to stand on something to do it. Since

broken them all myself and some more
besides When quite young l halter
break them and tie them in a stall
part of the first winter and have no
trouble afterward This will teach
them to lead, to back and do other
things when they are old enough to
harness. Many colts are spoiled by the
rough way they are used. never put
a biting harness on them, but put a
bride on and lead them around once or
twice to get them accustomed to the
bit. Do not jam the colts mouth with
the bit to make him open it, but take
the top of the bride in the right hand
and the bit in the left. Put the bit
squareIy against the teeth and work
the finger little on the gums at the
side of the teeth and the bit goes in be-
fore you know it. Pull the bit up in his
mouth, slip the bride over his ears,
smooth down the foretop and the thing
is done almost before you know it. If
the colt objects to taking in the bit,
don't hurry him or get mad. Another
little thing have learned, and that is
in embarrassing not to tie the traces in
hard knots. Take the loose end in one
hand grasp the middle with the other,
bring the loose end around, over and
under the trace and back through the
loop, tying it in figure s. This holds
the trace perfectly and does not hurt it
as does hard winding and tying.-A

A sERY1oEAnLE WATER LITTER.

curb is wooden spout rather large at
the upper end, and projecting inside of
the curb, as shown in the upper left
hand corner of the illustration. Di-
rectly above this, and also represented
In the sketch, is an iron rod firmly at
tached to the inside of the curb, with
the bent end projecting inward an inch
farther than the open spout. This is
the litter which catches one side of The
bucket as it comes up, and holds it I'M
til it is tilted by the continued action
of the crank, and empties its contents
into the open spout. The bucket has a
a two-inch hole in the bottom, covered
by leather valve. The latter is simply
a piece of sole leather, three inches
wide and four long, tackled by one edge
over the hole. A fiat piece of iron or
lead is fastened to the upper surface of
the valve, to keep ii in place. The
bucket must be heavy enough to sink
of its own weight. 1t is well to leave
one of the hinged covers of the curb
open most of the time, to admit air for
the publication of the water.-Amer-

A Marvellous and wholesome Change.

Said very intelligent woman, who,
when in town, stops at hotel on Broad

ton since my girlhood is astounding.
Why, twenty years ago lady would
no sooner have thought of using any
other than the so-called ladies' en-
trance to n hotel than she would now of
making her way through the bar-room.
Now, however, she never bothers her
head to hunt up the ladies' entrance;
the main entrance is good enough for
her, and she walks calmly by cigar
stand, the open door of the cafe, the
long lines of smokers, idlers and loung-
ers, and steps on the elevator or halts
at the desk beside group of dozen
men and calmly asks for her letters.
Put, more than this, she comes
alone, she goes alone, she lives
alone she is no longer
tabooed and ostracised because she is a
woman. Almost every other name you
meet in the literary world is woman's.
She has pushed herself forward, too, in
magazine and newspaper work. She has
her athletic club and her social club,
her artistic unions, her professional so

MARRIED WoMEN'S CONTRACTS.
What the Law of the Different States of
the Union Is Regarding This Matter.

There are few if any states where
che common law rule now prevails in
its old time severity concerning married
women's contracts, but in some the
right of wives to contract is much more
restricted than in others. In many
states married women may now make
all kinds of contracts with nearly or
quite the same degree of responsibility
that married man or q single woman
may do. There arc slight restrictions
on these powers in some of the states !
shall name, but space will not allow of
my going into minute particulars here.
These states are Alabama, Arizona Ter
ritory, California Colorado, both Dalo-
tas, District of Columbia, Idaho, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah
Territory, Vermont, Virginia, Washing
ton, West Virginia and Wyoming.
III IL lliulJtu uulu DeT Ol SlducS HuS-
band and wife may make valid con-
tracts with each other, namely, in Ala
bama, California, Colorado, Idaho, In
diana, Iowa. Kansas, Michigan lin cases
where equity would sustain them,
Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina,
Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Washing
ton and Wisconsin, In other states
such contracts are not legal or binding.
Thus in Massachusetts,, although wife
may make any contract-of any kind
and with any person-that her husband
may, contract or conveyance of any
kind directly between husband and
wife is absolutely invalid and can not
be made binding, and if promisory
note be given by one of a married pair
to the other, it is utterly void and can
not be collected from the maker of the
note or from his or her estate Leila

HOW THEY DRESS.
Tastes OF Some Literary Women In the
Matter OF Apparel

Tastes OF Some Literary Women In the
Matter OF Apparel,
Mrs Ella Dietz Clymer, ex-president
of Sorosis, is always becomingly and
tastefully dressed She is fond of the
delicate shades OF mauve, heliotrope
and gray, which harmonize beautifully
with the sca.shell tints of her complex
ion and with her blond hair. Mrs ely
mer's bonnets are dainty, small and
close fitting,
Mrs. lizzie Champncy dresses very
plainly, and with u studied negligence,
almost always wearing black or some
dark color Marion llarland is also u
very plain dresser appearing usually
in black cloth or silk costumes.
Fannie Aymar Mathews, vivacious
and sparkling brunette, is addicted to
browns and grays, her street costume
for the winter having been rough
brown cloth bordcred with fur and her
reception costume of an exquisite pearl
gray tint, bordered with gray fur, and
with long mantle of gray, fur-lined TO
match.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is an &C.
centric dresser She chooses the Jo-
sephine, Recamier, and Kate Grccna-
way costume, always wearing a loose,
clinging gown indoors, Many of her
gowns are made of white satin, with
Vatican backs and pulled sleeves. She
wears little jewelry, but possesses n
historic bangle, which has a romantic
history. 1t was given her by her hus-
band, and each coin marks a stage in
their courtship. Mrs Wilcox is greatly
addicted to gray.
Miss Elita Proctor Otis is stunning
looking woman, whose toilets are al
ways conspicuous. Entire costumes of
bright scarlet, pink, and white are her
delight, and her favoritc street dress
last summer was gown of lurid tartan
silk
Grace Greenwood wears black and
gray, and on state occasions is quite
the dowager, in black velvet and point
lace.
Kate Field, who runs over so often
from Washington that she can be classed
among New York literary women, inn
ports many of her costumes, and yet at
the same time is an encourager of home
manufactures, Her gowns are pictur-
esque and unique, decidedly unlike any
other woman's.
Dolores Marburgh favors the Joseph
inc and Recamier style of dressing, and
is said to make very pretty picture in
one of these loose gowns, coiled upon
a rug in front of an open fire, which is
her favorite position, At the Au.
thors' club she wore a gray satin Jo-
sephine gown with immense pulled
sleeves.
Mrs. Croly is very plain dresser,
usually wearing black.
Gertrude Atherton is devoted to all
shades of green, both for gowns and
room furnishings, and very becoming il
