PLANTING GRAPE VINES. parasol It is 2 most graceful acoes- sion and is altogether charming. The costume parasol will be a , es feature in spring and summer fashions, and it is already hinted that the new styles are surpassingly lovely. Gilbert flannels are excellent fabrics for morning gowns, with accessories of velvet; fancy braid or a front of surah makes one more dress. The favorite colors are red, brown and blue, and the bright reds are very pretty trimmed with black. Such gowns are very de- sirable for the entire year, as there are many days in summer that they are most comfortable, particularly if one is not feeling well, or at the seaside. A model seen in Gobelin blue has the back cut off in a blunt point just below the waist, and a plaited skirt added; princess fronts cut away from the neck and the edge laid in two kilt plaits on each side over a plaited vest, and a narrow tablier of pale blue surah. The deep cuffs, pockets and high collar are ofthe light surah laid in small tucks. The same model may be made of white, with plaitings of yellow surah, each plait caught by a row of briar stitch- ing. The edge of the princess fronts in this case may be trimmed with gold galloon. All wrappers should be rather loose and perfectly easy for lounging. Striped Jersey flannels can be made very dressy trimmed with velvet acces- sories and moire ribbons—Brooklyn Eagle. Interest Every Farmer. As yearling vines are more easily trained than elder ones, they are usu- ally chosen to plant They will de well on any good corn land, but it is best to choose a southeast slope. The roots, which are often a foot or more long, should be cut back to eight inch- es, and must not be allowed to become dry; also cut the stem back to one foot. They should be planted-in rows running north and south, rows eight feet apart and eight feet between vines in the rows. The heles should be twe feet or more in diameter and nearly or quite eighteen inches deep. Plant the vine in the middle of this hole and fill in only enough to cover the roots to the depth they grew in the nursery rows. This will leave the hole ten inches deep, which should be filled up during the season, a little at each cultivation. Vines thus planted seem to better with- stand drought and frost. Before much growth of vine is made, some kind of trellis should be con- structed. Common fence posts set two rods apart in the rows, with two or three smooth wires, makes a good one. The top wire should be about four feet from the ground. Only one cane should be allowed to grow during the first year, and it should be trained up straight by means of a slender pole or lath attuched to the wires. When the leaves drop in the fall, cut this cane back, leaving only three strong buds, end cover the stub with a A Safe Investment, small mound of earth.

Leave them in this position until the IMEATRIGAL TEARS. leaves begin to swell in the spring, then tie up as before. By this method, which is essentially that recommended by Prof. J. L. Budd, of Iowa, the vines are in good form for future pruning. This should be done each fall, just after the leaves have dropped. All laterals should be cut back to two to five buds, according to strength, and too many spurs should not be left, as the object of this trimming out of old wood is to let air and light have free access. The vines should be laid down and partly covered with dirt each winter there- after in localities where they are liable to freeze back. In the spring, after the buds have begun to swell on ex- posed parts, they can easily be raised with a six-tined fork and tied to the wires of the trellis. Bones are espec- ially good fertilizers for grapes. They should be placed a foot or so deep near the vines. Roots have no trouble in finding them, even if a few feet away. —Prairie Farmer. + ee ____ HANDSOME SATINES. Beanatifal Dress Fabrics for Spring and Summer Wear. The lines of satines of domestic manufacture are very handsome and hold their own well beside the French goods. There is certainly a very de- cided difference in the patterna, but our patterns show handsome designs and a fine quality in fabrics. There are a number of reddish brown and other brown grounds, strewn with odd figures in gold color that are much ad- mired. These are thirty-two inches wide and sell at twelve and one-half cents a yard. All the new summer tints are represented and a handsome line was noticed in stripes and plaids with plain material for combination. One piece shows a wide stripe of Rus- sian blue alternating witha gray shade, and these are dotted with Persian de- signs and colorings. There are satines in red, brown and garnet grounds, with unique geometrical figures in yellow. Japanese designs also flourish in these goods and are particularly taking. The toile du Nords appear in in charming tints and colors and look as fresh and attractive as possible. These standard fabrics have a claim upon women folks that would be hard to obliterate. They wear and do up beautifully and are a pretty, desirable fabric, and the price is extremely moderate. Many of the Parkhill stripes are lovely, the Claghorns also showing beautiful colorings and varieties. The large plaids are also in charming mingling of tints, and most desirable school and country dresses can be made of the fine stripes represented on dark colors. Among the new stripes are those of various widths in the now fash- ionable solferino color with white, and thes ame style is shown in the various browns with white. Solferino is a color that was much liked a few years ago, but went out of fashion altogether. Recently it was resurrected by Worth who made rich dresses of it for nobility Their Physiology Discussed by a Famous Medical Periodical. The question of theatrical tears, and whether they be produced by the actor independently of reai emotion, has lately been discussed. The question is not without interest, and has been answered in various ways by different actors, some contending that the high- est art in this direction is only seen when the artist ‘‘fecls’’ his part; while others state that emotional conditions in the actor are fatal to the highest form of theatrical art To how large an extent our emotions sre under con- trol is patent to everybody, for much of our early education is devoted en- tirely to the formation of habits of control in this direction. Emotions are mainly reflex phenomena, and are produced as the result of thoughts, sounds or sights It is very doubtful whether an actor can stir up in his aud- ienee the higher emotions unless he abandon himself to the situation of the play, and himeclf feels to’some extent the sorrows or terrors of the scene. An actor who can only manage to stir the emotions of the most easily moved of his audience, whether to laughter or tears, has gone a good way toward success; for emotional states are so in- fectious that the sound or sight of tears or laughter is sure to cause the pre- vailing emotion to spread. The really great actor, however, must be capable of doing something more than merely touch the biggest fool of the audience —he must make his audience abso- lutely forgetful of itself, and be himself the direct, and not the indi- rect, cause of the emotional state into which it is thrown. To do this the actor must be himself a person of in- tense feeling, and must for the time experience the emotion he is seeking to portray. Really great acting is a matter of feeling rather than of rea- soning intelligence, and we doubt whether an actor who studies and puz- zles too much over the subtleties of the author is not in danger of checking the manifestations of his histrionic genius. It is a well known fact that Master Betty, the ‘infant Roscius,”’ could, as a boy, stir the higher emotions of the audience by his portrayal of Shake- speare’s masterpieces (the subtleties of which he most certainly could not un- derstand), but that his power was, so to say, knocked out of him by a uni- versity education, which probably brought home to him the shortcomings of his performances, and, by teaching him to reason about his character, pre- vented the feeling portrayal of the pre- vailing emotions. Two of the greatest actors of the present age—Salvini and Ristori—both belong to the emotional Italian race, and it is impossible to be- lieve that during the por’ al of their most successful parts they are not en- tirely forgetful of themselves and en- grossed by the emotions of the scene. —London Lancet. The plaids are outlined with fancy cord effects and are very pretty. Para- sols come to match many of these handsome goods and will be used alto- gether in Paris during the coming son.
