HOW THE WOMAN PEDESTRIAN
PROTECTS HER FROCK.

-The ParpaaaUcala Baag Af
fects by Vat Waatca.
F THOSE unmitl
gated nuisances
who go around tell
ing bow they make
a practice of study
ing human nature
ever watched the
way in which a
woman holds her
dress In the street
thev would find
lots of deductions
to make as to her pecullnritles in other
ways, says the New York Herald. If
you show a philosopher bow a woman
clutches her dress, no doubt he can
tell you who she is and what she is
thinking about But tha ordinary man
who sees a woman pass him on the
street notices only how che looks, and
draws no inferences from the wlldness
or tameness of her clutch.
The left hand probably Is the one
with which the dress can be held up
most rationally, if there is anything at
all rational in the system that makes
it necessary to hold up a dress at all.
Then in the right hand can be clasped
the gloves, purse, key. umbrella and
any little parcels, and things that have
been acquired en route. It is correct
to hold out the purse a little more
prominent than th other things. One
reason for this Is that the wealth may
Impress the beholder and the other Is
that the sneak-thief may have less
trouble In sifting it out from the other
effects. All he has to do Is to grab
wildly at the woman and he can't very
well miss the purse, and then sprint
for his residence.
To hold the dress as 6ome do it,
clinch the teeth wildly, wrinkle the
forehead with desperate determina
tion, put the left arm back about fif
teen Inches abaft the shoulders, seize
a handful of the dress at a point as
far down as you can reach and fasten
on to it with the same mad energy with
which the drowning man gets hold of a
straw. Then continue your triumphant
career up or down Broadway, as the
case may be.
When the bell skirts were abolished
there was a cry of dismay from women.
"We've held up our trains for so many
years." said they, "that it has become
a second nature to us. If we haven't
anything to hold on to what shall we
do with our hands? A handful of
frock is to a woman what a walking
stick is to a man."
And the dressmakers replied: "Well,
hold onto the dresses, anyway, if you
like. There's no law against It Break
yourselves of the habit by degrees."
And that is why a woman whose skirt
clears the ground by some inches, any
way, can be seen clutching at it to
keep it out of the mud.
The prettiest dress clutch many
think is the plain everyday "perpen
dicular grip." The arm is allowed to
hang straight down by the side and the
dress seized. In this grip there is no
dislocation of the shoulder or wrench
ing of the arm to get hold of the dress
too far back. It is found that it is just
as effective and much more comfort
able to keep the arm perfectly straight
This dress clutch is especially adapted
to the stout
If the arm goes too far round it Is
not only tiring, but it tends to change
the center of gravity, and the woman
wabbles along seme what like a soft
shell crab scooting for two places at
once that are at opposite ends of the
earth. It- Is the same prlnclplo that
causes a boat with two oars on one
side and one on the other to deviate
from a straight line. If a person Is
blindfolded and turned loose on a prai
rie and told to walk perfectly straight,
he will describe a large circle. But
if a woman who is holding her dress
up with the backward sweep were
blindfolded and told to do the same
thing the change of the center of grav
ity would be so great that she would
describe a very small circle Indeed.
Then there 13 the pose with the left
arm akimbo same attitude as your
cook assumes when she says she won't
stand it any longer, but will leave at
once, except that she docs it with both
arms at once. In this pose the left
hand with a little bit of the dress
rests pressing closely against the side.
The elbow sticks out into the middle
of the street, sweeping all comers be
fore it Long steps often accompany
this pose, and the- poser walks very
fast
Sometimes the extreme end of the
dress is brought round toward the
front and folded over gracefully. But
the whole thing of diminishing the area
of frock must always remain a puzzle
to the male philosopher. As a sailor
would put it: "What's the use of hav
ing so many saik if they're always
reefed?" The word "reef" aptly de
scribes what some women do to their
dresses in rainy weather.
Her Hour of Ite'eat.
An amusing Incident occurred at a
fashionable wedding In London. One
friend, who determined to save her
money and credit at the same time,
took a broken earring to a famous Jew
eler of Bond street and ordered the lit
tle stone to be set as a scarf pin for the
groom. As she sagely remarked: "It
does me no good, and coming from such
a famous establishment they are sure
to prize it and think I paid a lot of
money. When the package was re
turned from the shop the wedding
guest failed to examine her proposed
present and merely dispatched it with
her card and compliments. Imagine
her disgust when strolling through
the rooms where the bridal gifts wtre
displayed, to find a dozen people aDout
her offering, and each one smiling. For
a moment she hesitated, and then
pressed forward, and lo! there was the
precious white-satin covered box bear
ing the prized name, it is true, but alas!
below, "From repairing department"
and even worse than all, resting on the
blue cotton beside the pin, was an old
broken bit of earring returned by the
conscientious firm.

