f CLOTHES AND MORALS.
There is a moral aa well as a physi
cal side to dressing for dinner. The
evening change ot clothes induces a
feeling ot self-respect. This and Blm
ilar customs are enemies to depres
sion, to worry, to a moral down-at-heelness.

' TRY TO BE PRETTY.
If you are employed in an office or
factory, try and make it a point to
open the windows and thoroughly air
lie room two or three times a day.
Stand straight, hold your shoul
ters back, and give yourselt a chance
lo be a healthy woman.
Don't be afraid ot water. Drlnlc
plenty ot it, and take as many baths
as you can. Learn a tew physical
culture exercises, and practice them
night and morning, says Woman's
Life.
This may all sound uninteresting
to you, but It you follow these tew
suggestions you ' will be healthier,
happier and better looking.
GIRL STARTS GIRDLE FASHION.
As a decided change from the
plain belts of evening costume, which
so long were in vogue, society wom
en now are wearing girdles ot gold
and silver lace, The fashion was
started by a girl whose mother for
merly entertained In society. The
mother is a widow now, and the girl
has found material enough for a sea
son ot belts in the old ball gowns ot
her mother. She is making a tidy
living by changing them to -the pre
vailing mode. Untarnishable gold
and silver lace cannot be bought in
these days ot cheap imitation, and
those women who need money for
spring finery are lucky if they can
overhaul expensive old clothes in the
attic. New York Press.
'ACCESSORIES OP THE TOILET.
It cannot he doubted that a woman
Is much more fastidious and much
more careful of her appearance If she
has the proper belongings on her
dressing table.
To have to rush around looking for
pins, to let the hair go halt falling
down because no hairpins can be
found, to be unable to see the back
of one's gown because a hand glass
Is missing will result in a careless
get-up.
It is every woman's business to
look well.
It is her duty to be a rest for the
eyes of men in general, men who
are tired looking at ngiy things. '
So while a woman need not make
"Iter'follet the work of her life, she
can easily make It a success.
The quickest and best way to do
this is to furnish the toilet table
properly. New York Press.
j MOURNING COLORS.
The news that a European has
been noticed In Jamaica wearing
white as mourning, for a relative lost
. In the recent catastrophe recalls the
I fact that that color was originally
employed in many countries to Indi
cate reverence for the dead. In tact
the custom obtained in Europe as
late as the reign of Charles VIII. ot
France, and in Italy, too, It lingered,
thougfe for women only, the men
wearing brown. In Ethiopia the
white soon changed to gray, and In
Egypt to yellow. China, however,
employs itto this day. Other colors
have had their vogue blue, for in
stance, which even now is used in
Turkey, Armenia, and Syria. The
latter signifies the heavenly region
white stands for purity; gray and
brown typify our mother, earth, and
black, most repellant of mourning
colors, would seem to suggest an
eternity of night. London Chronicle.
EXfinCISE FOR GHILS.
The new Japan, realizing that gen
erations of sedentary life had made
the women weak physically, has late
. ly been laying stress upon physical
exercise In the schools. The Gov
ernment now requires that school
girls shall wear full, loose skirts
over the kimonos, that they may have
greater freedom ot movement than
would otherwise be possible. School
girls, from the little tots, in their first
grades to young women in the col
leges, may be known by the regula
tion broadly pleated skirt, usually
ot dark red. In connection with the
girls' schools there Is now a thorough
iurse in physical culture, Including
fiSMls and apparatus work, dancing,
Men as the lancers, running and
Jumping games, often basketball and
modification of football. Along
with this physical development is
taught a new and broad education
bringing Intellectual expansion and
development. Chicago Dally News.
EARNS MAN'S APPRECIATION.
' A little attention, which counts
much in making a man appreciate his
borne, is tor his wife to be always at
bis command when he has unusual
duties to perform. If there is a
special piece of business that has to
be attended to early in the morning,
a wife 6hould be up herself, too, and
making sure that his breakfast is
served hot and appetizing. Or when
the order is reversad, and he comes in
late, some dainty left over from din-
v at rt mr or thicj t n ti m i n ti u nnorira
Xlle the attention is much more ap
preciated than the food. Equally is
k true that every one who is busy
jurlng the day wants his meals at
egular hours, and not served CltsiB
or twenty minutes later than they ex
pected. But the wife should not be alone
in paying little attentions ot this sort.
The husband has quite as large a
share to contribute on his side. In
fact, little attentions are even more
Indispensable to a woman than a
man, says Woman's Life. A most
essential thoughtfulness is an occa
sional present brought home unex
pectedly to her, or falling this, a man
should make sure that his wife has
her recreations as he does his.
