ITEMS FOR LADIES. I July is a favourite month for Rcyal weddings. It seems to be decided that Princess Maud is to be married early in July. Other members of the British Royal Family who chose it were the late Princess Alice, on July 1st, 1862; Princess Christian, July 5th, 1366 her daughter, Princess Victoria, July 6th, 1891; Princess Beatrice, July 23rd, 1885; the Duchess of Fife, July 27th, 1889; and the Duke of York, July 6th, 1893. Last week s Drawing Room was a smart" func- tion, and was attended by many ladies in whom the public has taken, or still takes, deep interest. There was the witty and fascinating Miss Magot Tennant, now Mrs Asquith, and pretty sure to be a peeress some day. She wore her favourite bright cherry colour, and had a very original train entirely made of transparent chiffon, unlined with anything any heavier than itself, and trimmed with quantities of most lovely lace, a costly modern replica of some priceless old rose point. In itself it is a very valu- able piece of work, being remarkably fine. With Mrs Asquith was her brother s wife, presented on her marriage, and wearing her wedding gown. She carried a lovely goodyear bouquet of mauve and white orchids. The Duohoss of Marlborough was presented on her marriage in a wonderful wedding gown, with five flounces of magnificent English point and rich satin train bordered with finest pearl and silver embroidery, four inches wide. Her great height marks her out in a crowd. She has a girlish look and a very ingenous expression. She was presented by her mother-in-law, the Marchioness of Blandford, who is still one of the prettiest women in England. With her were her two daughters, the Ladies Lilian and Norah Spencer-Churchill, dressed alike in snowy satin and brocade. The Duchess of Westminster looked as charming as ever, with her soft bloom, in cream and gold brocade and train of English satin strewn with drifted tulle and geranium blossoms in every colour. The Duchess of Portland wore a very remarkable looking dress of white satin, with enormous square epaulettes of silvered net. The front of the bodice was draped with similar net and some very beautiful lace, some of which was disposed on the skirt, which was embroidered up the front and sides with long sprays of silver and dia- mond narcissi and green leaves. The train was white satin. The Duchess of St klbans, in mauve and black and old rose point, presented her young- est daughter, Lady Alex. Beauclerk, the latter wearing a girlishly pretty presentation gown. It was intended that the Duchess's newly-married daughter, Lady Katharine Somers Somerset, should have been presented at the same Drawing Room by her mother-in-law, Lady Henry Somerset, but the list was already full, and the two last named ladies have had to postpone going until June. The gowns which illustrate the stirring drama of Cheer, boys, cheer j at the Shakespeare Theatre are indeed costly and magnificent examples of Worth's genius. I doubt if the great firm has ever accomplished anything finer than the costumes in the liurlingliani polo scene and those of the re- ception in the last act. The whole panorama of modern fashion is seen at a giance, forming a valuable object lesson in dress as it is and is to be. A gown of soft heliotrope silk is bordered with large purple pansies all the way round the hem, each pansy centred with a brilliant. A single row of pansies is set from waist to hem down the left side. The bodico is veiled in sequined lace, and the corsage arranged with heliotrope velvet. The sleeves, which are draped it silver sequin chiffon, are looped up with pansies and held in place by shoulder straps of brilliants. A black satin princess robe is sumptuous. The entire front of the skirt is painted in a design of pink ros-s and foliage, and slashed at the back with pale green satin bordereu with black and silver sequins. The sleeves are slashed with black satin, bordered with bands of black and silver sequins, intersected with loose puffs of pil.k chiffon and displaying, in some marvellous manner, the lining of pale green satin. Exquisitely simple is a costume in black jetted crape, with the decolletage uudined by a broad band of cut jet, and the frilled sleeves caught on the shoulders with diamond buckles. Another reception dress of black satin is pannelled with jet, and has a wonderful bjdice of black satin and jetted white tulle arranged crosswise in folds, a row of brilliams accentuating the contrast between black and white. Much puffed sleeves, one of black satin, the other ot white tulle, and a waistbelt of brilliants complete this original costume. An evening cloak of ruby velvet, lined throughout with white satin, is adorable. The large sleeves are of embossed white satin and velvet and voluminous folds of white chiffon encircle the neckband, aud form smart, bows in front. A large clasp