The shreWd girl knows by instinct almost
that, with a pretty boot a neat glove, a nice
handkerchief, and becoming bonnet, she
IS dressed Add a pretty petticOat, and she
is a lady, She has the divine idea of the
fitness Of things, too, and you won't see
her wearing a silk dress and cOlOred cot
ton underskirt. All. moi She may or may
not be all that she ought to be, but she can
take up her skirts out of the mud when she
crosses the street, and that is what too
many of our women can't do.
Here is picture, as the juvenile primers
would put it. Of a lady with her dog and her
parrot. i he most active Of the three figures
clearly is the little terrier, and the inert one
is the bird which is a stuffed one perched
as permanently on her hat as the ehangea-
blenesS Of millinery will permit. It is q new
Whim Of mOdish women to have their pet
birds prepared by a ta2idermist, then trans
ferred to the milliner's hands and finally
placed in the headgear of the mourning
mistress. Nothing seems too ridiculous for
our bellies to do in the matter Of dress
adOrnment. The gown of this one, hOWeV-
or, is cOnventtOnally in the prevailing style.

Will gradually disappear, but women with
attractive figures will be slow, as they al

But there are taiIOr-mad6 jackets in pro-

with them ready made, as we'll as with all

How Passover Bread Is Made.

In the preparation of the Jewish
passover bread the kneading is done
in the ordinary way. Pure gunpowder
water is the only component added.
The time for the dough to be baked is
reduced to the minimum. 1t is bro
ken into fat cakes and then run be-
tween rollers into very thin sheets.
Over these workman rolls a pro
longed steel to perforate the dough, so
that airholes may be seen in baked
cakes. A steel hoop cuts the dough
into round, fat sheets, which are then
ready for the oven. The baker then
stands with paddle attached to a very
strong handle. With the aid Of a boy
he thrusts the cakes into the brick
compartment, and In a half a minute
pulls them out ready for use. A mat
Zath cake is round, about four feet in
diameter, somewhat Drowned, and hav-
ing slight airhoIe projections on its
surface. They have a rather pleasant
taste, not unlike that Of crackers, and
make a good substitute for bread. In
some places there Is a demand through
out the entire year for the unIeavened
cakes by dyspeptics. About eight
cakes weigh a pound, which IN large
quantities sell at Sc. The cakes are
very brittle, and their pieces are
ground up into fine meal. This is the
substitute for wheat -four in the house

IT is stated that there are more
ducks in China than in all the world
outside gift. They are kept on every
farm, on the private roads, and on all
the lakes, rivers, and smaller streams.
There are many boats on which as
many as 1900 are kept. Their eggs
constitute one of the most important
articles of food. They are Matched in
establishments fitted up for the pur-
pose. Some of them turn out as many
as $4,000 young ducks every year.
Sailed and smoked ducks are sold in
ali the towns, and many of them are
exported to countries where Cinnamon

the continent or theaters of London
that does not count at least one Ameri-
can among its leading attractions, and
American actors and actresses are as
well known to the play-gOers Of the
English metropolis as are those OF
England in the United States.
One of the very first American girls
that made a success upon the Euro
pean boards was a very accomplished
ballet dancer. Her stage name was
Nile. Augusta, and she was renowned
no less for the grace and mOdesty Of her
dancing than for It's artistic finish.
Then the fair and talented Anna
Cora Mowatt crossed the Atlantic and
created a marked sensation in the Lon
don theaters. She was so lovely and
sweet and winning, as well as gifted,
that she fairly took her English audi
ence by storm.
It must have been about the same
epoch that Edwin Forrest played an
engagement in London, and failed to
secure the success to which he was I'M
.dOubtedly entitled. His portrait. pre-
scented by himself, still adorns the
walls of the Garrick Club in London,
side by side with that of his rival
Macready.
Next come the Cushman sisters in
the freshness of youth and IN the full
bloom of their talent, one a genius and
the other a beauty, and forming to-
gether a combination that is irresisti-
bic, the talent of Charlotte being sup
pIemented and set off by the charms
of her sister Susan. They produced a
marked sensation in Romeo and Ju-
het," Charlotte impersonating Romeo
and Susan, Juliet. The fair Juliet was
wOOed and Won by a wealthy English
merchant, and thereafter retired into
the shades of private life, leaving Char
lOtte to continue her professional
career alone, and to grow in greatness
to the end.
Other American players and singers
who have appeared on European
boards and achieved success are Ed
win Booth, Clara Louise Kellogg,
Elise Hensler, Laura Harris, Gene
We've Ward, Mr.. and Mrs. W. J. Flor
ence, Minnie Palmer, John T. Ray
mOnd, Lawrence Barrett, Richard
Mansfield, Grace Hawthorne, Lolita

achieved fame in Europe, their name
is legion.

