A significant point of view is that
of the, head of a great English firm,
Mr. Seeholim Rowntree, -who has

arousing the classea to a keener

which are "so utterly pposed to
the great prineipIe of brotherhood.
Had they Played their part in mak-
ing us vitally conscious," writes
Mr; Rowntree, "that all our (zipper,
tunities and talents and possessions
lelhould be regarded, as a trust, to be
utilized not for our own ends but
for the benefit of the community,
we should never have heard of la

forgotten our trust that labor rises

HOW to Deal With Weeds Which
Contaminate Clover Seed Crops.
In tile preduction of alfalfa seed
the weed i to be especially watched
are ragweed, rilagrass bladder cam -
pion, trefoil and sweet clover. Usu-
ally it is only the perennial weeds
which contaminate the seed if the
killed -out and thin places of field
are taken care of with a scythe.
In alsike, the docks are sonae-
times common. They should be
pulled when in blossom after the
ground has been softened with a
rain, or they may be picked out
when cutting the seed and burned.
The campions, especially night flow-
ering catclatly or sticky cockle,
"t -when in blossom shoot up above the
.alsike and if not ton' thick may be
either 'pulled or the tops cut off
with a sickle. It would be neces-
sary to_ hand -pull wild inustaed-
from aleike and spud out any ox -eye
daisy. Trefoil is hard to deal with
in alsike. •
In red clever- most of the wild
;mustard diseppears with the first
cutting. The rest must be hand -
pulled. Docks should be cut or

perennials must be dealt with in a

seeds are altogether too common

and is most easily removed from the

COIFFURE MODES.
A word on the subject of fashions
hairdressing cannot came amiss
when the ecaserths fashions are con-
sidered. And certainly the vista,
opening before us is a pleasing one,
Lor there is a charming simplicity
characterizing the new modes whieh
eennot fail to appeal to artistic and
cultured taste.
Indeed, this ejenplicity is the key-
note of the new modes in hairdress-
ing, elaboration being avoided in
every way, and it is "more enatter
with less art," or rather, the art
which disguises art, that is con-
spicuous, that has been the case csi
recent years. In Paris this feeling
is carried alnaost to an extreme, and
some coiffures are seen in which the
hair is plainly tucked up on the
neck in a manner almost unpleas-
antly reminiscent of the eerly Vic-
torian net.
Leaving such exaggerations on
one side, however, there can be no-
thing but prates for the gracious
swathing of the head with plain un-
twisted coils. "
LARGE HATS -
Hats are immense, and there does
not seem any prospect for the pre-
sent of their growing smaller. They
are veritable cart wheels, and ac-
tually much larger than the wheel
of a perambulator. Much of their
effect depends upon the angle at
which they are pinned upon the
hair.
It is not always easy to succeed
with this angle, and a hat bought
in a shop is, consequently, occasion -
3,11y a very bad disappointment.
There ought to be laws of latitude
and longitude whereby the purchas-
er might learn exactly the angle
which the brim should bear to the
line of the eyes.
_Those who dislike large hats have
the alternative, and a very agree-
able one, ef the rather large tur-
ban, with the trimming massed on
the top, or one straight feather
standing up et the left side. An-
other alternative equally agreeable
is that of the 'plateau," which can
be arranged before the looking glass
in as many curves as may suit the
wearer.
RETURN OF THE GIRDLE.
The colored sash and girdle is
coming back, this pretty fashion
which has been lost for the past
few years in the vogue for Empire
and one-piece effects, will be vsel-
corned by many. There is, no doubt, -
that a t,ouch of color ei; the waist
line adds greetly to the becoming--

WHITE PIQUE IN VOGUE.
White pique is being revived. It
is seen in coats, suits and dresses.
A rouleau effect of a very simple
nature en the skirt is the latest
note in these plain frocks. It is
shown on one made of white pique
which has a waistband of povenche-
blae silk, a piece let in on the neck
of the same; also pipings on the
sleeve.
A. broad band of black velvet rib-
bon on which blue buttons are
mounted, appears on the blouse,
and is brought down to front the
waistband.
The fulness necessary for walking
is secured by the arrangement of
the slight draping of the side panels
of the skirt into the back panel. The
front panel is, of course absolute-
ly plain. The effect is of a double
skirt at the side, and the arrange-
ment, while it requires to be man-
aged by a master hand, has an as-
sured popularity before it in the
plain summer freeks.

or finWeing, but as the introducer of
a gad filiekle for the white steelt,
IV never being flogged, and by ins
ability at tasting cheese,. Then
Brummel went to Oriel College,
where he made hie merit by a stud-
ied, indifferenee todiseipline„.a dis-
ibe of study, arid an aversion to
tRel forke, long before silver ones

he left college at the age of eeven-
teen, having been there leas than a,
year, However, if he had little
learning, he had learned two things„
hew to gain eelebrated friends, and
how to ent any of his acquaintances
who eeased to be of any benefit to
him.
JOINED THE ARMY.