of brilliants serves to fasten the cloak at the left side. 1 should like to say H. word aoout the vivid- culoureli straws which have now made their appearance. These cerLainiy lOOK very bright without being as vulgar as one might have expected; colours aro certainly not mixed pell mell as they were last year for one thing. Hough fancy straws lovely shades of brown, moss green, and a subdued tone of cedar, are the most fashionable tints which meet my eye. Bonnets as well as hats have a some- what broad effect gained by the trimming. The shapes themselves are not large. This wide look is obtained by projectmg arrangements of lace, tulle, an.i ribbon, between wliioti are placed groups of flowers, generally speaking without foliage of aLY kind. Specially becoming to the matron are the lovely purple shades 01 the polyanthus, primula, petunia, and anemone worn in black bonnets, the auts naruiouisiug v\itii iiie taolnonable dresses of the same shade of colour. One hat I recently saw may interest my readers. It was a large cedar- may interest my readers. It was a large cedar- brown straw, the trimmings wide gros-grain, green shot, with cedar, crimson roses, aud line cream lisse frilling. The ribbon in front was put on I broad and low, whilst behind were only two or three upstanding loops to form a background to I mass of crimson bloom nestling in its own foliage. The whole effect was softened by the dainty lisse I frilling edged with fine lace of the same shade. This mode of toning down the bright flowers or colours in a hat or bonnet is becoming quite popular. A word as to the growing popularity of the loose backed coat. Some of these models seem to have been brought out merely for the sake of having I something new to show. To my mind, the baggy sacque coat is somewhat grotesque and very un- becoming, except perhaps in cage 0f a few 8]jm figures. I tl ink nothing loofes so smart as the neat little beige jackets which our fashionable women are adopting for morning spring wear. A great improvement to these is made by adding cuffs and reefers in various shades, such as brown, black, or dark blue velvet. However, I must confess that some of the sacque jackets are very smartly modelled, one of the best being cut with a yoke at the back, and from this yoke the fabric is pleated in and stitched down, flaring slightly below the waist line, but not so much as -to cause any ripple effect. Another popular model has double-breasted fronts, a little curved in at the darts, the back rather close fitting, leg of mutton sleeves and wide plush or velvet collar and cuits. I think I may venture to assert that such a jacket will be, always excepting the cape, the most Papular outside gar- ment this spring. By the way it is no longer good form to ornament the front of our knock-about jackets with large metal or light mother-o'-pearl buttons, decidedly smaller ones 0f cloth like the coat, dull bone, or smoked pearl taking their place. It is a good thing too to see such barbaric orna- ments disappearing from ladies' attire. As to materials, silk velvet is very popular for smart visiti.ig capes and coats, rich lace passementerie or sequin trimming giving the necessary artistic finish. Very dressy capes too are laiade of combina- tion of satin and lace with jet or chiffon ruching as a garniture. If golf and the other sports of the out-of doors are to make our girls loud-voiced, ill-mannered, un- ga.inly, in a word nnfeminine, it is high time to protest against their continuance. We want the chaperon in excelsis, it seems to iiie. It were better that our women were veiled and cloistered. like the women of the unspeakable Turk," than that they should bring such reproach against the sex. When the first New Woman put forth her hand in the garden of Eden and plucked the forbidden fruit, did some faint presage stir her blood of the genera- tions of women who were to inherit her idiosyncra- sies and to perpetuate her follies ? These ebullitions of the sex, these occasional revolts against national decrees which pain and initate us, what are they, after all, but some savour of the old Eve showing itself in a new form in a later age ?

