RUSSET SHOE POLISH. formula for Making One°M Own Sup ply of Liquid Cleanser nnd u StllTer I'linte. Replying to inquiries from corre spondents, ihe American Druggist gives these recipes, the first for a liquid pol ish. and the second for a stiller paste: The liquid preparation has a composi tion resembling the following: Yellow beeswax, two ounces; flaxseed oil, three ounces; oil of turpentine, ten ounces. Dissolve by means of a water bath in a closed vessel and add hard yellow soap finely shaved, cne and a quarter ounces. Dissolve the soap with the aid of heat in 34 ounces of water and add the solution to the solution of yellow wax and flax seed oil formed in the first instance. A nice russet brown color may be impart ed to this shoe polish by incorporating about three grains of Bismarck brown to each ounce of the polish. Russet shoe paste lias many of the characteristics of rosin cerate. It usual ly consists of an ointment of yellow wax and turpentine, colored with palm oil. The following formula may be used: Yellow wax, one ounce; palm oil, one ounce; oil turpentine, three ounces; oil mirbane, 15 drops. Make into a paste. The color *nay be heightened if not of the right shade by the judicious use of butter coloring made from an na t to. Strawberry Pudding. Take a quart of nice ripe berries and mash in a deep dish.

A Characteristic Anecdote of the UK Emiireia of Annlrlii Helmed by Hee Companion. The biography of Elizabeth, recently published by Harper & Bros, under the title "The Martyrdom of an Em press," contains many interesting in cidents and adventures of which the empress was the heroine during her long and eventful life. Elizabeth and her constant companion, the author, used to disguise themselves and visit the slums of the cities, nursing the sick and comforting the afflicted. One night they were riding through the outskirts of Pesth when they heard a woman's screams from a rickety hovel. "On the impulse of the moment," says the author, "we both leaped from our horses, and, rushing to the door and pushing it open, we found ourselves in a villainously dirty room, where a huge ruffian of a man was dragging a woman about the floor by her luxuriant, un bound hair, kicking her vigorously as he did so. Before 1 realized what was happening the empress had laid her heavy hunting crop about the fellow's face, and so surprised was he at our unexpected appearance and at this vig orous onslaught that he dropped bis victim and stared at us in blank amaze ment. His astonishment was, however, as nothing to ours when the ill-used dame sprang to her feet, and, putting her arms akimbo, demanded, in her j shrillest Hungarian, nnd with a torrent of invectives, what 'we hussies' meant by interfering with her husband. The empress burst into a peal of laughter, and taking from her habit a couple of gold ten-gulden pieces she handed them to this model •benedict, exclaiming: 'Beat her, my friend; beat her all she I wants. She deserves it for being so loyal to you.' " EXQUISITE HOSIERY. Five n« a Ml|fnn Which Form Part of MTM. Willie K. Vnnderbllt'l Elaborate Troumteau.

The home dressmaker may find it useful to know that when bodices are laced instead of being buttoned or hooked the eyelet holes through which the cords are passed should be made in a narrow space between two small whalebone strips. The whalebone on each side of the row of eyelets prevents the cord from wrinkling- the bodice. The places for the bones may be pre pared, but the bones need not be slipped in place until the eyelets are made, as it is much asier to make the latter be fore the material is stiffened. Very small, round whalebones are most often used for the stiffening, as they adapt themselves more readily to the curves of the figure than do the fiat ones, which will only bend backward and forward.

