Study Thla Useful Art. Not only does an American woman spend bb much tlmo and care over the etceteras of her costume as a French woman, but she learns how to dress as she might learn how to typewrite, ' She takes lessons lu halr-dresslng and hat-trlnimlng, to say nothing of dressmaking; she studies color and form. Even when she Is rich enough to. have a good maid she learns these things, for she ltuows that to direct a business one must be acquainted with its details. It Is stupid for the person of ordin ary means to expect great results from dressmakers If Bhe herself take no interest In dress. Philadelphia Rerord. Alexandra's Favorite Room. Queen Alexandra's favorite room is her boudoir at Sandringham. There she follows her own tnstes without court dictation, and she affectionately talks of her boudoir as "home." The walls are In apple green and white, and the furniture Is of -the Marie An toinette style. There Is bric-a-brac col lected by the Queen herself from all corners of- Europe. Everything In the room Is of her personal selection. She passes most of her leisure time there, usually alone or with her friend and confidante, Chaii lotto Knollys. Tea Is always served at 6 o'clock In the boudoir, the Queen herself pouring out the tea for her women guests. Tit-Bits.

The result has been surprising, as these fifty 'graduates have made their knowl edge general. The chief work of the Blltmore weavers Is the manufacture of blue and white counterpanes of an old-fashioned pattern, and bo great has been the demand that It seems as if all other lines of weaving will be dropped for the counterpanes.

A Farewell Letter, A short time ago, in an interior vil lage, in Klang Su, a women, ambitious to become educated, killed herself af ter bad treatment from her husband's relatives, iter farewell letter was everywhere cbpled by the Chinese oress. It has become a national doc ument, and almost a charter of the new government. In It occur the fol lowing sentences: "I am about to die today because my husband's parents, having found great fault with me for having unbound my feet and doclarlng that I have been diffusing such an evil influence as to have injured the reputations of my ancestors, have de termined to put me to, death. Mala talnlng that they will be severely cen sured by their relatives once 1 enter a school and receive Instruction, they have been trying hard to deprive me of life. In order, as they Bay, to stop beforehand all the troubles that I may cause. At first they intended to starve me, but now tbey compel me to com mit suicide by taking poison. I do not fear death at all, but how can I part from my children, who are so young? Indeed, there should be no sympathy for me; but tne mere thought of the destruction of my ideals and ol my young children; who will without doubt be compelled to live In the old way,' makes my heart almost break, lat blood of such martyrs Is beginning to make Its Impression upon the Chinese people and Is turning them to favor more liberal popular customes. At lantic Monthly. Nature Overrated. An English woman declares that she considers nature very much over rated In the matter of taste. For Instance," says the lady, "It is perfectly evident that nature consid ers the ideal color for human hair to be that of a potato." Suggest to her the charm of auburn, gold or midnight locks and she says In effect. 'Pooh! Give me a good durable shade like potato brown!'- So she proceeds to give to us. "Sralght hair, too! Wavy hair is more becoming in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, yet I suppose not one wouiun in a thousand has real, naturally wavy hair. Nature like a shiny nose! Not Venus herself could look well with a shiny nose, yet life s pathway would be illuminated by countless millions of them it we left the matter to nature. "When It comes to our attitude or carriage, how many of us would not stoop if we were simply natural? Our arboreal ancestors probably stooped frightfully. Our feet theories to -the contrary notwithstanding I assert that running about without shoeB spoils the beauty c one's feet, 'Though nobody thinks less of a small walsj; than I do, I assert that It I had a waist more than twenty-five Inches I should look dowdy unless It was round. The lucky possessor of an absolutely round waist may have one of twenty-five Inches and still ap pear to measure only etghten. "Nothing can be more lovely than an absolutely lovely, natural woman a woman with perfect skin and hair, features and figure, a woman for whom nature has done everything at her very best; but how often do you find her? Once in a million times, perhaps. "As tor most of us, we want our hair, even if abundant, to be coaxed into brilliance and form; we want our possibly natural teeth carefully pre served and kept clean; the same with our skin; we want to be taught to walk and dance and bold ourselves properly, to wear the right stajfs, the right boots, the right clothes; we want our color instinct and Our general taste trained; we want to be taught in youth not to talk through our noses or out of our boots, nor to laugh too loud or in an unfortunately acquired manner; we want to be taught to take care of our nails the nail left to na ture does nature but scant Justice. In short,, we require civilization where our appearances are concerned if we are to be fit to look at." Queen. Fashion Notes, The flower rosette is popular. Lace heads the list for the mantelet Jet and amber are Increasing in favor. The long drop is the favorite type of earring. Freqbently panels are finished with knotted fringe. Gowns are elaborate, but never for a moment fussy. Broche fabrics will be much worn in the near future. Poppies of unusual size are seen on some of the hats. In yokes the sun-ray pleatings are the thing Just now. Jet bracelets seemingly cannot be toe wide nor too heavy. For run-around frocks nothing Is more popular than serge. The wrinkled riding boot is more used than the plain one. Very many gowns .have touches of hand embroidery oft them. Turquoise sometimes looks remark ably well with silver hair. Side combs with silver tops are most effective with gray hair. One of the newest things in smart footwear is the empire pump. v This season brings a large and fas cinating variety ot Japanesssilks. For the parasol nothing could be more novel than the English chintz A special feature of the more ex clusive millinery Just now is the oigret. Earrings, brooch and necklace matching in color make a pleasant en semble. New York City.

