for they can utilize every scrap in
making the jabots, bows and collars
that are now so much worn. The con
struction of these trifles makes pleas
ant work for the summer vacation,
and they are as useful for gifts as for
personal use. The four designs given
are not commonplace, yet they are
easy to make. The jabot is made of
mull Valenciennes lace, with embroi

SOME PARISIAN COIFFURES
Tendency Now Shows a Less Close
Mass of Hair Surmounted by
an Aigrette.
We turn to Paris for the prevail
ing coiffure, and in turning we find
slight but noticeable changes.
The present tendency is toward a
less close mass of hair to which an
aigrette or plume adds height. This
decoration is here shown worn with
a jeweled band of ribbon, which may
be gold or silver or a color studded
with brilliants or with iridescent
gems, according to the gown.
Particularly appropriate for the
young girl is the wreath of roses worn
with a not-too-flat coiffure, but a
simple one. Leaves are often substi
tuted for the roses and to good effect.
With two winged ends of black vel- j
vet, altogether suitable for an older ;
woman, is that broad band of black :
tulle wired along its edges and j
studded with jet.
And last we recommend for the j
more youthful one a simple fillet of
gold or silver gauze, with at each end
a large rose, made of cloth of gold
or silver.
Time was when the young girl
looked overdressed with her hair in
a fillet unless it was a very simple
affair, indeed; but fashions have be
come so much more elaborate that,
with a little discrimination, it Is quite
possible to single out many simple
enough hair ornaments for the youth
ful face.
Girls and Their Figures.
Stiff corsets are unknown in France.
French corsets are always supple and
hendable, and this accounts much for
the ease of French figures, which are
never tightened except at the waist,
leaving the bust and hips quite free.
If the figure is lightened in t«»o much
at thi' bust and hips, it gives too
strai'-'ht a look to the figure and
makes It stlfT and uncomfortable,
movement being rendered ungraceful
by this «tiffn<'Kß. l.et any girl try to
lace her corset only at the waist and
let her select It as soft and light as 1
possible, and then see If her figure IK
not n* grateful In shape an the French
figure.
No tight, Kfraight down, evon lacing
will ever make n pretty figure. If tin
corset cannot be made < xpresaly to '
suit the figure, then let It only be
laced In th>- middle of the waist. Rveti
then no real corset should b«- worn by
girls until the> are well In their teeus

MANTLE USED IN MANY FORMS
Transparent Wrap Has Caught the
Fancy of Fashion, and Is Surely
Here to Stay.
Chiffon, marquisette, silk voile, or
any other material that has not
warmth, but a beautiful transparent
color, is now used ror outer wraps
that may not be useful if the primary
use of dress be considered, but they
are decidedly beautiful, which is their
own excuse for being.
Mantles of beautiful hues fall like
1 clouds around the forms of their for
tunate wearers. They are weighted
with heavy fringe, silk or beaded, or
they are adorned with marabon or
heavy oriental embroidery.
The shapes are so varied that were
any attempt made to describe these
mantles there would be no end. Suf
fice it to Kay that all lengths, degrees
of fulness, variations of the lower
line and disposition of ends are al
lowable, the Individuality of the de
! signer coming into play as the de
[ riding voice.
The effect of these transparent
wraps over the filmy evening gowns
of the season is indescribable. Mere
man might ridicule and scorn the idea
of a chiffon cloak, but flaunt one of
these before the sensible creature, and
If he have an appreciation of the
beautiful he will uphold you ia your
choice of a lovely accessory.

