passed bill appropria;ing $25O0 per
year for a period of two years for the
location and support of an agricultI-
raj experiment station at some point
ON the upper peninsula. In an inter-
view outlining tho ideas of the board
in opening up the new station, the
president Of the board, Mr.. Snyder,
said: "Ihe consider tiohs as to the
locality of the new station will be
chiefly, and perhaps wholly, physical
and geographical. We desire to To-
cate the station where it will do the

state as opposed to the old theory of
100 acres with a little of this, that, and

Young Woman Runs n Mill.

Miss Clara M. Stimson is q young
woman of Maine, who has shown that
o woman can run shingle mill with
profit and satisfaction to her en-
ployes.
She is now assisted in her work by
another woman, who is a lecturer and
reformer, cultured and travelled, but
able to put into her work real bust
ness effort and ability. Miss Stim-
sons father was the owner of shingle
mill, and when he died, ten years
ago, the daughter determined to keep
on with the mill. She has succeeded
beyond her expectations, and now has
customers all over the country.
Her mill is at Masardis, in the heast t
of the lumber district. The machinery
that went into the building Miss
Stimson herself bargained for, max
ing better arrangements, it is said,
than any man had done III that coun-
try before. She is successful at the
markets in Boston and New York,
and visits them regularly. and she
says contractors and laborers are al
ways equally courteous to her.

And tufts Of fragrant pennyroyal blew

and flashed down it at tremendous
rate, but not so rapidly as the storm,
which [ could feel to be creeping up.
The wind at my back pushed me
onward, and it seemed only a few
seconds before l reached the school,
after all. AS 1 approached L looked
about for my sister; she was nowhere
to bo seen. L was in an agony of des-
perGtion. l shouted and called, but
the wind behind drowned my voice. 1
dared not dismount to search for her.
She might have hidden herself in the
building, or she might have gone
farther up the road. The latter hypo-
thesis proved to be correct. just as
/ reached the gate [ saw the little blue
dress about seventy-fve yards beyond,
where she had been partially con-
cealed by the fence. She was run
ming as fast as she could, apparently
crying, and looking back in a terrified
manner, but she stopped when she
beheld my approach.

swung her astride the upper tube, and
commanded her to grip the handle

slight delay the sound of the tornado
had come up louder and nearer. 1t

not more than 900 yards behind. AS

Der hue of the gyrating body.
The next cross road was only half q
mile ahead, but it was the freshly
graveled one leading past our farm,
and L could not turn upon it. 1t was
consequently necessary to ride full
mile and a half before reaching an
other. The additional weight on the
machine told severely on my muscles,
and I would gladly have taken to the
fields now, but Ethel was too heavy
to be carried, and she could not mus
ter up sufficient speed on her own
legs to evade the fast approaching
'twister.
1t was clear that the race could not
last so. 1 had almost forgotten the
sail, snugly lashed to the mast before
me, but the thought now came to me
like an inspiration. I dared not dis
mount to unfurl it, but 1 clutched the
handle-bars with one hand and ner-
vously undid the =" DTS with the other.

So many dainty little devices are
necessary now in the way of jewelry
that it would be hard for most people
if it were not for the importation OF
the imitation jewolry, that is so ex-
tremely attractive nowadays.
The newest effects are in the belt
and neck buckles worn with the al
most too popular shirt waists. Just
how to finish shirt waist at the
throat and belt is always a problem.
particularly if woman is inclined to
be stout. The broad belt and the
high stock collar are all very well for
slight young girls, but as shirt waists
ore supposed to be correct for older
women, it is time that something else
was found to make them possible.
The new style of wearing belt made
of a piece of soft satin ribbon quite
wide, and then putting the ends of
the ribbon into the buckle, is q very
satisfactory fashion. The ribbon is
soft enough to draw down at the back,
where it can be fastened to the skirt,
thus avoiding the ugly gaping apart
of skirt and waist. The buckle, quite
u small one, can be in silver
studded with precious stones, or in
enamel, oxidized silver. or fire gilt.
The designs are charming, and the
buckles most expensive. These waist
buckles, however, are not so fascinat-
ing as the neck buckles, which fasten
q soft ribbon just at the throat. The
idea is to have a piece of ribbon from
two to four inches in width and three
quarters of yard in length, or even
longer if necessary, SO that it will go
around the neck twice. The ends are
put into this small buckle, which is
worn just at the throat; little bow
of lace being put on underneath.
The prettiest buckles are very
small, and are of gilt, sometimes
studded with jewels. They look par
ticularly we'll with the white peau de
sole ribbons. This style OF neck
wear is quite the coolest and most
comfortable yet invented 1t is very
attractive when the neck aud belt
buckles match, but there is no law
that they should be in one and the
same design. .-Harper's Bazaar.

hands of womep The question of the
great difficulty of obtaining good
mixers would be easily solved if in
England, as in Scotland and Wales,
women were employed, and encour-
aigement should be given to this work
by County Councils.
l am often asked, Can dairying be
made to pay? and without hesitation
can answer in the affirmative. The
branch of dairy work to be adopted
must to great extent depend upon
the position of the farm. If near O

able, but this has its disadvantages
and expenses, and probably the most
paying line of work is combination n
OF butter and cheese making, with a
home sale of surplus milk. 1 strongly
urge cheesemaking; not the common
kinds, but the smaller make of Eng
llsh cheeses, and also the various
kinds OF French and cream cheeses.
There are now several schools in
Eng land where the process of this sort
OF cheesemakiug is taught, but to
learn the art in perfection I advise o
short stay in Normandy at some of the
splendid dairy farms that are to be
found there, for nowhere else can so
thoroughly be learned the important
secrets of the care needed in the vari-
GUS temperatures required by cheese
in its different stages.
If butter making is taken up as the
chosen work of the dairy, the three
great points to be remembered, and
which require a mistress care, are,
first, the feeding of the cows-that
only the sweetest and best food is
given; then, to secure really uniform
quality of butter, use separator; and,
above all else, let perfect cleanliness
be the rule of the dairy and cowsheds.
1t would be great thing for the fu.
ture of butter if the milk from all
small dairies were sent to large fac
tories. AS it is, from the small dairies
with their two or three COWS much of
the bad butter comes.
1t is to be wished that there was a
keener interest among women in the
interesting and healthful work of the
dairy farm.

that it had lasted longer when I

to the right. Farther down the road

the schoolhouse, and the idea came
to me that it was fortunate that school

How I came to forget the existence
of Ethel SO completely I can not un-
derstand. The startlingly sudden ap-
pearance of the tornado seemed to
have driven all thought of anything
else from my mind. But 1 had not
ridden fifty yards down the road to
safety when the recollection of her
habit of waiting for me flashed through
my brain. 1t was almost certain that
she was there. Icould seem to see
her standing expectantly by the road

the very track of the whirlwind 1t
