MILLINERY.


Black and whites hats in handsome
models are more favored this season
than ever before, and although this
is a season of color, all smart women
have at least one black and white hat.
The color line noticeably runs from
cherry and poppy reds out to the palest
tone of rose and pastel pinks, from
dahlia purple to the faintest mauve;
through Dresden and SAKE to cell,
pastel and snow blues; from strong
moss green to the palest tone of the
color, and in browns from the very
dark and golden hues, although sew
eral yellow tones out to ecru. The
absence of grays up to this time is
marked, but they are very likely to
come out later.
The flower combinations are all
that can be desired, and for women
who like all kinds of flowers on the
one hat there are innumerable ways
and designs with which flowers
might be well used. Some of the
shapes which turn up at the back
have a veritable flower garden for
their decoration. One red rose, one
carnation, several sprays of lilies of
the valley, perhaps yellow flower
and a few green leaves are all en-
banked together, not to say anything
of the ribbon, which may be of an
entirely different color. There are
evidently two ways for dressing now
adays, and that is to have everything
match and not have anything alike.
Before the end of the season women
become rather tired of the one color
scheme. and they are pleased to wear
something which contrasts. The
large hat is indeed extinct. Women
have had their fill of these and they
have gladly relinquished all claim on
the picture hat even for evening or
important occasions. The vogue has
lasted a remarkably long time, but
with the passing of the pompadour it
was sure to follow.

as much as possible during the day,
while at night sleep with the bedroom

of at least four or five inches. Fol-

Cleanliness is next to godliness." 1t
is a fertilization against disease.
5. Worry not nor grieve. This ad-
vice may seem but cold philosophy,
and to be easier to give than to fol-

sons of a worrying disposition almost
entirely break themselves of it by
simple effort of the will. Worry kills.
6. Learn to love work and hate in

Z. Have hobby. A man with
hobby will never die Of senile decay.
He has always something to occupy
either mind or body; therefore, they
remain fresh and vigorous.
8. Take regular exercise in the

8. Keep regular hours, and insure
sufficient sleep.
10. Beware of passion. Remember
that every outbreak shortens life to a

lives long.

KNITTING as RECREATION.

A prominent physician near Bosto1|
advocates knitting as an occupatiol
especially suited to persons who, for /
time, are equal to little eXertlon-men4|
tai or physlcal-and who find 1t truly
hard work to sit in absolute idleness
says q writer in Good Housekeeping
Moreover, he himself tried the pre-
scription before giving it to his pa
tients. Recovering from long and
severe attack of typhoid fever, he
found that merely to Give out Of doors
and keep cheerful was much more
difficult than 1t had seemed when he
had prescribed it for other people.
Even listening to reading proved IA.
tiguing, and one day, in desperation,
he began to cut out paper dolls, and
then to color pictures in a magazine,
as he had seen his children do. Another
day he demanded silver to Clean and
finally he polished up some of the
family jewelry. All this, however,.
although providing the necessary occu-
patton, was unsatisfactory because Of
it's comparative uselessness. 1t was
not necessary that the silver should
be polished daily, and there were
already more paper dolls in the house
than the children could dress in
month. 1t was then that he learned
from his mother the plain knitting
which has comforted so many women
who always want something in their
hands" There was no counting Of
stitches necessary. and the monotonyi
proved restful, while the occupat ion
was dieerting. With hands busy on
something to be used by his wife
daughter, or even by the little girls
doll, he could ioon listen to reading
without WEAKNESS or impatience.
Even now, fifty recovered and busy
with large and varied practice he
occasionally takes up knitting to rest.
thus literally working out in action
his theory, that real recreation seldols>
comes to naturally active man,
through absolute idleness. One of his
patlents-a bog 10 years old-who was
stricken with paralysis several months
ago, now knits with much interest,

fingers are doing something worth
while and his mind is free either to-
work or rest.

HORSES OR OXEN.

