KNEE.BREECHES IN SOCIETY.

Another attempt will be made
this season to popularise knee
breeches at social gatherings in
Baltimore. Several men have de-
clared their intention to wear them
at the coming bal poudre. Last
year a number OF young men,
mostly bicyclers, appeared at the
germans Tor several evenings, but
the attempted revival resulted In
little success, and the breeches
have not appeared since. But
agitation is the fOrerunner OF edu'
cation. Seven New Workers have
organized themselves into a club
in that city for the introduction OF
the comfortable knee. breeches and
short dress coat. They recently
attended a reception in a BODY,
created a sensation, and were
much admired. The members are
prominent young men, and ex'
pect their united efforts to result
in success. They wore knee
breeches OF rich black satin, fasten-
ed at the knee with silver buckles.
Black silk stockings encased the
calves, and the dancing pumps
were made after the fashion of the
old Knlckerbocker shoe, and
fastened with buckles Of FURNISHED
silver. The dress-cOats we're OF
black velvet, cut somewhat alter
the style of shooting. jackets, and
were worn over lOw.cut waistcOats
of black watered silk, such as Is
worn with the dress coat OF the
present season. Each man wore a
linen dress shirt, with plain bosom
aud standing collar, encircled with
plain white tie. At present
guests and servants appear IN the
same attire, and the dOorkeeper OF
every fashionable house answers
the bell in a swallow -tall and white
shirt front. The advocates OF the
innovation claim, as the advantages
of knee. breeches, that there Will
be no bagglng at the knees or
wrinkled coat. tails that usually

siderable bother. The wearer feels

He did not Advertise,

A nervous looking man went IN
to a store the other day and sat
down for half an hour or so, when
a clerk asked him il he could do
anything for him. He said no; he
didn't want anything. The clerk
went away and he sat there half
an hour longer, the proprietor came

all things I should avoid being in

But BY sudden wrench, believe not

Feed For Cattle.

Within the past FIVE years the farmers
who have been able to make any money
are those who have turned their attention
to cattle; and the great question is, what is
the best feed
In Kansas and Texas the farmers have
used and prefer SORGHUM CANE FODDER
to ell otheI feed. Many OF them claim
that fodder is equal to so per cent of corn.
1t can be sown in drills and the stalks cut
up, out the popular and most profitable
way to plant is to SOW broadcast, one and
one half bushel 10 the acre. II can be cut
twice, and ten acres of this cane will pro-
duce as much as forty of millet. r. T.
Wall, Vernon county, and L. K. Scho6eld,
st. Clair Co, No., use this feed extensive
ly. There has been such d,mand for
this sorghum sugar cane seed, but for the
production from the sugar cane raised for
the Kan. sorghum sugar, the seed would
be we'll worth 500 per bushel, but such
has been the growth of the sorghum mills
of Kansas, and the consequent supply Of
seed from the sugar cane, it can be deliv-
cred at any station in Missouri at within
20 cts. per bushel.
Davis & Co., grain dealers, Fl. Scott,
Kansas, control most of the seed from the
mills of Kansas. 4-l4d1twIt
