Bat in a recent let ter to a London paper mention is made of the suicide of a female lawyer who had waited three years in vain for clients. Beference is also made to thirty-two women who passed examin ations as teachers, bukwere nnable to get places, as men are preferred for the high schools. The Recomlnjinee* oT Fur. What woman does not know the be- comiugness of fur on a Wild crisp day, when the eyes are brightened and the color of the cheeks heightened by the stiff, bracing air? Fur, if selected to suit the wearer and worn consistently, does more to lend youth and freshness to the face and general style than al most any other accessory of feminine dress, and the woman of forty-live who affects fnrs to harmonize with her general coloring of hair, skin and eyes can take many years from her usual appearance.—Woman’s Homo Com panion. New Trade For Women. A large firm of furniture removers in London have recently added to their staff a lady whose special busi ness it is to advise a newly removing householder concerning the disposi tion of his belongings. She takes all the responsibility about the placing of each chair, table and knickkunck. Tlie householder simply leaves his house one morning as usual, and returns at night to his new dwelling to hud all the furniture in its place, and everything inde scribably improved and homelike. The “adviser” has a most rehned taste, and this, added to the knack of being able to picture the look of a room with any possible arrangement of the contents, enables her to transform the most unpromising material into veritable “bowers of eas? ;*nd de light." Her fee (h&lf-a-guinea par room) in cludes three visits—to the house in order to view the furniture she is About to place—to the new residence to note the size and disposition of the “ one to see that her jpg nar^iad QUA hr themselves not to wear birds qjr feathers of any kind on their hats, this | is essentially a bird year, and the favorite of all the feathered tribe is the owl. To be strictly fashionable the head, wings and tail feathers of the birds must all be used on one hat,and some times these hats are very expensive.

Among the woollen materials most worn this teason is woollen poplin, plain or of various colors mixed, such as Sevres blue, indigo, navy blue, coffee color, beaver, beige, fougere green, etc. Another novelty is that of tissus- passementerie, which gives the effect of silk ribbons passed through a network of mohair. Tartan materials are .also made in mohair in small checks on a silk ground of the same colors. Another kind of meterial is a sort of diagonal, in whioh are mixed brilliant threads, which give a lustre to the stuff. Another tissue is a cloth with a black warp and colored weft, blue, red or brown, which produces a very pretty changing effect. Other materials worn are amazon cloth, chine cloth, covert coat cloth and whipcord. In the way of ornaments,I have seen applications of cloth of different colors, generally shaded, piped, braided and embroidered with small steel beads. Mohair braids are also laid on in carls, grouped or isolated and sewn along one edge or both edges. Lastly some very pretty embroider ies are made resembling lace cat up, laid on over a ground of gauze, that can bo sewn on the material, which prodnoes the effect of being embroid ered direct on the dress.—New York Herald.

This class of waste is confined mostly to the growers and the wholesale dealers in beans who contract for the crop just as winnowed, and do their own sorting and hand picking. Such waste cannot be ground, as there is too much foul stuff among it to make it healthy food. There are two ways by which it can be utilized, by feeding to sheep just as t it is, leaving it "to the instinct of tho animal to reject the rotten peas, or by feeding it to pips, in which case it re-; quires some manipulation. My first experience in utilizing bean? was with the hand-picked waste of tho wholesale grocers. Purchasing about twenty bushel of these at about twenty-five cents a bushel, I put the quantity needed for the next day’s feeding in . soak oyer night, the next day cooked ure together and reduce them j them with a quantity of beef scrap un til they were soft, and while the mass was scalding hot thickened it by stir ring in meal. I fed several pigs through the winter wholly- on this, with the exception of a daily throwing in of uncooked Hubbard squash.

Owls are the latest “trimmings” for women’s hats. From time immemorial tho owl has boon known as the bird of night, shrinking from the glare of snushino and finding the greatest com fort iu dark caves and the hollows of old trees, coming forth only at night, bnt now, under fashion’s latest de cree, this bird of darkness is iu evi dence on every side, and his broad, fiat face, small eyes and hooked beak surmount fresh, rosy, youthful faces aud form by contrast a strange frame for the female faces they adorn. Daring last summer a few ultra fashionable women had two or three groat owl heads crashed in among the wings and ribbons on their traveling hats, and from the very oddity of the idea the hats were striking and stylish. Not content with heads, fashion has now decreed that the whole bird shall adorn thp fall and winter sailors and toques. : In spite of the society formed to prevent the killing of birds for ora- menting millinery, and the thousands of signatnres affixed to the numerous petitions sent broadcast all over the country, in which women pledge mit female students. Lola M. Coulter, a fourteen-ycar- old girl, of Stockton, Cal., is an en gineer, and knows how to handle throttle as well as a man. She has made trips over some of the most diffi cult grades and curves in the West and has proved that she has a steady nerve and a keen eye. A professional woman who has to employ a young woman assistant says that one of her greatest troubles is that her assistants are constantly try ing to impress not only upon her, but upon her patients, that they are not accustomed to such employment, bat have been brought up to better things, though she is well aware of the fact that the young women have come from homes where there was neither culture nor money.

