on having an engagement bracelet as
well as an engagement ring. One or

bracelet than an engagement ring, but
they have an engagement ring oil the

Still, the engagement bracelet has
its own peculiar charm, and as it is
sentimental one, it naturally en-
hances the value of the gift. 1t is of

sary to remove it it has to be filed of.

HAIR CURLER OF HORN.

A new hair curler is being shown
In the shops. 1t will give the coiffure
the Marcel wave, which is now so pop
ular, or the Colonial curl. It is made
Of two bars Of horn of equal size,
about two and one-half inches long,
and quite narrow. The bars are placed
one above the other and fastened to-
gether at one end, so chat they readily
slide apart. When closed, that end
of the upper bar fits under the end
of the lower bar, which curves round,
practically serving the purpose of a
fastener. To use the curler, you slight
ly dampen the haiy, then roll it tight.
~ on the plain bar just as you wind a
string around pencil. You bring the
other bar over and close. After flf-
steen minutes, you unfasten the bar and
Dull It straight out. The horn is
specially treated and said to possess a
permanent warmth. If you want to
make colonial curl, you begin to roll
the hair on the bar from the end up to
the head; this takes about thirty or
forty minutes.

Flies and the Administration.

The present administration is opposed
to flies, and is fighting them through
the Department of Agriculture. DR..
Howard, Chief of the Division of En-
tomology, is the general directing the
campaign, which is being prosecuted
at present chiefly by the distribution of
pamphlets. telling about all sorts Of
flies, their various habits and danger
Gus propensities. For the better study
of them 23OO were caught in kitchens
and dining rooms in all parts of the
country and put on trial. OF these,
niDety-eight per cent. were common
house flies. The house fly does not bite
nor sting. The greatest danger from
him arises from his neglect to wipe his
feet. He will tramp over filth and
infected matter, and straightway track
his accumulation over anything that
any nearby family may be having for
dinner. 1t is easier to discourage
flies altogether than to teach them bet
ter habits. General -Entomologist How
ard talks of war Of determination,
but the first and most practicable thing
to do is to teach people in general as
much as possible about flies; when and
where they breed and why they are
dangerous. 1t is we'll known that
stables are great nurseries of flies.
It seems hopeless to attempt to regu-
late stables SO that flies won't breed in
them, but good deal can be done by
the use Of knowledge and Of sense;
and where stables are so placed that
their dies are particularly annoying.
the use Of chloride Of lime will help
matters very much. The great central
truth about dies and the danger from,
them seems to be. the cleaner the
place, the fewer files, and the less dan
ger from those that are there. Com
mon flies do not secrete poison; they
merely carry it. Don't leave any poison
around where they can get at it. Bury
it; keep garbage in proper receptacles
and remove it promptly.-Harper's
Weekly.

WRAP VARIETY,

1t Is safe to say that never we're
wraps more varied. In the first place
every material under the sun is en-
ployed in their making, and in the
second place, every shape possible
is in evidence. The materials them
selves are an interesting group. In
addition to every sort of silk and
moire velour, not to mention the popu-
lar pongee, there are number Of
wash fabrics which are very great ia
vorites.
Coming to the question of cut,
there's an even wider latitude. In
deed, many of the choicest models
would never be known for coat at all
by the uninitiated. This is especia-
ally true of some of the frivolous lit
tie plated affairs in bo!ero length. AS
for picturesqueness, this is usually
supplied by the sleeves, and, to put it
mildly, they are not found wanting.

To Mako South Cattle Centre.

Plans that were first taken into con-
sideration about a year ago have been
developed within the last few months
to the point where Swift & Co., and
others of the great packing establish
ments in Chicago have begun expert
ments on what may prove revolution
Of the cattle industry Of the country.
The project involves the settlement
Of severa! hundred thousand acres Of
what Is at present nearly valueless
land in Northern and Northwestern
Florida and Southern Alabama. the
cultivation on large scale of the
cassava roots and its use in feeding
cattle and hogs.
If the plan develops as 1t is now in
the minds of the leading packers. the
Southern States will become the centre
Of the cattle raising industry.
The cassava roots was originally a
product of South Africa. Its value as
q food product was long ago discovered
by the natives, who made from it tapi.

