An Eastern paper tells curious
story in connection with Miss Annie
Pixley, the actress. Once when she was
playing in Idaho she wanted . real live
baby to appear on the stage She got
one from q Maine-born woman living in
the Idaho town where the play was pro-
duced. The baby cOoed and behaved
splendidly on the stage, and the rough
miners were nightly tickled. A dozen
years passed and the baby grew to be .
lovely miss. Recently the girl and her
parents visited Bangor and saw Miss
Pixley in the same play. The meeting
was mutually pleasant. and old times
and scenes in the West were gone over,
which kept the party in good humor for
several Chicago Tii6Hne.

Miss Alice Fletcher, the student

Miss Alice Fletcher, the student OF
Indian household customs, says that
among the Sioux, when one family Dor
rows . kettle from another it is expected
that when the kettle is returned . small
portion of the food that has been cooked
in it will be left in the bottom. The
language has particular word to des-
ignate this remnant. Should that Gus
tom be disregarded by any one, that
person would never be able to borrow
again, IS the owner must always know
what was cooked in her kettle" A
white woman, ON one occasion. returned
a secured kettle. intending to teach .
lesson in cleanliness; but her act became
the talk Of the camp as fresh example
of the meanness of whites.-N 2.

COST OF sILos.

4 Claim That They Arc Cheaper than Or
binary Hay Barns.
There are two great reasons why silos
are not more generally built: First,
people imagine they cost too much;
second, people are slow to adopt any
thing new. and are afraid of becoming
the laughing stock of their neighbors.
Twill endeavor to show by a compar-
ison of the two the great saving in build
ing silos over that of building barns.
My silos is twenty-four feet long, by
twelve wide ard fifteen deep. the wall
being twelve feet high, and the frame
boarded up three feet on the inside; this
silo will hold seventy tons, enough to
feed twelve COWS six months, exclusive
of other feed, equivalent to thirty-five
tons of hay; allowing five hundred and
twelve cubic feet to the ton of hay, this
would require barn forty-six feet long
by twenty-four wide and sixteen feet
high.
We have the two buildings before US;
let US look at the cost of each:

Balance in favor Of the silo .$ $40
The thirty-five tons of hay in the
barn are worth at least $3.50 per ton.

The seventy tons of ensilage cost me
last year SLIGO per ton in the silo, equal
to SIP, balance of $l15. so in favor of
the silO.
Again. let us look at the amount of
land to fill the barn and silo. One and
one-half tons per acre is fair estimate
of hay: it will require twenty acres to
fill the barn; where land rents at four
dollars per acre, this would smount to
eighty dollars. Fourteen tors per acre
is not . big yield of green corn. in which
case it will take five acres to sill the silo;
that would amount to twenty dollars
for rent, balance of sixty dollars in
favor of the silO.
Last, but not least, should the barn be
set on fire he loses not only his building
(S25030) but all his feed; in the silO
nothing would burn but the frame (fif-

Fancy Costumes-Dr Dressing the Hair.
To choose q costume for fancy dress party
is often quite ptrp' exing, bat to those who
give little thought to the matter there is,
after all, little difficulty IN coming to de-
cision. The long list of characters in roman
tic literature affords great scope for the ar
rangement of character dress, while many
illustrated books of national costume, to be
found at the public libraries, supply the
correct details for any required period. The
entire range of English literature from the
time of Chaucer to the present day abouuds
with suggestions for characters that may be
taken with excellent effect. although Shaks-
peare, of course, is pre.eminent in this re
spect. At shakesperian masquerade party

STYLES N HAIR DRESSING.
The tuck up switches are popular. They
are easily edj usted, ca n be twisted or tied in
various styles. and with the aid Of orna-
mental hair pins make verv pretty couture.
Young ladies affect puffs which are very be-
coming 70 many, and when parted little at
one side add 10 the appearance OF some
faces. The prevailing style is one of those
mythical elements in the American man
segment that is often q perplexity. aud
ladies should care little for the arbitrary de-
mands Of fashion, but followa style that is
be coming SIS well as convenient. The regu-
lation bang" OF unhappy suggestion and
rot specially tender memories, is, fortu-
nstely, thing Of the past, so entirely out of
fashion that even on little girls IL is scarcely
allowable.

Of fashion to make popular the brushing OF
the hair off the forehead, but without any
show of success. The style of covering the

most women that its abandonment will not
be thought of. at least Tor the present. The
brushing of the hair back is al English fash

mental pins in plain tortoise shell are the
most popular among refined ladies. But fe
styles in fancy patterns are called for. a
lovely little smell pin, with a half ring top,
is worn in everyday hair dressing, five or
six being used at time. A large size, with
fat, square top, is also handsome and very
ladylike. Natural flowers are much worn
for evening dress, but always preferably a
gift from some loved one. There are ladies'
who will not wear flowers of their own pur-
chasing, and claim that under such circum-
stances the sweet sentiment that should al
ways accompany the delicate blooms is
gone.
Young girls and children wear their hair
in the simplest fashion. The front may be
slightly clinped but the remaining portion
