MILFORD Burson was not born to be
hung, nor killed in railroad wreck,
nor even twisted into kingdom come
on an elevator shaft. Saturday he
came near going by the shaft route,
though. He was up on ladder doing
something at the Moses Bros. Elevator
when a nut or knuckle on the shaftIng
that was running near by caught his
pantaloons, and in less than no time
he was stripped as clean as though he
was going in swimming, excepting that
his shoes were not taken off, A hand
kerchief about his neck was also caught
and twisted off, and only by its tearing
in two was his life saved. Milford
was beaten and bruised up somewhat.
but as he says he is tOughened to such
little things he was not laid Off duty,
only long enough to get on some other
clothes.

Boys Who Don't Like Farming.

Farming is depressed, but the farm
ers are as well off as any business men
we know of in the city, and better off
If they are out of debt. An exchange
says: "a farmer who can make liv-
ing now and keep things even. should
not change his business, at least until
our industries revive. He should "let
well -zUugh alone" However, II a
young man does not like farming, the
chances are that he will make no great
success at it. II he is fretting and
ohafing to get away to town or the
city and engage in other business he
had better go. He may be successful,
end at least may learn that he made a
mistake in leaving the farm and will
stay contentedly when he goes back.
We never took much stock in trying to
keep boys on the farm IL their inclina-
lions were all against farm life.

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

The first object in the feeding of
young growing stock is to produce
rapid growth.
About the worst economy that can
bo practiced on the farm is the scant
feeding of stock.
In fattening cnttle 1t is of no advan-
tage at any time to give more than is
readily eaten up clean.
Keep the fattening hogs quiet, clean
and as comfortable as possible in order
TO secure the best rapid gain.
With all classes of stock profitable
feeding consists in giving the animals
all that they will eat and digest prop
er!y.
When sheep are grown for wool and
mutton care should be taken not to Gull
out the good muttons too closely for the
butcher.
Oats contain the material needed to
form bone and muscle, and for this
reason are an excellent feed for young
and growing stock.
Without stock there can be no COM
piete utilization Of the products of the
farm, such as is essential to the secur-
ing of the best profits.
Glover is one of the best crops to
grow to build up run down farms, and
wherever clover can be grown the land
is not past building up.
Every part of the farm should be
made to return something. II too
rough to cultivate seed to grass for pas
ture or plant trees of some kind.
AS general rule the more farmer
prosperous he will be, as the expenses
will not increase in proportion to the
yield.-Farmers' Union.

ssartlnR an Usage Hedge.

A hedge Is both useful and orna-
mental, and also adds value to the
farm. In starting hedge, 1t should be
protected by q fence until the plants
have become of sufficient height to
turn stock. Usage orange, with it's
prongs, can be made to keep the small
est animals out Of field II it is properly
attended to during the first three years
of its growth. The plants should be
cut back severely, or partially cut, and
the branches interviewer, process
which is tedious but necessary IL a close
hedge Is desired. The only objection
to hedges is the fact that they draw"
the land and require trimming every
year, but they are cheaper than fences
and win last for many years.

FASHIONS OF LONG AGO.
The style of Clothes Worn by Young
Women Early In tho Century.

The style of Clothes Worn by Young
Women Early In tho Century.
In general all was rose-colored to the
two young country girls launched into
society with every advantage which
youth, cultivation, beauty, and high con-
nections could bestow. Riches they did
not possess, but they we're too happy to
care for that. Their wardrobe strikes
one as having been decidedly limited,
but at that time 1t was held that sim
plicity should rule the attire of all
young girls, 50 they did not feel abashed
in the fresh, sheer white Indian muslin
gowns, relieved with broad sashes,
which were their only evening wear.
These were made with low, square-cut
necks and full sleeves gathered into O
puff little above the elbow.
The so-called Empire styles were then
prevalent, and probably in an exag-
gerated form, as.is apt to be the case
when fashions have to be copied at q
distance not only of thousands of miles,
but also of year or more of time. The
skirts were short, showing not only the
thin slipper, but the colored silk stock
ings well above the ankle, and were 80
very scant that 1t required skill to dance
in them without rcnding the slight
fabric. Neither Of the sisters had silk
dress. Gowns Of that material were
hardly considered suitable for unmar-
ried womne under rs ycnrs Of age.
Gowns Of pretty lowered chintz were
worn at home, except in extremely cold
weather, when q heavy but soft Material
known as 'stufr'' was permitted. For
driving or walking each sister had
gown of dark crimson broadcloth.
These were made with close sleeves
coming little below the elbow, where,
as well as around the neck and the bot
tom Of the skirt was an edging Of
swans down, changed later in the sea-
son for u border of marten fur. Long
pelisses of crimson cloth. lined and
trimmed with the marten fur, and great
muffs and tippets of the same were worn
In all suitable weather. The crimson
velvet bonnets were large and scoop
like things, adorned with nm abundance
OF white ostrich plumes, but not by any
means as exaggerated In size as those
worn few years later.-Helen Evertson

