or and high Winds.

New York, Dec. 5.-A heavy wind storm
accompanied by rain, ard later by snow
struck New York to-day, and for
time seriously interfored with all railway
and steamship traffic, as well as with
business in general. Surface car lines. the
elevated railroads and all ferry boats
were compelled to abandon their schedules
and run as best they could. Part OF the
Third avenue elevated line was tied up
completely and the Sixth and Ninth ave-
nue trains were badly delayed The tie up
was 80 severe that even the Stock Elk
change begun to-day with an ex-
tremely small attendance. Toward noon
the snow ceased to fall, but the wind con-
tinued high and it became much colder.
The maximum velocity of the wind was -
miles an hour.
Telegraph service was much hampered
by the storm. Both the Western Union
and Postal companies reported that their
system had been badly shaken. The worst
conditions for the telegraph companies
were in New England and in the Hudson
valley, although business to the south was
somewhat delayed.
Despa tches from up the State showed
that the storm was severe In the country
districts and that the snowfall in the in
terror was much heavier than in this city.
The gale blowing across the Jersey
meadows to-day tore down eleven tele-
graph poles west of the West Hackensack
bridge on the Delaware, Lackawanna &.
Western railroad. The fast mail from the
West was caught in the mesh Of wires and
the windows on one side were broken, the
flying glass cutting one of the women
passengers. The train was delayed three
hours.

Linen Collars in Vogue.

Linen collars are once more in vogue.
They are returning to favor with the
new shirt waists. In Paris they are
seen more frequently than the stock,
which was once the favorite. Next
year the style will be as popular as it
was several seasons ago.
The collar has regular little turn
over effects finished with openwork
or embroidery peculiarly its own. The
turnover may be pointed in front; it
may be curved and scalloped, and in all
other ways initiate its soft linen or
lawn prototype.
For stout women comes a collar espe.
cially built for them. They are very
low and the essence of comfort. They
have the little turnovers also, hem
stitched or embroidered, and very fas-
cinating bits Of neckwear are they.
Those who like the little cuffs to
match are buying two collars of the
same pattern, using one for the neck,
and cutting the other in two in the
centre and thus making pair Of
dainty cuffs.

woman,s Bump OF Locality.

Why Is 1t that woman's bump Of
locality is so much more feebzly de-
veloped than a mans? asks the Balti-
more News. Put a man down on a
country road, and the probabilities are
that he will find his way wherever
he wishes to go without having to ask
at nearby farm houses for directions.
Instinct seems to guide him. Put a
woman in the same position and she
will irretrievably lose herself in ten
minutes, and have to be sought for
by resolute men for hours before she
is finally brought back to civilization.
Perhaps it is that the weaker sex
is unobservant. Even in cities many
of its members do not notice buildings
closely enough to permit them to find
their way about and certainly they
would not notice in the country the
big bum tree that they pass here nor
the haw bush that marks the intersec-
tion of the two roads there. With the
sun low in the west there are many
women who can't tell the points Of
the compass, and If they could would
not know in which direction their
homes lay. When 1t comes to noting
the details Of a costume few feini-
mines fail to observe even the tiniest
bit Of braid or the smallest bow, but
trees and houses are different, and less
interesting things, and so in a strange
town or the woods the fair travellers
lose themselves in no time, and have
to be rescued and set again upon the
path by some one with a better sense
of location than they can boast.

The Value of Salt.

We use salt every day, but many
people do not know how much salt will
do. Salt is very useful and we really
could not do without it. Some people
think salt is only used in food, but
wish to tell the reader of other ways
that salt can be used. When cleaning
fowls, meat or fish put little salt on
your fingers anc it will prevent slip
ping; salt thrown on a coal fire when
broiling steak will prevent blazing
from the dripping fat; salt as a gargle
will cure soreness of the throat; the
best thing to clean willow-ware and
mating is nothing else but salt; salt In
the oven under baking tins will pre-
vent their scorching on the bottom;
when the chimney is afire salt will put
1t out: salt and vinegar will remove
stains from discolored teacups; if bee
stlngs you or a spider bites you use
salt and soda; If SCOT tails on the car
pet salt thrown on it will help in re-
moving the spot; when you are white
washing, put little salt in your white
wash, which will make it stick; salt
thrown ON q coal fire which Is low will
revive it; moths can be kept out II
salt is used in sweeping carpets.-The
Epltomist.

