Notes of the Fashions.

This is to be a great year for neck
rufus.
Birds nests perch atop of a few of
the new hats.
The surplice nightgown is one of
the most sought new styles for sum-
mel wear.
Lingerie sashes are promised as an
adjunct Of the smartest wash gowns
this year.
Oriental laces are especially well
adapted to the present styles of hat
trimming.
The magpie craze appears in under
skirts of black and white taffeta
adorned with three little rufles in
black.
A white linen collar to be worn with
shirtwaists fastens at the back and
has a finish with a point at
the front.
Capes of the regulation style, of
bright red scarlet cloth, are the new
est idea for fair golfers for early
spring days on the links.
Upon the set of the shawl-like plat
at the shoulder, which is the chief
characteristic of the Gibson shirtwaist,
depends its style and becomingness.
Short, exceedingly short, black tat
feta jackens, stitched in white, and
their bertha-like collars embellished
with white applique. are swagger this
season.
The o D of "snap" fasteners for kid
gloves are now made in extra large
size. Some of these are as large as a
fve-cent piece, and ornamented with
a fancy design.
Three bands of a fancy silk braid
caught together at intervals and fas-
tened at the front with a small buckle
form a dainty and fashionable belt,
These belts are also to be had in bands
of velvet.

Ladle and Process Putters Hit.
Ladle goods and process butter have
been both severely hit by tine amend
ments the United States Senate has
tackled onto the oleomargarine bill.
Under this Senate amendment what is
known as "adulterated butter is de-
fined to be a grade of butter produced
by mixing, reworking, returning in
milk or cream, refining or in any way
producing a uniform purified or i'm
p4oved product from different lots or
parcels of melted or unmelted butter in
which any acid, alkali, chemical or any
substance whatever is introduced or
used for the purpose OF with the effect
OF deordorizing or removing therefrom
rancidity, or any butter with which
there is mixed any substance foreign
to butter with intent or effect Of cheap
ening in cost of product in any way.
We are not certain that this amend
ment did not come from the oleo peo-
pie. Some of them at least have be-
lieved that the funds to carry on the
fight against colored cleo have come
from the manufacturers of process but
ter, who might reasonably expect to
profit by the passage of the bill. How
ever, there is no good reason why
process butter should not be placed I'M
der federal rules as well as oleomar-
garine. 1t is perhaps a little hard on
ladle goods, which are often made from
good grades, and are reworked to get
uniformity of color and sailing.

Worms in

From Farmers Review: Referring
to YOU letter of April Z and the in
closed proof concerning worms in tur-
keys, which represents a letter from
Mr.. i. L. Phelps, l would state that it
is not clear to me from this letter what
particular worms are present. The
treatment which should be used would
vary according to the kind of worms
with which Mr.. Phelps has to deal. If
he will forward me some of the para
sites l will endeavor to give him some
information upon the subject. His two
questions can, however, be answered
without waiting for that information
l. There is no powder of any kind
which can be relied upon as a pre-
ventive against worms in turkeys.
Measures should be adopted if possible
to destroy the stage of the worm out
side of the turkey. Whether such
measures are practicable or not will
depend upon the particular conditions
at hand. If the turkeys are kept in
yards the surface of the ground may be
burned with an oil spray, or by spread
ing some straw or other material owe

greatly reduce the amount of infec-
ton. If, on the other hand, the tur-
keys roam over lar~a fields and it is
not practicable to b4rn these fields, I
see little that can be done to prevent
infection. 1t would be possible, how
ever, to treat the turkeys occasionally
and thus expel many or all of the
worms. If roundworms are present |
should be inclined to try thymol. This
is n of the best drugs known in
cases of infection with roundworms.
The dose has o been established for
turkeys, so far as 1 am aware, but it is
reported that in chickens a one-grain
dose cause the rapid expulsion of the
parasites. II the parasites in question
are tapeworms insteal of roundwoTms,
areca nut is probably as good as any
thing that can be used. This drug
has the advantage also Of expelling
some of the roundworms as well as the
tapeworms.

nut stunts the growth of animals,-D.

Liquor In Kansas.

