A Sensible New Tennis Dress Evolved --No Strictly Golfing Frocks to Be Seen. For tennis heavy white skirts, well cut and quite short, are the rule, with short sleeves and. low-turned collars ruling favorites for the year. The tennis suit proper is a new idea just beijag developed,, and is now being fashioned in one piece with loose but well-shaped waist lines, short, full sleeves, and with skirt gored so that the extra fullness of the hem is well controlled above the knees. Heavy linen crash seems to be a well-liked fabric for these suits, with trimmings of small, scarlet buttons, and with accessories accompanying, consisting of crash-colored scarlet- clocked hosiery, tennis shoes that match, and hat with soft, rolling brim, made of stitched Crash or of panama, and' trimmed with a scarlet band. A scarlet belt is worn occa­ sionally. Bloomers of silk or soft linen are also worn with this style frock, eliminating the necessity of petticoats, that are always wrapping around one's ankles during awift plays. In the golfing world, dress that in­ cludes strictly golfing trocks is an unknown thing. Women revel in un- mated skirts and waists, observing only the following points, to wit: short and very full skirts; big sleeveB, elbow length, and made so as to al­ low full, unconfined play for the arms during the swing, and eyes shaded by a hat that may be pulled down upon the head and stay there, and equip­ ped with a very narrow brim. For wet days a good, serviceable sweat­ er is the most comfortable thing in existence. Waists of soft, colored or black gloria silk are worn under these sweaters, coming forth from the knit embraces, wrinkleless and unharmed by the contact of either sweater or rain. The sweater itself is nicely shaped, closely-fitting and buttoning in front and ia well equipped with snug, flat pockets that will hold miladfe little vanity neces­ sities, all of which, by reason of woman's inconsistencies, go forth with the links as well as the ball­ room. * Red jackets are no longer the rule, and although they are seen occasion­ ally upon the links, they have great­ er legendary significance than practi­ cal value. Skirts are now equipped with elas­ tic bands run in below the hips and buttoned there, so as to control the fullness of the ski^t. All skirts are short nay, above the ankles, and are made of linens as well as woolen ma­ terials, the cotton material standing the hard service attending golf play­ ing very well indeed. & CULTIVATING THE POTATO. The Merits of Level as Against Bill Cultivation--Better for Dry Weather, t «l two distinct wayg «f cul­ tivating the potato--level and hill cul­ tivation. The latter is the older meth­ od and many farmers still follow this plfcn, irrespective of the possible value of level cultivation. I believe that a good deal depends upon the year and the kind of potatoes planted. I have found, however, says a Will county (III.) correspondent of the Prairie Parmer, that I get juqf as satisfactory results from level cultivation as I used to get from hilling, besides I have the advantage of keeping my ground in better condition. During a dry year I have found DIDN'T BELIEVE Coffee Was the Real Trouble. Some people flounder around and take everything thats recommended bat finally find that coffee is the real cause of their troubles. An Oregon sum says: "For 25 years I was troubled with say stomach. I was a steady coffee drinker, but didn't suspect that as the cause. I took almost anything which someone else had been cured with but to no good. I was very bad last summer and could not work at times. "On Dec. 2, 1902, I was taken so the doctor said I could not live 24 hours at the most, and I made all preparations to die. I could hardly eat anything, everything dis­ tressed me, and I was weak and sick sll over. When in that condition cof­ fee was abandoned and I was put on Fostum, the change in my feelings came quickly after the drink that was poisoning me was removed. •The pain and sickness fell away from me and I began to get well day by day, so I stuck to it until now I sm well and strong again, can eat heartily, with no headache, heart trouble or the awful sickness of the old coffee days. I drink all 1 wish ot Fostum without any harm and enjoy It Immensely. "This seems like a strong story, but I would refer you to the First Nat'l Bank, the Trust Banking Com­ pany, or any merchant of Grant's Pass, Ore., in regard to my standing, and I will send a sworn statement of this if you wish.