ACCIDENT IN THE MILITIA CAMP AT DOLGELLEY. A SERGEANT SHOT. An accident of an alarming nature occurred on Friday last at the 200 yards i,anke where the Car- narvon and Merioneth Militia were practising musketry. It appears that Sergeant Boneham, a native of Leamington, bad been told off to mari- the targets. He took shelter behind a butt" made of earthworks, but a bullet from one of the new Magazine rifles now in use Penetrated through the 10ft. of earth which made up the butt struck the unfortunate man below the shoulder blade, and finally lodged itself just beneath the skin of his right breast. He was conveyed in an ambulance to the camp, where the bullet was extracted by Drs. Griffiths and J. Edward Jones. The wounded man passed a fair night, and was on Saturday re- moved to the hospital at Wrexham. An Engineer and a body of men were ordered to strengthen the shelter and musketry practice was for a time abandoned.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. Oar experiences oF the of last few years have been far from pleasant, in I 1893 it was a period of excessive heat and drought, broken at the middle by a day or two of light rain- f«U that did little elsp. than aggravate the mischief. In 1894, on tbe 20rh of the month, occuired one of the most disasirous frosts of recent years, tlH-, effect of which was prac-ically to ruin the fruit crop. Last year, after an untimely foretaste of the dog days, the temperature during the third week of May fell so low that it seemed as if winter had returned, and yet before the month closed the heat again became o. intense as to bring with it the hottest day in May for nearly 30 years. The month, upon the last week of which we have now entered, can leave behind it no claim to graeful recollection on the part of agricuh urists. It has been dry, hot, and dusty, aud the atmosphere has been rendered harsh by the persistence of unseason- able winds. In the early days of hint week the drought was maintain d in full force, and the thermometer registered the highest readings of the year. If dense clouds at times obscured the skv they kept their contents to themselves, and there was no downpour such as had fervently been hoped lor. At the mi.Id;; of the week boisterous winds set in from the north, causing great discomfort to sheep that had just been relieved of their fleeces. For the remainder of the week only cloudv skies were the rule, and in many districts there were light falls of rain-the first for weeks. But there was no general break up of the drought, and no downpour on a generous scale of the much-needed rains, the absence of which is day by day becoming mere serious in its effects. Such transitory showers as visited manv localities last week serve only to malt" the see 1 that has been lying for weeks in dry and dusty I y seed beds; then, no more moisture being available either from above or from below, the young seed- lings forthwith perish. Mangel seed is at, best slow to germinate, so that it has come up verv irregu larlv. Meanwhile, the fields have become smothered with surface weeds, amidst which the drill-rows are so imperfectly defined by the mangold seedlings that it is impracticable to set the hoes to work. Hay- making-" seeds" and upland meadow—was in pro- gress in several districts last week, and this week sainfoin is being mown. The crops are but shadowy realizations of the abundant promise they held out six weeks ago, but in the proverbial uncertainties of our climate there- is always room for the hope that the weather may undergo an entire change, and a big aftermath growth would follow a spell of heavy rains. The wheat plant is holding on bravely, but barley, especially that sown after the broken weather of March, is making poor progress, and the same is the case with oats. With field crops merely marking time, we must look elsewhere for evi- dence of continued earliness of the season. In the hedgerows the dog-rose, the maple, and the elder are in bloom, and the flat head of ilowers of the guelder rose is to be seen side by side with the fast-ripening fruits of the related shrub, the way- faring tree. On the wind-swept downs, instead of the soft cushion of fine green grass which would now be seasonable, are bright carpets of the yellow lotus and of the lemon-coloured hawkweeds, with clumps of the wiry rock-rose, of the variously- tinted polygalas, and of the slender stocks of the purging flax. The sheep's scabious, moreover, is in flower unusually early. By streamsides the yellow flag and the snakeweed, in meadows the white oxeye and the flaunting sorrel, and on arable lands the field scorpion grass and the blue sheradia are in bloom, and, as is usual in droughty seasons, are expediting the production of seed. Of grasslands, only water meadows are doing well; pastures which should now be filling up with the grand flush of grass that normally comes with June have received a check from which, excepting in specially- favoured localities, they cannot be expected to fuller recover this season, even if the weather should change for the best. The pastoral outlook is dimmed to an extent which a few weeks ago seemed barely possible, and purchasers of store stock who fully expected to have to rise to sellers' demands again find themselves in a position in which they can dictate terms. In the week ended May 16th there were 140 out- breaks of swine fever in Great Britain. The num- ber of animals slaughtered as diseased or as having been exposed to infection was 1,856, made up of 1,797 in 38 counties of England, 22 in two counties of