Pasture Grass in Porio Rico. Several well known varieties of pas ture grass grow well in Porto Rico, Guinea grass, Pars grass and gram ia among others. The first does not require a rich soil, but flourishes in sandy soil, high on the slopes of the hills, without much regard whether or not it is a well-watered region. Cut and chopped, it makes an excel lent green fodder. Para grass re quires better land and lower, and is consequently selected for those places where there is an alluvial soil to give richness. Such a pasture usually oc cupies meadow land along the streams. Gramma requires less rich ness than does the Para grass. and will do well in similar soil to that where the Guinea grass flourlsh-: Para grass makes fat rapidly, but the beef cattle fattened on it do not weigh as much, for the same apparent size, as do those fattened on the other Dasture. NERVOUS DEPRESSION. [A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.] A woman with the blues is a very un comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy anid frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as " the blues," nearly always, with wo men, results from diseased organs of generation. it is a source of wonder' that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesnt under stand her condition should. write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkhiam for her advice. Her advice is thorough com mon sense. and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT, 'Westphalia, Kansas, as told irthe fol lowing letter: " DEAB This. PINKrLAM:-I have su! fered for aver two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six mon ths. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. A fter using the treatment . which you advised for~ a short time, that terrible flow stopped. "I am now -gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten years. I wish to say to all distres.sed, suffer ing women, do not suffer l onger, when there is one so kind and willing to atid you." Lydia E.

Oh, what so true, so pure, so good, As love and pride of motherhood? The tender watching and the care, That have no likeness anywhere? What men most bold would fear to do A mother's heart will carry through. Love Is too strong to think on death, A child is more than living breath. A mother's love is fond and wise, Her soui is in her baby' eyes; Q To her the laugh that shakes its throat Is sweeter than the thrush's note. Her life is in the child she bears, Nor withers with the waste of years; Though promise may in failure die, 'Tis love that makes her weep and sigh. Her love, indeed, outlives her days. Her children treasure up her praise; And, though no more they see her face, 11er name retains its native grace. -New York World. WINTER HATS IN FULL FEATHER. Strange Combinatiom of Plumage q Fea ture of New XMilunery. Winter hats are literally out in full feather, since feathers of every known, and of many' heretofere unknown, variety have come out at the top of the list in hat trimm' . There are the usual extremes and exaggerations of fashion, with many pretty modifica tions, altogether charming and becom ing. Toques are larger, and nearly all of them turn up in front with a glitter ing buckle or a bright rosette, with osprey feathers. The crowns are often in beefeater shape, or soft velvet or silk, embroidered all over with scrolls of narrow ribbon or worked with steel or jet on net or horsehair. Large hats with a brim, both medium and extreme in size, figure largely iA the variety, with some French bonnets very odd in shape; which vill hardly find favor. One is sort of scoop or poke shape, very short in the back, and suited only to the Madonna face. It is fully decorated with feathers, as is the case with all hats this season. There are many novelties in feathers, all sorts and kinds of made varieties, and what are called trimmed feathers. Ostrich plumes tipped with spots of chenille are one specimen, and spotted effects of all kinds are very much used. The plumage of the gninea fowl is a special feature of trimming, both dyed and in its natural color, be ing used sometimes as an edging for brightly colored wings. Quills of every kind and color, pheasants' plumage, and Mercury wings in all light and dark shades are employed. Large birds with four wings, real butterflies on bustard quills, and osprey breast feathers with butterfies are among the novelties. Feathers ai e not the whole millinery ;hw, however, varied as they are, for there are lovely velvet plumes in soft, rich. purple reds, pretty combinations of lace and fur and tulle and fur, whichI is decidedly new. Conflicting suggestions as to the kind of hat to buy and the special variety which will be most popular are as usual very freely given, but it is impossible to settle on any one shape. aexng so many. The hat that turns back from the face is both becoming~ and striking in effect, but there are quite as