At the theater and opera many elegant
points are noticed, which inexpensive shop

ample, the deep lace collars which fall as
berthas from the neck of low-cut gowns
are reproduced in form by many clever im1-

decoration to turn out quite splendidly.
Women who understand this buy coarse
lace collars, and treat the pattern to tinsel
or black chenille outlinings, sewing In
beads, tiny buttons or minute chiffon flow

lar is admirable with turquoise blue, which
permits an effective sprinkling of little tur-
quoise stones Biscuit lace with black che
nile and jet is also an effective combina-
ton, and one admirably suited to a velvet
or chiffon waist

A Good Combination.

A splendid powder for use IN sachets is
composed of violet ana carnation In equal
parts. 1t has an especially delicate odor.
Another favorite combination is helitrope
and violet, and the girl who prefers the
simple violet scent will find the sweetness
of the powder more lasting If she mixes
1t with orris root. Combined sachet pow
ders retain their fragrance longer If mixed

tiny little bags made of China silk and

also as padding for the under-arm seam,
or for the front of a bodice. Coat hangers

bags dangling from long narrow ribbons on
each end.
Dainty sachets for keeping lingerie and
neckwear sweet are square cushions of
satin, filled with three thicknesses of sheet

The outspoken romance of the Ger

different habit. The author of the trav-
Journal describes a young girl whom
she met at German bath, a pretty.
doll-like creature, named Marie, who
knew how to sit still and do nothing
all day long.
Presently it was discovered that Ma

boldly.
"My brautigam is young, handsome,
RICH" she said proudly, looking up to
a tall English girl of seventeen. "And
have you not bridegroom too? Or
did you never have one?"
The English girl had never before
felt the humiliation caused by the lack
Of a bridegroom. So she shamefacedly
confessed that some one liked her. only

a party of English in the vicinity.

There are a few simple points that
all dairymen should remember:
A dairy COW needs comfortable shell.
ter in bad weather. plenty of clean.
nourishIng food and kind treatment
every day In the year. If she is han
died roughly she will retaliate by caus-
ing the owner a direct financials loss.
Her great, dlstended udder will not
permit of abuse or long journeys at a
rapid gait. She must have tender
treatment when the milk Is being
drawn and when she Is being driven
to and from the pasture.
A dairy COW is taxed to the utmost
in loading milk with every element
necessary for human food, and excite
ment disturbs and often retards the
process Of the perfect elaboration of
secreting the milk the COW demands
unusual quiet and comfort
Easy going management and tender
and almost affectionate treatment from
youth TO age are most conducive to the
development of that domestic nature
of the COW which is so much in har-
mony with country life.
While the kindly hearted dairyman
admires the marked features of docil-
ity, gentleness and beauty In every in
dividual COW and his heart rejoices in
the fact that she Is tenderly treated,
1t is necessary that he study the prop
critics OF the grains and grasses with
which tho animal IA fed
He should mix the food with careful
hands, and II ii seem necessary he
should sell other dairy food In order
that he may purchase such feeding
stuff as to form a well balanced ration
This sometimes insures the largest re-
turns for the least money expended.
The crops should always be harvest
ed at the time when they will do the
cows most good and then fed with a
liberal hand.
The capable dairyman avoids the
ruinous effects OF cows hooking each
other by removing the bud of the horn
from the calf This practice has saved
the life Of many a valuable COW and
still more valuable man and has solved
the question of economy OF stable
building and protection of the weak
from the strong.-Cor. Farm Progress.

To Cure n Sucking Heifer.

AS all dairymen know, there is no
greater nuisance on dairy farm than
a COW or heifer addicted to the habit
of sucking herself and other animals
In the head. says w. Stenson In Amer
lean Cultlvator. 1t is not only the loss
of the milk that is sustained. but it
would seem that one such animal
would induce others to contract the
habit. We have had our share OF this
trouble with heifers.
Insert I'm the sucking heifers nose
an ordinary bull ring. Just before in
sorting the ring slip on 1t two common
iron harness rings-of course the har-
ness rings are to suspend loosely after
the bull ring has been inserted. This
is the trick of 1t. BY adding more than
one loose ring the animal can in no
way prevent them from dropping in
the mouth when 1t attempts to suck.
Brass bull rings can be purchased at
almost any hardware store for % cents
each. and the common harness rings
cost but few cents per dozen.

CREAM RAISING.
Advantages OF the shallow Pan
Method For Small Diaries.