Sorghum is one of the most valuable
forage crops grown in the Southern
States. 1t yields two good, dry forage
leturns every year and supplies much
fall and winter pasturing in addition.
Some Of the best sorghum growers re-
port harvesting fifty tons of green food
per acre. If left to seed an acre pro-
duces from twenty-five to thirty five
bushels of fine poultry and hog fatten-
ing food in the seed. When mixed with
peas or some of the leguminous plants
sorghum forms the ideal muscles max
ing and fat producing food. 1t is the
plant for the dairyman, stock raiser
and general farmer. In many dis
tricts the plant re-seeds annually. thus
making perpetual pasture and forage
crop.-Farmers Home Journal.

A NOVEL BARN PARTY.

A barn party in a house! That
sounds bit paradoxial, b,!t one was
given recently in handsome country
home and it proved such success that
the idea has been taken up with en-
thusiasm. This particular party was
in honor of an engagement, and the
decorations were arranged after this
manner: The furniture was removed
from the rooms and crash laid over
the carpets and strewn with straw
A hen and chickens were placed in a
coop in the reception room, and rabbits
occupied coops on other parts of the
parlor floor. Bundles Of straw filled
corners, and oats and wheat were
hung up on the wall, also rakes, hoes
and brooms. The young women of the
party were requested to come gowned
in dimity or muslin. The young men
were desired to wear shirt waists and
outing ties. A part of the pastoral
symphony" was given by string quar-.
tet and outdoor songs and some hum.
orous ones in praise of country life
were sung. among the former being
"Milkmad's Song" There
were quaint rustic dances and the Vir-
ginia reel on the dance cards, which
had small sprays Of oats tied to them
with bows of satin ribbon. The supper
tables had centerpieces of poppies and
Eagle.

S,rawberrv GROWING.

It is about time the strawberry grow
ers Of the South are giving close at
tention to one point that is often over
looked. We all know how determined
mapy varieties Of strawberries are to
set plants, If the conditions are favor
able to their growth. This is all very
well. within reason, but there often
comes time when they are unreason-
ably well. This we must not allow if
we want to get big berries. and those
are really the only ones that pay to
gather. 1t is berries that we want, anc
not plants. Six inches Is close enough
to let plants set in the matted rows,
and these should not be more than
twenty inches or two feet wide.
In cultivating, the runners that are
long enough to be in the way and be
dragged along in line with the rows
should not be allowed to root as they
are left by the cultivator, but placed
where they are really needed, so as
row. After this is done so there are
enough plants. no more should be al
lowed to set In that space, If possible to
prevent it. Instead Of giving the atten-
ton to the space between the rows,
where no plants are desired, let it
alone for almost two months. unless it
Is likely to get very weedy or grassy,
ard give the attention to the bearing
rows. Use 4 fork hoe or something
that may be easily used to pull loose,
dig up or drag between the rows If
they are cut Off, others will come, but
this may be necessary sometimes. The
plants that set in the middle will do
no harm and will be destroyed in due
time.
When fall weather comes and the
runners are about done starting out
from the main plants the plows and
cultivators should be set to work in
the middles and the bearing rows
trimmed down to two feet wide, or
less. These middles should be kept
perfectly clean until growth stops. If
a light mulch Of hay or something that
has little weed seed in it Is applied
over the plants, they will repay the
cost in clean berries when the fruiting
season comes.

AngOra Goats IA BrOwsers.

A close observer will notice there are
many upland or mountain farms that
have some pieces of pasture too dry
and perhaps too rocky to yield profit.
The past few dry seasons have brought
In bushes, briars and weeds that have
robbed the land of tame grass for the
making of good quality butter. Such
cheap land pasture is where the An
CORA goats will thrive best, as they pre-
fer bushes and briars to grass and will
thrive and grow fat where sheep will
starve and cows cannot live Angora
goats are very prolific, will live about
three times as long as sheep, and their
mohair will bring about three times
the price of common wool.-G. II.

