TRETTY BOUDOIR SLIPrEItS.
Charming Indeed are the newest slip
pers designed for mademoiselle's wear
In tte boudoir. They are opera shape,
of the softest kind, and having' a modi
fied Louis Qui nze heel. The particular
pair which attracted the admiring at
tention of the writer were of n soft,
dull purple color. The top of each
slipper was furnished with a turnover
about an Inch and a half deep Jf quilt
ed heliotrope silk, a very pale shade,
bordered with embroidered pink rose
buds. A flat bow of heliotrope ribbon
upplled finish in front.
HOW TO HANG LINEN.
Always hang table linen In good
hape, for It Is almost Impossible to
Iron out wrinkles which dry In It.
Hang both tablecloths and sheets
across the line evenly, with the weight
on the warp threads, ends down, for
the warp Is stronger than the woof,
and If hung habitually lengthwise the
goods will spilt across the folds. Iron
down the middle, folding them exactly
opposite from the way they huug on
the line, and they will wear longer.
If clothes have become discolored
through Improper washing, try for a
few wash days the plan of scalding
them Just before putting them Into
the last rinse water. This will whiten
them beautifully, although it Is more
trouble.
Never take I je clothes from the line
damp and fold down to Iron; let them
Ret quite dry, and then bring them In,
folding them properly when they are
taken from the line, as this will save
much Ironing out of wrinkles.
ItOTAL SIAMESE WOMEN.
Advocates of dress reform will heart
ily approve of the costume which Is
worn by the Queen of Siam. It con
sists of a white blouse, black knicker
bockers and stockings and shoes with
buckles.
"Siamese women," says the Graphic,
"are described as graceful In movement
and figure, and as fitting models for a
sculptor. Their skin is olive colored,
their cheekbones prominent, their ejios
black and almond shaped.
"The Siamese are orthodox Buddhists
and are strict followers of their faith.
Their religious fervor is shown by the
largo number of bonzes whom they
maintain, and the number of pagodas
and sanctuaries to be seen In their
country. .The rich, not content with
giving lindsome donations, build end
endow temples,' In which they Intend
their ashes to be placed In one lino;
While the poor give an Idol to the tem
ple. The deep religious sentiment of
the Siamese is bound up with a feeling
of reverence for their King, to whom
they give the most exalted titles, such
as 'Master of the World' and 'Lord of
Our Lives.' King Chulalongkorn vis
ited England In 1807. Previous to that
he had sent his sons to be educated In
England. Queen Sowaya Tongsl did
tiot accompany her husband on that
occasion, being Intrusted with the gov
ernment of the country In her hus
band's absence."
FOR BOUND SHOULDERED GIRLS
Although gymnastics are so prevalent
these days, there IS' danger for the
young growing girls becoming round
shouldered, and probably no one suf
fers greater agony of mortification than
the girl or wo,man with this affliction.
The girl of fourteen can easily, avoid
round, shoulders and cultivate an erect
carriage if she will. First of all, It Is
necessary for her to become accus
tomed to sleeping without a pillow,
A pillow pushes the shoulders forward,
and the pillow habit, moreover, is an
unnatural one, which civilized folks
have cultivated. Babies do not require
them and they rather object when one
Is placed under their little heads.
All day long the round shouldered
girl should walk as though she were
balancing a book on her head, and if
she cannot keep, this thought in her
mind, let her remember to keep the
back of her neck pressed against her
collar. This will keep the, head and
BhouldcTS erect, and help to acquire a
good carriage. To strengthen the shoul
der muscles and broaden the chest take
this exercise i-ery day afty times in
'the morning and fifty times at night.
Standing in a doorway, spread both
arms until the hands touch the door
ledge on either side on a level with the
shoulders. Grasp the ledge firmly and
then step forward as far as you can
without removing the hands from their
position. Now step backward as far
las possible. Walk back and forth in
)thls manner the given number of times.
Each time the muscles of the chest are
brought Into action. When you are
Seated In a chair be sure that your
Jsplne is straight and have it touch
the back of the chair. If the growing
girj would remember these things and
watch herself constantly, she would
have no need for gymnastic exercises
when she grows up. Newark Adver