THAT TERRIBLE BOY.
He Explained Matters Which lib Mother
Did Not Want Known.
A woman, accompanied by her son,
who was about 9 years old, was a pass
enger on the Staten Island boat the
other . day, says the Detroit Free
Press. She was a very nervous woman
and he a boy who wanted to see what
was going on. He wanted to see the
boat leave the slip, but the mother
seized his arm and said:
"Harry, what did I tell you? Now,
you sit right down and keep quiet"
Later on he wcuted to see Castle
William and Ellis island, but she gave
him a cuff on the ear and exclaimed:
"Harry, must I whip you before all
these people?"
"But, can't I see anything?" he pro
tested. "Yes, you can look around the
cabin."
He was quiet for five minutes and
then edged away to look at an ocean
steamer. He had only reached the win
dow when the mother was after him,
and as she shook him and flopped him
down she said:
"I don't know why I brought you
along."
"I do," ho answered.
"The idea of your acting as you do."
"You brung me along," he continued,
in a voice which reached every part
of the cabin, "because you was going
to get married and give me a new pa,
but when we got there he didn't show
up, and I hope he rever will."
During the next ten minutes that
boy had the range of the boat, while
his mother sat bolt upright and kept
her eyes fastened on the ceiling.
A Modern "Marchioness.
The waitresses of London want their
champion. A very bitter cry has been
raised by them and for them in many
quarters of late, and never more pa
thetically than In the Shoreditch coun
ty court recently. Hero a girl of 13,
who may be -described as the "Mar
chioness" of a coffee tavern, sued her
employer for two months' wages, one
for work done, the other for notice due
on summary dismissal. She had been
discharged for coming down late in the
morning that is to say, at 5 o'clock
instead of 4:30. It turned out that she
never got to bed till 12:45 a. m. and
for these twenty-odd hours of labor a
day minus two hours for rest in the
afternoon she received Just 12 shil
lings a month. Her interesting em
ployer represented that on the morn
ing in quesion, "sho was crawling
about and could not do anything." 'l
don't wonder," was the simple and suf
ficient answer of the Judge. The un
happy girl was so poor that she actual
ly could not pay the hearing-fee until
seme unknown benefactor in court
handed her the money. Of course she
won her case with costs, and with an
additional four shillings for her at
tendance. Twice twelve is twenty-four
and four are twenty-eight the poor
"Marchioness" has probably more cap
ital than ever she owned In her life.
She will be sorely tempted to spend the
whole of it in a good fortnight's sleep.

Greatest American Kicker.
The largest mule that ever walked on
American soil Is now, or was recently,
the property of one George H. Johnson,
a farmer living a few miles east of
Honey Grove, Texas. His muleship is
exactly l&hi hands, or 6 feet 2 inches in
height, being exactely 7 inches
higher than the famous Los Pecos (Old
Mexico) mule, which was so widely ad
vertised in 1890-91 'as being "the most
gigantic specimen of the mule family
the world has ever known." The
Honey Grove mule is not slim and raw
boned, but is built in proportion to his
height weighing 1.619 pounds.

