It is rather interesting to note the fact
- that the Short Skirt League of London
suggests a walking skirt not less than
five inches from the ground. The de
sigu is a plaiu bell skirt with side pock
et and flaps; a kilted skirt and a plaiu
skirt with front width forming a box
pleat under which the pocket can be
placed. It is also suggested that the
back of the skirt be made shorter than
the front, as the back sags from a half
to two inches. The league is a branch
of the Rational Dress Society. It is not
expected that a dress skirt five inches
from the ground will be generally
adopted but the rules may be amended
to admit of a compromise. The return
of the pocket will be hailed with delight
by all women. Detroit Free Presa.
NEW FAUASOT.S.
The coming parasol is a very elaborate
affair iadeed, with its ruchings and its
tlouncings and ribbons. Tne more gauzy
and "floating"' it is the better, and some
of the new desigus look not unlike an
elaborate lamp shade. Hand painted
parasols are mu?h liked, whether in silk
or muslin ; nd artificial Mowers to match
the design are bunched ou top with rib

VHT DO WOMEX BLUSH?
Blushing is not an art. Neither is it
an absolute sign of ill-breeding, as some
unkind people maintain. Tne fact is it
is just as natural for some . people to
blush on one occasion as it is for ethers
to turn pale on another. The same laws
of nature which gorera the one rule gov-
ern the other. The capillaries or small
blood vessels which connect the arteries
and veins in the body form, particularly
over thecheeks, a network so fine that
it is neeessary to employ a microscope to
distinguish them. Ordinarily the blood
j passes tnrougo tnese vessels in , normal
r" i - " t . I ......... t
votumes, leaving ouiy mo uuimat wm
plezion. But when some sudden emo
tion takes possession of the heart its
action increases, and an electric thrill
instantly leaps to the cheeks. The thrill
is nothing more than the rush of blood
through the invisible capillaries; the
color is nothing more than the blood just
beneath the delicate surface of the skin.
The causes that bring about this condi
tion in the circulating system are called
mental stimuli. They consist of joy,
anger, shame and the many other emo
tions. Sudden horror, remorse or fear,
on the contrary, influences the nerves
which control the blood vessels, and the
face becomes white. Blushing and pallor
result from the sudden action of the
mind on the nervous system; So if the
mind be forewarned and prepared for
emotions both habits can at least be par
tially overcome. But when the nervous
system is highly strung it would be a
life-long if not a futile task to endeavor
to effect a perfect cure. New York

FASIItON' KOTES.
There seems to be a mania ju3t now
for resurrecting old fashions.
Black satin and black cloth matte a
favorite combination this season.
Linen collars and cuffs are ragain in
high favor, but with a difference.
The short jacket with tight princess
back is to be popular for ladies' street
suits.
Wood violet is a favorite shade for
cloth dress, and is frequently combined
with brown.
The new silk hosiery imported this
season is embroidered in the daintiest
manner on the instep.
The high Empire belt of folded vel
yet is fancied, not only on bodice, but
also on heavy cloth coat and cloaks.
A new silk for evening dresses is peau
de chevette, resembling the always ele
gant peau de sole, but richer and more
nearly reproducing the surfaces of kid.
A BDrinir walking crown of lirht cloth
has a plain gored skirt, with a basqu
or jacket, fitting tight and reaching six
inches or eight bolow the r.aist,line,
even all around.
New felt hats of pale rose pink and
heliotrope are trimmed with violets,
heartsease or jonquils intermixed with
preen velvet ribbon, or with damask
o '
roses and ecru silk guipure lace.

drooping fall of lace around the brim, is
to have its turn now, if we may judge
from the spring hats wbic'i are sup

The narrow black velvet ribbon, with
colored edges, has come back looking
just as it did in the arly sixties. Even
the baby ribbon has colored edges. The

The very wide rivers known as the
"empire"' are most effective on house
dresses of scarlet, pink or blue crepon,
and though made of black satin, no
other portion of the gown needs to be of
the somber shade.
White petticoats of very thin, fiie

the black silk "' petticoat. Taey are
elaborately ruffled and puffed and
trimmed with late and embroidery.

popular.
Pearls and emeralds are profusely used
in lacepins, rings, hatpins or hair orna

