The beautiful hair dress shown here
has made a veritable sensation, and It
Is a pleasure to reproduce it for our
readers. Without the small pleasing
little skeleton cap shown In the pic
ture, it retains all the fascination of
the Psyche coiffure, and is thoroughly
practical for present millinery modes.
The hairdresser has taken certain
small liberties with her classic model
in order to accommodate the coiffure
to the hat and brow of the wearer,
and they have turned out to be an
Improvement, since they enhance the
beauty of both the face and hat. The
head dress, shown in our photograph,
was adapted specially to this coiffure
and leaves nothing to be desired.
It may be said In passing that the
head dress Bhown is made of gold rib
bon and rhinestone ornaments set in
gold. The aigrette at the side is pure
white. Every one will see at a glance
Its simplicity of construction, and ap
preciate the beauty of this coiffure or
nament. The foundation on which It
Is fashioned is simply buckram cut In
narrow bands and wired before cover
ing with ribbon.
It does not require an abundance
of natural hair to build this style of
coiffure. The hair, however, must be
waved before It Is dressed. The reg
ular ondulatlons of the Marcel wave
may be used, but are not absolutely
essential. The hair Is parted off In
the usual manner, and that portion
about the face and neck waved in
loose, irregular curves. All the re
mainder of the hair (much or little) is
tied at the back of the head and ar
ranged in a coil. This forms the foun
dation for the balance of the coiffure.
If the hair is thick and heavy it
will not bo necessary to use a roll at
all. The hair at each side in this case
Is simply "ratted," that is, combed
toward the scalp instead of from it,
and then lightly smoothed with the
comb on the outside. It is then
brought back to the coll, pinned to it,
and the ends fastened under it. A
BmaH portion of the waved hair on
top of the head la treated in the same
BEST BAG FOR THE BROOM
Should Be Made to Fit, with an Open
ing at the 8ide Good Tick
ing Bag.
The broom bag may be made a
more satisfactory thing than the cloth
that slips off in mid air if It is made
to fit the broom, and, furthermore, if
it be opened at the side. The thing
I have in mind is an oblong square
bag of outing flannel from which the
two lower corners have been cut, leav
ing it somewhat octagonal In shape.
The small remaining bottom of the
bag is made into a faced opening, and
when the broom handle Is slipped
through the long, open side of the bag
and dropped through the end opening
the broom straws w ill be held securely.
A ticking bag for clothes-pins has
fastened to Its upper end two wire,
books to hang it to a clothes-line. The
end 1b first stiffened with wire, and
there is no opening for the clothes
pins except a round hole cut in the
center of one side. A facing round the
circular hole forms a casing for an
other wire to keep the opening in
shape.
Countless household bags are not to
be scorned, but these two are partic
ularly useful fchnpes.
way and brought back lying loosely
over the top, with its end fastened un
der the coil. The hnir across the fore
head is arranged in a loose pompa
dour, the ends lightly twisted, and
brought back to the coil if long enough
to reach. If not, they are concealed
under that portion on top of the head
which has already been fastened into
the coll. This pompadour is then
pulled forward and down over the
brow and parted lightly with the
fingers, a little to one side. Invisible
pins, fasten it to place, and It is worn
more or less over the brow to suit
the individual taste in this matter.
A very full cluster of false puffs
is placed over and around the coll,
where they are firmly pinned to
place. A barette is adjusted under
them, supporting the short locks at
the nape of the neck, which usually
prove so refractory. P'lnlshlug touches
are given by pulling the side hair
against the puffs and pinning it to
them with invisible pins and curling
any short locks which may straggle
about the nape of the neck Into little
rings. These are held In placo with
the fluid which hairdressers use for
that purpose.
The natural hair, unless very curly,
will not make satisfactory curls and
puffs, and even when one possesses
the requisite quantity of naturally
curly hair It is much more difficult to
manage than the false hair. Moreover,
it will not stay well dressed as long
and consumes far more time in doing,
so that it is economy to buy puffs and
curls. Of all things, however, one
should get a perfect match in color
and texture to one's own hair.
When the natural hair is very thin
it will be necessary to use additional
hair across the front of the head, for
the hair dress just described. Sev
eral styles are made In front pieces
that will fill all the requirements, and
when combed in with the natural hair
are not to be detected. In adjusting
the hat to this coiffure a portion of
the hair about the face should be
pinned to the underbrlm or facing of
the hat.

