It consisted solely of a large white pheasant, with extended wings, pinned to th wearer's hair in front of the knot of curls at the top f the head. No hint of substructure was given. The long tall feathers ourred gracefully down over the back of the hair, reaching almost to the boulders. The bird had a black head, and from the sable feathers two yei low eyes stored out. Women In the audience approved the Ingenuity of the wearer, or her milliner, but one whose sense of the artistic soe,med batter developed shuddered. "Isn't It too hideous.!" she said. "Just like having a bird nesting in your said!" New York Press. Old Style for New.

She lighted from a street car, and the man stepping down behind her, came In contact with the pin. The young woman took him in a carriage to a hospital and waited there until the surgeons performed an operation on tte damaged eye. At first H. was thought the optlo would be saved, but the injury was so serious that all treatment failed. For mors than a south Miss Schmidt visited the pa tient every day. When the dootors said the eye was destroyed, she said there was nothin for her but to marry Mis man to whom she had brought such a loss, he victim took her at her word, the engagement was an nounce, and the other day they were nwrried. New ork Press. Don't Interrupt. One of the social tricks that a young sir must guard against Is the bad habit of interrupting some one else's conversation. This does not mean joining a group or a couple who are talking and en tering into their conversation or call ing one of the persons away from it It means never letting the other person finish a sentence. It is a cus tom more observed in the breach, than the performance, and it Is mark edly impolite. No matter how long a sentence may be, or how eager you are to do some thing else, or have your own way, keep quiet and let the other talker finish that sentence. It will teach you self-control, and this is, In Itself, a great gain. It will teach you courtesy, and this Is imperative If you desire people to like you. New Haven Register. Useful Toilet Article. Few people realize exactly how use ful bags may be until they have owned some and have proved their manifold possibilities. One really particular woman owns bags of all sorts, and when she wishes to find anything In a hurry, or when she packs her trunks, she says they are the comfort of her life. "1 have big flat bags for my blous es," she explains, "three of them; one for my dressy waists, one for colored blouses and one for my tailored shirts. These are made of white linen and embroidered with the name of the contents; the receptacle for the colored waists fs marked with col ored threads. I also have three bags for my stockings; one for silk hosiery, one for colored lisle thread and th third' for plain black stockings. The first of these is made of some wash silk; the other two are ot pretty ging hams, but they are not alike for If they were I could not tell at a glance which one I needed. "In a bag of dainty pompadour rib- mn I keep my ribbons for belts and ties; In another bag of pink silk lined with a wadding and sachet I keep my handkerchiefs, and In a blue bag of the same kind I keep my gloves. Be sides these, I have, of course, rub berized silk bags for all toilet arti cles; but these I do not use dally, They are put away to be ready In case I go on a trip. When it Is time to pack the trunk, all I need do Is to lay each bag carefully In the tray, and then, when I reach my destination, everything may be found without trouble or delay." Such bags as these are never fur nished at the top with drawstrings: they merely fasten with the patent glove fasteners, so they may be spread out flat. Some women, instead of making different bags, make them all of the same material perhaps a pretty cre tonne or dainty chintz and then mark them by embroidering the name of the article upon a shlefld-shaped bit of white linen, and sowing this to the center of the bag. New Haven Register. Proper Attitude of the Hostess. The hostess, who is herself at ease, at once puts her guests at their ease. One of the most trying things a guest often has to bear are the profuse apologies that a hostess offers for cer tain discrepancies. It Is so much easier for both guest and hostess if a mistake or failure on the part of the hostess Is passed over lightly with a simple explanation and not agonized over to the point where it becomes painful. "A lesson in this sort of thing came to me the other day," said a bright woman. "I had been Invited to bring a friend for a week-end visit to the house of a comparatively recent ac quaintance. I knew her for the soul of hospitality and the possessor of much saving common sense, but I had never met her in emergencies of any sort. "Some taste of how she would meet them I saw on my arrival. A caller on business met her at the door of the house Just as we arrived. Sh handed our bags to the maid. "Go right upstairs,' she said to me, It's the same room you had before you know the way. Just make your selves comfortable and I'll be with you In a moment And don't be frightened if you find the bed un made. The sheets haven't come home from the laundry, but they'll be here before bedtime.' "Sure enough, when we reached our room the bed was bare except for the mattress cover, the pillows and the neatly folded blanket and spread In apple pte order. "What sensible woman!" ex claimed my friend. 'Some women would have overwhelmed themselves and us with apologies and made us all uncomfortable, that Is, if they hadn't broken their necks before we came trying to get the , sheets and have the bed in order for us.' "It was only a trifle, but it served as an Indication of the spirit of our hostess. Would there were more like her understanding the little Import anoe of such trifles and sparing them selves and their friends unecessary friction and worry! I am happy to add that the sheets came In ample time but if they hadn't I am prepared to believe that some easy expedient would have made its appearance. Indianapolis News. Fashion Note.

