POSING FOR PICTURES.
What to Wear and What Not to
Wear When n Really Good Pho
tOgraph Is Desired

Photography as an art has attained
such a standard of excellence that no
pains are too infinite to enhance its eff
fectiveness. While the primary OBJ
ject in any likeness, is to portray the
features, the pose, the individual, yet
it cannot be gainsaid that much of our
pleasure in viewing the countenance.
however perfectly depicted, may be
seriously marred by the unhappy selec-
ton of an unbecoming gown.
1t is a mistake to wear ones richest
and most sumptuous costume instead
of one whose design, being less pro-
nounced, is. consequently, less apt to
look grotesque few seasons hence.
Certain materials are risky. to say the
least, in photograph. Satins or silks
with high luster throw lights and
shadows which are harsh and unexpect-
ed in reproduction. Translucent fab
RIGS are by far to be preferred. Softly
folding, easily draped, and not pro-
nounced are crepes, either silk or wool,
and chiffon. Tulle, nets and such lace
like transparent effects depend so
NNSh PPoA lAAC lhdlCIldlS W ulcu are
used as foundations that, in a general
way, they are to be considered as Sec
ondary in Importance, although as dra-
peries they may be styled par excel
lence. Stiff, starchy effects are to be
strictly tabooed unless it be the trans
lucence of swiss or organdie.
Stripes and large patterns in lace
or silk are failures, big brocades or
plaids something to make one weep,
especially the photographer who fore
sees demand for second sittings when
the proofs are shown. Velvet and fine
furs are especially happy selections,
and such accessories as handsome OPP
era cloak or long ostrich fan are
deemed happy adjuncts with full
dress.
Gloves should always be worn with
street toilets which include hat, but
since glace glove would be shiny, one
of undressed kid is far better. With
very light colors the hand should al
ways be lifted or placed against a
background darker than itself since
the pink dress will naturally take dark
er than the light fabric.
Jewelry adds much to an evening
dress, especially in the way of orna-
ments about the top of a low-cut cor
sage. Pearls photograph exquisitely in
made-up jewelry, in necklaces or in
long chains, which may be brought up
and knotted once or festooned from a
single ornament in front of the cor
sage.-St. Louis Democrat.

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Morning and Evening Duties Which
Should, Under No Circumstances,
Be Neglected.

IN the morning separate the hair
lock by lock and comb it from the
ends up toward the roots with a shell
comb, coarse and with teeth set far
apart. This method of disentangling
the hair prevents it from getting into
knots and breaking.
When it is thoroughly disentangled
brush it vigorously with rather
hard brush from the roots down,
brushing till the hair shines.
To disentangle the hair, as well as
to brush it, you should not attack a
mass of hair and brush it at hap
hazard. The hair must be brushed
and combed strand by strand, and
this continued all around the head.
At night, before going to bed, let
the hair fall loose, shake it thorough
ly, then brush it and braid it.
Nothing is worse for the hair than
to leave it hanging loose when one
is in bed 1t should be divided into
several strands, braided, and then let
fall, or else neatly twisted at the
nape of the neck.
This permits the air to penetrate
the hair, and at the same time pre-
vents it from breaking. The hair
should be left as unencumbered as
possible and should not be overloaded
with pins or ornaments that are too
heavy.-Chicago American.

TWO MOST POPULAR TILES

and there is not enough depth of water
TO cause the removal of silt or sedi-
ment which may accumulate. 1t is
far more difficult to lay horseshoe
tile and do good work than to lay
round tile. If the round tile does not
make tight joint with its neighbor,
it may be turned until place is found
where the joint is reasonably salts
factory. If the horseshoe tile does
not fit with its neighbor, then the SHOW
eli must be used and earth removed OF
filled in, as the occasion may require.
If horseshoe tile are used, they will
do better work if they are laid with
the fiat tile up, for then conditions as
to the flow of water are produced
which are more nearly like those
present with the round tile. When
round tile are laid it ia WE'LL to lay
a piece of common tarred building pa
per over the joint before filling in with
earth. No matter how tight the joint
is made, there is always slight open
ing, and there is possibility that soil
may pass into tee tile and obstruct
the passage. After the tile are placed
a small piece of building paper laid
over the joint just before replacing
the earth will insure against obstruc-
ton, says L. A. Clinton, among some
items of advice given in Country Cen
tleman

MY ScHOOL-DAY FRIENDS.

