In jmany new models the waist line Is quite Ignored. But In this there Is an easy shaping of tho side seamB and a jllttlo definition of the waist.

No further decoration would bo In good taste on bo odd a model. This hat could be mado of more durable material by substituting lone of the thin plushes, such as are ishown among fall millinery materials.

Gold and undeveloped figures of youth. For fin ish the coat depends upon pipings, embroidered arrow-heads and simu lated buttonholes with a turned-back collar in silk of the same color as the decorations. The belt, of the material, with sash ends at the front, has a row of ma chine stitching near Its edges and Is a feature in the styles1 for fall and winter. The jacket is hemmed at tho bottom. Deep, slightly flaring cuffs finish the sleeves. i A soft blouso of white cotton voili. with neck and sleeves finished with hemstitched frills, Is worn with this suit. The sensible walking boots of kid, with cloth uppers, are neatly tipped with patent leather. The short washable gloves are barred with black. A sailor hat with velvet brim and satin crown is simply trimmed with velvet bow and one large satin poppy. Taken altogether this is a costume that the young woman may wear with much satisfaction. It will pas's the most discriminating scrutiny and place her at once among the well dressoi'. N. V-? silver cloth is used for this purpose Pretty roman-strlped silks are good, s The close-fitting, bonnet-like shape, for a little miss, Is of a light weight plush draped over a frame. It Is, trimmed with a small natural wing. These plushes will stand any amount of wear and weather and are, in fact, more hardy than fur. Hats made of them are very comfortable and a satis-' factory protection in cool weather. Corduroy Is about the most reliable fabric which one can select to make hats for tho children's dally wear. And altogether satisfactory shapes can be made at home, using cither corduroy or velveteen. Hats of this1 kind are made with soft crowns and have brims interlined with crinoline. Patterns for making them are to be had of any standard pattern company. By stitching the brims in parallel rows, they may be kept shapely. Trimmings are of the simplest char-' acter it used at -all. Bands of ribbon finished with small bows are tho best choice of all. , JULIA BOTTOMLEY. 1 4 f Ilk H W& ,MIsb Gavin, and eight French ladles, Including tho Countess do Pourtnl and tho Marquise do Chargore.

Count Helmuth von Moltko, field marshal of the German nrmy, now in supremo command, under tho kaiser, of the united forces of tho 'empire, is tho favorite nephew of tho 'old field marshal of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. He Inherited his j uncle's favorlto personal belongings and his favorlto estate. His father jwas tho old field marshal's younger brother and was chamberlain to tho king of Denmark, the Moltke family jbelng of Danish origin. Helmuti,von (Moltke, now fifty-six years old, was a sub-lleutenant In the Franco-PrusBlan war and was awarded the Iron cross (for bravery. From 1882 to 1891 ha jwas his celebrated uncle's adjutant ,on the general staff, and It took him 'that wholo period to advanco from 'the rank of captain to that of major. 'When old Von Moltko died the kalsor ,mado this Intlmato friend of his an A. D. C. in his personal suite. Helmuth von Moltke is one of the most accomplished musicians In Germany, and some twelve years ago, at a banquet of tho kaiser's cuirassier regiment at Noudeck, the kaiser led tho band when It played an old march composed In 1402 which Moltko had resur rected and rewritten as a musical curiosity. It was about this time that tho kalBer appointed him quartermaster-general of tho army, an appointment which pleased everybody, as the ofTlcer was popular and had an excellent reputation as a military executive. He had become popular with tho kaiser for his accomplishments of culture as well as those of tho soldier, u very natural thing. The knlser twice offered him tho baton of tho field marshal before Moltke oould bo persuaded to accept it. KING OF THE BELGIANS cord, visiting police stations nnd doing what would bo known here ns "ship news." As a reporter, It Is said, he was a "snappy" worker, who Bcored many beats and obtained timoly pictures. Posalbly tils slay In America In 1898, when he llttlo dreamed of being king, gave him tho training necessary to set a new standard for quick newspaper work In Brussels and Antwerp. GERMANY'S GRAND ADMIRAL Grand Admiral von Tlrpltz, tho bead of the kaiser's navy, Is the dominating figure In Gorman official life. As far as the navy Is concerned, Tlrpltz dominates over the kaiser. A man of comparatively humblo birth, born sixty-five yoars ago, he entered the royal Prussian navy when he waB only sixteen, cruising In the Baltic, the North sea, tho Mediterranean rind tho Atlantic ocean, and rising to tho grado of second lieutenant in time to servo In tho Franco-Prussian war on board tho Koenlg Wllhelm. Service In South America, in, tho West Indies and again In tho Mediterranean fol lowed, and the young seaman had soon bocome so Indispensable to the service that In 1879 he was appointed commander of tho .Zietcn; In 1881, commander of tho Blucher, nnd In 1885, commander of tho Blitz, as chief of tho flotilla. He was mado rear ad miral In 1895. In 189G ho became chief of the squadron In East Asia, and In 1898, secretary of state to tho udmlralty. There Is no naval expoit lit tho world who would not havo to acknowledge that Admiral von Tlrpltz is probably the most Illustrious minister of marine now alive. He Is tho real creator of the Germun fleet. Dressed In the cap and gown of a Red Cross nurse, tho duchess of Suth erland, a famous English beauty, was recently in command of the French Bed Cross work In Brussels, Belgium. Ono of the exquisite salons of the Cerclo Artlsquo was turned over to her. Thcro she Installed 50 beds, changed ono of tho rootnn Into nu operating theater, and anothor, where beautiful paintings ctill hnng, Into tho kitchen. In Bpenklng of how -ho happened to offer her scrvlcos In Brussels, tho duchoss said: "I wns In Pnrlu and offered my services to tho Socours den Blesses.