The woman suffrage Interests have
been traveling a somewhat shorter road
this year than usual before the various
Legislatures where they have appeared.
There has developed a fashion of out
ward courtesy, which involved pro
longed hearings and often the adoption
by one branch of the proposed measure,
with the understanding that the other
branch should administer the desired
coup de grace. This season there has
beeu more business and less, fictitious
courtesy. It has been out on the first
round. Women opposed to the exten
sion of the suffrage do not enjoy ap
pearing in public and arguing. They
seem ready for the present to let the
existing apathy demonstrate the lack
of genuine interest in the matter, and
to trust that the usual objection may
be relied upon. Hartford Courant

to Wear
The smartest hats are cither pic
turesquely large or quite small affairs.
The most carefully studied part of
all bodices and coats is the shoulder
line.
Skirts are shirred, puffed, tucked and
trimmed with lace ruffles and embroid
eries. . , ,
The slashed turban with cockade and
tall, well-spread olgret, is a favorite
choice.
For slender figures of medium height
nothing is more jaunty than the long,
full-skirted redlngote. f
All smart sleeves are built out into
a square military top line, no matter
bow soft the material may be.
This is the season when coat suits
and rain coats are most in demand,
and there are many new models, shown.
Long jackets of faultless cut and
perfect fit are very becoming, and gTve
to the wearer quite a distinguished
look.
Many of the bats are trimmed with
wreaths, half-wreaths, rosettes of rib
bon and clusters of large roses without
foliage.
The small hats are worn with street
costumes of tailor-made severity; the
larger hats add much charm to gowns
of more elaborate ctyle.
With a costume of cloth the red
lngote is of velvet; while, with the vel
vet gown, the redlngote is of cloth al
ways the same tone with collar, broad
revers and deep cuffs of the velvet
The velvet costumes are quite as
popular as ever, and it is not too late
to have such a costume made; for one
can wear them until quite late in the
season, and they always make a ser
viceable frock for fall.
DOES OUT WEST
His Prosencs Ever Required on the
Ranch, For There Are Unseen
Dan;ars to Be Cuarded Against.
The actn.nl work with the cattle per
formed by the cowboy might not re
quire over half his time. Hut slight
as were the days of his recreation, his
presence was ever required on the
ranch, for there was the unseen to be
guarded against. Some of his work
was done under circumstances requir
ing unlimited patience, and then again
with a rush where all the comfort
of lire were left behind. In the Clierrt
kee Strip, now part of Oklahoma, I
have seen a prairie lire break out from
the reflection of the sun on a tin can,
throwing its signal column of black
smoke Into the sky, instanily summon
ing every man within fifty miles. Or It
might occur nt night, from different
causes, with Its brilliant horizon, the
flames leaping upward, visible at the
distance of twenty miles, while every
breeze was saturated with the smell
of burning grass. Under such circum
stances horseflesh was never spared In
reaching the actual scene. The first
men to arrive would begin back or
counter firing, as It was called, much
the same as city firemen blow up blocks
in the pathway of a conflagration, tak
lug advantage of every arroyo or dry
wash, and with saddle blankets beat
ing out their own lire on the leeward
before it could gain headway. If a
wide enough belt could be thus burned,
in advance of the main conflagration,
It might check the tire, or, jumping the
emergency guard, break out anew on
its course. Within two or three hours
after a prairie fire had thus started,
there might arrive fifty to 100 men. Be
ing plainsmen as well as cowboys, th?y
knew what to do. Frequently several
light cow brutes were killed, beheaded,
and split down the spine, leaving only
the hide to hold the body together. The
carcass of the animal was then turned
flesh down, ropes were fastened from n
fore and hind foot to pommels of sad
dles, and, riding astride the' burning
grass, the body was dragged over the
tire, virtually rubbing it out. Other
men followed on horseback to beat out
any remaining flames and relieve the
mounts by pulling on the ropes. This
process could only be applied on the
flanks of the main conflagration, and
on the leoward of all counter tiring, as
no one dared dispute the sway of the
fiery monster, except well in its ad
vance. Such a fire might last throe
hours or three days, nt the termination
of which the men would lido for the
nearest camp for rest and refreshment.