Onals and torquoises are shown in
many fashionable nugs. Noc-claees of

The pompadour style in millinery will
be to the fore this summer. Tne new
trimmings embroideries and laces es
pecially are exquisito in their coloring,
and many of the straw hats are in two
contrasting shades. Some examples of
the latter are in brown and black, green
and black, and pink and black.
Velvet toilets are gaining in favor, vel
vet also being applied to ruches, trim
mings, flounces, etc. Metal trimming
is in vegue again. Steel and nickel go
well with gray cloth dresses, silver with
white or cream, and' bronze with brown
velvet robes. Bengaline, trimmed with
pearl tulle, makes an elegant toilet.
The new spring underskirts are per
fect marvels of beauty ia color and finish,
and it seems almost paradoxical that
these lovely garments should be covered
up with a plain cloth skirt. Bat at
least it proves coaclusively that milady
loves fine garments for their own sakes,
aad not simply for the sake of display.
A quaint reproduction of a real Marie
Stuart bonnet, and quite different, as
far as the crown is concerned from the
ordinary shape which goes by that name
is shown by fashionable milliners. An
especially pretty one has the crown of
bright emerald green velvet,made very
full, and edged ail around with fine jet.
POTATOES AS A MAIS CEOP.
The occasional profitableness of well
grown potato crops often leads farmers
to plan how they may devote most of
their land to this crop. No one 'ever
succeeds in doing this. The potato . is
so successfully grown on a clover ley
with very little manure, that the farmer
who depends entirely on purchased fer
tilizers cannot hope to compete. The
potato crop helps little towards making
manure. The refuse or small potatoes
may be fed during fall or winter, but are
of little value to make manure. De

occupy the land if it grow enough to be

TEE COWS CCD.
There is no such thing as a cow's cud
in the sense in which this term is often
used as a part of the animal that may be
lost. The cud is that of the food which
is brought up from the first stomach and
chewed over again, after which it is
again swallowed and goes directly into
the third stomach, where it is macerated
in the maniplies and then passed to the
fourth stomach and finally digested.
When a cow is tuffering from indiges
tion she may be unable, by reason of the
disorder of the stomach, to bring up
the food or cud, and this makes her sick,
and, if it is continued, she stops. eating.
The best thing to do in such a case is to
give a pint of raw linseed oil, and re
peat it if necessary, when the trouble is
generally removed. The cud is formed
by the compression of a portion of the
food in a small channel between tho first
and second stomachs and connected with
the gullet. It is about five inches in
length and two ia width. New York
Times.
MEDICINE FOB FAR1I AX1MAI.S.
A writer in the American Agricul
turist recommends wood ashes as a valu
able medicine forfarm animals. After
a large experience of twenty years in
raising swine he finds that his herds are
most effectually protected from hog
cholera by keeping wood ashes, rich in
charcoal, mixed, with salt, constantly
before them in & covered box, with holes
near the" bottom. The hogs work the
mixture out through these holes as fast
as they want it.
The idea of this writer is apparently
good. The phosphates which enter into
the composition of wood ashe3 are doubt
less excellent germicides. Animals in
oculated with the baccilli of Asiatic
cholera by means of infected food sur
vive the experiment because the germs
are killed or rendered inoperative by the
gastric juice. And it is well known that
the power of both men and animals to
resist almost any kind of infection is in
creased by strengthening the acids of the
stomach. The writer referred to ha9
found that the best condition powder is
a mixture of three parts of wood ashes
to one of salt. New York Herald.
TUT NOT TOUil FAITH IN QUIXCES.
A friend who has made the culture of
the quince a lifelong hobby and an un
usual success told me he had sold the
fruit as high as $14 per barrel, writes a
correspondent. "Why, then, does it
not pay?" you ask in surprise. , Simply
because the. barrels are so far apart, and
the prices aie frequently much lower.
Some seasons his best brought only $7,
while the culls sold at $2.50, and freights
and commissions had to come out of
this. Even these prices would not be
poor if the trees would grow and bear
say one -quarter as well as apple trees. I
have quinces set five years ago which
make no growth and no promise vet.
Other orchards that I know of have

My friend has 400 trees, some of them
thirty to forty year3 old, of most
varieties. When they bear he occasion

the time they have occupied the land,

RAIStXQ PLAKTS FROM SEEDS.
I wonder how many luckless amateure
will fail with their seeds again this year
end how many seedsmen will be unjustly
blamed for such failures! writes a corre
spondent. Many persons think it so
difficult to raise plants from seed that
they will not make even one effort to do
so; others have been so discouraged by
first failures that they are reluctant to
make a second attempt. The pity of it
is that most of them who would like to
raise flowers from the seed and fail are
unable to purchase plants, and so are
compelled to do without the beautiful
flower evangels altogether.
The trouble with many beginners is
that they imagine seeds may be sown in
any fashion, watered occasionally, and
success be assured ; when they fail to
grow under such treatment the seller of
them frequently gets the blame . for it.
Nothing is more certain than if seeds are
not planted as they should be, they will
probably fail to grow. The proper treat
ment for coarse, large seeds will smother
the life out of fine ones. They are
something like little children, we must
study their natures and treat them ac
cordingly, and in thij we may profit
greatly from the experience of others,
instead of waiting impatiently for results
fxom our own haphazard knowledge.
The best soil for seeds is a light, rich,
randy loam; any garden soil will do if
Iharoughly pulverize J, heated to destroy
i
insects and noxious seeds, sufficient sand
added to make it porous, and an abund
ance of well rotted manure worked into
it. There are, however,, some seeds
that will do better ia rather poor soil,
abronit, verbena, nastortium and a few
others.
Fine seed should never be sown deep,
and if very fine should be mixed with
sand, sown thinly over the surface and
pressed firmly down without covering at
all. Do not let the soil dry out,
keep it moist until the seeds germinate.
then zive a lizht spnakunsr of water
every night and morning. Do not pour
the water on, use a plant sprinkler, an
ordinary household syringe, or a hair
brush ; I prefer the latter, as it covers a
larger surface at ooce. . Keep the seeds
in a moderately warm place and shielded
from the light until they germinate, then
bring gradually into the light and sun
shine. If too strong a sun is given at first
the tiny plants will droop and die.
Wheuever the weather permits open the
windows and give the plants fresh air, or
on mild days carry them outside. Shield
them from heavy winds and. rains until
the stems begin to grow thicker and
take them in at night until all danger
from frost is over.
Verbenas, anrirrhinums and zinnias
will decay if given too much water. Do
not lose patience and begin to stir up the
soil if the seeds do not come up just
when you expect them; they are often a
little slow about starting wheh. the
weather is cold. It is better to sowonly
a pert of each packet the first time, then
if they do not grow after a reasonable
period put in the rest, first studying the
directions carefully. Do not allow the
plants to grow too large before removing
them to their permanent quarters In the

