For this $ are constantly opening, Grasses aa Soli Binders. At one of the suburbs north of Chicago there is a steep hank that for years has made a good deal of trouble by its tendency to slide down against the village water works. It has become a serious matter to the village authorities and a number of devices have been tried for holding back the bank. The bank is about ninety feet high and has a slope of perhaps 60 degrees. The opinion of the Farmers Review was requested as to the best grasses to be used for binding the surface solL The Inquiry was passed on to experts at the experiment stations, and the following replies received. We publish them tor the benefit of our farm readers, who frequently have a similar question to face. Prof. Carleton R. Ball, acting department of agriculture, Washington, D. C.: For holding a bank 90 feet high and with a slope of 60 degrees, the grass best adapted Is undoubtedly Bermuda grass. By means of its strong and closely creeping rootstocks It will hold a bank of that character almost perfectly unless the ground Is exceedingly loose. It is of a beautiful color during the summer months, but unfortunately is killed above the surface of the ground by frost and is therefore not green during the winter and not until late In the spring. The creeping rootstocks, however, hold the soil practically as well when the foliage is dead as when It Is living ana growing and this fact would not affect Its utility. There are of course other grasses that could be used, as quack grass or couch grass, and, to a less degree, Canada blue grass. Neither of these would spread as rapidly or make as firm a turf as the Bermuda grass. agro-8tologi- st, Princess. Wadding Gowm.

Birds nests perch atop of a few of the new hats. The surplice nightgown Is one of the most sought new styles for sum- -, mer wear. Lingerie sashes are promised as an adjunct of the smartest wash gowns this year. Oriental laces are especially well adapted to the present styles of hat trimming.

Paul Laurence Dunbar, in March Idea. A Queer Colo la a Clam. John W. Woodward of New Haven, Conn., hqs a remarkable coin which has been examined by several local coin collectors and others in New York city, and of which none has been able to find any trace of the origin or has any seen a duplicate of it The coin came into the possession of Mr. Woodward in a very peculiar manner. A friend of his, who was summering In West Haven, caught one morning a clam, about five inches in length. The clam was given to Mr. Woodward. On opening it he found embedded In the muscle a hard substance, which had what appeared to be a thick crust about It. This being chipped off It revealed a coin. Polishing disclosed the identity of it and it proved to have on the face the head of the late Queen Victoria. Around the edge were the words Victoria Regina and at the bottom the date 1853." The reverse showed a woman seated In a chair before a table, and about the edge are the words, Keep your temper." The figure in the chairs bears a striking resemblance to the likeness of the queen, on side. The piece is slightly smaller than a Canadian quarter and appears to be made of bronze. you!
