Scarcity Of Heavy Ripe Cattle.

At all leading markets there is a
noticeable want Of good, heavy, ripe
cattle, says Drovers' journal. The de-
mand has been evident for some time,
and the supply does not seem to be
forthcoming. The situation is not
only being seriously felt in this coun.
try, but is reaching to foreign nations,
where the better class of live cattle
and meat products are being exported.
Late press dispatches from Vienna in.
dictate that Austria Is destined to un-
dergo a meat famine similar to that
which Is being experienced in Ger
many. and has been for some time.
The possible difference is that the
German scarcity seems to include all
meats, while that in Austria is large
ly restricted to the higher grades and
will, at present, necessarily fall large
ly upon the upper classes. However,
is must be only matter of time whom
the shortage will be felt all along the
line. 1t is notable that the scarcity
is due to last seasons failure of the
corn crop and the decreased supply OF
live stock and high grade products
from abroad.

FROCKS.

The full flowing sleeves had three
bands of the fur. and the dainty chif-
fon was made into the under sleeve
that is to be one of the fashions of the
winter.
For the wee maids the full box.plait-
ed skirt is seen on many a school
dress. Plaids, checks and plain cloths
are the things that mammas are max
ing into suits for small women.
In green plaid pretty school frock
was made, and 1t was frightened by a
red velvet collar. The skirt was
plated and the waist was trimmed
lack into reyers at the throat, show
ing white CAMP of broadcloth. A
broad red collar laid out onto the
shoulders, and neat narrow cuffs of
the same fabric trimmed the sleeves.
The pretty frock was finished at the
waist line with narrow belt of the
velvet.
Sailor-like is a frock of dark navy
blue serge, with a broad collar of
white. The skirt has a broad box
plat in the front and narrow ones all
about. The waist is also plated, and
e bit of white serge shows as a vest.
and a big collar completes the frock.

During the long evenings or rainy
days much sport may be had from a
very slight acquaintance with what is
termed legerdemain, or sleight OF
hand. Here are three feats, all OF
which are easily performed:
Boiled Egg.-Take a hard boiled
egg and place it among a number Of
others. Then ask some one to pick
1t out. The only certain way to tell.
without breaking is to spin them
around. Those unboiled, or semi.
liquid inside will spin with q wad.
ding motion, while the hard egg
will spin like top.
Fire In Ice.-Make a hole in q piece
of ice with hot poker. Pour out the
water and fill up with alcohol. The
spirit may then be set on fire, and it
will have the singular appearance Of
ice in flames.
Another way Is: II a piece Of
potassium is pressed with q knife
blade upon a cake of ice the chemical
action of the materials is so energetic
that they burst into a reddish flame,
and hole is mada in the ice where
the potassium was in contact with 1t.
Invisible Writing.-Write upon pa
per with a diluted solution of muriate
of copper. When dry 1t will not be
visible, but on being warmed before
the fire the writing will become bright
yellow. Write with pure solution Of
cobalt, and the same effect will be
produced, except the letters will be Of
a green color. Write with acetate of
cobalt or with purified muriate OF
cobalt and the restored writing will
be blue. Draw landscape with some
colored ink and paint the foliage of
the trees and flowers with muriate
OF cobalt, some of the blossoms, etc.,
with acetate of cobalt and others with
muriate of copper. While this pic.
ture is cold 1t will appear to be
merely an outline of landscape or
winter scene, and when gently warm
ed the trees and flowers will be dis
played in their natural colors, which
they will preserve only while they con-
tinue warm. This may be often re-
heated

The Other Point Of View.