A Number of Reel pes That Should £laaa| People That Dialilte the Us© of 011 v# Oil. - v ^ ' A£ I have found some do not like olive oil, which I hardly understand, I give recipes for other dressings that may be substituted: Stir together a dessert spoonful dry mustard, half a teaspoonful salt and the same of cel­ ery salt half as much white pepper, and a tablespoonful of butter; add the yolks of two eggs and beat well; pour over this a cupful of rich, hot milk, and set over boiling water to thicken, stirring all the time; lift at once and cool, then add two table- spoonfuls of vinegar and set on ice to chill. This is nice with any cab­ bage salad, says Mrs. McLogan, in the St. Louis Globe. Another cooked , dressing is made of the yolk of an egg, beaten, two tea- spoonfuls melted butter, a pinch of cayenne, one of salt and one of dry mustard; stir the butter and condi­ ments together,. add the egg, beat hard and add a cup of cream, the beaten white and lemon juice to taste; cook until thick in farina boil­ er, stirring constantly. A dressing of cream is liked with lettuce; it should be cold and sweet; add a level teaspoonful of salt to half a cup in a small bowl, stir well, adding gradually two tablespoonfuls best vinegar. The sweet dressing for fruit salads Is made by beating the yolks of two eggs light adding half a cup of powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. When the sugar is well dis­ solved add the juice of a lemon; very cold. serious objection to hilling the crop, for the reason that the greater sur­ face exposed by hilling aids evapora­ tion. In the accompanying sketch, which I have taken from a recent bul­ letin from the Maryland experiment Btation, is shown a typical potato vine. Suppose that the soil about this vine is hilled. The result is that the pota­ toes and roots are nearer to the sur­ face than if the land is level on three sides. I think that the point I wish to make is so clear that further discus­ sion is unnecessary. I must admit, however, that hilling the potato field with a shovel plow the last time through may have some ad­ vantages, particularly during a wet season--the surface potatoes are bet­ ter covered, perhaps, and the soil will dry out quicker. Concerning the for­ mer advantage I tliink that the farmer should, endeavor to select the potato ^that grows down and" thus avoid sun burns. I would like to have some readers discuss their experience In The Prairie Farmer telling why they hill their po­ tatoes. I think it will be found that when everything Is sifted down that some will become convinced that good many are doing some useless work and leaving their potatoes In a worse condition to reaist dry weather than would be the case with level cul­ tivation. is'fto better material 'fir Use In the construction of a cistern than Portland cement concrete. Such ma­ terial will make a permanent effective and sanitary receptacle for drinking water- If small cobble stones are available, these may be used in mak­ ing concrete walls with a saving in cement. If the cistern is to be in an exposed position, it would be well to make the upper four feet of the wall with a two or three inch air space, to reduce tendency to freeze. The inner walls of the cistern should be plas­ tered with a rich coat of Portland cement, not less than half an inch thick; and after this coat has set it should be whitewashed with two coats of pure Portland cement, the last coat being applied after the first has had time to become hard. In the illustrations, taken from Country Gentleman, three plans of ar­ ranging for the filtration of the water are represented in the ground plan. As shown, the filters are constructed on the bottom of the cistern after the concrete bottom and sides have been" completed. The filter consists of two Walls made from a good quality of hard-burned porous brick carefully laid In cement mortar, making the mortar no more than quarter of an inch thick, and taking pains not to get cement on either exposed face of the brick so as to clog the pores through which the water must filter. Lime mortar could be used in laying the brick, but the solvent action ot the soft water would in time carry the lime away and weaken the walls of the filter. The space between the two brick walls, which should not be less than 18 Inches In the clear, should be filled with a fairly fine clean sand. The filter should extend from the bottom to the top of the cistern, and the overflow from the cistern should b9 below the top of the filter, so that there can be no direct discharge Into the filter chamber. In figure 1 the filter is in the center of .the cistern, about three feet in inside diameter, and is formed of two single layers of brick laid flat­ wise. The water enters the outer chamber. A, of the cistern, and reaches the filter chamber, C, by percolating through the walls of the filter, as indi­ cated by the arrows. A cistern ten Play and Death. A game of cards has cost a Servian student in Vienna his life. His name was Isakowich. Between him a cousin named Rejlc, also a student in the Austrian capital, bad blood had sprung up, and Rejlc had so often threatened his life that Isakowich had resolved at last to give information to the police. Unfortunately, on the evening that he came to this resolve. Instead of carry­ ing It out Immediately he became so absorbed in a card party at a cafe that he played till nearly midnight, and had not gone far on his way home when he was shot dead by Rejlc, wh« had lain In wait for him.