Autumn Coats.

The coats of all the costumes de-
signed for early autumn are made
long enough to come more than half
way down the skirt, and the short
jacket Of last year and the year be-
fore is quite out of date. And yet,
to show how capriclous is fashion, an
immensely smart little coat is on the
old-fashioned REFER style, double
breasted and curved in at the sides.
After all, the fashion which remains
as many styles come and 60 is to
pay more and more attention to which
style is becoming to the especial indi.
vidual who is to wear 1t; and from all
present indications the winter and au-
tumn will not show any more definite
ly marked lines than did last year.

Als1and,a,s Coronation Gown.

Queen Alexandra's coronation robe,
which she was so unhappily prevented
from wearing, excited great interest
among those permitted to see it in
the shop Of the Partisan couturiere
who made it. The foundation Of the
gown is of cloth-of-gold, covered com
pletely with a transparent tulle OF a
faint amber hue, decorated with In
dian embroidery of flowers and foliage
in fine gold, picked out with pearls,
cut low and square, forms in front a
wide fold, ending in point at the
bottom. 1t is finished at the top with
a large Elizabethan collar, glittering
with precious stones. and each of the
stiff points ends in a great pearl. There
are no sleeves, their place being taken
by long wings of mousseline edged
with a design in gold falling softly
from the shoulders to the feet. The
same design, in larger pattern, edges
the bottom of the petticoat. The train
is thirteen feet in length, six and a
half feet shorter than the court robe
or mantle of red velvet lined with err
mine, which Is held to the shoulders
by clasps ornamented with enormous
diamonds. This robe, a present from
Parliament was made in England, and
the marvellous embroidery of the tulle
was executed by the native artisans
of India, but the historic gown was
made in Paris.-New York Tribune.

woMgN RANcAERs IN NEBRASKA
Success OF Two Orphan Girls in Managing
Their Own Section.

Success of Two Orphan Girls In Managing
Their Own Section.
Two Pennsylvania girls who went to
Nebraska as children lost their parents
by death, and then, after a precarious
existence spent in trying to teach
school, determined to turn farmers.
Miss Llbbie Scott and Miss Allie
Fish now own the best ranch in Blaine
County, Nebraska. In an interview
they are reported as saying:
"After carefully thinking the matter
over, we determined that school teach
ing did not bring in as much money
as we needed, and we decided to buy a
farm. From our fathers we inherited
half section of land. We each took up
a homestead Of 160 acres. In the spring
of 1900 we bought lister and twenty
four bushels of corn, and began work
by planting eighty acres. With four
horses on our lister We made the
ground fly.
"When our corn was ready to cultl-
vate, all our plans were under way.
We took our teams out at 4 in the
morning, and kept hard at work until
the sun began to get torrid when we
went in for dinner. About we took
fresh teams and started in again. We
raised 1900 bushels OF corn on those
eighty acres.
"Then we harvested 100 tons Of hay,
and now, owning but thirty head Of
70 tnI f1.n,
the stockmen and winter them.
Securing sixty head in this way,
our herd numbered ninety, but in No
vember twenty-seven of them died of
cornstalk disease OF these fourteen
were our own cattle. Then We took
200 head from another stoclSman, fed.
and took care Of them ourselves. We
kept them during the following sum-
mer and increased our herd to 400.
Fearing a drouth, we bought a
gasoline engine to run our windmill.
"The second summer we listed eigh-
ty-five acres of corn, but, on account
of drouth, got nothing. Were we blue?
Well, think We were. But we We're
not discouraged. This second summer
we put up 200 tons Of hay without any
help and the only trouble we had was
in grinding our sickles. After haying,
we began to put in improvements on
our ranch; fenced eight sections;
changed our minds about wintering
cattle, and took only 1876 head.
"Our plans for the future are to'plant
100 acres Of corn, and run a fence
through our pasture, having one for
summer and one for winter grazing.
"We have found ranch life the hap
piest, most free and easy that woman
could wish. ."-Philadelphia Public
Ledger.

