The shape, of rich white is faced with black velvet, per fectly fitted to the broad brim, with graceful curves and flowing lines. ; Such tats are covered in factories de- ; voted to making hats of a high class. : and the velvet Is steamed and stretch ed to the underbrim, turning up i around the edge in a tiny cordlike : finish Most hats of ti ls character are very s.n.pjy trlmnud. A big spray of feath ers. a curious novelty in gold, or a lo. s curling ostrich plume are most i often cnosen tiig black hats with j gi .d in a striking ornament and gold j roses on the bandeau, resting against ; the hair, or such ornaments in tarnish cd t>ra;s effects, make superb mil linery. ' In the model shown delicate gauze roses surround the crown and cover j the bandeau. Heron aigrettes are useC here, but. as these are likely to tall Into disuse on account of the crusade against them, and a growing public sentiment adverse to their use, it is best to make another selection. The feathers of the goura or crown pigeon are equally effective, and may be worn, with a clear conscience, or a compara lively clear conscience at least. The wearing of heron, by the way, is prohibited by law in several states. ' and in July of next year it Is said a law will go into universal effect pro hibiting the buying, selling or wearing of these feathers. As they are very expensive. It is best not to invest In them. There are so many pretty feath ers to choose from that cannot dis turb the conscience or call down criti- | cism. it would seem no hardship for a woman of taste to make another choice.

FLESHY WOMAN FINDS FAULT Has Not a Good Word to Say for Frocks or Millinery cf This Season. It Is interesting to note the anima tion with which women, or rather some women, attack the present styles. It is invariably the woman ot flesh who is the most emphatic in dis approval. Xot a good word is to be said by her for frocks or millinery oi this season. Hats are Imprudently absurd, skirts immodestly cut. Jackets trivial, and even the efforts of great dressmakers dubbed futile and unconvincing, as she tells it. It is a season, according to the woman whose hips refuse to re move themselves, of grotesque absur dities The hysterical note is struck. So why argue? Whether we argue or not, certain things must be acknowledged. The present fashions in some directions have reached such perfection that to condemn them is ridiculous, to ignore them impossible. So let us forget the fact that our too comfortable contours refuse brazenly to confine themselves within the slim limits of the present silhouette and see if we cannot judge of the fashions of the day with an unbiased eye, if not with entirely un trammeled hips. In spite of criticism and caricature ; they may alone be called epoch ma king. Line and drapery have clothed themselves in such artistic grace; color and fabric have attained such perfection of combination and weave that they take their places with fam ous fashions of other days. They are in a great measure re ! vivals. yet revivals so skillfully adapt ed to our needs and environment that they are accepted with enthusiasm by the intelligent few. The lover of color and line rejoices in their existence the beauty-loving eye revels in their softly woven and luxurious fabrics. The great dressmakers have gath ered from the Greeks and Romans from Egyptians and Orientals, from the Alexandrian and first empire pe riods fashions, fabrics, and color j which, when combined and crystal lired. place the styles of this season uniquely apart. Pretty Buckles on Gcwns. The plain silver or bronze bell buckle has undergone a wenderiu' transformation, and now we hare mag nlficent evening gowns and wraps trim I r»ed with them. The newest buckles are made of the same material as the gown, or when the gown is trimme; with chiffon or braided the buck* is made of the same material as the trim mini.

Xo wind, but cold, oh, so cold! The moon was stc< ’ blue as if frost bitten. The stars blinked with the cold. It was 10 be j low zero, the village folk said, and that is very cold. Two travelers trudged the road that wound up and around the hill. "Swing your arms. Sigurd." said one, and him self commenced slapping his armpits. "We will try at the nest house," he continued. " 'Tis Christmas eve. and how can they turn us away on such a night ?*• Ahead a farmhouse threw a wel come yeilow glare on the snow. The travelers hurried on. encouraged. Soon | they stood under the eaves of the lit ' tie house so alone ir. the snow, and ; before the door. Fridthjof pulled the ’ old brass knocker down heartily. "Oh, ho, within.” he cried. “Have you food and led for hungry travelers this Christmas eve?" They heard a bus tie and stir inside. The door swung open and the fanner, a huge man with a big voice, peered out. "Come in," he said. The tw-o stamped the snow o!T their feet and entered. The best hearth : seats were given them and the farm er's daughter appeared, bearing a pitcher of steaming, home brewed ale. Along with It came smoked mutton and goodly piles of flat hrod. Sigurd j and Fridthjof toasted their shins dreamily content. Behind them the farmer's wife and daughter clattered | diligently with silver dishes and a bountiful Christmas feast. Sigurd looked up in surprise. "Pc you eat your Christmas dinner at night?" he asked. The farmer settled ; Into his creaking armchair and his j jovial face became serious. "Years! ago." he began, "the goblins, or the j ] hill people, came down, took posses j sion of my farm and demanded that 1 : j turn my place over to them every Christmas night. Before we go we must set them a feast with silver dishes. 