the war begins. ' The dealer leans both
her elbows on one side of the showcase

For summer, young girls will wear im
mense black hats, flat as a plate, and
loaded down with flowers. The indi
viduality of each will consist in the pe
culiar convolutions of the brim, which is
bent and folded, contorted in all varie
ties of a cocked hat or picturesque Gains
borough effects for some faces, and
turned down all around like a lamp
shade on others. Married women still
cling to smallest possible -headgear, a
band of jet or tulle, with a veil gathered
over the front curls, or a tuft of cowslips
set in tulle over wavy tresses. A striking
.bonnet worn at the Paris horse show,
where one sees more dressy toilets than
are worn in New York at a reception on
the avenue, consisted of a single red
poppy, flattened on the head. The first
row of petals fell softly on the hair in a
circle about as large as a plate;1 the sec
ond row wassmallerj aud in the centre
was the heart of the flower with its
black stamens. The costume accompany

and silk sleeves, and a red ruche about

in every town. Now that the old idea
that ducks require a brook or pond has
been proven erroneous, there appears no
reason why these birds should not be
added Jo every poultry yard. The im

GOATS FOR ROCKY LAND.
There is a popular prejudice against
goats on account of vicious or offensive
peculiarities, but, without doubt, more
could be made of them in many places
than from sheep, or even from cattle.
They are even more easily kept than
sheep, provided they are tethered to a
stake and changed once a day. In
Europe the goat is the poor man's cow,
furnishing more milk than its small size
would lead any one to suppose possible.
Perhaps if more care were taken in
breeding, then the milking capacities of
the' goat could be materially increased.
They are especially adapted to rough and
rocky land, climbing and browsing where
other animals would starve. Boston

MANAGEMENT OF AN INCUBATOR.
The chief points in the working of an
incubator arc the temperature and the
occasional variations of it, the moisture
needed and the turning of the eggs.
The temperature, should not go above
101 degrees nor below 80 degrees. An
occasional reduction of temperature to
80 degrees, or even 70 degrees, for a
short time will not injure the eggs and
is undoubtedly beneficial, as it causes a
circulation of air in the egg. Except
during an hour or two each .day, when
the temperature may be permitted to fall
as mentioned, it should be kept steady at
from 102 degrees to 104 degrees. This
steady heat is important to be observed.
The needed moisture may be supplied by
spraying the eggs once a day, when they
are turned, with water -warmed to 100
degrees. The eggs may be turned all at
once by having the floor of the nest
movable and sliding it foward and back
ward, by which- the eggs are partly
turned. This should be done once every
day when the incubator is opened for
examination. New York Times.
BEANS FOR THE GARDEN.
In raising beans it must be borne in
mind that all varieties not only require
harvesting before frost in the fall, but
that they are so sensitive to cold and wet
that it is useless to plant them before all
danger of frost is past in the spring. It
quite the best plan toxdefei the plant
in!" until the ground has become warm
ana dry enough ;to cause a quick .growth
of he seed, for in a-cold, wet soil the
mdst of the seeds planted will lie and rot.
As "beans for the table; the Lima for green
shelled pole beans, and the wax for string
less pods are common favorites of the two
varieties, but any attempt to hasten the
maturity of either by too early planting
will result in disappointment. The
Limas should beUnted in hills about
four feet apart, witiffroni four to six
seeds to the hill, of which train about
three of the best vines to a pole. The
poles should be set before the beans are
planted and be about eight feet in height.
The wax beans "should be planted in rows
about two and a half feet apart, either in
hills or drilled with the seed from two to
three inches apart. In neither case should
they be cultivated, except where the
vines are quite dry, for dirt falling on the
foliage when wet or damp will cause rust
and injure the quality and yield. -New

