Star- WOMEN AS, BEE KEEPERS. ' I wish for the benefit of many women who' are desirous of supporting them selves, or aiding in the support of-fheQ . families, to cite them to an employment by the aid of which many women make money, and do it independently and easy, savs an Atlanta lady in the Sunny South.

The women of the higher classes of Coustantinopolitan society may be seen in the fall at the Sweet Waters of Asia, and in the spring at the Sweet Waters of Europe rcharming open glades, where they resort on Fridays and take the only public promenade of "the week. Brought ' trom the harems in carriages and caiques, they are dressed in gala attire and adorned with iewels. A crroun sitting on " the grass or walking to and fro is at once suggestive of association in marital vow :tnl subjection under one lord. I have seen as many as fourteen together, all of various acres, different heights and different degrees of attractiveness, in dieatiuir the mood or the straits of the aminbie man. Most of the women are coarse of appearance. Some are exceed r iugly fair of complexion, with black, - lustrous eyes and grace of carriage. They : relax the rigidity of Mohammedan usage when thereTis no danger of detection and loosen tneir veils. iue asiimau., Egyptian style of veil, covering the face from the eyes downward, is now the . fashion in Constantinople. In Damascus" the veil is dark in color and covers the entire face, which it fully conceals. In Constantinople many of the women wear a white veil drawn back and bound behind the head. Some of them dress in Paris ian costume and wear dainty Turkish caps. If the veil is a misery to the young and fair, it is a solace to the ugly, whom it puts on a par with the attractive. We noticed that the latter class were strict 1 - -t ml . "1 . 1. conformists to the law.

Mail and fcrpreis. LATEST STYLES OF DRESSING THE nAlH. The coiffure is at present; in that de lightful state of transition which forbids the making of arbitrary laws and allows a woman to dress her hair! high or low, according to her caprice. ; The one thing requisite to stylish hair dressing is that tne hair shall be loose and fluffy. The wise women- barber up town with the wicked eyes and the winning dimples, says that about one woman an one hun dred has the kind of hair that by -careful washing will possess the requisite flufty ness, and that that one wfimm t,. likes it. The effect is usually produced tuning irons ana with? artificial ad ditions of curly hair. The coils of braids so frequently seen below round hats, on the street are very often put Ion and taken oft with thehats, for they are really be coming to few faces and more Ein'tahlr. for the street than for more dressy occasions, and ladies prefer to dress their hair high pinbn the braids at need. i The two extremes of styles are the Em pire coiffure and the catogan braid. The latter jstyle is a simme loose nlatt inmWi low id the neck and fastened with a rib bon of- a single long pin of gold or silver. The Empire headdress is, mostly used with evening gowns, and has three nrom- ment features curls, bunch of ribbon ana flowers. The hair is Icombed very u'g" up on tne neaa, ana small knot to be-completely iwistea in a covered with snort, sott curls falling toward the fore neaa and also toward the back. One long curl is combed out and covers the back of the head with wavei, until a lit tle way above the neck it jtwists into a curl again. Flowers are to fee very much worn with this coiffure, and fillets $f gold and silver, diadems of precious, stones, or a bunch of ribboahvill be also' used on dressy occasions. TJltra-fashion-able women adopt a style of j headdress in which the hair is worn very high. The front tresses are parted in "the centre to' form two crimped bandeaux, over which rests theWatteau wreath, encircling the cluster of loops of hair arranged on" top of the head. j There are some prophecies concerning the abandonment of bangs, 3ut their de cline will be slow, as few faces are so per fect in outline as to dispense with them. Since Mrs. Cleveland has loslj the prestige of her high place the style oif tossing the bangs up in front in a puff & tieeri los ing favor atul is rarely seen J The-short pointed or rather square bang aroutwiite- favor loosely curled, ancLJjor youthful faces the light fringe of . bjair upon the forehead, the rest of the wavy mass being combed straight back, is very popular. 'Now that the pretty Hading has sailed away, leaving only a delicious memory of grace and loveliness, the style of coiffure she inaugurated has fallen into desuetude. This consisted in combing tHeloose hair over the-tips bfThe" ears antf twisting" it in a loose knot at the back.f I A woman with small, pretty ears could never be prevailed upon to hide thjem,' and the size of large or prominent ears was em phasized and rendered'yet more noticea ble, by.that style of headdress. One of the most effective and pleading arrange ments now worn is that whch is neither hicrh nor low, but covers the back of the head with loose, soft coils ; and ioias reaching from the crown 'ofj the head to the neck, a style affected byj Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., and Miss Otis, the pretty society star actress. Youner trirls will return to the old-time popular fashion of leaving Jthe hair loose and flowing, tied back f rorrj the face with a simnle ribbon and ornamfented with a