Deft Fingers May Construct Many Charm
ing Additions to the Toilet.
To the woman who has little to spend
on her wardrobe the present fashions
are a boon, for if she has good taste
and possesses the art of putting it on
her clothes she can make her appear
ance as attractive as hat of her richer
sister.
, A lace yoke, a vest of chiffon, some
knots of ribbon. what wonders can
they not accomplish? With deft fingers
all the pretty trifes that are displayed
in such profusion in the shops may be
made at home with less than half the
outlay. With the pattern of a we'll
fitting yoke at hand a model in lace is
easily cut, and then the lace or
chiffon rufie which, made of the de-
sired width, is put on full all around.
A band of lace forms the collar and
over this is worn the velvet, silk or
chiffon adjustable collar, which also is
made at home.
A heliotrope gown of two years'date
has been made as good as new, and
much prettier than ever, by the addi-
ton of a yoke. collar and epaulettes
of heliotrope velvet, and a band of stiff
lining in the skirt and a fold of bias
velvet on the edge. A girl who pos
sessed a pretty pink silk skirt made a
low bodice for herself by covering a
white underwaist which was a perfect
fit, with accordion-plated rose-pink
chiffon. Several frills of pink chiffon
trimmed it around the shoulders and
the sleeves consisted of full puffs of
the chiffon with a bow Of black velvet
above them. A wide pink satin sash
fastened in a point in front with a
paste bucket, and tied behind, finished
the pretty bodice.
Loose pieces of accordion-plaited
chiffon or silk on which narrow white
lace insertion is sewn in stripes, make
pretty vests, especially when worn
with a belt and collar of velvet or rib
bon to match. Point de Genes is a very
pretty lace for vests, while the most
suitable for Jokes is guipure or point
de Venice. ~Remodeling and freshen-
ing up dresses needs some little prac-
tice and skill, and it saves many a dol
lar to be able to do this at home.-Chi-

rancher. and only a few feet from the
door of the cabin, but l must be get
tin back"
Yer hain't goin' to do no sech thing,
Sine. Git right off, l say" insisted
old Sandhill.
Il can't, Mr.. HYDE" stammered ST.
mon, blushing rs red as 4 Kansas sun
set, and bowling nervously to the six
buxom daughters of Sandhill, who,
hearing voices outside, had rushed to
the door &c learn who had arrived. So
great was the shock to Simon, when he
behold those six black-eyed, rosy
checked creatures gazing at him, that
he really felt faint. His backbone was
as limp as a piece of wet cheese-cloth.
Several times before he had met
Sandhill's six girls, and at three or
four 'gum-chaws' on Tar creek that
winter he had actually had the courage
to play with one of them. In fact,
that one was the certain maiden Simon
had thought of when he read about the
two valentines for five cents. A cow
boy friend was responsible for Initial
ing the diffident youth into the
mysteries of those frontier play
parties, and although the dark orbs of
Alzony Hyde had almost unhinged his
nervous system, he had somehow man.
aged to play several games with her.
He had not seen Alzony since the
New Years party at Thad Miller's, and
O the sight of her in all her strong
beauty set wild emotions capering in
his breast, and he resolved to fly as
speedily as he could tear himself away
from Old Sandhill. Then he suddenly
rendered that his employers had COM
missioncd him to call that very day at
Ranchcr Hyde's. Despite the fact that
it was agony to talk business with
those six girls standing in tho doorway,
Simon made a heroic effort and STAN
mered out:
Il can't get off to-day, but wanted
to see you on a little business"
"All right, Sine. Wot kin l do fur
yer?!" encouraged Old Sandhill.
Have you any hides?" asked Simon,
very red in the face, Il want what you
have if you a spare EN-"
A peculiar twinkle came into the old
rancher's eyes, and raising his lusty
voice, he called:
"Sary Lib, KEN hyer."
"Wot yer want?' demanded a feshy.

spouse.
WAL, l low we hev," she returned,
1odding pleasantly to the easeless
Simon, her smile broadening as she
scented one of Sandhill's characteristic
jokes.
WAL, Slime, yer hear wot Sary Lib
hev ter say, so as fur as I'm consumed yer
kin hev every hide I've got eff yer want
EN-" was Sandhill's answer, winking
facetiously at his better half.
How many have you?" asked the
hide buyer, growing more and more
uneasy under the quizzical treatment
of the old rancher.
"Six, all mighty well KEEP" with an
expansive grin.

swered Simon, fdgeti 1g ~nervously with
his bride rein. Il got to be gettin'

"All right, Sime," and pointing to

tinued: Thar, Slime, is my Ilydes, an

The face of the timid hide buyer was
painful to behold. He tried to urge
his broncho away but he was power
less to speak or move. The girls, TN
able longer to repress their risibilities,
Joined their parents in laughter.

on, choking back another roar of mirth,

THE BsRTILLoN SYSTEM.
II Saved an Innocent Man From Seyers
Years imprisonment.

