Beautiful Emily Marshall.

"The pictures of Emily Marshall that
have been preserved" writes William
Perrine of The LOveliest Woman In
All America" in The Ladies' Home
Journal, "do not realize her beauty as
it appeared to those who knew her.
She was about ) feet inches in height,
her figure was luxuriantly delicate, her
hair was of a chestnut brown hue, and
her luminous eyes were said by some to
be hazel in color, by others black. Her
cheeks We're rosy and dimpicG. her
mouth displayed teeth of perfect white
ness, her hair was worn curled behind
the ears and held by side combs and
her features were brilliant with expires,
sion when gay or laughing thought
came over her. At one time when she
appeared ut fancy bail in the Charac-
ter of Sweet Anne Page of the Merry
Wives of Windsor and danced with
Thomas Willing of Philadelphia they
were thought to be the handSumcst
pair that had ever gracpd such an
event. When Chester Harding. the art
ist, wrote his autobiography, he con
fessed that he found ii impossible t.
satisfy himself In painting Miss Mar
shalrs portrait. 1t was impossible to
catch the living fascination of her
countenance, and he declared that the
artists skill could not be put to Il 50
verer test, for her beauty depended
much upon the expression of her ani
mated face. which when lighted mp in
conversation was bewitchingly lovely

Porto Rico BILE.

All those who believe that Porto Rico
is backward in the accessories of mod
ern civilization will now be obliged to
change their opinion of the little island.
Already it boasts of one full tiedged
woman's club.
Not to give Porto Rico more than her
due one must remember that this insti-
tuition has been organized by American
women living in Ponce.
The president of the club is Mrs.
Ruth Shaffner- Ettnier, widely k1own
as one of the organizers of the W. c.
T. Z.
Her labors for this society have TAX
en- her to all parts of the world and so
given her many chances to observe wo-
mems work under all conditions.
One is pretty safe in assuming that
nothing stronger than lemonade will be
allowed inside the walls of the new
club

Hunting Season Drawing to a Close.

As the hunting season draws near its
close, the local hunters are taking ad-
vantage of every moment. Saturday will
be the last day.
Several parties were out yesterday;bu
as far as can be learned, most of them
met with rather poor success. The most
successful ones were Martin II. Schram,
William +. Lunger and Simon Hoff-
man. They brought back eleven quail,
two pheasants and rabbit.
William T. Speiser and J. c. Meyer,
who have heretofore been among the
most successful nimrods, came back
empty. handed. On Tuesday they killed
eight quail in two hours.
Mr.. Speiser has been about as success
full as any local hunter for the season,
twice coming home with fifteen birds.
Charles Lawrence, of Mausdale, an
other good shot, has been in the field
much of the time since the hunting
season opened, and has made some good
bags.
Messrs. Lunger and Schram have been
out together several times. and usually
have returned with a good showing for
their days work. Another team" that
has worked together successfully on sew
eral days are James Scarlet, Esq, and
Arthur II. WoOllev.
A fairly good season for all kinds of
small game has been enjoyed. Quail
have been as plenty as for several sea-
sons past; but the large number of hunt
ers has kept them moving much of the
time since the hunting season opened,
and most of the covies in reach of local
sportsmen have been well thinned out.
Pheasants and rabbits have been found
in plenty in their regular hiding places;
but the birds have been more wild and
more difficult 10 get this fall than com
mon.
Several III successful attempts have
been made to get some of the birds from
the small flock of wild turkeys, that for
years have been seen occasionally on the
ridge few miles northwest of town.
The two wild cats killed by Harry
Walker and William w. Walker, are the
only "varuints" of this kind that have
been seen by local hunters

ROYALTY on the Platform.

The Prince Of Wales has humorously
confessed: when l was quite young
and had to make speech, used to
think that the platform was too large
for the room and that l was too small
for myself. Then, as rule, had very
little to say and plenty of time to say
it. Now | seem to have plenty to say,
but very little time. AS public speak
ing is duty inevitably attached to the
office Of prince | treat 1t accordingly,
and | do my best, but The serious,
earnest minded czar of Russia, who
certainly does not take life frivolously,
recently said to his royal cousin, the
Duke of York: THE position Of an en-
peror carries with 1t many hardships,
many anXieties, but of all my duties I
dread most that Of having to speak
publicly no matter how small the au.
dience. People generally expect too
much from an emperor. When l speak,
feel how little they are getting"