1 dared not disobey them, lest ’ : they run ofT with my horses and ruin my crops. So. you sec. I have no real' Christmas ever." Then he added 1 "you cannot stay, for they w ill kill you. too.” "Bo they come every Christmas?” : asked Sigurd. "Every Christmas " Sigurd turned to Fridthjof. 'What shall we do." he asked, "get out or ; stay?” "Stay by all means." asserted i Sigurd. i "As you please, gentlemen." the farmer exclaimed. "My sleigh is ready at the doer. Good night and a merry Christmas to you.” l.eft alone, the two guests undressed and went to bed. Pretty soon away over the hills I they heard the silvery Jingle of gob lin sleigh bells. Sigurd drew the cur tains. Nearer and nearer came the jingling and now they could hear shouts and hoof beats. Then they heard them draw up In front of the house with a great clatter of har nesses. hoofs and sleigh bells. They could hear the goblins putting their tiny ponies into the farmer's sheds. Then with a great shout they entered the house. The two luckless fellows in bed kept very still and barely breathed Noisily the goblins seated themselves and started to eat with an uproar of clattering dishes, working jaws and spirited conversation. Many a mys tery of disappearing hay bundles, sheep or farm tools long discussed among the village and fisher folk was explained by boasting narrations of the evil, jabbering goblins below. At last Sigurd dared peek over twlxt the curtains. He saw little, white bearded men with red noses and glittering eyes, high peaked hats and fat bellies. To one end at the head of the table sat the chief, whose bigger red nose, fatter belly, higher ! ■hat and gruffer manner characterized j "him as suck. When he bellowed forth Jiis orders for food the others stepped j right lively. Of a sudden the chief cried out: "Wuf. 1 smell Human.” Immediately the room became chaos. Search was made everywhere, under chairs, in cupboards—everywhere. The chief himself was the most dill-. gent searcher, and presently he made straight for the curtains that covered the beds. Our travelers lay tense, almost scared to death. Sigurd gripped & shoe convulsively by the toe when he saw' the chief approach. The goblin looked Into the lower berth and then, climbing in a stool, he t>eered Into the upper one. He could iust manage to get his nose on the edge of the bed. and Sigurd brought his shoe heel down. Bing! Bing! awful hard on that good goblin’s red. tender nose. He let out one tremend | ous yell and hi* men dismayed at ! fear in their leader, stampeded out of the house to the sleighs. The chief 1 'ollowed them. Sigurd and Fridthjof could hear them frantically hitch up and heard j them drive off. singing dolefully until •he great white silence of the hills swallowed them up. The villagers say that the farmer was never again bothered br the wicked hill peosde. but lived happily ' ever afterward with his family.

BREEDING SHETLAND PONY FOR CHILDREN’S PLEASURE — Little Animal Is Most Docile of Equine Tribe, and Seemingly Most Sagacious—Where They Origi nally Came From. _ Children's Pets. George W. Gtxwlacre, a prominent | figure on the Potomac Speedway, has ! introduced into the District of Colum bia a new industry. Mr. Goodacre proposes to devote i much of his time in the future to the breeding of Shetland ponies, and has recently imported 12 head of beauti ful animals which he has located on I his estate in the vicinity of Bright wood. Since their arrival these pon ies have excited much admiration on account of their gentleness and intelli gence. With one or two exceptions, the ponies are of the tiny kind, as the illustration shows; in fact, they are so small that the major portion of j them could pass between the legs of a man of average size without the rut' fie of a hair. The lord of the harem , is a perfectly made tiny specimen of ; the Shetland tribe called Billie, black in color, and he can do almost any thing he is called upon to do except talk and pay taxes. The cutest in the band is a tiny j symposium of horseflesh called Dr. : Chase Jr., so named because he re-1 sembles the Doctor in color, being a golden sorrel, and again because his markings are similar to those worn by the great Speedway trotter. All of the ponies except two are of the pop ular color, being either white and black or bay and white. The fashion in ponies runs strongly toward the extremely small ones. They bring fabulous prices when of right sire and color in all large cities ir. this country, not only on account of their oddity, but because the size desired is hard to produce. The prim itive home of the Shetland is in the islands which lie off the extreme northern coast of Scotland. Bleak and desolate are these islands, even in the midst of summer. The grass is j sparse and not over-nutritious. It is in winter, however, that the sagacity and endurance of the Shetland is put to the test. He is compelled to dig through the snow for the forage he , gets, or. maybe, if the snow is too deep for him to reach the ground, he lives on twigs and seaweed. In the case of the Shetland pony, it Is truly a survival of the fittest. The ! I ponies are kept by their breeders In I droves, and. when in the spring they wander to the water's edge to get a taste of seaweed to supplement their rations, scores of them perish as the treacherous tides trequently catch them unawares and the weakest are carried out into the ocean. The oft-asked question: From whence did the Shetlands come? has been answered in different ways. The commonly accepted explanation is that they were taken to the islands from the mainland many centuries ago; that they were originally a horse, instead of a pony, and that the hardships they have been compelled to endure have diminished their size. This belief is fortified by the fact that when the Shetland is generously led he