They Watch for sirnr Cattle.

On the big, unfenced ranges OF tho
West cattle from one herd frequently
stray away and join a herd belonging
TO another ranchman, and for mutual
convenience and protection tho cAttlo-
men in the various States have associa-
tions which keep agents at the prin-
cipal cattle markets TO watch for such
strays and see that the result of their
sale is credited to their proper owner,
no matter in what shipment they
reach market. During last year 1904
head Of stray cattle belonging to
ranchmen in the Black Hills Country
were picked out in Chicago and OFT
head in Omaha, and through the asso-
citation their owners received the
money from their sale. The cattle
are identified by their brands. New

PAPER CARPET LINING.

A carpet lining made entirely from
wood and paper pulp is one of the
newest articles to be produced from
that seemingly unfalling source
paper. Carpet Innings made from
MANILA paper, folded in fat rolls,
or otherwise constructed, are COM
mon enough, but the new type OF
lining is quite out of the ordinary.
Anything that is between two layers,
as carpet lining (which is between
the floor and the carpet), must be
porous SO as to allow the dirt that
works through the texture of the car
pet to sift through to the floor. Again,
the lining must be flexible and smooth.
1t must also be moth proof.
These ends are obtained by running
the pulp on the floor to an average
depth of one-quarter inch, which will
furnish good, smooth, elastic founda-
tion for the carpet. The pulp fills
every crack, bad place, depression, and
forms a perfectly-level surface. Ex-
posure to the dir dries the compost
ton in n day or so. The carpet is
laid directly upon this surface, which,
being absolutely smooth and just
elastic enough, makes tire poorer
grades of carpets seem like the softest
and most costly of pile textures.

How happy is the man who can look hack
upon a childhood and home in which
drink had no partl Wherein drunkenness
entered not, but always sobriety, cleanliness
and love. In a home such as this are laid
tho foundations of true manliness. There
are sown in the young mind and heart the
seeds OF honesty and virtue that flower, in
later years, in earnest cndeaver, honor and
success. There the Homecoming of tho faith
er is looked forward to aud watched with
eager delight. There the mother is patient
and cheerful despite the cares that the years
bring. Curses and revilinps and blows have
no place IN this sanctuary of love and peace
Charity reigns there, and God is pleased at
the sight. for it is a heaven in miniature.
But, oh, how desolate is the past TO him
whose early days have been clouded, the
joys of whose childhood and youth have
been shattered and dissipAted by the curse
OF drink; who has shivered at a voice which
should have been the dcarest-loved sound on
earth-the voice Of his father; who has seen
mother cursed aud abused by father
possessed for the time being by the devil
OF drink; whose home, which should have
been place Of rest aud peace, was, instead,
a scene Of disorder and trouble and loath-
ing.
What success, what happiness in after life
eau efface the miserable past, or can Atone
Tor the anguish OF the child who has eXper-
fenced all the bitter grief which liquor
brings.
Children reared in homes Of sobriety have
a blessing to be thankful for, which they
may not appreciate, but which those who
lack this blessing arc well aware Of. So
briefly and religion in the home will do more
for children than all the 9th 7 good things
Of the world. And the child who grows up
amid these surroundings has in him possi-
biiities for good which may not be COM
puted.

A WIDOWS WEDDING.

Etiquette governing the wedding of
q widow has been recently reorganized,
and, temporarily at least, is finding
high vogue among certain great ladies
who are making second matrimonial
ventures. The widows engagement
ring is now a peridot, which in reality
is an Indian chrysolite and q deep
leaf-green in color. The peridot ring
is set about with diamonds; and when
it arrives the lady gives her first en-
gagement ring to her eldest daughter
and her wedding ring to her eldest
son.
One week before the wedding a
stately luncheon is given to the near
est and dearest of the old friends of
the bride-to-be. After the engage
ment's announcement she appears at
no public functions. At the altar her
dress may be of any subdued shade of
satin. To make up for the absence of
veil and orange blossoms, profusions
of white lace trim the skirt and waist
of the bridal gown en- secondes noces.
Even the bonnet is of white lace, and
The bouquet is preferably of white
orchids; and up the aisle the lady
goes, hand in hand with her youngest
child, no matter whether it is a boy
or girl. The little one wears an
elaborate white costume, holds the
brides bouquet and precedes the new.
ly married pair to the church door.
Where there is a large family of chill
dren, and a desire on the widows part
for triAe more display than is usu-
ally accorded on such occasions, all
OF her daughters, in white gowns and
bearing big bouquets, support their
mother at the altar.
An informal little breakfast now
follows the ceremony. Such break
fast is scarcely more than a light,
simple luncheon, served from the
bullet, wound up by wedding cake an6
a toasting posset; but the bride of a
second marriage does not distribute
cake nor her bouquet among hel
friends Her carriage horses do mo-
wear fayors, either, though shoes and
rice can be freely scattered in heI
wake and, 10 the comfort and econ,
omY OF her friends, she does not ex
pect anything elaborate in the way OF
wedding gifts. -Demorest's Magazine.

