Fans and Olom. A new wrinkle in gloves is that the long suede mosquetaires may mutch the tint of the frock exactly. More ' white than colored gloves ere worn, however, and more white slippers than tinted ones. But to match a faintly colored gown slippers sometimes hare the toe trimmed in color, with white lace or embroideries setting off the bow or rosette. All evening slippers are wonderfully fussy, and everything Is seen upon them, from a geuuine diamond buckle to a little vreatli ot pink rosebuds. Fans, be it said, to the shame of the makers of modes, are dally growing bigger. Some of the radiant Louis sort, with their superb paintings, are still small enough not to lose in loveliness; but <be fan of the moraept is njb-ostrtcb father affair, made in a set ~s*^Orm~or to open and close.

The Oevu of Liberty Satin. negligee eneets are oeconnng exceedingly popular this season and the idea is prevalent In many of the evening gowns and party frocks. Tea gowns are, of course, sort of negligees in themselves, but one which is the acme of fashion and displayed recently is of pink liberty satin, shirred several times at the waist as a substitute for the popular girdle. The skirt, which is long and graceful, is inserted with deep ecru lace thrice from hem to belt, and around the bottom is employed handsome lace ecru, making a most elaborate conception of the skirt. The waist is made with the "Dutch" neck and hag for a yoke the plain satin, shaped and fitted siroothlv across the shoulders. The lace then forms a sort of droop shoulder effect below this, and runs across the sleeves, which are puffed with a tightly-fitted cuff. The material is then shirred onto this lace. A pretty novelty which has been but lately introduced is a leaf-shaped affair of shirred lace, which is attached at the collar and falls below the waist line. It gives a finish to a gown and is especially adapted to this one in particular.?Newark Advertiser. Bright Red CoaU<No? Wont.

It is face4 with black cloth and has a stand-op military collar lined with the I . same. The sides of the cape and the k cuffs are set off by gold buttons, which \ are also med for fastening the doublem breasted^oat itself. The sleeves arc m gathered foil into black broadcloth | cuffs. Except in-very stormy weather this coat is turned above the bust line min the form of revers. and the contrast Jfretween the Wa^kand red is extremely Another novel coat is built of tani colored kersey, trimmed with etubroid> ery and braid, showing the popular brown shades mixed with gold. This j is built on long, loose sacque lines, i the back showing a broad double box pleat, from either side of which the , belt springs, while the front has int verted pleats running from shoulder . to hem. The garment has double sleeves, a tight-fitting undersleeve . with a heavily embroidered bell-shaped > cuff and the large angel sleeves which i fall over these are fastened on with ; a yoke empiecemeut over the shoulj ders. Their outside seam gives the effect of an inverted pleat. The braid and embroidery which run around the neck and down the front are set off , on either side by gold bullet-shaped buttons and the belt has a gold buckle r to match. Garment For Fashionable Woman. What might be termed a cape with ; sleeves is a garment which just now finds high favor with the middle-aged woman, because it can be worn over the high-sleeved blouse without iifc jurious effect on the undergarment/ 1 The wrap proper is pleated into a col lar-shaped neckpiece, which is com; 1 pletely hidden under embroideries. The sleeve and the coat being cut in one, the garment hangs in full folds | straight from the shoulder to a point well below the knee. Between each of the dart-shaped pleats are inserted ' embroidered motifs to match those ^ employed on the collar aud shaped neckpiece. The sleeves are gathered 1 into a large flat band of the embroid ery and the yoke effect is enhanced by the use of ribbon rosettes with long ends finished off with silk tassels. This model developed in hunter's green cloth, with gold and tan embroidery ! and tan-colored ribbons, was most ef1 feetive. Where the two-piece suit is used the ' long fur stole is employed to reduce J the tailored effect. As the season advances womcu seem to add more and more tails to these long stoles, and they now sweep the hem of the dress. Particularly with