sive-for the choirboy waist Is really an elegant affair-is one that Is made of the very finest pale pink cloth, which Is part wool and part cotton. 1t resembles very heavy cashmere and was called by one shopkeeper cashmere and by another half-weight.
 This was fitted to the waist all around except in front, where 1t was lightly bloused, or, more properly speaking. hung straight, depending for its blouse effect upon the waist arrangement of the rib bon. The jacket iself is of pale pink, with a yoke of lace falling over 1t. The dressi- ness Is supplied by yoke of lace, into which Is set rows of puffed ribbon. Puff ings of the ribbon are also set in the sleeves and the seams of the jacket are strapped with the same pink ribbon.
 A very decided relief of color Is obtained by the belt, which is of deep petunia vel vet. It is tied in bow in front. with the ends hanging long over the skirt.
 No skirt is prettier with such a. jacket that striped silk skirt, if one owns such an article. Black and white striped skirts are coming in and are always popu- lar favorites. Such striped skirt looks better with a waist of pale pink than a black one, as the contrast Is considered by many of artistic tastes as entirely too sharp.
 In the chiffon ruffie are run rows of pe- tunia ribbon of very narrow width and in the hair is worn bow of petunia velvet.

 They may be figured or they may run In stripes, and you can even get them with a very nice pin stripe of fine satin running through them. Now they are not cheap, so don't think it, but they are easy to handle and consequently within the limit of the home dressmaker. You can get them from 40 cents to 90 cents per yard.

WHAT IS ELECTRICITY

The old familiar question, What IS electricity? that is asked in every text book on electricity, and is answered by saying that 1t is an imponderable fluid capable of traversing the air, the earth and especially all metals. and for con- mercial purposes flows through iron or copper wires in an invisible fluid state, has no foundation in fact; but ad- vanced electrical scientists to-day re- cognize no such theory and are free to admit that the exact nature of elec- tricity is unknown. The sources Of electricity, such as are termed fric- tional electricity, hydro electricity. pyro electricity, magneto electricity, thermo electricity, animal and vegeta- ble electricity, etc, are not different kinds of electrical force. Electric force or energy is of one kind only, no mat ter from what source it may originate. Exchange.

SHORTAGE OF BEEF CATTLE.

A dispatch from Denver says:
Strange as it may seem, the country
lying west of the corn states is just
now confronted with the probabilities
of beef famine. The reason for this
is the shortage of beef cattle in, the
west. All of last year and so far this
year the demand for cattle to eat corn
in the states east of here, and the big
prices offered has tempted the cattle
men to sell everything fit to go, and
in the western country today, from
which Denver usually draws its supply
of beef cattle there are not enough fat
cattle to supply the local butchers de-
mands
Colorado is not the only state SUI
fering for beef cattle. AS far west as
the Pacific coast the same situation
exists California has usually drawn
its beef supply from home, Nevada
and Arizona. Last year eastern Cali
| fornia and Nevada we're practically
denuded of cattle by spectators, who
{ bought them for more than beef buy
| ers were willing to give, and shipped
them out of the country. The recent
drouth on the coast has left the Cal
| ifornia cattle in bad shape, and the
coast is drawing almost it's total sup
ply from the Salt River valley in Ari-
IONA, and the supply there is limited.
Up in Oregon and Washington the
same condition exists. In western
Colorado there are few cattle on feed
and some are left in Wyoming, but
| they are held at such prices that the
Denver packers cannot reach them.
But the west is simply getting fore
taste Of what the east will get later
on.
Western cattlemen are delighted
with the outlook. at least those who
own cattle are Steers that year ago
were considered dear at 500 to $22 per
head, are eagerly gobbled up today at
$50. Cows that could be bought at this
time last year at s1S are worth $50.
! Down in Texas, cattlemen have com-
menced training upon future genera

quantities of unborn calves at $40 per
head. to be taken from the mother as
soon as they are able to earn their
own living.

there be those who are betimes worked
up because these local papers do not
publish unreliable sensational reports
made up in Los Angeles and Denver
for the purpose of being worked off on
subscribers for which they pay as
much per day as for three and four
times as much telegraph report per
month in their local papers. The bust
ness of the press is to give reliable
news as far as it is possible, and that
is what the Associated Press contracts
with its subscribers to furnish, and it
carries out it's contract to the letter.

DISAPPOINTMENTS WITH POUL
TRY.

