Feathers are lavishly used in hair
dressing; also stiff bows of lace en-
broidered with iridescent beads or
spangles.
The divided pompadour is considered
a very becoming style, and, with the
soft rolls of waved hair on either SIDE,

There is a steady demand for hosiery
with black ankles and feet and colored
tops. The hose arc for the most part
ribbed. and some of them have open

FARM AND GARDEN.
EATIONS FOR SHEEP.
Corn and Oats In Equal Parts Ii Stand
ard Winter Feed.

Corn and oats in equal parts makes
one Of the very best grain rat.ons for
sheep Corn alone is too heating and
fattenirg. Moreover, il sheep are fed
exclusively on corn for any consider
eble length Of time they lose then
wool.
1t costs just so much to keep sheep
of certain weight right. But il, with
good care in selecting and breeding
and with good feeding, the sheep can
be made TO give eight or nine pounds
of wool instead Of four or five the extra
weight of wool will he that much addi'
tional profit. When il barely pays ia
keep sheep that shears only four or
five pounds, one that shears seven or
eight VIII give good per cent. on the
rooney invested. In addition in nearly
all cases the heavier fleece will be OF
better quality.
While 1t is always best to feed with
as little waste as possible, il is rarely
good economy to compel the sheep 10
eat up the hay in their racks as clean ms
with cattle and horses, unless II is un-
usually fine. Still. care must be taken
not To feed too much. as sheep are in
c.ined to waste their feed if overfed'
Hut considerable waste can be avoided

lie wide enough apart 10 allow the sheep
to put their heads entirely in the racks

only allow them TO insert their noses

portant that they be made slanting, Sc
that the hay will gradually sink dowr
and always be within reach OF thu

Everu day that the weather will per

the morning to get fresh air and water
At the same time their quarters can b.

Abusing a Duke.

The Duke Of Norfolk is exceeding
ly fond of relating the following
tale: He entertained an excursion
party from London, some 1900
strong, at Arundel and presided
over the dinner. Before dinner an
amusing incident occurred. Warn
ings to keep off the grass were much
in evidence and were much obeyed.
One person, in a soft felt hat and
REFER jacket, was observed crossing
the sward.
"Come off the grass!' said a wom-
an sharply. {" 'Tis the likes of you
that gets poor people a bad name.
Cam you see it's forbidden?"
The person went on, smiling. But
the woman's surprise was laughable
to see when she found at the dinner
she had been abusing the duke him

The receipts from the inaugural ball

privileges paid all the expenses of the
Inauguration ceremonies and left a
surplus exceeding $4,000, which will be
distributed among the charitable insti-

the people of Washington and the
Inauguration visitors willingly footed
all the bills for the privilege of partici-
pating in the ceremonies. This is all
the answer needed to the foolish demo
cratic charges of extravaganza expendi-
