A BIG CUT
In Wages Said to Have Been Made by the
p. & W. r. r. Manager.

In Wages Said to Have Been Made by the
p. g. W. r. r. Manager.
General Manager Mcdonald, of the P. s,
W. R. R., who recently received the ap-
pointment, has taken charge of affairs. II
reports received last night are correct, he
proposes to operate the road on very
economical plan. One of the employees said
last night that Manager Mcdonald ordered
90 per cent reduction in the wages Of the
clerks ali along the line.
This sweeping reduction in wages is al
most incredible, and an effort was made to
see President Oliver, but he is out of the
city.
Mr.. Mcdonald could not be found. Sew
eral railroad men were questioned in regard
to the cut, but they discredited the state
ment, saying that wages we're SO low now
that itwould be almost impossible to re
duce them.

An officer arrested two men coming out of

fought hard to destroy some papers. They
proved to be attachments for board bills.
They gave their names as Albert McAnerney

has been hunting.

The Greatest Double Bass Artist.

Antonio Bottesini, the greatest artist
that ever played the double bass, has
Just died in Parma, Italy. He was 66
years old, having been born in December,
1928. Between the acts Of the opera he
occasionally performed solos upon the
double bass, which excited the greatest
enthusiasm. All that Paganini had ever
done upon the violin was repeated by
Bottesini upon his gigantic instrument:
Every effort of brilliancy, of deicacy and
of pathos was at his command, and after
two or three evenings he was recognized
as one of the greatest geniuses Of modern
musical art. This reputation was con-
firmed in London, where he Immediately
became favorite, and when he appeared
in Paris it was augmented. For time
he was the director of the orchestra at
the Italian opera in Paris, and srbse-
quently became the. manager OF the
italian opera in Cairo. He wrote several
operas, which were performed success
fully, though we believe none OF them
ever crossed the ocean to this country.
Personally, Bottesini was tall, graceful
and interesting, and in private life the
friendship of those who knew him best
was as cordial and as lasting as the ad-
miration of the public for the artist.

Big Birds in the Transyaal.

Most of the larger birds that I have
seen in the Transvaal, Africa, are evident
ly of great bodily powers, which their
ample wings sufficiently indicate. These
are half vulturine in form as well as IN
habit. My companion and wounded a
bird of this description one day with the
gun with which he had fullliberty here).
I don't know its name, but here is de-
scription: Body and neck pure white,
wings black, fiat bill z 1-2 inches long,
legs 81 inches and 1-2 feet from tip to
tip of the wings. We brought him home
and had him going about the green for
days. One day we discovered him "bolt-
ing" snake about two feet long (by de-
scription the African cerastes, a rather
evilly disposed species, one of the cobras)
and three days aftcrward we found him
dead.
Next in size to this bird is the Kafir
crane, which is dark-blue in plumage.
This is much of the build of the former
bird with this exception-its bill is more
Of beak, short and strong. Next comes
the vulture, tuly of the fowl-feeding
race, for he is not long in picking the
bones of any oxen that die. 1t used to
be a fine of twenty pounds for shooting
this bird in the Free States, they were
considered so valuable in removing putrc-
scent animal remains, and I believe their
services are essential yet. We have half
a dozen different kinds of hawks, some
resembling our English birds of prey in
size and habits, but of much finer plum
age.-Nemeastk Chronicle.

WATER THE COWS.

In hot weather do not be content to
drive the COWS to water once day, but
if possible let them have constant access
to it. Where this is impracticable, come
as near to it as you can and give them
water at least three times day. Often
by a small outlay water can be piped from
spring into troughs in distant pastures,
so that animals need not travel for it..
When the water supply is near at hand
they will drink in moderate quantities as
they need it, which is much better than
to gorge themselves once or twice day,
as they will when extremely thirsty. A
cow that does not have water regularly
and in sufficient quantities in hot weather
.cannot be depended on to hold out in her
milk, and when decrease in the flow is
once established from any cause it is not
easy to regain it. Not only is it for the
comfort of the COWS to let them have all
the water they will drink, but it is for
our own profit that it should be not only
abundant but pure and wholesome. Al
lowing cows to drink stagnant water is
bad enough at any time and will always
affect the milk and butter more or less,
but in the heat of summer it should not
be permitted on any account. York.

Northern Hemp Culture.

The subject of hemp culture is draw
ing the serious attention of farmers In
the Northern States. At present hemp
is chiefly grown in Kentucky, Missouri
and Tennessee, or on the rich bottom
lands. Recent occurrences in the jute
bag trade have drawn attention to the
culture of our native product. Hemp
will make cord for binding grain quite
strong enough, and hempen bagging will
cover cotton bales as well as that made
from iute. The culture of hemp and Its
manufacture into bagging and twine
will be double gain; we shall have the
material and have the money formerly
sent abroad for these materials. A few
years ago the Dutch farmers of Eastern
Pennsylvania grew the flax, which was
spun and woven by their wives and
daughters into grain bags, wagon covers
and domestic sheeting; and there are few
more thrifty people than these same
farmers. One of these coarse linen bags
was good for twenty-five years service
without repair, which is ten times that OF
the fimsy gunny cloth and cotton bags
now in use. 1t is to be hoped that the
culture Of hemp, and its manufacture,
may be largely increased.-Neu YorA

THE BUsTLE MUST GO.

