and contours demand different Golf

more or less classical arrangement
eminently becoming to a certain type
of woman possessed of pretty, round
ed head and hair preferably with a
natural wave in it and worn with

constructed many of us who during
the past half decade have deliberately
violated all these good intentions by a
ruthless scraping up Of our hair to the
summit of our heads and so deliberate
ly courted failure.
Inevitably, and rightly so, is there
much weeping and wailing and gnash-
ing of white teeth among those some

scribed knot in the nape of the neck.
There is no denying that q high knot
adds several cubits to n curtailed

otherwise lacking. Indeed, this is
case in point in reference to more

tails of la mode, ever lenient before

Anyone having small amount of
meat to smoke and not caring to de-
pend on the neighbors' smokehouse
can build one himself without use of
hammer or nails. Simply take an old
Eogshead and saw a hole near the
bottom for stovepipe to enter. Get
an old cast iron teakettle and cut a
hole near the bottom for draft. Now
procure at least five lengths Of stove
pipe, ten better; less than five will
burn the meat. Set your hogshead at
least two feet above the level of the
kettle. Fill the latter with kindlings,
including some hickory wood and cobs,
and place the elbow of pipe over the
top Of the kettle. Start fire and hang
your hams in the hogshead. The
damper should be used when fuel is
put in. This will do the work. l have
used it for years, and find it practical.

a War Against wrinkles.

Wrinkles are the principal witnesses
TO age. A person may have hair nearly
or quite white, but If the skin is fair
and smooth, they will look what they
are, prematurely gray. But you do not
hear of people being prematureiy
wrlnkled, although many truly are;
yet they are spoken Of as looking old.
Many young people have disagree
able habit of frowning and scowllng,
and as they grow older the creases
formed will become fixed. Profound
meditation, deep study, worry and anx-
iety all cause wrinkles, and mostly in
the upper part Of the face. OF course
we know that face without any lines
would be eXpfessionless, but there is
little danger of any effort on our part
erasing too many; enough will remain
II we do all we can to obliterate them.
The skin in youth is not only firm but
elastic, and hence the momentary ex-
pressions, even if frequently repeated,
disappear, but In later years the elas-
ticity is lost, and expressions oft re-
peated form permanent folds in the
skin.-Wonan's Life.

Camera Shots at wild Animals.

In an illustrated article in the
Worlds Work President Roosevelt
writes of A. G. Wallihan's remarkable
pictures of wild animals. He suggests
that the camera is, in Il measure, re-
placing the rifle in the woods.
1T will be n real misfortune" he
says, ''if our wild animals disappear
from mountain, plain and forest, to be
found only, if at all, in great game
preserves. 1t Is TO the interest of all
OF us to see that there is ample and
real protection for our game as for
our woodlands. 4 true democracy,
really alive to its interests will insist
upon such game preservation, for it is
to the interest of our people as a whole.
More and more, as it becomes neceS-
sary to preserve the game, let us hope
that the camera will largely supplant
the rifle. 1t is an excellent thing to
have a nation proficient in marksman-
ship, and it is highly undesirable that
the rife should be wholly laid by. But
the shot is, after all, only part of the
free life of the wilderness. The chief
attractions lie in the physical hardi-
hood for which the life calls, the sense
Of limitless freedom which it brings,
and the remoteness and wild charm
and beauty of primitive nature"

why Grace Was Omitted.

A tiny girl of seven gave dinner
party the other day, for which twelve
covers were laid and that number of
small maldens sat down to dine. 1t
was q real little girls dinner, and the
little hostess herself presided, sitting
at the head Of the table. She had been
very anxious, in looking forward to
it, to do everything as it should be
done.
Mamma" she asked, "shall We say
grace:"
No" said mamma, sit will be a
very informal dinner, and l think you
need not do that"
That meant one ceremony the less
to be gone through and was relief.
But the little lady was anxious to have
all her guests understand it. So, as
they gathered about the table, she ex-
planned:
Mamma says that this is such an
informal dinner that we need not have

Two College Graduates' Laundry.

