tile or other underground drains in his fields, or a part of them, learned this year the value of drainage in a drought as well as in a wet season. It gives the circulation of air through the son that keeps it light and friable, BO that the roots penetrate through the soil, to find thc moisture they heed. The soil does not pack after a rain, partly owing to thc coming up of air from the tiles through the very channels that the water followed when it passed down to them. Some noticed that the rows, particularly cf corn, which were almost directly over the line of the drain, kept green longer and produced a belier cror than those which were between the drains, and the poorest rows br parts of the fteld were those farthest from the drain. Some say the yield was doubled in the close vicinity of the drains, in Which case wc should think the drains were too far apart for a very dry or a very wet seaton. But tins is not all the value of drainage. Land that is properly drained can be worked much earlier in the spring, and is much less affected by the frosts in spring or fall because it is dryer. Wheat and clover are not so often lifted, and the roots broken during the freezing and thaw ing of the winter, and is thus less liable to winter kill. Corr, ami Kori dor for VT-titer ."ceding. This year we used a corn harvester. Much oi the corn was down badly, lt did the work entirely satisfactorily. Its greatest advantage, however, was found in filling the silos. Fewer hands by five did the work In less time than we had ever before been able to accomplish it. The corn being bound in bundles was much easier loaded and unloaded. We should now no more think of filling the silos without the help of the binder than of cutting wheat with a cradle. Another short cut with the corn crop we learned last year was to run the shock corn through an ordinary wheat separator. Thus the corn was shelled and thc fodder shredded all at one handling Next to patting the crop into the silo, with us this is tho most economical and satisfactory method of caring for it. We had not the least trouble in saving cither corn or fodder last year, bat they were very dry when threshed. This year we pro pose doing thc work earlier and mixing oats with thc grain und straw with the fodder. With this precaution wc shall put 300 bushels in a bin. We run thc fodder into the brim. The machine expense was only four cents a bushel. Those who have tried it say the corn does not keep well into the following summer. Wo .chall husk enough for next summer feeding. Dr. H. P. Miller, in New England Homestead. Overcoats for tho Hees. "Overcoats" for each hive of bees cost about a trifle. These are called j winter cases by the manufacturers, ! and may be bought for a minali sum. J They are cut out ready to put to gether, and when thus shipped in th* fiat the freight is very low. We can still get something cheaper if wc caro i to work out ihc cheapest plan, and can i buy boxes of about thc right size at j our neighboring stores that dry good:? and groceries have been shipped in. I It matters not only for looks, whether they are all one size cr not. But they must be large enough lo cover the < hive and come down on thc ground or sunk a little in the ground. Thens j are always many good tight boxes, that are made of matched lumber, I that aro absolutely tight, anti we want I no cracks for thc snow and wind to blow through. The hives should be set down close to the ground preparatory to receiving 1 these boxes, and of course all tho j upper stories and supers must be ' removed, so that a bcx say fourteen I or fifteen inches deep will answer. After malting these boxes absolutely tight except one side, turn it down over the hive bottom up, fitting it closely to the ground, and cutting an entrance just opposite the entrance In the hive. This entrance must be fixed nicely and conveniently for the bees to come out and pass in at their pleasure, and need not be very large; an inch or inch and a half hole will answer. Fix an alighting board in front a foot wide, as a board is better than the earth banked up, for it will warm up and dry off better than the ground. With this arrangement we do not use any chan" cushions, or chaff pack ing anywhere, but close the hive up lightly with the ordinary lid that Is* longs to it. Chaff cpshions and chaff packing gb with the regular chaff hive, and perhaps the chaff hive sys tem is the most complete method of wintering bees out doors, but it is not practiced to such extent as formerly, owing to the expense cf such hives.

