The Katscr and the Telegraph.

Emperor William when he is on his
numerous journeys keeps up a Lively
Geographic communication with Ber-
lin. Before he starts arrangements ale
made with the telegraph authorities Of
the country he proposes to visit to liz
sure uninterrupted connection between
him and Berlin, wherever he may be.
If any place that he may find himself in
is not on telegraph line temporary
wire is strung for his benefit. More
over, care is taken that his messages
shall be relayed as seldom as possible.
and precedence is always given to the
emperor's dispatches. The imperial
yacht. the Hohenzollern, is generally
connected directly with the telegraph
line, so that when the emperor was at
the little town of Oddc, in Norway, re-
Gently. he could send messages directly
to Christiania, whence they were for
warded to Berlin. Telegraph operators
nre always kept aboard the yacht, and
connection with the shore is speedily
established whenever the vessel makes
n harbor, the necessary directions hav-
ing been sent in advance and all ar
rangements made Chicago Tribune.

RATloNS FOR HORSES.

Starvation Always Spells the Shape of
Growing Animal.
We talk about the loss of the horse
business from one cause or another,
but the most mischief comes from the
want of proper food, says an exchange
This means loss to the horse and
greater loss to the farmer. A good per
cent. OF the horses seen on the streets
of any town show insufficient or I'M
balanced food supply. Horses that
have been ill-fed when young are al
most invariably small, long-legged,
aight-carcassed and narrow-chested.
Some of them have great deal of
energy, but all are soon exhausted, I'M
fit for protracted exertion. Grown-up
horses, when much reduced by def
Gent. nourishment, require more food
to put them into working order than
would have kept them for two or three
months in the condition they require
to possess when going into work.
When horse is starved, besides losing
strength and flesh, his bowels get full
of worms AID his skin covered with
lice. Very often he takes mango, and
sometimes he does not moult, or the
hair falls out suddenly and entirely
off, leaving the skin nearly bald for a
long time. The skin of an ill-fed horse
is always rigid, sticking TO the ribs,

think for themselves. They wait and
ask advice of Mrs. Brown or Mrs. Smith,
who are in no way bound to them, eX
cept as obliging neighbors. These
women probably have their own life
problems to occupy them, and it is an
unjust and selfish thing to burden them
down with problems they are not called
on legitimately to solve. One of the
most aggravating ways of the woman
who habitually seeks advice is the GER
tainty with which she holds her oblig-
ing neighbor responsible for every fail
ure that advice given her brings. 1t is
lard to bear ones own blunders, but
doubly hard to bear the blunders which
other people have committed upon ad-
vice which has been honestly given.
The truth is that no one but some
person who is fully cognizant of all the
circumstances which environ an ind
vidual is capable of giving advice on
vital matters.
1t is for this reason that even more
Objectionable parsonage, ''the woman
who is always giving advice" is not to
be tolerated. She is particularly de-
cided in matters judged from the super
fetal external light in which she sees
them, and therefore her judgment is Gl
i,npertinence.-N. Y. Tribune.

carried from the waist downward to the
depth of half a yard or so. Many wom-
en- will be glad of this fashion, for
perfect figure below the waist line is
rare, and it is always the study of the
modiste to rectify this trouble, and the
severe uncompromising skirt that has
so long prevailed gave the wearer no
chance of improving upon too great
slenderness, nor of moderating the re-
dundancy of the figure by judicious
trimming. For the frst-named defect,
circular decorations are carried quite
around the figure about the hips, and
for the second, vertical garniture of I'M
equal length, and slightly radiating as
they descend, greatly modify the effect
of over broad hips.
The checked, brocaded, striped and
barred silk-and-wool materials i'm
ported this season are suitable for any
ordinary occasion, and if >tailor-made
and stylishly trimmed, they form ele-
giant church, visiting and carriage cos
tunes. Some of the mohair Siciliennes
are likewise as handsome in appearance
as rich silk, and the white and cream
patterns for evening, bridesmaids, and
graduation dresses are as elegantly dec
grated and delicately silk lined as white
satin or taffeta silk.
The woman who wishes to look her
best must never blindly follow any and
every new caprice of fashion, but aim
to adapt fashion to her own special
needs. Take, for instance, the very
large ruches and collarettes now so
popular. Very many women purchase
these full frilly accessories, with no
thought beyond selecting the shapes
which please their fancy. They put the
huge airy yokes about their necks, and
in not few cases they have bison-like
appearance. AS rule, the all-round
collarettes are not so becoming to most
figures as the pompadour style, or, bet
ter still, the shape cut in deep points
one on either shoulder, the other two or
three on the front an@bacll respective-
ly. Some of the latest collarcttes are
much elongated not meeting just in
front, but tapering downward, forming
sort of border to the wide box plalt
which still distinguishes the front Of
many fancy waists this season--N. Y.