A successful laundry run on scien-
tific and economical principle5 is that
taken in hand by two college womea at
Brookline, in this State. The clothes
are dried in the open air whenever
possible, on large sunny grass plot
over against the park. The washing
and ironing is carried on in large,
well-ventilated and clean-kept build
ing, built by the owners of the laun-
dry, the Misses White, and that is
not only well aired, but filed with
sunshine. One Of the reasons why
clothes from common laundries are
so disagreeable to the sense of smell
is because they are either steam-dried
in !ll-kept rooms or on lines in back
yards hemmed in by other buildings,
when the clothes lose the whitening
and sweetening effects of the sun.
The work in this model laundry is d.
vided between men and women. The
foreman carefully experiments to find
just what chemicals and how much Of
them can be used in the removal of
stains without injury to fabrics. Near
ly all the ironing is done by hand,
and hand-work shows to as much ad-
vantage in ironing as in other pro-
cesses. There are many varieties Of
helps in ironing, special boards for
bosoms, cuffs, sleeves, etc., and here,
to, the preferences Of patrons as to
high or low finish on collars, ETC.,
heavy or light starching for various
fabrics, and for various uses-all these
things are taken into consideration.
1t is evident that the laundry deserves
to succeed, and 1t is doing so having
run now for three years, and gaining
sure foothold.-Springficld Mass)

Timely Seed-Saving.

If certain fine specimens of favorito
flowers have been allowed to ripen
their seed for next seasons planting
don't neglect them until late in the
fall, and then expect 10 secure them
all at once. 1t should be remembered
in gathering the seeds OF ANIMALS that
it is necessary to study the habits
Of the different varieties, or many Of
the seeds will be lost. Take the
phloX, the pansies and the balsams,
for instance; If we wait until the seeds
are fully ripe we will find that there
are none when we are ready to gather
them, for they burst their capsules as
soon as they are ripe. and throw their
seeds as far as possible. By studying
the different plants, and learning their
natural methods of distributing their
seeds, We can anticipate this self-sow-
ing and capture the seeds as soon
as the pods are well formed and show
signs of maturity.

Winter Care of Poultry.

No one who does hot take an interest
II poultry can expect many eggs in
cold weather or when the ground is
covered with snow. My experience is
keeping the roosting place clean, good
shelter and varied diet. To promote
laying, feed alternately wheat, buck
wheat, oats, scalded bran sometimes
seasoned with pepper and occasionally
little corn. Onions chopped fine and
mixed with their food will promote
health, also scraps from the table; and
thick sour milk placed where they can
set it is also relished. Where milk is
not at hand keep clean water within
their reach. Crushed oyster shell and
gravel and a dust bath are necessary.
With this treatment hens will pay well
in winter.-Mrs. e. Bates, in the Epi-
tomist.

People Must Build Them.

The International Good Roads Con-
vention made a very sensible recon-
mendation at its last session. 1t was
simply that the office Of good roads
inquiries Of the Agricultural Depart
ment be enlarged into a bureau, and
the annual appropriations for its work
be increased from $4,000 to $150,000.
The amount suggested is none too
great for the Federal Government to
eXpend in encouraging good roads
throughout the country, but it is very
little the Government can do towards
giving to the respective States good
highways, beyond teaching, through
experiment, the best way to construct
and maintain them.
The people themselves, if they ever
hope to have good roads, must take
the matter up and construct them at
their own expense, either directly or
by special taxation. Neither the State
nor the National Government will OF
can render any especial assistance.
In the matter Of good roads, Ohio
furnishes the finest and most complete
example Ol any VI lne SoLnluoli"ealtho
OF the Union. Thirty years ago the
Buckeye State was cursed by the worst
roads that could possibly be found
anywhere; now she is blessed by the
very best, and what is better, they are
universal throughout the State.
These roads were constructed
through the adoption of a uniform road
tax law, which assessed the cost on
lands themselves. During the time the
roads were being built there was much
kicking and "cussing" by the land
owners, but the highways were built
all the same, and after their compile
ton no farmer would have surrendered
his road and taken back the money
he had paid in the shape Of taxes.

