COlFFURE NOW
is BACKGROUND
FOR ORNAMENTS.

The chief purpose of woman's hair
this season would seem to be to serve
as a background for ornaments.
1t is nothing unusual to have six
or eight fancy combs and pins in
ore coiffure. and most of them are
large, and decidedly conspicuous.
Combs come now in sets of three.
Two are not sufficient and the larger
aid more elaborate they can be in
shape and carving the better.
In order to use so many ornaments
il is essential that the hair should
be much puffed and waved to make
more background, and a simple coif
fure is not to be thought of this sea-
son.
According to the style that is most
becoming, woman may wear her
hair either high Or low. but beyond
that she has no latitude. 1t must be
waved and rolls are necessary.
One of the newest styles for whcn
combs are especially made is one that
recalls the old French COLI of
eighteen Or twenty years ago.
| 1t is part of a high coiffure and is
made by spreading the first twist 50
that it extends from just little above
the neck to the top Of the head. In
former days this was made tight, and
then pinned closely. Now it is loose,
and is held by one long comb which
has projecting ornaments on the
back.
These slip over the COIL holding. il
firmly in place, though the effect is
/ Loose and soft. With this comb come
two more to match for the sides. In
a coiffure for which they are intended
the hair is guilt high. so that the
front view shows it above the POM
padour, where it serves as back
ground for a big ornament like but
terhy, or pair of wings. Most Of tho
loops are held in place with fancy

women should beware of.
To few it is becoming. giving to
the majority a hard and fast look to

charming and by modifying the sid
lines it frequently can be adopted

Indeed a large ornament in one way

It is impossible to overrate the in

when the hair is curled, and it is rath

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

cid shawls are found to be slightly
spotted and here and there a little
roth eaten. 1t must then be consider
Ell which color will dye best and be

One clever girl supplemented her
wardrobe quite extensively under the
inspiration of one of these lace
shawls. Primarily she had two silk
slips made, one of black with high
neck, the other Of an exquisite shade
Ct turqoise blue, and cut we'll out in
the neck.
Attached to the latter slip was a
quantity of delicate chiffon cloth OF
the same shade. Around the bottom
o. the skirt and below the elbow
especially it fell in soft tounces.
When with it the black lace over
dress was worn the combination wa-
most attractive, and not soul with

ATTIC TREASURES
FOR MODERN USE.

Sometimes laid away in the garnet
there are stuffs, time sOftened and
time mellOwed, which, if modishly cut,
form creations infinitely attractive.
In fact, there is the large white
crepe shawl, heavily embroidered in
Japanese stitch. and edged all about
with a solid silk fringe at least a
quarter of yard in width.
Forty years ago, perchance, when
hoops wore having their day, this

Awakening of Chin CSC.

"The awakening of the Chinese TO
the superior merits Of Western civili-
cation has been slow, but the Celes-
tials are gradually having their eyes
opened" said Mr.. Thomas Sanders,
who has lived in Pekin many years, to
a Post reporter at the Raleigh. "One
Of the surest signs Of the decay of con-
servatism in China is that ere long
the cruel practice Of binding the feet
Of the women is to be abolished. Con-
sidering the great repugnance Of the
people to changing the custom of CEN
turtles, this Is q wonderful triumph Of
modern ideas. Heretofore Chinese wO-
men Of the upper class were scarcely
thought elegant if their feet from toe
to heel measured over thirteen cent?
metres. This is but little over half the
length of the feet Of European women
Of the class that prides itself On deli
cate pedal extremities.

Study tho Matter.

A few days ago an Indiana cattle
grower marketed a few carloads Of
cattle weighing over 1900 pounds per
head at $6.10. On the same day an
other with a lot of cattle Of about the
same weight and general appearance
could obtain only $3.50. The beef cat
tie expert, who was able to see. the
thick notified meat as the first lot ap-
peared, saw a larger profit from the
block than he did in the cheaper lot.
They we're both grade Shorthorns, and
the difference was only in the feeding.
In view of these things, occurring al
most every day in the great markets,
it is we'll that the agricultural colleges
have taken up the subject Of cattle
feeding, and are teaching students
how necessary it is to feed properly in
order to obtain top prices in the mar
ket. The difference Of sixty cents per
100 pounds on cattle weighing 1900 to
1900 is too large a loss, when it may
be avoided by learning how to feed
properly and in a way requiring no
more time or labor, nor with feed
stuffs costing any more 1t is a mat
ter worth neutrality-suspicious. Farmer.

