Cows Tails Arc Too Short

According to the hide dealer, down
in New York's leather district, known
as the Swamp" nature did not give
cattle tails OF sufficient length, and
the shortcoming in tails is brought
forcibly to the dealers mind in the
spring of the year when every raw hide
in stock has to be looked over for
holes. And these worm holes are
always located in q spot about foot
square in the center of the hide, where
cattle cannot wag their tails. The
holes are from the fly grubs, which
begin to hatch about this time. In
passing by the Swamp" warehouses
nowadays, two men armed with spades
will be seen to take a hide, spread il
on the floor, skin side up, and scrape
and carefully inspect a small spot in
the center Of it. If any holes are
found ten per cent. of the value of the
hide is knocked out of it, and It's put in
a separate pile. And so every stored
hide in the building is hauled over,
all because the "critter's" tail could
not reach the flies. New York Adver'
tiser.

Sad Log OF tile Elbe.

A German gentleman whose wife
and three children went down with
the Elbe has, it is said, just made the
voyage from Hamburg to Southamp-
ton on board the Ems. When the ves-
sci reached the spot where the sea
tragedy occurred, the Captain of the
Ems permitted the speed of his vessel
to abate while the mourning husband
and father lowered into the sea a huge
wreath of flowers weighted with lead.
Another story of the same disaster
is told in an English paper. A young
Swedish merchant found himself in
financial difficulties as the new year
opened, and, dreading to worry his
wife, to whom he had been married
but short time, decided on a secret
trip to America to make personal ap.
peal to wealthy sister living here to
tide him over his difficulties. He told
his wife he was going on a business
trip which would be somewhat longer
than usual, and went off. VIXEN the
word of the disaster went abroad to
shock the world, the waiting wife read
it with intense interest and sympathy,
but with no smallest suspicion that it
meant anything to her personally.
Her brother saw her husbands name
in the list OF lost, and telegraphed to
know if it were indeed he, to which
she replied no, certainly not, that her
husband was out of town, but would
be back in a day or two. From day
to day, receiving no news from him,
the suspense became terrible, till at
last letter from the American sister
confirmed her worst fears beyond a
doubt.-New York Times.

AS TO COOKING RHUBARB.

If one knows of anything that will
save drudgery it seems lack OF kind
feeling not to pass on the information.
It makes me really sad to think of the
hours wasted in past years in remov-
ing the outer covering of rhubarb. /
always disliked it; the stalks did not
yield gracefully to the knife, and tiny
strips Of skin would cling to the four
sides of each stalk. If one were left
you had the feeling an unpleasant
string, like poorly.prepared string
beans, would be the consequence. l
was an unbeliever when told that rhu-
barb did not require peeling. "Why
try it," was the reply.
To try was to convince. Not only
was the rhubarb richer to the taste,
but more tempting to the eye. I
learned many years ago to pour boil
ing water over the rhubarb when pre-.
pared for cooking, let it stand few
minutes, then pour off and add what
is required for the boiling it removes
superfuous acid, makes more delicate
preserve and saves sugar. I have been
grateful for that lesson. Now I fairly
revel in the few moments it takes to
prepare the "plant," and the delicious
"5auce" it makes after few moments
of cooking. Travelled strawberries
cannot compare. Springfield Repub-
lican.

ABSOAaJTEEY PURE
A Gigantic Seaweed.

The giant of the seaweed family
and the largest known species OF ma
rine algae, bears the scientific name
of Nerocystic. 1t occasionally attains
alength of5oo feet and is kept aaoa'
on the oceans surface on account o.
being buoyed by bladderlike enlarge
ments of the stem, which are filled
with air. As the plant grows older
these globose, bladderlike excresences
swell into great retort shaped cylin.
ders, six to seven feet in length, and
between four and five feet in diane
ter. Where this plant grows in any
considerable quantity it becomes i'm
possible for small crafts to pass
through them on account OF the density
of this fohting mass of vegetation.
The natives of tropical islands use the.
bladderlike enlargements mentioned
for water vessels and for storing away
grain. Francisco Examiner.

and once it seemed to her that she was
held in q strong embrace, while the
voice sounded close in her ears.
The next morning she repeated to
the landlord the strange happenings OF
the night. and learned to her amaze
ment that twenty-four hours before,
in the very same room young man
had died of delirium tremens, and oil
through the hours of his agony ne had
called out, sometimes with moans,
sometimes with shrieks:
"Savc me, mother !"
Now, if any one con explain this
occurrence Mrs. Stanton will be glad
to hear from him, for she admits
frankly it is beyond her comprehen'

MRS. srANToN's QUEER EXPERIENCE.