According to the official report Of
the Ottawa, Kas., druggists, for March,
is took eighty-two gallons of whisky,
Lightweight gallons of alcohol, thirty
eight gallons of wine, fourteen gallons
of gin, twenty-three gallons of brandy,
four gallons of beer, three gallons of
ale and four gallons of malt to cure the
ills of that distressed community. The
liquor was wanted for a multitude of
diseases, ranging from ingrowing toe
nails to appendicitis.

and wealthy portion of Africa.
Already a startling and dramatic
transformation has been wrought in
the new territory. A railroad extends
from Cape Town to Buluwayo, a dis
lance of 1850 miles, and is projected
all the way to Cairo, Egypt. Another
railroad runs from the Portuguese port
of Beira, on the Indian Ocean, to Sails
bury, the capital of Rhodesis, a dis
lance of 1882 miles. Salisbury lies
northwest of Buluwayo. Between Sails
bury and Tuli, to the southeast of
Buluwayo, lies Victoria, and the dis
trict roundabout is called the garden
of Rhodesia. Great quantities of grain
are raised here, the soil being most
fertile. Gold is also found, and a num-

mated the spot among them where he
wished to be buried. His wish was
complied with, and amid the grief Of
the entire population of Buluwayo he
was laid to rest in a tomb chiseled out
of the solid rock.

Prlncesse wedding Gowns.

The clinging grace and picturesque
ness of the various princesse styles
are largely responsible for the marked
favor they command for wedding
W and elegant evening dresses.
The continuous, unbroken lines from
shoulder to skirt hem at the back in
variably impart length and slender
ness, and the fronts this season show
more than ever very youthful and
charming effects. Satin royal, creped
satin, peau de sole, crepe de chine,
chiffon over MORE, silk-warp yelling,
lace, net, and brocade are among the
fabrics most favored for princesse
gowns this year, and pretty silk and
wool fancies are employed for less ex-
pensive developments of these models.

and construct roads, railways and tele-
graph lines, and to operate for the
government a free public land system.
This territory was larger than Great
Britain. The Chartered company,
which was Rhodes, thirsted for more
territory, and Rhodes soldiers pene-
trated into King Khama's country,
swept through Matabeleland and Ma
shonoland, brushed King Lobengula,
the black savage chieftan, aside, and
added another huge. slice of territory
to that already painted a British red.
But the land thirst was unappeased.
Beyond, other rich lands were to be
secured, and in 1895 another slice If
territory-called Northern Zambesia
and Nyassaland-was adced to the
possessions Of the South African COM
pany. The whole now extends from
Cape Colony north, past Lake Nyassa,
with Lake T|anganyika at its north
eastern boundary and the Congo Free
State at its northwestern. In this re-
gion is comprised nearly 100000
square miles, a territory two-thlrds
the size of Europe, including Russia.

and fine climate, its rich and fertile
soil, most of it well watered or capable
of cultivation by irrigation, and its
great mineral wealth, is destined to

Newest Hair Ornament.

Quite the newest hair ornament is
the Juliet cap" This is a revival Of
the little netted cap of pearls or bril-
liants worn by Italian women of rank
and fashion when Romeo wooed Juliet.
1t is charming with the low dressing,
and is worn at the top of the head.
Another dainty novelty is the tiara
shaped wreath of ~maidenhair fern,
cleaning with dewdrops. Small ivy
leaves, with tiny flowers intermingied,
are used in similar fashion, and roses,
buds and other floral arrangements,
are all fascinating and pretty.

Young Women as city Guides,

Some bright young women are con-
sidering the formation of a company
for providing ladies qualified to act
as guides to the sights of New York,
as travelling companions, shopping as
sistants, etc. The idea is to charge a
stranger entering the city a fee Of
$1.50 for meeting her at the railway
station and escorting her to her hotel
or boarding house. A similar asso-
citation has been in successful opera
ton in London for fourteen years.

On the notion counters one sees an
old-fashioned device in the shape of a
finger-shield, to be used for affording
protection to the hand in sewing, in
place of the thimble. The silver ones
are engraved and often decorated with

shown pin cushions, consisting of sill
yer boxes, in which are set velvet
pads, held together by two silver or
naments, intended for use on the sew
ing table.

