And yet there is no crop more easily grown. Make a piece of lancl very rich with manure worked in deeply and sow the seed in rows four feet apart and thin out to two feet apart, and the very next spring you can cut some to eat, and if you keep the bed veil manured every fall it will In crease in product year after year.

Plant a suceessfcm of corn, too, till early August and have corn till frost. Plant Wood's Bush Lima beans, and keep the green pods well picked, for if they are allowed to rir-en they will stop blooming, but they will keep tewing if well picked. The tail Dreer's Lima bean is the best of the large Limas for the South, and is test grown by planting in rows and thinning to two feet apart and then using some chicken netting for them to run on and not bothering with roles. Onions and Beets. Sow seed of Tail's Qneen onion very thickly to make seis for planting in the fall to give you green onions from February cn. Sow the seed in narrow rows very thickly. A piece of bed six by ten feet will hold a pound of seed, for the little drills may be almost filled with the seed, the 'object being to get sets r.o larger than a small marble. Sow Early Eclipse fcsets and scatter a few radish seed along the rows to mark thsm and to come out before the beets need thinning. The Blood turnip beets are sown at Same time for later use. The half long use :s can he sown in July after, some early crop is off. These will be fine all winter if the soil is thrown to the rows late in fall. o Try Some Eg? Plant,. Parsnips and Salsijy. Plant White Spine cucum Vers iu well manured hills for table use now, and later in July plant move for pickles. p:g plants are too little grown in the South. It is too late to sow the seed, but you can get plants cheaply from the seedsmen and set them in May when the ground is warm, an.l then keep the potato bugs Picked off them and you will have a dish that any one will appreciate. Sow parsnips and salsify in July. Thes9 raake their best growth after ae weather gets cool and will grow all winter. They are sown in the Epi'sg in the North, but in the Souih ii?y are apt to get woody and run to ssed in late summer if sown early.

But in the South It is neces sary to sow a late crop as the early ones are apt to play out in the heat the last of June. Sow the seed in May and transplant after some early crop. Then in the late fall when the vines are full of green fruit and frost threatens, gather the tomatoes and wrap each in paper and pack in boxes and put in a cool place just where they will not freeze, and bring out a few at a time into a warm room where they will soon color up. I have had tomatoes to slice in this way till January. Summer squashes you will have, of course. The White Patty Pan is best. Hadish and Sa;;e.

Sow some seed in a bed and transplant after some early crop a foot apart and you can cut it green to the ground in the fall, and have enough for the neigh borhood when dried in the shade, Then if any one wants the plantsj sell them and sow seed again next spring, for the young plants are bet ter than the eld bushes,. ?Iakc Your Garden Work All Year Round.- in short, have a garden and keep' it at work all the year round. Then if you will get a few hotbed sashes and make a frame for them you can have fresh headed lettuce to cat all winter, parsley and radishes and French carrots A garden kept at work all the time and abundantly supplied with manure and fertilizers, and by having a good large garden you can supply the home market with nice vegetables and at least pay all the cost of what your family eats.

Computing Tape Measure A computing tape measure, which provides a simple and convenient means for ascertaining weights and measures without employing calcula tions of any kind, is shdwn ih the il lustration belowi it is especially use ful in determining th weight iter foot of tubes, pipes, bars and -rods. The computing measure is formed of two or more tapes, arranged side by side. The one shown here, to be used in ascertaining the weight of pipes has two tapes. One containing figures to indicate the diameters of the pipe and the other the weights per foot of pipes of different diameters. The measure is used as follows; To ascertain the Weight pel4 foot of a pipe having an Internal diameter of 2 inches and an external diam eter 2 inches, the upper tap is drawn out until the figures 2 ap pear at the edge of the slot. Both tapes are then drawn out together until the figures 2 , representinghe external diameter of the pipe cr tube, appenr on . the upper tape. The weight per foot ia indicated by the figure on the lower tape directly be low theflgures 27&-. To determine the weight per foot of a solid cylindri cal rod, both tapes are drawn out to gether until the figures representing the diameter of the rod appear on the upper tape, when the weight per foot can be read on the lower tape. . A third tape can be added having markings indicating the cubical con tents, A measure of this character dan be readily carried in the pocket and can be quickly referred to for as certaining the desired data without employing formulae Washington Btar4 Diamcnds.

The pulpit prayers of ambitious probationers added something to the great preacher's store. One prayed that "God's rod and staff may be ours while tossed on the sea of life, so that we may fight the good fight of faith, and in the end soar to rest."

