Evening star., 1901-03-30

Zealanders have discovered how to do it.
They use their sheep to grind up turnips,
and the result is the blood which makes
meat which sells for millions of dollars.
In fact, every good chop you eat here is
half turnips. The people tell me that tur-
nip-fed sheep produce the best mutton.
In buying sheep farm the first question
asked Is whether the land will raise tur-
nips, and If so the price Is much higher
than otherwise. New Zealand has more
than 400, 600 acres of turnips. Turnip fields
are to be seen on every landscape, and
they often form a striking feature. The
crop grows luxuriantly and before the
sheep are let in it forms a bed of bright
green. Later on. when the sheep have had
their first chance at it, the green has all
disappeared and in it's place there Is an
expanse of black soil covered with white
balls set out in rows The field looks as
though 1t had been plowed and sown with
billiard balls.
You see the sheep biting the balls. They
eat them out of the ground, digging away
until every root has disappeared. In some
cases the turnips are dug up by the farmer
and fed In tie pasture 10 the sheep.
The Question of Wages.
Labor is high in New Zealand and every
thing is done to cut down expenses. On
the large estates the sheep are kept in
enormous fields. so that a few hands suf-
hee to care for a large flock. The shep-
herds put In about ten hours, except at
harvest time, when they work from day

DRESSING THE HAND.
Many Novel Features in Gloves for
Spring Wear.

Many Novel Features in Gloves for
Spring Wear.
White gloves have been in regular fash
ionable standing for twelve years now, and
by all signs and omens for reading the
future they are good for another dozen
years of modish patronage. Very heavy
cream-white dogskin gloves are the choicest
dress for the hands in the morning. These
boast one button, not Of the patent clasp
variety, and because they are Of the shape
and color and easy wrinkled fit of those
worn by the smart Jehus who adorn the
boxes Of handsome private carriages they
pass under the very descriptive title Of
coachman's gloves.
There is a gun metal gray glace glove,
stitched in white, or silk of the same shade
as the kid. and fastened with large silver
buttons that struggles with some success
for recognition among the well-gowned
shoppers, who call them coaching gloves.
In reality they are meant for wear on the
box seat Of a trap, and because every wo-
man does something more or less athletic
these days, the morning gloves are as loose
as the skin on a high-bred dogs back.
For afternoon and evening the spring
modes in gloves have novel features. Pure
white and very thin suede. embroidered
elaberately in black or color. is Of the
novelties novel. Embroidery Is considered
especially appropriate on the long gloves.
The needlework begins at the back of the
hand goes wreathing gracefully around the
arm and flowers out in petal-shaped edg-
Ing at the end, somewhere in the region Of
the shoulder. Some brave spirits are ex-
plotting with their black evening gowns
long black suede gloves brilliantly embroid-
cred in silver, into the mesh of which an
occasional rhinestone is woven.
With black gowns 1t Is not at all out of
the way to wear gants de suede In gun
metal color enlivened by a dazzling row of
rhinestone buttons set in gun metal frames
and running from the wrist nearly to the
shoulder. White gloves Of this same type
have been seen with little round bullet tur-
quoise buttons, and on the arm bracelet
or two is worn just to show the glitter of
the jewels against the dusky kid surface.
With shepherdess straws and posey mus
Inns long black or white embroidered mitten
gloves will be worn when summer luncheons
summer morning dances, etc, begin. These
mittens are woven in reality of very stout
black silk thread, and then, in fanciful de-
signs, wreaths and points and circlets Of
black lace are Judiciously applied. The top
Of the mitten is made fast by two straps
of black satin ribbon to the shoulder and a
halt thumb Of net holds everything firm
about the hand. In our midsummer when
gloves in the evening seem intolerably ..ot
and yet, with dancing gowns Of Swiss or
organdie, every woman wishes for some
covering for her arms, these mittens are
not only useful, but highly ornamental and
display white hand and brilliant rings to
the greatest advantage

Frequency OF Earthquake Had q
Tendency to Bore Him.
From the Boston Globe.
II was in San Salvador, staying with an
American friend" said the returned tour
list, when one summers night, as sat in
a chair on the veranda and he reclined in a
hammock. there came a rumbiing and a
quaking. I instinctively knew it for an
earthquake. but said to my friend:
Jim. aren't we in for a calamity of
some sort?
"'oh. guess not was the lazy reply.
"'But that was a shock, wasn't it.?
"I guess it was'
"'Hows the house"
Pretty solid No need of Worrying
"There came second shock after min
ute and that veranda wobbled around un-
der it till my head swan. I heard the
servants running and yelling, and 1 was
pretty thoroughly scared as said to Jim:
Don't you think we'd better get out
into the garden. where all is clear?'
Not yet The ground out there might
open and swallow u.s.
But another such shock will bring the
house down over u.s.
Hardly. That's only the second shock.
fourth will be a buster. If there is one,
We'll take a walk in time
1.-The third shock did make things rattle
The house seemed to be picked up and
~
but frightened to death, as said:
Don't you think it is time to move,
Jim"
Not yet; may not be another shock,
and we must keep our dignity before the
natives. Just listen for far-off roaring
in about two minutes we caught it and
left the veranda for the garden, and we
were only clear of the house when it col
lapsed with every other building on the
place. The earth heaved up as If rolling in
waves. and as l was flung down 1 seized
the grass and held on. The shock was over
In minute, and as I sat Hp called out:
For Gods sake Jim, is this the Iast?'
Sure, Mike! he laughed. We never
have to exceed four shocks at once
And is the house destroyed?
Teetotally busted, as you see.'
And what-what-
oh. nothing! he interrupted It's a
derned nuisance, Of course. but I've got to
go to work and build up again. It's the
seventh time, and enough to bore a man.
but let's look for the whisky and then find
a bush to sleep under. Why can't things
let feller alone when he's dog tired and
half asleep?"