Cow Beer

A western paper is quoted In the
Chicago Drovers' Journal as saying
that at meeting of stockmen recently
they expressed the opinion that the
price of cows when sold for beef was
entirely too low. While nominally
classed as Gamers" many of them
served as good purpose as beef steers
and when well fattened would cut up
as well on the block as the steer If
this Is true, and we see no reason to
doubt it, it accords with what has been
said many times in our dairy notes,
shat farmers who find themselves short
OF forage this fall and have cows that
they think are so old or give so little
milk that it is doubtful if it would be
profitable to buy feed for them should
fatten and kill them. Ever since the
large packing houses have been sup
plying our markets with dressed beef
they have been trying to educate the
people to believe that COW beef was not
fit to eat. and the marketmen have
been ready to assert that they never

Sheep Hurdles.

No we'll regulated sheep farm is com
plete in all of its appointments without
the hurdle, says The Prairie Farmer.
This portable fence is an indispensable
factor in the successful and economical
handling of the flock on a small farm
or where the system of mixed hus-
bandry is practiced Many opportuni-
ties will be presented during the year
where it can be used advantageOuSly
In dividing pastures or for contining
sheep upon certain portions of field.
1t will be found quick method for
constructing pens, either large or
small, at shearing time or for docking,
tagging or dipping. In the winter sea-
son these hurdles are a great cOnven-
fence for inclosing feeding yards, lots
for exercise and small plats for subdi-
visions of the flock. A good one may
be thus made: The panel is made Of
four l by 3 inch planks, y feet long,
crossed by three pieces Of the same
size and three feet long, one being plac-
ed In the middle and the other six inch
es from the ends. The spaces between
the planks, beginning at the bottom,
are six. eight and ten inches. The
braces which are crossed for the sup
ports are four feet long and l by 3
inches in size. The sill is of ! by 6
inch stuff, the lower edge being feet
5h inches long and the upper 3 feet
10h inches long, with notch at the
middle inches deep and 2l2 inches
wide for the ends Of the panels TO rest
In. The braces should extend an inch
or more below the sill to prevent the
hurdle from rocking. In use each of
these supports serves to hold up as
well as to join together the ends Of two
succeeding panels. To prevent the
fence from being blown over a stake
should be driven about every 80 feet,
TO which the hurdle should be wired
down

A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.
1t Can Be Performed at Cost of a
Few Cents.


A curious experiment which any one
can perform at the cost of few cents is
herewith explained:
Buy an ounce of liquid sodium ANAL
gam, a sheet of aluminium costing few
cents and about six inches of stout cop
per wire. With Il file sharpen one end of
the copper wire so rs to give it the shape
of pencil. Rub Off the surface of the
aluminium plate with Il knife just before
beginning the experiment.
Dip the pointed end of the wire into
the amalgam aud after removing it. COW
cred with the liquid alloy, write or d.dw
on the aluminium plate. Dip your wire
into the amalgam from time to time just
as if you were writing with pen and INK.
Never mind the fact that your ink is Il
metal and that your pen seems to write
nothing but scratches. Finish your work
and then watch and see what happens.
The lines just traced by your pen will
suddenly assume Il dull whitish tint, con-
trasting with the brightness of the metal.
Then th5$ will rise above the metallic
surface at the rate of about one inch an
hour. In less than five minutes your
drawing will be in strong relief. You
may wipe out the white substance which
has thus sprung from the metal, but it
will develop again with the same vigor
as would some kind of mushroom gifted
with the rather abnormal property of
thriving on metallic ground.
These white formations consist princi-
palIy of alumina. The cause of their
growth is the formation of an amalgam
of aluminium in which that metal is in
molecular state altogether different from
that in which it exists in its coherent
form, Although mercury has less affinity
for oxygen than aluminium as soon as an
alloy of the two metals is made alumni
ium loses its previous chemical inertia
and undergocs slow combustion the
product of which is alumina.
Sodium plays no direct part in the reac-
ton, yet without it | found it difficult TO
get the mercury to adhere to the Alumni
um. Sodium facilitates also the adhesion
of mercury to the copper wire. The best
results are obtained in damp weather. If
the air is dry at the moment of the ex'
pertinent, results just as good will be OBJ
tanned by breathing gently from time to
time on the drawing, so as to slightly
moisten the amalgam of aluminium