The most prominent symp tom is an itchiness of the skin com pelling the sheep to rub, scratch or bite itself whenever possible. It will scratch and kick itself with its hind feet, thus destroying the wool wher ever the feet can reach. It will also bite itself, and will become extremely restless, more particularly at night, preventing the animal from resting and ni3ke it nervous and irritable. The treatment of scab is a very simple matter, if taken in the start before there is much irritation of the skin. The parasite does not penetrate the skin, like those producing mange in the horse and dog. The parasites producing scab in sheep live on the surface, like lice, so most any of thc ordinary dips applied to them will come in contact with the parasites and kill tr.em, but may not kill the eggs, which will hatch out in from ten days to two weeks, when the ap plication mest be repeated. If the dis ease has been allowed to become chronic, then there will be scabs formed so that enough parasites will get under and not come in contact v.'ith the medicine, and they will still live to perpetuate their kind. In order to treat scab successfully the wool should all be clipped off, so as to expose the skin as much as possible to the air. Like mange in thc horse, j the diseased animal should be separ ated from the well and should be well fed, io ouild up the physical strength as quickly as possible, as it ls a well known face that parasitic life lives ; at the expense Of physical life. Build up thc physical strength, and the body offers greater resistance to parasitic life. After thc animals have been dipped they should not he turned into pas ! lures where they were while suffering from the disease. The parasite is not long lived, consequently animals kept out of an infected pasture for a couple of months can then be safely turned in again.-Dr. William McLean. State Veterinarian of Oregon, before the ' Northwest Wool Growers' Association rolaloe* foi- I'rnflti The difficulty of raising good pota toes is due as much to the sou, seed and climate as to any method of cuF lure, and it is often useless for farmers in one section of the country to at tempt to compete witn those in mor<* favorable places to raise taney pota toes. Yet I believe it is only the fancy stock that pays. Ordinary potatoes do not pay any more than ordinary yields of a crop prove profitable. We must be able to raise large, fancy potatoes i and extra large crops, to make thia business pay. Then, indeed, we havti a specialty that one can depend ofl to prove very profitable. As I said at thc beginning, potatoes are largely a matter of location, cli mate ano seil. If these are not natur ally supplied, I consider it profitless work to attempt to raise these prod uc?s for commercial purposes. It is far netter lo devote the time and attention to other farm crops. But supposing these to be supplied. It ls then only necessary to study the most approved methods of potato culture to find success. The first essential is to seo what the market demands. So called fancy potatoes are always of ? fair uniform sb:c. The abnormally large potato is neither 'profitable to mise, nor in great demand. It takes too icng to cook it, and housekeepers do not want it. A moderate size and uniform throughout is the most desira ble crop that we can desire. Plants that yieid heavily of such potatoes are the best for commercial uses. Next to size the color and condition of the skin should be considered. The delicately pink-tinted potato is the one that attracts attention, and invaria bly receives the prize. To obain this the seed must first i<e selected with that in view. If ono can give the I potatoes thc right soil and fertilizer this tendency to a thin, pink-tinted skin will became emphasized. Un doubtedly both the appearance and quality of thc potatoes are greatly influenced by the soil and fertilizers. Home soils produce fine commercial potatoes without much effort on the part of the farmer. The potatoes require particularly an evenly balanced fertilizer of nitro gen, sulphate of potash and phos phoric acid. This should be supplied in the proportion of about four per cent, of the first, eighteen, per cent, of the second and six per cent, of the third. This fertilizer is strong enough however, at first to burn the young sprouts of the seed, and consequently it must be put in thc trench or hill long enough before planting to permit it to become dissolved and chemically mixed with the soil. In any case the fertilizer should be mixed with thc ? soil so that it will not come in direct I contact with thc potatoes. A light ? soil with plenty of the right fertilizer ? will keep the potatoes from growing i muddy and soggy in appearance, and j Ungo it with the bright pink color that is so much desired by housewives and marketmen.-W. 0.