simple flower, which accords well with the nicturesaue and juvenile style of dressing now in vogue. All the styles seem to be based on Grecian j ideals and nicturesaue models, and perhaps- the greatest boon to womankind that the chahffe will bring about is that the stylish "fluffiness" can only be effected in hair rtiat ij frpmipntlv washed, aind a general nliTiPss will nrevail for a time. -JVeic York Sun. FASHION NOTES, i tKp everts nf tulle dresses are made in fanplisses. There is a revival of the ga rne as a fashionable jewel. Jeweled hairpins are being produced in every conceivable design. "RiKhnns intended for sashes vary in width from ten to twelve inches. Sandal shoes are worn with Empire and Directory gowns on the other siae Nothing thicker than tulle or net is used as a lining to the ibrims of large straw hats. The toque capote is a. long, oval crown," like strings attached. bonnet with a toque with Beautifully printed mohairs and alpacas are among the dressy yet inexpensive ma terials of the season. The summer stocking par excellence is of fine- black lisle thread, with toes, heels and upper half all in white. The latest fancy in neck lingerie is the deep falling plisse and the.p.arrow upright ruche of sulphur-yellow gauze.. The newest earrings arj a revival of the old Creole hoops of gold or silver, plain, chased or set with jjewels. Some of the daintiest parasols, of net and tulle are fringed all around with the petals of roses, poppies, lilies or ferns. Pongee, tussore and China silk in com bination with plaided surah make pretty and comparatively inexpensive, summer gowns. I The combination of velvet with all species of tissues will continue to .be a feature of costumes for day, and of toilets for evening wear. ' j Straw braids and stripes, composed of braided rushes or straw embroidery on an open ground" give pretty trimmings for hats and bonnets for the summer. AGRICULTURAL. XOPIC& OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. 8TEFP KECK IN A COLT. Any injury to the muscles of the neck mayr cause stiffness; an injury to the spinal cord, which passes through the vertebrae of the neck, will have the same effect. By throwing a colt for an opera tion by means of a rope around the neck, such injury as would produee this stiff ness can scarcely be avoided. . To throw a f colt safely proceed as follows : Put strong straps or noosed ropes around the pasterns, gradually draw these together, and push the colt over on a thick bed of straw; then' tie the feet fast and proceed with the operation. New York Times. ABOUT CUTTING ASPAKAGUS. A cultivator of this delicious vegetable says that it is bad practice in cutting asparagus to leave the small shoots that are not large enough for use. The better way is to cut all off clean, until the middle of June. - Then all cutting should cease, and the plants be allowed to make their summer gt owth. The old practice of planting the roots deeply below the sur face, and cutting the shoots as soon " as they pushed through the ground, with barely a green tip, is exploded. Green and not bleached, is the asparagus for flavor. All weeds should be kept down and the soil stirred enough to be at all tunes loose and friable on the surface. ' CULTIVATE FRUIT TREES. All fruit trees succeed best with culti vation, but there is more than one way of cultivation. I have planted a row of quinces along an open ditch one-fourth mile long, where the plow and cultivator cannot go. I first laid down around each tree a mulch of potato vines, then having many loads of stones that were picked from the meadows and berry fields, and no other use for, them, I made a stone pile over the mulch, close about the trees and three feet distant. These stones are equal to cultivation as far as they go. The soil under a stone pile, if always loose and moist and free from grass or weeds, what better cultivation is needed? As the trees grow larger the limits of the stone pile should be extended. I con sider this even better that ordinary culti vation, for the roots of the quince feed near the surface, and are injured by cul tivation and severe winters if unprotected by such mulch. Green's Fruit Groioer. ORCHARD STARVATION. From the orchards of a sWlfl small neighborhood the waste fruit ground for cider yields from 200 to 500 bushels of apple seed to the nursery trade yearly. In a good year for fruit the crop of seed in apples and stone fruits equals or ex ceeds the average crop of wheat in the same locality. And then the leafage, year by year carried away by the winds of autumn, removes a larrre nmnnnt. nf choice and necessary minerals extracted fromthe soil by the roots. Added to this is much of the same matter with drawn from the soil and deposited per manently in theavood growth. Most of the complaint of the un profitableness, of orcharding comes from ignoring the demands of the crop upon the soil and of the soil, thus weakened upuu. me orcnaraisc. ah unaertea or fjcrnprrmwi an underfed animal. The fruit is scanty in quantity, size and quality, and such fruit is getting less andless profitable every year. " According to my experience orchards must receive as good culture and as milch manure as a grain field ; and when they get it will pay as well ier better than, most .other crops. Orchard and Garden. REMOVING STUMPS. It is no easv matter to remove green stumps from a newly cleared field, and to do so at once for any