Cut.GIass Bathtub.

A woman, not an actress nor Mrs
"Stuyve" Fish, danced into glass and
china house in Barclay street the 9th

ordering a cut-glass bathtub feet

Brass knocker in Fashion.

The brass knocker is again coming
into fashion and decorator says of it:
"The electric bell is all very well in
its way, but it is not in 1t for artistic
beauty with the imported knocker.
Every body raves over the spread eagle
Russian knocker, which comes in beau
tiful hammered brass, and everybody
likes the beautiful cherubs which lie
prone against the white woodwork of
the doorway, with the knocker part
suspended beneath. Since the era of
apartment living we have repeated
orders for knockers. The doorway of
pretty, artistic apartment house is
Just about complete when knocker
Is hung on the door. l never met the
person yet, especially the woman, who
did not like the knocker."

To Walk Gracefully.

It never occurs to some women to
ascertain whether they look graceful
or the reverse when they walk until
perhaps they catch a glimpse OF them
selves in passing a shop with a mir
ror in the window, and when they are
probably surprised, agreeably or 9TH
erwise. To walk gracefully, the body
must be held erect, with the shoulders
thrown back and the chest expanded;
the head should be slightly raised and
the knees should be slightly raised
and the legs moved from the hips,
Any rolling movement Of the body
should be carefully guarded against,
stiffness must be avoided and an erect
and yet easy attitude cultivated.

Milking Dual Cows.

In buying dual purpose cows the
fact should not be overlooked that II
possible they should come from herds
milked for a number of years. To call
a herd of Shorthorns dual purpose that
regularly suckle their calves is to i'm
pose upon the credulity of the public.
The same is true of Red Polls or OF
any dual purpose breed.
Anything and everything will not
suffice to make dual purpose animal.
Here is where the opponents of the
idea have got their strength. They
have called no purpose cattle dual pur-
pose and have held them up to ridicule.
Dual cows of the correct type are large,
deep bodied animals. They are mel
low fleshed They have nice hand
ling skin. They have more or less re-
finement of form. They have good
large glandular udders and we'll de-
veloped milk veins They are animals
that fill the eye. They are noble anil
mails when properly bred. They will

large numbers. There is fine open
ing for the breeding Of such cattle.
Those who breed up large herds will
be sure of rich reward. We know Of
no better work in which young men
can engage than in this work Of breed
ing high class dual cows.
The breeder, however, must under
stand his work. He must know what
the dual COW is. He must try to get
her. Unless he understands her form
he will be considerably at sea to what
to do. Let him retain milking quail
ties largely through the dams. Easy
keeping qualities will come largely
through the males selected accordingly,
but II possible, they should be de-
scended from a good milking ancestry.
Build up such herds. They are good
property. The want of skilled and
trusty mixers is an obstacle In the
way Of breeding dairy cattle of any
kind. Some Of our people must milk
cows, however, whether they want to
or not. Wages will not always be so
high as at present nor will work be
so plentiful.

Destroying Bag Worms.

It is a sad sight to see so many
arbor vitae and other nice trees de-
stroyed by the bag worm, which gets
It's name from the woven bag in which
1t lives and carries about with 1t. Even
in some of the public parks hedges OF
arbor vitae are sometimes seen entirely
stripped of leaves, those in charge ap-
pearing not to know what 1t Is that
Is destroying the trees, says Practical
Farmer. The worm Is In the bag, and
Is not visible from casual look. Many
and many worker among trees takes
the bags to be some cocoon, and has
no idea that they contain at the time
the living cause Of all their trouble.
But IL looked at closely the head OF
the worm will be seen protruding, aud
probably voraciously eating the fol-
iage of the trees. Of all the trees 1t
likes its preference is for the native
arbor vitae, Thuja occidentalis, but 1t
will take other evergreens, as we'll as
some deciduous trees. AS the worm
can be pulled off of the twigs by TAX
ing hold of the bags it can often be
better gotten rid of in this way than
any other, but dose of Paris green
will fix them, as they are voracious
feeders, and are not long reaching the
poisoned foliage. Their chief feeding
months are those of June, July and
August. When the bags are found
hanging to the trees later in the season
they should be pulled off, as some OF
them contain eggs for the next years
brood.

