In designing wedding decorations
the gowns of the bridal party are first
considered, for each must set the other
off. A group of bridesmaids can form
a brilliant bnuqnet against the back
ground of green and white decorations,
with gowns of MORE in pale tints of
blue, yellow, pink or green.
At pink and white wedding, the
bridesmaids should be gowned in pink
! with black velvet hats, trimmed with
pink plumes.
A collarette of white taffeta edged
with black lace, plated very full, and
finished in the back with large bow
of rose-colored ribbon is very chic.
An evening waist of tucked MORE
velvet in shades of heliotrope with a
band of ostrich feather trimming
around the neck is charming.
A beautiful house gown may be COM
posed of gray-faced cloth, trimmed
with black velvet Persian ribbon with
a chemisette of blue crepe.
Teagown ofgreen crepon and India
silk, trimmed with black velvet and
white lace looks stylish.
A handsome reception gown of green
cloth and velvet, sleeves of figured
velvet; cloth vest crossed with gold
Soutache, reverS of embroidered white
satin bordered with sable.
A becoming little frock for miss of
mulberry crepon is just the thing for
church, for which all the pretty woods
are in better taste than rustling silks
and snowy velvets.
A cunning little muff is in vogue in
the shape of bag to match hat or
gown, with pocket at top for handker-
chief and purse.
Close fitting Eton jackets of fur with
velvet sleeves are worn with Woolen
skirts.
Fans are much in evidence this win
ter. There are feather ones with
beautiful inlaid mounts in five or six
different sizes.
A magnificent white ostrich one, re-
lieved with little marabout, having
pearl handles embossed with silver, al
most equally handsome is one of nat
ural ostrich plumes with tortoise shell
mounts.
A fresh, charming fashion is the gift
of quaint chest of drawers, called a
''Trousseau Chest" from the mother
to her engaged daughter, soon after the
ring has been given by the finance.
Though many attempts are made to
fashion the frocks of the little ones on
the models used for their mammals
there is vet continual demand from
sensible mothers for the simple mother
hubbard gowns, which are SO easily
made.
Fancy runs riot in the fancy of
shoulder capes and neck trimmings, in
which there is much more variety than
last winter when the usual finish was
some kind of a shoulder collar,
Ribbons continue to be used lavishly
combined with lace and chiffon.
A tan colored hat feed with brown
velvet and trimmed with Persian ribbon
and brown plumes, is becoming with
a costume of cheyiot mixture, in brown
tan and black.
The "Rolf" pattern is the latest de-
sign in a skirt.

THE FIELD AND FARM
PRACTICAL Pointers on Proper
Care of Farm.
WE MUST SUIT THE MARKET
So Says One of Consuls Abroad-p
ventive of Demonstrating
Potatoes to Cows.

One OF our consuls writes that it ia
absurd that American butter should
go to England in very small quantities
and at very moderate prices, while
Denmark is sending England enormous
quantities that bring high prices, and
its only serious competitor is Australia,
whose butter has to traverse the tropics
and make the passage on the Red Sea.
But the people of Denmark have taken
pains to find out what can be sold in
England and other foreign markets,
and they have applied themselves with
great energy and high intelligence to
the task of producing those things.
This has not been the work of the gov
or of the commercial classes
more than it has been the work of the
peasantry themselves-who have shown
an enterprise and business capacity
that put the American farmer to
shame.

DAYLIGHT BANK ROBBERY.

Small San Francisco Institution Held
Up by Masked Men.
San Francisco, Feb. 2O.-The boldest
and cleverest robbery known here for
some time occurred today when three
masked men entered the Market street
bank, held up the cashier and book
keeper at the points of pistols, shut
them in the big vault, raked all the
coin in sight into sack and then van
ished without leaving trace behind.
The Market street bank is small con-
Germ, recently opened in the Spreckles
building on Marekt street, right in the
business section of the city. Cashier
Hopkins and Bookkeeper Hayshorst
were the only persons in the bank at
9:45 this morning, when three masked
men entered. Pointing their pistols at
the head of the bank employees. the rob-
bers ordered them to throw up their
hands. Hayshorst obeyed, but Hop
kins endeavored to get pistol from
drawer. A shot from one of the rob-
bers stopped him, and he threw up his
4hO DuA4Ob uIu AOU Au1O oAO
cashier, but the shot was fired at such
close range that his face was burnt by
the powder. The robbers went behind
the counter and hustled their prisoners
into the vault. They shut, but could
not lock the door. and then raked the
coin in sight from the money trays
into a sack. Then they left the build
ing.
No one saw them go in or out of the
bank, and although an officer arrived
in less than minute after the robbery
had been committed, not trace OF the
thieves could be found.
Policeman Dover, who was the nrst
officer to arrive, made an investiga-
tion of the premises and heard the
statements of the bank officials. He
expresses doubt that any robbery was
committed.
The Market street bank was formerly
the Bank of Kingsbury, was incorpor-
ated in 1891, and it's total resources are
$40, s. G. Little is president of
the bank. He was formerly president
of bank at Lillis, and is proprietor of
Rancho Laguna de Tache, in Fresno
county. The bank officials state to-
night that the robbers got away with
$4,000.