there for half an hour and then the
pressure will be reduced very slowly.
The next day the process will be re-
newed with q longer period in the
chamber and the pressure increased
considerably and the time Of "decom-
preston" rs it is called, extended.
This will be kept up unit! the men
show that they can probably withstand
the pressure necessary to enable them
TO work at a depth Of more than a
hundred feet.
When the work is really under way
these men will descend IN a tube by
means of q ladder to an air chamber
at the base OF the caisson. Entering
this, they will proceed to work the
boring shield and to brace the open
ing made by the boring machinery that
loosens the mud and sand by jets OF
water impelled by enormous pressure.
The debris is whizzed up a standpipe
TO the surface by the same power OF
compressed air. The men lay concrete
as rapidly as the level desired Is
reached and the weight Of the con-
crete sinks the caissor into the mud as
the mud and sand from within the air
chamber at the base Is Of the caisson
are removed. The further down the
caisson sinks the more air pressure Is
needed to keep out the weight of water
around the great hollow box.

Few occupations are more hazardous
than working in airlocks perhaps 4
hundred feet beneath the surface OF
the river or the level OF Manhattan

still more fatal paralysis seem to seize

to do for 4 workman who collapSeS

heavy that they were compelled to call
upon the porters for help.

The Best Cow Stan chion.

G. NJ. B., Schenevus, N. Y: I saw
your answer in regard to swing stanch-
ions. We are planning to build a
new barn and wish to use them, but
have had no opportunity Of seeing
them work. Will you kindly give me
a list in the order as you consider
best? I will then order samples.
This letter is one Of several asking
for the best cattle tie, or stanchion.
To answer such questions would only
be expressing my own individual opin-
ion. 1 am going to. say again in SUBJ
stance what I have said before. Any
man who contemplates building a COW
barn, and has the money to build one
with, has abundant means to spend o
few days in looking at what others
have built. Ee has abundant means
to attend his State fair, and can visit
both his State and Agricultural Col
lege and State Experiment Station.
All these are provided for at State
and Government expense for the ex-
press purpose of %instructing just such
men. Not alone s%tanchions, or cattle
ties, but watering devices, feeding
troughs, floors and drops so arranged
as to keep the cattle clean' are there
being tried or are in daily use. There
fore, 1 will say that if a man can't get
up energy enough to go and see for
himself, and for himself decide what
will best suit his needs, I don't think
it wisdom for any one else to try to
advise.
At the New York State Fair. in 1898,
there were on exhibition several diff
ferent kinds of cattle ties. For less
than S. one could go from Schenevus
and see them and return home. BY
adding SO more he could take in both
Geneva and Cornell. Yes, and more
than that, he could visit several up-to-
date dairy farms and see how the cat
tie were being cared for. I tell you,
my friends, and hundreds of others,
if you are expecting to build barns
and keep cattle, and keep abreast of
tine times and in line with other pro-
gressive men. you can't do it by stay
ing at home and asking any Il to tell
you which of this, that and the other
will be best for you. Five dollars ex-
pended in looking around for yourself
may save you hundreds of dollars. No
man can stay at home and read the
papers and keep in touch with the pro-
grcssive people Of the World. 1t is the
fellow WHO gets out of his clamshell
and skirmishes that secures the things
which make his business q success.
I might write you and tell you what
kind of q stanchion I thought was best
and when you got it you might think
differently and wish you had not done
cs I advised you to do. While 1t is
the object and aim of this journal TO
aid its subscribers in every way it
can it is not itx purpose 10 lay down
rules ID govern them il their business
projects. The purpose is moro t. lend
an aiding hand and strive to help them

The Best Poultry House.

For the information of new readers
we again attempt to reply to the Oft
repeated inquiry, (Which is the best
kind Of poultry house?" When a be-
ginner asks such q question. he does
so from his standpoint. He does not
take into consideration that the plan
ming Of a poultry house is as difficult
as to plan a dwelling house, so far rs
the preference of individuals is con
cerned. We might inquire on our part,
(Which is the best dwelling house?'
II you wish to give a reply, just take
q walk along any street or road, and
select the best. You will not find any
two houses alike, the reason being
that individual preferences differ.
There is no advice that can be CIV
en-. Even if a hundred plans Of poul-
try houses can be had, from which to
select, the same difficulty rs with a
dwelling continues, as the individual
preference and the cost of the house
are the dominant factors which gov
