Disconnected Women.

Disseminated women are always ego
lists. They view everything with re-
gard to themselves, and have therefore
the defective sympathies that belong to
low organizations. They never win
confidence, for their discomfort breeds
distrust and doubt, and, however clever
they may naturally be, an obtrusive
self, with its train of likings and dis
likings, obscures their judgment and
they take false views of people and
things. For this reason it is almost 4
hopeless effort to show them how little
people generally care about their griey-
ances, for they have thought. about
themselves SO long and so much that
they cannot conceive of any other sub
ject interesting the rest of the world

ASSERTING HER DIGNITY.
The stslwart Conduct Of Courageous
Young Womau.

The stalwart Conduct Of . Courageous
E.,5u. Young Woman. f..
It did not take place in the city of
Washington, because no man in Wash
ington leaves lady alone while he goes
out between the acts at a theater-un-
less it be his wife, and, of course, that
doesn't count.
But it did occur, and the site of it's
occurrence is not west of the Ale
ghanies, where, according to some east
ern thinkers, all the peculiar occur
reEces occur. 49,
The man in the case was perhaps 80,
the girl %, and the theater was one in
which the melodrama has it's home.
The girl was pretty and there was that
kind Of jaw hedging the lower part
of her rosy cheeks that ought to have
been a hint to the young man. The
young man was very fair sample of
the average chap who makes $1,000 to
81 500 year.
Between them and the aisle sat a big
man of 50 with his wife and two daugh-
tiers, and the big man had voice bigger
than he was. When the curtain went
down on the first act there was slight
scrap between the couple, which ended
in the young man going out between
the first and second acts, because the
wait was short and he hadn't time to
argue. The girls cheeks we're redder
than before when the curtain went up,
and the set of her jaw was firmer.
At the next fall of the curtain there
was slight scrap again, which ended
this time in the young man dragging
himself over four people and leaving
the girl to sit alone until he was ready
to come back to her.
Two minutes later the girl dragged
herself after him, over the same four
people, but she stopped in the aisle long
enough to say something to the big man
with the two daughters. Then she dis
appeared.
It was a long wait, and just as the
curtain started up the young man hur'
ried down the aisle, and was about tc
drag himself over four people when the
big man called his attention to the
vacancy which had occurred during his
absence.
The young mans jaw dropped, and he
actually grew red in the face.
The big man handed him ring with
bright little diamond glistening in it.
''She gave me that and told me to give
it to you," he said, with a menace in his
tone, as he looked over at his own girls
land she said if you ever came to he1
house again or spoke to her her father
would thrash you as you deserved"
The young man was paralyzed.
"And I want to say" added the big
party, "that if the old man amt able te
do it, he can call on me-"
Then he let the young man 60, ane
the way he went was caution to a fly
ing machine.

LAUNDERING WHITE SHIRTS.

A Few Points About q Somewhat Difficult
Undertaking.
To be able to launder a white shirt
properly is an accomplishment of which
any woman may be proud. If you have
had your patience tried by finding the
linen dingy and the collars and cuffs
limp when they return from the washer
woman's try the following plan of wash
ing and ironing them. and am sure you
will be satisfied with the result. The
washing is just as important as the
ironing, for unless the linen is clear
and white the most careful polishing
will not hide the defect. Soft water
should be used if you can obtain it.
Wash through one water, using plenty
of ivory soap to get it clean, boil a
few minutes in good suds, then rinse
until every trace of soap is removed,
having little bluing in the last water.
When dry, prepare a cold starch by
dissolving two tablespoonfrls of starch
and level teaspoonful Of borax in ~
cupfuls of cold water. The amount
of starch required varies little, as an
old shirt requires more than a new
one. Wet the bosom ana cuffs in hot
water, wiring dry, then dip them IN
the cold starch, moving them about
until every thread of the linen is sat
urated with it. Wiring again and roll
up half an hour before ironing. This
is better than the old method of cook
ing the starch and is less work.
Iron the body and sleeves of the shirt
first, then the cuffs and last the bosom.
A board the size and shape of the shirt
bosom covered with three or four thick
nesses of flannel, then with clean
white cloth, is very convenient in this
stage of the work. Slip this inside the
shirt, stretch the bosom smoothly upon
it, and rub with damp cloth. Then
iron until perfectly dry. The polish
is given by pressure and repeated mo-
ton with heavy iron.-Boston Budget.

NEW WESTERN CROP.