DOLLARS DAILY DESTROYED.
Women Experts Who Can Detect the
Dcst-Mnde Counterfeits.

Women Experts Who Can Detect the
Dcst-Made Counterfeits.
Every working day in the year Uncle
Sam destroys million dollars; de-
liberately tears up and grinds to pulp
100000 worth of paper money
genuine bank notes and greenbacks.
A million dollars in one, two, five, ten,
twenty, fifty, one-hundred, and one
thousand-dollar notes are daily punched
full of holes, cut into halves and thrown
into u machine that rapidly reduces
them to q mass of mushy substance.
Whenever piece of paper money be-
comes soiled or torn it may be presented
to the United States treasury and re-
deemed. Sooner or later every note
that circulates among the people be-
comes unfit for further service, for it
is bound to become dirty or mutilated
by constant handlinga and the United
States government stands ready to give
| the holder of such note new note in
exchange for it; or, in other words, the
government will redeem it.
The majority of the clerks employed
in this important department of the
government are women, many of whom
are the most expert money counters and
counterfeit detectors in the world. In
fact, only experts can properly perform
the work that is required; for not only
must the soiled and mutilated money
be accurately and rapidly counted, but
all counterfeit notes must be detected
and thrown out. When we consider
that some counterfeiters can so cleverly
initiate genuinemoney that their spuri-
Gus notes will circulate throughout the
country without detection, and are not
discovered until they are finally turned
into the treasury, some idea of the
proficiency of these experts can be
gained, especially when we bear in
mind that these notes are often so worn
that the imprint on them can scarcely
be deciphered. Itnot infrequently hap
pens that these bad notes are detected
simply by the feel of them, which, in
some cases, is really the only way Of
discovering the fraud; for while a
counterfeit may occasionally succeed
IN so perfectly initiating the design Of
note as to mislead even an expert, it
isnext to impossible for him to counter
felt the paper used by the government.

How to Cool Off n Pig.

A great many breeders upon having a
hog or pig oyer-heated, or very warm,
attempt to reduce the temperature by
dashing q bucket of cold water over it.
Very often the result is a dead pig in
very short time. The proper way to
cool off a pig just received in crate
or one that is overheated, is to let it lie
still and commence. pouring water
gradually on its nose, continuing for
the space of two minutes on the nose
and up to the top of the head. Then
when the head is thoroughly cooled
proceed backward gradually, not pour
ing too rapidly at first, till you have
reached the tail. In this way the hog
will be cooled off without danger ofany
bad effects from the oTerheating.-

THOROUGHBRED HOGS.
why They Should Re Given Place on
Every Farm.

why They Should Re Given Place on
Every Farm.
At an Iowa farmers institute in re-
ply to the question: Would you have
"a thoroughbred herd of hogs on every
farm? a prominent hog-raiser said:
If my plan could prevail L would
have nothing but pure bred hogs in
This country. 1 do not mean by that
that every herd should be registered
That would be an expensive useless
ness, but I do mean that all stock
should be traceaiole to recorded ances-
try. Then let the registered herds oe
kept up to the highe.e standard of ex-
cellence to supply male heed for each
of these pork herds. The professional
5reeder would then do a fiourishing
business and the farmer would not be
looking around for the best hog III
Christendom for ten dollars. He would
demand something better than that
and would be reaping che profit which
he justly deserves from feeding his
farm produce to a class of hogs that
would net snug profit and command
a premium on any market, whether
high or low, and at the same time have
a bunch of hogs that he could take
infinite satisfaction in hanging on
the fence" to look at and to show his
neighbor because they always call
forth favorable comment and admira-
ton. which would be an incentive for
something a little better if possible for
the next crop. I say that until the thor
oughbred hog shall be given place on
every farm his true mission is not full
filled, and further that the mission OF
tire professional breeder if he be honest
and unselfsh and sees the whole thor
oughbred scheme in its proper light is
not fulfilled until such is the case. II
every farmer could see this plan from
the proper standpoint and could COM
prehend the advantages accruing from
its consummation three years at most
would accomplish the work. But
though firm in the faith as / am L have
grave doubts if it is ever accomplished
There is too great diversity in human
nature. too wide range of disposition,
TOO many scrub men, TOO much dlher-
ence, to ever expect to see all the farm
ers stand on level in any branch OF
industry. However, the cause is adj
vancing, ard one fact is we'll estab-
lished, that when man once gets q
taste of thoroughbred blood, like the
bulldog, he never lets loose except to
get better hold.

