Keen the Pastures Well Stocked.


II you are fortunate enough to have
good pasturage land you can put al
most any kind of stock on it and they
will pay profit; but if there is some
pasturage land on the farm that is
poor, or even bad, which If oftentimes
the case where the country is rocky
and hilly, what is the matter with
stocking it with sheep?
In such pasturages as these the sheep
are very near to their natural state,
and SO there is no reason why they
should not do well on such land. And,
in fact. experience has taught us that
they do.
1t is an unfortunate thing there are
so many of these unused pasturages in
this country that are lying idle, and
yet, with the aid of sheep. they could
be made a very profitable adjunct to
any farm.-New York Weekly Witness.

Trinos That Toll.


1t il in small things that dainty
woman is always conspicuous; the lit
tie things that appear unimp ortant to
the careless woman. the well-dressed
and dainty woman regards as vital.
A soiled collar-ever % slightly soiled
"a crushed ribbon, an absent hook or
button. or a conspicuous pin has been
known to spoil the entire effect Of an
otherwise perfect toilet.
Another unforgivable offense In the
ethics of the fastidious woman is the
wearing of cheap fnery or imitation
jewelry or an abundance Of the latter
at inopportune times.
Shoes are another important detail;
and handkerchiefs, stockings and the
many etceteras that go to make up a
dainty appearance must each and all
receive attention.-American Queen.

The Care of the Hands.

Beautiful hands are always attrac-
tive, and, while all hands cannot be
beautiful as to form, if the hands are
properly cared for they can be made
to look very pretty. The ideal hand Is
long and delicate, the fingers are soft,
round, small and tapering, and the
nails are nicely rounded. By care and
attention every hand can be made to
resemble this ideal hand.
The actual size Of the hand. Of
course, cannot be altered, but it can be
made soft and white, and the nails can
be trained so that in a short while
the hand, however large, will be pref
ty.
At night wash the hands In warm
water, using the best quality of soap.
and after thoroughly cleansing the
skin rinse them in clear water. dry
well, and be very, very sure that they
are absolutely dry. At night rub the
hands all over with cold cream or Gu
cumber cream, and take an old pair Of
gloves that are well stretched, cut the
tips of the fingers of and slip the
gloves on over your greasy hands. A
few nights of this treatment will do
wonders. In the morning wash your
hands in the usual way, and as you
dry them push back the skin around
the edge of each nail. Presently lit
tie crescent will appear. To prevent
the skin growing up the nails and
again covering the crescent, rub the
skin with lemon juice; but If you re-
member to push the skin back every
time you wash your hands, this will
not happen.
Let the length and shape Of the nails
follow the formation of each finger.
Once week the nails should be mani
cured as follows: Soak the finger tips
for about five minutes in hot, soapy
water, wipe them dry; then with q
little cuticle knife push the skin back
from the nails, and with curved scis
sors remove any proud" flesh. Then
shape the nails; this is best done with
a file, especially If the nails have ten
dency to break. The final touch to the
nails is given with polishing powder
and chamois.-Edna Burd, in Ameri-
can Queen.

ALI young children wear the pictur-

even in the lightweight cloths to be
generally recommended. These bon
nets are good things for winter wear.

Soft finished silks. oftenest Of the
guaranteed qualities. still continue to
be the best dress lining; only the
swishy taffeta Is passe.
The lace dresses and Swisses and
organizes for the coming summer are
particularly stylish. A favorite lining
for these is the silkoline, merceriZed
silk or satin-faced fancy cottons in fig
ures or watered effects.
Large running white figures, or mod
erately shaded backgrounds, are most
sought among the quantities Of print

Sashes, vests sleeves and pufflngS of

The latest wedding fabrics show a
decided French tendency. Large bro

heavily lace trimmed, are among the
very newest.
The high style in cotton goods all
incline to very old-timey effects-dot-