HOW TO MAKE A SCRUB COW. .
How to make a scrub cow. Here is
the process ; Half feed your cow through
the winter; provide no shelter, and ex
pose her to storms and the exhausting
cold. .When the calf comes be very
penurious about the cow's feed. Let
her pick her living on a bare pasture and
the refuse fodder in the barnyard gath
ered fron the manure heaps. It , does
not pay, you think, to give the wretched
beast a few pounds of meal, and perhaps"
it will not attho first, for there is much
flesh to put on the bare bones before any
fat can be put into the milk. Wean the
calf when five days old, and give it only
sour milk and the rancid buttermilk, and
when it is half dead with diarrhea give
it some alum to dry it up. Turn it out
into a half-barrea lot to gather the weeds
and the coarse grass, and when it has
worried through the summer, let it run
for the winter in the yards and get the
leavings of all the other stock, while its
back is humped up with cold and it
bawls for food through the nights while
its owner warms himself under the
blankets. When three years old, under
such treatment, it will bring a calf more
wretched than itself, and the bull which
was ra'sed (lowered might be more true)
in the same way. Proceed in this way
and you get a scrub breed. Xeio York
Times.
TO CALM EXCITED HORSES.
The best and only thing to do when
your horse is excited is to calm him. In
a high state of excitement the horse doe3
not comprehend what is wanted of him.
Every one has seen a team where one
horse would go backward and the other
one forward, or, in other words, "saw.''
All the whipping and "hollering" that a
dozen men can do will not start such a
team once in a hundred times. The team
is excited, and it shows that by every
action, and lashing and loud talk only
make matters worse. Try to calm the
horse by gentle words and actions. Time
will be saved if a half hour is taken to
noothe the refractory horse. An excited
horse is just like an excited child. We
Jiave seen a child scolded and jawed at
until it could not comprehend what was.
wanted of it to save its life. Stop scold
ins and calm the child, and the work
you desire of it will soon be done. It is
idle to expect an animal to do your bid
ding, so long as it cannot understand
what you want done. Two-thirds of the
horses that are termed balky are made so
by their drivers. A man must understand
the disposition of bis horse and .be
governed accordingly." Another prolific
source of excitement to a nervous horse
is the overcheck, in all its varied forms.
Some have a small, extra bit on the over
check, and that and the bridle bit arc
forced into the horse's mouth at the same
time. This quite often frets the animal,
and when he starts off he is sometimes in
clined to act bad. and the whip is used
on him to make him act better, which
too often makes matters a good deal
worse. Then the horse becomes excised
and often balks, and often gains the re
putation of being a chronic "stayer."
I do not believe that any horse is natur
ally balky, but is in every case made so
by excitable owners or dnver3.
Excitement in the horse takes various
forms. ; Some are sullen and morose,
while others are nervous and jerky. It
is seldom that a cool, quiet man, one
that can govern his own temper, ever has
a fractious or nervous horse to contend
with. Horses have instinctive reasoning
faculties, which are in a great measure
controled by their own drivers.- West

Tannin? by Electricity.
Engineering reports an interesting trial
of electricity for the conversion of hides
into leather, 'which took place in Ber
mondsey, England, recently. The tan
ning was accomplished in a revolving
drum twelve feet in diameter and eight
feet long, rotating at eight revolutions
a minute. Turpentine and tannic acid
were used to saturate the hides, and a
strong current of electricity was caused
to flow from a metal band which runs
around the'-interior of one end of the
drum to a corresponding band on the
other end. The drum, after, revolving
five days, was opened, and the leather
appeared to be of excellent quality. This
system shortens the process of tanning
from months to days, and seems to be a
successful revival of an experiment made
at Buda-Pesth ten yeais ago. . ,
Benefits of Begnlarity.
Regularity is one of the most difficult
of all minor habits to acquire. It ranks
witlfthat of order. The natural inclina
tion of most persons is to defer until the
last Dossible moment, or to nut it off till
another time, where that possibly can be
done. Yet the habits of regularity con-
iriDuie largely to ine ease ana comtort of
life. . A person can multiply his efficiency
by k . We know persons who have a
multitude of duties, and are there at the
moment and attend rigidly to what is in
hand. This done, and other engagements
are met, each, in order, and a vast
deal accomplished, not by strained
exertion, but by regularity. The
mind can be so trained to this that certain
hours in the day it will turn to . a par
ticular line of duty, and at other hours
to other and different labors. The very
diversity is restful, when attended to in
regular order. But let these run to
gether, and the duties be mixed, and
what before was easy is now annoying
and oppressive, and the exact difference
between many is at this point.. There
are those who confuse and rush, and at
tempt to do several things at once and
accomplish little, while another w)ll
quietly proceed from one duty to another
and easily accomplish a vast amount of
work. The difference is not in the ca
pacity of the two, but in the regular
methods of the one, as compared with
the irregular and confused habits of the
other. '.

Some physicians, noticing the excellent
tonics antiperiodio and antipyretic properties
of Smiths Tonic Syrup, have endeavored to as
certain its composition. Of course the proprie
tors of this valuable remedy would wrong
themselves if they made the secret of their
cure public property. Why should its oom. po
sition be considered so Ions B3 it proves an ef
fectual remedy and as easily obtainable of
druggists as is quinine. Many people who buy
and use quinine don't know it is made from
Peruvian bark. They don't care to know.

break up a cold or an attack of influenza,- la
grippe, etc., quicker than any other drug.
They know also that it is pleasant to take and
never leaves any unpleasant after effect.
They know also that it can be used as a substi
tute for quinine and always with more satis