Care of a Colt When the colt Is taken , away from the mare he should have a box stall that Is well lighted and ventilated. The box stall will afford him more exercise than a single stall.

Brnn and oats make an ideal grain ration and timothy and clover bay mixed make a good roughage. Farm ers' Home Journal. Proper Horse Shoeing. Rider and Driver publishes the following rules for properly attending to horses' feet; (1) Thfl reduction of the wall to Its proper proportions, such as would have occurred through friction had no shoe been worn. (2) Fitting the shoo accurately to the outlines of the foot, not altering the latter to fit tho shoe. Rasping away the crust, to fit the shoe not only renders the horn brittle but Is so much loss of bearing surface. (3) Leaving the wall Intuot, so far as Its varnlsh-like layer Is concerned. The practice of rasping the wall for ap pearance sake destroys the horn tubes and allows of so much evaporation from the surface of the foot that the wall becomes brittle. (4) The solo not to be touched with the knife; It oan not bo too thick, it Is there for tihe purpose of protection. (5) The bars not to be cut away; they are part of the wall and Intended to carry weight. (6) The frog to be uncut and left to attain Its full growth." Keep the Colts Growing. Raising colts and growing young horses that shall be valuable and sell well In the markets, requires thought hnd careful attention In feeding and handling them. It has been well &'ild khat colts can only be kept growing by Iteeding generous rations. Now la the time for breeders to arrange for gen erous care of the 1909 foals if they ex pect the youngsters to develop Into extra good Individuals that will com mand top prices when offered as ma ture horses. Proper shelter should be provided for the weanlings to protect them from storms and Inclement weather. The foal should be fed a ra tion of oats and bran and the ration Increased to four quarts a day as the weather gets colder. If well cured clover hay can be obtained, or alfalfa, It will make excellent roughage for young horses which need a ration con taining plenty of nitrogen and phos phorus to' develop strong bone and muscular tissue. Unless there Is suoh development as comes from the feed ing nltrogenouB foods as well as the carbonaceous, horses when they come to be marketed will show the fault of feeding,' and command small prices. Indiana Farmer. Farm Lights. Some time ago while visiting rela tives we noticed they were using gas oline lights which were so far super ior to any lamp for country hhtlng we had ever seen that we took pains to investigate them. We found them entirely different from the expensive way of installing a gasoline system, which Is usually prac ticed. Although unlike the kerosene hanging lamp they may be hung on the same hook. The gasoline bowl be ing immediately under the hook and burner, some three feet below the light Is comparatively like the gas light, being a mellow white light, and it can be compared with the common kerosene lights 6nly by a real test, then there will lie left no doubt as to the superior light. Another advantage Is It seems to burn no more oil than the kerosene lamp, and makes more light than three of the latter. One can easily read a paper In any part of a large room where one Is used. These lights can easily be taken down and hung in another room, but I deem It more ad visable, after trying one to get what your needs require. The cost may seem high, but it Is not so when you sura up Its worth and how much more attractive and bright the home appears. 