Articles of Lingerie,

There is something very attractive
about dainty underwear, and many
articles of the kind are suitable for
gifts that should be tied up in dainty
packages with the narrow satin baby

LICE ON LIVE STOCK.
As with All Other Ills Prevention Is Much
Better Than Cure.


Lousiness is largely the result of
stinting feed and the neglect to groom
properly. Stock kept in a thrifty,
growing condition are rarely, if ever.
infested by these pests unless they
come in contact with animals that are
infested. But one lousy animal run
ming with other stock will soon commu-
nicate the lice to all. When the insects
once get start they multiply so rapid
ly that in short time the animal is
fairly alive with them and is kept.in
perfect torment. 1t is next to impossi-
Bile to get lousy animal into thrifty
condition until the lice are gotten rid of.
Stock that have TO lie out, exposed to
cold and storms, and are ill-fed are al
most certain to become infested; this IS
SO much the case that it seems that
poor condition breeds lice.
AS with all other ills to which stock
is liable, prevention is much better than
cure. Feeding well, giving clean, COM
Portable quarters with proper groom
ng, SO as to keep the skin clean, will
keep lice from getting start.
One of the best, if not the best, r.m-
edies is staves-acre seeds, thoroughly
bruised, and vinegar. This lotion will
not only kill the lice, but destroy the
nests as well. The staves-acre seeds
brushed and made into an ointment
with lard is also good remedy. twill
be good plan to repeat the application
in ten days or two weeks, especially if
the animals are badly affected.
In mild cases common tobacco
stepped in water and sponged over the
skin will rid the animal of lice. Still
another remedy is to take one ounce of
tobacco, two ounces of ground white
hellebore, with about two pints and a
half of vinegar; boil all well together,
strain and then sponge the animals
with it.
Feeding sulphur is also good aid in
Kidding animals of lice. The objection
to it is that if while it is in the system
the animal should get wet considerable
injury may result.
The quarters should be thoroughly
cleansed up and whitewashed. 1t will
help if carbolic acid is added to the
whitewash. Generally it will pay to
repeat the whitewash in week or ten
days. ..
When stock have been allowed to run
together, if portion of them show that
they are infested with these pests it is
best to treat all of them.-St Louis Re-

Southern Homes In Texas.

A great development is now going on in
the Coast Country OF Texas, especially that
portion known as the Diamond district"
Ihls IS section with Houston and Gal
weston at the north and south points of the
Diamond, the west side being bounded by
The Gulf, Colorado IL Santa Fe Railroad and
the east side by Buffalo bayou, San Jacinto
bay and Galveston bay. Less than four
years ago this was great cow pasture, be.
ing one OF the richest grazing countries on
the face OF the globe. Only few isolated
small farms existed, but they were produc-
ing phenomenal results, not only with the
southern staples of corn, cotton oats and
sugar, but more particul rly with early
fruits and vegetables. In fact it was demon
strated beyond an doubt that tho net rev.
enue produced yearly from ten or twenty
acres would equal and in many cases ex-
coed that Of the ordinary quarter section in
the north. People OF all trades and profess
sions in the north were attracted toward
south Texas by the successful result Of the
1etties at Galveston, which increased tho
depth OF the water in that harbor to moro
than twenty seven feet, deep enough for the
largest vessels and the rapid advance of
commercial prosperity in both Houston and
Galveston. These people were not slow to
see the agricultural pos Utilities in the Dia-
mond district above referred to, and the re-
suits OF the past four years, depressing as
they had been financially speaking, had been
astounding. Houston has doubled her popu-
lation, Galveston has done nearly as well,
and the intermediate country Is dotted
throughout the entire Diamond district with
hundreds OF small farms in the highest state
of cultivation. Railroad and water facilities
are ample and reasonable, and the inhabi-
tants OF that district are within an hours
ride Of the two largest as well as the Metro
politan cities of Texas. Within its borders
have grown the prosperous little cities of
La Porte, Webster, Alvin, ETC.. which are
attracting the attention Of the whole north.
The climatic and healthful conditions are all
tn t could be asked for, and it is expected
that within very few years it will be the
garden spot of the United States.

A HAPPY WIFE.
She Relates to a Reporter tho
Secret Of Her Joy.
For Many Months She Was Sad and
Worried Because OF Illness - She
Gives Thanks for the Discovery
to Which She Attributes Her
Present Good Health.
From the Chronicle, Chicago, m.