ideas which, in their anglomaniac way,
they derive from the nObs Of Great Britain.
For example, the dOg-carU was originally
an English vehicle used in conveying dogs
and accOuterments for fox chasing, and
never intended for any other purpose; but
Americans transported the uncomfortable
twO-Wheeled cart and adapted it to pleas
ure driving. 1t is just about the same way
with the naval cap. which IS illustrated on
the head of the little dude in the picture.
1t is worn abroad by amateur yachUSm6n.
Now, Newport is a rendezvous of American
sailors for amusement only and they got
into the habit, last summer, of wearing
their nautical caps on the land. That IN
trOduced the fashion locally, and fellows
who wouldn't know halyard from hand
rail appeared with their heads in naval
caps. Inc style has extended unIteoIyS
and justpOssibly it may get into vogue.
1t is more agreeable to cOns1 Ter the pref
tier new headgear for the other sex. To
generalize as to the hats Of autumn, it may
be said that many of them are distinguished
by crowns OF moderate height and brims Of
more or less capaciOus size. a passing
Whim is to turn the brims up behind, as
shown in the sketch. In these cases the
materials were velvet and felt There is at
least one advantage for DEaIn-tac6d girls in
this fashion Of folding up the brim behind
and leaving dt ShadOWingly down in front.
They may at least arrange their back hair

vorite toque is frequent, and the capOte
holds favor especially fer calling and
church going. The tOqu8 is frequently
elongated and lattened as compared with
the summer shapes, and the poke shapes
present trimmings that are sometimes dar-

The Mormon Church is reaching out
for a frmer hold upon the women of
its fold, and perhaps is also trying to
convince the world that the lot of the
Mormon woman is a happy one. The
announcement has been made that the
Daughters of Zion" societies will is
sue a magazine devoted to the interests
of the association and to the advance
ment and good Of the Mormon women
in general. The project has the in
dorsement of the heads of the church,
and the journal viii be edited by a
daughter of Brigham Young. This
announcement, following, as it does so
closely, an interview with a daughter
of the late Young, in which the system
of polygany is Endorsed, seems to be
part of a definite plan to increase the
Saints influence over the women.

PROF. B. T. GALLOWAY, chief of the
section of vegetable pathology, De
partment of Agriculture, has recently
succeeded, as the result of practical
experiments, in producing a remedy
for the disease called pear leaf blight
and apple mildew, which annually
causes great destruction to those trees.
AS a result of practical experiments he
feels justified in recommending it to
the farmers and fruit growers as both
eficacious and economical. The rene
dy consists of the application of a fun
gicide, with an appliance by which
$4,000 plants were sprayed in a day
and a half at a cost, not including
labor, of $475 for each application,
five being required to secure good
results.

A Dreaded Task.

A task never grows smaller or lighter
by sitting down and lamenting that it
must be done, and there is an old max
i'm that teaches us that a thing "Once
begun is half done"
A farmer friend of mine has a boy
of IA years, named Billy, who is like a
good many other boys of my acquaint-
ance. His heart is heavy, and a cloud
Immediately Overspreads the mental
horizon when he is asked to make him
self useful.

many of them taters I'll never get
them hOed."

"How are you ever going to do the
work if you don't begin ?"
"We1, III begin pretty soon"
His father walked away, and I heard
Billy exclaim, in a tone indicating
great mental distress:

makes me sick to think about them"
"Why do you think about them,
then?" I asked, Iaughingly.

"How long, now, Billy, viii it really
take you to hoe them ?"
We'll, at least an hour"
"And you've been distressed about it
ever since you got up?"
SWELL hate to hoe taters."
"And you've been up a little more
than five hours %
"WeH, IL" Billy took up his
hoe and said, "I never thought Of

And the potatoes were hoed in just
forty minutes. He doubles his task

Not one person in a thousand 1aces his
shoes correctly. About the nearest
anybody gets to it is to lace as tightly
as possible. The correct way is to put
your foot when you are about to lace
your shoe as much as possible In the
heel Of the shoe. You can do this best
by Iacing your shoes with the heel Of
your shoe resting IN chair standing
in front Of the one you are seated on.
Over the instep the Iacing should be