The political evils of war are almost

to do so. From the time that the sol

Forge on account of ineliicient supply
service and dishonest contractors.down
to the purchase of army transports and
"embalmed"' beef In 1S0S, profusion
and peculation have invariably attend
ed our military operations. This evil,
moreover; usually outlasts a war, be

We called the little darling Kittv.
At eight she showed such roguish wit
That we began to call her Kit.

And then, somehow, we called her Katy.
At sixteen she was more sedate.
And then, ot course, we called her Kate.

TnE PLUMED SERPENT.
In the forests of Yucatan stnnds
the Indian village of Manl. It is built
on the site of a great city of the same
name, the ruins of which are now
mounds of sculptured masonry over
grown with trees.
At tho corner of one of the village
streets is a well from which opens a
vast cavern extending, the natives say,
many miles toward Merlda. Steps lead
down the side of the well to the water
and from tho pool at the bottom the
Indian women bring tho wnter In great
jars on their heads.
The natives will not venture far Into
this great cavern, for somewhere In the
depths, they say, still lurks the mother
of tho Dwarf of Uxmnl.
In the long years before Christopher
Columbus, when Mnnt wis a rich city
and Yucatan was part of a powerful
empire, this old woman, having made
her son governor of the city of Uxmnl,
retired from the splendors of his conrt
and traveled ninny a weary mile till she
came to Manl, where she took up her
abode in the cavern.
In tho cavern she met a big serpent
with a plumed bend. Under a large
tree by the side of a river that ran
through the cavern she used to sit with
the serpent for hours nt a time.
One day she said to the serpent that
she was very fond of children.
"So am I," replied the serpent with n
sly look In his little eyes "for eating."
The old woman wns horrified nt first,
but finally she became so fond of the
serpent that she agreed to help him to
his favorite food. So the old woman
went into the city nnd told the Gov
ernor tlint hereafter the water of the
yell would be sold, not for money, but
for a child. If tho tribute was not fur
nished, then the big serpent would
come out of tho cavern and eat up the
people who came for water.
There wns great grief in the city of
Manl when tho heralds went about pro
claiming tho demands ' of tho old
woman. The rich would not give up
their children, and when tho officers
of the Governor tried to seize upon
the children of tho poor there wns a
riot, and the people chased the Gov
ernor back to his pnlnce, tearing bis
splendid feather cloak nnd knocking
off his plumed head dress of gold nnd
gems.
So the Governor summoned his
guards about him and shut himself up
In his palace.
Things went on this way for three
days, for nobody dared to visit the
well where the great plumed serpent
lay in wait for them. ; '
On tho morning of the .-..atth day
there appeared at tho Governor's pal
ace a beautiful boy about fourteen
years old. ne was dressed like the
poorer class of citizens, and when the
Governor saw lilm, he exclaimed
"What do you hero? Are you come to
slay me?" "No, excellency," replied
the boy, "I nm como to offer myself
as food for the serpent."
"Good," cried the Governor. "Good;
bring rich food and rich clothes. You
shall feed well yourself before you are
food for the serpent."
The boy, whose name was Pentemlt,
was quickly dressed In the splendid
clothes of a young nobleman, and
eagerly attacked the food which was
set before him, for his mother was a
poor widow, and It was seldom that he
had all he wanted to eat.
Then he went at tho head of a great
procession to the mouth of the well,
while all the Inhabitants of Manl
heaped blessings upon Mm.
Over his shoulder Tantemlt had a
large bag, filled with something so
heavy that It was difficult to carry, but
he refused all assistance.
He descended into the well and
walked down the great cavern until
he came to where tho old woman sat,
under the tree by the river, with tho
great plumed serpent at her side.
"Ah," cried she, when she saw Pan
temit approaching, "here comes your
dinner."
Then, as the boy stopped at a little
distance, she asked: "Well, do the
people want to" buy water?"
"Yes," answered the boy, nnd then he
said to the serpent: "Shut your eyes
nnd open your mouth, and I will give
you a meal you will long remember."
The serpent did as he was bid. Pan
temlt, taking a great round stone from
his bag, threw it down the creature's
throat. The old woman began to scold,
and as soon as the serpent recovered
from his surprise he made a spring for
Pantemlt with his mouth open. But
the boy, jumping aside, threw another
cobble stone down the serpent's mouth,
and so they bad it all around the tree,
the serpent trying to get at Pantemit
and Pentemlt, every time the creature
opened his mouth, throwing a cobble
stone into it.
"Stop! stop!" cried the old woman.
"You will spoil my serpent's digestion I
forever. Go away and leave us alone.
Take all the water you want"
"Is It a bargain?" asked the boy, and
the serpent, who had enough of it by
this time, cried out that it was, and
that if the people of Manl would keep
out of the cavern they might-draw all
the water they wanted from the well.
But if they ever Intruded on the place
where the big tree grew on the banks
of tho river they would have to give
up a child.
Tho Governor was so glad that he
made Pantemit a noble and gave him a
large estate, rantemlt's pnlace is the
largest mound of tho many that mark
the site of tho ancient city of Manl.
But under the tree, by the river, with
the plumed serpent by her side, still
sits the old woman waiting for some
dweller In Manl to come there for
water. II. Irving King, In New Y'ork'
News.
A THIRTS-MINUTE SAILBOAT.
Tlie boat that is here shown was de
signed especially for the boy who had
neither patience, tools nor skill. He
wanted n boat, and one that would
go fast. A board with n sail stuck
upon it was not to his liking, Mid so
this entirely original affair was pro
duced. Nothing in the boat was of
value, except as kindling wood, but the
making nnd sailing of similar boats
afforded many nn hour's entertain
ment. Each day when the wind was
blowing off shore one or more ot these
boats would bo set adrift in Long
Island Sound. Off they would go like
catamarans, sometimes nt nn angle
with the wind, but always out of sight,
never to return. Once in a while one
would bo adjusted just right, and then
It was hnrd to keep up with it by row
ing, it would go so fast. Tho seas
would go over them, but as they had
no deck on they would go. It was
found nfter a while that so short a boat
would not steer very well. A long boat,
on the other hand, would keep pointing
about right, so that they were made
from two to eight feet long. The best
way to build tho boat was to find a
bonrd about four feet long and six or
eight Inches wide. This was sawed