The New Hampshire Experiment
Station has been keeping an account
of the cost of feeding horse, that
weighed 1900 pounds, for n year, he
being kept at moderately hard work,
and say that it costs ST4S2. In round
numbers, then, it costs $50 year to
feed pair OF such horses, and the cost
of shoeing would be about SIS more,
While repairs to harnesses and keep
ing them cleaned and oiled would make
another $40. Then the ordinary farm
er will not make such pair of horses
last more than ten years, and many
would use them up in half that time.
Say that they cost $500, which is not
q fancy price, and yet does not mean
a cheap pair that can not do fair
days work. Can they do any more
work on a farm than a yoke Of good
four.year-old oxen? Can they do any
work that the oxen cannot, unless 1t
be on moving machine or reaper?
We know that the oxen can work best
in swGmps or among stumps. 1t costs
less for the yoke and chains than for

feed in tire pasture, and they require
little grain feed, unless working very
hard or being fattened and II well
cared for after three or four years at
work they can be sold for beef for
much more than they cost at three
years old, while If the farmer raises
them himself, they seem to have cost
him nothing.
More than one farmer who fails to
make much more than fair living at
his business will find upon inyestiga-
ton that 1t costs him from $500 to
$500 year, and some Of them much
more than that for horse team. to
do the work that his father used to
do with his oxen. His father raised
his calves, trained them and worked
them. Sometimes he sold one or two

oxen. When he did SO it seemed al
most like finding so much money. and
often he put it in the bank or let it
out on mortgage. Now the son has to
go TO the bank Ior raise money by CIV
ing mortgage every few years to

A sled is more convenient for many

horse sled capable of bearing heavy

USING THE SKIM MILK.

Much of the skim milk which is fed
Oh the farm is given without much
idea of its value or what 1t should ac-
compllsh. 1t is u by-product OF the
farm, and the main idea seems to be
TO feed it and get it out Of the way.
In our experience the best results in
feeding 1t come from a combinations of
grains, except when it is fed to poul-
try. In this feeding several interest.
ing experiments have been made, and
the conclusion reached that the egg re-
turn is best when the grain is fed by
itself. The skim milk Is invariably
fed in the morning about 10 o'clock,
and We have had the entire flock of
poultry come in from the range for
their feed of skim milk.
In the winter we feed the warm
mash in the morning, mixing 1t with a
mixture of equal parts of water and
skim milk; at 10 o'clock we give them
skim milk in the trough, trying to dole
it out so that each bird will get about
a cupful; at noon We feed the whole
grain in the litter in the scratching
shed, and at night whole grain again,
arranging it so that three or four sup
pers out of the seven are Of whole
corn heated in the oven and fed nearly
hot. For swine the best results come
from making q mixture Of finely
chopped vegetables, mlddlings and
enough skim milk to make the mass
like norridrp In the summer this is
fed cold, and in the winter as warm
as the swine can swallow it.-Indian'

LIVELIHOOD IN DOLL HOSPITAL.

Aside from the many occupations
which women are undertaking fowa-
days there are quite few which are
not considered by the profession, and
these are the ones taken up by society
girls or those who have become tired
Of their present positions. They are
genteel in the extreme, and should one
have a special talent for doing one
thing nicely, advantage may be taken
Of it.
A young woman who found herself
face, to face with the problem Of earn
ing a livelihood for herself and her
mother, had nothing to start Oh save
q good name and an acquaintance with
wealthy people. She was about to
study stenography and try for anpffice
position, when successful business
woman asked her II she had no special
bent. The girl replied, laughingly, that
the only thing she had ever been good
for was to dress dolls. The experienced
woman saw possibilities in this one
gift, and advised her to start doll
hospital in her mothers Bretty parlor.
To-day not only is the girl an adept at
nending dolls, repaintlng their fea-
lures and restoring them generally, but
she makes elaborate trousseauf for
Christmas dolls. furnishes doll houses
complete, and is now gradually work
ing into the more serious occupation
Of providing layettes for babies, for
Whose lips there awaits golden spoon.
