WEARING FAL SE GEMS
Shams Now Freely Tolerated in So

Shams Now Freely Tolerated in so-
ciety.
How much is real and how much is
sham in the respondent display of pre-
sumably precious stones at the opera or
other smart functions is impossible to
tell nowadays, for my lady mixes the
two together with calm audacity that
is development Of late years, the old
theory that a lady must wear nothing
that Is not real being apparently quite
out OF date. The modern adaptation of
this social rule is that if woman has
certain amount of fine jewelry she may
wear as many false ones in addition as
she can without making the fact con-
spicuous. 1t is only in those who have
no real ones that the display of false
gems is vulgar.
A fashionable woman in town, whose
position is unquestionable, wears sew
eral strings of pearls, one of which is
real and the rest shams, and hardly
knows herself which is the genuine
Another woman, who owns a couple of
diamond stars, has presented herself
with several others-the best bril-
liants," whose glittering radiance is
quite undimmed by their juxtaposition
with the real stones. At a birthday
dinner recently the heroine of the oe-
casion wore ruby surrounded by
pearls as brooch. This was greatly
admired. Taking it from the lace
which it fastened, she passed it to one
of her friends. The jewel was handed
from one to another until it had made
the circuit of the table. All the guests
were people of culture, familiar with
gems, and some of them were con-
noisseurs. After the stone had been
unanimously praised theowner fastened
it in its place again, saying quietly: Il
think it is pretty. bought it yester-
day at BIS for two dollars
1t has long been conceded that a
string of Roman pearls may be worn by
young girl without laying her taste
| open to question. It is a new thing,
however, for rich women to bring real
gems and bogus ones together in such
a way as TO deceive the very elect and
it seems pity that the old standards Of
noblesse oblige, affecting the wearing
of jewels and lace, should be lowered.
It is claimed by those who wear false
jewels that no deception is intended,
the owner being quite willing to ac-
knowledge her use of the limitations,
but at all events the general public is
deceived and it may be questioned
whether my lady goes out of her way to
acknowledge what she is wearing.
II do not see the use of wearing real
pearls" said well-known society
woman not long ago. 81 have half a
mind to sell mine and wear limitations
No one would ever know" Then she
fully concluded to take this course and
did take it. Hence she rejoices ia the
income of $4,000 in bonds, wears pearls
still and even her intimate friends do
not suspect the exchange.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

The woman who suffers from weakness

CAR HORSES HARD TO GET.
The Demand Is Now So Small That the
Trade Neglects Them.


The Demand Is Now So Small That the
Trade Neglects Them.
One of the most curious effects of the
general replacing of horses by eleotrici-
ty and cable traction for drawing street
cars is being experienced by one of the
extensive car lines in this city which
still uses horses. One would suppose
that, since the only lines in the whole
country which continue to use horses
now form but very small percentage
of those which used them five years
ago, these lines would have much
wider range of choice and could get
horses of grade superior to the gen.
eral run Of those which used to be
offered to them. Remarkable as it may
seem, this is the exact opposite of the
truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs in direct competition with the
cable lines of the upper west side, and
its managers, who recently purchased
it, determined as soon as they came in
to possession to place upon it superior
lot of horses, and in this way improve
its running until mechanical propulsion
could be introduced. Orders were sent
out to buy the needed horses. Much to
the surprise of the managers, it was
discovered that there were almost no
street Car horses of any kind to be
bought
The explanation of this situation lies
in the fact that since the demand for
street car horses almost ceased the trade
machinery by which they were gathered
has fallen into disuse A few years ago
the street car horses were one of the
most important features of the horse
market. They were animals of stand
ard grade and of almost stable price,
and every part of the country contributed
its quota. The street car horse had to
be big and able and sound of limb and
wind, but it might be Of any age. Few
lasted long enough in the service to
make the question of few years more
or less of any consequence. The Remand
was constant and the price never varied
in New York more than from about
$125 to $3.50 each. Dealers could always
count upon getting this price and get

every horse which would answer the
purpose was a safe investment at lit
tie smaller price, and clean profit of
SO horse was regarded as a fair mar
gin in handling them.
Horses of all sorts. which lacked the
qualities of speed, beauty or youth, but
possessed the other requirements, were
quickly sorted out from the markets Of
the whole country, and every big dealer
was always able to gather droves of car
horses as fast as the companies needed
them. The trolley has superseded the
car horses, and car horses are no longer
quoted as staples in the market The
companies which still use them are
obliged to go out and search the marts
and buy them one by one instead of
simply sending out an order for 100 or
200 or 500 and getting them as readily
as they would SO many loads of hay or
grain.-New York Sun.

building a silo.