Flea Beetle in Gardens.

The turnip receives the attention Of
the flea beetle In the fall. Earlier In
the season the insect was looking af-
ter the cabbage, radish, mustard and
the crusiferous plants generally. 1t
is small, about one-tenth of an inch
long, but It's appetite is large enough
1t eats holes in the leaves and does a
reasonable amount of damage in this
way. Not content with that, however,
1t lays its eggs about the roots of the
plants upon which 1t feeds. The lar
vac which soon hatch live upon the
roots and do considerable injury when
numerous. Tobacco powder or tea
will keep the bugs away. Ashes, lime
or plaster will drive them away and
is sufficient in seasons when they are
not too plentiful.-Not. F. G.

Dairy Advice,

Sailing butter by guess and by golly
brings just the result that might be
xpected-butter which nobody wants
and which nobody will have when he
finds out how it was made.
Most folks have scales in their
houses, but somehow they never seem
to think it necessary to use them, save
now and then when the baby is to be
weighed or something like that. Scales
were made to weigh anything and
everything. Think of this when sailing
butter. Find out how much the fresh
butter weighs, then salt accordingly.
Some folks fail to strike a good re-
liable market among private customers
because they do not take pains to salt
their butter as the people who buy like

A New Use for Chalk.

A friend, who Is her own maid-of-
all-work, has found way to make her
table cloth do service for little
longer time, even after numerous spots
disfgure its snowy whiteness. She
rubs a piece of chalk over the spots as
they appear. This has a magical effect
and completely conceals them from
view. If the spots are of grease, the
chalk has tendency to absorb it, in
stead of simply concealing it, so that
when the cloth goes to the wash tub,
1t is often impossible to find the spot,
the chalk having entirely effaced it.

The next pickles that came to the
house were added to the jar. BY the

Phosphate for Turnips.

If turnips are sown too early they
are quite apt to become tough and
stringy One of the causes Is the pre-
mature ripening, the result of de-
flciency of phosphoric acid in the soil.
An application of this fertilizer In
some available form will assist to cor
rect the defect. A good form of 1t is
dissolved phosphate rock, which can
be used at the rate Of two or three
pounds to the square rod. 1t is of most
value upon seed bearing plants, but has
It's uses elsewhere. 1t tends to pre-
vent too rapid growth and early rip

Alice and Katie Peterson, Bound

FATHER CANNOT BE LOCATED
Carl G. Peterson, Said to Be From
kenosha, Was to Have Met the
Two Children When They
Landed at New York

Alice and Katie Peterson, aged IA
and 10 years respectively, are being
held by the government authorities at
the immigration bureau in NewsYork
pending the arrival of Carl G. Peter
son, their father, who is said to be a
kenosha man, but who cannot be To-
Gated. The two little girls arrived on
vessel from Stockholm, Sweden, less
than a week ago, and if the father is
not found within few days the girls
will be deported.
All efforts to locate Peterson, the
father, in this city have been of no
avail, and other people in the city
bearing the same name state that they
can give no information which will
lead to his discovery.
Peterson, who is. brickmason, for
merly resided in Kenosha, but it is
stated that he left here more than
year ago and no one has heard from
him since his departure. At that time
it was known to Kenosha people that
ne had two daughters in Sweden, and
that he had planned for the past three
years to have them join him in this
country as soon as they became old
enough to leave the home of their
grandmother, with whom they had
been living since the death of the
mother some eleven years ago.
When the girls arrived'in New York
they had only small amount of
money, and under the lawsgoverning
such cases they weressssnot allowed to
remain in the country unless they
could show that they had some one
who would support them in a suitable
manner.
The girls showed the inspectors
letter from their father, (Which bore
Kenosha postrnark, but it had been
written many months ago. In this
letter the father sent the children
money to make the trip to Kenosha
and stated that he would go to New
York and meet Ethem. The young
women had notified the father of their
coming, and it is thoughtg possible
that Peterson has met with some mis-
hap in New York City. In the letter
Peterson stated to the daughters that
he owned property Gin Kenosha and
that the family !wou1d make their
home in this city as soon as the girls
arrived from their native land.
The property owned by Peterson is
on Jay street, butt has been rented
for more than year.