The Government and Good Roads.

Ihe government ana GOOu
TN country as large as that in
which we live, with the greater
part of its producing regions wide
ly separated from the markets
which they serve, the matter of trans
portation is one of vast Importance.
This applies particularly to our agri.
cultural products; for while great
portion both of our manufactured out
put and of our farm growth must be
moved long distances by rail or water
before reaching a market, practically
all of the latter must also be trans
ported for greater or less distances
over the public highways. The ques-
ton of marketing these agricultural
products, amounting in the United
States to S1,O00000,000 annually on
terms that the dealer can afford to pay
and the grower to accept, often reduces
itself to n question of cheap and quick
delivery-in other words, to a question
of economical transportation.
AS far as the railways and the steam
ship lines are concerned, this problem
has been dealt with very intelligently
and satisfactorily. Skill and money
have been applied without stint to the
provision Of enlarged means of con-
veyance, improved ways and increased
power. These influences, under the
stress of strong competition, have re-
duced long-distance freight rates to
reasonable level.
There is one phase of this transpor-
tation problem, however, which has
approached no satisfactory solution.
That Is the matter of wagon road haul.
AS has already been said, while the
greater part of our farm products
travel by steamship, canal or railway
for a portion of the journey to mar
ket, virtually all of them are conveyed
for some distance over the public high
ways. 1t is unfortunate that this is
often the most expensive part Of their
Journey. 1t has been shown by math-
ematical demonstration that it costs
more to move bushel of wheat or
ton of hay ten miles over the average
country roads Of the United States
than to transport the same burden
500 miles by railway or 1000 miles by
steamship. 1t has happened many
times in different parts of the country
that farmers have let crops go to waste
because the cost of hauling them to the
nearest market or railway shipping
point over wretched and ill kept roads
amounted to more than could be real
lied for them afterwards; whereas, If
good roads on which heavy loads could
be hauled had been at hand, the same
crops could have been marketed at
small profit to the producer, while the
economic gain resulting from their
application to useful purposes would
have been very considerable.-Hon
Martin Dodge, in the Forum.

An eighteen year-old college girl was
one of the contributors to the receipts
of the Kansas City live stock market
few days ago. Miss Mabel Whiting
Of Harding, Neb., was represented by
load containing nineteen light
weight steers of her own feeding
which sold for S5.25 per hundred
weight, making her a profit Of more
than $500. She is the daughter of L. P.
Whiting, a feeder and farmer of Hard
ing. 1t had been her ambition to 60
to college Independent of any help
from him. She had planned to teach
school last year, but, following her
fathers advice, she bought a load of
cattle and handled them herself. The
result of her experiment Is that she is
about twice as well off financially as
if she had taught school. Her father,
who was at the stock yards when his
daughters cattle were sold, was de-
lighted.
SIT isn't that she had to do it." he
said ''or really needed to earn the
money, but it's the idea that she is
capable of earning her own living If
it should ever become necessary. The
work was not drudgery, and she spent
no more than an hour a day attending
the cattle. She had the rest of the
time to herself. In the winter she
she went to nelghboring town three
times a week and took lessons in dress
making.
"In the spring 1 bought piano for
our home" said her father, "and she
has been taking music lessons all
su.Amer If she had taught school
as she had intended at first she could
not have made more than $50 month,
nearly all her time would have been
occupied, and she would have been
away from home"
Miss Whiting has entered the Wes-
1eyan University at Lincoln, Neb., as a
freshman. She started her college
course independent Of any help from
her family, and intends to pay her
way as long as she remains there.

