WOMEN IN POLAND.

They Are Rcnown ID for Beauty and
Terribly Pusriotic.
Polish women are renowned for their
beauty, for the perfection of their
hands and the smallness of their feet
They place the fineness of the hands
above all other charms. Il regard my
hands. not my face said one, and it
is reported in Warsaw that the Vienna
shoe dealers keep a separate case of
shoes for the delicate feet of their Po-
fish customers.
Polish ladies maintain that when
they shop in Vienna and show their
small feet with the high instep to be
fitted the tradesmeL exclaim, "Ah,
those are Polish fset!'
But their pleasure in this distinction
is not so much a matter of personal
vanity as of satisfaction in the superb
ority of anything belonging to their
country For they are feryidly patri-
otic. They adore their country and
hate her tyrant. Russia
The lady of position rises between

for the national benefit.
AS consequence of this charm and
spirit, the women of Poland receive
from the men a courtesy amounting to
homage. The greatest consideration
for them is a commonplace of daily

The oIeomargarine Low.

Some time ago 1t was shown that
one weakness Of the present oleomar-
garlne law. the use Of some ingredient
which made 1t possible to ayoid the
law against the use Of coloring mat
ter. was working hardships on butter
makers, but reports generally indicate
that tie law was wise one, and prove
beyond all question that consumers do
want ole0margarine. 1t was held by
the opponents of the Grout bill that
the public demand was 50 great that
to place any restrictions on the meth
otis of marketing cleo would be to
drive out of the market a meritoTious
article. Those who upheld the bin
claimed that If cleo had any merit of
its own 1t should be sold on that merit,
and not disguised as butter The law
as enforced has shown that by far the
greater numle r az those who used

the deception. Oleo may be nutritious
and have great merit, but it is evident
that few people desire ii or viii buy It

The Grout bin has benefited farmer

On most farms there is a WORKOUT
pasture or a newly cleared piece of
ground thick in underbrush or sprouts
which would make ideal runs for
swine. = good plan is to fence off a
portion Of such places so that the ami
mails will not run off the flesh as fast
as 1t is put on, build some sort of a
rough house so they will be protected
from storms and turn them loose to
root and grub. Many a pasture that
was supposed TO be worthless has been
rendered tit for reseeding after a drove
of logs had occupied it one summer.
Much of the living can be picked up
on the range in the manner suggested
and the swine viii be in fine shape to
take on fat when the proper time
comes to eonfine them more closely.