The Partisan dressmakers are deter
mined on the complete humiliation of
the hustle. The models shown by the
leading artistes afford but slight bouffant
effect for the absence of that long-worn
tournure, and the simplest draperies are
considered the most stylish. was in one
of the inner sanctuaries of fashion one day
this week, ,and observed with some amuse-
ment the filters removing from the
dresses of the ladies, upon whom they
were trying on new corsages, the small
cushion that they were wearing in their
summer dresses. One or two small steels
are still being used to give shapcly ef-
feet to the back of the skirt, but nothing
more than this will be stylish. Many of
the summer styles that are now brighten
ing the boulevards will be repeated in
darker colors and heavier fabrics for the
winter. The bodice now so largely af-
fectedis pointed just an inch or so below
the waist line, and to this is gathered a
full, round skirt. The old-fashioned
bordering of narrow velvets laid on in
odd designs or in plain, straight rows
frequently trims these round skirts, which
are youthful and exceedingly pretty. Of
course, they are mounted on petticoats of
silk or satinnette, and when worn with
girdles of velvet ribbon or with loosely
tied sashes of broad crepe de chene or
surah the effect is much more youthful.
It is a style much in favor for travelling
dresses, except that the pointed corsage
is replaced by the jacket, with either a
real or simulated vest. Extreme SIM
plicity is what is aimed at in these
models, and much trimmed or furbe-
lowed street gowns are entirely passe.-

A GIRLS TOILET ARTICLES.

A sensible girl will not keep lot of
cosmetics and drugs on her toilet-table,
but there are q few articles she should
always have in a convenient place. She
should always have an array OF glass
stopped bottles containing alcohol, alum,
camphor, borax, ammonia, and glycerine
or vaseline. A little camphor and water
may be used as wash for the mouth and
throat if the breath is not sweet. Pow
dered alum applied to a fever sore will
prevent it from becoming very unsightly
and noticeable. Insect stings OF. erup-
tions on the skin are removed by alco-
hol. A few grains of alum in tepid
water will relieve people whose hands
perspire very freely, rendering them un-
pleasantly moist. A few drops of sui
phuric acid in the water are also benefi-
cial for this purpose, and are also desira-
BILE for those whose feet perspire freely.
We should always recommend care In
the use of scented soap; in many cases
the perfume is simply disguise for poor
quality. A good glycerine or honey soap
is always preferable. Of course, one may
rely on scented soap from high-class
manufacturer, but it costs more than it is
worth. In addition to the soap for bath
ing, white CASTLE soap should be kept
for washing the hair. Occasionally a
little borax or ammonia may be used for
this purpose, but it is usually too harsh
in its efects.-Ths Family Doctor. Sd.

so by far than many swine-owners show
themselves to be. The hogs stomach is
small, and it is not wise to confne him
to grass alone, if we desire that a good
gain be made; and without such gain, it
is better by far that no hogs be allowed
upon the premises, as no sort OF farm
stock will pay for the rearing and fatten-
ing if kept otherwise than in market
able or very near marketable condition
from the start. Ifhogs are kept at grass,
and this is the proper place for them,
cheap shelter should be provided, not in
one place alone, for but few, MOTTO exceed
half dozen, should nest together. All
that is required of summer shelter for
swine is that it turn water, and that so
completely that the nest is kept dry.
This division of the herd insures that the
droppings be not all deposited in one
place. It also enables those that incline
to ego together" to have this privilege,
unmolested by the fractions members,
and there are such in all herds.-Prairie

CHANGES IN RIDING HABITS.

Riding habits are undergoing great
change, and one which fills the heart Of
the man dress-maker with dismay. La
dies are now finding out that jerseys are
easier to ride in than the stiff 'habit
basque" of late years, and they are
adopting them, and riding skirts are no
longer made so tight that the wearer has
to button them all the way up. The
skirts are now made a yard and half
long and only the front breadth is gored.
The rest is plated in at the sides and
back. The skirts are two yards and a
half around. The effect is thus far
more graceful and pleasing to the eye.
It is to be hoped, however, that ladies
will not run into the other extreme and
make the skirts so long as to be danger
Gus. The trousers will not be discarded.
Riding hats, also, are to be changed,
and now, instead of high hats, or jockey
or derby, a wide-brimmed and soft felt
hat with long, sweeping plume will be
worn. It not infrequently happens that
the inside of a parasol receives more
decorations than the cover. A green
parasol is considered very chic if pale
tinted end perfectly plain or the inside,
while within every rib is edged with a
full fall of white lace, one or two lengths
crossing midway the pretty streamer-
hung pavilion. The same idea is car
ried out in handsome Directory parasol,
with cover of heavy, white brocade
adorned only by its very richness until
one peeps into the inside and discovers
the white ribbons and knotted bows
