UPSETS IRISH IDOL.
Secretary Wilson Says Famous
Bacon Is Made in Chicago.

Washington, Jan. 18.-That rare and
choice brand of Irish bacon with
flavor that is all it's own and broad
streaks of lean in it is put UP in the
Chicago stockyards by Sir Thomas Lip
ton, according to Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson.
The famous Irish hunters which
alone are capable of carrying a ten
stone" Englishman to the hounds, are
according to the same authority gath
cred up by Sir Thomas at the Chicago
stockyards where they are found to be
the best.
The information was impaired to the
house committee on agriculture in the
course of a statement by the secretary
upon the scope, purposes, and develop
ment of the agricultural department.
The bacon, it appears, is a particular
British fad, and there are many Eng
lishmen of particular tastes who are
content with nothing short of the gem
uine lean bacon from the Irish hog.
Therefore it devolved upon Sir Thorn
as Upton to supply the demand and
provide a uniform grade of Irish bacon
that could be relied upon at all times
to be just the desired article.
The Chicago market seemed to have
the proper pig for the purpose. Accord
ing to Secretary Wilson, he appears to
be a remote relative of the razor back
and is particularly noticeable because
of the absence of fat on his bones.
There is no question as to the quail
fly of the beast, and the flavor of the
bacon is considered by many superior
to that of the fat hog. 1t is this ami
NAL who has been called upon to rep
resent Ireland at the British breakfast
table. The bacon is carefully cured
and as carefully canned. Then it is
shipped to Ireland, where it is given the
last necessary touch of Irish with a
paste brush and label and carried
across the channel to serve its purpose.
1t is surmised that with the wider
opportunities for selection offered in
Chicago a superior article of Irish bacon
is the result of the enterprise,
Irish hunters, too, it appears from
SECRETARY Wilson's statement, are more
plentiful in Chicago than in Ireland.
The great horse states contributing to
the Chicago stock yards can supply
any sort of horse desired. Sir Thomas,
the secretary says, has several Irish ex-
perts on hand, who pick out likely
weight carriers, and when a good con-
signment is assembled it is shipped to
Ireland, where each horse is put
through a course of training at gates
and bars until he becomes really
good hunter.
After that the English riders are al
lowed to see them work, and another
strand is added to the tie that binds
the United States and Great Britain in
closer friendship.

KILL AND BURN.
HerrOs Are Laying Waste a
Large Section of Country.

Berlin, Jan 1S.-Further advices from
German Southwest Africa says the
Herros are numbering settlers and
burning homesteads over wide areas
The German colonial troops in the dis
turbed districts are wholly insufficient
to deal with the revolted natives
Chancellor Won BueloW submitted to
Emperor William yesterday the dis
patches received on the subject by the
government, and the emperor sent for
War Minister Won Einem and Ad-
miralty Secretary Won TiertiZ. The de-
cision of the conference was to ask the
reichstag to Immediately authorize the
sending out of reinforcements.
Addressing the reichstag Immediately
after it had assembled today the chan
cellor said it had become his duty to in
form the house of the serious position
of the German settlers in German South
west Africa through the revolt of the
HeFros. They had killed number OF
settlers who were fleeing to the stations,
had destroyed houses and farm I'M
proVementS and had driven off the cat
tie Of a great part of the German pio-
neers who were now unable to leave the
protection of the stations. The insur-
rection came at a time when the COVER
nor and a large portion of the Colonial
troops were subduing the Bondzelwart
tribe, 20 days march away. In conSe-
quence of this and the remaining forces
being scattered among the various
LIZ
colony the natives were seriously
threatening 0kajundjy. Otjumbingwe
and Karaibib, and even Winhoek itself.
The government, before the last dis
patches had been received, had ordered
that the hodmen with six machine guns
and six pieces of artillery be placed in
readiness for active service, but a start
could not be made before January 80.
The serious intelligence now at hand
made it necessary to send out immedi-
ately a battalion of 500 marines in addf-
ton to the other troops, with a compile
ment of guns and railroad pioneers.
These would embark Thursday on a
North German Lloyd line steamer and
arrive at Swakopmund, German South
west Africa, February 8. The gunboat
Habyacht had been ordered from Cape
Town and was due to arrive at SwakOp-
mund today. Moreover 20 men, previ-
ously dispatched, would reach Swakop-
mund February The German people,
continued the chancellor, would answer
the call for help of the faithful SER
wants of the state and colonists. The
chancellor alluded briefly to the finan-
cial requirements necessary and said
these would be provided later.
The reichstag after warmly applaud
ing the chaneellor's statement took UP
the regular business of the day.

A Pack for Garments.
Another useful article of furniture
| for the family Dorcas is a circular
coat and suit rack with projecting
| arms, such as can be seen in any
: suit department in a big store. From
this she hangs individual coat racks
carrying dresses under way or gowns
laid up for repair. 1t is rather high,
preventing the gowns from dragging
and gathering dust. To further pro-
tect them she has a balloon shaped
cloth of unbleached muslin which fits
over them, stand and all, at night.
This does away with the practice of
| laying a half-finished garment in
mussy condition on "a table or bed.

