The Jersey COMO to stay,
I expressed some weeks ago any fondeess
for the jersey, and my hope that all per -
110118 of the worthy sex who know that they
have fine figures, or fear that they are too
lumpy for gracefulness, wiilgo on Patroniz-
Mg it. I am glad to find that the Grand
Duchess 'Vladimir thirlk8 as 1 do. Her feel-
ing on the sithjeot is that the jeriasy is the
highest effort of the dressmaking art, She
has it thin and she him it thick, with a
plushy ; she hes it high, and she has
it low. Of the low kindI have this week
been, shown a specimen. It is in salmon
silk. The upper edge is trimmed with a
ruche of raveled silk set on an elastic band,
which is faotened on at short distances.
Nothing can be softer or more fluffy.
One would think that with the first zephyr
the whole thing would fly off like thistle-
down, which in texture it resembles. There
are no sleeves, bet the ruohe forms a
shoulder band, and a pair of downy tassels
falls from the middle of this part. The
meagre -chested should not wear the low
jersey; but the plump, or too plump,
should adopt and oling to it obstinately.
What, you see, is 80 ObjeOti0118,b10 to modest
persons in a ball -room, is not the stripping
of hints, but the fowling up of roundness
toward the neck. That frontier line which
Miss Rose Cleveland spoke of in her letter
about low-cut waists, and which, unfor-
tunately, she did not define, is displaced in
the sense of upheaval, ;This is done not by
the corset if it be all well made, but by
the corsage. A jersey, low or high, forces
nothing, and lends itself to every undula-
tion, For this reason the stout and un -
statue -like should wear it both in and out
of the ball-room.—London Truth.
The rashionahle Girl's New walk.
The new walk is neither graceful nor
pretty. It is a kind of a waddle. The
would-be fashionable young ladynow tvalks
as if she had no joints nor firmness to her.
Everypart of her anatomy seems to shake
and wiggle as she goes. She comes down
hard first on one foot and then on the
other, seeming to rest her body alternately
on each of her nether limbs. Her cheeke
wobble, and so do her arms. 1 don't know
any better way to describe it than VD say
she waddles like a fat duck. I don't know
who is the originator of this fashion, but it
is evidently going to be the thing this win-
ter. All the girls put it on with their fall
bonnets, and all over the streets you can
see the little dears trying their best to be
ungraceful in their efforts to be up to the
latest " fad."—N. Y, Evening Sint.
Fl n ry Harmful to Children.
Children are overloaded with finery, de-
stroying utterly their childish charm and
grace ; for they are either pertly conscious

soil their fripperies—this being, with some

to the publio prase iipon this subject, with
a desire to pall the attention of fanners
and the public to the work the Ontario
Creameries Aeseeiatiop had in hand, and
hoping thereby to Melte sorne interest in
the matter, not only among the farmers,
but also those who :handled the butter as
*daimon, as well SS the censuming
public.
With the scarcity of butter that is likely
tO prevail in Ontario this winter,. it is a
great pity that we had not ten times tlae
number of e'reameries that now exist.
Again and again it has been stated in the
public) was that the butter of Ontario,
judged as a whole, is a blot upon the fair
naixie of the agriculturists of Canada. It
hat; been juatly claimedthat in the pro-
duction pf cereals and stock Ontario enjoys
a reputation second to no other oeuntry in
the world.; but in the quality of her butter,
the majority of "stuff " put upon the mar-
ket is a disgrace to the Province and to
those who produce it. The butter pro-
ducer, in common with the public, hold in
detestation the
ourosrAnomtINE srArrEn,
but did they ever coneider that the responsi-
bility of enabling oleomargarine to obtain
such a foothold in ether countries rests
with them 7 At the Fat Stook Show of
Chicago I bave tasted oleomargarine
which was in every way infinitely superior
in appearance and flavor te three-fourths
of the butt& that can be bought on our
markets and at our grocery stores. "Plow,
then, are the publio and the butter -maker
responsible for its introduction ?" Had
the butter -maker produced a better artiole
than he has been in the habit of doing, no
alia.nce would have °aided for the intro.
duction of a spurious article to replace a
genuine one; but when the spurious artiole
was, to all appearances and taste, superior
to tke genuine, a ready opportunity was
given for the spurious to obtain a foothold.
The public, too, I contend, are to blame—
the rural storekeeper in that lie pays the
same price for a poor article as he does for
a really superior one, if the makers both
happen to he customers ; and the public in
that they will not pay a sufficient
advanced price for a really A 1 butter. In
other .words—neither the storekeeper
nor the public are prepared to pay
for butter on its merits. I have
hail a little experience, through our
dairies, in dealings with the publio in this
matter, and, though time and a "stiff
back" have educated many of our patrons
to pay us a living price for a really good
article, it has required both to bring them
to that stage. When more than 30 oents
per pound is naked for butte the good and
careful housewife raises her hands in hor-
ror at such " extravagance ; " yet she
would consider that 30 cents'per quart for
good cream was cheap. She may be sur-
prised when I. tell her that by her paying
40 cents per pound for butter the butter -
maker does not realize as much out of his
cream as when he is paid 80 cents for his
quart of cream. It is a good gallon of
cream that yields three pounds of butter,
which will cost at least 15 cents to make
and market. Selling ;imam at 80 cents a
quart yields $1.20par gallon, but madeinto
butter, and selling as such even at 40 cents,
it only realizes 51.05 (after deducting the
15 cents for making). For this reason,
any one who is so situated that he
can sell his oreana an such will always
prefer to do so rather than convert it into
butter. Again, twenty-five pounds to thirty
pounds of ordinary milk are required to
one pound of butter; twenty-five pounds
of milk equal ten quarts. When delivered
at your door at 6 cents a quart—or GO cents
for the amount required to make a pound
of butter—you do not think it out of the
way to pay this price; yet butter at 60
cents a pound would be an unheard of
extravagance. The average price received
by butter -makers for a really good article
will not exceed 20 cents per pound. As it
requires ten quarts of milk to one pound of
butter, the farmer at this price is receiving