The over waist In all its variations continues to be a favorite of the fashionable world and it allows of so many different effects and such charming treatment that the fact is easy to understand. This one is novel and - graceful and can be utilized either for plain material or for banding, while the blouse beneath can be made of anything thin and soft that may be liked. As illustrat ed, however, the overwaist is made of; embroidered banding, while the blouse itseif is of crepe ttinott with the chemisette Of tucked mousseline. The sleeves that extend just to the elbows and are finished with narrow frills are pretty and attractive, but they Can be cut a little ionger, cover ing the elbows, if liked, in which case they would be made with cuffs to match the Chemisette, as shown in the small view. When the blouse is made with banding, as in this instance, the Sections are cut separately and joined one to the Other over the shoulders, but when it is cut from plain material there is hd need of such joinings. In either Jase the over waist and the blouse are joined at theii lower edges and are attached to a foundation gir dle over which the draped one la ar ranged. The blouse is made with front and backs and is faced to form the chem isette, the material beneath being cut away when a transparent effect is de sired. The larger portions of the over blouse are cut in one piece each with the centre front portion separ ate, and are arranged over the blouse, which is gathered at the lower edge and joined to the girdle. The sleeves are moderately full and are arranged over fitted linings which are faced to form the cuffs of the three-quarter sleeves or trimmed with frills of lace in the case of the elbow sleeves. The quantity of material required for the medium size is, for the blouse, two and a half yards twenty-one, two an6 a quarter yards twenty-seven, or one and a half yards forty-four inches wide, with three-quarter yard of tuck ing for chemisette; one and one-eighth yards eighteen or twenty-one inches wide or four and three-quarter yards of banding two and a half inches wide for the over waist and sleeve bands; five-eighth yard of silk for the girdle. New Neckwear. Often there is a scarf or jabot of fine muslin and lace, hand made, worn below the brooch. Again plain velvet ribbon Is arranged into many loops and ends, the latter finished with tiny silk tassels. No one could complain of this not being old-fashioned enough, and yet it is distinc tively new and smart They are wearing them in Paris on the most expensive frocks. Waist Drapery. The drapery on the waist is a logi cal development of the surplice and fichu effects and of the kimonci sieere. . Newest Colors. The newest colors are strong IE tone, and are either becoming or quite the opposite. Lines of black serve to tone down the vividness of many of the new materials. Black Velvet Dots. - In making up a black spangled robe over a ruffle of pleated chiffon it is a clever idea to connect the two by Sewing to the ruffle at regular In tervals big disks of black velvet. Waistcoats For Suits, Some vests for suits are made of knife-pleated taffeta, one shade light er than the suit, sewn like a ruffle inside the jacket. These silk vests are more becoming to. some figures than the stiff, tight-fitting vest of em- broidery and braid, but they detract gre&tiy from the tailored appearance, and ai-ei therefore, not likely to take the place of the latter. Fancy Blouse Waist; The ; pretty fancy biouse waist is the one most in demand at the' mo- merit both for the entird gdwn and for the odd blouse. This one is adapt ed to - both purposes and would be exceedingly charming made from any of the fashionable thin materials. In the illustration crepe de Chine Is combined with chemisette of lace and is trimmed with heavy applique, while the sleeves are. finished with dainty little bands and frills of Valenciennes lace. The blouse, however, would be charming in loulsine, in voile, in mar quisette, in chiffon and all similar materials and also in the fashionable filet and embroidered nets. The soft folds produced by the fullness at the shoulders render it peculiarly well adapted to these last and the model is altogether a most satisfactory one. There are the big arm-holes suggest ive of Mandarin styles, yet which are by no means clumsy or exaggerated, while the sleeves can be made either in the pretty three-quarter or full length. Altogether the blouse givea an effect of extreme dressiness and charm, while it is simple, involving very little labor in the making. The blouse is made over a plain lining without darts. This lining 18 faced to form the chemisette and the sleeves are attached to it. The blouse proper consists of the fronts and the backs and is arranged over the lining, the two being closed invisibly at the back. The sleeves are faced to form the deep cuffs when long sleeves are used to form the V-shaped portions for those of three-quarter length. The collar can be made either curved up back of the ears or straight as fcund more becoming. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and three-eighth yards twenty-one, two and seven-eighth yards twenty-seven, or one and 'seven-eighth yards : 'forty- four inehes wide, "with one-half, yard of , all-over lace for the chenjisette, four yards of applique, one yard of insertion and one yard of edging to make as illustrated, one and one-half yards of all-over lace when the deep cuffs are used Household Matters; Borax For Fresh Meats Fresh . meats dused tirei with powdered borax (which is now. pre pared of extreme' fineness and purity kndVhite ai snovir); and tubbed in as' you would pepper and salt; will keep fresh much longer.

After all, this must be taken into consideration in the selection of all girls' clothing at this critical age. French mothers are adopting the apron, making it up in all the fashionable linens. Some forms of it are real works of art in point of embroidery added to them; but others are merely "sen sible" garments of plain, stout, easily cleansed material.

Those who board, but who have privileges, may well imitate the maiden who washes her own silk underwear and stockings. The aver age laundry simply means ruin. One industrious maiden has great success. She soaks them, one garment at a time, in rather strong borax water for about ten minutes, the water warm butnot hot. Then she washes the garment in white suds until it is clean and rinses it in tepid water un til the last water is clear, pulls the garment into shape and dries on a little "horse" which she bought for the purpose. . Hot water is sure to make silk harsh. Philadelphia Re cord. . . All in Good Taste. Nothing could be more appropriate than the covers and curtains seen in the Inexpensively furnished home of a young matron who had picked up bits of old furniture to match the few pieces which had descended to her from a doting grandparent. Her mahogany chest, bureau and little sewing table had covers made of organdie j-ust the size of the article to be covered. These were simply hemmed with an inch-wido hem, and about one-half inch inside this hem was sewed, on both sides, another Inch-wide piece of the goods. making a simulated tuck.