fox and sables, rows | of tails am set on at regular intervals until the front of the garment looks ; like a shower of fur pieces. Muffs go to extreme. They are either very flat, suggesting a great envelope, or they are very tkiy, the latter being built from rare lace combined with tinv fur tails and flowers. There Is no question regarding the revival of seal for next year, and wise virgins in the matter of fashions are jpicklng'up sealskin wraps included in the reduced garments, with the view of using them next year, if not to wear them this season. A wonderful importation from a London house shows a long ulster-like coat of seal, with immense shawl collar or sable. It is said that another combination which will be extremely popular is one that was common years ago, that of seal and beaver.?Newark Advertiser. Wonen as Rifle Experts. Ride shooting at a standard range promises to become a popular rfport among the fashionable women of Philadelphia, due to the example set by Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel during her recent visit She brought the idea from England, and it bears the stamp of royal approval. Society has therefore taken kindly to the sport, and dealers in firearms are being overwhelmed with inquiries regarding weights and kinds of rifles suitable for women. The secret of Mrs. Drexel's devotion to the sport of rifle shooting did not leak out until just after her departure, together with her husband and Lord vane xempesi. upon tut- reiuru m Mrs. Drexel and Lord Tempest from an extended tour of the West, a valet . was frequently seen about the hotel carrying three rifle cases, one of which was much smaller than the others. It was known that the rifle carrier was Mr. Drexel's valet, but nothing was definitely known of what was going on unjil Mrs. Norman Whitehouse, of New Tork, happened to send a long gossipy letter to a friend in this city in wliich she told of the fhterest she and Mrs. Drexel are taking in range shooting and how carefully they compare scores daily and the benefit they feel as a result of the outdoor exercise. It appears that Mrs. Drexel, while here, was coached on the sport by Lord Tempest. Each afternoon during her stay here Mrs. Drexel would journey with her husbaigl and Lord Tempest to the First Regiment range, near Essington, and before leaving she liad scored several bull's eyes; knew what the scorer meant by a "4 o'clock breeze." and had learned to manipulate the sights without jamming her shapely fingers. Meanwhile Mrs. Whitehouse was practicing at a ifange near Creedmoor. and the two society leaders exchanged daily letters telling of their successes. Mrs. Drexel tried every range from 100 to 1000 yards. Towards the last Mrs. Drexel induced several of her more intimate women friends to go to the range with her and try their luck, and thus the practice has been given a great impetus. .Tust before sailing from New York Mrs. Drexel and Mrs. Whitehouse were warmly congratulated upon their skill by Lord Tempest at a dinner party, and arrangements were suggested which will probably result in the formation of a shooting club made up of fashionable women of Philadelphia and New York.?Phila' delphia IjiQuirer.

If possible. a lipht, sandy loam that will not produce less than a bale of cotton to the acre. We like to have it turned in i early winter with a two-horse plow . # ti *?.. / ? A../1 tiff n.a I aim ionow in iui- luuun mivi mi iutt ; subsoil with n subsoil plow or a four; inch scooter 011 a single plow. I'y i doing this wo are able to hold the wiiv| tor rains as our potatoes suffer almost | every year by drought when not irri! ?af*l. At planting time we run a cutaway harrow over the land to thoroughly pulverize, and lay off rows with a sho! vol plow, three feet apart and four ? I five inches deep. For fertilizers we use the following: Acid phosphate 1-1 per cent.. .1000 lbs. Cottonseed meal (XX) lbs. Nitrate of soda 200 lbs. Muriate of potash 200 lbs. Use 1000 to 1500 pounds per acre hefore planting, thoroughly mixing in the furrow with a scooter plow or a cultivator set close. Mix thoroughly. This is important, as most eases of burning or injury to the seed can be attributed, I not so much to the amount of fertiliser used as to lack of thorough mixing. |\ If the land is lacking in humus (vog etnble matter), and was not in cowpeas the previous summer, we