HOUSEWIVES ASSOCIATION

HOUSEWIVES ASSOCIATION.
To guard against the possibilities OF
the kitchens of the city being tied uI
! as the result of strike of maid-ser
wants, the Chicago Housewives Asso
citation, at meeting in the Great
Northern Hotel, appointed an arbtra
tion committee to adjust all differences
between mistrcsses and maids. Other
things decided upon were:
A blacklist for obstinate" girls.
Summary dismissal from the society
of unkind mistresses.
Diplomas and prizes for faithful
maids.
Chicago housewives claim to have
suffered varied grievances at the hands
of hired girls" but they have deter
mined to suffer no more. To this end
they are going to try the effect of be-
duct upon the housemaids who will
nevermOre be designated as hired
girls" or servant girls" such terms
being barred by the association.
Each housewife who belongs to the
organization will wear badge bearing
the photograph of the founder, Mrs
Levi, and will bestow upon the maid
who shows fealty medals, diplomas,
and $40 gold pieces at discreet inter
vals, to be determined upon by the So
ciety. Some or all of these extra
emoluments will go to every maid who
serves mistress faithfully for a year
The diploma will be a permanent en-
graved recommendation bearing the
red seal Of the society, the medal may
be tiny silver frying pan, flatiron,
broom, or other domestic symbol, and
the gold pieces just the plain unem-
bcllished product of the mint.
Miss Esther Falk, the assistant sec
retary, said the society hoped to get
every woman in the Chicago Blue
Book" into the organization, besides
a lot of people whose names are not
found in that register. "All members
are supplied with maids free of charge
and the maids are guaranteed as capa-
BILE and trustworthy in every way"
she said. ut only costs 81 a year to
belong to the society, and the matrons
and housewives Of Chicago will be
glad to join when the society is known.
for the benefits will be many. None
of them, for common protection, can
afford not to be a member. r."-Chica-

Value OF Poultry Pasture.

Too much cannot be said as to the
value Of poultry pasture. 1t is the
cheapest feed and the chickens do not
want to be fed, but do their own
rustling. Every farmer who raises
poultry should prepare a piece Of
ground for a winter rye pasture. Be
careful and do not have it too far from
the poultry run. Rye IS an excellent
winter feed, and chickens. ducks and
geese thrive upon it. Another great ad-
vantage in rye is that it balances the
grain ration and reduces the amount Of
high priced corn, wheat and oats that
would be necessary in the absence Of
the green food.

What Wealth Cannot Do.

of Philadelphia, died many years ago.
leaving a fortune of $6.OOO,OOO. "Mr.
Ridgeway," said young man. "you
are more to be envied than any gen.
tleman l know. Think of the thou
sands your income brings you every
month";
"Well, what of that?" replied Mr..
Ridgeway. "All l get out of it is my
victuals and clothes, and l can't eat
more than one mans allowance or
wear more than one suit at time.
l can only live in one house at time;
as for the money l receive for rents,
why, I can't eat it, or wear 1t; l can
only use it to buy other houses for
other people to live in; they are bene'
fciaries, not I. I can only look at the
furniture and pictures. and the poor
est man who is not blind can do the
same. I can ride no easier in fine
carriage than you in an omnibus for
FIVE cents, with the trouble and attcn-
ton to drivers, footmen and hostlers,
and as to anything l desire l can tell
you, young man. that the less we de-
sire in this world the happier We shall
be. All my wealth cannot buy back
my youth, cannot purchase exemption
from sickness and pain, cannot pro-
cure me power to keep afar off the
hour of death; and then what will all
avail, when, in few short years at
most, lie down in the grave and leave
it all forever? Young man. you have
no cause to envy me-