diagonally across the centre, aiid the
nnglo made on each piece was made the
bow. These twopleces were held side by
side eight inches apart, and two narrow
strips were nailed across the bow and
stern; an extra piece having a hole in
It was nailed on the bow strip, and a
stick about a foot long was stuck in
It for a mast. The best kind of masts
were made of dowels sticks1 one-quarter
Inch thick to be found at lumber
yards and hardware stores.
On the mast was fastened a cross
arm Just as wide as the boat. . A pleco
of sheeting made nn excellent sail, ami
after It was fastened on the arm with
a thread and needle, the two lower
corners were securely fastened to the
sides of the boat. The sail was put
ns far forward as possible la the boat,
for It helped steer and no rudder be
came necessary. Without any doubt,
the boy. who lives near the water can
find some odd pieces of lumber, soio
nails and a piece of cloth will find in
this boat making enough to amuse him

SHARK HUNTING IN SAMOA.
Sharks, the very name ot which
strikes terror to our Northern hearts,
are most fearlessly attacked and killed
by Samoan fishermen.
First, the native throws a quantity of
refuse into the sea. The shark sights
the least, and the crafty fisherman
watches it gorge until completely satis
fied. He then dives boldly into the
water, fastens a noose around the
shark's tali, rises to the surface and
regains his place in' the canoe, or on
the coast, ns the case may be.
Several men then take hold of the
rope and the big man-eater is hauled
out of the water. Of course, once in
a while, an accident occurs; but, as a
rule, the shark fisher pursues the "even
tenor of his way" as peacefully as our
men who go "downtown, to the office"
every day. Philadelphia Record.

