A BLACKsM1TH's STORY.

Goodland, Kan, Dec. 23.-N. E.
Albertson, local blacksmith, had al
most decided to give up his shop alto
gether on account of Rheumatism
which had crippled him SO that at
times he could not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so
sore that he couldn't sleep ut night.
He had suffered for years, but was
getting gradually worse till at last
he had about made up his mind to
give up. But just then he heard Of
some wonderful cures of Rheumatism
by Dodd's Kidney Pills and thought
he would try for cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not trace of Rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up and
Mr.. Albertson may be seen there any
day had at work as if nothing ever
allied him.

FEMININE FANc1Es.
Finish on the Up to Date
COatume

Heavy lace boleros with sleeves are
worn with untrimmed silk waists and
can be bought in the shops all ready for
use.
Brochee mousseline is one of the
fashionable fabrics for evening gowns.
Long chains of every kind and de.
scription are still very much worn, and
they have various uses. One of the
novelties is gun metal and gold chain
in alternating links, and to this is sus-
pended one of the little gun metal mir
rors which reflect the entire head in
miniature. It is useful little trinket,
now that women are obliged to remove
their hats at the theater, says the New
York Sun.
The new chinchi.la muffs are made
with the strips running crosswise,
(which gives them the effect of musk
.melon.
A delicate perfume for the gown is
made by dropping little lavender in
to boiling water and holding the gar
3ment over the steam.
Fancy buttons are seen on some of
the new gloves, and if you would have
the modish thing, wear gun metal col
1ored suede gloves with rhinestone butt
tons, with your black gown.
Old-fashioned canoes set in gold
make stylish belt pin, brooch for
the neck, or scarf clasp, one or all.
Cameo bracelets are transformed in
this way, producing three useful arti-
lcles.
The fashionable woman seems to
find use for any number of uncut gems.
It is one of the seasons fads to have
buckle, brooch, cuff buttons, pendant
and umbrella handle to match, and for
these turquoises, sapphires, amethysts
md moonstones are employed.

Light and Proper Consteuction
NJ. j X ssAsa - o1s.the Stalls. !

a 4AyOA 1Sb g a new CaEu III m1uus tutS
winter IS: the time TO read up the sub
ject and get ideas. Here are few
4Aints:s e'#
y Have plenty Of light and air. In the
past barns have not had enough OF
either. The large amount of ammonia
id y horse stable makes 1t get foul
quicker than COW stable. Two cubic
feet Of air space per pound of horse,
one cubic foot per pound Of cow is
plenty NIB
The ideal place for a horse is the
box stall, but where there are many
horses this would take too much room.
aBox&stalls should have four or six
inch board projecting all around the
sides and on the door, about three feet
from the floor, to keep the horses from
scrat itching their tails. A very small
box stall is not as safe as the ordinary
stall. It should be at least 10 by IL
feet and IA by 16 is better.
A box stall is always desirable for
a valuable driving horse, sick horse
or a mare in foal. For most horses the
ordinary stall must be used. They
should face away from the windows to
avoid the direct rays of light in the
horses eyes. and to keep the drafts Of
air from striking their heads.
The stalls should be eight feet long
where the horse stands, and at least
four feet ought to be left for q pas
sage behind the stalls. The latter
should be four or six feet wide. If
five the horse is apt to get cast. In
four-foot stall big horse may hit
his hips, and six-foot stall is more
comfortable because the inmate can
lie down and rest at ease. You are mis-
taken il you think that just because
horses cannot talk they don't like to
be comfortable.
For heavy farm horses It is best
to have the floor pitch towards the
front, so as to rest their back muscles
by throwing the weight more in front,
but this cannot always be arranged.
AS near level as possible is the most
practicable. It is better to absorb the
urine than to run it off.
Never bore holes in the floor for this
purpose, for the cold air would come
up right under the horse. Stone makes
poor floor for a horse stall-it is
SO hard and cold unless great deal
of straw is used. Asphalt is rot as bad
as stone, and can be used, but there
is nothing better than wood. The soft
er woods are better than hard, which
become slippery for horse when get
ting up. White elm is soft, wears well,
and is not slippery, and is hence very
good for the purpose. 1t is better
than hemlock.
Abundant fresh air is as necessary
for the health of horses as of men.
But beware of drafts in winter, espe-
cially from overhead hay shutes. High
hay racks are poor things anyway, as
they necessitate an unnatural position
and may cause weak knees.-Farm
Journal.

Ia LITTLE JRwEIED BAo.


I Not back in the 1880 days was the
hand bag of more prominence il
woman's dress than now. Then, ID
that budding Victorian era, dress
skirts were SO skinny that there was
no room for q pocket; now they are
scant again, and the tiebacks Of win-
ter absolutely, forbid the excrescence
Of pocket anywhere, says o dress
exchange.
To reach pocket in the back
breadths is such an ungraceful~ act
that women hesitate to perform it
In public; to carry pocket. in the
side is not always possible and never
pretty, as it gives her q lopsided
look. The pocket in the petticoat
is absurd and the little jacket pocket
is useless. So to the hand bag she
is driven.
The new bags are some of them
gorgeous in color and exquisite in
texture-and in price. You can really
pay anything you wish for hand
bag. A jeweler' just compiled one
for one of the Vanderbilt ladies'. It
was in Louisine silk Of q blue green
color. The shape was oblong, about
foot by five inches in width. Around
the lower edge of the bag there was
an applique of cloth of gold of the
kind which Louis NJ. loved so we'll.
The remainder of the bag was
gemmed with the jewels put on SO
that they formed an immense rose
with leaves and stem. The price was
so discouraging to the woman OF
average purse that it is best not to
tell it.
Neat little hand bags can be made
ut home. If there is gold clasp
in the family it can be attached to q
little silken bag made in any shape
desired. The work of fastening on
the clasp should be done carefully to
give a neat appearance. The inside
can be in q contrasting color. A
bag of violet satin to match or con-
trast with tailored suit is very
pretty. Let the outside be studded
with steel nail heads or with silvered
ones or nail heads of gold. The lin
ing should be gorgeous orange satin
and the initial is worked inside the
bag, not outside.
| Very long chains can be wound
twice around the arm or the chair,
can be worn around the waist to sort
of dress up the belt. The wardrobe
of winter-if one would be very be-
comingly attired always-should in.
clude not one bag alone, but dozen.
Let them be of all shapes and in all
sizes and OF every color that will go
well with the costume. The lining
may be very gay, indeed, and should
show a vivid contrast to the com
paratively sober outside.

cover it the pasture will be more
productive. Pastures frequently be-
come exhausted by the constant graz

application of fertilizer will not only
renew them but largely increase the