Disappointment come frequently to
the keepe of poultry but most often
to the man that expects to get great
deal of money out of the poultry busl-
ness with little work. He buys lot
of hens, builds big house, fences OH
a big lot, makes numerous nests anu
puts the fowls and the establishment
together. He expects they will take
care ofthemselves, and they do 1t, al
ter a fashion. The lice multiply and
the eggs diminish. The fence breaks
down and the prowling animals get IN.
He feeds without regard to their health
and the birds get indigestion. Disaster
after disaster comes upon him. The
little chicks fall prey to lice, cats and
rats. Now and then hawk sWoops
down and carries away fat puiiet.
The gapes get into the threats OF the
chicks, and they begin to fall over and
die. The old birds succumb to 1ndl-
gestion and the flock rapidly decreases.
All of this comes as a result of too lit
tie work put on the flock.

INTEREST TO GRAPE GROWERS

Fred Omeis of this city sent a speci-
men of a destructive little insect which
injured his grape vines to Professor
Cockerell of the agricultural college
for information as to its species and
the best means of getting rid of it, and
received the following letter in reply.
says the Silver City Enterprise:
Mesilla Park, May 16, 1898
F. Omeis, Silver City, N NJ:
/ Dear Sir: l have your letter about
the moth that Injuries the vine The
moth you send is Harrisina metallica
1t was first described from specimens
found by Prof. Snow of the University
of Kansas, near Las Vegas hot springs
There is another kind just like it, but
without the red collar This is dar-
risina coracina, first found by Captain
Pope, on his expedition to the Pecos
. river. Both are liable to injure the
grape vines (also Virginia creeper)
and in my opinion they are not differ
ent species, but only varieties of one
species.
The little caterpillars feed gregari-
ously, and I should think the easiest
way to destroy them would be to lock
for the colonies of them when they
are quite young, and pick off and burn
the leaves they are on. But if this is
! too much trouble, or the orchard is
! large, you can just as well spray the
vines with paris green water, say at
the rate of one pound to $50 or 200
gallons of water, with the same guam
tity of lime as of paris green added
Yours truly,
THEO. D. A. COCKERELL.
Mr.. Omeis writes the Enterprise de-
scribing the insect as follows:
Silver City, May %, 1898.
To the Editor of the Enterprise
Dear Sir: The foregoing letter eX-
plains itself. If you deem it of inter-
est enough to your readers of the En-
terprise you are at liberty to publish it.

TUCSON ON FAKES.
The Bulletin Habit Seems to Emanate
From Stationery Stores.

From nearly every part of the terri
tory where newspapers are printed,
complaints are registered against the
false bulletins, and in nearly every
instance it is noted that some two-cent
stationery establishment has consti
tuted itself the agent CD of the manu-
facturer of these sensational and al
ways untrue dispatches.
They are having a time with this
subject in Tucson, and the Star has the
following regarding it:
There has been no little complaint
during the past week because of the
posting of unreliable Geographic dis
patches purporting to give war news.
Some very sensational dispatches have
been posted which, upon investigation,
proved to be without any foundation
in fact. Mr.. Heermans, who IS proVld-
ing these dispatches, states that he
posts nothing but what is furnished
from Denver or Los Angeles. A COM
parison of these dispatches with the
Los Angeles and Denver papers dis
closes the fact that the sensational
dispatches referred to do not appear in
those papers, so it is reasonable 10 De
lieve that they have been faxed or
made up at those points and sent mere.
The reasons for such work can be sur
missed. The Star believes in securing
the news at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The Star and Citizen receives daily
one thousand words each, for which
they pay large price. This news is
as reliable as appear morning aid

The seth day of May has by national
and territorial legislation been set apart
as a public holiday, and consecrated to
the memory of the dead soldiers of the
republic, who made a tender of their
lives that the Union might live.
The ranks of the once great volunteer
army are steadily diminishing, and as
the old soldiers are being mustered out
we are admonished not to forget their
deeds of valor, heroism and self-sacrifice.
Now, therefore, I, Myron H. McCord.
governor of the territory of Arizona, do
hereby request that the people of the ter
ritory close their places of business on
that day and join the surviving members
of the Grand Army of the Republic in
their memorial services. and by such rec
ognition, prompted by gratitude. emulate
that spirit of patriotism and loyalty
with which our people are so generously
inspired