THE BEST COW.
To realize the greatest profit, the

tinctly for milk. To combine milk and

for either, or both. Tho dual-purpose
cow is very well in theory, but she
never pans out.
EVOLUTION OF THE FARM GATE.
To the Gazette You hare furnished
some very good descriptions of gates of
late. Will you not let your readers see
this one? Sixty years ago about the
only farm gate to be seen in Northern
Illinois was that shown in Fig. 1; al
most every farm located where there
was timber between Chicago and Ga
lena could boast of one or more of
them, and this is about how they were
made: A red elm tree about a foot
in diameter and twenty-four feet long
FIO, 2.
was used for the top; ash saplings split
in two were-used for the gate proper;
three two-inch holes were bored, one
for the swivel where it hangs on the
post, the others for the gate. On the
butt of the pole was a box to hold sjtone
or weights; wooden pins were used to
hold the whole together; when finished
it would swing either way nnd it was
easy to handle when properly bal
anced. Fig. 2 shows the gate that has come
to' stay until something better is found
to fake its place, and I am surprised
that Mr. Wing has not seen one and
written it up long ago. It is made of
common fence boards generally sixteen
feet long fastened together with wire
nails clinched, then hung on a cleat
between two posts set close together.
One of the posts should reach up about
two Inches above the gate with pivot
for the lover to turn on. No matter
what the heft of the gate is when fin
ished, the lever can be weighted until
a small child can open or shut the gate
with case. Thls,gate swings only one
way. W. F. Knowlcs, In Breeder's Ga
zette. ......
QUARTEr.S FOR TOULTRY.
The severity of the past two winters
has emphasized the Importance of
i.-arm, comfortable quarters for poul
try.
Reading tho market reports in any of
tho farm papers, one will at once no
tice that a diminished egg product is
usually attributed to a cold wave.
Eggs have found a ready sale during
tuo past winter, and nt good prices,
A friend of mine having forty-eight
pullets reports a lay of thirty-two or
thirty-three eggs per day right through
the cold weather of January. The eggs
sold from tlilrty-threo to thirty-five
cents per dozen. It does not require
an Isaac Newton to figure a fair profit
on this showing. Inquiry brought out
the fact that the pullets were kept In
very warm quarters.
A building set back Into the side hill
on one end, and thoroughly protected
on two sides by other buildings, ex-
plains tho matter. Parties having dry,
well-lighted, underground quarters
that face the south uniformly report
large winter yields of eggs. It costs
considerable to fit up such a building at
first; but tho diminished cost of keep
ing the fowls, and the Increased num.
ber of eggs produced will soon make
up the difference.
A failure to secure an abundance of
eggs In winter is not always a dispen
sation of Providence. Not much. Old
hens havo been known to lay fairly
well in winter on a corn diet, but no
poultryman would think of agreeing
to furnish a certain number of eggs
each week to customers from old hens.
Old hens may lay, but good, strong,
well cared for pullets must lay.
In summer the fowls have the
warmth, the animal food In the shape
of worms and bugs, tho dry road dust
which they .are so fond of wallowing
In, an abundance of wator, plenty of
green grass, gravel and shells. Now
If all these things are furnished good
pullets in winter they must make a1
fairly good showing in cgg3.
As a matter of fact, pullets often
make a pretty good showing where the
warm, comfortable quarters are not
provided, and the other items are.
Dry quarters, with vermin elimlaat
ed, are absolutely essential.
Very many furnish grain for the
fowls, but neglect to furnish meat.
Praying for eggs in winter without
trying -to approximate summer condi
tions is a waste of valuable time.
