first game for the Lunatics yester-

Chenault says that of the two pitch

the latter the better, but Frakes has

Dublin and London and Paris; and
why, in the end, Irish crochet lace has
come to be the most important lace in
the world today.
Baby Irish is like real Irish. except
that the thread is much finer and the
knots and threads are repeated many
times more often. The patterns are
miniatures of the real Irish patterns,
and now number somewhere in the
thousands, as against the three first
learned by Lady Aberdeen.
And now France-the ubiquitous-is
making Irish crochet and Baby Irish;
but with her fingers She is doing it
by misunderstanding the real Irisha
designs on the Baby Irish mesh, and
creating genuine French edition ol
this most exquisite and snowy lace. I

Hatpin Projects and Menaces.

The long hatpin is regarded with
esteem, not only as valuable imple-
ment of the toilet, but also as an in
strument of defense, and well is that
young woman armed who has the
courage to use it when attacked. This
was shown in New Jersey recently
when a Millyille girl was seized by a
highwayman. She put him to igno-
minious fight by jabbing the weapon
into him with such effect that he was
glad to get away.
Highwaymen have reason to fear
the hatpin, but peaceable law-abiding
citizens also stand in danger of being
punctured by the sharp points. One
of New York's dangers in this era
of indented chapeauX, perched on the
top Of masses Of ringlets and puffs, is
the murderous weapon projecting out
the side of the fall hat. Men riding
in the street cars stand in constant
dread of losing their eyesight, because
of the business point of the hatpin
thus menacing them. The altitude of
a woman's hat is normally ON the level
of mans eyes, and when the car
aisles are packed poor man is power
less to dodge the points of hatpins,
which stick out in all directions In
rounding sharp curves when there is
much swaying among the strap-hang
ers, a man faces blindness or a terri
bic gouge in the cheek from the ex-
gested that corks be worn on the
sharp points to save injury to the pub
lie. They might be made very. orna-
mental, and as safety device would
be welcomed.

"Must Be Vigorous

Wherever I have been among the
farms of different States there seems
to be failure to appreciate the differ
ence between fowls Of fine constitution
and those of little less than average
yigor. No doubt this is because the
conditions in general assume fairly
good average constitution. The fact
that birds running at large are not like
ly to be so closely observed as those in
confinement also plays part.
One who raises fancy stock soon
learns to rate good constitution high
er than any other one feature, except
in the case of fine exhibition birds. If
he wants to buy bird for a breeder,
one Of his requirements particularly
noted is sure to be, "Must be vigor-
ous." Sometimes it will read, "Must
be exceptionally vigorous" and at this
time of the year, when the culling of
the f1ocks practically decides the
amount Of success that is to follow the
next seasons operations, it is we'll for
every one who handles domestic fowls,
either for utility only or as extra fancy
stock, to learn not only to distinguish
between the bird of fine constitution
and the one with weak hold on life,
but also to harden his heart against
giving the latter "the benefit of the
doubt."-C. S. Valentine, in Tribune
Farmer

Simplicity is the keynote of all the

Among the very new models princess
street frocks are seen. These are not

ing made in two pieces.
1t is probable that skirts will be

her two thin arms and shoulders are

Rage For Irish Crochet.

If there is a craze for real Irish GRO
Chef, the fashionable world is COM
pletely mad on the subject of ''Baby
Irish.''
1t was the real Irish that Lady Aber-
deem saved from being totally forgot
ten as an art. When she got the idea
of making it source of revenue to
the half-starving, beautiful, blue-eyed
Irish peasant girls whose deft fingers
had not lost the cunning Of the
stitches which they had learned in
youth.
Lady Aberdeen learned the art of
making it from her: learned the few
patterns the old lady knew, and then
set herself the task, first of teaching
the Irish girls, and then of creating
a market for the lace they made.
That's how she came to bring Irish
crochet lace over to the Worlds Fair;
how she came to establish depots in

"Pig Pointers"

Don't keep breeding stock overfat.
Give the pigs a creep where they
can get feed apart from the sows.
Pumpkins are an ideal regulator and
will beat many "crack" stock foods.
Don't walk among dead and diseased
swine and then let your own snuff your
germ laden boots and clothing.
A pedigree is of small value when
attached to scrub.
Provide plenty of shade and pure
drinking water in hot weather, but let
the pigs have sunshine if they wish it.
Scours in little pigs seldom occur
where the sow is properly fed and
housed; heating food and filthy quar-
tiers are the cause.
Growing stock and breeding stock
require plenty Of exercise, causing
strength and good appetite.
The man who gives his swine the
manure pile as their ration is Matching