Wales, and 37 in six counties of Scotland. INSECT PESTS. A month ago we called attention to the early abundance of insect pests, and referred to various methods for checking their attacks upon crops. Recent observations serve to show that the mis- chief has been much aggravated during the spell of bright droughty weather, which has since prevailed. The last two winters, antagonistic as they were in character, were alike favourable to the preserva- tion of insect life. It is the fairly open winter, with frequently recurring intervals of sharp frost, that is especially fatal to insects. A few days' sunny warmth in January or February will lure the small creatures from their hiding places, and one night's sudden and severe frost suffices to destroy them. In a winter like that of 1894-95 they are not to be enticed out of their snug retreats; in a winter like that of 1895-96 there is no need for them to remain in concealment. Wide fluctuations of temp2rature and frequent alternations of freez- ing and thawing are the winter conditions most inimical to insect life, and the last two winters have not furnished these conditions. The results may now be seen in field and garden and hedgerow. The newly-seeded cruciferous crops turnips, swedes, rape-have scarcely made any show yet or they would probably have suffered as much from attack of fly above ground as other crops have from the ceaseless ravages of wireworms and simi- lar subterranean pests at the roots. Where condi- tions have permitted of germination the surface caterpillers or cut-worms "—the larvae of certain night-flying moths-have made short work of the seedling plant by biting through the neck oif collar —a procedure as fatal in effect as it is simple in execution. Hazel, hawthorn, blackthorn, and other hedgerow shrubs are disfigured by swarms of leaf-rollers and web-spinners, the presence of which renders the foliage filthy and repulsive. In gardens neglected gooseberry trees have been stripped of their loaves more thoroughly than a sheep is shorn of its fleece, the culprit in this case being the grub of the sawfly-Nemutus ribesii. Apple and pear trees are the involuntary hosts of a variety of uninvited guests whose depredations demand a prompt resort to repressive measures. Strawberries and roses are smothered with aphis, but here again cultivators who will take the trouble may reap the reward of their exertions. An eye should be given to the asparagus beds, which are just now infested by the handsome httle cross- bearer beetle, Crioc-eris asparagi, and the female is laying her eggs, according to her fashion, with almost geometrical precision upon the shoots. The slender eggs are glued at one end to the plant, from the surface of which they stand out perpen- dicularly in the most conspicuous manner. The olive-coloured larva; will shortly be emerging from these eggs, and a syringing with warm water fol- lowed by a sprinkling of soot on the ground where the grubs havel fallen may be oonducive to the welfare of the asparagus bed. It is some years since there was such a general abundance of insect pests, and it is desirable to keep a sharp eye upon crops of all kinds-mere superficial observation is useless. LUCERNE. The dry seasons we have had have brought many farmers to look mere favourably on luncerne as a forage crop. Apart from the fact of dryness, it is quite evident that lucerne is not grown in the United Kingdom anything so extensively as it merits. With dry seasons it would be extremely valuable. It is a plant which does not need much rain in fact, where there is a heavy rainfall it is not at all a suitable crop. Although the best time for sowing lucerne is April, it may be got in during any month up to September. The general way is to "sow lucerne with wheat or some other cereal crop, but the practice is not good it is better to sow it alone, because the crop can be easily cleaned, and it is necessary this should be well done, for in its early goowth it will soon be overrun with weeds and practically destroyed. In seasons when red clover would be entirely burnt up, luceinn will stand and thrive, and it has the advantage of mak- ing excellent bay if care is taken in the operation. Those who may contemplate growing this crop will be glad to know that it is a plant which will with- stand low temperatures, and in this country it would rarely suffer from the frosts we experience. The stems of lucerne vary in height from one to three feet. They are branched, and provided with abundant foliage, the leavss being compound and trifoliate, and the flower blue or violet coloured. The stout underground stock, or rhizome, has no btolons, all the branches ascending directly into the air. It is this character which prevents lucerne from covering the ground completely, and so leaves space in which weeds make headway, to the detri- ment of the lucerne. When