DINNER -TABLE NOVELTIES. One among the new touches that have beau lately observed in well-serv- ee dinners is that various condiments a -re no longer separately passed with raw oysters. Instead, in the middle of the plate on w.hich they are handed is se.en a lemon. It is °Pen at the top, and its contents have been en- tirely removed. It has then been fill- ed with a sauces made of tomato cats- up, honseradish and similar things to those used in an oyster cocktail. Be- fore eating them- each oyster. is tak- en up on the fork and dipped in the sauce within the lemon. It renders • them very testy, and the service is much more agreeable than the old way. One teip around the table is also saved in its service and this to not a matter of small consideration. The carving now, even at small home dinners, is generally done at a side table by the maid or butler. The dash should, however, first be pre- sented to the hostess that she, and in fact all at the table, may eee that it is in perfect condition. BY esliglit Movement of the head she indicates to the butler that it id td be carved. This. custom seems to be an A.merican one, end it. would there- ,be considered bad form to have it omitted. ie Eng- land, wharre Also 'the carving is done at • the aideboard, it is not observed. The idea of havingset places at the home table appears to be vanishing; and, with this exception of the hos- tess, members of the family stroll in and sit just about wherever they please. s Often the heads of the house ° only siE opposite to e.ach other on oc- casions of large dinners. White is at present the ultra -fash- ionable color for table decorations. It is seen in the flowers, the lamp shades and in almost all plaoes where bright colors formerly reigned. This feature was noticed to be preeminent at a din- ner recently given at one a the most fashionable New York bowies. The plates and every piece of china. that was used had been especially made in England, and they were of a fine pure white ware with a high luster. The only bit of color about them was the arrasm of the faily, done in green The table was profusely decorated with white roses and maiden -hair fern; and • quite a sensation was created by its • pure, refreshing aspeet.

The applicant in return is expected to coneuct the experiment atnetly in accordance with the in- structions and to forward a complete and detailed report as to the results obtained from the test. The ma- terial ia sent in good time for spring sowing if the applications are made in gooe time. The advantages of the plan pursued are obvious. Those who take part obtain pure seed of varieties whose excellence has already been proved to test on their own la.ndeenribling them to judge in a practical manner as to the particular kinds most suitable to their locality. By ascertaining thia a vast amount of labor and cost that might otherwise have been un- profitably bestowed on inferior kinds is saved and the returns of the farnt largely increased. One test made in a neilghborhood ex- ercises an important intluence over the surrounding tarmers, and by exciting an interest in the matter oll securing seed helps materially to improve the general standard of agriculture. The number of district experiments undertaken in 1899 was 23, the con- clusions arrived at by comparing the various returns received from 739 farmers being given in the Report. Among the experiments were: testing various lertilizera with porn and mangels; tatting '6 varieties of corn /or grain, fodder or silage; 4 varieties eaoh of millet, grasses, clovers, barley oats and peas; three varieties each of spring wheat, buckwheat, Yield beans and Japanese beans and several tests for root crops. Another experiment consisted in sowing peas at di,ferent dates to determine whetter the early or late sown were. raost subject to the attacks of the pea • weevil.