many hats that tilt down over. the eyes. The most becoming hat is the one to choose whatever the shape may be. You are told that all-blackj hats are not the thing, that bright colors are to be very much worn; but if you put a bright rosette or a showy rhinestone buckle on your black hat it will pass muster all the same. The. color used must be bright and decided to be effective, and not one of the neutral tints or soft dull reds which' are used) for the entire hat of velvet. Tulle is combined very prettily with velvet, being used in tiny gathered ruches on the edge of the brim and. forming some scroll design all over the ersyn. It matches the velvet in! color, or may be in a lighter or darker shade. One stylish hat in black vel vet has a twist of white silk fastened with a handsome rhinestone buckle around the crown, which is embroid ered with white baby ribbon, and two~ white ostrich feathers for a finish. Colored felt hats, with leathers and trimming to match are very stylish. Felt hats are considered especially smart this season for wear with tailor made gowns, and it is said that white felt hats are coming into favor. A shape in felt which is very odd has a low, soft crown and a bowl-shaped brim turning down to meet the hair directly in the back, where velvet rosettes fill in either side. High puffs of velvet and shot taffeta trim the front, with one feather in the middle turning toward the back.-New York Sun. Wvo:n~an's Part in the Spanish War. At every camp in the United States where troops were being mobilized women could be seen daily in their visits of ministration to the soldiers. Every hospital in the land has been the recipient of bounties, the resultof women's work. It is not too much to say that the women of the nation have farnished a large per cent. of the hos pital supplies, and that, too, after making a hard fight to be allowed to do so, after becoming impatient at the tardy and incomplete provision by the Government for the rapidly multiply ing patients. Days and weeks were spent in importuning the authorities for atdmission before the indispensable trained female nurses or saintly Sis ters of Mercy and Charity were al lowed in the hosnitals. The inade quate corps of nurses of the regular army of twenty-five thousand men were deemed sufficient in the face of the increase to two hundred thousand, including the volunteer regiments, not one of which brought a man titted or desiring to be detailed in the hos-. pital service, and this with a register: of thousands of names of efficient, eligible women impatient to enlis~t for the alarming fatalities and a threat ened epidemic of t-yphoid and other fevers, yielded and placed in the hands of the Executive Committee of the Daughters of the .rmerican Revo lation the power to appoint trained nurses in the various army hospitals. In the mean time, fortunately for the sailors and soldiers of the nation, through the Red Cross Society and in the private and public hospitals of the cities, many of our sick and wounded were receiving the best of care and the benefit of modern appliance3 and methods of treating medical and surgical patients. Women-God bless them! from the highest to the lowest walks of life-were everywhere busy with their labors of love and mercy. Hospital ships shared in the contribu tions of women and societies of womz en. Mrs. L. Z. Leiter's munificent gift of a hospital at Chickamauga has been the greatest boon to the army stationed on that historical ground. And not alone were the nation's de fenders the objects of their humanity and tenderness. Their families came in for a large share on the score of their dependence upon those who had gone in the service of their country. Mrs. John A. Logan, in Harper's Ba zar. One or Chicago's Cierer Women. One of the most widely known, most generally consulted and busiest wom en in Chicago is Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson. In 1870, at Philade!phia, Dr. Stevenson was admitted tv the American Medical Association, the first woman ever so honored. Since then she has steadily followed her profession with the exception of two years, which she gave up to work in the Chicago Woman's Club, of which she was President during the World's Fair. Dr. Stevenson is a widow, and took up her work after her husband's death. She had splendid opportunity for study. During a visit to Europe she met Professor Huxley, and studied with him for two years. She now holds the chair of obstetrics in the Woman's Medical College of the Northwertern University, ani is PreZident and founder of the Chicago Maternity Hospital, organized a little over a year ago. This hospital is one of the doctor's hobbies. It has two unique features: On is that patients are not permitted to leave until the doctor feels assured they are perfectly well and strong; the other feature is the training of nursery maids. Young women, preferably