Figs, dates and prunes are all time

addition to the ordinary bill OF fare.
Each of these fruits should be thor

which matches the skirt, but there are
numberless other materials that are
equally desirable. Veilings are always
pretty made with waists Of either
thin, soft silks or muslin and very
nearly all the seasons fabrics can
be utilized. The yoke of lace with col

banding when the bolero is not used.
The waist is made with a fitted lin.

the yoke which is hooked over onto
the left shoulder seam. The sleeves

Irish Crochet Coat

A white Irish crochet coat is exceed
ingly smart in style made with a deep
collar Of white linen, trimmed with
medallions of the lace, and having the
lace sleeve made with turn-back cuffs
of the linen and also finished with
fluffy lace-trimmed undersleeves. A
coat Of this style should be worn with
linen skirt trimmed with lace in
sets. It would also look well with
skirt Of white mohair, with the soft,
silky finish. But then the cuffs and
collar of the coat should have white
silk substituted for the linen.
It is quite the smart fad Of the day
when wearing lace coat to have the
hat made to match. With the Irish
crochet lace coat a white picture hat
is good style with the faring brim
faced with the coarse lace, and an
ostrich feather caught through the
brim and dropping over the hair at
the left side. If the wearer feels that
a touch of color will make the hat
more distinctive it may have the
crown a mass Of green leaves or
formed entirely of pansies, forget-me-
nots or blue hyacinth blossoms.

other light weight woods are quite as

The suit consists of blouse and

brass buttons. At the shoulders are

Exhibiting Butter.

The maker Of butter, whether on
the farm or in the creamery, fire.
quently asks the question If it pays
to make an exhibit of butter at any
OF the various shows where oppor-
tunity is given for that kind of dis
play. 1t certainly does pay to ex-
hibit butter, both for the effect it has
on the general public and for the
influence on the one making the ex-
hibit. The cost of making an exhibit
Is slight, and the attention Of the but
termaker becomes centered on the
methods necessary to produce a good
article. 1t is proverbial that every
farmers wife believes she is one of
the best butter makers in the country.
The grocer that buys the butter dares
not tell her that she does not know
how to make butter, if she cannot, but
the butter Judge at the fair or show
will have to give her that information.
The movement among farmers wives
to learn more about ALTERNATING Is
a good one, and every one of them
should be encouraged to do her best
and send her product to the butter
show. The same is true of the cream
cry buttermaker. The managers Of
the creamery can we'll afford to pay
$40 or whatever it costs to exhibit
butter, just for the sake of getting
more information on how their own
butter looks when judged from the
standpoint Of the butter judge.

Then, again, in Paris the tweeds,

The Horse Still Popular.

The Horse Still Popular.
The horse industry is to-day, in q
dourishing condition, little correspond
ing to the predictions of some of our
commercial prophets ten years ago.
At that time we were told that we
were on the eve of horseless age.
To prove it the savants pointed to the
thousands Of people that were using
bicycles. 1t was said that agents had
been placed at the entrances to the
great parks in New York and other
cities and these counted the thousands
OF wheelmen and wheelwomen that
daily passed through the parks and
reported that only now and then a
carriage or mounted horseman was
seen. That was true ten years ago in
all the great cities of the country.
But how is it to-day?
Sit down at the entrance to any of
our great city parks in the summer
time and watch the passers-by. There
Will be seen a steady stream of car
rlages, with only now and then a man
or woman on wheel. It is evident
that the wheel was only a temporary
plaything for the public, and that
when the public grew tired of the
wheel 1t went back to the old friend
OF man-the horse.
Within ten years there has been
material increase in the number of
horses In the country and an increase
also in the value per head. The de-
mand has been greater than the sup
ply, and with the larger use of horses
has come an increased rapidity of
their wearing out. While the wheels
were being so freely used, many of
the driving horses in the cities spent
much Of their time in the barns or in
the pastures, but since the public re-
turned to the use of the horse the
3. work of the horse has increased, and
the consequent wear and tear Incl
dent to service and accidents has also
Increased.
The horseless vehicles that have
been introduced in the cities are but
an insignificant factor in the general
situation. Such vehicles are but the
playthings of the wealthy or are in
service in only a slight degree COM
mercially. They in no sense keep pace
with the tremendous increase in popu-
lation and business that our country
is witnessing The value of horses in
the United States is placed by the
taxing bodies at more than $1,000, 000,-
900, which valuation, as every man
knows, is far short OF the real, since
values for taxing purposes are never
anywhere near the actual values. Yet,
though the differentiation is consid-
cradle, this item of over one billion
dollars is an enormous one and gives
some idea of the great riches in horse.
flesh possessed by the nation.
That farmers should pay more at
tention to the raising of good horses
is evident. There is no doubt that
the demand for horses in the future
is to be even greater than it is at the
present time and that any man that
raises good horses of almost any kind
will be sure to realize good prices
for them.

Selecting the Dairy Bull.