sometimes give the land a fair dressing of stable ( manure (fifteen two-horse loads per acre), which we thoroughly cut away into the top soil before breaking, which tends to pulverize aii lumps, and the soil more thoroughly pulverized than breaking. If the soil Is fairly well supplied with humus we would rather dispense with the stable manure, as it tends to encourage the scab fungus. Do not use cottonseed, a- they do not become available soon enough for the potatoes. By getting healthy, plump seed; free from scab, we have had so little of this disease as to not pay to treat them. Cut seed pieces to two eyes, and drop twelve inches apart in rows. Cover with two furrows, leaving a slight fridge orer the rows. When the seeds are sprouted and nearly out run a smoothing harrow erossways over the rows, which will all but level down the ridge. As the plants are showing along the rows go cover them with the weedcr. taking two rows at a time. The after-cultivation thou Id be often, but shallow, using a ciilflvater with Vnroi- o siruet iVirin thus retl onrcjic. ?t4 u V4 serving all moisture possible. We plant last week in February, up to the middle of March, aud begin digging by the time they are the size of good sized hen eggs. (In the absence of a potato digger we run a shovel plow under the row. which gets them about all out. We have had no experience in shipping, as we raise entirely for our home niaiket. For the Colorado potato beetle, which every one has learned to dread, we use Paris green and slacked lime, two pounds of the green to one bushel of lime, mixing thoroughly. We find a dry powder duster very good for putting this on. and if done early in the morning, when the leaves are damp Bticks well and is effective. For the grower who has but a small area, tlie dust can be put on by placing it in a coarse woven gunny sack and shake over the row. which can be done almost as fast as you can walk. Hand picking is probably the safest plan for the home garden.?Mark Iiicgcl, Spalding County, Georgia. On* riinttr'i Experience. Now that it is almost a certainly that we are to reduce the acreage and fertilizers of this year's cotton crop, in fact we are compelled to do it. or become absolute slaves to the cotton gamblers, aud become too poor to skin, with our carcases petrified In poverty. *our children servants to the moneychangers and speculators who manipulate the nrtre of our cotton, the finest money and commercial crop grown In the world, to the enrichment of all but the South?now as a prudent people we must bide ourselves, let the fools go on and be destroyed.

Last July when that grand man and lamented friend and brother of Southern agricultursts, J. B.

When Ambassador Choate was lead27 of the New York bar many a fledgeling lawyer had a fling at him. There was scarcely an attorney who was not ifraid of him in open court, but elsewhere an occasional display of courigo and impudence would be made. One day in the Lawyers' club a budling pundit, now a highly successful practitioner, observing Mr. Choate at a neighboring table, asked in a voice meant for others to hear: "Ah, couns^W*, why was your luncheon so r?imentary?"

The peach Is somewhat sensitive to overfeeding with nitrogen or anunouiatc manures. Trees grown near barnyn<ls sloot out very vigorously at first, but the tissues seem to degenerate rapidly, forming gum pockets and exuding largo quantities of gum. The trees have been observed by pencil men to suffer from winter killing, and in extreme cases are often killed outright. An application of nitrate of soda at the rate of fiOO pounds per acre in one case noted by the Department of Agriculture retarded the ripening time of peaches two weeks, reaches regularly ripen on the poor knolls and hilltops earlier than in adjacent valleys or pockets, a'fc-\v feet away, where seepage nitrogen affects them. The latter are also more subject to certain fungi. The proximity of an old stabie was in one case the cause of the fruit being belated, and while the trees and fruit were larger the latter was inferior in color and quality. In a series of testa the fruit on tin? trees moderately suppled with nitrogen was brighter in color, sweeter and finer in texture, and only slightly smaller. In fact the peach is healthiest and yields the best fruit in soils which for most other crops would be considered deficient in nitrogen.