from inc Chr0ntctc, Chicago, Ill.
Eleven years ago there came to Chicago
from Toledo, Ohio, Mr.. and Mrs. s. J. San
ders. They had been hard working and in
dustrious people but had met with serious
trouble. Mr. Sanders was n blacksmith, but
was obliged to give up his work at the forge
owing to the loss of an eye, from spark
from the anvil. Mrs. Sanders, like many
another woman, became broken down in
health by hard work. She was aseamstress,
and careless of her health, sewed early and
late. The confinement and the STOPPING in
cident to such work broke down her health,
and 1t was thought she was going init quick
consumption. Instead, she developed VIC
lent case of typhoid fever, to which, by the
way, any one is liable whose system Is run
down and whose vitality is depleted. This
confined her not only to the house but to her
bed as WELL When she finally rallied, il
was to find herself so weak and debilitated
that for six long months she was barely
able to crawl about, and her physicians
could not restore her strength. She was
reduced to skeleton, could not eat, could
do no work, and rs she expressed it, could
not have endured this much longer.
This description OF the after effects OF
typhoid will be recognized as faithfully true
by any one who have had the disease; and IL
Is these after effects To which physician
must give faithful attention. His patient
Is not out Of danger until the strength and
appetite return.
Mrs. Sanders, however, became convinced
that her physicians were not helping her to
mend, and sought other means.
She came to the conclusion that a prep.
aration which would enrich the blood,
would build up her health. She accordingly
made use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, now extensively used as blood
purifier. The effects were satisfactory

TRIMMINGS FOR SKIRTS.
How They May Be Used to Advantage ir
Remodeling.

How They May Be Used to Advantage In
Remodelins.
In making over an old gown the
present fashion of trimming skirts will
be found most useful. A skirt almost
invariably shrinks from seasons wear
and after it is taken apart and sponged
it is sure TO measure too short by seve-.
al inches.
In remaking a skirt never lengthen
at the waist. Such approaching will spoil
the hang of it quicker than anything
else.
When plain skirts were worn it was
impossible to lengtlien skirt without
msightly piecing. Now, however, the
bottom of the skirt may be pieced anG
then trimmed to conceal the piecing.
For a street gown braid is the best
trimming. Hercules or soutache braid
is favored and should be put on in two
or four row clusters. If the wearer il
short, two rows as near the foot as pcs.
sible is best. A young girl may have
the braid sewed in a Grecian border
around her skirt if her gown ends at the
ankle.
Skirts intended for indoor wear are
prettily trimmed with ruches, with
may be of silk or of dress material. II
OF silk, frayed edges save time and give
an additional touch of beauty. The
ruches may be put on close around the
foot or ten inches up. A band of fur
sometimes replaces the ruche. 1t
should, however, be of good quality to
wear well and is, therefore, way above
the heads of ordinary mortals.-Chi-

NO WONDER PEOPLE STARED.
She Had Used . Pair Of Her Husbands
Trousers rs = Shawl

Dno HAD Used . Pair or Her HusDanQe
Trousers as Shawl
She is noted housekeeper, and 1t is
her proud boast that she can always
find any article in her house without a
light, be the night ever so dark, and that
in case of her sudden demise no one
need blush for the condition of any cup
board in her dwelling.
The other evening she was going out
with her husband, but it seemed rather
hard for them to get started. Once she
returned to turn back the rug before
the parlor fire, and once to give the cook
aH order. The husband heaved a sigh of
relief as they finally reached the pave
ment, but it was cut short by his wife's
exclamation: There, it is really cold,
and have on this thin little jacket. I
must go back and get my old brown
shawl"
Look here, how many times are you
going back, anyhow" demanded her
husband. "You will be all tired out be-
fore we start"
SWELL, John, dear, if you insist upon
II, you may get it for me. You need
not make light to find it. 1t is hang
ing on the third peg on the right hand
tide of the cupboard in the back room
upstairs"
''But that Is where my things are
kept"
II know, dear, but since have given
away all your old things to the nice,
polite tramp there is plenty of room.
I keep just few things there because
they are old and smell so strong of
moth balls; I knew you wouldn't mind.
But do go at once; you are making us
SO late! Don't light the gas-oh, he's
gone. How impatient men are"
Five minutes later he came back with
q jammed thumb and no shawl.
Just like man." she said, and went
up to fetch it herself, returning almost
instantly with a nicely folded garment
hanging over her arm. 81 shan't need
1t going, after ALL" she said; "but /
may coming back. l found it just
where told you It was, dear"
After spending pleasant hour or two
upon the friends upon whom they had
called they started to walk home, and
after they had gone block or two she
threw her shawl carelessly about her
shoulders, not without a remark as to
the neatness of her cupboards and her
ability to find things in the dark.
AS they slowly strolled toward home
several people turned to look after
them, with almost audible smiles, caus-
ing her to say, complacently:
Il do believe that people take us for q
pair of lovers, John"
To which John, mankind, replied:
"Blamed idiots!"
People certainly did behave oddly,
md a couple of small boys even fol-
lowed them home with mirthful shouts.
"What can be the matter?" she said.
ITO be sure, my shawl is old-fashioned,
but it can hardly be that"
The husbands key was in the lock by
this time, and, as she followed him into
the parlor, she caught n glimpse of her
self in mirror. Instead of shawl she
had o. pair of her husbands trousers
gracefully draped about her shoulders!
