1T OFFENDs CHILDREN.
They Have an Instructive Repuision For
Decollete Gowns.


Decollete Gowns.
1t Is rather curious fact that most chit
dren show an instructive repulsion at the
sight of decollete gown. The feeling is
probably rooted In conventional notions,
bu' for all that IL Is sincere and apparent
ly spontaneous. A youpgster upon seeing
his mother In evening dress-it so happen
cd for the first time--exclaimed, "Oh,
mamma, you're not going In your bares
like thatl" Another small boy, who had
always seen his sister in the high necked
frooks that all young girls wear until tho
momentous epoch of coming out" de-
clared himself much shocked. "Yes, she
looks very nice," no said, "but don o like
her gown. / think it's horrid TO have her
arms in her neck hole like that
II shall never forget an experience
once had In visiting a country house" said
q woman. 1T was summer time, and
warm, and when dressed for dinner the
evening after my arrival put on black
gown that completely covered my neck
and shoulders, but which was cut out
square In front. Being black, of course,
the little bit of throat that was exposed
stood out In bold relief, but of course I
thought nothing of 1t. 1t so happened, how
ever that all the other women had donned
high neckcd gowns, but Thought nothing
OF that either, as my frook, square cut
neck and al, was extremely inconspicuous.
Upon seating myself at the table, though,
soon became aware that the small boy Of
the household had fixed his eyes upon me
most ominously. All through tho meal he
kept staring at me- until / really felt not
only uncomfortable, but alarmed, as long
and painful experience with small boys
assured mo that before long he would bo
sure to say something dreadful. Sure
enough, just as the dessert was being
served he spoke. Mamma, he began, and
as he had been wholly silent all the time
previous OF course everybody stopped talk
ing and turned to look at him. Yes, dear.
est answered the fond mother. Where
upon that awful youngstor lifted his fore
finger, and pointing straight at me de.
mandod, why doesn't she shut that upi''

in Pomeroy's office, where the mail lay

probable amount the latter contained

the loser and sometimes the office. Lat
terly the crowd came 10 gauge the amount
of the pile with such accuracy that the
loss either way was only the matter OF a
few dollars, save when big campaign
subscription with several hundred names
would come in a single letter backed up

fitted up IN sumptuous style on the top

Pomeroy was quite the largest man IN

case Of "tell them the same old story"
Tom Brady, the well-known Brown
pitcher, was on the players bench at
Adelaide Park yesterday afternoon.
Wonder IL the management OF the Grays
are getting line on the popular young
collegian.

of Ienney than does the baseball public.

III Brown defeats Harvard tomorrow
afternoon in the last game of the series,
the Providence boys can lay claim TO the
intercollegiate championship with as
much right and justice as can any other
college in America. OF course the very
uncertain word "if' stands out as promi-
nently as ever in every prognostication,
but when the records OF the two teams
are carefully gone over IL can readily be
seen that Brown ranks far above the
Crimson players on the diamond this
season. They have only met with two
defeats in.l6 games, one at the hands OF
Holy Cross and the other by Harvard.
Still the careful student of the game
does not lay too much stress upon the
victory of Harvard, especially when ii is
taken into consideration that IL was the
teams of day, five errors being made.
Then again. Summersgill and Mellor
pitched. "Summie" was practically on
the sick list owing To bad arm and was
not as effective as usual. Paine, however,
the Harvard twirler, Is puzzler, and If he
is placed in the box tomorrow the prob
abilities are that the game will be as in
teresting and exciting as any seen on the
field this year. Brady will probably pitch
Tor Brown.

this Is not practical, then eight-slded

may be made of either wood, stone or
cement. Wood has heretofore given
the best satisfaction, owing to the en-
silage spelling around the walls OF
stone silos. Still, the cement sllos that
are being built now appear to be giving
good satisfaction, and have the advant-
age Of being built for all time to come
as t..ey will never rot. A WOOD sllo

while stone or cement silo Will cost

What Crop to Put in Silo.-Any green
crop can be put in silo with good re-
suits. but the chief ones are corn
and clover. There is no crop as sure
as corn. No crop will give as large
amount of feed and withal as cheap'y
raised as the corn crop. 1t Is estimated
nv expcrimcntalists that from % to 81
nor cent of value Of the corn plant IS
saved in silo over the ordinary way OF
curing in the field.
Glover, while not quite so sure crop
in some sections, viii give large yield
of choice fodder which can be cured IN
the silo without reference to the state
Of the weather. The loss to the country
through clover being ruined by unfa-
yora bic weather is enormous. the sec
Ond crop can also be easily taken care
of in this way at a time OF year when
# is almost impossible to cure it in the
field In addition to this, clover helps
10 form a balanced ration. furnishing a
large amount Of the expensive albu-
mipoids without having to purchase so
much of the costly foods as oil meal
cottonsoed meal, bran. peas, etc.
We are also all aware of the great
service clover is in acting as sub
soiler and as a soil CnriCher, by its abb
sorption through the roots OF nitrogen
from the air.

Horse Meat for Export.

A good deal Of attention is being
called to the possibility Of exporting
horse meat to hose countries that use
It as a staple article Of diet. Ameri-
cans generally think with horror Of
eating this kind Of GOOD, but we must
remember that other nations have GUS
toms differing from ourselves. and that
if they like horse meat and are able
and willing to pay for it, there is no
reason why it should not be furnished.
The first attempt to send this kind
of product TO the countries across the
sea has not resulted favOrabIy. 1t has
been sent out canned, and this gave the
Europeans a chance to cry fraud and
"unhcalthful." Besides, it has made