If yard manure can be obtained from sixty to 100 tons per acre, supplemented by a good dressing of potash in the form of sulphate is noue too much. In the absence of manure the best of results of a mineral fertilizer containing. Nitrogen, 4 per cent.; Thos. acid. 8 per cent.; Potash (sulphate formi, 12 per cent., have been known. One thousand or 1500 pounds per acre is not too much. After growth of the young plants has begun a top dressing of 100 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda should be made, and again after the heads begin to form that the growth may be continuous and rapid. * From $700 to $1000 has been received from a tine crop of extra carlr cabbage upon one acre. A Point in Practice. It has been shown by repented experiments that a pound of cotton-seed pineal is equivalent to 1.13 pounds of corn, and that a pound of cotton-seed meal is worth 1.75 pounds of corn for fattening purposes. Taking this In connection with the recent tests, we will realize the Immense value of the cotton-seed products for feeding and manurial purposes. It teaches the student this Important lesson; He cannot afford to soil cotton seed and buy corn as a substitute, even though the latter is cheaper In price per ton. A loss follows both in feeding and in the manure produced.?Progressive Farmer. nation For Steer*. Coi^| and oats, ground together, make an excellent ration for fattening steers. At lirst give an equal number of bushels ground together, which will give most of the bulk in oats. Then as the animal gains, increase a portion of corn and add oil cake meal. One pound of the mixture for every 100 pounds weight of the animal is sufficient, ar.il it should be given in two feeds. The increase toward the last will consist in j stronger feed rather than greater bnlk. Fox Caught by Girl. Hunters started a large gray fox on Longwood farm, belonging to the James Gordon estate.

Jesus_ stiinngered as j Jerusalem, and in one ol liis walks, perhaps to or from a synagogue, He came to this blind man. "He saw." Jesus took notice of his affliction; looked upon him with concern. He anticipated his need. That look meant .sight to the blind man. "A man." He was a beggar; it was his trade, but among all his petitions he did not ask for sight. Yet Jesus gave it. An illustration of free grace. This man was hopeless, helpless, poor. "Mind from his birth." Of the sis miracles connected with blindness which are recorded in the gospels this is the only case described as blindness from birth. In this lies its special characteristic, for since the world began it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind (v. 32). Blindness is verv common in Palestine. II. Jesus explains the mystery of providence (vs. 2-3). 2. "Disciples asked.' The first nuestion that arose in their minds was wby this blindness existed. "Who did sin." Scripture teaches that all disease, and even death, is the fruit of sin. The ? --.-j i??: ,1.., ? ! I jevrisn error cousisu:u iu ucucviu^ mai a.i ! special afflictions were divine visitations | for special sins. This error Jesus corI rected. Mark the contrast between their thoughts and those of Jesus in reply. Repentance calls our own afflictions punishments. but love calls the afflictions of others trials. "This man." But how co'^ld the man sin before his birth? The doctrine of t^? o; sculs, by which the same soul is supposed to Inhabit different bodies, was quite general among the Greeks and Asiatics, but there Is no clear proof that this doctrine was prevalent among these Jews. On the popular supposition that special calamities are a punishment for special sin?, the disciples desire to know whose sin caused this man's suffering. Was it his parents' sin or his own? i If Jesus had replied his own they would bqve asked. How? 3. "Neither." That is, so as to be the cause of tne blindness. Our Lord does not deny the existence of sin, either in this man or in his parents. The disciples looked to the origin of the suffering; our Lord looked to its removal. They asked, ''Whs is to blame?" Jesus askea, "Who is to save?" Instead of looking to the dark abyss, out of which sin and misery originated, the Lord's heart looks to the glory of God, who by redemption exalts fallen man to even higher blessedness than that of creature innocence. "Works of God?manifest." Not that this man was born blind for the sole purpose that a miracle might be wrought, but that his blindness furnished the occasion for Jesus to perform the divine work of healing hira fhus to show Himself to be God., God is not responsible for sin and its consequences, but both afford Him an opportunity to show His power and grace. 