A new method of lining up the walls
of silo is suggested which promises
to be an improvement over the common
way of matched boards and sheathing
paper. This consists of using only ordi-
nary cheap boards for the purpose, leav-
ing an inch space in place of the paper
between the two Innings, and filling it
with portland cement. This cement fill
ing hardens to the firmness of stone and
is in no respect affected by the presence
or absence of moisture. This prevents,
it is claimed, the shrinking and swell
ing of the lining, which tears the paper
and opens air spaces through the sheath
ing. At the same time it is less expen-
sive than the extra cost of the better
lumber required in the cases of the
matched boards. Some silos have been
constructed after this manner. says

The Latest Tire Infiater,

An Englishman has invented a nickel
in-the-slot tire infater. A stand holds
the cycle, tube connects with each
tire, and when the latter is of sufficient
hardness mechanical levers, actuated
by the coin, shut off the air, rendering
it impossible to burst the tires. When
o coin is dropped into the slot handle
is thrown into gear, which the con-
tributor can pump easily. In case Of a
puncture, the machine is SO arranged
that it may be worked at half pressure
until the puncture is located. It is pro
posed to utilize side pillars for the de-
livery of oil. lamp wick, matches, and
other supplies. The inventor expects
to organize company, and place his
machines at all cycle resorts.

the butter is made in small pats, like
those in ordinary use. Each pat is
wrapped in bit of fine muslin and
placed on a bed of rose leaves specially

A young woman of Brooklyn has In
vented new bicycle tire which she
claims presents less surface friction
than the ordinary tire. It is especially
advantageous in ascending steep grades,
and will not collapse. It is composed
of a series of balls arranged continuous
" in circular frame fitted in the
grooved portion of the tire rim. The
frame is segmental In cross sections
and has a removable section, through
which new balls may be introduced in

Live Stock Points.

Iowa has lost s27, 900, 600 from hog
cholera in the last year. President D. L.
Howard of the Iowa Swine Breeders
association says hog raisers must reduce
their output of these animals and rear
more sheep and cattle.
Keeping cattle in dirty pens in stock
yards is exceedingly nasty. No wonder
the people of Somerville, Mass, made
complaint of the stencil arising from the
slaughter pens there. It is time shippers
and slaughterers of live stock of all
kinds should be forced to keep all their
premises thoroughly cleansed and disin-
fected. They owe this to the cause Of
public health and also of private de-
cency.
1t is true that, owing to change in
the fashion, the wool Of Angora goats,
commonly called mohair, is not SO much
in demand as it was year ago. Still,
the flesh of, the animal is said by those
who have eaten it to be much better
than mutton, more tender and delicate.
1t will be easy for the raisers of these
goats to create market for spring kids
equal to that for spring lambs.
The Chicago stock show, Nov. 2-13,
will be com animation affair. Horses,
fat cattle, sheep and pigs, also dairy
products, poultry and all machines per-
tanning to the poultry business will be
exhibited. Sixteen thousand dollars in
cash prizes will be divided among the
winners.
Sometimes a sucking mare puts on
flesh and does not give milk enough for
her foal. In that case give her diet of
bran and crushed oats. This will make
her produce more milk.
Bran and crushed oats together is not
only excellent feed for sucking mares,
but their foals like it as well and will
learn to eat it rapidly. This makes their
weaving easier.
Feed the sheep little grain or oil
meal, even when they are on pasture

A dairy COW Is fed for two purposes.
First, a sufficient quantity Of feed
must be given to her to nourish her
body. Second, she is fed to produce
milk. All the feed she will digest after
her body is nourished goes to the pro-
duction of milk, unless it is too full of
fat and starch. In that case it merely
fattens her without increasing the milk
flow. Bran and ground oats mixed to-
gether with some oilcake constitute a
good milk producing food. The way to
determine how much feed a milk COW
needs to keep her in good order is to
watch carefully how much she eats
when she is dry. In all cases give her
Just what she will eat up clean, no
more. This, too, must be ascertained BY
watching carefully each individual