In spite of her eighty years, Eliza
beth Cady Stanton is hale and hearty
still, and appreciates good story as
much as the youngest of her friends.
The other evening she related an ex-
perience that befell her while lectur-
ing in a Western city. She had re-
tired shortly before midnight, and was
Just falling asleep when she felt cold
touch on her hand, md at the same
time heard voice that sounded dis
tinct though faint saying: "save me,
mother" !"
More curious than alarmed, Mrs.
Stanton rubbed her eyes, got up and
lighted the gas, and searched every
where through the room, finding alb
solutely nothing. Then, concluding
that it must have been an halluciua-
tion, she went back to bed again. But
again the phenomenon VAS repeated,
with the same icy touch and the same
voice, that sounded nearer now, and
repeated the singular words:
"Save me, motherl"
All through the night at intervals
this strange manlfestion was repeated,

THE tendency in the milliner's
:, efforts this season is all toward
broad effects and the trim
ming of nearly every style of
hat or bonnet leans that way. The
tiny Dutch bonnets set 80 far back on
the head that they seem lost in front
are worn at teas and receptions and in
the evening for young maids and ma
irons, too, the natty Napoleon,
trimmed toward the back or front, as
fancy dictates, is q favorite. The
large hats are stylish to degree and
q model in black satin braid, had
short thick plumes falling on either
side, one resting on the edge Of the
brim toward the front. A band of
velvet with rhinestone buckle and
bunch of violets at the back and un-
derneath the brim cluster of roses
completed the trimming. The demand
for made hats admits of considerable
originality in the manipulation OF the
straw braid and with the kind known
as patent leather exquisite jet effects
may be obtained without the weight
of the real article. Black and white
and black and brown are frequently
found combined, the tint of the latter
used being Havana. Butter color
fancy straw is also fashionable, espe-
cially for young girls hats. Ribbons
and flowers for the most part form the
adornment of the spring hat, the
Dresden and striped effects in the
latter being especially handsome,
while the flowers are the most perfect
limitations of natures productions,
some of the makers going 30 far as to
initiate dying nature, and withered
leaves, and dying roses are among the
seasons novelties. A beautiful model
for hat is of white lace and net, the
brim slightly projecting aad trimmed
with soft net and sprays of orchids,
and another is quite a flower toque,
velvet pansies heing combined with
the lace. The bonnet pictured here
with is in marron fancy straw. trimmed

didn't dare to pick the boy up and
soothe him. His attempts in the ver'
bal line were dismal failures.
What should he do? Finally a
thought struck him. He looked ct
the crying youngster, and the crying
youngster looked at him through his
tears. He was evidently much pleased
with the impression he was making.
"Cry louder" said he. The child
obeyed. ''Louder yet," urged the
bachelor. A yell went up that would
have done credit to an Indian. "Cry
louder still" insisted the man, and
the boy did his best to obey.
LOUDER" fairly howled his uncle.

shut his mouth with click, and was

HOW TO CHURN QUICKLY.

Churning, as usual thing, takes O
great deal of time, writes Louis Rob-
ertson, and is often looked upon as
the hardest task by the housekeeper,
but think I can give them o quick
and easy way, and want all the read
ers of Home and Farm to try it. First,
the milk must be attended to right.
Air your jars good, strain your nights
milk in the churn and let stand until
after supper, or until it cools. Then
pour your mornings milk into it,
and by the next morning twill beready
to churn if the weather is not too
cold. Set bucket of water on the
stove while cooking breakfast, and as
soon as it boils put your churn in the
bucket and begin churning. The but
ter will come in just few minutes and
will be real firm and nice, and the
milk will not be hurt. Put no water
in it all until after the butter comes.
You will find this quite easy and less
tedious. Home and Farm.

NEW USE FOB BREAD CRUMBS.

Bread crumbs crushed to q coarse
powder are admirable to clean deli
cate lamp shades, screens, pillows,
fringes, scarfs, and panels made of
boiling cloths and numerous other ar
ticles whose decorative Office is sadly
curtailed from the delicacy of their
materials and their hitherto difficult
cleansing. The spot to be cleaped
must be spread on fat surface and
the crums laid on it then, with soft,
clean cloth, these are rubbed around
and around with even strokes. The
crumbs must be frequently renewed,
the soiled ones thrown away. and q

How to Stop q Child Crying.

Bachelors are not usually accred-
tied with much knowledge about the
proper treatment of children, but
sometimes they step in where angels
that is, the mothers Of the children
-.-fear to tread.
A well-known man about town, who
is pretty we'll on in years, and not
very fond of children, stepped in to
see married sister the other day, and
found her trying to amuse her little
boy, about five years of age. Not
long after he arrived, she stepped out
of the room to attend to some house
hold matter or other, leaving him
alone with the child. The latter eyed
him obviously for some minutes.
He was spoiled child if ever there
was one, and had no idea of making
promiscuous acquaintance. The
bachelor tried to make the little one
laugh, but all he got for his antics was
q sour look. Finally, without any
warning, the child burst out crying.
Here was quandary, to be sure. lie

FOR STREET WEAR.

For street wear brocaded silk mo-
hairs, berege poplin, Venetian cloth
and Illuminated serges will be much

of mohair and silk and all silk for call
ing and reception gowns. In the first
mentioned style beautiful model was
aeen in mohair of gray shade, with
old rose figure and glints of green
through the weave; the skirt was ex-
ceptionally full, the godet plaits stand
ing out beautifully and large rosettes
ornamenting the side; the bodice was
trimmed with a full collar of heavy
Russian embroidery and the full effect
WAS obtained by loose straps of old

the end. The sleeves were of mohair