4. "We must work." (R. V.) By the plural "we." as given in the R. V., Jesus associates His apostles with Him in the work. It is encouraging to think that "we," poor weak men, can ba "workers i together with Christ." To rid the world of evil, of wretchedness, lonely sorrow, destitution and disease is the work of God. "While it is day." The day represents opportunity; the night, opportunity past. 5. "In the world." He would not be long in the flesh, but he has never ceased to be the light of the world. Sin is darkness. He is in bold contrast to sin. "I am the light." Like fhc sun, it is My business to dispense light and hent everywhere; to neglect no opportunity to enlighten and save the bodies and eouls of men. The case KnvnnH Knman wciuic litem >??*o aiku^vbuvi uvtvuv. means, but Jetus reminded Hi* disciples that in Him were light and life. III. The blind man was healed (vs. 6, 7)./ 8. "Made clay?anointed." Jeaus shows His power by proceeding, in His own way, to heal the man. Notice. 1. There is no connection between the means used and the effect produced. 2. Christ came into physical contact to attract attention and to stimulate faith; where faith was in lively exercise, He healed by His word, and at a distance. 3. Christ appeals to two of the maa's senses, his hearing and feeling, thereby arousing faith. Cnrist gave His personals attention to this case, even though His patient was a beggar. 7. "Go." Would He now prove His faith in a stranger? Would He hesitate because of His lifelong teaching that He must not wash the eyes medicinally on the Sabbath; much less at a nool of water? Would He now do what He could? Here came the practical test, proving His faith and obedience. "Siloam." A fountain under the walls of Jerusalem toward the east, between the city and the brook Kidron. It is stHl to be seen, one of the few undisputed 6ites in Jerusalem. "By interpolation, sent." That is, "outlet of waters;" either because'it was looked upon as a gift sent from God for the use of the city, or because its waters were directed or sent by canals or pipes into different quarters, for the same purpose. Some think there is an allusion to Gen. 49:10; that this fountain was a type of Shiloh, the Christ, the sent of God, and that it was to direct the roan's mind to the accomplishment of that pronhecy. he might find encouragement of faith in this. The pool by its very name was a tvoe of Christ. "He jrent." _He.bewevefl awl obeyed. We frequently TOSe God's hist gifts because we fail to set in time. "Carao seeing." The cure arts instantaneous. IV. Various discussions (vs. 8-11). 8. "Is not this he?" There was an immediate stir among'the neighbors; they noticed the great change in the man. The same is true when Christ gives spiritual eyesight. "Begeed." This ia the first mention of the fact that he was a beggar. He must have been well known. 9. "I am he." Jesus had met and healed the man on Friday night, at the beginning of the 8abbath, and the neighbors had not seen him go to the pool, so that on the next morning they were hardly able to believe their senses. But the man himself gave a positive testimony. 10. "How?opened. His neighbors gathered around him and asked foi an explanation, many are anxious 10 snun how things arc done, even though thej have no faith. 11. "He answered." H? had never seen his neighbors before, but now, looking right at them, he delivers this wonderful testimony to the power ol Christ. It is short, elear, positive. "A man." First he knew" Him only as "the Man" (R. V.) railed Jesus, then aS a pro phet (v. 17), thefi as a Man with wjion God was (vs. 31-33), then He was the Sor of God (vs. 35-38). Box Bouquets. A number of departures from conventionality marked the wedding of the Hon. Alexandra Vivian to A. B. Leith, King's Royal Rifle Corps. In the first place, the bridesmaids handed sprays of freesia to the guests as they arrived. In the second place, they carried bouquets in which box?ordinary garden hedge box?was conspicuous! In addition to the glossy green box there were pink roses and sprays of lily-ofthe-valley. Ivory satin dresses, copied from a Vandyck, were charmingly quaint. So were the cavalier hats in white straw, with a shaded bine plume across the front and a blue bow across the back. At this wedding Lady Evelyn GIffard was in a dress of mauve velvet Her rather large hat was of foliage green entirely. At a distance she looked like a giant flower upside down, her hat appearing to be the calyx, while her dress was figured to be the petals. It was of the lovely orchid "mauve shade. Indeed, all the mauve shades were seen. So was violet, and pansy purj pie, and all these colors up to palest | lilac. America^"?? .
