Padding.

Padding is by no means a fair trick,
yet if the artifce must be INDUCED in
it should be done with conSummate skill.
Few painfully thin women realize that
the figure to look natural needs as much
to be padded under the arms as across
the front Of the bust. The corSets of an
actress which give the wearer a re-
markable nauralness are supplied with
crescent shaped pads or rather quarter
moon shaped ones. The pads are filled
with white curled hair or swans down
and have removable fitted covers of thin
white batiste The covers are each
finished with three pieces Of baby ribbon
a quarter of a yard long, tackled by the
center of the ribbon to the ends and the
middle of the crescent at its upper edge.
The ribbons pass through eyelets worked
at corresponding places near the upper
edge Of the corset. II is understood that
the inward curve of the pad is upper
most. When the corset is fastened, the
natural bust is supported and slightly
raised by the pad, instead of being in
the least compressed. 1t is clever arti-
fee so cunningly contrived as to make
decolete gowns possible to women who
had despaired of ever wearing them. In
cutting the pattern two crescent shaped
pieces are used. The under one is small
and fiat, and the upper one, which is an
inch larger all around, is rounded over
the filling by means of a curved seam
down the center.

Rest Market Chickens.

+. II. Spragde, prominent Chicago
commission merchant, in a paper on
Poultry Raising" before the Illinois
farmers institute, said: "The best
kind of chicken for the market is a
plump fowl with yellow skin, such as
the Plymouth Rock. Wyandotte, Light
Brahma, Leghorn or, in fact. almost
any chicken with light feathers. Stock
of this kind dresses out yellow and al

With deeds Of high resolve their sails would fill
With kindly love and heavenward shape their

The mouseIseeper,s Responsiblllty.

Unless a housekecper is employed
there are many duties the supervision Of
which must fall upon the housewife
The regular care of the refrigerator and
the scalding of the boxes for cake, bread,
etc, are among these. Once a week is
often enough to wash the refrigerator if
ordinary care is given to the articles
stored in it. Excepting in iceboxes hav
ing entirely separated and guaranteed
divisions, no fish, cheese, cabbage or on
ions should be kept in the general re-
frigerator. Their flavor will not only in
feet the other foods and give an odor to
the box, but will spoil the milk, butter
and gelatin preparations. In cleansing
the refrigerator the shelves should be
removed to the large dishpan and wash
ed in hot soapsuds, in which pinch Of
soda has been dissolved. Then they
should be thoroughly rinsed in cold wa
ter and wiped dry. Everything should
be removed from the icebox, and the
sides should receive the same attention.
1t should be left open until perfectly dry
and cool before replacing the ice and
foods in it.

Black MinOrcas For Utility.
| breed Black MinorCas for number
of reasons, among which are utility,
beauty and commercial value. place
utility first because my experience has
demonstrated that there are few bet
ter utility fowls than the Black Mi
norca. especially as now bred. First,
they certainly excel in egg production
any other fowl, as they lay as many
eggs as and Il much larger egg than the
Leghorn. The size and beauty of the
Minorca egg are certainly very attract
i've to the eye, and their large size
makes them very much in demand for
market. Then, too, the Minorcas have
been advanced in size very much in
the past few years and for table fowl
are growing in favor right along. Fan
ciers are no longer satisfied to breed
Leghorn-Minorcas. but want them up
to standard weight and above to be at
all satisfied, until now we see on eXhi-
btion Minorcas much above the re-
quirements of the standard as to
weight Neither the fancier nor his
customer will be satisfied with fowls
which fall below standard require

Volunteers SOON TO RETURN

Their Places In the Philippines VIII BE
FILLED By Regulars From Cuba.
Special correspondence Of The Florida Star.
MANILA, May 9.-Preparations for
or American volunteers now in service
throughout the islands are much in ev-
idence. Large stretches OF land adjoln-
ing Manila and lying near the bay are
being leveled and drained for the pitch
ing OF the tents OF the eastward bound
bluecoats, most of whom will be mobi-
lied here. Additional docking facili-
ties for the tieet OF transports required
to accommodate the soldiers are being
arranged. and the war department Of
fcials are confident that but little con-
fusion or delay will attend the embark
Ing OF the men.
The time set for the disarmament OF
the volunteers is June 80. 1901. The
problem now confronting the authOri-
ties Is how to get the 81 900 soldiers OF
that army away from the Philippines
before the date named and Falieve
them with troops from the regulars"
without loss OF prestige and without
material disturbance of the present
military organization. The districts
surrounding Manila will be inadequate

quence many Of the men will probably
sail from IlOilO. The plaza in the mid
die OF that city is we'll adapted for en-

posed To maintain an army OF 10000

drawing on the troops stationed in Gu
ba and in the United States. The army