I repeat; it is constantly asserted that
both the quantity and quality of butter pro.
ducal in Canada are not what they should
be, and wonder is expressed that Ontario
does not take a more prominent positiOn its
a butter -making • country. Farmers and
farmers' wives are not singular when they
seek to produce that which is most profit-
able, and though a return in batter of even
2 cents per quart for milk= the farm may
appear to be a very small price, yet in
these days of mita margins Of profit in
farming it is a living One. Let the
public display more willingness to pay a
better price for a really super10 article,
and thereby give to the farmer's 'wife the
incentive of a profitable industry as a
stimulus to increase not only the quality
but the quantity of butter produced on the
farm, and I feel assured a great step will
he taloa towards helping on the batter
industry of this country. I have known
farmers' wives who, producing a really

felt that the extra pains necessary in the

not sufficiently apprediated then they

AuIi-J'overt;y Society.
As a result of the New York Anti -

been formed in many places in the United

providing that twenty menthere of the
society residing in any town or district
outside of Nev York City may form a
branch by adopting the constitution and
agreeing to affiliate with the parent society.
The condition of affiliation shall be the
payment to the parent society of a fee of
25 cents for each member admitted to
the branch, in consideration of which the
parent society shall furnish for each
breach member a certificate of member-
ship bearing the autograph signature of
the President and Vice -President. Itis

time having come fOT an motive warfare
against 'conditions that, in spite of the
advance in the powers of proaudion, con-
demn so many to degrading poverty, and
foster vice, crime and greed, the Anti -

object of the society is to spread, by such
peaceable and lawful means as may be
found moat desirable and efficient, a
knowledge of the truth that God has made
ample provision for the needs of all men
during their residence upon earth, and
that involuntary poverty is the result of
the human lawthat allow individuals
to claim as private property that which
the Creator has provided for the use of all.
Overfeeding infants.
Over one-half of the mothers of ohildren
are unable to nourish them naturally, and
a great number of the deaths of infants are
caused by actual starvation. On the other
hand, many deaths of infants are the
result of overfeeding. I recollect, in illus-
tration, a story told by Marion Harland of
some foundling or orphan asylum which
she knew. The mortality there worried
the two attending physicians greatly, and
they came to the conclusion that theliabies
were being fed too much. So they issued
orders to the nurse to feed each child but
once in every three hour, and resolved to
try that experiment for a month. At the
end of that time they were delighted with
the result. The deaths had decreased, and
the surviving children all looked rosy-
cheeked and vastly more healthy than they
had a few weeks before. They were ex-
changing congratulations, when one of the
nurses came to them with an inquiry as to
a modification of the rule with a very sick
Speaking with her about the case
they learned with astonishment that the
good health of theinfants of the institution
had followed a misunderstanding of the
doctors' directions by the nurses, who,
instead of feeding their charges once every
three hours, had fed them only three times
a day. I have no doubt as to the truth of
this, and the moral of the story at least is
worth the attention of mothers.