BISHOPS' SLEEVES FOR WOMEN.
"To make women look attractive,"
was the sarcastic whisper from a
young woman, "and to give them at
the same time an air ot religious
quiet the latest perpetration ot that
creature Madame Mode Is what will
be known as the bishops' sleeve shirt
waist. All the old love for the long
gloves, the bare white arms, the
bracelets which fall so beautifully
over the arms of the glove, will be a
thing of the past. The bulky sleeve
of the bishop has been copied and
has found favor with those whose
arms are not as well rounded as they
might have been. Red bands, in
stead ot the usual colored ribbon,
will be worn, and this, with the fash
ionable stole countenance, ought to
make Fifth avenue look like a re
ligious seminary. But women are
erratic and the craze for a certain
fashion lasts only an hour and a
day, much to the regret of certain
men. Therefore it may be that be
fore the spring is passed long gloves
and short sleeves will have dawned
again." New York Press.
A SIN NOT TO TALK.
The woman who talks too much
may be guilty of "the sin of speech,"
as Ruskin says, but according to the
Rev. Hugh Black, of the Union Theo
logical Seminary, who addressed an
audience ot women at the religious
conference at the University of Chi
cago last night, the woman who does
not talk enough is equally sinful with
her loquacious sister.
Dr. Black admitted that some
women and girls talk too much, but
he maintains that talking too little,
or at inopportune moments, is a fault
that should be corrected by women
as well as by men. .
"The tongue can sin in a far more
subtle way by keeping silent when
speech 13 imperative," resumed Dr.
Black. "Ignoble silence is a far
greater sin than ill-advised loquacity.
We all are guilty ot this sin at some
time or other in our careers. The
mother who withheld words of en
couragement to her children does
them more harm than she could do
by overpraising their youthful ef
forts. Words Judiciously spoken are
golden, but ill-timed silence often is
a calamity.
"How many mothers have died
without hearing their children whis
per to her that they loved her. Wom
en and girls keep words which ought
to be spoken and utter those which
should have remained unspoken. It
one must speak, let It be in the spirit
of charity and love for one another.
Then there will be little sin of
speech." Chicago Examiner.
The newest shirtwaists are very
broad shouldered.
A novelty is the white waist with
collar and cuffs of color.
Puffs are very much in vogue in
arranging the hair for either day or
evening.
Wool taffetas make pleasing house
gowns because they are light and
drape well.
Ot course you will have some ot
your blouses made with link cuffs
this season.
A handsome mourning street suit
is of very fine cloth very severely,
but perfectly tailored.
Remember In making the slips for
frocks that those ot batiste launder
much better than those of silk.
White is extremely fashionable,
but the pastel shades have entirely
taken the place of the gay colors.
The newest belts are neither ex
tremely wide nor. extremely narrow,
but rather strike a happy medium
between the two.
Some handsome toilettes have lit
tle chiffon roses placed as buttons
would be; these are soft and very
decorative in effect.
The woman who is always looking
for effects in dress will wear boudoir
gowns that Jrarmonize with the color
scheme of her room.
A new way of wearing the soft
Windsor tie is to run it through sev
eral long perpendicular buttonholes
made in the stiff linen collar.
Blue serge walking suits are very
smart with their mannish little
square cut jackets, this being a pop

jj Farm Topics?
A WORKSHOP PAYS.
A workshop on the farm will pay
for itself ten times over every year.
The boys like to putter around in It,
and repair many things which other
wise would require a trip to a black
smith shop. Put in a bench, with
vise and necessary tools. A small
blacksmith's outfit may be bought for
a few dollars. Let the boys practice.
It gets them interested.
CURE FOR RUST. -The
following preparation, applied
to the surface, will prevent any rust
ing on plows or any other metal sur
faces: Melt one ounce of resin in a
gill ot linseed oil, and when hot mix
with two quarts of kerosene. This
can be kept on hand and applied in
a moment, with brush or rag, to the
metal surface of any tool that is not
going to be used for a rew days, pre
venting any rust and saving much
vexation when It is to be used again.
REMODEL THE HOUSE.
Spme farm houses are ugly and
uncomfortable, and make no end ol
extra work for the women folks. Ii
is a great mistake to mortgage the
farm tor the sake of a new house, but
when there is money to spare ther
is no excuse for living In an ark. Set
the new home a good distance from
the street, arrange it conveniently
for household work, and let it be sub
stantial and tasteful, but with no "jig
saw" ornaments, which are especial-,
ly out ot place on a farm. Americas
Cultivator.