Wide luchlng is used for front ot blouses. fife JPoultrv for ProfitJ A CHEAP TU11KEY SHED. It Costs Only $3.83, 11 ut Mrs. rorlts Would Not Take $100 For It. I built my turkey shed and the pen for them myself. My shed Is 4 feet high at back and 0 feet at front, 12 feet long and 6 feet wide. I only used bIx studdlngs, one at each corner and one In middle, which took three pieces of 2x4, one foot long, and one piece 2x4, eighteen feet long, made the three rafters. Four pieces 12x12 made the back and it took seven pieces 12x12 to cover and six pieces 12x12 to cover the ends. I put the number on back and top straight so It could be easily taken off and used. I lapped the roof Just enough to keep It from leaking, left no cracks for the wind to come through In back and ends. The high and south side I left open, except one piece at top to which I fastened a drop door of net wire. I began at each end of the house and ran five foot wire fence with a twelve-Inch base plank and made a little yard about twenty-four feet square. I made a gate and a little slide door for the little chioks to go In and out at. I bought my lumber delivered at $1.25 a hundred and the whole thing cost me $3.85. I would not do with out tt for a hundred dollars. I raise as many chickens in winter as I do In Bummer. I make small coops, air tight on three sides to keep out the cold and slatted on one Bide to let in the sun. I place these under the shed and when a hen hatches I put her In one of the coops and keep her there for several days. It it is bright and warm I let her out in the pen. When they are old enough I let out of pen each day, but put them In coops at night; when It is cold and rainy I keep the hen in coop all the time and the little chicks have the whole shed and pen to run under. Later In the season I use the pen for setting my turkeys In. I fix nest, put turkey on, put plenty of water and feed, and there Is always a dust bath ready for her under the dry shed, so I am never afraid of her going back to her old nest or a stray dog getting to her. After she hatches I Just let her come oft in the pen when she gets ready. When the little ones are stout enough I let the hen out every pretty day after the dew dries off, but make them roost under shed every night until they are large enough to fly up to the roost. Mrs, J. H. Portls, in Southern Cultivator. Counts Fptfs as Laid. The dishonest hen with cannibalis tic tendencies can no longer defraud her employer with impunity and it she likes eggs for her meals she is In danger of decapitation. Two Wis consin men have put their heads to gether and bave perfected a register ing device which keeps a record of every egg laid and enables chicken owners to detect any loss through theft or any other agency. This de. vice Is In the form of a band that fits Faatens on Bird's Body. over the hen's body. The expansion of the body caused by the emission of the egg causes the band to spread and register a number. If the indl cator shows that a hen Is laying more eggs than are collected and if the i,wner finds no evidence of theft, he tan then be sure that the bird Is eat ing the eggs herself and either put her in the stewpan and replace asi with a more honest fowi or keep such a close watch over her that she' will not have an opportunity to indulge her cannibalistic taste. It Is impos sible to cure a hen of this habit once it la contracted. Washington Star, Nest Boxes. There should be several nest boxes provided for each pen, to avoid hens crowding Into one nest and breaking eggs. Boxes should be eighteen Inches square and ten to twelve inches deep, supplied with clean nest ma terial, and a few moth balls kept in them. Across middle of pens boards should be placed to the height of fif teen Inches, and to the front, litter placed to scatter small grain to in duce plenty' of exercise. Shucks and a little fodder make the best litter, as fowls eat the fodder if not pro vided plenty of green food, and the shucks do not crumble bo much like straw or hay, and can be thrown to one side when the pen is cleaned, and then used again. Progressive Far mer, What Hens Ear. Experiments have proved that a hen In good condition will eat, on nn average, three ounces of mash In the morning, two ounces of grain at noon and four ounces of grain at night. Let shipped eggs rest twenty-four uours be.'ore placing to hatch. In ordering eggs to hatch, place orders early In season and have hens ready to receive eggs before you notify bvefderi to chip them MOT TRADE REPORTS ARE GOOD Further Progress Toward Confidence nd Activity. "Further nrogress is making toward business confidence and activity, and even the vexatious delay In the treat ment ot the tariff and the somewhat disappointing June crop statement have not served to check the Improve ment Statistics of pig Iron production during May furnish additional evi dence of the betterment ot Iron and steel. A significant development is the urgency with which many, buyers re quest prompt deliveries, especially transporting companies. Grenter Interest and larger volume of actual transactions are observable In the primary cotton goods market than for a long time past Jobbers are the principal operators, although the market as a whole still continues to be somewhat uneven. There is an advance on the majority of heavy goods, which will probably curtail for eign demand for some time. In the print cloth division narrow cloths show Increased firmness as a result of operations, comprising between 200,000 and 300,000 pieces, extending on delivery into September. "This has stiffened all odd counts. while wile convertibles have also ad vanced In price. A very fair distribu tion of prints from first hands has oc curred during the last month, and stocks ore said to be materially de pleted. Bleached goods are moving moderately and have advanced In price, while ginghams are strong and napped goods for fall are In excellent condition. In the woolen goods divi sion Interest at present centers In the opening of staples by the leading pro ducer. "Demand as a whole shows an Im provement In shoe conditions, pen naps for more marked at the present time than for any period since the dullness Bet In. There is an active leather market, lending St. Louis shoe manufacturers having made heavy purchases of sole leather at Boston. MARKETS. PITTSBURC. Wheat No. 9 red Bye ho. 3.