His casual democracy, hia undoubted business ability and his manner of dealing with tho Socialists, so that tho Socialists, cursing most labor conditions, paused to praise their ruler, has worried them almost into prostration. He is called In the circles which royalty frequents the "Socialist king," but whatever his political belief tho fact remains that ho brought hla coun try to a wonderful state of prosperity and the state railroads under his di rect supervision became a llttlo more profitable than any In Europe. Thero are few things that this accomplished king can not do or hasn't done. Ho fights, rides, swims, shoots and engages In aviation, engineering and writing with equal facility.

With the common knowledge of tho earning of the farm flocks has come a dealro to keep moro fowls and mako their keeping a special department of tho farm operations. On most fnrms It will prove bettor nnd moro economical to allow tho poultry freo range during favorable weather nnd fence oft tho lawn nnd garden.. Tho gains mado by tho chickens during tho summer aro rapid, and poultrymcn are fast beginning to real ize that it they havo largo, healthy btrdB they must havo abundant range during the period when thoy aro grow ing nnd developing. Poultry raised on tho farm and hatched and brooded by natural means find tho cxerclso necessary for their healthy development nnd bucIi vari eties of food as aro most conducive to their welfare It will pay any farmor to mako his poultry a special branch of his fann ing and give It tho saino dally caro and attention tlnjt he would his dairy, cattlo, "horses or swine. Poultry, like aheop that aro kept merely as scavengers, cannot mako tho protlts that thoy would If they re ceived proper food and treatment.

Charcoal aids digestion nnd corrects many of tho 111b to which fowls are RAISE TURKEYS FOR MARKET White Hollands Are Not as Large as Bronze, but Are Hardier and Easier to Manage. For several years I havo bred White Holland turkeys "nnd like them very much. They aro not quite so largo as the bronze, but I find them hardier and easier to raise. Their Avhlto plu mage makeB them easy to soo whon at nnge, and tholr feathers sell for ore than dark ones. My turkeys forago all over nn elghty-acro farm, but never go very far from home, writes L. P. Glllon of Milwaukee county, AVIs., In Orango Judd Farmer. This 1b ono of the characteristic quali ties of tho White Holland. Generally I keep one torn und eight or ton bene over winter. For hatching I prefor chicken hens to turkoys. Usually two or three nro Bet at a time, nnd then all tho poults aro given to tho turkey hen because tho turkey makes a better mother than tho chicken hen. Durlug tho first week the poults receive nothing but rolled oats and sour milk curd, al though I sometimes supplement this with un occasional feed of custard or hard-boiled eggs chopped very fine and slightly peppered. Always I con fine the mother In a sheltered placo for the first ton days and allow tho poultB to run In tho grass after tho dew 1b off. Tho location of tho coop I chunge dally. When tho poults nro thrco weeks old I begin to feed four times dally, and when u month old throo times. Cracked corn and wheat aro given at this time, but the main diet con sists of bran and curds. After tho poults havo shot the red they nro practically out of danger and enn bo fed cracked corn nnd whent twice dally. They may also bo allowed to forage with the mother at will. From this time forward thoy gain most of their living. Each day, however, I feed them twlco to encourage them to come to tho houso at night. Ono feed Is given in tho morning, tho other In tho evening. They roam tho fields during the day. Next to feeding two of the moot important points In turkey raising aro to keep tho poults freo from vormln nnd dampness. I prevent tho former by using a good lice killer oncp or twlco a week and keeping tho heads and under sides of tho wings well greased with lard. I always house my broods In waterproof coops. Whon old enough to kill tho poults are fed lieavly upon corn for ten days or two weeks, but for tho last twenty-four hours before killing thoy recolvo noth ing except water. Usually I sell them when six or seven months old, or when they aro twelve to sixteen poundH for toiriH and eight to ten pounds for hens. Thoy generally bring eighteen to twenty-two cents a pound locally. Remedy for Lice. Persian Insect powder Ib a good rcmeuy for lice. It should bo dusted cvtir the fowls and nest. heir.