between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, are thor oughly taught to care for babies. The. course is for six months, during which time instructic a is given in the proper dressing and feeding of infants and small children; and the hygiene neces sary to properly nurse the babies. Thus has been opened a new profes sion for young women, and Dr. Stevenson says that there are fifty ap plications for these trained children nurses to one that can be filled. Dr. Stevenson is a tall, stately wom n, with almost white hair. She is gentle and courteons to strangers, though never effusive. She was in strumental in founding the Illinois Training School, the first of its kind in the West, and, altogether, is a womn an that women delight to honor s and one (whomn men would be proud to know.-New York Mail and Express. Theo Styie in Embroidery. The newest embroidery is done with the narrowest and lightest of ribbons. his style is exceedingly fine and ainty, and demands most minute work. Empire designs are used, and are very efrcctive on a centre of heavy silk or~ satig. Spangles may be used in connection with the ribbon and give most brilliant effects. Fashion and Fan~cy. Rlepped silks of brilliant lustre are meeting with great success this sea soD. A curious novelty originating in Paris is a striped cloth gown with hecked sleeves. The covert coats in fashion are very plain, the revers small, the sleeves cat-sh aped, and the buttons on an in. risible fly. Beautiful materials are found for bonnet crowns, spangled and set with mock jewels and worked in gold and silver cord. Handsome figated taffetas are to be found now wvith the small figures woven in the taffeta in black and larger colored figures. The newest toques are considerably larger in contour, and velvet is the favorite material for the popular head coverings in two distinctshades of one olor. Some of the crystal buttons to be seen are cut like diamonds, set into a deep gold framework, and are very briiant. Other pretty buttons of this style arc ball shaped. A pretty sleeve, which is tucked, nearly half way down the elbow, has the tucks turned up instead of down. t has that much-desired qnality of be ing "som'ething different." Matalasses in black and colors, vel et with fancy stripes, tucked,braided, orded and shirred materials, with an endless variety in serges and home spans,are am'ong the lezading materials for costumes. One of the best skirts of the season has the peluim overdress cut circular and shaped in deep points at the bot tom. It fits the hips closely without so much as a plait or fulness of any sort at any point around the waist. One of the most ceeant costumes of the season consists of a skirt and coati f rich black satin, worni with a vest made oi ivory-white broadcloth, elaborately braided and embroided in' white. The vest has a high, straight c)llar and a satin tie i-: worn outside ?R~CAuT1ONS 0ff ISB *MWmU14 Captain Sigsbee Says that Every Care Was Taken of the Vessel at favana. Captain Slgsbee, in his "Personal Narrative of the Maine," in the Ceu tury, says of his efforts to guard the vessel when she lay in Havana-har bor: Every precaution that could be taken against Injury orF treachery Was taken on board the Maine, so far as could be permitted under the re strictions of my orders requiring me to make a friendly visit. If one, when dining with a friend at his home were to test the dishes for poison, he would not be making a friendly vis it. The harbor could 'not be dragged without giving offense; it could not be patrolled by our own picket-boats at night, nor could the search-lights be kept going; but every internal pre caution was exercised that the situa tion suggested. There were sentries on the forecastle aind poop, quarter master and signal-boy on the bridge, and a second signal-boy on the poop, all of whom were charged with tho necessity for a- careful lookout. The corporal of the guard was specially Instructed as to the port gangway, and the officer of the deck and the quartermaster as to the starboard gangway. Instead of the usual anchor-watch, a quarter-watch was kept .on deck at nighf. The sentries were supplied with ammunition; a number of rounds in the pilot-house and in the spare captain's pantry . - inside the af ter-superstructure. An additional sup ply of shells wag kept at hand for the six-inch guns. In orler to be pre pared more completely to work the hydraulic mechanism of the turrets, steam was kept up on tvo boilers In stead of one; special instructions were given to watch all the details of th3 hydraulic gear and tp report defects. The officer ofeh6 eewas charged by me to-iake detailed r-fris, even in minor matters, acting on the sus picion that we might be in an un friendly harbor. I_ personally in structed the master-at-arms and the orderly sergeant to keep a carefid eye on every visitor that came *on board, and to charge their'6wn sonb ordinates to the same purpose. I