Method For Small Diaries.
Shallow pans are the order of the
day, as rule, In the small diaries
where there are less than six cows
kept for butter and cream, says +. Nc
Cornell In the Dairy The milk must
be set warm after straininA through
two thicknesses OF muslin to extract
all dregs or dirt and in pans holding
from one TO four gallons. The milk
cools naturally, and the cream rises
by gravitation into thick layer, much
depending on the temperature OF the
dairy. Many people skim twice in the
twenty four hours, but II is best In
cold weather to let the milk stand and
skim only once. The greater part Of the
cream rises In the first twelve hours,
and If the milk is disturbed the rest
OF the "fat" may never rise at all.
Cream obtained in the "open air"
method is of the finest flavor, requires
shorter time to ripen and makes
better favored butter than machine
skinned material. Flat pans, Of
course require lot of room, but not
so much for limited number of cows,
while Jacketed pans of the Jersey"
type are the best for use In this way.
IL the milk is set warm, even heated
up to 100 degrees, and then a trickle
Of cold water passed through the

CANADA AS A BANIsHER.

Canada has suffered SO much In
the past for her trick OF banishing
people that we greatly wonder that
she continues the policy. even though
she is trying 1t on American citi-
Eens now, instead OF upon British
subjects of the maple leaf brand.
The Dominion had been banishing
her own natives TO this country to
such an extent that In the year 1900
there were resident In the United
States 1.179.807 natives OF the Do
minion and Newfoundland, of whom
7S4,741 were English speaking and
$4,000 French. AS the popula-
ton OF the whole OF Canada in 1901
was but 5.371,315, 1t is easy TO see
that the Dominion was exiting a very
large percentage OF its population
The 45,171 persons who removed
from the United States to Canada in
the year 1904, mostly attracted by
cheap wheat lands in the northwest
and by the mines of British Column
bia, were numerically a poor ex-
change for the exiles.--N. Y. Mail.

Well ripened cream gives butter Of
quicker, higher flavor than sweet
cream. 1t Is more churnable also and,
as a rule, Is more satisfactory for
buttermaking generally Few farm
diaries are equipped with all modern
facilities for buttermaking and often

tages which are extremely discourag

attention must be paid to the cream

HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
Groen Sailor Boy Wanted to See One, and He Was Quickly Ac-
 commodated.

A waterspout Is one of the first things . green sailor boy wants to see. He has read about it as one of the wonders of the sea, and 1t rouses his keenest curl osity. He gets the old sailors to promise to call him when one is sighted. They promise, winking stealthily at each oth- CT, relates an exchange.
 The ship gets down into tropical wa- ters, and the boy Is told that a water spout may come along almost at any time.
 One night he Is awakened suddenly. An old sailor shakes him.
 Come on! Hurry up, young feller: there's waterspout on the starboard bow bearing right down on us"
 The boy hastens up the companions way without waiting tO 6rsss, and Az he darts out on decK ne IS thrown down by mass of water descending on him like 6 wet mountain. He struggles to his feet, gasping, sputtering:
 "Wa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout?"
 The sailors are around him roaring. Then he looks up above the companions way and sees an empty hogshead. Having seen and felt the waterspout, he descends to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns in. Next time waterspouts in great num- bers may be reported on both bows, but he will have no particular desire to ob- serye them.

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An> nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to recently issued censul bulletin, the real rank of cities Is not al- ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population Some great centers have Q considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos. ton Is good example; about 1,200, ,000 people live in sight of the state house dome, and less than 60O.00O of them are governed by the Boston mayor. Other cities have annexed far into the farm lands of the adjacent country. says Youths Companion.
 It Is customary to speak of the popula- tion of a state, ''in proportion to its size" Such comparison Is seldom made of cities. although 1t might not be uninteresting. Pittsburg. for example, has a population of third of million on 18.000 acres of ground; New York s population. little more than ten times as great, spreads over nearly F umsa as many acres.
 Chicago was long famous for its an. nexation habit. but since 1890 New York has annexed much more territory than Chicago's total area. New Orleans has & slightly larger area than Chicago. Each of them covers six times the area of Baltimore.
 Washington. which occupies the Mary land part of the ten miles square set aside for national capital. Is a fair sized city as area goes. for this genera Non. It may seem small & century hence, although 1t looked abundantly ample for all the purposes of urban development when laid out.
 In the case of cities, as we'll as of other corporations, consolidation Is plainly one of the tendencies of the times. More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1890. Townships and counties are occasionally subdivided, by reason of local interests, but the cities seem to be steadily pushing their boun. daries outward There are some eco. homie reasons for this. but the reason sn many cases has been the desire of their inhabitants to make "good show.
