GIVING A PILL.

is greatly increased. The medicine
must be given quietly and skilfully,
or the thrashing about of the animal
in it's efforts at resistance will do more
harm than the good effected by the
drug.
If the medicine is in a liquid form
it may be administered by tying up
the head of the horse as high as pos
sible, putting up boards to prevent
being struck by the fore feet, pouring
the mixture from bottle, and hold
ing the head high until the horse is
obliged to swallow. Il
The easiest method when the medi-
cine is to be given as paste, which
is oftentimes necessitated from the
decided distaste which the horse has
for the drug, refusing to eat it with
the foods to mix the medicine with
bran, making sticky mass that can
be rolled into ball. This may be
wrapped in a small piece of tissue
paper, SO as to keep it from the ami
mails tongue.
The person administering should
bare the right arm and stand in front
of the horse, little to the right, and
with the left hand take hold of the
horses tongue, draw it gently from
the mouth, placing it on that part Of
the lower jaw that is bare of teeth.
It is good precaution to place the
tongue between the molar teeth to
prevent the horse closing his mouth
and biting the arm. The right hand
holding the ball is now inserted in
the horses mouth as shown in the
accompanying cut, and the ball de-
posted at the root of the tongue.
The right hand is then withdrawn,
the tongue released, and a small hand
full of hay offered to the horse at
once, the head being still held up.
In the movement made to eat the hay
he swallows the ball, and it's course
down the gullet may be seen by watch
ing the side of the neck.-New York

FASHIONS FANCIES.
STUDIES IN THE DREsSMAKER
AND THE MILLlNER'S ARTS.
How the Delicate Fabrics Of This Sea-
son Are Made Up-A Pretty
Dress Of Dimity-Hat in
Brown Straw.
THE special study of the dress
maker in st now is how To make
up to the very best advantage

maker Just now is how to make
/ up to the very best advantage
the thin and delicate fabrics
with which the markets are filled.
This, says the Ledger, is a season of
semi-transparent materials, and who
ever has the time, patience and ingen-
uity to devise new ways Of putting
them together is just so much ahead
in the fashionable race.
There is fancy for puffs of various
widths, and waists made mp with vel
vet ribbon or galloon and pufs alter
mating are among the latest and most
admired caprices. A novelty in this
line is a costume of dotted silk-mull
and velvet, The spots and the velvet
match in color, and the thin goods are
out in strips the width of the velvet,
very closely gathered and overseamed
to the ribbon. A fashion of putting
these materials together somewhat
more easily than this is to join the
puffs by means of plain strip and
sew the velvet on over it.
Rolling the edges of rufac or puff
and sewing it over and over has be-
come almost a lost art, and dress
makers have had no end of trouble in
finding skilled workwomen to under
take this portion of the task. In some
waists the puhs are graduated so that
all of them run narrower at the waist
line. They are of equal width where
they meet the belt and nearly double
the width at the upper part of the
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1894-08-15

waist. Long streamers OF the same
velvet ribbon fall from the shoulders,
and rosette is worn at the belt. This
style of trimming is much liked, being
specially suited for dressy costumes.
With waist of this sort, skirt is
made with the material in folds, and
sections OF velvet matching the ribbon
are arranged as panels. Another pretty
dress is made of null with the finest
of dots in color. The skirt is very
full and slightly draPed, there being
an uuderskirt effect across the front
and side-widths.. This lower skirt is
trimmed with wide bands of insertion
above scant and very harrow rutfle.
The drapery is perfectly plain, with n
deep hem. The waist has three rows
of insertion, one around the lower
edge just above the belt, the other one
Immediately below the arms and the
third around the shoulders and over
the bust. Above this upper row the
material is shirred to form yoke. It
is nice little task to shirr yoke in
to fit the figure perfectly, and upon
the accuracy of the lines and the ar
rangement of the fullness depends
much of the effect OF the garment. In
this instance, the gathers are as per-
fectly laid as though by machinery.
This is secured by making the stitches
exactly of a length and the rows Oh
equal distance all around. The sleeves
of this dress are departure from or
dinary models. They are almost
straig ght, having sufficient curve over
The tops to make them fit perfectly,
and they are not gathered in any band,
but fall loosely from the arms just be-
low the elbows. They are made with
three rows of insertion, equal distance
apart, the lower row forming the edge
of the sleeve. The dress is elaborately
trimmed with ribbons OF the color Of
the dot in the goods.
The lavish use of insertion in some
the newest imported designs is one OF
the features of the makiug-up Of thin
fabrics.
The charming gown in the double
column illustration is in fine lined
silk, arranged with red and yellow
shot silk gauze and paste buttons;
guipure lace and gold straw nat, flow
ers toning with shades in gown. The
make of this gown is extremely novel
and stylish and suitable for any fete.

