Becf Eating IN Japan.

A japanese contributor in The Popular
Science Monthly says When l was n
young boy the custom Of eating beef be-
gan to spread. As blood was regarded as
unclcan and also as Japan had been II
strong agricultural country, there was a
deep rooted dissemination to eat beef. In
this, Of course, one has also to recognize
the influence of the vegetarian principle Of
Buddhism but to anybody who had ever
tasted beef it was SO delicious that he could
hardly control his natural appetite by his
religious scruple. My father was one Of
those who knew its taste, and 50 now and
then we used to treat ourselves to beef.
But where did we cat it? We did not eat
it inside Of the house. we cooked it ard
ate it in the open air, and in cooking and
in eating we did not use the ordinary uten-
sis, but used the special ones kept for the
purpose. Why all these things? Because
beef was unclcan, and we did not like to
spread its unccanlincss into our house
wherein the god 5 shelf is kept, and into
our ordinary utensils, which might be
used in making offerings to the gods. The
day when we ate beef my father did not
offer lights to the gods nor say evening
prayers to them, as he did usually, for nc
knew he was uncloan and could not ap-
proach the gods. -

remember is that accuracy is the turning
point between n clumsy and a perfect
gown. The draped collar is the faVorte at

used for the outside crushed or shirred
over the outside a small rusette may fin

At the present moment the sleeve is the
distinguishing point of the costume, and
it is enormous. 1t requires q yards of
"a inch goods to make a pair of gigot
sleeves, and even then the corners often
have to be picccd, but that does not show
in the folds. The lining to a gigot sleeve
is exactly like that TO a loose coat sleeve.
The outside is to be gathered around the
top until it is reduced to the size of the
lining, and then the edges are overcast at
the top and the rest pasted as usual, and
the seam taken up, and the wrist faced
and pressed. The diagram given here
shows an ordinary gigot sleeve. From
shoulder to wrist in the highest part it
measures 80 inches and in width 3S. If it
has to be piecod, the proper place to piece
1t is the undcrarm part marked with a
line of y marks If mousquctaire is de-
sired, the shape of the upper part is the
same but the lower is cut two inches wild
er and six longer, and these gathered and
tackled along bring heavy wrinkles all the
way down. If the gigot sleeve has the up
per portion extending up ten inches from
the 90 marks and laid in fiat plating,
either knife or double box, covering the
shoulder seam and reaching to the collar,
while the rest of the sleeve is scwcd in the
usual style, it will be quite the newest
thing This is very dressy with the blouse
waists now so fashionable and gives the
Garibaldi effect.
Balloon putfs are much liked for homo
wear and they are made by gathering n
full piece of material to a coat sleeve lin
ing, which has the lower portion mado of
the same or n contrasting color. The vari-
alton in sleeves, however, are all based
| upon the coat sleeve foundation and are so
| largely matter of personal taste that it is
not necessary to enlarge upon them. A
few general remarks may be made, how
ever. The sleeves for dress occasions may
| be of a number of tulle or chiffon ruflles
| over foundation in coat form. The
! light silks are made in puffs four times the
length Of the upper arm and four times
the width of the sleeve lining All this
fullness is then draped up in rich folds,
enough to bring it into partially reasona-
BILE Dimensions. 1t requires nine yards OF
"a inch silk for these puffs and one yard
for the forearm pieces.

CHARGES submitted against R. D.

they are true, Mr.. Whitehead should
be unceremoniously removed from his

Anent the Census.

Secretary of State Henry Casson has
written the following letter to the cen
sus enumerators. 1t has points of es-
pecial good to others interested and
hence is reproduced:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, }
MADISON, Wis, June II, '95.
To Census E1a9tBleTGtOrS:
desire most especially to call your
attention to the urgent necessity of the
utmost thoroughness in the collecting
of all dairy statistics. To this end a
thorough enumeration of the number of
COWS over two years of age should be
taken in each township, village and
city, in order thai the full milk produc-
ton of the state may be computed.
Great care should be taken also in
computing tue number of pounds of
butter produced on the farms. Wher-
ever the farmer is without specific rec
ord on this point, if the average num-
Der of COWS kept for the year is known
the amount of butter produced may be
reckoned at $50 pounds per COW, and in
this way basis of calculation OBJ
tanned. The great Importance of the
dairy interest in Wisconsin, and the ne
cessity of full and intelligent showing
of the same will, am sure, be fully APP
preoiated by every census taker.

Aid. ZanS EXn1ainS.

EDITOR NEWS: Aid. Zens is going
to make himself ridiculous again by
rushing into print, this time to tell Mr..
Culley something about his alleged
child's play.
Now about sewers. The work let out
by contract in this city is somehow
never done as it should be. Take for
example the lately put down Park ave-
nue. sewer, and a few of the others.
Look at the Main street bridge abut-
ment; every time the bridge has to be
opened the bridge tender has to chop
off few feet. These jobs we're done by
contractors. How are these for boys
play? Why can't our city engineer do
these jobsg What are we paying him
for, just to lay around and when there
is work to do get someone else to do it
for him? Is that boys play?
Then the contractor comes here
to make money out Of the job.
Why can't the city save this profitg The
city can't get money, ehe Well, ask any
Kenosha bank whether the city can
have 5000 at 6 per cent. Do you think
the contractor advances his cash and
time at 6 per- cent?
just compare the Park street sewer
job done by the city, by home labor and
day work, with the Park avenue sewer.
There is not a thousandth part of the
kicking on that that there is on The
Park avenue sewer.

THE BELL COMPANY AHEAD.
Uncle sam Must Now Keep Up the Fight
on the Monopoly.

The victory achieved by the Bell
Telephone company in the recent de-
cision in the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals at Boston in the Berliner
patent case is not to go unquestioned.
The announcement was made Thurs
day on the best authority that the
United States government, which be-
gan the suit to invalidate the patent,
would seek to have a final adjudication
made by the United States Supreme
Court. Judge Taylor and Coston
Brown, attorneys of the government,
are now making the necessary prepara-
tons. They are in constant commune
cation with the attorney general and
acting on his advice, which, so it is
stated, is in the line of having the gov
ernment's position, thag the patent was
Wrongfu1ly issued, sustained.
