An exceedingly pretty idea In the
way of decoration for dinner table is
to have flowers and ferns frozen arti-
ficially in block of clear, transparent
ice. The effect is very beautiful. In
the window of a downtown restaurant
fish are frozen in this way and dis
played to the admiring public. As a
table decoration block of ice will last
several hours; but care should be taken
to arrange it over some deep receptacle
to prevent the melted water from over

stylish Linen Collars and Cum.

The puritan sets of linen are very
pretty to look at and exceedingly pic
turesque upon women of certain style,
but they are exceedingly trying 70 those
not blessed with complexion of milk
ambrose tints. The plain dead-white
cuffs reach nearly to the elbows. The
collars are either straight bands or
otherwise wide turn-overs. They are
much more becoming when the edges
are finished with fine linen or Valen-
ciennes lace. Upon some of the sets
the stitching, or tied work, is done
rather far from the edge, giving the APP
pearance of a wide hem. Pretty sleeve
links or studs are essential to fasten the
cuffs. Some of the cuffs are deep and
straight, others shaped to the arm, but
fiaring slightly at the top. Chicago

The Waving Plumes.

Plumes, big and little, dark and light,
falling and standing up, are in very gen
eral favor on the large hats. especially
on those that are bent in some odd or
picturesque way. The favorite mode of
arranging them is in the stiff fashion
known as the prince of Wales. When
there are two punches of feathers on
the hat or bonnet, whatever it may be,
those in front being somewhat smaller
than those at the back, they are tied to-
geter with a narrow ribbon which, in
addition to their being wired, give them
the air belonging absolutely to the
plumes of his royal highness the future
king of England. On large hats, plumes
arranged in this way are very high and
are really very trying TO the face, as
they stand up positively in an aggres-
sive manner and give none of their
pretty softening effect to the skin.
Really, though, it must be confessed
that they have rather smart air which
is most attractive. Home Jour

AN INTERRUPTED GAME.
A Kind-Hearted Old Gentleman Restored
the Penny.

the Penny.
Hundreds of odd little bits OF life oc-
cur upon the streets of great city like
Chicago every day, perhaps every hour.
Two little gamins were playing pitch
ers," as they call it, on the pavement a
day or two ago. One boy was larger
than his companion, and seemed to be
having all the luck. The game consists
of pitching a penny to make it land as
near a certain crack in the walk as pos
sible. The larger boy had won two of
the others pennies, whereat the little
fellow was feeling exceedingly wroth.
1t was his turn to pitch, and he
poised himself and let the coin
fly with the utmost care. 1t was
a good shot, it was an excellent
shot; it was perfect shot for, it landed
exactly upon the crack. The little fell
low was exulting. for he knew his
adversary could no more than tie hmm
and the chances were he would recover
one of his lost pennies. But his joy
was suddenly changed to grief A mild
looking. benevolent and pleasant-faced
I'D gentleman was just at that moment
walking by with a cane. lie heard
the "chinlk" of the coin as it struck the
pavement; he saw the boy some feet
away and naturally concluded the lad
had dropped it. Ready and willing to
do a kind action, the old gentleman
stopped, picked up the penny and
handed it to the boy.-Chicago' Press.

system, however, must be carefully fol-

chambers must be distinct and must
not admit draft up or down or around

the upper portion of the house above

RATIONS FOR STOCK.
How Much should Be Fed and What
Kinds of Feed.

HOW Mucn SnOutu lie Feu ana WhAt
Kinds of Feed.
How much shall we feed? The cues
ton just stated is frequently heard and
it deserves a considerable answer. With
regard to cattle it may be stated in
brief thus: 1t takes just so much to
keep the stock in a good healthy con-
dition without gaining pound; if more
than this is demanded, extra and bet
ter rations must be served. Two forks
full of hay and six or eight ears of
corn fed at regular times will keep a
steer at his weight, but if you want
him to grow, to fatten, he ought 20
have of hay all that he will eat and the
corn besides. 1t is best, however, to
give regularly what will be eaten rath-
er than to feed lavish ly to be trampled
under foot
The same treatment may be given to
a milch COW. no matter whether she is
dry or in milk or coming in milk. II
should be remarked here that it is best
not to feed a cow about to become
fresh with mill feed in order to stimu-
late and enlarge the milk production;
such treatment is likely to superinduce
the dreaded parturient fever. Forty
eight hours after calving, if the COW
has CLEANED" well, it will do to in
crease the feed calculated to increase
her milk.
Horses that labor should be fed their
grain in regular quantities and at reg
ular times Six quarts of oats three
times a day with hay ad libitum Is
enough for an ordinary-sized horse. A
fat horse will require less feed and
keep in condition than a gaunt one.
II is well to shake the dust out of
grain or nay that is to be fed. Stock
relish it better and will eat more of
il.
One must be very careful in feeding
shipstuff fourth grade -four because
little too much will act as physic and
will give cattle a backset
The careful stock feeder will SO man
age that the animals will be ready for
their meals when they are given them.
Have salt within reach of horses and
give a small handful to each of the cat
tie two or three times a week.-St

Two Kinds of Pineapples.

There are two kinds of pineapples,
the 'birdseye and the sugar loaf. The
former are not often brought to this
market from the fact that they do not
bear transportation SO well as the sugar
loaf, being much more apt to spoil in
transit. In the extreme South and
West Indies, however, they are far more
highly esteemed for desert than the
sugar loafs, which, in turn, are much
better suited for preserving. In the
home of the pineapple, the sugar loafs
are eaten raw only when the birdseye
variety can not be obtained st. Louis
