red to was one of the handkerchief
which are so popular this year used in
all sorts of ways.
Tiny Etons, no longer than the shoulder
blades, are made of black silk and lined
with the gayeSt cOlOrs.
After much discussion among the cou-
turiereS, and many consultations with
their patrons, the correct outing dress has
been decided upon.
1t consists of a skirt with some fulness
around the hips and of shoe-top length;
the waist consists of a shirt of Madras or
cotton cheviot material over which is to
be worn the smallest coat that can be
made. The coat is part of the dress and
is not to be taken off except, for instance,
when in actual play, in golf, or when
handling the racquet, at which times 1t
is cast Upon the ground with the hat to
be put on later. For cycling and other
occasions the coat is worm. but, owing to
it's cut and lightness, it is not cumber-
some: indeed it is built to correspond to
a mans summer coat which is always
worn except on the most fatiguing occa-
sions
One of the novelties in golf skirts is a
Scotch grey cheviot made with a very
shallow, though broad, box plait directly
in the front. The box is fully eight
inches wide, and the turned under plait
not over an inche. This is secured in
place by broad straps put on in a pointed
design. AS straps running across the
figure broaden it, these are put on in dia-
| mond fashion. Made full in this way the

1t is given to few people to under
stand the workings of the child mind,
and it is only by the exercise of pa
thence and the utmost sincerity that
one can get to know the ideas and de-
sires that are formed in the ever busy
little brains. A pretty story was once
told by Sir Edwin Arnold of three
children of his acquaintance, whom he
asked at their bed time, when about
to say their prayers, if they would
pray for what they wanted most. After
the two eldest had made their requests,
the youngest, a little girl, knelt down
and, putting her hands together, said:

THE RAISING OF osrRlcHEs.
Five Farms Now Carried ON I'm the
United States.

Five Farms Nov Carried ON I'm the
United States.
There are now FIVE ostrich farms in
the United States-two in California,
n in Texas, n in Florida, and one
in Arizona. The last named, although
the youngest, is the largest and most
f1%ourishing in the country. 1t is To-
Gated near Phoenix, and the Salt river
valley seems well adapted to the At
is required for the birds during the
winter. They Craze the entire year in
the fields, the same as horses and cat
tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The
man in charge of the Arizona farm,
who spent Is years handling ostriches
in South Africa, says the birds do just
as well in the Salt River valley as in
Africa, and that the climatic and other
conditions surrounding them here seem
as well adapted to their requirements
as those existing in their native home.
After the birds attain the age of four
weeks there is little danger of their
dying from natural causes for many
years. 1t is not positively known how
long an ostrich will live under normal
conditions, but there are birds on South
African farms which are believed to
have reached or passed the century
mark, many of them having been in
captivity there ove fifty years. Most
people have the idea, obtained, prob
ably, from their old Biographies when
they were children, that the female
ostrich, after laying her eggs in a nest
scooped out Of the desert sands, COW
ers them up with the sand and leaves
them, trusting to the heat of the sun
to hatch them. This is not the fact
The birds always pair off during the
breeding season, the male bird making
the nest by resting his b~reastbone or
the sand and turning slowly round anG
round, scratching the sand away will
his feet until a shallow hole is made
some three feet in diameter and abou
a foot deep. The female then lays, usu
ally, Is eggs, and the birds take turns
sitting on them, the female sitting
during the daytime and the male a
night, except that the male allows thu
female about an hour in the middle o
the day to feed, when he takes he
place on the nest.-Boston Herald.

ON THE

An Incident with Complications just q
Little Out of the Usual.
cit always disturbs me-" said Mr..
Ellington, ito see a man on the ele-
waited road offer his seat to a woman
when he is about to get off; he has
perhaps let her stand in front of him
for blocks, and now when he is about
to give up his seat anyway he makes
a show of giving it to her, a curious
exhibition Of about three-quarters con-
ceit and the rest cheek. Usually the
woman pays no attention to this man;
she takes the seat without thanks,
without taking any notice of the man
whatever. But occasionally there is a
variation of this incident. Sitting in
an end corner seat, by the door, was
a tired man, who, in a crowded car had
kept his seat seemingly because he
thought it was right that he should
if he had thought it out at all-but
who now when he was about to leave,
wanted to have the right person get
the seat he was leaving. With this
idea in his mind and not with any con
ceit of gallantry, he, when he had
risen, touched the sleeve Of a young
woman who had been standing by the
door on the other side of the car OPP
posite to him, to indicate to her that
here was a seat. He was slow about
this, with the slowness of one tired,
or unaccustomed to asserting himself,
and while he was stepping forward a
small boy who had been standing by
the door slid in back of him with boy
ish celebrity and took the seat. And
he kept it."-New York Sun.

Grnde Hors.


Good grades are much more reliable
breeders than are crosses and are to
be preferred. The native stock has the
vigor Of constitution, which is always
necessary, and has no inherited pre-
potency to develop in any certain
direction. When mated with a pure
blood, the result is usually an animal
with the vigor of the native ancestor
and the characteristics of the pure
blood parent shown in its better form
and fattening qualities. Succeeding
crosses in the same direction strength
en- this tendency toward improvement.
The great objection to grading up"
in this way is the fact that, no matter
how fine specimens the animals may
be, they can never be sold as pure
hloods, and an animal which is a grade
will never sell for breeding at as high
a price as will one which is of pure
blood and entitled to registration. The
man who intends to follow hog raising
as a business. even If he does not keep
more than a dozen animals. will find
it both profitable and economical to
buy a pair of pure-bloods, and then
make his entire drove pure-bloods as
soon as he can raise enough desirable
animals. By buying a young boar and
a SOW already in pig by a boar not re-
lated to the one purchased, the boar
can be used on the offspring of the
| pure-blood SOW as we'll as upon the
grades or natives in the herd, and in
this way the pure-bloods can be in
be no need to keep the grades. The
hog raiser should certainly use a pure
blood boar, and it will usually pay to
buy a new one each year, SO that in
breeding may be avoided. Pure-blood
hogs are not necessarily expensive.
They pay best in the end, and so are
more profitable than either crosses or
grades. Good animals, though not the
best, of any Of the standard breeds can
be purchased for from S. to $40 each
when weaned, while young sows in
pig can be bought for from $40 to $40.
OF course older animals which show
specially fine qualities will cost more,
and their better qualities will often
make them the more profitable in the
end. Breeders who have established
regulations as producers Of exception
ally fine animals usually receive much
higher prices than those named above
but often a man who raises hogs fol
production Of pork only, and who does
not care for a reputation as a breeder
will sell good breeding animals for lit
Tracy.