0. R. A. in the Indiana Farmer. Poultry For Profit The few that keep hens for their company will have no Interest in this. or any other article, that tries to make the pVith plainer, that leads through the devious pitfalls of poultry raising. Sometimes it is easier to tell what Is not the way than what is the right method, asauredly a flock of poultry that has to get up early, keep on the hunt all the time, and keep off the roost to the last second of light In the hope of securing a belated bug, or a stray crumb or grain, will not be profltablo neither would any kind of stock that had to hustle In this way, yield a profit. Such hens, or bona so jtxeated, haven't time to lay, even if they hod the Inclination, and the most eggs ever gathered, In a given time, may be gathered from such a Hook If healthy, where they are taken in hand, fed and cared fur in an intalll gent manner. Don't be scared of procuring such a flock. They will not cost much In money, because they will not weigh heavy. There will be some weeks ot feeding without returns for the poor, starved things have to build up a while but after a reasonable time they will yield eggs, though, in fair numbers. If you are owners of a nice flock of poultry, it would be silly to dispose of them, and procure the "scratch or die" chickens, unless you desire to for the sake ot experiment or for humane motives, but It could prove useful to the beginner. Remember the only poultry that will yield a fair profit is the flook that is well fed and cared for. The young chicks should be fed all they will clean up nicely, several times a day; fed so that they will be ready for the table or market at less than three months of age; of course the nice pullets will not be for eating, but they should be as well fed to pro mote early maturity. The hens, un less the sitters, should be fed enough at all times, so they would dress and cook nicely. In no other way have we ever been able to secure a profit. This does not mean they should bs too sluggish to forage, or to exercise, a healthy chick will alwayB exercise and forage, If given the chance, but they should have enough to eat without tearing up the earth in their efforts to secure a living. The Humunt In five will have to be determined by the feeder, and It will vary considerably at different times; I um your eyes and when they seem to dOHlre to wander oft from the feed ing place, don't feed any more at that time. I suppose their appetite varies something the same as any animal, then some days they mak make a find of a particularly nutritious family of bugs. The main Idea Is to keep the fowls as comfortable as possible; a well oared for and well fed chick Is ns happy as a bird, and as lively as a cricket, then when all has been done to promote this happiness, and yet the results are not satisfying, there needs to be a change, either In the fowls, or else to different methods. Among a large flock, there will be gome grouchy ones that nothing will please, the thing to do Is to dispose of all such, lest they inoculate the whole of the "happy family." B. C. In the Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. Shoot very strange dog that comes on the place. Any flock of over fifty sheep ought to have a Collie to look after them. Never mate a big ram with a small ewe. Best to breed animals of the same type. Oilmeal will often prevent Indiges tion and keep the young sheep on edge. If your ewes nre poor at breed lag time they will be greatly handi capped. Keep the ram by himself In day time and turn him with a few ewes at night. The big sheep ranges of the west are being broken up and our dally tnut. ton will have to come from the small form flocks. Dont guess at the breeding time. Red paint on the ram's belly will mark the ewes so yon can tell when they will drop their lambs. Full blood yearlings should bring $100 and upward. The first cost should not be considered when buying stock; the high grade stock pays best In the long run. Three factors are vitally Important In the economic production ot dairy products, namely, good cows, good feed and a good feeder. It Is impru dent to attempt profitable dairying unless these three things can be brought into harmony. Wounded Hawk's Hard Fight An osprey, better known as a fish hawk, the first ever seen In this sec tion, was captured alive today by Ar thur Baylor after a fight which lasted over an hour.

He succeeded In shooting It through the right wing and then started for ward for the capture. The plucky bird, with broken wing dragging behind, advanced to meet him.

