The womun canxasser.

The up to date woman canvasser is to
be admired for her assurance, yet there
are several points that might be given
to her by the women she favors with her
calls that should tend toward her ulti-
mate success. If one were writing a
guide for women canvassers, she would
begin with the advice, Don't gush." 1t
may please the woman with a book to
sell to indulge in sentimentality, but the
effort upon the other woman is harden

peal to the woman Of sense. She comes
with nothing more reprehensible in her
hand than her money purse, but she owns
pockets. Women in other lines of bust

and why the feminine book agent should
feel it necessary to cling to an affectation
and general sloppiness of manner is u
mystery. She may consider it winning,
but, if so, that is just where she makes
a mistake. Once in awhile one finds

Keeping Herself Trim.

To be well dressed one must be abso-
lutely spotless = shoes well polished,
gloves clean, wells smooth, etc-and it is
all girl can do to keep six gowns and
the accessories to be worn with them in
this condition without a maid; therefore
the fewer you have over this number
the better you will look, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. Even your jewels
should be cleaned often, as dust soon set
ties around the stones in their settings
and makes them lose their brillancy
You can keep your set jewels, with the
exception of pearls, very bright by plung
ing them frequently in pure alcohol, then
brushing them with fine brush, like
those used for water color paintings, as
even the softest cleaning brushes have
stiff enough bristles to occasionally loos-
en- the stones in their settings if brushed
frequently. After this dry carefully with

cnrriaEe of the Manila Girl.

The carriage and walk of the native
women of Manila are thus described by
returning traveller:
Gas a rule, the women of all classes
are as straight as the wall of house,
If not straighter. A plumb line dropped
from the nape Of the neck would, in
most instances, fall well behind the heels.
But the gait is peculiar swing, which is
quite noticeable. Some charge this, as
well as the straightness, to their habit
of carrying all burdens, from cake of
soap to house and lot, on the top of the
head. That is probably the cause of the
erect bearing, but l think the peculiar
gait is due to certain swing of the limbs
required for keeping the shoes on the
feet. The local woman's shoe consists
usually of fiat sole with toe cap.
Sometimes the cap has room for all the
toes, sometimes not. Often the sole is
raised from the ground by wooden heels
and soles-blocks like, but lower than.
those used by the japanese. Stockings
are not usually Worn. Let my gentle
reader take pair of her little slippers
and cut away from the soles all of the
superstructure except u cap that will just
about cover her toes and, after sticking
her toes into them, try to walk around
her boudoir and see how many shoes she
has on after the trip. Try it again with
the little outward curving swing from
the knee, with resultant side swing
from the hip. After few years of prac
tice the slipper will stay on, and you will
have acquired the gait of the Filipino.
There is, perhaps, certain grace in the
movement and there is also a good deal
of shutting and general appearance
of being siipshod.'

Thoroughbreds ana Grades.

1t is often a mistake of young breed
ers to suppose that the fine appearing
grade stock which they have secured
by crossing pure bred animals with ma
tive stock will prove as good as it looks
when put to the test of breeding. This
in the nature of things cannot be the
case, says the Boston Cultivator All
the excellencies of the pure bred stock
have been fixed in it by more or less
close breeding or, in other words breed
ing to nearly related stock The prod
uce of this in and in breeding is quite
likely to be somewhat delicate in con-
stitutional vigor, and it requires that
there be bred several strains of the same
breed so as to perpetuate it's excellences
in lines not too closely related. By
breeding two animals of these different
strains together, enough new blood is
introduced to maintain the stamina of
the breed and yet without lessening it's
special value for the purposes for which
it has been bred. Crossing to wholly
unrelated stock produces mongrel that
is more than likely to perpetuate the
worst qualities Of both dam and sire if
carried beyond the first cross, which as
an individual may be better than Ell
ther The grade males should always
be emasculated while young The fe-
males may be kept as breeders if they
are always bred to pure bred males of
the same breed which produced the
grade

"RAzoRBAck" HAMS.
A Great American Product and How
1t Was Named.

A Great American Product and How
1t Was Named.
lone of the best and apparently not
the least appreciated Of the many inn
portant food products which America
sends to England and France is the
celebrated 'Smith6eld' or 'razorback'
ham, for about 35, 900 of such hams are
annually shipped to those two countries
from this city, said a leading exporter
of provisions in New York to writer
for the Washington Star. ''In Eng
land, where the domestic hams have
tendency to be fat and coarse, our
Smithfeld hams have among connois-
seurs very high reputation for lean
ness and great delicacy of flavor, both
of which qualities are not thought to
be excelled by even the famous West
phalian hams of Germany. AS the Brit
ish consumer is willing to pay fancy
price for the product. some of our
choicest 'razorbacks' are exported to
John Bulls markets.
1.-The name 'razorback' is derived
from a small town on Pagan creek. near
Norfolk, Va, where some hundred
years ago the hams were first cured by
man named Todd of Smithfeld. The
animal which produces the Smithfeld
ham is semiwild hog that is found in
the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee. The hog peculiar to
these regions is long nosed, slabsided
and has unusually long legs. 1t is not a
prepossessing animal, but when proper
ly fed it supplies ham that is unex-
celled anywhere in the world
much of the fine flavor which is
characteristic of these hams is largely
due to the care that is exercised by the
farmers in feeding the hogs. In summer
the young 'razorback' is allowed to
run wild in the woods and his meat
thereby gains gamy flavor by fall,
when he is turned into field from
which crops have been gathered in or
der to fatbsn In the district which
produces the most Smithfeld hams
there are large quantities of sweet po-
tatoes and peanuts grown.
Both these foods fatten the animal
with astonishing rapidity, but the fat
is still soft. So the next step is to pen
the hog up and give him corn and
plenty of clear water With this diet
the animals flesh hardens quickly to
the desired extent. and he is then ready
to kill The curing is done with Liver
pool salt and saltpeter, after which the
hams are washed clean and slowly
smoked for 40 days over green hickory
OF red oak wood. Many farmers raise
the hogs, but few cure them. They are
sold to skillful curers. who supply the
market ~