On journeys retrospectively,
And for the moment dwell amid the scenes

And on such outings, as a rule,

Perchance you were acquainted, too,
With many old-time friends | knew;
You may have met Ann Alysis and, also,
Ann Ellie:
Or, maybe, chummed with Algy Bray,
Or sauntered with Phil Osophy,
Or delved with Ed Cca ton, who was wont
to be so wise.
And there was Eta Mology,

And Polly Con and Polly Glot and Polly
This and That;
You may have glanced at Ella Cution,
Cast smile at Eva Luton,
Or with Ella Mentary enjoyed little chat.
Now all those friends 1 used to see
Are half-forgotten dreams to me,
Yet once within my thoughts they held a
quite important place;
But they commenced commencement

The Matusity of Hogs.

Hogs vary to an astonishing degree
as to the time in which they will ma
ture. We hear yet of breeders that
claim to have hogs that go on grow
ing till they are five or six years cd,
but of course breeding in modern
times tends to eradicate this late
maturing habit. Now most of our
swine reach maturity in little over
year and reach marketa BILE
growth in ten months OF less. For
breeding animals it is advocated that
the hogs be fed so that they will ma
ture rapidly and make their growth
during two years, it being argued
that such hogs will have more vital
ity to transmit to their offspring

THE CONSTRUCTION EXPLAINED.

handle ends of the pieces, bolt a 2x1-
inch piece on under side to serve as a
brace. Bolt this crosspiece solid at
one end, and at the other end make
several bolt holes an inch or so apart,
so that the bolt may be put in which
ever hole will hold the handles the
right distance apart to conform to
size of barrel.
Fig. 2 will help to make the construc-
ton plain. 1t will be seen that as the
handles are moved farther apart on
the adjustable crosspiece, the ends
which grip the barrel will be brought
closer together. 1t should be set so as
to grip barrel far enough up to hold it
secure, and yet not slip entirely over
barrel at its largest part. When
transporting barrel that is full of
anything heavy, the cart must be used
with little care to keep from crush
ing in the sides of barrel, and for this
reason try to have the iron pieces fit
around the barrel as uniformly as pos
sible.-Ohio Farmer.

USING DAMAGED FEEDS.
Grain Injured In Any Manner What
ever Should BE Fed Very Spar
ingly to Farm Stock,

Bleached hay or straw has not the
feeding value of hay or straw hav-
ing its normal color and strength.
Bleaching, caused by exposure to
weather, robs hay of its sweetness
and succulence, leaving a sort of
dead roughness possessing compare
lively little feeding value. This loss
through exposure to the elements
likewise very materially Injuries
grains, extracting the soluble COM
pounds contained in them and render
ing them almost devoid of nutrition.
Just now many questions are being
asked as to the ACCESSIBILITY of feed
ing grains injured in the manner in
Dictated. The answer to those ques-
tons must be general rather than
specific, as so much depends upon the
degree and also upon the nature of
the injury that no answer can be
given that will meet the needs of
every case. 1t may be said with
safety, however, that wheat or other
grain that is badly musted or mold
ed is much injured for feeding. Such
mold is quite injurious when fed in
large quantities. Of course any proc
ess that will tend to remove mold
from it will lessen the injury, but no
after treatment can make such grain
a first-class food again. Second, if
the grain is simply badly wrinkled
with the wet and discolored, it's feed
ing value for stock would not seem
to be lessened. Third, if the wheat is
small and the grains so diminutive
and uneven in size in addition to the
discoloration, it still makes excellent
food for live stock. 1t has a large
amount of bran relatively, and this
makes it safe food even when fed
alone. Damaged wheat may be fed
to sheep without being ground. For
cattle and swine it ought to be
ground. If such wheat has in it oily
seeds of weeds, its feeding value is
probably improved rather than in
jured. The oil in the seeds is slightly
laxative. But it would be easily pos
sible to have too much of this ele-
ment for the best results.-Farmers'
Voice.

The Kiowa Indians have queer mar

a wife is buying her outright, or trad