considerable num ber will be found to cost more than the use -of the land they occupy will be worth, until they have decayed so that their removal by fire or otherwise will be comparatively easy. Stumps that have partly decayed roots can often be twisted out out by placing the largest end of a long ana srout piece oi imiuer agamsi, the side of the stunrp and chaining it fast, then with a team at the other end of the lever pulling in the direction of a circle around it. A method that luS been recommended is to bore a hole as deep as jou 'can down to the centre of the stump in the fall, and put in two ounces of saltpetre a"nd plug it up. In tne spring remove the plug and fill with kero sene oil, and afterward ignite it. This, it is said, will cause the stump to smoul der away entirely. The experiment is onethat can be easily tried. There is no doubt that saturating a seasoned stump with oil by boring into it or otherwise will greatly facilitate its burning. As a general thing it will be' found best to leave green stumps to season and then destroy them as fast as you can with fire. Stumps are expeditiously blown . out with dynamite, but Jew farmers care to handle this explosive. ' When expense is no ob ject patent stump pullers may be resorted to. Neva York Sun. TREATMENT OF YOUNG CHICKENS. The young chickens should not be stinted in their diet until after the downy coverings haye gone, and a good coat of feathers has appeared. The moulting sea son is another critical time in their lives, and if they are i not generously supplied with good wholesome food they are liable to sicken and die from little exposure or rhane-e in the weather. The strong tis sues of the body are now being formed, and they should be liberally supplied with egg-shells, Oyster-shells, or bones. Their craving for such food will manifest itself at once. The egg-shells should be dried before the fire, and then ground as finely as corn-meal. The oyster and clam shells should be pounded and crushed in the same way. The bones should be burnt and crushed as far as possible, and the whole mixed up together. If distributed around the yard where the chickens have been accustomed to find food they will eat freely of this mixture every day. To be very particular about the food it would be an improvement upon this plan to mix the ground shells and bones with corn meal, and cook the mess before the fire. Add a little linseed meal, and feed the chicks with it every morning. Such a diet as this supplies the chickens not sim ply with fat, but with the elements neces sary for the growth of feathers, bone and nauscle. If they are not allowed to roam' about in woods and fields they should have . chopped-up fresh vegetables. Usually, the. tops of vegetables that are thrown away before using on the table will do fpr thif . Such a diet, I think, will answer all purposes, 'and give the young chickens a good start in "Kf ejwMca is necessary for. their future growth.- WasJlihgton Star. " - -; CELERY IK BEDS. " . - The ordinary distances at which celery is planted is in rows from three to three and a half feet apart, with at least three plant i to the foot in the rows. , At these distances celery large enough for all prac tical jurposes can be raised, provided the soil i$ sufScientiy rich, and proper atten tion is given in the cultivation and earth ing-u p. As will readily be seen, a : row of twenty-five feet will give as many stalks as will be required for an ordinary family. But there, are cases where the land : !or even this quantity cannot well be spired, or where the celery is not so much wanted for the table as for' soups,' stews, and the like, where size of stalks is no object. In this case we have suc ceeded well in growing a part of the crop in teas. For example, a piece , of land selected, say, 3x20, can easily be made to gf ow 150 celery plants of quite sufficient size f r the purposes mentioned, and, in deed, that will also do for the table, at a pinch. , First, the soil may as well be taken out three or four inches deep and laid to the side ijwo feet six inches wide. This will aftenjrard be useful in furnishing soil for , partial earthing up. Except in very rich' soil, good coating of manure should be spaded into this trench and then the bed n is ready for the plants. .The plafijag wJ, be time enough in July. Three rows, tax be planted in this bed one foot apart, and tne plants set lour inches from each other. All tblat is necessary during the summer is to-leep the weeds down, and the soil occasionally stirred. , ; As dt is supposed that this crop is mainly for fall and winter use, it is not necessary to do anything until the. end of beptember or October, and then only suf ficient to keep the stalks well together, it beind well known that for late keepingj .celery is better '.not to be. thoroughly bleached when put away. As a part of the crop may be wanted for : first ,use, there is nothing to prevent one end of the bed from being earthed up and got ready for usje first, selecting as many as are likefy' to be wanted. Of course, where a sreat quantity is grown, where land is no ob ject, his method is not likelj to be much followed. But among such as have only little land, and yet want to make the most of it, I we commend the foregoing to their consideration.'' It will be seen. that land for thas purpose is not wanted until some of the early crops are ready to clear