THE IOWA CHURCH.
The Latter Day Saints-Not Mormons-Ea
tract from Sac County Democrat.

The prominence given to the Salt Lake
City Mormons growing out of the Roberts
case" has raised an antipathy against any
thing which savors of mormonism. 1t is not
generally known that the Utah mormons are
a-branch rather an off Shoot of the Latter
Day Saints as organized by Joseph Smith, or
that polygamy and temporal sovereignty, as
advocated by Brigham Young and his fol-
lowers, as a distinctive part of mormonism
was not, nor is not now, allowed by the fol-
lowers of Smith.
So far as the organization or practices go
the Mormons and Latter Day Saints are as
wide apart as are the Catholics and protest.
ant churches.
The writer lived for u number of wears i'm
the neighborhood with strong congregation
of the Saints and from his observation and
association among them, is convinced that
they are as sincere in their adherence of
mormonism as is any good, moral man or
woman. They are u different people with
different ideas and different creed.
The distinctive features of the church of
the Latter Fay Saints, is given by Elder C.
J. Hunt of Deloit who has been conducting a
series of meetings at the Rowe school house
west of town:
The seat of the presidency and publishing
house of this society, is at Lamont, Decatur
county, Iowa. Mr.. Hunt af1irms their church
to have been organized by direction of am
angel of the lord; with apostles, prophets
etc, declaring that the christianity of Christ
cannot be enjoyed in its fullness, without
complying with the principles of faith, re-
pentance, baptism in water by immersion
for the remission of sins, and laying on of
hands for the gift OF the holy spirit. Asa
church, they claim that the gifts mani
tested in new Testament times are enioyed
by them. The elder tcrtains a hope that
he can arrange to hold tabernacle meetings

Let Quarreling be Postponed.

1t is unkind of the Bulletin to ascribe
selfish and improper motives to those
who have met at different times to con
slider a project for Denison's welfare.
We do not believe single person in
Denison has been actuated by any more
selfish motive than the upbuilding OF
the community and the consequent
benefit to him as citizen and bust
ness man.
Should matters materialize as Deni.
son fondly hopes they will it may be
deemed best to send committee to Dies
Moines to present Denison's claim. If
such we're TIE case it would be perfect
ly right for the citizens who staid at
home to pay tie expenses of those who
went.
We know of no business man whose
time is of so little value that he would
be figuring for weeks in advance for a
job that would pay his Expenses"
We are OF going to impugn the Bulle-
tins motives, we do not think This a
proper season for recriminations. Let
us all work together, and lay aside the
old scores at least until the imperative
necessity for united action il past. In
the meantime we do not think it is
helping the cause any to intimate that
any ones loyalty to his home is based
upon the glittering prospect of giving a
week or two of his time for his
board and lodging.
AS it is, fair progress is being made.
The Reviews first object, to impress
the Importance of the matter upon the
people, has been accomplished. A
representative comm ttee has been ap-
pointed to confer with the stockholders
and after their cooperation has been
secured the citizens in general should
again take hold of the matter and per-
feet an organization. While the stock
holders are interested to the amount of
their stock involved. in other respects
they have no mora at stake than any
other person. Denison may not sue
coed in its undertaking but the best we
can do is nothing too much, and to do
our best absolute harmony is ess antial.
This is entirely too early in the game
for any aspersions or divisive str.fes.

A Secret of Economx.

To be judiciously economical requires
master mind. Less great minds never
make success Of it, but become mean
or miserly But when one has to count
the pennies this kind of economy is in
valuable. Ii you are careful, you will
not only save, but get more out Of what
you have already got. When you get a
letter, tear the half sheet off. 1t will
save letter paper for making shop lists,
etc. on. When you drop a pin OF hair
pin. pick it up instead of letting it be
swept up in the dustpan. When you see
hole, mend it. When you tear any
thing, stick it together. Always keep
your clothes well brushed and neat
Never let a loose hook or tiny ravel
go unlocked after. Keep your shoes
tidy with kid restorer and wear an apron
when you have dirty work to do.