The Other Point OF View.
To be a little girl of ten
Seems nice enough-to boys and men;
I wonder IL they've ever tried
To argue from the other side?
don't suppose they'd ever guess
The stiffness of a starched white dress;
i wonder how they'd like the hooks
Let alone the way 1t looks!
They'd never sit at home and sew,
And watch their brothers come and go;
1 should not even like to say
That they would bear 1t for a day!
They do not know how hard It seems
To be a girl still, in ones dreams.
To feel that one can never be
drummer boy or go to sea.
Our brothers say we're hard to please
Because we long for things like these;
They think II is a pleasant life
To wait until you're some ones wife.
When I'm a wife I'll gladly sit
At home, and cook and sew and knit;
But there's a lot of waiting when
You're but a little girl of ten.
Our brothers do not seem to know
That waiting can be very slow;
You see. they're never really tried
To argue from the other side.

Coin Trick.


Place little mucilage on the rim Of
a wine glass; turn the glass over on
a sheet Of white paper, and when the
mncilage is dry cut away the paper
close to the glass. Put the glass mouth
downward on a sheet of paper like
that which covers the mouth of the
glass. Make paper cone to fit over
the glass. Now lay a penny on the
large sheet Of paper by the side of the
wine glass. Cover the glass with the
paper cone and place the whole over
the coin. Command the coin to disap-
pear. and on taking off the cone the
coin will appear to have obeyed your
command. To cause to reappear, re-
place the cone and carry away the
glass under it.

The --latest Ideas
From Paris

New umbrella handles show mount
irgs of copper studded with either
gold or silver.
Button novelties are many and one
shows a silver snake coiled around a
blue turquoise.
A large butterfly set in diamonds,
with a single large ruby as the head,
is among the jewelry novelties.
A curious brooch is in virgin gold
and represents a slender stick, around
which is coiled a wicked-looking
snake with a ruby eye.
Partisan pearls cut in pagoda
shapes are strung together closely
without any intervening gold links to
form the newest neck chain.
One sees a great many shades Of
gray in the new goods and these
colors are known to the wise shopman
as cloud, storm, pearl or moonlight.
Pretty among pins chatelaine to
fasten the tiny enameled watches to
the waist is one that represents q
four-leaved clover. This is enameled
TO represent the real leaf and has an
opal in the center.

To Make for Christmas.

This is about the simplest and yet
the most convenient whisk-broom
holder you can make. Cut out two
pieces of pasteboard about three
inches wide and not quite as long as
your broom is wide at the widest
point. Cover both pieces with some
soft, pretty lining and slip in a layer
of cotton or flannel to make them soft.
The outside piece cover with the cloth
you intend using for the outside, and
overland on all sides and overhem to-
gether at the ends. Before overland
ing the bottom make piece, as in the
cut, Of the cloth to be used for the out
side, and line it and press 1t. This
should be of the exact width as your
top and as long as your whisk-broom.
Slip this in under the outside piece
and sew on firmly; then hem down
smoothly the lining. Now it Is ready

People

end, with the flame rushing up the
fiue thus made and spouting in huge
rose at the top, is fine spectacle.
In the country the boys sometimes
pick out a good-sized sapling, strip it
OF its limbs and then begin to string
the barrels on it. Sometimes the sop
ling is not cut down, and the barrels,
with their bottoms knocked out, are
put on by means of a long pole with
hook on it which is caught in a nah
in the barrel. The holders of the pole
hoist till the barrel is high enough to
come down over the sapling, when
they lower 1t and then go on to the
next.
Some enterprising boys use good.
sized trees, and a fire twenty barrels
high is the result. The flame spouting
from the end of one of these immense
chimneys can be seen for miles.

Do Typhoid Germs Pass Through,
Cows.

