New Method for Branding.

a- Now m0G0V0 1OE 0E0UO1UBs
A New Zealand man named Gibson
has patented an, invention for brand
ing stock without injuring the hide.
The new process uses a chemical de-
pilatory which permanently destroys
the hair. The destruction OF part OF
the hide was. one OF the bad features
of the old. method, the brand appear
ing on the best part Of the skin. Glib
sons, patent will add a value Of 6 or
Z, cents at least to- every Hide to which
1t is, applied, and it is needless to add
that in countries like Australia and
New Zealand, where millions Of cattle
are raised every yeau, such an advance
jim. the price Of hides exactly meets the
desire Of the stook-owners. The right
tor Australia alone has Just been dis
posed Of for $650,Oo0l-San Francisco

About Shoe. and Stockings.

1t is the exceptional woman owa
days who wears shoes too small for
her, and so light, at that, that they are
no protection against dampness. My
lady's outdoor boots are now stout, but
not stiff. The leather OF both uppers
and soles is pliable, but almost water
proof. She has them either high or
low, as suits. her fancy and comfort,
for the American woman is fast learn
lug that she only appears at her best
when her clothes are comfortable. The
beauty Of a foot or hand was never en-
HANGED by a covering that fit too close
ly and was cramping. Everyday boots
are of all plain leather or with patent
leather. bottoms and plain, heavy
low heels and moderately wide toes.
There are the daintiest and dressiest
of foot coverings also, but these are
reserved for indoor wear. One of the
prettiest of the dressy lot of shoes is
of fine kid, and comes nearly up to the
ankle. The front is cut open across
the instep and down to just a tip e
the toe. The opening is strapped across
with black velcet ribbon, each strap
having a bow with a buckle in the en-
ter. OF course, such shoes are worn
with fancy stockings. Embroidery
plays an important part in the hosiery
of the day. There is a fancy for the
quaint little satin slipper that straps
around the ankle with black ribbons.
One dainty girl has a pair Of such slip
pers, which she wears with white silk
stockings that are all lace work at the
front. To give just the style to the
foot as the feet of the ladies of the
:sixtieth' had, one must wear white
stockings with the satin slippers, that
are tied at the ankles with crossed rib
bons. Patent leather is used more for

Calmness and Tact.

A woman may possess wealth un-
told; she may have the kindest of
hearts and the brightest Of minds, but
unless she has absolute control Of her
feelings there will be some times in
her career as hostess that she will dis
play annoyance or furry, and, the
contagion spreading to her guests, will
cause an otherwise successful enter
tainment to die out in u~ndisguised
failure.
A model hostess must to all appear
ances be made of good humor so far
as disagreeable happenings are con-
cerned. Even though a guest or care
less waiter inadvertently breaks a bit
of china which can eve be replaced,
she must smile on as though the loss
of the entire set would but emphasize
the pleasure of the evening. Her we'll
bred calm inspires her guests with a
feeling of confidence, and though in
her heart she may be very dubious
about certain important details Of her
dinner or dance, If she does not show
her anxiety everything will pass on
to a happy conclusion. A lurried host
ess or nervous host, whose counte-
nances but sadly conceal the worry
they feel, can do more toward making
the guests uncomfortable than II the
soup were stone cold and the salad
dressing were ruined by a too bounti-
full quantity of vinegar
An imperturable calm and ready
tact are the two important factors in
the making of a model hostess. Sc
ure these and you need lever fear for
the success of any of your entertain
ments.

aWeman's Chief Foe.
Worry is the father Of INSOMNIA.
Worry is fo%rethought gone to seed.
Worry is discounting possible future
sorrows SO that the, individual may
have present misery. Worry Is not one
large individual sorrow; 1t is a colony
Of petty. vague, insignificant, restless
imps Of fear, that become important
only from their combination, their con-
stancy, their iteration. Worry Is the
traitor in our camp that dampens our
powder, weakens our aim; under the
guise Of helping us to bear the present
and to be ready for the future worry
multiplies enemies within our mind to
sap Jul strength. Worry must not b
confused with anxiety, though both
words agree in meaning originally, q
Choking" or a "strangling," REFER
ring, Of course, to the throttling effect
upon individual activity. Anxiety faces
large issues Of life seriously, calmly.
with dignity. Anxiety always suggesta
hopeful possibility; 1t is active in be-
ing ready and devising measures to
meet the outcome. Worry is the DOM
nance Of the mind by a single, vague.
restless, unsatisied, fearing and fear
full idea. The mental energy and force
that should be concentrated on the
successive duties Of the day is con-
stantly and swrreptitiously abstracted
and absorbed by this one fixed idea.

IN the World.
For eighty-two years Charles How
ard was the mystery Of Okefinokee
swamp, and his death q few days ago
recalled to mind some stories Of his
life. The old man al q hermit, liv-
ing all alone in a small and dilapidated
log hut in the swamp His eccentrici-
ties were many, though he did not an
noy people. The old man was q pau
per, dependent on the county for sup
port during the past thirty years. In
his secluded life he toiled on with the
problem of perpetual motion, employ
ing an old spinning wheel as a ma
chine, with two large rats as power.
The rats were so fastened on the rim
OF the wheel that they could not get
away, and kept the wheel revolving
rapidly night and day. Once the wheel
got in motion, the rats kept running
on the rim till they expired from sheer
exhaustion. So intent was the old her.
NIT on solving the problem that he
hardly ever took his eyes of the wheel,
SNSSpSAA6S VI CVOIb0, III LIS SAuAAOSA'
The life of the rats did not exceed a
week after he put them to work on
the wheel. When one team OF rats
expired, another team was put in har-
ness. The old man would hunt rats
in such ruins as he found in the vicin-
tty of the swamp, and 1t is estimated
that his perpetual motion wheel con-
sumed over a hundred rats per. year:
When asked why he attempted perpet-
ual motion the old hermit replied:

To Improve Round Shoulders.

A simple remedy for round or stoop-
ing shoulders is to discard that over
fluffy pillow and select a small fiat one.
1t will be uncomfortable at first, but
you will like it better than the thicker
one later. Walk as erect as possible,
keeping the head up and expanding the
chest. An exercise said to be eflicacious
is to walk about the Dom with a book
on the head. If the chin can be kept
up the stoop will gradually disappear.

blossoms.

There is a quality in a woman's ma
ture that is scarcely conducive to her
happiness when fate or the exigencies
of her life demand that she shall be
much alone. Having cultivated a love
of other persons society, she becomes
absolutely helpless when she is forced
to depend upon her own Without re-
sources of entertainment in herself, she
mopes and grows melancholy, with the
result that her disposition is crossed
and she grows old before her time.
Under these circumstances it is we'll
for a woman at a very early age to
endeavor to secure enjoyment in occu-
patton. Books, sewing, the arrange
ment of her home, music, the care of
pets, all help her to enjoy hours of
solitude rather than fretting for the
unattainable in the matter of human
companionship. Ones own thoughts

A Homemade Dent.,r,ce.

The best powder that M could pos
sibly apply to the teeth is pulverized
charcoal; it cleans the mouth mechan-
ically and chemically. But as alone it
is dusty and not easily mixed with
water,i it may for this purpose be mixed
with an equal weight of prepared
chalk, and, if requisite, scented with a
drop or two of oil of cloves. Orris. root
also makes an excellent dentifrice. 1t
can be obtained in powdered form at
any apo~thecary's, and an ounce or two
scented with wintergreen will last for