FIT INTO A DRESSING CASE
Umbrellas Now Made So They Fold
Great Convenience for the
Traveler,
Umbrellas which can be folded to
fit into a 24 inch dressing case are the
only type which now appeal to the
college girl who does not like to be
burdened with more than one package
when traveling. Those folding um
brellas come in black, tan, taupe, dark
red, blue, brown and green twilled
silk, mounted upon steel frames and
usually have wooden handles. Among
the newest umbrella handles is one of
flattened top, shaped somewhat like
a huge button and about two and one
half inches across. Other wooden
handles are carved to represent tlx,
heads of cats, dogs, owls and butter
flies. They are usually of natural col

A form of combined stanchion and
manger for calf feeding is Illustrated
In a bulletin published by the Michi
gan Experiment station and Is recom
mended as being very convenient. The
principle on which the stanchion Is
built Is not claimed to be new; tho
use dates back a number of decades,
but the especial application and ad
justment of the one hereafter describ
ed presents some new features. This
particular model is produced as tho
result of three yenrs' trial, having un
dergone several changes since the
first one was installed. This appli
ance can be adjusted so as to accom
modate the calf from birth up to 12
months of age. The calves are con
lined In tho stanchions nt feeding
time only. After the cnlf has been
secured the milk bucket is placed In
tho manger; when the milk is con
sumed the bucket is removed and en
silage and meal supplied, followed by
hay. Hy using this stanchion method
of feeding tho maximum number of
calves can be kept. in a minimum
amount of space in a clean, healthy,
thrifty condition, providing they are
given access to the outdoor yardage.
The average size of the four calf pens
in tho dairy barn, Including manger
space is 15 feet three inches by 12
feet 3 inches. Each pen accommo
dates eight calves up to five or six
months of age. The average size of
two pens in tho grade herd barn ac
commodating six calves each, is 9 feet

8 inches by 14 feet 10 inches, and
three occupied by five each are lO'i
feet by 11 feet 9 inches. Of course,
in all cases except one, the calves
have access to yardage at will.
Referring to the illustration for de
tailed description, the bottom of the
manger, 18 inches wide, consisting of
2-lnch hemlock, is 6 inches above the
floor. As the front of the manger
Is built on rather than against the
bottom it leaves the inside bottom
measurement of the manger 16 inches.
The side of the manger over which
the calf's neck la placed In feeding Is
8 inches above the bottom, one-half
of this distance being taken up by a
2x4, the balance by the bottom frame
work of the stanchion resting on it.
The top part of the manger over
which the calf feeds Is 15 inches
above the floor and should not be
made higher, as even this is rather
high for the new born calf. The young
est calves can feed over this, but
should not be left fastened during the
day, as they could not lie down com
fortably. The side of the manger next
the feed alley Is practically 2 feet
high and 2' feet above the floor; the
slope given to this part of the man
ger Is a very decided advantage, espe
cially in placing and removing buck
ets while tho calf Is fastened in the
stanchion; even more slope than that
indicated would be well. Tho manger
is partitioned off every two feet; this
should be the minimum width, for
while it Is ample room for the young
calves, even more room would be de
sirable for the roughage of the older
ones. The manger partitions extend
upward as far as the curved line
shown In the Illustration, but this Is the
most faulty feature of the fixture, as
it is poi-slblo for one calf to reach
over and suck another one's ears If
the meal and ensilage is not promptly
supplied after the milk Is consumed,
thoufih this rnrely happens. A more

slopes away from tho manger to In
crease Its capacity and give tho calf
tho benefit of n little more sprend in
throwing the head up to remove It
from tho open stanchion. The stan
chions are mndo of well seasoned 1
luch elm and no breaks have occurred
thus far. Tho youngest calves do not
require more than 5 inches spaco for
the neck when confined. The stan
chion frames are bored with a num
ber of holes so that tho movablo up
right pieces can be shifted according
to tho size of the cnlf. As calves ap
proach the yearling stage and their
horns interfere with the working of
the stanchion the movable piece may
be removed and the animal allowed to
go free while feeding. This system has
given the utmost satisfaction, permit
ting calves to bo fed Individually ac
cording to their needs and entirely
preventing the many bad habits so
frequently acquired by the pall fed

DISEASE GERMS
FROM COWS
Milk Contaminated in Various
Ways From Time It Leaves
Cow Until It Reaches Table.
There are a hundred and one places
where milk can be contaminated from
the time it is drawn from the udder
till It reaches the table In the form
of sweet milk, cream, or butter. First,
a great deal of bacteria, Impurities
and disease germs get Into the milk
at the barn or lot in which the cows
are kept. Second, a great many more
of theso owe their existence In milk
to the attendant and the place in
which the milk is kept.
Tho moment the cow shows signs
of being ill, or when even a slight
eruption is noticeable, a person may
contract disease by partaking of her
milk.
Impure water is another way in
which milk is contaminated. If the
cow is compelled to drink out of a
mud hole, filled with disease germs,
she cannot help but drink a large
number of those germs into her sys
tem, some of them being sure to reach
tho milk.
Milking the cow into an open pall
when the barn is filled with dust, and
from which there hangs an untold
number of dirty cobwebs, or milking
her In an offensively smelling lot,
where the filth is ankle deep, or milk
ing a cow where udder, flanks and
legs are covered with dirt and filth
in such cases it is impossible to avoid
contamination of the milk.
We believe that more disease germs
are given the human family through
milk than are given in any other
agency; and we also believe that less
attention is paid to the care of milk
than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

it may seem to tho
lnndsinnn, land Is tho

Moro wrecks are caused by stnuiillngs
than by any other causo or by all
other causes combined.
Henco tho continual effort of gov
ernments to better their systems of