FRUITS CANNED AT HOME.
They Are Cheaper and Better Than
Store Goods.

They Are Cheaper and BETTER Than
Store Goods.
1t is said the American stomach has
universally suffered from the use Of
canned goods. This, of course, applies
only to bought goods which contain
some chemical to preserve them. Peas,
beans and tomatoes are treated to pre-
serve their color, and with the excep-
ton of tomatoes all vegetables, it is
said, contain something to prevent fer
mentation. Fruits, being without
starch, keep more easily than vegeta-
bles, but many are variously treated to
insure their fair appearance as COM
mercial articles. Nearly all fruits, and
some vegetables, are easily canned for
winter use; and if housekeeper once
supplies her OVID Storeroom, bought
goods will never after have IN attrac-
ton for her. 1t IS q mystery why we
use canned tomatoes when we are so
often warned against their injurious
effects, and when home-canned ones
are so much better, altogether whole
some, so easily prepared and keep so
well. Perhaps it is because of an i'm
preston that the bought ones, at nine
or ten cents a can, are cheaper. This
is not the case. The first cost of quart
jars, at retail, is 60 cents a dozen. To
matoes, at the height of their season,
can be bought, even in cities, at rs or
even 20 cents bushel. So even the first
season quart jar would not cost ten
cents, and after that the cost of the
jars can be subtracted, making the cost
of the canned vegetable nominal.-Ella

The Fancy Farmers Mission.

Fancy farmers" or the owners Of
fancy" stock, are frequently ridiculed,
but it is due to their willingness to i'm
prove stock and their persistency in adj
herring to their belief in something bet
Ter than scrubs that the farmer is bene-
flied. The man of capital goes on with
his improvement of stock and may
suffer loss at first, but after awhile he
begins to make profits, the farmers be-
ing lifted up with him, as the farm on
which improved breeds are specialties
becomes a fountain source from which
superior animals are distributed in all
directions.

SEEKING ADVICE.
The Habit of Going to Others for
Counsel.

The Habit of Going to Others foR
Counsel.
There is certain class of women who
habitually seek advice. They often do
this as if they were comforting COM
pliment upon the superior judgment or
knowledge of human affairs possessed
by the person sought. There are GER
tain friends that every one of us pos
sesses who are SO nearly related to us
by ties of friendship or kindred that
they are as deeply interested in our do
ings, our comings and goings as we are
ourselves. 1t is to such persons sensi-
tive, refined woman naturally turns,
and not to q comparative stranger. Yet
the woman who habitually seeks adj
vice seldom goes to such legitimate
source. She comes to person who is q
trife startled and half fattered per-
haps by the request. The woman who
does this may not be aware of it her
self, but she is often sham; she is not
seeking advice, but sympathy. She
usually desires to follow certain
course, and has often become so stub
bornly fixed in her determination that
nothing short of violent upheaval of
all her plans would keep her from it.
She will not follow advice. She wishes
merely to be confirmed in her previous
ly formed opinion. She wishes to gain
sympathy with her plans and strength
of purpose to do as she prefers to do.
There are few persons SO selfish or so
tiresome as those who persistently
throw their burden of whatever nature
upon other people. If there is prob
lem to be solved at school or difficult
example to be done, there are always
number of scholars who wait until GER
tain schoolmates arrive, and then copy
the work from them. The rule is tho
same in mature life. There are GER
tain people habitually too "tired" TO

FASHION NOTES.
Neat and Pretty Features of the New

Neat and Pretty Fe0tures OF the We"
Costumes.
Chine effects are still the keynote of
very many elegant and pretty fancies
in the world of dress, the patterns ap-
pearing among silks, satins, muslins
and silk-and-wool fabrics and instead
of the crisp frou-frouish taffeta silk
dress lining, pretty chine brocades are
much used. Then founce of the same,
cut bias, pinked on both edges, and
placed inside the hem, is imperative.
These fancy silks look well for
change, but the shot patterns, or, bet
ter still, the plain lustrous taffetas in
monochrome, are really the most ele.
giant and refined choice.
Some of the new dress skirts have
vertical or otherwise circular trimming

To Break @ Kicking Horse.

If you have horse thatis.in the habit
of kicking, put him in u narrow stall
that has both sides thickly padded.
Suspend a sack filed with hay or straw
so that it will strike his heels, and let
the horse and sack fight it out. BE
sure to have things arranged SO that
the horse cannot hurt himself. The
sack will be victorious every time, and
in the end the horse will absolutely re-
fuse to kick the sack or anything else.

easily remedied by some such plan as
illustrated below, where an adjustable
