TIE nIG Hat CRUSADE

The theatre-hat nuisance has been
attacked by no less important per-
son than Mr.. w. ID. Howells in no less
powerful paper than HarpeI's Week
ly. In the number of that Journal for
February LIST, Mr.. Howells says: Con
corning the theatre-hat, am sure that
no woman of real refinement can be
hurt by the most unsDRring denuncia-
ton OF this means of oppression. The
woman who wears the theatre. hat is
oitenest person of rather simple
mind, who thinks that to see her
empty little head crowned with con-
lection of felt, ribbons, and feathers
OF the bigness of n half barrel will be
n consolation to those it keeps from
seeing the play. 1t is possibly,
even probably, the only hat she has
She can not imagine the trembling
OF the poor man who has the seat be
hind the one she is coming to take,
his fluctuations of hope and fear be-
fore she appears, or the despair he
falls into when she actually arrives and
blots out the stage with her hat. She
may be young and pretty, her hat NAV
be picturesque, but he has not paid
two dollars for the privilege of looking
for three hours at the back hair OF n
young and pretty girl in picturesque
hat. He has bought his seat for the
purpose OF seeing the play, and the
person who prevents him from seeing
1t plumbers him and Expresses him.
The woman is often only artificially
young and pretty, with color of hair
and OF cheek that can not be mistaken.
When it comes to two large hats, the
cup perhaps runs over. No agility in
lodging to the right and left will avail
when the vast hats, the painted cheeks,
and gilded hair are tilted together, -
Mr.. Howells speaks strongly, but not
hopefully. He says he does not ex-
pect any early reform of this vice. No
reform can come until the theatre
managers of this country do as is tho
case in Europe, and prohibit women
from entering the higher priced por.
tons of the theatre when wearing hats,

success, as we have lest but a very
slight percentage of our chicks from
sickness or poor feeding. Our plan is
very simple one and quite easy to
carry out. AS soon as the chicks break
their way through the shell we remove
them to n basket that is filed with
flannel and kept at an agreeable tenn
perature by being set behind the kit
chen stove. When we are sure that all
the fertile eggs have Matched we burn
both the nest and shells, and put the
old hen out i'll the chicken yard for a
few minutes for busting and recrea-
ton. The hen and chicks are then
placed in n small house, away from
our matured poultry, and are then
given all the water and common oat-
meal which they care to have. This is
all that Is given them, and improbable
as 1T may seem, we have never lost u
chick from bowel disease.
This manner of feeding might not
suit some, but we can hardly go back
on our past experience and do not hes
itate in recommending it.-New York

A noteworthy instance of the tend
ency of farmers to costly improve
ments and machinery for the purpose
OF saving time that is mostly very
cheap to them is the suggestion to in
troduce the quick harnessing arrange
merits used In fire engine stables in
cities, SO that fifteen minutes might
be saved IN the Harvesting OF the farm
team. The ingenious innovator on
old habits might Justly have added to
this suggestion that in going to the
fields the farm team should gallop at
its swiftest pace, as the fire laddies
train their horses to do, to save an
other fifteen minutes. 1t is n slow
person who must take fifteen minutes
to harness farm team, if the harness
is conveniently hung on pegs so that
all this time need not be wasted in
disentangling the traces and the lines

simply thrown on the floor in mixed
heap to save tho time expended in
hanging 1T in n proper manner.
We have too many time savers now,

Mt stated times to preserve them in
good condition. With allowance for
wear and tear and the short life of
these tools and machines, and the caro-
and housing of them, the whole will
easily come to the total annual outlay
of $500 year.
1t is very questionable if this alleged
model farmer makes so much profit
out of the investment, and If it would
not be q saving of money to him to
work his little farm with the common
tools which would not cost $50. A
simple homemade harrow cultivator,
costing less than So, will do quite as
good and quick work as any of tho

them highly and to increase the sales

may be excellent for their several pur-
poses, yet it is unquestionable that
hundreds of farmers are induced to
buy them when they really have no
use for them, and are unable to afford
the expense. 1t is much the same in
regard to fertilizers and other things
of the farm. OF course, all this greatly
increases expenses, without adding to
the income. New York Times.

TIRED or GnApuArINn rssArs

The senior class of Vassar COLLEGE.
Poughkeepsie, N. y, has petitioned
the college faculty to substitute for
the usual commencement exercises an
address by some well-known educator.
The exercises have consisted here
tofore of the reading of essays by six
or eight graduates chosen from, the
honor list, short address by the
President of the college, and the con-
ferriDg OF the degi ees. The students
maintain that the reading of ESSAYS by
the members of the graduating class is
uninteresting ard of no educational
value. The essays rarely show any
originality. They are little more than
the result of careful reading. They
are seldom of interest to any except
the friends of the graduate.
The students ask that lecture on
some subject of educational interest
be given by member of the college
faculty or board of trustees or bv
somebody else of equal qualifications.
They say that the commencement ex-
ercises would gain In Interest and in
direct educational value by the change.

FEEDING BUTTS OF coRxsrAnKs.

While cornstalks are green COWS will
eat them very close to the butt, and if
fed the butts first they can be made to
eat nearly all of them. But we have
never been able to make COWS do this
IN winter after the stalks have dried
out. There is some nutriment in the
butts, but they are harder to digest
than the richer portions of the stalks
which the cattle eat more greedily. In
times OF scarcity these butts may be
cut up and steamed. Then IA small nd
dltlon of grain meal or wheat bran
VIII make them palatable. In the silo,
OF course, the corn butts go in with
the rest of the stalk, and if cut early
enough this may be no disadvantage.
But wherever the corn comes to ripen-
ing stage most OF its nutrimeut is con
centrated in the part around where
che ear puts forth. The portion near
the ground has become woody and has
little value. Such corn butts are
worth more rs absorbents of LIQUID
mnnuro than for feeding. The nour-
lshment for the stock must be in the
grain or hay fed with them. Boston