The Oregon experiment station
gives an account of experiments made
with various germs found in water.
During the experiment water impreg-
mated with germs Of different sorts
usually found in water were given to
the cows to drink, but no trace could
be found of them in the milk. Later
typhoid bacilli in the water were ad-
ministered, with only trace of the
typhoid germs in the cultures made OF
the milk. The results obtained by
this investigation are gratifying, In
asmuch as they are conclusive: First,
that a pure culture Of typhoid bacilli
mixed with water and given to tho
COW to drink did not pass into the
milk. Second, that they did not pass
from the COW alive with the excreta;
third, that they did not pass from the
COW alive with the urine, and fourth,
that they were not taken into the
udder by capillary attraction through
the teat orifice.

i Never since the tailor-made woman
appeared on the scene dozen years
ago, have the coats, jackets, skirts and
suits been as handsome as those
shown this autumn.
Perhaps the long lines are respon-
sible for their beauty. That is the
chief feature of the frocks and gowns
that are to prevail In the world Of
fashion the coming season. Even
where the skirt is broken by double
circular fiounces the long, graceful
effect is still sought after and must
be obtained to give the costume the
proper style.
While in former seasons 1t was the
plain cloths that were trimmed with
silks, braids and fur, this year the
tailors are putting trimmings Of every
description on their creations, compos-
ed of the mixed tweeds and cheviots.
SO much will be used this winter that
all of the handsomest suits for either
walking. shopping or visiting will be
trimmed with some one of the popu-
lar furs.
Especially graceful was a gray cos
tune that was recently sent home
from the workshop Of one Of the best

Hints for Christmas.

Here are directions for articles
which would be good for fair or as
Christmas gifts:
Get a strip of cardboard which is
used to mount pictures on and cut 1t
in pieces by inches. Then buy some
of the pictures which come two for
cent, and paste them on evenly. Then
punch a hole in the corners Of the
cardboard and run baby ribbon
through to hang them up. Some good
pictures to use are the poets and their
homes.
Save the names of your pictures
when you cut them and paste them
on the back Of the cardboard. II you
use gray cardboard, pink or blue rib
bon would look good. If the cardboard
Is dark green, red ribbon looks good.
Do not use more than six pictures to
q panel.
Another pretty article is made by
FASTING a pretty picture on a card
board having half an inch margin all
around. Then ruffie a strip Of crepe
paper about an inch wide and paste
round the picture. Put bow at each
corner of the picture and fasten a
piece of cardboard at the back SO that
It will stand up.
This is also pretty IL ribbon is used
to hang 1t up.
Get two briarwood pipes. Make a
little cushion for the bowl of each
pipe, taking a small piece Of ribbon
or silk, lining with curled hair or cot
ton. Tie the pipes together with rib
bon, and fill the cushions with pins.
This is to hang by the side Of the
bureau or dressing table.

veIyc. Ribbon FancIes.

Narrow black velvet ribbon in rows
of threes or fives, caught at intervals
by paste buckles, are often used as
bretelles on evening blouses. Bebe
ribbons are still used as trimming
run through lace and ending in the
pretty chrysanthemum rosettes made
of loops of velvet of different lengths.
Blouses made entirely of frills of chif'
fon are only suitable for slim figures.

chance in Bodice Fashions.

Word comes from Paris that the
bodice with close long shoulders is to
reign supremacy in the autumn. This
means revival undoubtedly OF modes
that prevailed when Empress Eugene
was not only the queen of beauty in
France, but the dictator OF fashions.
1t also means that skirts will be wider
at the hem, that large hats will be
worn and that coiffures will gaip
greatly in dimensions.

Trick With Matches.

Form square with twenty matches
in such way that each side contains
six matches in symmetrical order,
with their heads in one direction. The
task is to take away the matches in
such a manner that each side of the
square contains only four matches.
This example seems rather difficult,
but is easy when you take the first
and last (sixth) match of the upper
side of the square, the fifth OF the left
side Counted from top to bottom), the
two last of the lower side and none of
the right side.

HA NDSOME TAILOR-MADE

tailors. The dress was of a mixed
tweed, and distinction was given It
by the black fur that set it off.
The skirt was long and narrow at
the hips, with the full, flowing train.
The front breadth was plain and
reached from the waist line to the
ground. On either side of 1t began the
thin circular fiounce that made the
skirt handsome. Where these began
we're narrow bands of broadtail. In
the waist the same effect was carried
cut by the round collar, while between
the fur bands was fall OF white chif-
fon that formed a vest