The Kind Word Society, having for
its object the finding of country
homes for girls and women who are
tired of the life of the city and who
are willing to enter domestic service,
has in the few years of its existence
already placed between 1000 and 5000
girls. These girls are usually unfa-

called upon to perform, having passed
their previous existence in trying to
earn livelihoods as clerks, in sewing,
or in various other occupations that
left them cold, hungry and i'll. They

A "prApuousE" DRINK.

This is n description Of the worst dead
house In New York. In all parts OF tho
city, save tho brownstone and ambitious
business blocks, what are Known as dead
houses abound. A "deadhouse" being
simply place where tho vilest possible
liquor is sold for the smallest sum, the dis

house" on Eighteenth street. between Ave
nuo A and First avenue in the heart OF tho
old Gas House District, deserves the name
and fame.
Unique is the custom that rules there in
behalf of the bcsotted tramp who has the
necessary coin. 1t has succee led in making
this place a Mecca for vagrants aud "bums"
from everywhere in New York, Brooklyn
and New Jersey. They know that in this
low-ceiled room, that was ne one time
stable, they can get for q nickel not on'y the
most potent and fiery OF liquids, but actually
moro of il than anywhere else.
Glasses in this "deadhouse." so far rs tho
flve-cent trade is concerned, are never used.
The grim old proprietor has u far better
scheme than that. Attached to n barrel OF
what he calls by courtesy whisky is short
rubber hose with a mouthpiecc. The tramp
who shuflles in and asks for this liquor frst
pays for it. and is then handed the hose.
Through this he is allowed TO drink ms much
OF the fiery potion rs he can without draw
ing breath. The instant he stops to breathe,
1t is with no uncertain hand that tho ''bar.
keep" jerks the hose from the outcast's lips,
sententiously remarking that IL he wants any
more he will have to put up another nickel.
Long practice has given many OF the "ho-
boes" remarkable power OF suction, and,
with the hose between their lips, they con-
trive to draw in truly enormous quantity
OF this deadly intoxicating poison.
II there are stranger sights in the city than
this paradise OF the tramps, they arc hard TO
find. The "deadhouse" itself, alono and
without Its crowd of greasy, filthy, tatterol
and unkempt patrons OF each night, is worth
a visit. A sign, obs illery," appears on its
outside walls, aud within, on both sides and
at the back, it Is heaped up with barrels and
kegs OF liquor OF every kind. Far back n
rough counter stands, behind which is the
"barkeep," and underneath at the end, the
famous barrel, a draught OF which is the end

signed especially for women and made
in sterling silver, is a combination
purse and glove hook.
Hand painting on satin is shown on
some high priced novelties in dinner
gowns, aud the coloring is beyond
compare gorgeous.
Entire waists of linen batiste gowns
are sometimes appliqued with gold
lace medallions, and the linen cut out
underneath show a lining OF white
satin.
A braid in vegetable fibre and chip
combined is brought out in pottery
greens, pink, blue and cerise, which
looks very stylish for hats in combin.

FATIGUE AND ALCOHOL.

The following significant paragraph is
taken from the Westminster England Re
view;
There Is n common belief that alcohol
gives new strength and energy after fatigue
sets in. The sensation of fatigue is one Of
the safety valves of our machine; TO stifle
the feeling Of fatigue, in order to do more
work, is like closing the safety valve so that
the boiler may be overheated and explosion
result. 1t Is commonly thought that alco-
holic drinks aId digestion, but in reality the
contrary would appear to be the case, for it
has been proven that a meal without alco-
hol is more quickly followed by hunger than
a meal with alcohol. In connection with the
sanitation of armies thousands of expert
ments upon large bodies OF men have been
made, and have led 10 the result that, in
peace or war, in every climate-in heat, cold
or rain-sOldiers are better able 10 endure
the fatigue OF the most eXhausting marches
when they are not allowed any alcohol at
all. That mental eXertions Of all kinds are
better undergone without alcohol is gener-
ally admitted by most people who have made
the trial. 1t appears certain that from sew
enty to eighty per cent. OF crime. eighty to
ninety per cent. OF all poverty. and from ten
TO forty per cent. Of the suicides in most CIV
tlzed countries are to be ascribedto alcohol.

OVEN DOORS OF CRYSTAL.

II has remained for woman to in.
vent and patent glass doors for ovens.
The wonder is that the idea has not
long ago been thought of by some wo-
man who cooks. All cooking instruc-
tors lay the greatest stress en- the care
to be observed in opening an oven
door to watch the progress of cakes
or mullins. Maria Parlon, making
sponge cake, touches the knob with
the most delicte care and lightness,
dreading oven to jar the cake within,
and peeks through the smallest crack
that will afford the necessary glance.
What n relief to walk boldly up to the
oven and through these transparent
doors, which the genius of Michigan
woman has discovered, study at leis-
ure the progress of rising cake dough
or crisping fowl.-New York Adver-

the cover on long, clean table, and
sponge it all over with clear, warm
water containing n little powdered
borax, Just enough borax to soften the
water use no soap; then with a clean
cloth rub it dry; if it looks dull and
does not give satisfaction, then take
another soft cloth and drop on it not
