Eradicating turrant Worms.

The currant worm is slow traveller,
and seldom leaves the clump of bushes
where 1t was born and bred, even
when 1t gets into The moth stage.
Where they are once cradicated ON n
farm some years of exemption may be
hoped for, even when the pest Is plen-
tiful few miles away. still the use
of hellebore every spring. just as soon
as the currant leaves appear, and re-
ncwlng 1t after every rain, is advisable.
1t Is far better to head off the intruder
before the damage is done than to wait
until currant bushes are stripped bare.
In the latter case probably some of the
worms have gone into the prpa stage
before the poison is applied, and viii
be on hand another spring.

Every farmer who cuts potatoes for
seed, and also every housewife who
removes the skin by peeling them.
knows that the potato Juice IS sure to
stain hands, and to rust knives or other
metal which comes In contact with II.
This is on account of the potash In tho
potato, which Is more than in any other
root. Wetting the hands and holding
them In the fumes of burning sulphur
is n quick and effective way TO bleach
them white. The bleaching power Of
sulphur fumes IS well known But
care should be taken not 20 breathe
them, as they are very injurious. This
may be due to the fact that 1t is the
oxygen of the air which turns blood a
bright red by rusting the iron which
blood ought to contain. If fumes of
sulphur are mixed with air as II goes to

The method of marketing cattle

breeding up In the beef lines, thus in

cattle are now at least 100 per cent

The finishing touches were put on
the new Internal onal bridge of the Ell
Paso Southern Terminal railroad COM
papy this morning, and the plan was
to have the rails reach it some time to-
day, freight trains will be running re-
gu ariy over the structure by Sun
day.
This bridge marks an epoch in the
commercial development and prosper
ity If FL Paso, and gives the town rev
and additional international import
ance. For a trest'e structure, this
bridge is one of the most sOlidly con-
structed anywht re, and will easily last
ten years, much longer than the time
inter ded ere the more permanent iron
structure replaces it The length of
the structure is 600 feet, including
thirty eight bents, or groups of piling
upon which the super-structure or
bridge flooring rests,s the bents are
f four piles each and
are sixteen feet apart. On
the upper bottom of the river the piles
are 35 to 40 feet long, and in the stream
or per there is an il crease of five feet
in length. The wood is of the long
leaf pine variety from Louisiana, the
piles being very rich in rosin. TIE
entire cost of the bridge is SIC, 900, and
the greatest care " as taken in building
to make solid and substantial struc
ture, one that could be looked upon
as perfectly safe, and with a reasonable
degree of pride. Even a casual inspec-
ton will show the passer-by that the
bridge is put together to stay, and
stand most any kind of wear and tear.
To secure freedom from high watar,
the floor of the bridve is four and a
half feet higher than the Stanton street
bridge and two and q half feet higher
than the Mexican Central br dge.
Work was begun December 20 last.
but in January work was stopped by

authorities at the City of Mexico that
a wooden bridge would only.tend to dam
up the river in high water, and en-
danger the property to the west of it.

down into their depot yard. Thi
would take too much time. But it the
city will let the Southern lay
track up Tays street to the T. & P.
depot. pessenger trains can be run be-
tween the two cities. It would be
shorter to run into the Santa Fe yards,
and this may be done, but just now
there is no telling. The Sierra Madre
railroad people are breathing long
sigh OF relief at being able to make i'm
mediate connectinns with the Amer
lean roads, Independent of the
Mexican Central. During the con-
struction of TIE Sierra Madre road
all of the construction material
had to be switched from the G. Fl.
yards over the Santa Fe and Mexican
Central, and this proved a regular
financial picnic for the two connecting
roads Moreover, the new railroad
company were not able to get their
material as fast as desired, as it was
cor veniert for the connecting lines to
deliver it, although the latter say
tt ey did the best they could by their
neighbor. And then the cost of haul
ing through the Santa Fe aud Mexican
Central yards amounted to a
rather oppressive figure for the
Mr.: Higgins corporation to pay
But now with the new terminal line
built and entirely under the con-
troll OF the Sierra Madre Off, ials, there
will be no more euch transfer CHARGES
to pay, when orders come to extend the
road soIth from Casas Grandes. The

THE WELL-DRESSED WOMAN.
All Things in Her Toilet Are Per-
fectly Harmonious, But There
Is Nothing Conspicuous.

The well-dressed woman is not only
well gowned, but all the small details
of her toilet are given consideration.
Her hair, skin and nails show evidences
of care and painstaking, and her cloth
ing has not only been well made, but is
well KEEP. There are some women who
think 1t almost sinful to pay much at
tention to dress and personal care, and
to look we'll dressed and stylish is quite
beneath their ambition. But, believe
me, there is no sin in always trying to
look your best, and that the game is
well worth the candle will show in the
influence upon your home, husband
and children.
The well-dressed woman is not the
one who dresses the most extrava-
gantly, or employs the most fashion-r
able dressmaker; nor is she the one
who affects all ultra styles and fads in
dress; but it is she who is always con-
sistently dressed with regard to time,
place, occasion, age and the size of her
husbands or fathers income. The
ever bright jewel of consistency is
never more beautiful than when shown
in the matter of dress in these days
when SO many snowy and pretty
baubles are designed and offered for
woman's adornment.
We all owe duty to our families,
ourselves and society at large to make
the best of ourselves in every way, and
to be always well dressed is one of the
ways of doing it. Care In dress arguesa a
certain respect for ones self, and peo-
pie are very prone to take you at your |
own estimate. The well-dressed wom- |
an aims to have all things in her toilet
harmonious, having no one feature
conspicuous. You know at a glance
she is well gotten up, and yet no one
particular thing claims your atten-
tion. She does not put on all sorts of
incongruous combinations, nor is she
ever overdressed. To be underdressed
Is always more commendable and safer
than to be oyerdressed.-Mar Rather
Inc Howard, in Woman's Home Com
panion.
