WILL INTEREST THE WOMEN.
Needle Work Display From Minnesota
School of Agriculture.

The department of domestic art in the
Minnesota school of agriculture has sent
its exhibit to the st. Louis fair. Two
large cabinet boxes were filled with
examples of the needle work of the Min
nesota farmers girls, and the original de-
signs in shirtwaists, and underwear.
Mrs. Margaret Blair, teacher of domestic,
art at the school, has had the garments
and samples for the exhibit in prepara-
ton for several months, some Of the
girls of the agricultural college, as well
as the school contributing to it.
An attractive feature of the exhibit
is the full suit of underwear, comprising
four pieces and designed and made en-
tirely by hand by girls of the school. On
every ruffle of the petticoat and night
gown are five rows of handwork-a row
of hem stitching and tucks, and the let
ting in of insertion by means of the
beautiful rolled hem.
The effect of this hem, which is sewed
at the same time the lace is stitched on,
is surprisingly dainty and decorative.
| The night gown has round yoke of in
sertion and lace, and the full bishop
sleeves are finished with deep ruffle
But the sheer linen and lovely lace are
not prettier in effect than the fine stitch
ing employed in their fashioning.
The entire exhibit has been carefully
designed to show the extent and sequence
of the work at the school. The cabinet
leaf preceding the underwear has the
drafting of the various pieces of thu
suit pictured, while that preceding thu
shirt waists has the steps in waist-draft
ing illustrated.
i There is one waist of white linen, anC
another of blue japanese linen embroid
cred in wheat. Both, like the underwear
are made from designs originated by
the students. The waists have prett,
collars of the same material, with turn
edover edges and each is finished with {
hemstitched tie of the material. Thi
gives much neater appearance thar
can be obtained by contrasting col
lar.
, There is a pretty corset cover mad
, from sheer embroidered linen hand
kerchiefs, also skirt charts showing hov
, skirt may be drafted without patterl
, and to fit any figure. Of the numerou
, photographs, that showing the thirty
, three girls of the last graduating clas
in their graduating frocks of their owl
: designing and making, serves best t.
, show the extent of the dressmaking de
, partment. The exhibit is completed b,
several sampler books and essays on tex
tiles and the sewing basket.

THOUGHTS ON THE HOG.

No man or beast has suffered the con-
tumely so freely vented upon the hog.
I believe the Jews started the eondem-
nation and the Mohammedans followed,
Today, even in Christian countries, it is
considered disrespectful to call one a
''hog." just think how, in the lapse of
ages, this beast has been Inundated
From the fierce, charging wild-boor,
whose head was considered choice tro-
ply for my lord, and whose tusks hung,
jewelled, in the armory, he has become
the common prey of the sausage-maker.
His noble front that was wont to meet
the huntsman's spear, is changed to
humble cringing and his tusks have been
withdrawn to meet the popular demand
for peace.

FIREMEN RAISE A RUMPUS.

Austin, Mimi, April 29.-At a meeting
of the new city council petition was
received from the fire companies fol-
the reappointment of Fire Chief Dugan
The petition was disregarded and Mr.
Jensen appointed chief, it is supposed for
political reasons. The fire companies in
formed the council that unless this ap-
pointment was reconsidered they would
all resign May l, which would leave the
city with new chief and no organized
companies.

FADS.

A "fad" is taste or pursuit that
temporarily engages the fancy, and then
dies out, as, for example, the hundreds
of so-called "predigested" breakfast
foods that flooded the market a few
months ago. There is nothing "faddy'
about Pillsbury's vitos. 1t was the first
wheat flour on the market. It is pure
wholesome food that can be served in
a hundred ways. If you have never
tried vitos, get a package at your gro

nose is of great value to the hog raiser,
for when the animal dies he can insert
it in some other nose.

So, perhaps after all the hog ought to
be glad he can so variously bestow
blessings on a free people. He ought to
glory that he is packed more here than
in any other country, gives labor
to more men, builds up more cities and
enriches more farmers las well as Ar
mours) than any other beast of the
field, fowl of the air or fish of the sea.
Why, the glory of his forefathers is as
naught to the usefulness he has attained.
Let us do all we can to make his short
stay amongst us pleasant, and let us
hope he will continue to visit this spec
ical summer resort regularly as can be.

Today we find the hog settled various

demand by the American farmer, es-
pecially after he has invaded field of

authenticated Berkshire to the razor
backed product that calmly shifts the
fever-laden air of the solid south

Today but little of the visible hog is
unused, wherever piece of meat may be
procured by the artist who officiates at
the slaughter and afterwards cuts his
coat of arms in the glistening hide, it is
properly named and filed away to be
prepared for the criticism of Madame,
the house keeper. What cannot be thus
gotten together in sufficient mass be-
comes the idolized sausage and head
cheese of the plebs. The trotters make
excellent mucilage, and the bristles are
used in the famous horse-hair mat
tresses. While the hide proper is manu-
featured only into base ball covers as
yet, it probably will succeed those of
the buffalo, wolf and dog; for it sheds
water better than ducks back, be-
sides being far easier to wear. The
tail has found no warm place yet in the
hearts of the people, but is intensely adj
mired by society women who copy its
delicate curl in preparing Pug for his

The Condition of Senator
 Hanna Is PreCariOuS
WEAKENED BY THE FEVER
Physicians Hopeful That Its Wasting Has Ended, but There Is Nothing to Do Now but Await the Developments of the Next Few Hours.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Senator Han precarious. His physicians realize this and are watching the case with the greatest copcern.
 The senator is much weaker today. and as a result his pulse had run up, at six o'clock to 104; pulsations to 100 per minute. His increased weakness is a direct result of the fever, as there are no complications. The physicians hope the fever has reached it's worst stage, but whether or not it has, they declare, they are unable to say
 They are simply waiting for develop ments, and realize that the patient has lost ground during the last two days. Stimulants have been given the sena- tor during the day. and with beneficial results. He rested we'll during the past twenty-four hours. This latter feature of the case is encoura ging to the phy- sicians.
 Extraordinary precautions are being taken to insure quiet in and around the hotel. so that the senator may get all the natural sleep possible. Motor men of street cars almost a block away have been requested not to ring their gongs, as their sudden changing seem ed to irritate the senator.
 After the evening visit of the physi- clans Senator Hanna slept for abou: an hour and a half. which refreshed him. Dr. Carter remains at the hotel all the time, so as to be on hand in case there is a call for him.

CLEANING UP
It Is Found That Contents of Vaults
 Are Uninjured.

Baltimore. Feb. 11.-The progress which has been made today in the work of clearing the debris from the streets of Baltimore seems almost mag ical. Baltimore street, which at sun- rise was a confused mass of rubbish. is practically cleaned, likewise South street, enc of the great banking thor oughfareS. Hanover street, near where the fire started, was made passable for wa gems and Pratt street, a long avenue of trade, is clear of membranes all t2e way through.
 The city engineers department, the building inspector and the cleaning de- partr1ent all worked in conjunction. No attempt was made to do more than clear the streets from curb to curb, the debris being piled up on the sidewalks and back of the building line. Many dangerous walls which overhung the streets were pulled down. All the fin ancial concerns are making efforts to open safes and vaults. Those of the German bank and the German Fire Insurance company were openad and the cash and books taken out unn- 1ured. The vault of the Marine bank was opened this afternoon and found intact. In no instance have the con tents of the vaults been seriously dam aged.
