Minister of Agriculture a distribution of superior sorts of grain and potatoes will be made during the coming winter and spring to Canadian farmers. The samples for general distribution will consist of spring wheat (5 lbs.), white oats (4 lbs.), barley (5 lbs.), and field peas (5 lbs.). These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of pota- toes (in 3 Ib. samples) will be carried on from several of the experimental farms, the Central Farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, All samples will be sent free, by mail, Applicants must give particulars in regards to the soil on their farms, and some account of their experience with •such kinds of grain (or potatoes) as they have grown, so that a promising sort for their conditions may be selected. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of, grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. Applications on any kind of printed form cannot be accepted. If two or mire samples are asked for in the same letter only one will be sent.

A good laundress tells Rural New Yorker that soft lingerie waists that are unstarchtd are improved by a borax water bath, which prevents their being "mused" so readily. One tablespoon- ful of borax is used to one quart of water and the waist dipped in this after it is washed and dried, wrung out, and folded in a towel till dry enough to iron. I+or some colored fabrics, such as cretonnes, bran water is advised. This is made by tying some bran in a muslin bag and covering with water, one part bran to four parts water, then sim- mering until dark brown. This bran water is diluted for washing and rinsing, but used without dilution for starching colored goods which are likely to show ordinary specks over the pattern. The bran water diluted for washing seems to prevent the colors from running. Most thin cotton goods, however, may have the colors set by rinsing in salt water before washing. i REST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD.

There is variety in color in the petti- coats brought out for fall and winter, but the tones are much softer than those featured during the spring and summer, says the Drygoods Economist. Crepe de Chine petticoats are much in demand, especially in the light pastel shades and white. The trimmings used follow along the ideas of last season, although more underlays of net or of silk are seen in the practical numbers. There is a tendency towards a revival of fringing as a trimming, particularly in garments retailing for $6 and under. The fringe is about 2M, inches wide and exactly matches the color of the skirt. The colors most favored in petticoats made of mescaline, jersey, charmeuse awl imitation silk materials are olive an.l myrtle green, mahogany, navy. Nattier and Copenhagen blues, taupe, tobacco brown, wisteria, purple sulphur and black, also plaited and striped patterns. Cotton petticoats have a very soft finish and are cut along lines which follow the silk styles as closely as pos- sible. The flounces are scant and show trimming effects worked out by the use of narrow bands of contrasting color fabric. Nothing Like It For Colas. Mrs. Holland Ferguson, Sheffield, N. B., writes: "Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, has cured my children and myself of severe colds. We are never without it in the house. There is nothing like it for colds and throat trouble, and it is so soothing and pleasant to take, my children would drink a whole bottle if they were per- mitted." To Remember in Buying Meat. The most economical rib roast of beef is the sixth rib; the juiciest, tenderest and highest -priced roast is the eleventh and twelfth ribs. A standing rib roast is better than a rolled rib roast. Porterhouse is the most expensive steak. Hip -bone sirloin is the best cut of sir- loin; it costs no more than the poorest cut. A rump roast is delicious and costs much less than a rib. The chuck makes excellent pot roasts and is cheaper than the round. Stews and beef loaves from the neck and chuck are cheaper than from the plate and plank. The brisket, plate and naval are the best for corning and boiling. ,The most ,expensive meats are not necessarily the most nutritious. -Coup - try Gentleman.

There are many things which vox human souls, year after year; thus, the letters with the checks never do on time er h me app .a , There are always rail- way wrecks, or collision with a freight, and the letters with the checks are a month or six weeks late. Vainly do we strain our necks harking for the postman's call; late the letters with the checks, or they clever come at all. But as promptly as the sun rises to dispel the shade, comes the letter with the dun -it is never lost or strayed. Rail- way trains may jump the track, bridges break, and rivers rise, trestles over chasms crack. mails be knocked con- trariwise; but the letter with the dun from the grocer comes to hand: "call upon me with the mon." is the mer- chant's stern demand.

I am highly pleased with "Fruit-a-tives" and ant not ashamed to have the facts published to the world. When I first started, about six years ago, to use them, I took four for a dose, hut I cured myself of the above troubles and gradually reduced the dose to one tablet at night. Before taking "Fruit-a-tives" I took salts and other pills but the treatment was too harsh. I thought I might as well suffer from the disease as from these treatments. finally, I saw "Fruit-a-tives" adver- tised with a letter in which someone recommended them very highly, so I tried them. The results were more than satisfacto-'y and I have no hesitation in r:•e• nnniemE ng then! to any other person. They lree done me a world of good.

Your verbs do trouble me so yet! Breakup -that was it!" "Why was she going to let her school break up so early?" "Because influenza had broken down in it." "Broken out. It is a bit puzzling, isn't it?" "Broken out • ah, yes! And she is going to leave the house in charge of a caretaker. as she fears it may be brok- en -How do I say that, please?" "Broken into, I expect." "That is it. Broken into by the burglars." "Is her son married yet?" "No; the engagement is broken in." "Broken off. Oh I hadn't heard of that! Is she worried about it? "He only broke up the news to her last week. Is that right?" "No; you should say just 'broke' there." "Ah, veil; I think I am nearly broke myself by those verbs of yours!" And he went sadly on his way. ®Tile Dominion Coal Company and officials of the Nova Scotia Workmen's Association have charged a three years' wage schedule, granting a six per cent. increase to miners earning less than $2 a day.

Mrs, Symmes in American Agriculturist, My little daughter wears bloomers instead of petticoats beneath her dress- es. 1 have learned to have most of her dresses for a season of one prevailing color, as blue, and then she can wear any pair of the bloomers with any dress, if needful. For best she wears the regular drawers and petticoats. 1 have learned not to buy material for afternoon dresses which one can see through, as it necessitates daintier underwear, and more washing and iron- ing. Pretty ginghams and linens are just as nice, and you can wear colored skirts beneath, and your plain corset covers. For common use about the house, I hem salt bags for handkerchiefs. The children are prone to borrow and never return them, also to use these articles for all sorts of purposes for which "hankies" were never intended, but salt bags are inexpensive, durable and plenty. A bottle of glycerine and bay rum, equal parts, is a cheap and, excellent preventive of sore and chapped hands. After digging potatoes it is very popu- lar with the good man of the house, who says it relieves the dry, unpleasant feeling caused by handling the pota• toes.