SPIRITLESS FARMING.
Tho Natural Result OF Doing Things Ac-
cording to Old Methods.

cording to old Methods.
To run too long in one unvarying
channel of business, man is prone 10 be-
come spiritless, grows shiftess and un-
enterprising. He must vary or change
his methods, make new shifts, SO as to
give newness and variety to his ocupa-
ton, which serves TO stir up an interest,
with desire to see and enjoy the re-
suits of his handiwork. This interest
and desire begets energy, as it were,
from whence follow other and often
greater efforts, and, as a matter of
course, something profitable will be nc
complished. This awakening to the
calls Of industry, in other words, is en-
terprise. without which no one is likely
to prosper much in any sphere. An en-
terprising spirit strives TO accomplish
something as much for the pleasure in
its accomplishment as for the actual
need of the fruits of its labor.
With some it is difficult TO get up this
enterprising spirit; especially SO with
such people as are inclined to take
things easy" and to "let every day pro-
vide for itself" from which very cause
there are thousands OF farms-to say
nothing of the personal Improvement
of milies--throughout the country,
that are rendered unattractive and I'M
dcrvalued by the despoiling effects of
neglect, and which, by the touch of
little rubbing up, so to speak, would be
enhanced in value and made beautiful
as apples of gold in pictures of silver"
So. tfN.,
chiefly speaking of farmers-are proud,
and want themselves and families to
stand fairly credible, yet neglect one of
the most essential means of gaining
that responsibility. For next to- edu-
cation and refinement in our persons is
that of improving and identifying the
homes in which we dwell. So. then,
the father who wishes his family to en-
joy II respectable position in society
should also strive to have a bright and
attractive home for them.
The neglect of the home and family
often comes of too eager pursuit after
money getting. sometimes of petty
speculation, sometimes of too much
concern about public affairs and many
other similar cause which detract at
tention from home and home affairs,
and as a rule only half work is done any
where.
However the cause of this unprogres-
sive way of managing affairs, it is one
that grows and soon becomes n rut. so
to speak, that is hard to pull ont Of;
often it requires some external force to
get one out at all. But again Il very lit
lie sometimes serves TO stimulate a spir-
it of progress. For instance, we once
knew man who was led to make n
great change in his affairs by potato
crop he reared turning out exceedingly
well, and from which he realized Il good
profit; and this stimulated him to turn
his attention to his crops more closely
and energetically, and which paid bet
ter and better year by year, till he be-
came quite a prosperous farmer. Al
though the first step in this case was an
involuntary one, we see, yet every one
can voluntarily take the first progress
sive step if they will, and by determina-
ton strive after others, and success will
ultimately follow.-Cor. Epitomist.

FOR Fair Women.

A combination much in vogue and al
ways pretty Is violet and green.
The velvet gown Is undoubtedly tho
winters favorite toilet.
A large number of the new evening
gowns are trimmed with lace designs
arpliqued to the material. They are
particularly effective when they ndorn
the sides Of the skirt.
An exquisite dinner gown which has
Just been designed Is made Of deep
cream color silk. The skirt has two
narrow panels of green velvet. which
are adorned with yellow lace roses and
leaves appliqued to the velvet.-Chicago

Laccs Modelled Into Jacket Forms Are
Among the Newest.
The jacket idea dominates In modes.
This picturesque accessory rounds away
or falls squarely over bodice and must
needs be trimmed the better to accentu-
ate it's Importance. When not forming
q separate garment, the jacket is sinu-
lated by garniturc, almost every variety
of which lends itGelf TO this pleasing
adjustment. If the coloring of textiles
is subdued, it is left to the trimming to
crafty the prevciling fancy for gay
effects. Even black braid trimmings
are not infrequcnuy encrusted with
jewels or mixed with colored or metal
braids. The jet passcmenteries, though
hueless, emit sort of dim radiance.
30 sharply cut are the facets with which
these trimmings bristlc. Then there
are the various iewelcd trimmings
made on such delicate supports rs chif-
fon or mousseline de sole. and e1nulat-
ing oriental embroideries in their wealth
of rich coloring.
Even laces arc influenced by this c.
price for bright effects. and the CLINT
of gold is in evidence in many of the
novelties. Gold flowers are appliqued
upon point Venise foundations in lace
that is offered in bands and also in
the piece. Then there are Irish applique
laccs in wheel and other patterns glis-
tening with gold dots. Gold threads
outline some Of the patterns effectively.
Gold gauze sustains other laces of the
Irish point variety. Heavy laces are
extensively used. popular among them
being point Venise, Carrickmarose,
Irish crochet and q host of noveltie