the stem is cut the stump dies, but the buds on the rhizome formed when the stem was growing in the air begin to shoot and become new branches. During the first year of growth the root penetrates the loose soil to the depth of about two feet; in a rich soil full per- fection is reached in the second year, and if the soil is poor only in the third. Generally speaking land after lucerne should be broken up after a ley of the Continent th 're are lucerne plots which are at j ioudv a quarter ot a century o<u. But generally j speaking, the ,ield gr.»uiy diminishes after the snorter time mentioned. The crop commences at the end of April or the beginning of Mav, and it. is important to cut some lime before flowering. otherwise the stems harden and in that condition are not s.) readily eaten by stock. TOP DRJ>SINGS. Nitrate of soda is very often applied in quantities far too large for the healthy growth of the crops and it is this o.'erdressiug which creates the dis- satisfaction felt by those who use it iiJjudiciouBly .and unsatisfactorily. When a culcularion is abolit to be made with regard to the quantity of nitrate which should be given to a field of wheat, it ought to be remembered that 2 cwt. per acre will supply all the nitrogen the crop can take up advanta- geously. This quantity would be sufficient if the land had been cropped with vheat continuously for a number of years, and during the whole time had received no manure. Few field, even in these hard times, will be found in such an exhausted condition, as, if no farmyard manure has been spread upon it, there will have been such restorative crops as seeds, or roots will have been fed on the land, with | or without cike. Not half of this quantity is required on an average where an ordinary comple- ment of stock is raised. On strong clav, lewt. to H 2 cwt. can be used without the wheat going down, and on light soils cwt. There is, how- ever, another point worth remembering, that the application of nitrate beyond a certain point does harm rather than good the profit which will follow if a moderate quantity is applied is not found in a further increased crop when more than is necessary is used. Frequently, iewt of nitrate is sufficient to make all the difference between a medium and a first rate yield, and the money ex. pended is paid four-fold. In a general way from ew. to cwt is the safest dressing, it thus forming the necessary auxiliary to the manurial quantities already in the land. Men who restrict themselves to a judicious use of this manure rarely condemn it, for they have substantial reasons to be highlv satisfied with its results on the other hand, men who employ it with too great freedom spea.- badly of it, and blame the manure instead of themselves. The above remarks also apply to nitrates on barley, except that, as tho quality of the latter is more easily destroyed, it is still more necessary to keep close to a normal growth. Oats may be treated with more freedom, as they can develop when libeially manured. For several mouths there has been little rain, and the nitric acid which formed during the autumn has not been washed out of the soil, as being very soluble, it does in wet winters. Therefore, there is a considerable quantity of nitrates in the land available for the crops, and the application of such food should necessarily be less heavy. PRICES OF FARM PRODUCE. There appears to be a general impression that the agricultural position has been much improved by the slow advance to present prices of wheat when compared with the value that prevailed some I two years ago. Reference, however, to the figures which record cereal prices a year ago will (not create any considerable satisfaction. At the present time English wheat is worth only 25s 7d per qr., which is not more than 2s 9d improvement on the year, and the figure is still below the line of profitable cultivation. Barley shows a trifle advance on the year-6d per quarter—now standing at 21s. Oats, on the other hand, are worth Is 2d per quarter less than at this period of 1895. When we turn to the meat market we find that beef and mutton are Jd per lb. less in valaes on the week, 2 and lambs Id per lb. The prices of other farm produce also show diminishing values, so it is clear that, far from the depression being removed, it is being more accentuated through a lower range of prices. Taking a rough balance of the higher and lower prices of farm produce as a whole, it will be found that the British farmer is actually in a worse position at tne present moment than he was a year ago. And the large supplies of grain and meat which are being sent to this country make it very unlikely that the position will be improved. It may be noted in connection with the imports that prices keep falling, and it is announced that the freight of meat from Canada has been con- siderably reduced.