Rheumatism is generally caused by
damp sleeping quarters. Provide a

Journey to Handy even from Lapland,
and all come to worship an enshrined
tooth.
Although even the most intelligent
priests of Buddhism assert solemnly
that the tooth they guard was once a
part Of the body of the founder of
their religion, in their heart they must
know that if Buddha ever carried this
tooth in his head and the rest of his
teeth were of proportionate size his
mouth must have been as large and
ferocious as that Of a gorilla. On the
other hand, if this tooth was an excep-
ton to the rest it mnst have protrud-
ed from his lips like the tusk Of a wild
boar. According to the priests the sa-
cred relic is an eye tooth from the left
side of Buddha's mouth. The eye
teeth Of an adult man are about three
quarters of an inch long The "holy
TOOTH is more than two inches long.
The early records of Buddhism tell
of a tooth of great teacher which
figured in the state ceremonies Of
many Eastern potentates. For time
it remained in India, the native country
of the prophet, and Travelled in state
from one court to another. 1t was
the marriage dover Of many princesses
of the royal blood, and it's possession
was believed to insure happiness both
in this and after existences. As a

we DO not know. A few years ago
we kept quite an accurate account OF
what the lambs ate. for then II was
essential that we should, for we were
tread1ng on uncertain ground. OF late
we nave not kept so accurate an ac-
count OF things. Here, roughly. is
Wnat we have done. The lambs were
bought in November on the Chicago
market. There were two lots: one
weighed forty-seven and half and
the other fifty-four pounds on the ay-
erage. We put them on feed as usual
III the sheds, giving alfalfa hay alone
Tor some days, then alfalfa hay with
little corn silage added. The corn
sllage was made from we'll ripened
corn, SO that it had on it a good deal
OF grain and was not much acid. The
corn sllage and alfalfa hay formed the
main ration until about Christmas
when they were carefully introduced
TO ear corn. We never shell corn for
lambs, but break the ears into short
lengths right at first.
About January / the 1000 lambs wera
eating 1900 pounds Of alfalfa hav nor
day with $500 pounds of silage. They
were getting hardly any other grain
at that time, but later it was SLOWLY in
creased In amount. We fed the 1000
lambs nearly all the silage that two
slios held, the silos being sixteen by
thlrty-two feet and filled twice-that is
allowed to settle, then filed again-per-
maps 200 TONS of it. They consumed
much less corn than any lambs we had
ever before. They gained well and the
death loss was light We SHARED
them early in April and shipped them

elghty-eight and one-half pounds. We
seemed never to be able to make them
double in weight of late years. They
all ran in two lots.

Keep the onion Field Clean.

I can bear witness that it is neces-
sary to keep the onion field clean il
good crop is to be expected. Onions
do not cover the ground as completely
with their tops as do some other plants,
and it is therefore necessary that more
work be done with hoe and cultivator.
The corn crop, the potato crop, the
bean crop, all shade the ground with
their tops and help to keep down
weeds, but we have very little help OF
that kind from the onion.
I remember the field of neighbor
of mine that I used to see every day
during one summer. He got behind
with his work and paid more atten-
ton to his corn than he did to his
onion field, which covered several
acres. The weeds came up thickly
and it was not many weeks before
their roots formed almost a complete
mat in the soil and checked the growth
of the onions. When the man got
around to cultivating that field he de-
clared that it was useless to attempt
to get the weeds down, as they were
thriftier than the onions. The onions
had been dwarfed, and the work Of
cleaning out the weeds would not be
paid for by the onion crop now already
stunted and cut short, in spite of any
thing that could be DONE
1t will not pay to put on extra help
for few days if the onions need to be
cultivated, especially when the wealth
er is wet and the plants and weeds are
growing rapidly. After the growing
season is largely over it is not mat
ter Of great moment, or not so great as
it was earlier. But now for the next
few weeks no time should be lost ii

Women With Federal Jobs.

1t is more than forty years since
General Spinner, who has been called
"the father of the employment of wom-
en- in the Federal service" found
places for a few women in the Treas
ury Department at Washington. He
was then Treasurer of the United
States. and there was a great dearth
of eligible employees in consequence Of
the drafts made upon the young men
of the country by the Civil War. Gen
eral Spinner proposed the employment
of women in place Of men, and the
idea which he started has gone on al
most uninterruptedly since, but not to
the extent that is popularity supposed.
By the last Government report it
appears that there are $4,000 men in
the Federal service of the Government
as clerks, bureau chiefs and messen-
gers, Of whom not one-half receive
$3.50 year or less.
There are 1880 women and girls
in the Federal departments, of whom
1888, somewhat more than half, re-
ceive less than $72O a year. OF this
number 2OOO are in the postoffice serv-
ice 1850 in the Treasury Department
1900 in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, 1000 in the Indian service
$50 in the Government Printing Office,
200 in the War Department, $50 in
the Pension Office, Sc in the Navy De-
partment, 797 in the Department of
Agriculture and 10 in the Department
of State.
Less than ten per cent. of the Fed
eral employees are women, and great
majority Of them hold minor positions
at small pay. An outcry was made
after the close of the Civil War by
those who feared that by the employ
ment of women and girls men were
deprived of fair chance of livelihood
in Washington, but the fact is that the
number of men has increased very
much more largely than the number of
women in Federal departments during
the last twenty-five years.-NeW York