But though a good many loads were drawn into the garden, the addition of so much sand did less to make the gar den soil friable than did the good un derdrain which the farmer’s son after wards put under it.

Suod’y. NORTH. SOUTH. dona lo$ L’Ulizlne Waste Bean* and Peas. We seed dealers at the beginning of season have more or less of and peas on our hands, whose tage of vegetation is too low to them of any value for seed pur- while they are too good to away. These are usually util- ither by selling them to the men, who handle them as col percl makt pos thro ized grocei ored beans, or to the farmers to feed to sheep. In my own disposing of them I have usually had them ground and then fed to my cows and horses. As be^a are apt to cling to the mill stones ^so my miller tells me), they are gri^ind with two or three times their bulk of corn. My horses will not eat the bean meal, while the cows relish bpth bean and pea meal. Either of them is exceedingly rich feed, hav ing a larger proportion of the flesh forming constituent (protein) than corn, while peas are also valuable for fattening animals, as our Canadian neighbors well know, though inferior in this respect to corn. The fat made from peas is whiter in color than that from corn, as can be readily seen by comparing Canada fattened turkeys with those raised in the States. As a milk prodneer, bean meal is a great favorite with those dairymen who are so fortunate as to be able to obtain a supply of old beans at as low a figure as corn Bells at. Like all very rich foods, bean meal should be fed with discretion; a wise proportion, I incline to believe, is bat little more than can be'safely fed of cottonseed meal if the feeder intends to keep a good cow. There is another kind of bean and pea waste which I have been using more or less for the'^last forty years that I believe is but rarely used to the best advantage; indeed, iu many cases it is not used at all, but con signed to the dung heap. I refer to tbe waste from new beans and peas. That of which I have spoken previously is ihe waste caused by age, the peas aud beans being as sound as ever, but simply too old; that which I now speak of is the vtaste picked, riddled and winnowed out of them to make them ini condition to be sold as ' | beans nnless accompanied with other food, they always welcome peas. My way of preparing them is first to soak, or rather sink them in water, when the rotten ones rise to the sur face and are easily skimmed off. By pouring the peas into the water rather than water on to the peas, and in either case giving them a little stirring, I find I am able to secure a large pro portion of the Votton ones. After soak ing the peas twenty-four hours the water is drained off, and I boil them to a soft, pulpy condition. In the pea-growing countries I understand it is the practice to feed after they are soaked and swollen without cooking, but as the waste I am handling is old, and as I utilize heat that would other wise be wasted, I prefer to cook them. My hogs, which average 200 pounds live weight, eat heartily six quarts each of this waste, measured when dry daily, and grow like weeds, weighing considerably more than one of the same lot kept by my neighbor, who feeds his on the mixture of cornmeal and shorts. As the peas fed would otherwise be thrown on the dung heap, the cost of feeding them is merely the labor attending it.—J. J. H.

An Iowa boy recently passed through an experience whioh he will not forget if he lives to bo 100 years old. He is only five years old, and one day, when his father went to the wheat field to drive the harvester, he took him along and perched him on the high seat at his side. For a time all this was very inter esting, but presently tho little fellow grew tired and began to squirm aud complain. And then, just as his father was leaning over to look more closely at some of the machinery, off tumbled tho little fellow to the conveyor. He shrieked just cnce and his fa her tried vainly to stop the horses. Bnt before he could even slacken the speed the boy had been driven up through the elevator canvas with half a handle of wheat, the binding twine had twisted swiftly around his neck and legs and he was rolled ont on the wide carrier securely bound in a wheat handle. He was almost choked, and there was a tiny bit of skin torn from his shoul der, but otherwise he was unhurt when his father cat the string and helped him up again. But a worse frightened boy would have been hard to find.—Chicago Record. Condensed Schedule in Effect Aug. 1. 1897. SOUTHBOUND No. 35 No. 23 No. 53 A M PM P M Lv. Florence 8 00 Lv.