How Quail Are Caught.

When frightened quail will always
hold his head up. This fact is always
taken advantage of by trappers, and
vast numbers of them are caught by
the simplest of means. All that isl
necessary is box with an opening
through which the birds can pass,
trail them into the box with corn, and
when once in the box they will neve1
get out, because the hole being at the
bottom they will look up and never
see it. Another characteristic of quails|
assists the trappe-s; they will all fol-
low their leader, and when he enters
the box the entire covey is caught

An Improvement in Churns.

An improvement in the ordinary
box-shaped concussion churn has been;
made in Australia. The improvement
consists simply in having two square
apertures, one opposite the other, in
stead of the one aperture which is the
rule in ordinary churns. The second
opening permits thorough ventilation
after the operation of churn'ng is
concluded, and also enables the clean
ing to be much more effectually done
than under the old condition. New

A New Method of Canning.

The French industry of icing milk
is an original departure in canned
commodities. The milk is frozen and
placed in block form into tins, and on
the part OF the purchaser requires to
be melted previous to use. Being
Theoretically sealed, the commodity
thus iced preserves it's form until it is
required, when a minutes exposure to
the suns rays or the heat of the fire
is all that is necessary to reduce it to

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The decision of Monsignor Satolli the
Pope's Legate OF the United States, uphold,
ing the ruling of Bishop Watterson, OF
Ohio, is one of the most important
ever made by the Church in this
country. The bishop orders that no
one engaged in the liquor traffic should be
admitted 10 membership in the various So
cieties connected with or forming part OF
the Church organization. He even suspends
every society from its rank and privilege un-
til it ceases to be offlcered by such men.
Mgr. satolli refers to the liquor traffic las
the source OF much evil" and although the
decision may not technically apply 10 juris-
dictions outside OF that of Bishop Watterson,
the moral effect will extend all over the
country.-National Temperance Advocate.

appropriated to divisions. Under
the law the commissioners may,
for convenience in letting CON
tracts, or to expedite the work, cut
divisions Into sections and let each
section separately; but the aggre-
gate sum expended on the several
sections cannot exceed the sum APP
propriated for a division, nor, in
my opinion, can the commissioners
authorize the building of certain
sections Of division, and consume
the amount available for the entire
division in so doing, and leave
other sections untouched. The
object of the law is declared in the
act itself, 'to construct system
of state wagon roads" Certainly
this object cannot be accomplished
by the building of a section of the
road here and there with unfinish-
ed or untouched sections lying be-
tween. In my opinion, if the bids
are in excess of the appropriation
for division, there remains moth
ing for the commissioners to do
save to re-advertise for bids, to
secure county aid in completing
the divisions, or to refer the matter
to the coming legislature.

ID. III. TELCHER, STATE WAGON
ROAD COMMISSIONER, GRANGEvILLE,
Idaho. DEAR SIR Il have your
letter Of the 10Th inst. submitting
the following questions, to-wit
"Whenever the appropriation for a
division of the state wagon road is
insufficient to build such whole
division, can the money be applied
to a portion of such division with
out completing the whole division,
provided, the starting point of
such division is the same as that
named in the act of the legislature
of Idaho Second session house bill
No. 27) and continued in a con-
nected line as far as the appropri-
alton will complete the same.
In reply permit me to say that
after close review of the law, l
am of the opinion that the commits
sioners cannot expend the amount
appropriated for an entire division
in building a portion of it. 1t was
clearly the Legislative intent to
establish system of completed
wagon roads, by the expenditure
of q fixed and determined amount;
and not to construct a system of
fractional sections of a road, that
would be disconnected and useless.
An examination of the state wagon
road act cotirms this view. The
several. divisions of the proposed
system of roads are set out in the
act and the initial and terminal
points declared, and also the
amount to be expended in building
each of said divisions; the commits
sioners being still further restricted
by the declaration in the act that
the contracts let shall not exceed
the aggregate of the several sums