in structed them to follow visitors about at a proper distance whenever the ship was visited below; they were carefully to watch for any packages that might be laid :-cown or left by visitors, on the -supposition that dy namite or other high explosives mig'2t be used. They were also required to inspect the routes over which visitors had passed. The officer In charge of the marine guard was required to make at least two visits during the night to the various poqts of tee ves sel. The purport of my own orders and Instructions was that we should consider the Maine -in a position de manding extreme vigilanch, and re quiring a well-sustained routine both by aay and night liow to Waik. In the Literary Digest appears a translation of a review of "Comment on Marche" ("How We Walk"), the latest book on the subject by Messrs. Regnault and Raouli. In this work It is claimed that we have been wrongly educated in walking, and that the erect posture and firm step that we have been led to tbelieve were evi dences of health and strength arc con ventional a f vicious. M. Marcy, who wrote the introduction to the volume, says that there is a style of .walking that enable's one, without excessive fatigue, to go distances of from twen ty to twenty-five miles in a third of the time usually reuired. This may be accomplished 'by walking with thle knees' bent and thc body inclined for ward, z method which has been oh sred in professional pedestrians, montaineers, peasants, hunters, and soldiers fatigued by long marches. In not adopting this methd, It is claimed that, as with all the other acts of life, we remain slaves of conventIonal esthetics. aldi-Cold Ea sig? Are you. frequently hoarse?

Rame of our War. No offiela designatlon has, so fat as I know, been given to the recent and present and possibly future dis turbance between the United States and Spain on account of Cuba. It is generally spoken of as "The War with Spain." Our wars have been the "War of the Revolution." "The War of 812,1" the "Mexican War" and the "Civil War." The last named has also been designated as the "War of Secession," "War of the Rebelion," "War between the States."

The Japanese newspapers are rejoic ing over the invention by a native genius of a machiinig for rolling tea. The great cost of the production of tea lies in the labor. Each individual leaf -must be plucked from the plant and handled with the fingers several times before it can be sent to market. Therefore the industry of tea raising is unprofitable without cheap labor. and the deft fingers of women. At Summerville, S. C., a high quality of tea has been grown with great suc cess, cultivated and harvested by col ored girls at a small expense, judged from an American standard, but the women in China and Japan are paid from four to eight cents a day for twelve hours' labor and board them selves. If they should receive the wages of women factory hands in this country tea would cost four or five times as much as it does now. In Japan wages are rapidly advanc ing with the development of civiliza tion. In China and Ceylon they re main about the same, but the women of those countries will certainly follow the example of their sisters in Japan ns their intzlligence is cultivated. Therefore the invention of a tea nr:. chine Is as important to the great in ustry of those countries as the inven tion of the cotton gin was to. the outh. Inventive genius has been en gaged upon the problem for many years without being able to contrive any substitute for huinan fingers, but now it is claimed that thvy new ma chine is a success, and can manufac ture nearly a ton of tea In twenty Eour hours, with the labor of one man and a boy or a girl. This is equiva Lent to the work of a hundred women. A Chinese Permutation. A story which, if not true, is not badly told, appeaurs in The Boston Transript, to the effect that while the bark Cape City was at Hong Kong a Chinaman was engaged to paint the necessary name on each bow. He produced on one bow the legend "Capecity," without a space between the two words. Then he noted that the "y" was nearest to the ship's stern and remembering this fact, he afforded an excellent example of how severely logical his race can be, for in a ittle while he had painted on the other bow the striking permutaton.

At this season of the year the snipC are as plentiful in that vicinity as mosquitoes in trout time. The only drawback is that it is almost impo.s, sible to get out to the little pools where the snipe can always be found!, and gather them in after they have been shot. The Gardiner young man thought of the idea of taking a lair of snow-, shoes. He was laughed at by his companions, but when the i.unting grounds were reached the other gen tlemen had to be content with st.wd ing near the shore in the mud to their knees, while the fellow with the snow shoes was skipping over the treace erous mud shooting snipe right and left.
