Animal Meal Makes Eggs.

Last fall bought n quantity OF
animal meal. AT first the hens
seemed TO care nothing about it, but
they soon got to like il. II was not
long until their combs assumed a
bright, scarlet color and they began
10 lay an unusual number Of eggs.
During the latter part Of January the
animal meal gave out, and soon the
hens lost their appetite, ana the result
was but few eggs The hens moped
about. and it seemed that there was
something ailing them. / bought an
other quantity Of animal meal and be-
gan feeding it 10 them. Their appetite
soCn returned and now they lay as
well as ever.-James l.. Stephens, in

The Woman Who Walks Well.

There is nothing much rarer than n

To Adorn Her LadyshIp.

Much ingenuity is brought to bear
on the jewelry that is now worn.
Some OF the gold is of coppery tint,
eighty years ago, and this looks very
well with pearls and amethysts. AS
a rule feminine fashions prevail, but
in ornaments women are showing n
masculine tendency, and many of
their rings are after the order Of those
worn by men.
Diamonds are often set in silver and
put on between two gold rings with
other stones in them. Cairngorms are
returning TO fashion. especially when
surmounted by enamel heart or crown.
The Colden-unted ones look beautiful
with brown dresses.
Cymric designs in gold and silver,
with touch Of color in them. are be-
ing applied in England and abroad as
pendants for the neck, as brooches,
bracelets. even buttons, and their
beauty is often enhanced by the in
PRODUCTION of opals, pearls and tur-
quoises.
tODNcDS are the new lOrn Ol
brooch, made in fine gold wire or
Berlin iron. with a jeweled butterfly
in the centre. The designers are bor-
rowing some OF their ideas from Elan
ders. Flies. bees, wasps and lady
birds form pins attached to an enam-
elled twig or a small flower; indeed,
turtles. lizards and fish even figure in
all Of them.
Very fine chain bracelets are being
worn, and scrolls of hcleysuckle in
the noveau art style add to their
beauty.-New York American.

Water For Fatteninw Lambs.

rhe value OF allowing lambs 10 get
all the water they need is shown by
tests made at the Montana experiment
station. Lambs given constant access
to water gained 9.36 pounds each per
month. while those turned TO water
but once day gained but 7.l5 pounds
during the same time. In other words
those which had plenty of water pro-
duced 100 pounds at cost of S33i.
while those given n restricted supply
put on 100 pounds OF gain AT cost OF
S4.5l.

Mayiower Descendants. Mrs. Russell
Sage will quit the organization.
Mrs Sage does not like tobacco smoke.
Since she was married, thirty-three
years ago. only one cigar. she says, has
been smoked in her house. When il was
first proposed. five years ago, that the
men who attend the annual dinners Of
the Hayfiower Society should be allowed
TO smoke. Mrs. Sage cast the only vote
against the proposition.
When Mrs. Sage. who did not attend
the latest dinner at Delmonico's on Fri
day night because OF the illness Of her
husband. heard OF an incident that took
place then she determined to permit her
membership to lapse. Judge William
W. Goodrich. who presided. said that "as
the lady who objected TO smoking at the
last dinner was not present" he thought
that the gentlemen might light their CT
gars.
Several women, Mrs Sage says, were
compelled to leave the dinner on account