aids to navigation.
San Francisco is one of tho most
admirably equipped seaports of tho
world in this respect, ami numberless
are tho wearied mariners who lieavo
a sigh of relief when the lights, first
of tho Farallones. then of l'oliit Ho
n!ta and Fort l'oint, como in sight,
are "picked up," as tho sailor himself
says, or, In caso of thick weather,
their fog slgna's heard. Glad, too, are
tidings of a ship's arrival that are her
alded by tho lookout of the San Fran
cisco Merchants' exchange stationed,
day anil night. In his little sentry box
overlooking tho Cliff bouso and Mile
rock and tho sea for miles beyond.
Tho keepers of tho Fort Point light
and of thu Merchants' exchange s glial
station are interesting characters.
They may well bo termed the "keep
ers of the Golden gate."
For 30 years John Hyslop has been
the lookout of tho Merchants' ex
change, lie is to tho port of today
what eld Telegraph hill was to the
forty-niners. With tho aid of his big
telescope, a finely adjusted Instrument
costing thousands of dollars, Hyslop
can sight a vessel far out at sea and
classify and namo her while sho Is yet
miles away. Ho knows every liner,
every steamer, every ship, every lum
ber carrier, every fishing boat, every
schooner that passes hia post. A look
at a vesuel't rigging Is enough for him
to identify her; and remember he Is a
landsman, or, lack.ng that, the sound
of her A'histlo or note of bell. For
30 years he bus trained his powerful
telescope on tho ships of 20 different
countries,.
"Jim" Rankin has been the light
houso keeper at Fort I'oli.t for 35
years, ills hair was brown when he
first entered the government service
and undertook tho responsible task of
warning vestels ol the rockbound
shores of the Golden gate and guid
ing them Rafely to tho commodious
anchorage within. He Is now griz
zled, but his eye is as keen and his
nerves as steady and his devotion to
duty as stern as a quarter of a cen
tury ago. In his ported of service he
has seen wondrous changes In the
maritime life of San Frnnclsco.
When a gale Is or. there Is always
an oil clad figure and a ruddy face
under a lowered oilskin cap climbing
the steps from the .ighthouse tower to
another one Just opposite, where a
flaring mouthed trumpet hangs over
the rocks below. Every 30 minutes
the big lamp must be visited. Every
30 mlnjtes the big macblue which
blows breath Into the steel and iron
lungs of the hoarse voiced trumpet
must bo examined and tested that It
may be ascertained if it is working to
Its full capacity. Tho duplicate ma
chine which stands ready to take up
tho work should any part of Its twin
suddenly fail is kept, in perfect condi
tion by daily inspection; but it is sel
dom called on to perform extra duty.
Changes as great as in tho topo
graphica und architectural surround
ings have been observed by both Hy
slop and Kankln in the maritime and
commercial conditions of San Francis
co bay during their long terms of
service. The decllno In sailing tonnage
and the increase of steam tonnage en
tering and leaving tho port, the great
expansion of Pacific ocean trade ami
many other events have taken place
In the last three decades.
Twenty big grain carrying vessels
used to sail out tho gate in a single
week. At the present time there are
not that number in a year. They have
been replaced by thb big freighters,
each of vhlch can carry as much
rxaln as ten of the old time sailing
ships. On the China rteaniers a dozen
passengers used to be reglfiered as a

names. Perhaps a dozen sailing ves
sels pass through tho gate In a
month's time. Looking out over tho
bay In early days rno could perceive
30 or 40 sail In a glance. Thirty years
ago 1,400 tons was considered good
carrying power for a sailing vessel;
3,000 tons carrying capacity Is the
recognized standard now. Three de
cades ago a 2,000 ton Hteamer was
held a first rater, to-day anything
smaller than 20,000 tons is hardly sec
ond class.
Tho t'isplacenient of tho naillne ves
sels by steam propellers has about
caused the towboa. business to pass
out of existence. Wen every vessel
has a ..mokestack, tow boats aro no
longer needed. Occasionally a big ves
sel will use one In docking, but the
few towbonts remaining aro used
mainly as fishing boats and are owned
by two or three companies, who em
ploy 50 men or more on the boats,
v.hlch usually work In pairs. The
great .Ishing nets, 200 and 300 feet
long, are dragged through tho water
by belli spread out between two oi
the boats, attached to each boat's
stern. In this wa; flsh are "aught by
the ton. The change from the fa
miliar lateen sailed fishing boats,
which used to bo uch a picturesque
sight on th: bay, Is marked.
Fleets of sallln.'. vessels passed
through tho Golden gate in the early
days. Nearly all tho coasting trade
was carried on by means of barks and
ships. The bay was full of two and
three masted schooners In the latter
part of ttu 80'a.
Interesting indeed, not only to the
layman, but even t the seafaring man
supposed to be familiar with them,
are the things told by Hyslop and
Rankin, these two weatherbeaten
friends of the mariner. Monotonous
their life may seem, but to the marine
world they are men whose duties are
of vital Importance to commerce.
Reliability and devotion to duty are
personified In thesa two guardians ol
the Golden gate.