Authentic Information Concerning thu
Value OF Kahr Corn.
Wheat and corn may not be grown
after this in Kansas" The words arc
reported to have been uttered by Il
Kansas minister, who praises the meal
of the comparatively new cereal, Kafir
corn, as more nutritious than wheat
-four and of unsurpassed flavor"
According to the best information OBJ
tanned by the Kansas department OF
agriculture, the Kansas agricultural
college and the United States depart
1nent of agriculture, these claims can.
not be sustained. Kafir corn, an
Egyptian millet, is most useful plant,
but it is never likely to supersede either
wheat or Indian corn.
The plant is a sorghum. There are
several varieties; the best is known as
the red Kafir corn.
AS a crop it has these striking advan-
tages: the yield is larger, by from 20 to
50 per cent, than Indian corn; it will
grow and yield crop-not a large one
on very poor soil; it is injured much
less than Indian corn by drought, and
even when withered by the hot, dry
winds of the prairies, it will recover un-
der moisture.
1t forms an excellent food for cattle
and pigs. All the experiments, of which
many have been made by scientific
agriculturists, show that it is inferior
in fattening power to either wheat or
corn. Nevertheless, as a surer and
Ia, ger crop than corn, it promises most
important results for regions like Kan
sas and Nebraska, where scorching
winds frequently wither the corn and
destroy the crop.
AS food for man, it is nourishing,
wholesome and palatable. But the lat
est conclusions of the national depart
ment of agriculture, communicated to
US. are that its use will probably be
somewhat like that of buckwheat-it
will form an occasional rather than a
staple article of diet. In nourishing
power it stands at ~, where bolted corn
meal stands at 81, wheat -four at As, and
oatmeal at 62.
Heretofore it has been difficult to
grind Kafir corn fine enough for use as
human food. It is said that this diff
Guilty has been overcome lately. If So,
there will soon be an opportunity to test
it's food value on an extensive SCALE

FARM AND GARDEN.
RATioNs FOR SHEEP.

Corn ana Oats In Equal Parts II . Stand.
- ard Winter Feed.
Corn and oats in equal parts makes
one OF the very best grain rations for
sheep. Germ alone is too heating and
fattening. Moreover, if sheep are fed
exclusively on corn for any consider
able length Of time they lose their
wool.
1t costs just so much to keep a sheep
OF certain weight right. But if, 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 be that much addi-
tional profit. When it barely pays to
keep a sheep that shears only four or
five pounds, one that shears seven or
eight will give a good per cent. on the
money invested. In addition in nearly
all cases the heavier fleece will be of a
better quality.
While it is always best to feed with
as little waste as possible, it is rarely
good economy to compel the sheep to
eat up the hay in their racks as clean as
with cattle and horses, unless it 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.
But considerable waste can be avoided
by having good racks. The Stats should
lie wide enough apart to allow the sheep
to put their heads entirely in the racks
and eat or they should be so close as to
only allow them to insert their noses
If made in this way, however, it is i'm
portant that they be made slanting, so
that the hay will gradually sink down
and always be within reach of the
sheep.
Every day that the weather will per-
NIT the sheep should be turned out in
the morning to get fresh air and water.
At the same time their quarters can be
we'll aired. Sheep do not bear close con-
flnement we'll. Whenever it is possible
the doors of their quarters should be
left open during the day so that they
can run in and out, as suits them. With
the breeding ewes, especially, care
should be taken to have the doors to
their quarters wide, SO as to lessen the
risk of injury in their running in and
out. It will still further lessen the risk
of injury if the doors are hung to slide
open rather than to open and shut with
common hinges.
In extremely cold weather more corn
may be given than when it is milder,
but do not make it an exclusive ration
at any time. Give oats, barley, mill
feed, and other materials to make up a
good variety. Sliced turnips with
wheat bran sprinkled over them makes
good feed for sheep, especially when
grain is given at other meals. The con-
dition of the sheep is the best criterion
rs to what the quantity of the ration
should be. One of the most economical
rations is unthreshed oats, run through
q dampener sufficiently to make the
bran stick to the straw. Give them all
that they will eat up clean.-St. Louis

Keep the Hens Scratching.

The great secret of securing eggs is
really no secret, for every experienced
person knows that everything depends
upon the conditions. It is not always
the breed or the feed that makes the
hen lay. The main point is not to make
a laying fat hen. Ifyou have hens for
market that are to be fatted, reno se
your laying hens. Keep the market
hens confined closely, but keep your
laying hens at work. The secret (if it is
secretly of making hens lay is to have
them always busy at scratching. 1t is
something they should be compelled to
do from the time they come off the
roost in the morning until they go on
again at night. The laying hen is a
scratching hen. The idle, lazy hen never
lays. Do not forget the fact.-Farmer's
Voice. XIII. Luz III