increases In size and bulk, and this fact also has brought disas ter to a number of breeders in this country. Whatever fashion demands, breed ers must supply or go out of business. A pony that is not much taller than a great Dane will bring $100 more in the market than one that measures six inches higher. Rich fathers and rich mothers seek the tiny ones for their children, and they do not stand on the matter of price when they find what they are seeking. The Shetland is the most docile of the i equine tribe, and. seemingly, the most sagacious. Doubtless, his environ ments have sharpened his instincts to a remarkable degree. In blood he ' is the plebeian of the plebeians, as we ! moderns count horseflesh, for his breeding is only one degree higher ; than that of the ox or the ass; that is, the true Shetland. The most remarkable breed of pony know n is the Canadian French pony, his ancestors having been brought ; “over from France by the French cok> j lasts. He evidently has good blood | in his veins, and may have descended trom the Spanish palfrey, as he paces and trots. Is a horse of high spirit, and of considerable speed. The noted Hal family. The Pilot Jr. family, the Copperbottoms, and some of the oth er pacing families in the United States sprang from the loins ol French-Canadian ponies. HANDLE NERVOUS TEAM SAFELY Brin* Animals' Heads Within Twelve or Fifteen Inches of Each Other. Allowin* In side Reins to Slacken. To handle a spirited team with per fect safety bring their heads within 12 or 15 inches of each other, writes J. G. Hall in Farm and Home. This will slacken the inside lines. I drive a team of mules in this way that I could not control otherwise. i had snaps put on the ends of a four-foot rope. I pass this rope through the inner rings of the bits and snap Ready for Safe Driving. them into the outer rings, as shown at a and b. The bits X use are joint ed wire ones. A friend of mine was recently killed by a fiery team running away. With such a rope as I use the accident would mave been averted. — ' 1 ~1 Plant Pood in Manure. The plant food in a ton of manure varies somewhat with the kind of live stock. Thus young, growing animals and animals giving milk will retain a larger proportion of the nitrogen and phosphorus than fattening stock, w ork horses or other mature animals. On the other hand, it is well to under- 1 stand that the difference in value fre quently considered, as. for example, between sheep manure and cattle ma nure. Is due almost entirely to differ ences in water content. As a matter of fat *, manure from work horses or from fattening steers fed on clover hay and heavy grain rations is fully as rich and valuable as sheep manure j if both are reduced to the same per- : rentage of dry matter. Of course. | sheep manure containing onlv 60 per 1 cent, of water is twice as rich as cat tle manure containing 60 per cent of water. S«ed for Pastures. Best seed mixtures Tor permanent j pastures are determined by the nature of the soil and climate—more prob ably by soil than by climate. In some localities It is not easy to secure anv other permanent pasture than that in digenous to the country or than some introduced grass which comes to be the prevailing grass. Of the former class is buffalo grass, in localities where it is quite at home on the range. Of the latter class is Ken tucky blue, which has come to be the prevailing grass over all the forest area in the northern and northweste-n states. - Clean Dairy Cows. Before milking the cows should be gone over with a brush and all parti cles of dirt removed. This need not take more than 30 seconds per cow The cow's udder comes in contact with the floor and cannot be cleaned simply brushing. It is very important that the udder should be washed with a damp sponge or cloth, and this may take 30 seconds more. The sponging will be doubly effective If the long hairs around the teats and lower part of the udder are cut shore CHINESE GROW MANY TREES Varnish Secured From One Smell Tree That Takes All Colors Alike If Well Managed Does Not Lose Luster. (By C, (I RAH A MC-WHITE) In China , there are many trees shirh arouse the wonder of trav elers. The varnish tree is of small size and has a leaf resembling that &i the wild cherry; a gum oozes from It drop bjr drop, like the tears of the turpentine tree. If an Incision is made in it. a greater quantity of li quor comes forth, but it soon destroys the tree. The varnish takes all colors alike, and If well managed, neither loses its luster by the change of the air. nor the age of the wood to which It is applied. I There is another tree from which a liquor Is obtained that differs but j little front the varnish. Another Is termed the tallow tree. This 1= as laige a ~ l.lgfc cherry tree; the leaves are of a lively red. and the shape of a heart; fruit is contained in the rind, which when ripe, opens in the middle like a chestnut; it consists of white kernels of the sire of harel nut. whose pulp has the property of tallow and of which candles are made. The white wax tree Is no less ex traordinary. it Is not so tall as the tallow tree; it has large leaves and a whiter bark. A small kind of worm fixes itself to the leaves and forms a sort of cortjb much smaller than a honey comb, the wax of which is very hard and shining, and of far 1 greater value than the common bees wax. They have In china most kinds of weeds that arc- to be found in Eu rope. and several others, among which is tse-tan. or rosewood, which if of a reddish black, and full of fine veins that seem painted. This wood is fit for the finest sort of joiners' work Feed the Cows. The largest milkers are the greatest eaters. This rule Is one you ran tie to and follow without danger of be ing d«" aired.