CRIMSON CLOVER "OPENS SOIL."
Crimson clover starts to grow vers
early, and it may be left on the
ground until" the blossoms are full,
when the crop may be plowed under,
but this should be done before the
seed is produced. It makes an excel
lent foundation for corn, providing
nitrogen and opens the soil, but as
all green crops are liable to "sour"'
the land to a certain extent, It will
be an advantage to dust the clovet
with newly slacked lime (alt
slacked), bo as to correct the acidity,
the lime also being beneficial to the
con. Wood ashes are also excellent
COST OF COW FEEDING.
The cost of feeding a cow weighing
1000 pounds one day varies In differ
ent sections of the country, and ac
cording to the kind of food allowed.
In Wisconsin, food consisting ol
thirty-two pounds of corn ensilage)
ten of clover and five of bran, ot
fifteen of bay, five of corn fodder, five
of bran and fifteen ot gluten meal,
made the cost iu either case amount
to 10SA cents. In Iowa eight pound!
of corn, eight of oats and fifteen ol
clover hay made the cost eight centi
per day. In Minnesota the cost wai
five cents per day for eighteen poundi
of clover hay, ten of beeta, ten o!
bran and four of shorts, or fourteen
pounds of prairie hay, ten of bran
and four of shorts.
STOCK GATE.
I send you a farm stock gate which

STEAM ENGINE USEFUL.
There Is no better investment for
tho dairyman than a Email steam en
gine. An engine of only one horse
power will be quite sufficient to do.
many small Jobs for which hand
power would otherwise be needed.
But Its most important use in wintei
will be for steaming and cooking
food. This adds largely to the nu
tritiousness of the food because il
makes the starchy portion much more
easy of digestion. It is not necessary
to steam or cook food tor fattening
animals, and in this respect the prac
tice has gone out of favor, but it payi
to steam the food for milch cows.
They require a good deal of water
and can take it as well with their
feed as by itself.
LARGE BREEDS OF SHEEP.
The large mutton breeds of sheep
are gradually displacing the merino
breed, and farmers are finding out
that there is something more to be
derived from sheep than wool. If
low prices for wool have caused far
mers to turn their attention to the
large breeas the apparent misfortune
will in the future be looked upon as
a blessing. Tho English farmer would
consider it a waste of time and labor
to keep a flock of sheep for wool only.
The mutton sold in the English mar
ket is of the highest quality, and is
produced on lands that rent for mora
than the same area can be purchased
for in this country, yet the English
farmer regards sheep as very profit
Who Makes The Cigars
You Smoke?
It doesn't mean much to know who sells you the cigars
you smoke. Who makes them ? Where? How?
We are producing cigars on the
theory that it's about time the cigar
smoker had a square deal. We are
endeavoring to tell the smokers
frankly what they are entitled to and
how to get it.
The processes of refining and
blending the leaf to make it fit for
smoking used to be hap-hazard opera
tions, very much like what the house
keepers call "a lick and a promise."
In the American Cigar Company's
Stemmeries these operations are car
ried through to perfection by methods
which have not only never been
attempted by any other manufactur
ers, but which have been entirely un
known to them.
One result is that cigars marked
with the Triangle A never have the
slightest 1 trace of rawness, bitter
ness, or harshness in thein. More
over, although your taste may some
times change, and you may after
wards tie up to different brands,
you are always absolutely sure
that every Triangle A brand is of
uniform quality and character this
year, or. next year, or ten years
from now.
Factory methods we have likewise
revolutionized. When you buy a
cigar marked by the Triangle A, you
can be entirely sure that, the condi
' tions surrounding the making of that
cigar were wholesome and hygienic.
You can count on its being as clean
as the cleanest food you eat.
This is a strictly competitive business.
If our cigars aid not come well up to our claims for them,
how long would we be in business ?
About ten days.
When it comes to buying cigars, there is just one way for
you to get full value, and even value every day to select
from those brands that carry the "A" (Triangle A) on the box.
The New CREMO
5 Cents
is iirst-rate evidence of the quality guaranteed by the Triangle A.
Every box is extra wrapped in glassine paper, dust-proof -insuring
cigars in clean and perfect smoking condition when box is opened.

Many people suffer constantly from
a, sense of over-fatigue which entirely
prevents sleep at night. A hot bath
taken before retiring is a capital anti
dote in some cases, but in others the
bath acts as a stimulant rather than
a narcotic, and prevents rather than
engenders sleep. One of. the best