IT SHOOK THE TOWN
Terrible Explosion in a Colo.
RADIO Coal Mine.
OVER FIFTY MEN ARE ENTOMBED
Little Hope That Any of the Miners
Are Yet Alive-Cause OF
the Accident

Newcastle, Colo, Feb. 2O.-An ex.
plosion occurred at the Vulcan mine
at 1870 this morning which was the
most DISASTROUS in the history of this
camp. Tonight dozens of homes in the
little city are desolate, mourning for
some loved one, father, husband, bro.
ther or son, who this morning left
home with not thought Of danger or
the awful death that so surely awaited
them, and are now lying lifeless at the
bottom of the Vulcan stope. All bust.
ness is practically suspended; everyone
is dazed at the awfulness of the sudden
disaster.
No warning was given the peaceful
villagers until sudden report, as from
a hundred cannon, resounded through
out the valley, making the earth trem-
BILE. People rushed out of their homes
and places of business to see what had
happened, and one look toward the
Vulcan mine was sufficient, for dense
cloud of smoke issuing from the mouth
of the stope met the eyes of the gazers
and told the tale of death. A throng of
people were soon at the scene of the
disaster, distance of nearly two miles
from Newcastle. A glance was
enough to dissipate any hope for the
entombed men. The force of the ex-
plosion had caused a cave-in, and the
tunnel and air-courses were filled with
the fallen rock, earth and timbers.
Both fan-hOuses were wrecked, and the
stope and vicinity were so full of de-
hard and dangerous work to begin the
rescue. Nevertheless, willing hands
were soon at work, and five men went
down as far as possible to ascertain the
condition of the stope, and found it
such that it will require much labor to
regain the miners. The gas was so bad
that after the party had gotten 300 feet
they were compelled to recede. 1t is
hardly possible that any of the miners
are still alive, but the starting of the
fans may keep them alive until help
reaches them. The only man who got
plosion was Ed WEIGH, who was near
the mouth of the tunnel and was blown
out, his skull being fractured, arm
broken, face badly cut and burned, and
all the hair burned from his head. He
was breathing when found, but expired
shortly after without showing con-
seriousness.
Forty. eight men were in the mine
when the disaster happened. The
cause of the explosion is not yet known,
but it is supposed that it was caused
by subterranean disturbances.

Starbuck, Wash, Feb. 20.-Some
miscreant made an attempt to wreck
the train on the Pomeroy branch.
Only the vigilance Of the engineer pre-
vented the disaster. The wretch OPEN
ed the switch at Chard, and locked it
with key. Had the train attempted
to go over the switch, it would certain
~ have been ditched. The engine was
stopped within few feet of the switch.

Exercise on high ground may miti-
gate the hog-cholera trouble, by in
creasing the extent of exhalation, 30
relieving the blood in some degree of
the accumulated poisons. Regular
daily exercise in good sized pastures,
or in open grounds, together with
greater variety and more albuminous
quality of feed. preventive treatment
that can exempt swine from the inva-
sion of bacteria. Keep the blood of
the hogs sound by healthy supply Of
oxygen from regular exercise and full
breathing, and bacteria or cholera,
will not affect the hogs nor vex their
owners. And the only sure preventive
of lung fevers in cows, or other cattle,
is regular, moderate exercise in whole
some air, thus cooling the circulation,
while supplying healthy proportion
of oxygenated blood, that will not irri-
tate the lungs, while such quality of
blood certainly forms sound tissue, in
renewing general growth, or in en-
larging size in growing cattle or swine.

Feeding Potatoes.

During recent tour through the
dairy sections of York state, in attend
ance at the dairy meetings, the matter
of feeding potatoes to mich COWS came
up at about all the meetings, in the in
diect way of why does not my milk
cream better, " "Why does not the but
ter come, and what makes it salvy,
aud often grainless," and in one in
stance the creamery had been served
notice by their New York house that
unless there was less feeding of GER
tain food, not to send any more butter.
In every case the trouble was traced to
feeding potatoes to the cow in Excess
sive amounts, often as high as bushel
a day per COW. The low price of po-
tatoes, and their slow sale, made it a
tempting matter to feed them to the
COWS as large part of the ration, and
the large per cent of the raw and i'm
perfectly digested starch had damag-
ing effect upon the milk, the milk be-
ing very vicious, hence difficult for the
cream to rise, and the butter globules
being unable to free themselves from
the milk, either in Dreaming or churn-
ing, carries into the butter the milk
element in too great proportion, and
gives the mass salvy texture. This
is also increased from the fact that the
milk fats are of softer texture when
potatoes are fed, and this only adds to
the difficulty. Where only small
amount of potatoes are fed, four to six !
quarts mixed with the food, there was
little or no injury done, as the succu-
lence of the potato, then in small
amount, was sort of digestant to the
dry food. Where potatoes were
cooked, a much larger amount Of them
could be fed, as the cooked starch was
not in it's effects the same as the raw
material. From all that could be
gathered, it seemed that with meal at
$40 per ton, potatoes might have a
feeding value not to exceed 1895 q

Miscellaneous Notes.
The breakfast food made at the Ia
coma mill out of wheat is growing in
popularity and is taking the place Of
cat meal.
According to official statistics the
importations of lemons into the United
States during the past ten years
amount to $38. 500, $50.
One hardly knows what he will
plant next year, prices are 30 univer-
sally depressed. But fruit and vege-
table growing, under favorable condi-
lions, will likely be favored.
In England and Scotland the farmers
raise large sheep, whole flocks averag-
ing over 800 pounds each, alive. and
when a wether is killed for family use,
that which is not desired Immediately
is corned the same as beef. Small
breeds are not raised in Great Britain,
and the farmers pay no attention to
wool compared with mutton.
In the February bulletin OF the we'll
known Thayer Fruit Farms, it ia
stated that after the land is put into
high cultivation the actual cost OF
bringing an acre of blackberries or
raspberries, well set and with no miss
ing hills, to a good bearing age, 10
| from $125 to $3.50.
It is predicted that within a few
wears all the work of the farm will be
done by electricity. Not in q few
wears. The time may come wheQ cleo
tricity will play considerable part in
farming, but it will take longer than a,
few years. It is true that it may be
utilized for some portion Of the power
used on the farm in the not very dis.
tant future.