Earrings Are Popular, and Revival OF
Bracelets is Prophesied.
Among the new things to be found In
iewelry this season are gold pins,
suited to the low dressing of the hair
in vogue at the present time. These
pins recall the big bald headed ones,
which were worn on either side Of the
big waterfall long ago, and which are
familiar to most people from engrav-
ings at least.
These new pins have heads Of more
modest size. and are connected by a
slender chain. They are to be insert
ed into each side of the knot. To Sc
cure them one Of the pins is tubular,
while the other is sharp the latter
penetrating the first as it goes through
the hair. The heads are in plain gold,
enamelled effects or set with small
jewels.
Buroque pearls continue in favor.
and are used in various ways, among
which are flower shaped heads for hat
and stickpins. These appear in dais-
les, chrysanthemums, roses, edelweiss
and the like, the irregular form of the
pearls being made an advantage in
fashioning the petals Of the flowers.
Large baroque pearls set in rose and

Pins, cuff buttons, etc., Of the sport
ing variety are made Of rock crystal
underlaid with intaglios filed in with
enamel. They represent hunting and
fishing scenes and animals heads, and
the workmanship is most exquisite.
Inlorgnette chains for fans, watches,
purses and vinaigrettes there are many
attractive designs to be found. One of
the new ones should insure good luck
unless all the signs and omens fail.
1t is set at intervals with jade, onyx,

the head of Isis, the Nile key, lotus

has pendent gems set in clusters at in
tervals throughout its length. A
charming chain is interspersed with
leafiike designs formed Of network Of

The dresslest scarfpin Is a single

sorts and kinds of pins, the quainter
the better, taking their place. A good
assortment is always shown, however.
One of the daintiest is a coiled SER
pent of enamel and gold.
More earrings have been sold this
season than for many seasons. All, of
course, are of the screw kind, or are
set close to the ear. Occasionally, a
woman, fond Of spectacular effect,
wears a stone Of n different color in
each ear. A yellow diamond and
white diamond and n white pearl and
a black one are the usual choice for
this use. There are indications that
bracelets may have revival, more
being seen this season than for some
years.-New York Tribune.

more time for It and more comfort In
doing it than in the spring. In general
we are inclined strongly to discourage
the practice Of fall pruning, especially
for the Northern States. With many
kinds of trees, cherries. for instance.
in cold situations, fall pruning is dan.
gerous and sometimes disastrous. In
extreme cases we have known strong,
healthy trees to be killed by it. In
handling grapevines and berry plants
in the North there is also the further
objection that. in case any considera-
BILE winter-killing ensues, the bearing
wood may be so much diminished in
quantity as to spoil next years crop.
If the pruning is delayed till spring
the winter-killing can mostly be seen
and allowances made for 1t. - The

Sc ed Wheat Per Acre.

At the Ohio State University and
Experiment Station they have for
many years been testing different
amounts OF seed wheat per acre. The
first experiments We're on rich bottom
land. Where they sowed five pecks
pec acre the yield was thirty-four BUSH
els, and where they put on seven pecks
they harvested thirty-seven bushels, a
gain of bushel for each peck Of seed.
1t was repeated the next year on five
duplicate plots sown at each rate. In
every case the results We're in favor
Of the seven peczs per acre, it giving
enough larger crop to more than repay
the extra cost of the seed. Tests have
been made On the same farm several
years since with varying quantities,
with the result that best crops were
obtained when not less than five pecks
or more than seven pecks were sown.
Having removed in 1892 to a farm
where the soil is less productive than
that first tested, they have found the
most profitable harvests from the use
Of eight pecks or more Of seed. In un-
favorable ieasons the best results
there have been from nine to ten pecks
of seed. While we cannot dispute the
correctness of their tests. we think
some of those who thoroughly tit their
ground get better results from less
than seven pecks than from more,
and it may depend for profit upon the
point of the comparative cost of extra
seeding or of extra labor ir fitting the
soil.-The Cultiyator.