- The mur­ derer had made all prior arrangements for Immediate flight by train, but overwhelmed with remorse at the slgnt of his own murderous work, he turned his revolver upon himself and committed suicide. Big Pr^ce for Bare Coin. of the rarest American coins Is the five-dollar gold piece of 1822. One of these coins sold the other day for $2,165. The last owner of this par­ ticular coin had paid only six dollars for It. Not until about 20 years ago did It become known that the half eagles of 1822 coinage were scarce enough to be classed among coins that command fancy prices because of their rarity. There were 17,796 of them minted, but at the present time only three of them are known to exist. Be­ sides the one just sold there is one In the coin cabinet of the Philadelphia mint and another in the private col­ lection of Virgil M. Brand. HAMMER MADE OF PIPE. Very Handy Tool Which Can Be Kade . of Odd Pieces of Iron Piping. tdy hammer can be made for little. or nothing, provided one has some old ma­ terials on hand, says H. C. Stiebel, J r . , S t . L o u i s county, Missouri, in a late issue of Popular Mechan ice. Into a one- half inch tee (B) screw a piece of one-half-lnch pipe (A) about eight inches long with threads on one end and two pieces of one-half-lnch pipe (CC) 2y2 inches long with thread on both ends. On the ends (DD) put one- half-lnch caps. A larger hammer may be made by using pipe of larger dimensions, and the hammer can be made heavier by Mopping up the tee and filling the jbead with lead. Such a hammer as this has its lim­ itations, but for heavyweight work, less than what would be required for a heavy iron maul, such a hammer might be used to an advantage. IN DRY SEASONS.

Thorough Cultivation Will Hold Kola- .&• Ia Soil and Keep Crtps - r*' st/I' Growing. When rainfall Is short In the spring more careful cultivation is necessary, in order that hoed crops may grow steadily without a setback. Cultiva­ tion retains moisture and the harrow or shallow cultivator should be kept going constantly. Don't work wet soil, but after a light shower, stir the ground as quickly as possible to pre­ vent the moisture getting away. The dust mulch is a great benefactor to the farmer In dry districts. By using It carefully, enough moisture la re­ tained in the practically rainless dis­ tricts of Colorado to grow good crops. The secret of the Campbell system of Soil culture, explains Farm and Home, la to retain-what moisture is received by the soil and allow very little to es­ cape by evaporation. This is entirely possible and the great results attend­ ing this work are sufficient proof ef its success. Bine Grass His Only Pasture. The pasture that suits me best for the grazing of cattle is the blue grass pasture, writes an Ogle county corre­ spondent of the Farmers' Review. I cannot compare tms with other grass In wild pasture, as I have never, had any experience with pastures other than the blue grass pastures. My method is to buy my feeders in the fall, keep them on full feed In the winter and Jn the spring turn them on the pastures with a full feed of corn. Of course our pastures be Improved because there Is room for Improvement in everything. * . r* - * - $ ̂ . CISTERN WITH FILTER ARRANGE­ MENT (1, Filter In Center. 2, Filter at Side. t. Filter at End.) feet inside diameter and deep enough to contain 3,600 gallons of water, al­ lowing for the filter as represented in figure' 1. The filter Itself will have a pore space equal to a full third or more of Its volume, and so does not reduce the capacity of the cistern more than two-thirds of the volume of the filter wall. In figure 2 the cost of the filter will be less than In figure 1, but 'the ca­ pacity of the filter will be as much less as the filter wall Is less; still a filter of such a size would supply an ordinary family with an abundance of water so long as the depth of water in the cistern exceeded three feet If the cistern Is given the form repre­ sented in figure 3 it would be neces* sary to use two thicknesses of brick to withstand the pressure of the water when the water surface was much lowered on the filter chamber below that of the surface outside. If, how­ ever, the walls are*arched slightly so as to convex toward A then a single layer of brick will give a sufficient strength. The top of the cistern should be of cement concrete, either slightly arched so as to be self-supporting, or It may be fiat and reenforced by one or more I-beams resting on the walls of the cistern and filter. In any case the es­ sential point is that it should be water and vermin-tight The entrance way and overflow will provide sufficient ventilation but there should be pro­ vided a manhole to the filter B, and also to the chambers C, and A. The man-holes In the two water chambers are necessary to provide for occasion­ al cleaning; and there is a possibility but not a probability that the sand might need changing after a good many years. v^l&ka resembles other northern stations, having warehouses, docks, the Inevitable Greek church and ai score of wooden cabins.