Selecting the Dairy Bull.
The profitable dairy bull is one that
will produce female calves with high
milking powers and that will be able
to show great amount of vigor. 1t
IS not enough that he be able to pro-
duce calves with high milking powers.
Tho v1gor is an essential point, as
under heavy methods Of feeding, such
as are now practiced in modern
da1r1es, many Of our best developed
COWS break down. The bull therefore
must have in himself every indica-
ton OF great bodily vigor. The more
he has Of this, the more likely will
he be to Impress the same on his off,
spring, and place in them the power
OF continuing his good qualities. It
is not at all easy at this time to find
the kind of a bull that is likely to
have the good points we. are looking
Tor. There are great many poor
bulls In service, and their male off,
spring are growing up into the bulls
that are to be used in the future. We
have to-day few herds that we can go
to for the right kind of supply.
The carelessness of the public In
this regard is shown in the low prices
prevailing for bulls. The bull should
bring far higher price than a COW
and yet we find the bulls selling at
lower prices. We can but infer that
the breeders think that anything is
good enough for the male so long as
we have first class females. This has
been the great obstacle in the way of
the Improvement Of the milking quail
ties OF our dairy breeds. A man can
afford to pay fancy price for a bull
provided he can get the kind of a bull
he really needs.

Better Be Content With Small Means
and a Subordinate Position Than
Shorten Life with the Cares Of Re-

Is 1t better to earn $50 a week and
lose your nerve, or $40 a week and
keep your nerve? If you happen to
be one of the many who earn $40 you
will probably think the first named
condition the better of the two. That
is because you don't know what it is
to lose your nerve, or, more properly
speaking, to lose control of your
nerves.
There Is a woman who earned SIS
week in position requiring aver
age competence. She now earns twice
that sum in responsible Office that
absorbs almost every moment and
every interest of her waking hours,
and leaves her few to sleep in. She
likes, the work, but it makes tremen-
dous drains on all her resources of
mind and body. At the end Of each
week she looks little whittier, the
lines in her fore head are drawn a
little deeper, and she starts little
more nervously at the slightest sound.

to a question, II would give it up and
go back to my old work, my old hours
and my old pay if I could, for the
sake of having some time and spirit
to live my own life and enjoy the
beautiful world. But I can't. I need
the money"
In her case that need is fact,
There are others to be thought of,
and things to be done which that $50
week alone makes possible. But,
ah! the price paid; the nervous strain,
the sleepless nights, the loss of SIM
pie wholesome joy in living, the alb
sence of free, glad spirit. The pity
of it that the price should ever be paid
where it is not necessary.
Is that living? Ask the man in
high position whose large salary is
won at the cost of mental health and
retired peace and comfort. He will
tell you he was happier in spirit,
healthier in mind and body and truly
lived more deeply when he earned a
small but sure competence at less
terrific nervous strain.
The little birds that sing so joyous
ly, the flowers that bloom so sweetly
in their season, the stars that shine
on silently and serenely overhead
are they engaged in this mad scram-
BILE to earn more and still more? Nay,
nature is no money-maker. And her
happiest children are like her. Their
wants are simple, and their lives are
full Of spontaneous joy.
If you want many things you must
struggle to attain them; but you lay,
aside your peace Of mind when you
do, for getting begets wanting. Make
your wants simple; earn enough to
cover them, and have time and
strength left to live. Life is more
than possessions; happiness-fs some
thing other than many clothes ana
much to eat.
The happiest people in the history
of the world have been those who had
little material goods, and desired lit
tie. It simplifes life wonderfully not
to be concerned about what your
neighbor has or thinks. Few people
attain that rare height, but those who
do have solved the problem of happi-?
ness, and will freely confess that it
is better to have sound nerves at So
a week than be a nervous wreck on
five times $40.

Mold on Parchment Paper.

Many OF our readers use parchment
paper for lining the boxes in. which
they pack their butter, and now and
then they have trouble with mold
that appears on it and which not in
frequently gets into the butter. The
parchment paper is for the purpose
OF preventing this very thing. The
mold generally gets into the paper
when the latter is allowed to lie for
some time in ice boxes, retrigerators
or storage rooms in which the mold
has already developed. The mold
cannot grow spontaneously but comes
from minute seeds called spores. Un-
less these spores were on the paper
there could be no growth of mold.
.When the parchment paper was lying
Where mold was growing the spores
r1pened and fell on this paper. II the
paper is kept in dry clean places
where no mold ever appears it will
not in turn develop mold when it is
placed in contact with the moisture
that comes from the butter. Spores
cannot grow without moisture. When
such paper has been subject to con-
dltlons that would make the growing
OF mold possible the best way to pre-
vent the development of the mold is
to soak the parchment paper in a
strong brine In which has been mixed
one pound of formaldehyde to three
gallons Of brine. This soaking will
not injure the parchment paper, but
it will kill the spores of the mold.
When the same brine is to be used
several times in succession it should
be boiled between times to make
doubly sure that tho spores do not
escape.

A Guide to the Height Of Heels.
There are four different heights,
with as many different names of the
military heel alone. AS a guide to
those who want to be right on the
subject Of heels, remember the fol-
lowing: Up to one and one-quarter
inches heel is military, up to one
and five-eights inches it is a Cuban,
above that it is Spanish heel. When
It goes above two inches it is a Cas-

one and one-quarter to two inches
usually-and are called Louis XIV.

three Understand quite few women
