The day had been one Of mishaps for the Con-
stitution from early morning. Yesterday after
noon the big sloop had been stripped Of her
rnainsaiI which had given such satisfaction
that it was selected for her racing sail, and
new one was bent this morning This one gave
q little trouble, and when set did not hang as
neatly as the one it had replaced. The re-
rnainder Of the morning was devoted to the

respects the most noteworthy ever sailed on
fresh water.
The Erie covered the distance in hours. 10 min

the latter by forty-ive seconds elapsed time. It
pronounced by old vessel men be the pretti-

speed championship OF the Great Lakes. the Erie
won about 100000 for those who bet her.
The Erie made preparations for the race.

LARGE DIPPING PLANT.
Texas Has n Cattle Bath Which, for
Size and Effectiveness, Is With
ont an Equal.

The government bureau of animal
industry has recently, through a Sc
ries of experiments, solved an impor-
tant problem bearing upon the health
of cattle. 1t is the establishment of
large dipping vats in the center of
the stock raising districts oil Texas
and the south for immersing cattle
in a chemical solution which effectu-
ally destroys parasites infesting their
skin. When cattle from a diseased
territory are to be shipped into a nom
infected district it is important that
they be freed from all pests. The
best and only remedy has now been
found to pass the cattle through a

BIG TEXAS DIPPING VAT.

disinfecting bath, or, as it is termed,
to dip" them. Dipping" infected
cattle into a saturated solution of sui
phur in extra dynamo oil will destroy
all parasites.
Recently the Fort Worth Stock
Yards company built large dipping
plant and placed it at the disposal of
the bureau of animal industry, where
the first demonstrations have been
carried out. One of the problems in
regard to the bath was to find a
chemical oil which would not have an
irritating and heating effect upon the
cattle. For this purpose a number of
samples of various lubrieating oils
were examined, and one of light spe-
cltic gravity, called extra dynamo, was
selected.
A train load of 311 cattle was
dipped in a large vat of the stock
yard IN July last. These cattle were
raised and bred in Texas, and were
infested with Texas fever parasites
at the time of the dipping. The
weather, which had been remarkably
cool up to this time, suddenly changed
to intense heat, and, it being desir-
able not to expose the cattle to the
sun Immediately after the dipping,
they were not passed through the vat
until after sunset. BY II o'clock at
night all had gone through without
a single accident, and they were at
once loaded on clean cars. bedded
with hay and shipped to Rockford, III.
OF the 81 cattle all save four ar
rived in good condition at their des-
tination. The casualties were princi-
pally caused by extreme heat during
the first day of travel and the con-
fnement incident to shipment. A
careful examination showed that not
a single parasite had survived. Most
of the cattle showed absolutely no
indications of having been dipped, the
skin being soft and flexible in all
cases.-N. Y. Herald.

MEMS GARB FOR WOMEN.
DIR. Mary walker Insists That Pres
ent Feminine styles Are I'm
henIthful and Immoral.

DR.. Mary Walker for well-nigh As
years has preached dress reform for
women. Her ideas, as much as her pc
culiar adoption of male attire, have
made of her a national character. She
is now past GO years of age, but is
more than ever committed to her
ideas.
In a recent article published by the
Chicago American she advocates the
adoption by women of male attire for
the following reasons:
Did you ever watch Flora MacFlim-
sy stepping on or off a car? Could
there be anything more grotesque? ?
As the car approaches she grabs fran
tically bunch of dry goods which has
trailed for blocks behind her in the
mud. Swishing them about her until
she has bound up her knees as if in a
wise, she essays to step into the car.
But the yards of lingerie and dress
hamper her. It requires the greatest
effort to mount the step. 1t is often
times accompanied with the sacrifice
of her expensive costume.
The other day as l left Broadway
car behind a Flora, I inadvertently
stepped upon her ladyship's train. The
rip of the sheeny silk brought terror
even to me. She glared at me fero-
ciously.
II will pardon you," said, "for TAX
ing up so much room; it seems hardly
necessary that you should have dry
goods roll trailing behind you"
Bind your waists in steel splints and
what happens? Congestion of the
stomach and intestines. Congestion
begets inflammation and the latter ex-
citement of the part infiamed.
In my common sense attire I can
travel faster than any other woman.
My form of dress has to overcome a
lighter atmospheric pressure, less spe-
cifc gravity.
l can swing in and out of car in
less time than it takes Flora MacFlim-
sy to gather her skirts daintily.
There should be no sex in dress. A
woman should not be forever pro-
claiming as from sign board: 81 am