Provldo tho poultry with plenty of fresh, green food during tho molting, period. nemombor tho water supply theso hot days. ( It Is hotter to food sour milk all tho tlmo than to mako frequent changes, from sweet milk to nour. Every poultry houso should fnco't cither 'south or southeast. At least one-third of tho south slda should bo, glass, cloth or screened. A cornfield provides animal food.J shade and good scratching ground for chickens. Turn them Into tho corn-l Held. They get a lot of freo picking and do not damago tho crop. Advertising la tho koynoto to tho, poultrymnn's buccoba. Tell tho other' pcoplo what you havo to sell. Grado up tho flock every year. Do this by culling carefully everything that Is not desirable. Novor, under any circumstances, keep moro blrdB than you can tako caro of well. Cull tho flock closely. Keep tho best and prepare tho rest .for market. Constant thought and Judgment are neccFsnry In poultry raising. Uniform ncet boxes add to tho at tractiveness of tho house. . Tho poultry houso and yard should bo well drained. Always practice abaoluto cleanli ness In, feeding. GOOD METHOD OF FATTENING Prnctlco of "Feeding Birds In 8maU Yards or Pens Is 'Preferred for Market Chickens. i (By C. E. BIIOWN. Minnesota Experi ment Station ) Tho loose-pen method of fattening; market chickens might bo properly do scribed ns tho practice of feeding the' birds in smnll yards or pens, jn lots of from iwenty-flve to fifty. Wo prei fer this method for broilers or cock erels of tho lighter broods, Buch na LcghornB, as thoy nro very active and nro likely to bo rostless In tho crato. Our plan Is to havo a small coop on shelter for rooBtlng, with a small yard, attached, tho wholo structuro being portable. Each morning at feeding time tho coop Is moved a dlstanco equal to Its length, to glvo a clean floor for tho chicks. Whcro tho coop Is plnced In nn orchard or grove it servos a doublo purpose, for, besides accommodating tho chickens, It onrlcheB tho soil. A 'oop largo enough for thirty broilers should bo thrco feet wldo, six feet long, two feet high at tho back und three feet high ut tho front, with threa loosts running lengthwise. Tho yard should bo made of throo hurdles, two 12 feet long nnd 18 luchos high, ono six foot wldo, and a largo hurdle to cover tho top to keop tho chicks from flying over. CAYUGA AN AMERICAN DUCK Breed Is Not Generally Acceptable to Poultrymen of This Country on Account of Feathers. Tho only breed of ducks that can lay clalm to being strictly American Is! tho Cuyuga, but, strange to say, It lul u breed that Is not generally uccejit ablo by tho American poultryman. It Is the smallest of all tho market ducks but It matures early and fur-( nlshes lino meat. Tho objection Is that, It in a black feathered bird and In con sequence u dressod carcusa la very un attractive principally on account of tho presence of black pin feathers. This same objection has been it hundlcap to tho ltouen duck lb thl country. Tho Aylesbury la a whlto fenthercd duck but Is not popular with, un for tho reason that It ha'a nothing to offer that the Pekin does not suiw ply to a greater dogreo. Put Poultry House In Order.