RESIDENT of one
of the large cities
last summer com
plained to the writ
er that the milk of
his milkman
soured on his
hands after be had
bad it only a few
hours. He saw no
reason why this
should be so, since
other milkmen were able to sell milk
to their customers that would keep for
days in a fresh state. He therefore re
solved to change milkmen and get one
that would be more honest In his deal
ings, for it was very evident to him that
the milk he had been getting was old
milk, perhaps several days old.
He was answered that the fact that
tho milk soured In reasonable time un
der the influence of more than usual
heat was to the credit of the milkman
and not against him. It proved that
his milk was in a normal condition and
not doctored up with boracic acid or like
antiseptic.. This leads to the thought
that in our great city milk trade there
is always a premium being put on dis
honesty. It takes a very conscientious
man to hold to the straight path, when
even his honesty is charged up against
him, and his pocket is made to suffer
for his well-doing. Ex.
Ioss on Poor Stock.
The farmers of America lose millions
of dollars in the aggregate by keeping
scrub fowls. This Is a proposition that
cannot be controverted. And many of
them lose money by keeping no fowls
at all for market purposes or fowls for
revenue. There is great difference be
tween mongrel and scrub fowl. The
mongrel may be a large, composite fowl
of pure blood that is, it may be made
by a cross of pure bloods upon pure
bloods, or a cross of pure bloods npon
common stock. In either case It Is far
removed from a scrub, which Is a meas
ly little common fowl without a trace
of good blood In Its composition. Such
fowls, even at maturity, do not dress
more than from one to two pounds, and
it is a good specimen that will dress
the latter weight A few days ago a
year-old hen was dressed at the editor's
home which weighed 5 pounds when
ready for the pot. And it was a mon
grel hen, too, a cross of Brown Leg
horn cock on Plymouth Rock hens. The
hen was fat, but we could have put a
pound and a half more fat on, making
the bird weigh seven pounds.
Now, suppose every grower of poul
tryall breeders of fowls was to put
two or more additional pounds of meat
on the body of each fowl he raises,
would it not make a difference of mil
lions of pounds, taking the country
over? It would more than double the
total of pounds for consumption of
food. Where a million pounds of poul
try are now raised, two million pounds
would be marketed, and thus double the
income of the farmer or grower from
this product alone. The estimate Is
based on the growing of scrub stock,
which is a waste of time and feed.
Rut this scrub stock can be improved
and doubled in bIzo by the introduction
of a few pure bred females and a good
male or two, depending on the size of
the flock. Besides more eggs would be
produced, and of better quality, and
these would add to the farmer's profits.
Let farmers everywhere improve their
fowls. There Is good money in it Ex
change. Slse and Shapo of Boosts.
Roosts in shape should be round or
half round. It is a question which of
these two forms Is best We have al
ways supposed that the all-round roost
was the kind meant by nature, as the
feet of all roosting birds are so con
structed that they naturally grasp a
round object. An Australian poultry
keeper, however, believes that a roost
flattened on the under side is preferred
by the birds. He put both kinds in his
hen house and the fowls left the round
ones for the ones that had been partly
flattened. He believes that the toes of
the birds can grasp the latter kind of
roost much better than the all-round
ones.
As to the size of roosts, that must de
pend somewhat on the age and size of
the bird. Most of our poultry houses
have roosts of one size, and the fowls
are expected to like them whether they
fit or not A chick that weighs one
pound must certainly find some dis
comfort in clinging to a roost made for
a rooster weighing eight pounds. The
roosts of our poultry keepers vary in
diameter all the way from one to three
Inches. What is the best size? Prob
ably it would be better to have different
sized roosts in every pen and let the
birds choose for themselves.
The Country Batter Bayer.
"We refer to the country grocer who
buys for goods the butter made by his
customers. He Is frequently at the
mercy of the poorest butter makers In
his township. They can't sell their
butter to private customers or to the
commission houses; hence it turns up
at the grocery. The grocer pays 10 or
12 cents a pound for It, and that Is
frequently more than It is worth, as
the same butter If sent to a city would
be graded as "'grease." Does the grocer
tell the farmer his butter is not good?
Far from it; he can't afford to lose a
customer. Often he gives the butler a
word or two of praise, which convinces
the farmer that his wife Is not to be
beaten as a butter maker. It would
never do for the groceryman to set
himself up as judge over the butter of
his patrons.
MUklas Machines Yet Theoretic.
In spite of the fact that It has been
many years since the first appearance
of the milking machine in some form,
we yet have practically only a milking
machine in theory. That is, it has not
passed beyond the experimental stage.
It is true, a few of these machines are
being used by the experimental farms
and by a few big dairymen, but even in
those cases the use is merely to demon
strate the possibility of using the ma
chines and cot because any great ad
vantage is gained by them. We would
be glad to see them a success, for they
would remove from dairying some of
its worst features, but to the present
time the progress has been so slow that
the encouragement for the immediate
future is not great. Farmers' Re
view. Fire from Spontaneous Combustion.
The Pennsylvania experiment station
reports a fire from spontaneous com
bustion of second crop timothy and
clover. Many tons were charred that
did not take fire, the latter event being
prevented by water being thrown on the
hot mass as soon as it was exposed to
the air.
Im am Iowa convention, Mr. Cowmle
spoke aa follows on shepherd dogs:
Tt would he utterly Impossible to
raise sheep In Scotland without dogs.
One dog there Is worth fifty mem In
taking care of sheep. It would bo ab
solutely impossible to take sheep away
up lato the mountains and tramp them
for twenty miles as they do without
two or three dogs. A shepherd there
will take care of a thousand to three
thousand sheep. He will go at the head
a whole day, walking along and he will
have a dog behind them and perhaps
one at each side and they will keep
their places and when the sheep come
home at night they are yarded down
at the foot of the mountain or in.some
valley. As they go Into the yard' the
shepherd counts them and It Is surpris
ing how fast a man when he has had
experience will do that
He will count those sheep going into
the gateway and count them ten, twen
ty, forty, sixty. Many a time there will
be two or three sheep missing, and the
dog is told to go and get those sheep
and he has to go. It may he sunrise
next morning, but he doesn't come hack
until he brings the sheep with him.
But It Is entirely different here. The
sheep are kept in fields and there is
probably not the necessity for dogs that
there Is there. There it would be an
Impossibility without dogs. No man
can go over those mountains and into
those recesses as a dog will do and
search for them as he will do; and
where there are. as in Scotland, moun
tains where different shepherds have
their flocks of sheep, they sometimes
meet and get mixed and the flocks will
get together, and no man can separate
them. The dogs invariably do that I
have seen at a fair held at the town
where I was born where there were over
twenty thousand sheep for sale, all kept
in small pens, probably one or two or
five hundred, where they were to be
sold. A storm came up and blew down
the fence, or the gates as they were
called. They were made like the gates
dove-tailed together as you see fences
along the railroad, and removed after
the fair. A heavy storm blew down all
those fences and the sheep became
mixed. Those shepherds would have
been utterly powerless to separate the
sheep without the dogs. Each shep
herdand there were probably fifty or
a hundred of them, that had come from
all parts of the mountatins with their
sheep to be sold at the fair each one
took bis place and called his dogs, and
the dogs went into the great flock, pick
ing out the sheep in bunches of ten,
twenty and thirty, and brought them
out, and the moment they came out
they were told to go back and bring
out more sheep, and those dogs worked
there for hours on a cold November
day, with their tongues rolling out as
if it were in July, to get those sheep,
and there was never a shepherd among