the Tenth Hussars of which
George, PrinceEeent, sfterwar4s
George IV., was oolo 1—a revs
meat of fops, tbe most expensive,
best -dressed and worst-moreled in
the British army,
A walk Brummel chanced to take
en the terrace of Windsor was a
lucky eircumstanee for him. The
prince -colonel observed him, asked
who that exceedingly well-dressed
person was, aud the Beau was in-
troduced. An acquaintenee was
followed by an intimacy which later
the coxcomb developed into un-
bounded ilepudence.
By this etep his repntation was
Made, which he kept up for some
years. He bad an immense fund of
good, but not witty sayiuga. His
friends pronounced him a charming
compa,nion, he entered the highest
eircles of England and his rise in
his regiment was rapid. In three
years he was at the head of the
troop, to the disgust of the alder
officers.
In 1798 Brummel sold his com-
mission, His reason for it was ne-
ver thoroughly explained, but the
unsettled state of Europe at that
tittle rendered it highly probable
that his regiment might be sent in-
to active service and he preferred a
drawing -room to a battlefield.
PRINCE OF BEAUX.
He then commenced the profes-
sion of a beau, and became known
as the Prince of Beaux, while his
patron was called the beau of
princes. At this time he was per-
fect in point .of figure, with an in-
telligent but not a handsome fee.
He had light brown hair, a nose
somewhat Roman'and a beautifully
shaped hand. Dress at that time
became very untidy. Many of the
leading men of the day affected
supreme contempt for all outward
adornments and the mode of a gen-
tleman's dress had come to be as
slovenly as possible.
Brueinnel, who had been conspic-
uous from boyhood for the neatness
of his attire, now determined to be
the best -dressed man in London.
He took care to display to the best
advantage his fine figure in a per-
fectly -fitting frock coat. But his
chief forte lay in hie cravat which

be spoken of afterwards as "a house

A BRAINLESS PRINCE.
Brummel dined with the prince,
and, carrying his impudence a little
toe far, he requested the regent to
ring the bell, He did so, and when
the servant elute he ordered "Mr
-
Drummers carriage." It may have
been the remark made some time
before about the Beau having made
the regent, er it may have been the
sarcasm an the prime's corpulency,
but, at any rate, the bell was rung,
and it sounded the knell of Brum-
mel, who, however, had a little re-
venge,
The prince prided himself an his
figure, and Oa he grew broad with
years and good living, resorted to
stays to preserve it,. The Beau,
meeting him in company with an-
other gentleman, inquired very
coolly, but loud enough for the
prince to bear: "Who is your fat
friend'?" The eoolness, presump-
tion and impertinence of the ques-
tion, perhaps the very best thing
the Beau ever said, cut the prince,
but gave him the nickname of Dan-
dy Killer.
For a while Brurrunel patronized
the regent's brother, the Duke of
York, but he soon got deeper and
deeper in debt. He struggled along,
and often, with some success, to
keep his place among the dandies
and wits. Creditors became trouble-
some, he received the nickname of
George the Less in contradistinction
of the prince, who was called
George the Great, and he came to
the conclusion that it would be bet-
ter to cross the channel.
For the remainder of his life the
Beau lived in. France, part of the
tune in a government consulship
position, and the remainder of the
time supported by his former
friends. He finally sustained a
paralytic shock, from which he ne-
ver reeovered. His creditors closed
around him and he was cast into
prison. He showed signs of imbe-
cility; all care of his person went,
and from carelessness and disease
his habits became so loathsome that
an attendant could hardly be found
for him. ;Admission was at last ob-
tained for him into the asylum of
the Bon Sauveur, Caen, where he
died on March 30, 1840.

HEALTH HINTS.
People oft -en suffer from weak,
undeveloped lungs without suspect-
ing it. True, small, feeble lungs
are usually associated with a small,
narrow, or 6:oaken chest, but not
invariably. By means of the misuse
of physical culture it is possible to
develop large chest muscles, thus
acquiring a big chest Measurement,
while the lungs remain small and
ill -nourished.
Again, lung mischief is often so
slow and insidious in its approach
that the trouble is not discovered
until it is firmly established. Here
however, is a simple test which will
tell you whether your lungs are
healthy or not
- Take as deep a breath as you ca
and then, in a slow but distine
Aroicre count 1 rem one onwards as
far as you can without taking
more breath. The number of sec-
onds you can continue counting i
a pretty reliable index to the stabe
of your lungs, so you should hai
someone to time you.