Almost Indl*pennahle Where Swine, Skri'ii fir ( alven Have to lie Moved Around. Often is it desirable on the farm to move swine, sheep, calves and the like from one building. pen or pasture in ilosure to another, but just how to do it always is a problem, for neither a calf, sheep nor pip likes, as a rule, to be led Dr driven. Albeit they are usually willing enough togo in company with others, they decidedly object to going alone, and if "forced" it generally takes 1 lot of energy to convey them e\en a little ways. Happily, however, all this trouble ian easily be averted, and the feelings CRATE FOR MOVING STOCK. of the young animal not imposed upon lln the least. Simply goto work and | make a crate on wheels, such as is shown herewith in the illustration, and I into this any calf, pig. sheep or the like can be driven, the door closed, and "His majesty" wheeled away in triumph. Indeed, if any calves happen to be dropped by their dams in the pasture, nothing devisable is more convenient j for bringing them into the barn. It j is also exceedingly useful for convey ing fat sheep and veal calves to that ! place where it is customary on the farm to "dress" them for market. The fact, is, the worth of this simple affair can not be estimated as a labor-saving de vice until one has used it awhile, and as its cost of construction in the com- I parative sense is very small, no farmer j ought to be without it.—Frederick O. Sibley, in N. Y. Tribune. GIANT AMONG HOGS. It Measure Over Vine Feet from the | Tip of It* None to the Tail and Welshed I,<>oo round*. The largest hog ever raised was re cently slaughtered in Xew York. The animal was a Jersey red boar, two and one-half years old, weighing alive 1,609 pounds and dressing 1,336 pounds. The National J'rovisioner has the following to say of the prodigy: "This huge swine measured over nine feet from tip of its nose to end of its tail. It meas ures two and one-half feet across the loin, two and one-half feet across the ham and six feet in girth. This makes the hog three feet through. It is split at the shoulder, and to look into the ffreat carcass is like looking into the crevice of a cavern. The carcass spreads across the perspective of the store like a Titanic statue of pork personified. It also looks like the body of the great hog god embalmed and reposing in its gi gantic majesty. From hip bone to toe it measures three and one-half feet and about the same from the crest of the shoulder blade to the bottom of the foot. The great fat jowls extend nearly two feet across. From between the ears »"» the tail is over seven feet. The tail itself is the smallest thing in the big proportions. It is a mere point in the air. The face of the hog is also small for the size of the animal. It is only 16 inches long. The hams are monsters in size, and the vast stretch of pork in the long waist is borne just above the ground by four comparatively small feet. The usual p«; ker is a mere pigmy by its side. The t-iggest hog heretofore grotvn weighed pounds dead weight." Feedinic Too Much firalp. Cows differ much in their ability to make profitable use of the grain fed them. Those which have the beef tend ency strongly developed will at once uegin to fatten on grain, unless it is fed in such moderate amount .and combined with a large amount of succulent food. Those who have ensilage or roots, es pecially beet or mangel wurtzel, can feed more grain to cows and have the fat goto the milk pail than those who only have dry feed. It is not safe to feed a farrow cow much grain, nor yet one that is near the time to drop her calf, as it will then ftilmulate the milk glands too much and probably cause garget. Yet it is an advantage to a cow to be in pretty good llesh when she drops her calf. The inside fat she then carries will be mostly used up in en riching the milk the following sum mer. Keep the Mnnfgera ('lran. Much dust and soiled food is apt to accumulate in the horse's manger, and as he is all the time breathing over it, the manger quickly becomes so of fensive that much food is wasted. Much of this feed will, however, be eaten by cattle, as they will eat freely after horses. Even the horse excrement is not so offensive to them as to prevent them from picking out bits of hay mixed with it. liut the horse has a more delicate taste than any other farm ani mal except a sheep. When cows pick over th<? piles of horse manure for the hay ftiey are probably in need of salt, and are attracted by the saline taste of horse urine.—Farmers' Ktview.

The Officer Proved Ilimoelf a Hero When the Time lame, but He Never .tleaillon* It. Mulvaney had been taken on the force the week before. This night he took up a beat for the fir,-t time. Up and down Farmer street, *t the rear of the big Woodward avenue buildings, he walked with a measured tread, his chest expanding, his lips whistling the \Vhile that popular air of ten years ago: "He's on the Police Force Now." Once in awhile Mulvaney would look lit his watch at the corner of Gratiot avenue, where the frosted bulb of an electric light hung over <tihe street. Then he would thrust the great silver timepiece back into an inside pocket, and, buttoning his coat close over it, would resume his journey down the street. It was just a little past midnight. No one had crossed Mulvanev's path since ten but t wo drunken men, and he had seen nothing oat of the usual but a eat having a fit on an ash Darrel behind one of t-he upper corners on the beat. At the lower end he walked hack. Past Gratiot he strolled. There is a va cant lot just there and at the edge of il Mulvaney stopped. He glanced up at the back windows of a big Woodward avenue store. The rays of tthe street, lamp shone upon the windows. One glance and Mulvaney gasped. Against the panes, away up there on the fourth floor, he clearly discerned the outlines of two human forms. "lloorglars, be gobh!" exclaimed Mulvaney. The sight meant action on his part. lie crawled 'into the alley. All the lower windows of the big store were barred. They had not been tampered with. Mulvaney ran around to tftie front and aroused the Woodward avenue offi cer, who was leaning Against a corner of a store door and dozing. He explained the discovery hastily. The two found the night watchman. lie held (his breath while he unlocked the door. The three stepped noiselessly in side the 'building. "The foorth llure," whispered Mulvaney. Up, up the stairs they crept. They crawled out upon the fourth floor at the head of the stair way. Mulvaney, his heart thumping beneath his new blue coat, crouched on his hands and knees behind a counter and peered around tin? corner. There stood the figures by t'he window. The three men whispered. They drew their revolvers, and of a sudden all three stood upright. "Throw up yer hands!" cried Mulvaney. "Throw up your hands!" cried the other two. And a rush was made upon the forms there bv the window. The forms didn't move. They couldn't. They were display dummies taken up there to be repaired.—Detroit Free Press. "What "IvalMomineM*' Are.
