DEMAND FOR CALVES.
1t Is Brisker Now Than 1t Has Beer
for Long Time.

II Is BrisKer Now Than II Has Been
for Long Time.
A notaole feature in connection with
,he leading live stock markets is the
strong demand for calves that has pre-.
vailed for several months past, says the
Nebraska Farmer. Prices, of course,
rule high under these circumsta noes,
and considering the character of such
meager supply as is offered for sale,
farmers who are looking for stock 10
take the place of older cattle shipped
out, should bear in mind Franklins
maxim that one can easily pay too dear
for his whistle. Speaking generally, the
calves that come from the dairy district
will not make very profitable beef ami
mails, and in considering the question
whether to invest in them or not, the
quality of the young stuff and its prob
able outcome, in view of the fact that
they are dairy calves, must be borne in
mind. OF course, when one cannot
do as well as he would like, he must do
as well as he can, but high prices for
calves that are inferior from the breed
er's standpoint present a condition
that makes one hesitate about what
constitutes doing as we'll as one can.
Whatever may be the conclusion as to
the most eXpedent course for be imme-
date present. the remoter teaching is
not far to seek. Farmers in the beef
growing regions should learn from 1t
the unwisdom, so long as they are such
heavy growers of grain and forage that
must be fed out on the farm, of relying
upon others for animals to which to feed
them. When the beef section of the
country is fairly well supplied and has
pretty nearly enough, it can probably
rely on other sections for enough to fill
out the balance of its needs, since In that
case, prices of young cattle would not
be likely to go skyward under the lntiu-
ence of strong demand. lbut it cannot
permit its homegrown supply to fall so
low as to compel it to rely largely upon
purchases. When this is done. and good
field crops are raised. the farmer is al
the mercy of the market.

Notes on the Latest in Dress fur the
Lnlica.

Notes on the Latest in Dress for the
Ladies'.
New skirts fit the figure perfectly
at the top, their fullness at the back
being closely punched The latest Pa
r;sian round skirt model is only 3A
yards wide at its hem.
Seal capes and coats with high storm
collars are now seldom seen lined with
brown satin. Brocades woven in set
floral figures are the favorite Innings
this season, and very dressv and novel
they are.
The stately princess gown is again
striving to persuade fashionable wom-
en- of lis elegance and becomingness,
and it is gaining in favor. Handsome
figures cannot afford to ignore its adj
vantages.
More material is required to cut the
new shirred sleeve than was needed for
the balloons women lately wore and
admired. This is rather discouraging
10 the economist, but it is liked by i'm
porters and costumers.
Many new close-ftting bodices have
no visible seams at the back. Their
Innings are cleverly scanned and the out
side is cut bias and stretched smooth
over them. This can be done perfectly
only with wooden textures.
Fashion" wrote Hazlitt, sis gentili-
ty running away from vulgarity and
afraid of being overtaken." Gentility
need not be afraid this season, because
the fashions are so refined and graceful
that vulgarity will not like them.
Evolutionists claim that on the stroke
of the twentieth century high heels.
tight corsets and horses with locked
tails will only be looked back upon
and held as barbarities which our race
has outgrown. But, then. evolutionists
are enthusiasts!
Cores of decorative or contrasting
materials let into skirts and bodices
were never more popular, and their
application is increasing, Folds let into
side-front skirt seams are also in favor.
These folds may be of the skirting or
of some other material.
Many of the gowns already prepared
for winter wear have sleeves of a con-
trasting fabric, fashion not long out
OF favor. 1t is said that velvet sleeves
will be favored because they cannot be
gathered or laid in folds. but will tit
plump arms closely to near the shout
der, where they will be trihe larger.
Much is written of the rose putfs at
the tops of evening sleeves, as if they
were mysteries in arrangement. They
are simply sleeve caps covered with ruff

Soda possesses many virtues. 1t is very
valuable to brighten tinware when
brisllly rubbed on with damp cloth;
it preserves the fresh color of green
vegetables when boiled with them in
small quantities; it will clean ceilings
that have been discolored by lamp
smoke if the marks are sponged with
soda and water; it will clean stained
lamp chimneys if these are boiled in
soda and water, and when this latter is
cold are treated in the usual manner

CHICAGO'S GRETNA GREEN.
Milwaukee Is City of Many Mar
riagcs.

riaGcs.
Wisconsin's Gretna Green is what
Milwaukee has become. Eloping
couples flock thither not only from
neighboring states where the marriage
laws are strict, but attracted by the no.
toriety the city has attained from sur
rounding towns and cities.
For all this the marriage laws of the
state are responsible. No license is re-
guired; no advertising is necessary be-
forehand, and no report need be made
to the authorities within 80 days. Even
this last publicity may be avoided if
the contracting parties are minded to
pay bonus large enough to cover the
nominal fine imposed for such neglect
on the part of the officiating clergyman
or justice.
1t has been iestingly said that "all 4
man needs to get married in Milwaukee
is girl" and it is the truth. 1t makes
no difference how young the girl is if
she is prepared to swear that she is Is.
No consent of parents or guardian is
necessary, provided the contracting
ties claim to come from outside the
state.
Rev. Wesley A. Hunsberger, D. D.,
pastor of the Grand Avenue Methodist
church, has performed the marriage
ceremony 2,O95 times in the past three
years. He has received over $4,000 in
fees. Two justices, McWharter and
Hayden, claim to have ofliciated. the
one 1850 times, the other 400.
Other ministers and officials through
out the city have also married many
couples, and the record as it stands is
treble that of any other city of Milwau-
KEGS size.
Eighty per cent. of the clipping
couples are said to have come from
Chicago. Excursion boats ply all sum-
mer between the two cities. Thousands
every week have taken advantage of the
cheap rates for a day on the water and
a sight of the Cream City's" attrac-
tions.
The boats are thus always well load
ed, more especially on Sundays, and the
ministers and justices reap a harvest
from the flirtations INDUCED in during
the trip. Many couple return to Chi
cago married hard and fast who had
not dreamed of taking such a step be-
fore leaving home.
The ease with which the step is taken
thus proves a curse to many an ill-as-
sorted couple, and the divorce courts of
their own cities reap the aftermath.
Marriage, in cities outside of Wiscon-
sin, is hedged about with expense and
trouble. A license must be procured
and the names of the contracting par
ties must be published in the daily pa
pers. Thus no secrecy is possible, and
that is the reason so many take advan-
tage of the Milwaukee Gretna Green

A Phenomenal Island