H saved an Innocent Man From Several
Years imprisonment
When Sir Richard Webster went with
Sir Charles Russell las ne then was) to
see NJ. Bertiilon's system of identify
ing criminals, in operation in Paris, the
great Importance of the system to Sir
Richards mind, as he informed the
home secretary's committee, was its
possession of many remarkable safe
guards against the confusion OF the
innocent with the guilty. The English
modification of the Bertillon system
has only just been adopted, and
already a curious illustration of Sir
view has come to our knowl-
edge. The first fruits of the En-
glish anthropometrical methods have
been the release of an innocent man.
Some time back a Windsor jeweler was
victimized under particularly daring
circumstances. A man wearing the
Elton cap and gown, and protesting to
be a master from the college, called to
select a watch for presentation on be-
half of his colleagues to some func-
tionary of the college. He inspected
NNS SeNShs DNb "a sec hOlLlluR BOOu
enough. More valuable watches were
procured by the jeweler. and this
pseudo customer decided to take three
back to the college in order that his
colleagues might participate in the Sc
lection.
The tradesman not unnaturally de-
cided to accompany his gold watches
to the college, and that was his I'M
doing, for the Eton boys, seeing the
dread mo~rtar-board upon the head of
the bridesmaids visitor, saluted it, and
unconsciously lent to the tradesman's
mind that corroborative detail which
was necessary to give artistic
verisimilitude to the prospective pur-
chaser's otherwise bald and uncOnvinc-
ing narrative. Thrown off his guard.
the unhappy jeweler arrived at the
college, allowed the stranger and the
watches to get out of his sight upon
some plausible pretext. The swindle
was a success, and the thief got clear.
But in the fullness of time a man was
arrested, was identified as the thief,
was convicted at the Berks assizes
n was sent to penal servitude. He
protested his innocence and declared
that he was in a French Jail
at the time of the robbery.
Bertillonage then came into the
English air, and the man was met
with the retort that if he had been in a
French prison his measurements would
have been left behind to prove his as.
sertion. The prisoner agreed to hat
proposition. He was then measured in
Reading Jail, the measurements at
tached to the name under which he
was convicted in France were secured.
and a comparison of the two sets of
measurements proved incontrovertibly
hat they related to one and the same
person, and that therefore he actually
was in prison in France at the time the
Windsor jeweler was being swindled.
The home secretary at once ordered
his release, and a few days ago there
emerged into freedom a man who, but
for this English adoption of a%nthropo-
metrical methods. might have remained
for years in undeserved confinement
an suspicious baptism of the new means
of identifying criminals, and, by impli-
cation. of safeguarding the innocent

AFTER INFANTS ARE WEANED
Articles of Food That Are Best Suited t.
Their Needs.

Articles of Food That Are Best Suited te
Their Needs.
The feeding of an infant after it has
been weaned involves SO much care
and anxiety that many mothers are
willing to postpone the matter until
the health of the child is compromised
and the many other duties of the
mother interfered with.
The time of weaving obviously de-
ponds largely upon the individual
strength of both mother and child. If
both are well, physiological changes
make it possible, and even beneficial,
for the child to begin to leave the
breast at the end of ten months, and to
give it entirely up at the end of a
veal. Of course the transition should
be gradual except when one of
the numerous circumstances intervene
which compel an abrupt discontinuance
In determining the amount and con-
sistency of the food to be supplied dur
ing the transition period we must take
into consideration the digestive powers
of the child. The milk of Jersey cows
is to be preferred, since it is richer in
fats. 1t is necessary to dilute milk
from a third to a half with water to
bring it more nearly into correspond.
ence with infantile digestive abilities,
and ordinary milk suffers ty such a
dilution a marked diminution in the
amount of fats.
The slight acidity of cows milk may
be disregarded in healthy babies of six
months or over, although lime-water
should be added at any earlier period.
In warm weather all milk should be
heated to almost one hundred and sew
enty degrees, except in the case of very
weak infants, when the subject should
receive the attention of a medical adj
wiser.
After a child is six months old it
may be given small quantities of
starchy products, the best forms being
potatoes, oatmeal and barley. 1t may
be mentioned that oatmeal tends to
prevent constipation, while barley will
check a diarrhoea.
At this period crusts of stale bread
and crackers should be given to the
child to nibble. Eggs diluted with wa
ter and sweetened are very nutritious.
and in fact make a very good substI-
tute for milk.
At the end of a year soft boiled eggs
and broths Of beef, chicken or mutton
may be added to the diet, which from
this time on should be increased in pro-
portion to the strength Of the child.

preferred. The material above the
hoop is of zinc and will last for years,
the lower portion being of galvanized
iron. The estimated cost of such q
large fountain is two dollars. 1t car
also be made for a less sum if the heat
is no object. The water will not over
flow if the fountain is level and the
screw cap air tight. When filing it
insert a cork in the feed hole and
screw down the screw cap; then with
draw the cork. The feed hole is at the
water line. The fountain may be
round or square. The Illustration
shows it cut in half. Water surrounds
the lamp, and, while kept warm, is not
hot. No water is over the top of the
lamp. The scale of the illustration is

Supplies Warm Water Automatically After
1t Is Filled.

The drinking fountain illustrated in
this issue supplies water automatically
after it is filed, and a large number Of
fowls can drink at the same time. The
water is always warm, and the lamp
also warns the poultry house to a GER
tain extent. The wattles of the birds
do not get wet, and as the water is
eight inches above the ground it does
not become filthy. 1t holds about nine
gallons, and will consequently last a
long time, though a smaller fountain