CONSTRUCTION AND USE
OF SPLIT-LOG DRAG
Without Doubt Best end Most Practical Implement fok
Keeping Roads in Shape—How One Is made
and Its Various Uses.
King Road Drag.
(By J.. W. CHASFS, UNIVKUSITY OF
NRUItASKA AGRICULTURAL KX-
P KRIM KNT ST A TION.)
The split-log- drag, or, as it is com
monly called, the "king" drag, is with
out doubt the best implement for
keeping roads in shape and in many-
Instances is as efficient as any other
Implement In the construction of
earth roads.
The king drag can be constructed of
either a split log or a plank, but In
this state the plank is much easier to
obtain than the log, hence this brief
description pertains to the construc
tion from planks.
Select a good yellow pine, ash or
oak plank two Inches thick, twelve
Inches wide, and fourteen feet long.
Cut this in two at an angle so that one
edge of each piece is seven feet and
six inches long and the other edge is
six feet and six inches long. Spike to
the back and along the center of each
of these planks a two-inch by six-inch
piece, which reinforces the plank.
Bore tho holes for the cross stakes
about twenty-six inches apart and
four inches from each end with a two ;
and one half inch auger, using care to j
keep the auger perpendicular to the
plank. The two-inch by four-inch I
brace at the front end should start !
from tho middle of the rear plank and
drop to the bottom part of the front
plank. The blade, which is generally
made of stock cutter steel, should be
given the proper cutting slope by
placing a wedge-shaped strip between
It and the plank. One end of the
chain is fastened to a cross stake and
the other passes through a hole in
the plank and if? held in position by
means of a pin.
The use of the drag is more satis
factory if the road has first been
crowned with a blade grader, but
whenever this is not convenient and
the traffic is not too heavy the road I
may be gradually brought to a crown
by means of the drag.
The surface of the average country
road should be covered in one round j
with the drag. One horse should be
driven on the inside of the wheel
track and the other on the outside,
the drag being set, by means of the j
chain, so that it is running at an an
gle of about 45 degrees with the wheel 1
track and working the earth toward
the center of the road. In the spring I
when the roads are more likely to be •
rutty and soft it is generally better
togo over the road twice and in some |
places more times.
Tiie drag should be floored with i
boards which are separated by open 1
spaces of sufficient width so that the j
dirt which falls over will rattle'
through and yet they should be close '
enough so that the driver can move
about upon the drag quite freely.
To insure the successful operation
of th<> drag It Is necessary for the !
drivw to use careful Judgment. Some- j
times It I es. ential that the blade be j
held down so that the drag will cut
roots and weeds, while at other times i
the front edge should not bear too j
heavily u|x>n the surface as it will dig j
out a oft place whl< h would he bel
ter If left undisturbed This retails
tiou of the cutting edge ran be tie
compllsbed by the driver moving bu< k
1 and forth or to the right ami left on
th.' drag
If the road Is to he crowned with i
the drag It is often will to plow u
light furrow sl'iig the 'ides and work
i this loosened dirt to the tinier.
on roads with hesvy traftb- the drag j
should be iiM'd much ofteaer and with !
' more care than on ri.ids with light
traffic

hitch, likewise a heavy doubletree will
cause the cutting edge to settle deep
er than a light one.
Strange as it may seem, the heavier
the traffic over a properly dragged
road the better the road becomes.
There are very few periods of the
year when the use of the drag does
not benefit the road, but it does the
best work when the 801 l Is moist and
yet not too sticky. This is frequently
within a half-day's time after a rain.
When the earth is in this state it
works the best, and the effects of
working it are fully as beneficial as at
any other time. The Nebraska soils
when mixed with water and thorough
ly worked become remarkably tough
and impervious to rain and if com
pacted in this condition they become
extremely hard.
This action of the soil in becoming
so hard and smooth not only helps to
sited the water during a rain, but also
greatly retards the formation of dust.
LOW HEADED
FRUIT TREES
Many Orchartllsts Believe That
Nearer to Ground They Ca~tt
Hi'ud Trees the Bettei—
They Are Shor-t-Hveti
and Unsightly.
(By K. It. CANFIEhD.)
At the present time many orchard
ists believe that the nearer to tho
ground they can head their trees the
better and thousands of trees have
grown up like bushes without any
training at all, each shoot from near
the ground striving to become tho
body of the tree.
The trees grown in this way will
come sooner into bearing and have
a greater bearing surface, but are
short lived and unsightly, are easily
broken down by the wind and weight
of the fruit. In certain parts of tho
country where the trees are exposed
to droughts and hot winds, I would
advise low-headed trees, but as a rulo
I am in favor of medium high train
ing. The branches after the tree
comes into bearing should protect tho
trunk of the tree from the sun during
the summer.
The heading should be high enough
to secure a growth of branches at
newly right angles with the trunk,
otherwise they will form what is term
ed mal formed crotches, owing to the
natural tendency of the branches to
un upright growth. Every tree should
have a central shaft and the branches
should be evenly distributed. Care
must be "xercised In pruning not to
allow a side brunch to get ahead of
the center.
Successful Farming,
Many -i successful railroad president
would prove a failure running a
chicken farm.
The middle age city man on u sal
ary faces a terrifying old age, but the
middle age farmer can always maim
the soil support him.
Why should any farmer in good
h< alth who has grown well off by ac
live work move to town togo U>
seed?

A BAD THING TO NEGLECT.
Don't neglect the kidneys when you
notice lack of control over the secre
tions. Passages become too frequent
or scanty; urine is discolored and sedi
ment appears. No medicine for such
troubles like Doan's

Unflattering Truth.
A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. The
five children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly flattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
uays of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
"We felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor
rid medicine. So we were awfully
glad to see you, always, 'c-ause you
made us stick out our tongues. We
stuck 'em out awful far!"
The Miser of Sag Harbor.
"Economy," said Daniel W. Field,
thr- millionaire shoe manufacturer of
Huston, who at the age of forty five
has entered Harvard, "economy is es
sential to wealth, but by economy 1
don't mean niggardliness.
"Too many men fail to attain to
wealth because they practise a !
cheeseparing and mean economy that !
gi is everybody down on them.
"They practise, in fact, an economy '
like t hut of eld William lire water of j
Sag Harbor. William, you know, would i
never buy oyster because he couldn't I
eat shells and ail."