shepherd and tell him that he could get

you didn't know anything about the
sheep business.
Symptom of Ifos; Cholera.
Symptoms vary much according to
the severity of attack, says an Indiana
Experiment Station bulletin. Often the
hog will be found dead before It is
known to be ailing, while in chronic
cases it may be sick for two or three
weeks. The condition of the eyes give
early indications of disease, the mucous
membranes become reddened, the lids
gummy and. glue together. The pigs
appear chilly, and He In tho hot sun
when they would ordinarily remain in
the shade. They will hunt for litter
or bedding under which they can se
crete themselves. The appetite Is lost
and a dlarrohea Is developed. In the
earliest stage, constipation may be
present, but diarrhea nearly always en
sues before tho attack is over. The
attack may be or may not be attended
with a cough which may be frequent
or only when the animal gets up from
its bed. In breathing, the ribs seem to
remain quiet, and a quick Jerk is seen
in the flank at each expiration. Lame
ness in one or more limbs, stiffness of
me DacK, imcKing ana cracKing of the
ears, scabs on the skin, purpleness of
the belly or patches on the body arc all
attendant A common expression from
the farmer is that "No two die alike."
In swine plague the respiratory symp
toms are early developed and more
characteristic than in hog cholera. On
post mortem, the intestines and lungs
are found to be the points of attack.
Poultry Notes.
For egg production variety of food is
desirable, though not absolutely nec
essary. e e
Among wild birds the greatest egg
producers are those that subsist more
largely upon seeds than upon animal
food.
e
Egg production generally pays better
than the raising of poultry for meat,
except where "early broilers can be pro
duced. e e e
To breed poultry for the early mar
ket we should select rapidly growing
breeds such as the Plymouth Rocks or
Leghorns.
e e e
We hear a great deal of the corrraon
fowl but arc of the impression that
most of our flocks have been modified
by the introduction of birds of stand
ard breeds.
You had better not be too ready to
dispose of the rooster after his first
season of service. Knep him. as he
will be more valuable for a breeder next
year than this.
Why Moses Prohibited Xork.
An institute worker says: With re
gard to the prohibition against the use
of pork by Moses, there are differences
of opinion. One writer supposes the
law prohibited swine because of their
filthiness and observes that it is well
known with what care and precision
the law forbid3 all filthiness and dirt,
even In the fields and camp, as well
as In the cities. Another states that
the Jews abstained from it in conse
quence of a leprosy, from which they
had severely suffered, and to which
the hog, in those climates, is very sub
ject; that throughout Palestine leprosy
is an epidemic disease, and, the Israel
ites being overrun with it at the pe
riod of their quitting Egypt, Moses
found it necessary to enact a variety of
laws respecting it, and prohibiting the
use of swine as an article of food was
one of these.

