Texas has enacted local option bell
punch law. Each county in the State
tlay decide as heretofore whether alco-
holic beverages shall or shall not be
sold within it's borders, and, should the
verdict be in favor of the sale, then the
county authorities may decide upon the
number of places to- be licensed and
provided with bell-punches. The Gal
weston News estimates that 200 counties
will adopt the bell-panch system, and
that the number of punches required
will be about 1000. 1t is singular
fact that. notwithstanding the preva-
leuce of violence in Texas, the sale of
liquor is strictly prohibited in many
counties of that State.

New Styles In JeWelry.

The present display of jewelry COM
prises so many novelties that it is diff
cult to determine where to begin their
description. The . slide pin" or ala, e
PIN is very popular, owing to its con-
venience of adjustment. These are
worn by fashiOna0les not only to fasten
lace bows and ties, but to attach the
collar and tichu.
One of the most novel of these is q
bar on which lies a round, open fan.
Through this-gold on gold with silver
tracing-a mouse has nibbled a hole,
is reaching through, and, to ali appear
ances, interviewing another mouse as
to the difficulties of his ambitious at
tempt. Another pin has two mice run
ming over q golden girdle, WI ich. by
the adjustment of glowing topazes of
extreme smallness, and garnets equally
small, looks as though heated, which
would argue certain recklessness. to
say the least, on the part of the mice in
question. Still another pin has upon
it hOrrid little deaths head. in white
enamel, in which very diminutive
points glow behind the hollow sockets
of the eyes, and, upon examination,
prove to be two lighted cigars of ruby.
This is of French design. A fourth pin
has a golden skeleton adjusted by inVis-
ible wires, which jerks at every motion
of the wearer.
There IS a certain fascination about
these weird pins that gives one an I'M
accountable desire to possess them.
Pin fifth has two skeletons dressed in
the masquerade dress of - Pantalon''
Of the ballet, and with their caps set
jauntily crooked over their sightless
eyes.
A beautiful design is bird balancing
itself upon silVer-barred fence and
holding in its beak a spray of coral
berries. Another equally pretty has
two unfurled fans at the end, and in the
center a "earbuncle stone" An odd
pin has two heads of negro children in
black enamel, with diamond eyes and
grinning mouths with teeth of ivory.
One Of the most curious and costly,
and most difficult 10 keep from injury,
owing to its mechanism, is slide upon
which are set two jeweled eyes, imita-
ting human eyes, shaded with lashes
and eyebrows of enamel, and which
move from side to side By a tiny spring
that the motion of the wearer stirs.
The effect is odd, and is that of rolling
rather than simply turning the eye
from side to side, yet the exquisite
beauty of the crystals, colored to repre-
sent the ball, iris and pupil, is a tri-
umph of the jewelers. art
A very handsome pin has a Turks
head, with a superb Oriental turban.
The care Of selection of the tiny, many
hued jewels that make up the stripes
and aigrette of the turban must have
been tOilsome, but the effect is singular
ly good. A brilliant affair is a party

Handing Sheep.

Not even the COW, should receive
gentler handling than the sheep. Kind
ness is always well repaid by any of
our domestic animals, but the sheen
being so shy an animal, it REQUIRES
special exhibition of kindness. Itsbould
be so handled and treated as it will
never become frightened at the aA-
prOaeh of a person. Their treatment
should be such as that they will actual
~ learn to entertain an affection for
their keeper, and if they do, they will
naturally be tame and docile. A flock
of wild sheep is about the most un-
profitable investment that afarmer can
make. They are continually getting
themselves into some trouble, and tsaus-
ing great annoyance, if not loss, to
their owner.
We have seen some fockmen jUmp
into flock and pull and haul the sh eep
by the wool until the animals were not
only half frightened to death, but suf-
fered great injury otherwise. A 81 leep
should never be caught or lifted by the
wool. Some one has said that if ? ny
one doubts the impropriety of lfftin 3 a
sheep by the wool, Just let him per nit
himself TO be lifted by the hair, and it
is a good suggestion. When sheep are
thus caught or lifted, the skin in so me
instances is actually torn from the
flesh, and if the injury is not to that
extent it cannot but affect the flesh to
some degree.
A sheep should be lifted by placing
the arms around the body and near the
forelegs. This is the easiest way to do.
especially with large sheep. To catch
the animal, the hands should be thrown
about the neck, or else the sheep should
be caught by the hind leg Immediately
above the hook. This latter may DO
done with the hand or the crook, and
when this way is adopted the utmost
gentleness should be observed, and the
sheep gently drawn back until the other
hand can reach the neck. 1t is scarce
ly necessary to remind the keeper that
when the crook is used upon a sheep
which is closely surrounded by other
sheep, that great care must be exer-
cised lest the other sheep Jump against
the one caught or against the crook, in
which case severe damage may be done

answer.
Many methods have earned supporters
| with common sense views and practical
| tests to support their theories. If large
yield of milk is required when pastures are
short in the fall, or in other words, between
| grass aud hay, wheat bran, corn and oats
L in equal proportions are an excellent food.
An abundance Of good pasture in sum
mer, with feed Of bran morning and
evening will convince any one that the
mosey invested in bran is not thrown
away.
Corn fodder is an excellent food both
for the production Of Iaifk' and butter and
the milk from COWS fed on it is 81 superior
quality both for butter and cheese, so th6
ladies tell us, and when doctors disagreed it
is perfectly safe to leave questions Of dis

eumstances. In the hst dry weather
which is almost sure to make its appear

both in the Yel& Of milk and comfort Of

be cut in the morning Tor the evening
feed, and IN the evening Tor tne morning
meal.
But after careful experiments and OBJ
servation, am satisfied that 1t is equally
good when fed Immediately after il is cut
Il an equal quantity is given. When it is
wilted we are apt to give large feed as
the bulk is reduced, and we unWittingly
say an armful is only an armful, aud We
throw into the feed box about one-third
