SHEEP SHIPMENT.
Nevada sheep Will Be Shipped Into
The East.

Cars by the score are beng shipped
by the Oregon Short Line and Rio
Grands to shipping points IN Idaho and
Wyoming, thus beginning the sheep
shipping season of the present year.
Shippers give reports OF exceptionally
large consignments to be sent this fall,
and it is believed that new record will
be established, Gays the Salt Lake Re
publican.
One of the new features is the fact
sheep from western Nevada are being
sent east this fall instead of to San
Francisco. 1t is expected that hundreds
OF carloads will be shipped from points
in Nevada aud eastern California-siip-
ments that have always been sent to the
coast in years past. The change in
traffic will mean much to the western
roads, as this trade was entirely lost in
former years, The destruction OF San
Francisco stockyards is, OF course re-
sponsible for the alteration. Flock
masters in the Reno and Truckee
regions have already sent orders here
for cars to be used in shipping their
hocks to the yards in the east.
The new feeding regulations enroute.
which will be followed this year are be-
eyed to be greatly beneficial 10 both
the railroads and sheapmen. Instead
Of the old oS hour law, shippers have
been sent circulars by the railroad
companies which, when signed and re-
turned, call for SO hours in the cars
without rest, feeding or water.
The shipments can be n ade much
easier under the new rule than in
former years and will work to the ad-
vantage of both parties concerned. The
circulars, however, must be signed by
the shippers before the sheep can be
held in the cars for 36 consecutive
hours, and under no sideration are
the railroad com mpanies given the privi-
lege of keeping the ANIMALS in the cars
l.
of the shippers will avail themselves Of
this opportunity to get the sheep to the
market as soon as possible, and the rail!
road companies have already received
many of the return slips.
All though Idaho shipments viii be-
gin in a short time. On the Wood
River branch, where many Salt Lakers
have focks, shipments will begin soon.
and before the season has closed, more
than 1900 cars will be loaded with sheep
for the east. At Spencer, Idaho, the j.
D. Wood Livestock company will begin
making shipments Septe mber l, and
vii send out so carloads weekly until
the shipments are cleaned up. On all
ranches, however, shipments OF lambs
will be later than usual on accou1t ot
the ba kwa'd season,

CORRECT WALKING POSITION.
Keeping One Knee Stiff Prevents

Keeping One Knee Stiff Prevents
''Wobbling'' When i'm Motion.
1t is quite true that correct walk
ing is the exception, which is a pity.
AS an exercise it is one of the best
that can be taken, and when done as
it should be improves the figure,
makes good poise, grace and ease.
Every woman knows the heels to-
gether toes apart position that is
taught to children as soon as they
begin to toddle, but few know pre-,
cisely what standing erect is. With
out this walking cannot be at it's
best, for the weight of the body must
be properly poised; else the figure
will be thrown out of drawing. Every
one almost knows that the balls of
the feet should support the weight,
and that the shoulders should be
thrown back Too often thinking
they are attaining this and a
Straight figure, women hold them
selves SO that the abdomen is thrown
forward instead of being held in,
and an exceedingly awkward car
riage is developed. Correctly, the
weight of the body is a little thrown
forward to the balls of the feet, the
heels, Of course, being together and
toes out, the abdomen is held in, the
shoulders are thrown back and chest
and chin are raised. This chest rails
ing is too little done, and when prac-
ticed will give a woman not only
good carriage, but a firm, rounded
neck, which will have no hollows or
angles. 1t is easily known when the
chest is being held correctly, for it
will be literally brought up as the
shoulders are thrown back. If one
can rise on the toes without swaying
the body the position is correct. A
line dropped from the nose would
fall only a little in advance of the
toes without touching any part of
the body but the chest. Breathing
must of course be deep

Leaving off corsets will train the
muscles of the body to depend upon
themselves, will force the shoulders

The first position for walking is
merely that of correctly held body,
which instinctively sways forward
for the moment as one foot goes for
ward for the step.
The knee corresponding to the
foot that goes forward, bends a lit
tie as the foot is raised The last
movement of the foot forward throws
the weight on the ball, which holds it
as the other foot gets ready to go
through the same movements done
by the first The secret of good walk
ing consists in keeping the weight
properly poised, and the knee stiff
when the foot corresponding is on
the ground or at the back.

The Repast Ready, but No Guests.
Uncle Joe Cannon, who, by the way,
is chum of Williams, has been re-
garded as the most absentminded man
in congress. But there is question
as to whether he is any more absent
minded than Williams himself. Mrs.
Williams tells two stories on this head.
One morning the lord and master Of
the house wanted an elaborate spread
in the evening, as he intended to in
vite judge and some prominent law
yers to dinner. The repast was ready,
but no guests. Mr.. Williams had for

his breakfast. Mrs. Williams had to

ping in to accompany Williams to

just finishing dressing and with his
mind on something else, as usual. We
will let the congressman complete the
story:
''He had his vest and coat on when

buttoned up his vest and turned to me.
"'Say, do / look all right?' he asked.

Scientific Coon Hunter.
Mr.. Williams home is at Yazoo, Miss.
Democratic candidates there are chosen
by the primary system. When the flu
ture leader was first running for con-
gress his opponent was a famous coon
hunter sport at which John Sharp
was not an expert. One county was
practically lost to him for this reason,
SO he saw that something had to be
done. Going into this county, the first
thing flat met him was an inv't zion
to hunt coons. He accepted with
alacrity, but explained that he was a
scientific coon hunter. Taking along a
bunch Of Roman candles, he fred these
among the branches Of the first tree in
which a coon had taken refuge and
literally scared the animal OF the
perch. Repeating this process each

THE HOME DRESSMAKER.

One of the most successful ways to
darn woods and silks is to take raw
elings from the material. Split the
thread into the needle with the help
of wax. In this way the thread or
silk matches the goods exactly.
The poinsettia flower, SO popular
in winter house decoration,is largely
featured in many cushion tops of the
season. Strongly tinted in brilliant
reds it is tremen6 ously effective.
One of the simplest and prettiest
of corset covers is made in round
baby shape, simply gathered at the
waist and around the shoulders. The
front Of the waist is made of all
over embroidery In small clover or
other figures. The back is plain, and
so is the material, which basques
sufficiently below the waist to actu-
ally protect the corsets from skirt
bands which might soil them. Val
lace finishes the garment around the
neck and sleeves.
Drawing threads in linen for hem
stitching is done with greater ease if
the fabric is soaped Make lather
and apply over the space with a
shaving brush, and when the linen is
dry the threads will pull out more
readily.