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
| Take an Air Bath Every Morning and
Every Night for the Benefit of
| Muscles and Lungs

Two baths, say the newest health
authorities, should be taken every
morning.
For no less important than the tub
bath for the body is the air bath for
the lungs.
Perhaps you have never taken an
air bath and mistakenly fancy that
it may be necessary to turn yourself
inside out to accomplish it.
On the contrary, the directions are
extremely simple.
You need no apparatus and it takes
but moments time and very little
effort
Every night the lungs become filled
up with impure air and more or less
! poisonous gases. A person may go
all day without ridding his lungs of
these impurities. Therefore it is as
important to battle the lungs every
day as the body.
Few people know how to breathe
correctly. The lungs are not filled by
merely expanding the upper portions
of the chest and raising the shoul-
ders. The entire front of the chest
should be forced out as one inhales.
There are a number of exercises for
expanding the chest which YOU can
| practice in your room as well as in
gymnasium. A doorway will serve
as well as the most complicated gym
nasium apparatus. A narrow door
way is preferred. Stand directly un-
der the frame and place the hands
! fnt the Innrra uinfr ha 1f
the fingers coming at the height of
the shoulders. Walk through the
door without removing the hands un-
| til you are arms length away. This
draws back the shoulders and brings
the important chest muscles into
play. Try this for Is minutes every
night and morning. 1t will help to
wake you up when you rise and help
you to get to sleep quickly when you
go to bed.
Another plan is to expand the chest
the same way before an open win
dow. Stand about foot back from
the window, placing the hands on the
window frame on either side at the
height of the shoulders. Without
moving the feet, let the body swing
forward as far as possible and return
to perpendicular position. Prac-
tice this about 90 times night and
morning at intervals of ten seconds,
Another exercise bath for the arms
and lungs is to stand with the heels
together and take n deep breath.
Then stretch one arm backward and
upward, then the other, meanwhile
moving the body backward, forward
and to the sides while expelling the
breath alowly.-N. Y. World.

Windmill Power In Cbcan

A windmill will pump water for
stock, irrigation and all other pur-
poses; it will turn the wheels of the
mill; it will wash, churn, turn the
grindstone, turning lathe, cider press,
etc; it will grind bones for the hens,
saw wood, chop feed, shred fodder,
no end of the jobs it can be set to work
on if properly harnessed. Without a
single exception the windmill is the
cheapest power nature puts into the
hands of man. Every farm should
have a good, standard made windmill

FEEDING SOAKED CORN.
When Combin d with Good PasturaEe
1t Affords an Ideal summer
Ration for Pigs.

There appears to be quite differ
encc in the opinions of breeders in re-
gard to feeding soaked corn TO the
spring pigs during the summer time
when running on the pasture and at
a time when the old corn is hard and
sometimes difficult for young pigs to
eat. | have a decided preference for
soaked corn, getting the best growth
and better results than from feeding
the dry corn. My plan is as follows:
get two barrels that will hold water,
and then pour in one the quantity of
corn that [ wish the pigs to eat during
the next SO hours time, then | add to
the corn clean water until it is covered
some three inches, leaving it to soak
for sc hours. then commence feeding
from the first barrel, and at the same
time fill the second barrel, which will
be ready to commence on when the
first is fed out. After the first is fed
out, clean the barrel and fill it as be-
fore. This is a clean, easy digested,
wholesome food. The corn has lost
nothing by the operation, only the
heated or burning feature of it, which
is injurious to all young, growing
stock when fed to any extent. You
can feed this kind of food without
danger of splashing it over You, which
is not the case with slop made from
mill feeds, which not only gets on
your clothes, but the pigs as well in
feeding. This manner of feeding will
make rapid growth, and when on good
pasture complete ration.-J. G. True
blood, in Swineherd.