Famous How " The Ninety and Nine" Originated With San key By F. 0 HB religious faiths of the world) have produced many re markable and beautiful lyrlos, such as Newman's "Lead, Kindly Light,' the "Nearer, My God, to Thee," of Sarah Flower Adams, and Oowper's "God Moves in a Mysterious Way." Many of these were written under peculiarly dra matic circumstances, as was particularly the case with those by C'owper and John Henry Newman alluded to above. But wide aa has been their use and their application among Christians of alt creeds and sects, there Is one hymn that overshadows all others, whether we consider its widespread popularity or 1U wonderful evangelistic power. This hymn Is "The Ninety and Nine," by the late Ira D. Banker, long the musical associate of Dwlght L. Moody. These two man together were the greatest soul winners ever known, and the suc cess of their united work was undoubtedly largely traceable to Mr. SankeyM songs In general, and to "The Ninety and Nine" In particular. Its unique origin has often been described, but wlfl bear repetition. "Whsn leaving Glasgow for Edinburgh with Mr. Moody, Mr. Banker bought a penny religious paper. Oianclng over It as they rode on the cars, his eye fell upon a few verses in the corner of the page. One day they bad an unusually Impressive meeting in Edinburgh, In which Dr. Bonar had spok en on "The Good Shepherd." At the close of the address Mr. Moody beckon ed to hli partner to sing something appropriate. "At first he could think of nothing but the Twenty-third Psalm, but that be had sung so often; his second thought was to sing the verses he had found In the paper, but how could It be done when be had no tune for them? Then a thought came to sing the verses he had found In the paper, anyway. H put the verses before him, touched the keys of the organ, and sang, not know ing where he was going to come out. He finished the first verse amid pro. 'found silenoe. He took a long breath and wondered If he could sing the seo ond the same way. He tried It and succeeded. After that It was easy to sing It When he finished the hymn the meeting was all broken down throngs were crying and ministers were sobbing all around him," Hundreds were converted then and there, while In subsequent years other thousands of souls were gathered in through the singing of "The Ninety and Nine." dearly the song was the result of a sudden Inspiration so far aa Its musi cal setting was concerned, and It may be doubted If there was ever a sim ilar case of spontaneous and subsequently successful composition. "The Ninety and Nine" literally sang its way around the world. The simple paraphrase of the scripture parable appeals to "all sorts and conditions of men," and the world's hymnology Is the richer for that Sunday afternoon inspiration In the Scottish capital which came to Ira D. Bankey. Milwaukee Sentinel a a a 1 M Feet Some of the Things a Nature Student Has Noted Ey E. H. EFERRING to birds and beasts with standart feet, I find that the first outside purpose for which they find them ser viceable is to scratch themselves. Tbls Is a universal need. But a foot Is1 handy In many other ways. A hen and chiok ens, getting Into my garden, transferred a whole flower-bed to the walk In half an hour. Yet a bird trying to do any thing with Its foot Is like a man putting on his socks stand ing, and birds as a race have turned 'their feet to very little I R ls: account outside of their original purpose. Such a simple thing as holding down Its food with one foot scarcely occuts to an ordinary bird. A hen will pull about a cabbage leaf and shake it in the hope that a small piece may come away, but It never enters her head to put her foot on it In this and other matters the parrot stands apart and also the hawk, eagle and owl; but these are not ordinary birds. Beasts, having twice as many feet as birds, have learned to apply them to many uses. They dig with them, hold down their food with them, fondle their children with them, paw their friends, and scratch their enemies. One does more of one thing and another of another, and the feet soon show the ef fect of the occupation, the claws first, then the muscles, and even the bones dwindling by disuse, or waxing stout and strong. Then the Joy of doing what It can do well Impels the beast further on the same path, and Its off spring after It Of all the feet that I have looked at, I know only one more utterly ridicu lous than the twisted flipper on which the 6ea lion props his great bulk ia front and that ls the forked fly-flap wrlch extends from the hinder parts of the same. How can it be worth any beast's while to carry such an absurd apparatus with It just for the sake of getting out Into the air sometimes and pushing oneself about on the Ice and being eaten by Polar bears? The por poise has discarded one pair, turned the other into decent fins, and recovered a grace and power of motion In water which ls not equalled by the greyhound on land. Why have the seals hung back? It ls so difficult to pry Into the domestic ways of these sea peopie but evidently the seals cannot manage it, so they are forced to return to the land when the cares of matternlty are on them.

I do not consider that by working for my husband in our home I am in the least forfeiting my financial independ ence. I settled that before we were married.

Certainly, no woman ought to marry just for the sake of obtaining a house for which she doesn't have to pay rent and a dinner which she needn't buy.

Listen in that case, fewer women can have their own children. Then, perhaps, they will be willing to pay some attention to the poor little children who haven't their own mothers and fathers.
