Farmers.
SOME OF THE STUDIES IN WHICH THEY ENGAGE.
% ■ -
The Out-door Work the Pleasantest Feature of the
Course of Study.
Any girl In the United States. «'ho Is
ambitious to become a thoroughly prac-
tical tiller of the soil, knowing the
science of agriculture from planting
potatoes to feeding pigs, may now take
a complete course In farm-house educa-
tion and graduate a full-fledged farmer.
This has been made possible by the
establishment at St. Anthony Park.
Minnesota, of a Girls' School of Agri-
culture, under the direction of Mrs. Vir-
ginia C. Meredith, A. B., a practical
farmer of wide experience, and a wo-
man of culture and refinement.
Ten years ago The Farm School of
Minnesota was started to train boys to
become farmers. From forty students,
the school, which Is the only one of its
kind In America, has grown until now
there are five hundred boys under its
roof, who, after two winters' schooling
under the most capable men the State
can And, settle down as practical
farmers.
Of so much benefit has the school
been to the State that at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature money was ap-
propriated for th-* building and equip-
ment of a girls' school to parallel the
teaching given to the young men. Pre-
vious to this there had been many out-
cries against the unfairness of a sys-
tem that nrovided education only for
the boys, and in response to* the popu-
lar demand the repents of the Agricul-
tural College agreed to let the girls have
the use of the building and the benefit

which the plant food undergoes, and

LARGE EGOS TO ORDER.
How they Ware Made by aa

was ever bo large, but the secret lay in
the fact that It waa a composite egg.
Two bags of flannel were made, one
round and the other oval, the round
one being much the smaller. Into the
round one wes dropped at once the
yolks of eight eggs, nesrly filling the
bag. After the yolks were boiled hard
they were left until cool, snd then the
flannel was cut off. The whites of the
eggs were put Into the oval bag, and
the ball of yolkB carefully slipped in-
to them. When the whites had
cooked and cooled the second bag was
cut away. Experimenting was neces-
sary to find the right size of the bag*
for the number of eggs and the propor-
tionate size for the yolk alone and
the entire egg. It was another nice
point to allow for the second boiling
of the yolks without getting them too
hard and to locate the yolks In the
middle of the whites. This was most
satisfactorily accomplished by putting
half of the whites into the bag. then
dropping in the yolks and flntshing
with the rest of the whites. The
buoyancy of the whites maintained '.he
position of the yolk. Afterward '.lie

light tin cases made of the proper
shape and dimensions, but there is no
record of her having obtained a patent

HOW ITALY'S QUEEN SHOPS.
Stout Miirgherit* Is Very Fond of liAl-
lan Cookery.
The queen of Italy is much enjoying
her stay at Gressony, in the Italian
Alps, where, dressed in peasant cds-
tume, she climbs, despite her weight
and size, in good earnest, says London
Figaro. Her majesty is very popular
in the mountain villages and whenever
j she enters one is invariably received
with flowers and enthusiastic signs of
devotion. There is very little doubt
| that the tendency to embonpoint which
j so distresses Queen Marglierita is due
to her fondness for Italian cookery with
its oil, spices and pastry. She is espe-
cially fond of cakes fried in oil; spa-
ghetti, together with cheese and olives
and fritto, a compound of artichokes,
chickens' livers, calves' brains, and
cocks' combs. When there are no for-
eigners present at the royal board the
national cookery is always in the as-
cendant. When in Rome Queen Mar-
gherita's mode of sporting is, for a sov-
ereign,delightfully unconventional. She
rises early and summoning some fav-
orite lady-in-waiting issues quietly
from the courtyard of the Quirinal and
makes her way to the Corso. She will
then enter those shops that enjoy her
patronage, survey rapidly the treasures
held out before her, point out those
which appear to her desirable and leave
as swiftly as she enterrd.

standard of a country living at home.
There was general rejoicing, therefore.
when, a few weeks ago. the girls took
possession of their new buildings, a fine
structure of buff brick, affording agree-'
sble accommodation for sixty girls, and
two spacious buildings, known as "The
Creamery" and "The Barn."
For each pair of students there ts
provided a parlor from which extends a
sleeping alcove. For every half-dozen
girls there is a dressing room and a
bath-room. But. although the new dor-
mitory will lodge sixty girls, there will
be more than sixty girls to be lodged.
That number alone attended the girls'
session last summer, and they will
doubtless meet many new comrades
this fall. Tha girls are to take the same
course of high school studies as do the
boys In the preparatory course of six
months. Afterward the girls will do as
much work as their brothers, and per-
haps a little more. The feminine agri-
culturists will take the full course In
dairy work, in horticulture and fruit
culture. As extraneous amusement
they will learn things in the laundry.

Natural remedies and nature's meth-

to enable the student to apply their

mals to insects Is also to be taught, so
that the student may know both his

•ffhe Care of Teeth.
To brush the teeth thoroughly after
every meal is, on general principles,
supposed to be quite the correct thing,
and, unless cavities are discovered, all
that Is necessary to keep them In good
condition. Even dentists sometimes go
no further than this, and," whether

bring them patients, many of them
give no further advice. Teeth frequent-
ly decay In consequence of acids gen-
erated by particles of food that have
become wedged in between the teeth.
All acids at once begin work on the
enamel of the teeth, and soon make
tiny holes in It, or soften It so that it
wears away easily. When in this con-
dition it is easy to see that a stiff
brush vigorously applied Is anything
but a judicious form of treatment It
is important to clear the spaces be-
tween the teeth from all particles of
food, and this can scarcely be done
with a brush, no matter how thorough-
ly and carefully it may be used. Spe-
cially prepared silk thread, called den-
tal flo68, is excellent for this purpose,
but even this will not always suffice.
One of the best methods Is to draw a
thin rubber band between the teeth.
Spaces that will not admit dental floes
Or the finest quill toothpick can be
cleared by the rubber, which accom-
modates itself to all irregularities, and
rarely cuts even on the sharp edges of
broken teeth. The teeth a?e subject
to many ills, more or less serious and
obstinate. Receding and absorption of
the gums is one of the most hopeless
of difficulties, and if not taken in time,
scon make the teeth loose, and they
fall out, having no gums to support
them. It is said that frequent applica-
tions of fine precipitated chalk to the
gums in the early stages of this disease
will check it, and sometimei allow na-
ture to effect a cure. Persons who are
troubled with acidity of the stomach,
that disagreeable state of affairs when
"one's teeth are all on edge," will find
it an excellent thing to rir.se the
mouth and wash the teeth in water con-
taining a few drops of ammonia. This
is an alkali, and therefore neutral ixes
the acid, removing by this means one
of the most prolific sources of dl*eas»
and putting the mouth In an agreeable
and wholesome condition.