Another attachment for the machine
which is comforting in hot weather is
a small fan designed after the fashion
| of electric fans. 1t is operated by the
mechanism of the machine, and as the

| broad, planned boards riVeted together
and set firmly on a pair of supporters

Like the paperhanger's table, it is built
rather high, so that Miss Dorcas does
not stoop to the injury of her figure
and her health when she is cutting
a garment.
The Cutting and Basting Table.
A cutting or basting table of smaller
dimensions, which she uses when seat

The Elder Girls school Coats.
For elder girls, school coats are
| longer, some quarter some skirt
length, and some in useful raglan or
ulster length. The rain coats of crav-
enette and shower proof silk for the
missy ages are very swagger, and I'M
less the cravenettes are palpably rain
coats in style, they are sufficiently
heavy for first autumn wear.
Those in the shower proof silks are
'grown-up" and plainly for bad
weather In rich automobile reds and
blues. some of the loose, baggy mod
els are supplied with attached auto
mobile hoods, which give them quite
a worldly air.
In gown textures. the tiny checks
and larger plaids are without doubt
the newest materials for any age
above seven. The latest woods in them
are more smooth than hairy with
some of the imported sorts almost as
tightly woven as mems suting. The
black and white designs, i'm whatever
pattern chosen. are considered very
smart and eminently suited to school
color are sometimes used with stylish
effect upon these, especially if the
costume is OF "fixy" description.
But with palmer frocks, such as the
Russian blouse styles worn by the
smallest girls, only a belt and tie of
color are admitted-both in flaming
scarlet, maybe, and the cravat tying
under a high turnover linen collar.
High Linen Collar in Vogue.
The high linen collars are enormous
ly in vogue for both children and
grown-ups. and, after the somewhat
negligee effects of soft stocks, they
seem very stylish. But as the unstif-
fened collars are more comfortable, as
well as less damaging to the throat, it
is likely that more little frocks will
be seen with the easy stocks and neck
bands than without them. Many of
the more youthful and dressy of the
little toiettes are still made with
CAMP bodies. Gowns for older girls
are invariably high necked. with
smart collar effects and trimmed
skirts, though the latest child skirt is

1t is a good imitation of MAHOGANY
and has the yard measure marked off
on it.
An adjustable skirt form for drapinR
and hanging skirts, and a bust form
for draping blouses, arranging trim
mingS, etc, are other essential features
of her equipment.
1t is amazing, the number of pretty
little gifts this fair Dorcas has receiv-
ed since her hobby has become known
among her friends. An observing
young man sent her a pair of button
hole scissors with the regulation adj
justment screw and handles of gold
inlaid with mother-of-pearl. She has
two gold thimbles, and one of her girl
friends last Christmas sent her a lit
tie box filled with glove threads. Her
sisters had never known before that
silk thread cuts kid and that glove
threads can be bought to match every
fashionable color in gloves.
Visits the Notion Counters.
Miss Dorcas has brought to bear
on her work a degree of intelligence
which makes it pleasant and easy
She never fails to visit the notion
counters regularly and to keep in
touch with all the innovations which
simplify the dressmaker's work. She
fit the various women in her family.
These have three buttons and button
holes in the back and are fully as
good as anything which can be made
at home. For wash shirt waists she
buys the regulation neck bands, kept

ing for this work as her sister, who
is a stenographer, had to her course
at the business college. Many girls
are born dressmakers" and succeed
without a course of training, but the
latter gives a sense of security.
Miss Dorcas has been urged by her
friends to enlarge the scope of her
work, and make frocks and furbe
lows for women outside the family
circle. but for her health's sake she
clings to her original purpose and
sews for the family only. She has
no desire to succumb to the nervous
strain which comes with the dress
makers shop and it's score of appren-
tices.
Her Sewing Room n Business Office
Her sewing room is pleasure as
we'll as a business office. Flowers
bloom at the windows. A few at
tractive prints are on the wall. An
easy couch on one side of the room,
which, when raised, shows deep cav
ity for holding materials. 1t is sup
plemented by several comfortable
chairs, for Miss Dorcas' friends have
learned to drop in for a social chat
and do not expect their busy hostess
to stop her work because of their
coming. Few parents could Withstand
the pleadlngs of a Dorcas for such a
room as this.
Aside from the excellent training it
affords the girl, the family saves that
item on the dressmaker's bill which
reads, Findings, s." For it is on
the findings that the dressmaker
makes and her patron loses.
Such a room is rare incentive to
work, and many a girl who strus-
giles almost tearfully with the family
sewing in narrow quarters called sew
ing rooms would do better work and
do it gladly and cheerfully in harmo-
NOUS surroundings.

The garments now being made up
for autumn school wear display no
marked changes in childrens styles.
The lines are virtually unaltered from
those of the summer. though many
little improvements in cut and individ-
S5i t5uohes in trimming are encoun-
tered.
Some of the color effects. too. of
the hot season have been carried over
especially the black and white checks
and holder plaids in the same COM
bination, though for that matter
pEaids in all colors will be worn by
children, with black band trimmings
TO give them distinction. Upon plain
stuffs. wide and narrow tartan braids
will also be used.
OF course, in getting up a practical
school wardrobe, the fundamentals
are the first things to be considered.
The everyday suits for Tad and lassie,
stout boots, correct headgear and a
wrap and rain coat, not forgetting
overshoes for mud and snow, a neat
umbrella and gloves of several thick
neSseS-these are the first require
ments. And after they have been
carefully chosen for even the pur-
chase of an umbrella requires thought,
the decorative element of the trous-
seaux may come in.
The Autumn Wrap.
Beginning with the wrap, which is
really the first essential of a good au-
tumn outfit, the best ready-made
styles are to be recommended as hav-
ing some advantage over garments
made to order. For one thing, it can
at once be seen if the style chosen is
becoming to the child for whom it is
intended. This is an extremely i'm
portant point, especially for ungainly
and sensitive children who are con-
scious of all their defects, and are
made supremacy wretched by any
comment upon their appearance. So,
for spndling maids and boys, in both
suits and coats, certain looseness of
fit is suggested, with the coat-tails
falling scarcely more than hip length.
Pretty and practicable autumn
school coats for girls from to 10 are

coatings so long worn. Such styles are
again seen in great number perfectly