off. Prairie Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Last spring about half' a million young shad were placed soon after hatching in a large pond in Washington, and were care fully tended and fed and protected from enemies during the whole of the period which the young shad spends in fresh water. The young fishes prospered and grew rapidly, and nearly all of them were still alive when the time for migrating to the ocean came in the fall. The gates of the pond were then opened one morning, and all day long the silver stream ol young shad poured out through them and started onHhe long journey down to the sea. . All naturalists will look forward with the greatest interest to the time when these fishes return, bringing back with them to the fishermen of the Poto mac the wealth of food which they have gathered in the ocean. In the mean time we may indulge the hope that the strong constitutions which they have acquired during their carefully nurtured youth will enable them to excel their less favored brotheis, and that when they reach oui market thev will have some of the ex cellence of our improved gird en pro ducts. But this is not all. These shad were reared from selected eggs. The adults which entered our waters first in the spring are most valuable to the fishermen, since they are put upon the marKet at time when fresh fish are scarce and high priced.-. Our' experience with garden vegetables justifies the expectation that the eggs of early shad shall themselves rive birth to earlv shad. Now, all the D . young fishes which were put into the Fish Commission pond were hatched from eggs taken from the earliest shad of the season, and, if this process of selection be pur sued for a few years, we -may feel confi dent that the Potomac River will soon abound in shad of extra quality at the time when fine shad are hardest to get and most valuable.

The rule is to take a package amounting to $5Q0, composed of thirty nine bills as follows: Twenty bills in 5's, ten bills in 10's, five bills in 2Q's and four bills of 50's, then secretly remove one of the bills, either a five, a ten, a twenty, or a fifty, and require the stu dent to count the package twice correctly in succession, taking the slowest time .of the two counts for a record." Many of the students have accomplished this in 10 seconds, and one of them in 9 sec onds. Now, therefore, believing this time of 9J seconds to be extraordinary, I challenge the students of any other busi ness college in America (or out of it) to equal this time, and I challenge any bank teller in America (or out of it) to beat the -time one second ; I also challenge the .students of any other business college, or any person who has not attendd this school, to equal the time in interest cal culations above mentioned. A copy of this has been mailed to the business col leges and bank tellers- throughout the country. . R. W. JENNINGS, Principal Jennings' Business College, Nashville, Tenn. A Long-Lived Turk. Those who are anxious to remain in the flesh beyond the ordinary duration of this mortal life will be interested in the habits of the old Turk, who recently h died at Haddatha, aged 130 years. Old r tt J : : o i; au i J - . - n j-iuuji ouiiuiuu Dttua uau seven ititus, uii of whom died before him, he was the. father of sixty sons and nine daughters, who have also gone the way of all flesh, and the year before his. death he was thinking of marrying again, but could not obtain the necessary funds to buy a bride. Saba was a farmer unto hiB life's end; his diet consistent. mainly of barley bread, beans and watef and only twice a year in high festivals, did hes eat meat. His clothes were even more simple then his diet, consisting of a shirt only, and when he traveledapair of trouqrs. His bed was a mattress and straw rast, and it had never been a 4 'bed of sickness" till three days before his death. At Last. One of the oldest engineering schemes projected in the world , is now gradu ally jippsoachiDg completion, and the canal through the isthmus -of Corinth, in Greece. Work was actually begun on the canal under the Emperor Nero, so that over seventeen hundred years will have passed between its beginning and its final completion. As finally exca vated, the canal will be four miles long, with a depth of eight metres, or errfficiont for the largest vessels which usually nav igate the adjacent seas. Yalue of Silk-Worms. The value of silk-worm cocoons grown in the world annually is enormou.4. The last great estimate of the wqafla's silk product it was calculated that it reached the grand total of 67,000,000 lbs., which, at an average value of about 16s. per pound, realized over fifty-three and a half millions sterling. China contributed 23,000,000 lbs., value over eighteen and a half millions; Japan, to the value of 3,400,000; India, 7,000,000; Italy, 12,000,000, and France, 6,200,060. "Beautiful Land." The flrsbaby born in Oklahoma City, a -wee girl, Was named Oklahoma by thji highest bidder at an auction for the privilege of naming the first baby born in the hew territory. The auctioneer was a gambler, and the bids were offered by a company of boom ers, cowboys and land speculators. $58 dollars was paid to secure to the baby her remarkable name, and the money was atones handed over to her poverty stricken parents, who received it with tears ot gratitude, rne Iran little visi tor had already proved to be their mas- cotte.
