it at the present day unnavigable-a

Pumping Water by Dog.Power.

found to be economical and In every
way satisfactory. 1t Is built on the
same plan as the exercise runs which
are often attached to squirrel-cages In
short, it is barrel, which rotates as
the dog inside of it runs. The power
thus generated Is communicated to
pump.
For more than year this motor Las
been operated by dog named Gyp
and she really likes the work, and
knows more about pumping water than
half the men in the State. When Gyp
was firs Ut into the machine she
knew just what she had TO do and
started in at great fate--She ran SO
fast that she would have fallen from
exhaustion had she not been lifted out
But as she has grown older at the buS.
ness she has learned better.
But she likes the work as much as
when she started. At first size did not
know when to stop. She pumped and

mere dress lined with very fine soft
flannel, the color of the flannel select
ed just as silk lining would be, is along
the lines of the probable development OF
fashion.
Surprising, then. that cashmere is to
be the material, here in the second pic.
ture is dainty model for employing it.
This dress was in nut-brown cashmere.
Its fitted bodice hooked inyisibly at the
side and was daintily trimmed with
frills of accordeon-pleated brown chif-
fon, these frllls outlining a bolero eff

side seams. The tight sleeves were

be brought out and hardly remem-
bered. 1t will be all ready, too. for
early fall wear and goodness knows
we will all have enough to do III plan
ming summer and ball gowns during
Lent not to be bothered with other sorts
of dresses. SO the dresses that have
been completed in the last fortnight
furnish as good an Indication Of what
is to be fashionable in spring as Is to be
had now.
BY such signs 1t is shown that green
and purple are to be the most stylish
colors Purple was much talked about
two or three years ago, but the women
who were ahead of time and who ven
tured purple gowns then, scared Off the
rest of us, and so for year the idea
hung fire Purple is sudden color
that is, 1t catches the Observers atten-
tion and stuns her, and 1t has trick of
going badly with other women's gowns.

But this season 1t is established so
generally that you must think twice If
you notice that ready made dresses are
being shown good deal in it. Purple
Is SO pronounced a color that If it
should become common you would SIM
ply have to dye your dress or give it
away. Violet Is safer. 1t will head
Itself under purple, yet is sure not to be
common and If need be will quietly as
sert itself as not purple. If, however,
the attraction of new and stylish
color oyercomes any fear you may have
over these objections, you can find no
safer or prettier use of purple than was
afforded by the first dress shown here
with. 1t consisted of foundation of
green and purple shot silk entirely COW
cred with brussels net. This was mere
ly gathered over the skirt and was
there trimmed with pretty arrange
ment of green and purple satin ribbon.
The blouse waist had pleated yoke of
the net and below this the net was
gathered after being trimmed with rib
bon to correspond to the skirt. The
wrinkled sleeves had frills at the
wrists and epaulettes edged with sew
eral rows of ribbon. A black satin Cir
die confined the waist.
Sprung on us rather suddenly is the
proclamation that cashmere Is to be
favorite cloth. Hesitate, therefore, be-
fore you buy. for the dress that is 20
last, basket cloth or n canvas. These
two weaves have been just right for the
past two seasons, and they were found
In lot of new varieties among the new
goods. They may be safe enough for
a standby dress. but it Is noticeable
that they are not as stiff in price as they
were last season. So think little about
cashmere. Certain 1t is that silks are
not going to be used for entire costumes

time. In few weeks, though, she was
taught that all she was expected 10 do
was to keep the tank full, and now she
doesn't do any more.
When Gyp is taken to the motor IN
the morning, she first looks into the
trough to see how much it lacks of be-
ing full. She then works accordingly
and when she thinks she has done
enough, she runs out and takes look
at the trough. If it is full she lies down
and rests, and If there are still few
inches remaining she starts again, anu
does not stop until the trough Is run
ming over.
All the water that Gyp pumps Is fof
cattle to drink. 1t flows directly from
the well into the drinking-trough, SO
that they can get it without trouble
Gyp knows as soon as she sees Danu
of steers making for the trough whap
they are after, and she starts pumping
so as to keep them from emptying IL
Gyp has to work hard. Each stroke
of the pump brings up about quart u
water, and she has to make about sA
jumps to do 1t; but when she feels ike
working nothing stops her, and Tue
pumps make at least ten strokes min'
ute, or perhaps 500 gallons of water u
ten hours.
Gyp is the only dog on the ranch tna'
has ever liked the work. Others nave
been tried, but 1t is always necessary
to lock them In to keep them IRON

ers always had business elsewheie

frlll similar to that which brought O
jacket effect to the bodice, an over
skirt was simulated, velvet bow to
match that of the belt being added, as
shown. One thing is sure: If all the new
cashmere dresses were to be as tasteful
as this one. there would not be the
slightest doubt of its being the next
dress goods to rule the roost. In any
case it will be wise purchase.
A smooth-faced stuff that has already
gained by silks being In measure laid
aside Is broadcloth. Its vogue is not IA
recent as that of cashmere, and conse-
quently Is better established. But ae

Wax Candles Made In Chicago.

Eight tons Of wax candles are pro-
duced almost within the city limits of
Chicago every day, and yet this city
and her adjacent commercial territory
are counted poor market for candles
The wax is the refined residue of paraf-
fin oil, and Is produced ut the refineries
of the Standard Oil Company at Whit
ing, Ind.
In Europe the American wax is fast
displacing the Scotch article produced
from shale, though the English factor
les engaged in the manufacture of wax
candles are of enormous capacity and
have been long established. These fac
tories are now working largely on the
American product, as 1t Is of better
quality and cheaper. A recent cut of a
farthing per pound In the London price
by the Standard OIL Company of the
United States has already amounted
to loss of S250,000 on the 5000 tons
which the Scotchmen sell annually in
England alone
Though the sales of wax candles In
America are increasing enormously.
especially in eastern cities. the domes
tic sales are as nothing to the sales
abroad. In America the public has not
yet learned the luxury of a portable,
odorless light for residences, and sales
westward are therefore comparatively
small. The American supply is practi-
cally unlimited, as the wax is only one
of the many by-products of the crude
paraffin oil produced in enormous guam

vania, Indiana and several other states