Its central factor was the generation of heat, due to the contraction of the mass from an original enormous but diffused nebula Horse chestnuts contain about 27 per cent, of albumen, this remarkable proportion being greater than is found ! in any cultivated plants,, but their j bitter taste, due to thc presence of j about ten per cent, of bitter rosin, has ! condemned thom as unfit ior food, j By extracting the bitter principle, j Fl?gge, of Hanover, claims to have j made useful another waste materia!, i After partial roasting to loosen the ? shells, the kernels aro removed and .pulverized and the powder is placed in a tight percolator with alcohol for about a week. To extract the bitter 1 completely it may bc necessary to re place the fluid with fresh solvent. Thc ? alcohol dissolves out the rosin, leaving ; a pleasant and nutritious meal, which . contains all the albumen aud starch of ? the chestnuts, and is a valuable food. ! Prevention o? Typhoid Fever. Typhoid fever, being a disease that j always requires thc personal attend- i ance cf a physician, may be properly referred tu iii a paper for Compan ion readers only from the point of view of prevention. It is well known that typhoid fever j is a water-borne disease, and is com monly taken into thc system in drink- J ing water which has become contain- i ?nated from Hie excreta of persons : suffering from the disesse. Freezing ! docs not in any way impair the vital ity of the bacillus of typhoid, so that 1 lee from a river or pond may convey the disease to consumers hundreds of j miles, perhaps, from the source of in fection. Milk has more than once been the means of conveying the disease. For tunately most milk dealers are aware ; of the necessity of cleanliness in the ! fcgnjrai-ation of milk for shipment. In j ^nost modern dairies the bottles.before being filled, are subjected to the ster ilizing effects of steam. Epidemics of typhoid fever traced to dairies have in most cases b i due to the bottles having been wa ' id with water from an infected well ?r pond. Oysters that I ive been imbedded in bodies of wa r which receive the contents of sew. .age pipes have like wise been the means of conveying ty phoid lever. Only oysters eaten raw or on the half shell can carry infec tion to the consumer, since cooking destroys the bacillus. Meaning In tie itldruMM*. Ma.*, y uncivilized people express age, position and married or single state by the way they dress their looks. After all. when ene comes to think of i?, the idea ls just as practical as the wearing of a golden band on' ones finger. The wedding ring is not always an evidence Itere, for a lady is ofttimes gloved., and while some mar ried mon wear tho circlet in England and on the continent, others do net; and, again, many bachelors sport thc very ring that should be used to pro claim the wedded slate. But thc Zulu woman is reaily more practical, for a first glanc1 at her coiffure assures thc observer whether she is maid or wife. The cone shaped erection is the legi ti male symbol of lier state of wlfehood, and. indeed, cannot be legally worn lill the marriage rites are dully com pleted. Save for this all-important cone the bride's head \s closely shaved, an assegai b"ing used to perform this delicate operation.-Cassell's Maga zine. Korean Literal n re. Korean literature is not very entic ing, as it consists mainly of "Chinese classics, the writings ol' Confucius or stories cf Buddha, and amatory verses which when translated by thc missionaries into decorous English lose what little merit they possess and are lest in the commonplace. Love is a potent factor in Korean homes, and although divorce is known there, as in more civilized countries, it is looked upon as a misfortune and disgrace. The people aro naturally virtuous, simple in their lastes. like children, and preferring by natural selection goodness to vice. Th? iVlmmtpliore*.* Height.

That fate is most mysterious in its ivorkings never was Illustrated more forcibly than in an incident which oe curred during the great survey of the caters about the Golden Gate in 1895. Tho coast survey steamer was tak ing soundings in the beautiful Bonita ; Channel, when the heavy lead sudden ly struck a hitherto unknown rock. lt was in the very center of the water bay, and only eighteen feet of water swirled over its jagged edges at low Lide. Dangerous as it was to navigation, no vessel during tho many years that Lhe channel had been open had ever struck it. Immediately upon its dis covery thc survey officials steamed back in the bay to warn the Light house Department of its presence, and fo order a shifting of the channel buoy nt once. The trip consumed twelve hours. When they returned the four-masted sailing ship Centissima, just in from the Orient, was chafing her keel to pieces on the newly-discovered ob struction. On the hydrographie charts today tho "Centissima rock" appears in the Bonita Channel, marked'by a red can danger buoy. SOFTENED. Jester-Don't you see the point to my joke?