The Pear Tree on Wisconsin Soil, by
W. J. Mosl. of Yorkville: Mr. Moil Is
an enthusiast im fruit growing and
mentioned that his taste in this direc
tion was early acquired by creeping
through the hedge on his hands and
knees when a mere lad to get the pears
which lay on the ground of the neigh
bor's pear orchard, and he then pro
posed, if he ever grew up to be a man he
would have a pear orchard of his own.
Mr. Moil Is In a favorable location for
pears, mear Lake Michigan, but would
not urge fruit growers throughout the
state to plant extensively of this fruit.
Thinks the price of young trees Is so
high that manar do not care to plant
on that accotfbt. The Kelffer latery
hardy bujtpoor fruit as compeared to
other varieties which bar can grow.
3eeds from the Kelffejaawell as from
some of the Japanese varieties, are
hardy, and he Is using these for stocks
to bud on. This in two years' time will
give you trees large enough to set In
orchard. Would give open cultivation
for his locality.
Mr. Kellogg, of Janesvllle. gave his
experience as adverse to pear growing.
Mr. Dartt. of Owatonna. Minn., stated
that the Longworth pear was doing well
there at the station, as also some of the
Japanese varieties.
Mr. Coe, of Fort Atkinson. Introduced
the matter of a monthly publication' of
the transactions of the society some
what on the plai of Minnesota. After
some discussion of the question, a com
mittee of three was appointed by the
president to consult with the state
printer, and 'If satisfactory arrange
ments could be made, then the proceed
ings to be published in monthly parts,
with four to eight pages of timely mat
ter each month as a distinct feature of
the work. The committee reported fa
vorably to the publication of 400 copies
each month, with 4.000 additional copies
for gratuitous distribution in April and
November. The report of the committee
was adopted, and by vote Mrs. Vie H.
Campbell, of Evansville. was chosen as
local editor, leaving the editing of the
transactions solely with the secretary
as formefiy. After receiving several

The following varieties, and number
of each well cultivated, will give a suc

The above varieties are well tested

are other good kinds having special

Getting Back Feed. When we feed
a ton of bran to a fattening steer al
ready fully grown we get back almost
all the mineral matter and nitrogen in
the manure. When we feed this same
bran to a cow in full flow of milk, we
get back about seventy-five per cent
of all the mineral matters and nitro
gen. Provided. In all cases, we save all
the liquid excrement If these are
wasted, most of the nitrogen and pot
ash are lost. The phosphoric acid only
for the most part passes off in the solid
excrement. Let no more speak against
the great value of manure made from
bran or any other food for that mat
ter, until he has carefully saved both
the solid and liquid portions. W. A.
I Henry.
Avoid Hog Cholera. Little is known
regarding the life history of the germs
outside of the body, but it is known that
the disease cannot develop without
their presence. As medical treatment
of the diseased animals has given very
unsatisfactory results, and it was
found to be far more important to
prevent the disease getting an en
trance into the system than to at
tempt to cure, it became the ob
ject of this preliminary study to
determine whether the disease could
be prevented and whether the means of
preventing it were practicable. There
is little ttouble in finding an occasional
pork producer who has been In the
business for years and has never lost a
case, while his neighbors have lost re

Use Vigorous Plants. A weak plant
In a garden is expensive, even if it cost
nothing. Farmer Smith sent away for
some of the best settings for his small
fruit patch. Said a kindly neighbor:
"Why don't you get something cheap

I'm too poor." He voiced a most im

The League of Argos, formed B. C.
421, was a combination of Argos, Cor

against Athens. It was designed to

its purpose was frustrated shortly after
by the unexpected incident of Athens
joining the league and becoming one of
its members.
' Butter Too Much Washed. Recent

however, so flavorless that it bad the

analysis showed it to be pure butter. It
had evidently been washed and worked