Brlsben Walker believes that "No man can be truly a gentleman It a coward." "Fortune never helps the man whose courage fails." This is a bit of the wisdom of Sophocles. Says George Horace Lorimer: "No man is a failure until he's dead or loses courage--and that's the same thing." Sydney Smith long ago remarked that "A great deal of talent Is lost to the world -lor the want of a little courage." "When moral courage feels that it Is in the right there is no personal dar­ ing of which It Is Incapable," was Leigh Hunt's conviction. Said Rochefoucauld: "True bravery Is shown by performing without wit­ ness what one might be capable of do­ ing before all the world." "Fear, which only is another name for ignorance, is all that ails us. Un­ derstanding alone conquers fear." This Is the successful creed of Helen llams Post LATE CHICKS. Tendency of Late Tears Has Beso p Hatch Too Many--Make Good ' • Spring Layers. ' ? Once the late chick was considered of no account not worth hatching. Of late years the tendency has been to hatch too may chicks late. Per­ haps this Is responsible for a great deal of the poof fertility reported every spring. But the late chick as we get it and find it in the growing should be con­ sidered with more discrimination than is implied in the general dis­ cussion of "late hatchett" or of "June" "July" chicks, says Farm Poultry. It is not the time or - the seasen that makes or mars the chick.' These of course are factors, but more im­ portant are the conditions of the par­ ent stock and the conditions given the growing chicks. Some fowls are In better condition for breeding now than they were in the earlier months. These may reasonably be expccted to produce their best now. But from hns that are exhausted .. chicks need be expected. #!* Cut Off the Sprouts. When you get a few minutes to spare, out all the sprouts that have come up around the apple trees.

For some years she taught school, and became known as & woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest ad above seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderful! thfeiiCjPj&ure. In lllfnSie married Tsaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life urns marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three eons and is daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies- calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- Serience many of them gained a won-erful knowledge of the curative prop­ erties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest- fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex­ pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it wes her to sesreh These ouu. and prepare simple and effective medi­ cines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina­ tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu­ liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink- ham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it beeame quite popular them. All this so far was done freely, with­ out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen­ nial year dawned it found their prop­ erty swept away. Some other souroe of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter. With their mother, combined forces to fortune. Thejn; argued that the medicine which wasi, 6o good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for *Jif women of the whole world. | The Pinkhams had no money, an$~ little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots ana herbs were steeped on the stove^ gradually filling a gross of bottle®. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had givefi it _ away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham% . Vegetable Compound, and these weiW distributed by the Pinkham sons is ; Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties oC the medicine were, to a great extent* self-advertising, for whoever uaed ilka recommended it to others, and the do* mand gradually increased. ̂ \ In 1877, by combined efforts the fam­ ily had saved enough money to com­ mence newspaper advertising and froas that time the growth and success Of the enterprise were assured, until t<p>* day Lydta E. Pinkham and her Veg#. table Compound have become house* '* hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annii* ally in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward yeafs ' ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful exp»« rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to pre­ serve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every side woman who applied to her for advice-- and there were thousands--received careful study, and the details, includ­ ing symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast eollabora-' tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity una accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in tt£» world. 4 With Lydia 15, Pinkham worked her daughter - in - law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell direction of the work when its origina­ tor passed away. For nearly twenty-" five years she has continued it and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped he* pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With women assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs, Pinkham continues this great work.anifc probably from the office of no other person have so many women been ad­ vised how to regain health. Sick we- men, this advice is "Yours for Health* freely given if you only write to asfc for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. ham's Vegetable Compound; from simple roots and herbs; the great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the nohia woman whose name it bears.
