Silk Waists, Black or White.


All black or all white-those
seem to be the two extremes most
popular with women buying thin
silk waists just now. A strong
point about both of them is that
there are no colors to run-an
important consideration in hot
weather.
The china silk, pongee and un-
lined chinas, from which they are
made are thin, airy and comfort
able. Prices remarkably low.

Wildcat but those who have seen it

wildcat, but those who have seen it
are certain that it is something larger,
and almost every one has a different
name for it; some a jaguar, others
lynx, still others an OcelOt, a cougar,
or lucivee, while one man positively
asserts that there is not the slightest
doubt about it's being panther. All
seem to agree, however, in placing it
in the cat family, but some say that it
walks with it's legs fiat on the ground,
from the last joint down, which would
indicate relation to the family of
Procyonidae. Its track, seen by many,
is long, and resembles a child's foot
print, which would hint at cousin
lus and Remus. Its cry varies in diff
ferent descriptions from the piteous
wall Of a child in agony, to the shrek
of a demon. We, after listening to
many tales, and comparing all, are
forced into the belief that it must be
some entirely new species of ANIMAL
such as no hunter has ever tracked
down, no Zoologist ever dissected, and
no naturalist ever classified. What a
chance for our hunters to show their
skill and courage! Why do not those
famous hunters of New Milford who
of late have been forced to seek the
Maine woods to find game worthy of
their proves, now come forward to
the rescue? Why do they miss this
chance of covering themselves with
brighter glory and winning still green

Organized effort among farmers Id
cry year E2ora and more r"cessary.
Commerce is organized for the purpose
Of obtaining farm products at as low
price as possible. and if agriculture Il
not organized for the purpose Of secur.
ing fair prices it is very easy to see
who must suffer. Farmers generally
have been too isolated, too Individual
ly Independent, to get together on any
but immediate netghborhood enter
prises. If q church or schoolhouse is
to be built or mill or gin to be erect
ed, it is generally easy enough to raise
the money and organize for its proper
investment, but the prevalent idea
among farmers has been that as they
grow their own crops on their own land
and breed and feed their own live stock
they are fully competent to sell or buy
anything they have or anything they
want. The fact is they are not more
competent in their business than mer-
chants and spectators are in theirs,
and men in every commercial line have
learned that by combination and thor
ough organization they can accomplish
their purposes much more effectually
than by individual effort. Farmers
should look at things as they exist. not
as they think they ought to be. A mob
can't successfully contend with a disci-
plined foe or individual farmers with
organized bodies whose interests are
directly opposite to theirs. If farmers
would receive even handed justice, they
must meet organization with organiza-
ton. If the business relations of the
producers and the commercial interme-
diaries are to be war. then let the ar
mics be organized, disciplined and drill
ed. In no other way can the contest be
made interesting.-Farm and Ranch.

Ee Works and Plays Hard and Spins

The sailors life is not altogether one
Of hard work. and on the whole he has
a very good time. Dancing, gymnas-
tics, fencing. boxing and boat racing
fill his leisure hours. His natural fond
ness for pets is prOverbial, and there
are few ships without mascot, be it
goat, dog or Dennis the pig, which
serves to tighten the hours of the dull
watches at sea. Many stories are told
of the proves of ships pets at night
on the forecastle, when the hammocks
are down and the pipes lighted. One
man spins a yarn of a cat that was
born in an old boiler. cruised $4,000
miles in one ship, established a great
reputation as fighter in all parts of
the world and finally ended his adven-
turous career on the coral reefs of Sa-
moa, says writer in the Worlds
Work. Another tells of monkey
without ears or tail, with which he
sailed in the China seas, whose fond
ness for liquid paint produced period
ical attacks of blindness. There is a
story of a dissipated dog who never
lost an opportunity to get drunk and
who always recognized the bugle call
for the gig and invariably ran to the
gangway when it sounded to 60 ashore

is the one of the pet bear who chased a

Convenient Barn Ladder.

When built my barn, was for some
time at a loss for plan to build a
stairway or ladder from the hallway
to the NOW above, one which would be
entirely out of the way when not in
use. This is the way finally solved
the problem: l cut the opening to the
NOW in the center of the hallway. then
made a ladder of the proper length to
reach from floor of hallway to the NOW
above. l had the blacksmith make
two clips, one of which bolted on the
upper end of each side piece of the lad
der. also had two hooks made which
1 nailed to the framework of the OPEN
ing. 1 then hung hook from one of
the joists at the opposite side of the
opening Now by hanging the clips
which are or the end of the ladder on
the hooks attached to the framework
of the opening the ladder can be swung
up and hooked to the hook on the jOist.
This swings the ladder clear above my
head and leaves hallway Unobstructed.

ANAIQNlY Or AN OYSTER.
The Bivxtve's Organs Are Numerous
and Its Heart Quite Humanlfke.

md Its Heart Quite Humanlflke.
Every oyster has mouth, heart, a
liver, stomach, besides many curious
~ devised little intestines and other
organs - necessary organs, such as
would be handy to living, moving
intelligent creature. The mouth is at
the end of the shell, near the hinge and
adjoining the toothed portion of the
oysters pearly covering. This tiny lit
tie apology of a mouth is oval in shape,
ard. although hardly visible to one un-
used to making such anatomical exam
nations, it can be easily discovered by
gently pushing a bodkin or piece Of
blunt, smooth wire along the surface
of the locality mentioned. --
When the mouth is at last located.
you can thrust your instrument through
between the delicate lips and a consid-
cradle distance toward the stomach
without causing the oyster the least
pain whatever. From this mouth there
Is of course a miniature canal leading
to the stomach. Food passes from this
canal to the stomach and from the lat
readily as though the little bivalve
were as large as an elephant or a rhi-
noceros.
Remove the shell (this operation is
rather rough on the oyster, but can be
done in a comparatively painless man
neriby an expert), and you will see the
crescent, which lies just over the so
called heart. This half moon space is
the oysters pericardium. Within is
the true heart, the pulsations of which
can be readily seen without the aid of
glass. The heart is very humanlike,
made of two parts, one of which re-
ceives the blood from the gills through
network of real blood vessels: tho
other portion contracts and drives the
blood out through the body. The other

them in sour milk for few hours,
then rub them off thoroughly with
wooden rag and grease them. Almost
any kind of grease that is free from
salt will answer. If they are too rusty,
scour with sandpaper and finish with
emery paper before soaking. A fiat
