The Esthetics Of Hosiery.

There are certain rules about dressing
the legs that must be followed to secure
. good effect. Now, in fancy stockings
the lower part should be dark and the
upper part light. That gives the effect
Of smallness at the ankle and plumpness
at the calf
Reverse the position Of the colors and
the leg will look as straight and ungrace-
full as a stick.
Then II the dark shade does not go all
around the lower part, it should be at the
back, and not in front, for in that ca sc il
gives the ankle fiat look.
The hosiery that is figured with an imi.
tation boot coming up to the swell Of the
calf gives leg the best appearance.
Daily Yellowstone journal., 1886-12-15
TrIckery of Cattle Growers.

How about the branding OF calves'
Yes, that was, and j., a favorite lie
among the Qettle growers. Annually
the spring roundup starts out. Say that
the books Of the ranch show that there
should be 1000 cows on the range.
Without a smile, without the slightest
droop Of an eyelid, the cattle growers
and their cowboys report that the in
crease of calves is 50 per cent. by actual
count, Of the number Of cows the book
represents to be on the range. Every
man of them knows that il the book calls
for 1000 cows, that not more than $50 Of
them are alive and on the range. They
know that the rest lie dead in the forests,
or on the fianks of the foot hills, or in
ravines where they were showed under,
or on the arid plains. And every man
on the roundup knows that not more
than 200 calves were branded and saved.
The lying report Is given to the local
press (which is supported by the cattle
growers) that the Roaring Bull Cattle
Growing association has branded 80 per
cent. Of calves, and editorial comment is
made on the great cropof calves dropped,
and editorial congratulations are ex-
tended TO the cattle growers on the pros
perity of their business. That evening,
after reading the paper. the cowboys and
cattle growers alike say: "Shovepen is q
daisy. Here's to him." and glasses are
lifted to weather cracked lips and their
contents are tilted down alkaline burned
throats. Many cattle growers, who have
been driven out of the business by
heavy losses, have told me within the
past two months that not more than 40
per cent. of the cows they actually owned
ever saved their calves And one bright,
truthful cattle grower who had lost $42,-
600 in handling cattle on the Grand En-
campment river in Wyoming, assured
me in exceedingly vigorous language
that his cows did not, during the five
years he had them, average over 90 per
cent. increase-Frank Wilkeson in New
York Sun.

Nickel. aid Old Coins.

The counterfeiting at present Is con-
0ned almost entirely to the coin issues of
- government IL is not generally
Known that the nickels and the pennies
nrs very successfully counterfeited, and
nat there Is no possible means of de-
nocting the spurious from the genuine.
The nickels afford a very handsome profit.
m the connterfeiters have TO do Is to 90
- the Revised Statutes and there they
Ind the materials to be used in their
making. All OF the metal employed is
hase A nickel costs the government
about IL cents. II the government
lad the exclusive manufacture Of these
coins there would be q great profit in
them. But the coin can be so easily re-
produced that there Is no means OF esti-
mating how many of them are put out Of
tho counterfeit class. II the government
lahould decide to call in this class OF coin
Hey would have to redeem the counter
feits a. well, because they are all made
sf exactly the same material as the gov
eznment's issue. The bronze pennies are
also counterfeited. There is q profit in
fhis. The bronze Of which the pennies
nre made costs twenty-four cents q
pound. A pound Of il will make 100 PEN
01eS. Inc only way tnls part OF tue cur
rency can be detected would be for con-
gress to change the law SO that bullion to
the value of the coin can be put in il.
One Of the latest kinds of counterfeit
fng is the imitation of old coins for sale
TO the numismatists. One of the most
ingenious modes of deception in this class
OF work is the changing Of the dates Of
some common issue Of a certain coin to
the date of year whose issue is scarce
and consequently high. The old Liberty
dollar of 1904 is very scarce. 1t is.said
that there are only seven genuine coins Of
this issue in this country. The coin is
rated in numismstic catalogues at value
of 81 200 and upward. The counter
feiters have been quite successful in
changing 1S0 issues to that of 1904. This
is not counterfeiting in the strict legal
sense OF the word, and the treasury OFF,
cials would not be able to punish anyone
for this class OF offense. But they have
exercised their power to put a stop to
such work wherever they have found It
going on.-Washington Cor. New York
World.