Massachusetts has passed and is en-
forcing a law relative to the inspection
of glassware used in testing milk.
The law covers the testing of pipettes
and bottles for use in the Babcock test,
the examination of candidates for pro-
iciency in operating the test and the
inspection of Babcock testing ma
chimes. Already some 5000 pieces of
glassware of the kind mentioned have
been examined. In n large order
from a supply house 149 pieces were
found inaccurate and were rejected.
Some Of the applicants for certificates
as testers that were examined were
found to be unreliable, and a number
of machines also were rejected. The
law was needed.
The New Workers have been having
trouble with their anti-color law. Aft
er having secured many convictions
under it, four justices of the appellate
court decided that oleomargarine,
though colored to represent butter,
could be sold in the open market if it
were only sold as oleo and not as but
ter. The agricultural department of
the state at once went to the legisla4
ture with the matter and got a bill
passed through both houses on the last
day of the session. The law now pro-
vides that colored oleo may not be sold
even when sold for itself. The men in
New York that are in favor of honest
butter feel that they have had a mar
row escape from a complete reversal Of
the policy that has protected them for
the last several years.

The Royal Veterinary Institute of
Denmark has taken up the ~investiga-
ton of tuberculosis in it's dual rela-
lions to animals and men. AS a result
the institute has issued an appeal to
dairymen urging them not to pin their
faith to the opinions Of Koch. The ex-
perimemts have been conducted under
the direction of Prof. Svensson. The
appeal declares that Prof. Koch is
wrong in his contention that human
tuberculosis cannot be transmitted to
animals. The institute processes to
have demonstrated that animals con-
tract the disease from people, and APP
peals to dairymen not to employ con-
sumptives to attend their cows. The
experiences in Denmark evidently cor
respond to those in the United States.

Poultry Points.

In the main poultry house the lady
had her bone grinder, and a half BUSH
ell of ground bone was ready for the
fowls. 1t is one of the most important
factors of that establishment. Mrs.
Brown grew eloquent as she told what
the bone grinder would do. At regu-
lar intervals 100 pounds of bones are
brought home from the butchers.
These bones include the ribs. The
butchers do not stop to cut out the
meat from between the ribs, and Mrs.
Brown says that sometimes she is able
to get of as high as fifty pounds of
meat from $50 pounds of bones. This
meat is fed to hens and chicks. The
lady expressed her surprise that any
person should try to keep poultry
without purchasing a bone grinder.
.
Women seem to be particularly
adapted to the poultry business. This
is doubtless due to the fact that house
keeping is a very big part of poultry
raising. 1t is second nature for a
woman poultry raiser to keep the poul-
try house clean-and more than that.

serve as a model. Moreover, it is the

STOCKCOMP FORMED
WILL IMPROVE RAILROAD FROM
 TUSKEGEE TO CHEHAW.
Declaration of Incorporation of New Organization Filed With the Secretary of State and Com mission Issued.

The short line of railroad connecting Chehaw and Tuskegee, distance of five miles is to be extended into the busi- ness district of Tuskegee and new depot will probably be constructed there.
 The Tuskegee railroad has heretofore been owned privately, but it is proposed to organize a stock company and greatly improve the property.
 Upon the filing of a declaration of in- corporation of the Tuskegee Railroad Company, Secretary of State R. r. Me David yesterday issued a commission to E. T. Warner. W. H. Wright and W. c. Swanson of Tuskegee authorizing them to open books of subscription to the stock of the proposed company.
 The incorporators of the Tuskegee Rail road Company are: F. T. Warner. G. w. Campbell W. H. Wright, l.. V. Alex ander, w. G. Swanson, George C. Wright and E. R. Alexander, all of Tuskegee.
 The capital stock of the new company Is fixed at S75,000 divided into 75O shares of $100 each.
 It is stated by the incorporators that the company proposes to extend the line nearer to the business portion of Tuske- gee and there to establish depot or

CUBA'S FINANCES.
Income of $1a,ooo,oo0 With Ex
 penditures of S15.OOO. .OOO.

New York, Aug. 2T-Fifteen millions are estimated as the Cuban Government expenditure in the national budget, which will be presented to Congress next month and the national income is placed, cables the Havana correspondent of The Herald at $1S.000, 900 the same as during the mill tary occupation. This provides a sur plus of $3,0O0000.
 Confidence Is steadily increasing in President Palma's ability to cope with the situation. The Senate bill providing for a national loan of $S5, ,0O00OQ. which went to the House of Representatives two weeks ago, is still in the hands of the House Committee.
 The sugar planters strongly favor the four million dollar loan in aid of agri- culture, but are indifferent regarding the proposed loan of $3l, 900 to pay back salaries to the army. Members of the disbanded army. on the contrary sup port the larger loan, but are luke-warn concerning the smaller. It Is generally believed that the interest and principal of the smaller loan could be taken care of under present conditions but the pay ment of the larger loan would require an additional revenue to be raised proba- ply by a stamp tax.