The New Bread.
The favor with which the new bread,
made with Royal Baking Powder instead
of yeast, has been received by our best
housekeepers and most expert bread
makers is really wonderful. "It saves
all the hard and tedious work of knead
ing and moulding,' writes one. "Less
than an hour from the dry flour to the
most perfect loaf of bread I ever saw,
writes anotner. "f icsn Dreaa every
day,1 says another, "and that the lightest,
fi nest and most wholesome, is something
to live for." "We relish the bread bet
ter than the old kind "it is ahead of
any yeast bread I ever baked;" "the
bread was whiter and softer." "Best of
all," writes an enthusiastic housewife,
"we can eat the Royal unfemented bread
when freshly baked, or even when warm,
with perfect impunity. It is actually an
anti-dyspeptic."
"This bread has a 'nutty taste, that
is peculiarly pleasing," writes still an
other. This is owing to the fact that
the active gas-producing principle of
the Royal is derived from tho pure
grape acid.
The great value of this bread arises
from the fact that in it are preserved all
the most nutritive elements of the flour,
some of which are decomposed and
destroyed byjthe aclion of yeast. The loss
of these properties is what makes fresh
yeast bread unwholesome. The use of the
Royal Baking Powder instead of yeast
is found to make a finer, lighter bread,
devoid of all dyspeptic qualities. The
same gas carbonic is produced as
where yeast is used, but it is evolved
from the baking powder itself and not
from the flour. Thereby the bread is
made more wholesome and actually anti
dyspeptic. The greater convenience,
where a batch of the finest bread can be
made and baked in less than an hour
with no danger of a sour or heavy
loaf, must be appreciated by everyone.
The receipt for making this bread is
herewith given, and housekeepers will
do well to cut it out and preserve it:
To make one loaf One quart flour,
one teaapoonful salt, half a teaspoonful
sugar, two heaping teaspoonfuls Royal
Baking Powder, half medium-sized cold
boiled potato, and water, bift together
thoroughly flour, salt, sugar and baking
powder; rub in the potato; add sufficient
water to mix smoothly and rspidly into
a stiff batter, about as soft as for pound
cake; about a pint of water to a quart
of flour will be required more or less
according to the brand and quility of
the flour used. Do not mske a stiff
dough, like yeast bread. Pour the bat
ter into a greased pan, 4x8 incLes, and
four inches deep, filling about half full.
The loaf will rise to fill the pan when
baked. Bake in very hot oven forty-five
minutes, placing paper over first fifteen
minutes baking, to prevent crusting too
soon on top. Bake at once. Don't mix
with mili.
Perfect success requires the most care
ful observance of all these details, and
the author of the receipt emphasizes
the statement that Royal Baking Powder
only can be used because it is the only
powder in which the ingredient are
prepared so as to give that continuous
action necessary to raise the larger bread
To every reader who will write the
result of her bread making from this
receipt to the Royal Baking Powder
Co., 106 Wall street. New York, that
company announce that they will send
ia return, free, a copy of a most prac-
tical and useful cook book, containing

of collar pads and boots for horses, and is a re
liable business man.
" Madison, Wls Jan. 20, 1S83.
Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
I cannot speak in too favorable terms of
the good qualities of Hood's Sarsaparilla. I
have had a bad cough for 2 years, coming on
after the grip. I tried physicians, went twice
to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, but all did no
good. I got a bottle of Hood's Sarsapa
rilla and it gave me relief at once. The sec
ond dose seemed to go to the rig- t spot I
afterward got ft bottles, and have taken nearly
all of it, and Know 1 am muca neuer every
way. ...
So manr medicines are advertised that do
no good, I would pot say anything In favor of
Hood's.Cures
nv unless I was fullv satisfied it was good and
worth trying. I believe Hood's Sarsaparilla

ufced it in my family for Bronchitis,
the result of Colds, with most ex

derived good results therefrom. I