Rhinoceros a woman's Pet.

Not many women have owned more
strenuous pets than the baby rhinoc-
eros which amuses Mrs. Cook, wife of
the Governor of North Borneo, a Brit
ish possession. The Governors house
is near a jungle which is filed with
wild animals. Out of this tangle of
underground a baby rhinoceros strayed
one morning to frollc in a cumbersome
fashion on the well kept lawn which
surrounds the house. Native servants
captured him without much difficulty,
and when they had tanned him pre-
sented him to Mrs. Cook. At first II
was a problem on what and how to
feed the youngster Cows milk and
an improvised milking bottle were the
solution. Sixteen quarts day was
the amount the hungry baby usually
demanded, and on it he has thrived
and grown fat This child of the jun.
gle looks very little like the full grown
Thinoceros which can be seen in the
Geological Gardens. If it were not for
his single horn, one might take him
Tor peculiar species Of hog. He is
about the same size and covered with
a shaggy coat of black hair. Mrs.
Cook completed the tanning process
begun by her servants. and the baby
rhinoceros now follows her about like

One Woman Secured a Good Effect with.
out Pictures.
One woman whose single large room
serves as sitting room as well as sleep
ing room, has made an extremely good
effect without this possession of pic
lures. What bric.a-brac she allows to
appear in her room has a definite rea-
son for being. She chooses each piece
for its color or shape which adds
much to the appearance of the room
Starting with nondescript and char
acterless' graylsh wallpaper, she has
followed the necessity for using warm
.ones, and has made great success
with small expense. Her cot bed has a
valance of dull red denim, the cover
being a Turkish striped curtain, and
one long window being curtained with
:wo more to match. Three fiat-top
trunks made delightful window seat
under a high mullioned window. the
nature of the seat being concealed by
:ed denim covers and warm colored
sofa pillows, and the same plan OF
extra bed coverings and shawls being
lsed to soften the lines. A simple
bookcase made OF pine, by "A carpen-
er, and stained with shellac tinted
with q bit of umber holds enough
books to make the room very cozy, and
quantities of pictures fill in the wall
spaces. A few portraits and rather
arge pictures were already in this
young woman's possession when she
started out to make one-room home
sor herself. From the beautifully
printed magazines of the day she chose
prints in black and colors, and framed
.hese in passe-partout. The cOlors of
lhe bindings were chosen to suit the
tones of the pictures.
Following the rule well known to
artists, that a brilliant bit Of color is
well repeated in a picture or a room,
she used her bric-a-bra to take away
any look of monotony and cheerless-
ness the room might show. The warm
reds of a Satsuma jar and some cups
on the tea table gave an answering
note to the red denim covers and val
ance, and the copper of the well pol
shed tea kettle made its whole corner

A New Phase of Co.Operation.

Why not a league of twenty or more
families in a city or large town for
joint ownership or control Of market
garden or produce farm, thereby to
save the profits of the producer and
retailer? This idea has occurred to a
professional gentleman who is a sub
scriber to Good Housekeeping, and the
estimates he has prepared go to show
that large saving would be effected,
with the present high prices of table
supplies. The originator of the plan
advocates the leasing of farm, rather
than Its ownership, to avoid the high
cost Of shares in the enterprise which
would be likely to prove a serious OBJ
stacle to its promotion. A capital Of
five thousand dollars, it is estimated,
advanced by twenty households, would
equip and start a farm of sufficient
size to furnish 'green STUFF to go
around. An effort will be made to
carry out this project another year.
