Tattooinu.

Many q man has on his wrist dim
blue spot where as boy he tried tC
tattoo himself with an anchor or a
star. The small boy VINO contem
plates decorating his skin in savage
manner should remember not only
that he may be ashamed of his mark

but that the process of tattooing is
dangerous, and may be followed by
blood poisoning. A tattoo artist in
New York was recently arrested by
the Gerry society, which intends to
stop a dangerous and foolish business.

THE LATEST FACS IN SLEEVES.
DESIGNED TO GIVE DISTINCTION
TO FALL GOWNS.
Hints by Which the Home Oressmaker
May Profit-Some Novelties
Among Those De-
scribed.

The best way for the home dress
maker to give distinction to her fall
gowns is by the design of her sleeves.
Below will be found four of the best
types to choose from. They may also
be combined effectively. Fashion will
run in two eXtremeS-the tight NOUS
quetaire sleeve, trimmed with buttons
and braid, and the very full sleeve,
with the material set in box plaits
and tied over the elbow with a huge
knot of ribbon, says the New York
World.
The sleeves shown in the illustration
are described as follows:
1. Long full sleeve with deep cava-
lier cuffs, to be worn with morning
gowns, house dresses, separate silk
waist. or where long sleeves are re-
CURED The cuffs can be made of
odds and ends of lace carefully joined
or of one good piece of embroidery.
2. All over lace undersleeve with
cape of the same material as the
dress The sleeve forms one large
puff and a smaller one coming well
over the elbow.
8. Three-quarter length sleeve for
coats and jackets, the fulness at the
shoulder and tight-ftting round the
lower part of the arm The sleeve
itself is of cloth with stitched band
around the cuff and running up the
side of the sleeve. The bands are
edged with tiny buttons. The cuff is
finished with ruffles of finely plated
cambria.

WEDDING OUT OLD BRlNDlE.
Does 1t Pay to Improve Our Cattle In
the South2

Some twenty years ago the writer
heard gentleman who was engaged
extensively in buying and shipping
cattle to the markets, say: Our peo-
pie are losing thousands of dollars
annually by raising and caring for
scrub stock. Why" said he, "it takes
just as much care for scrub steer
as it does to care for good one, and
it takes as much per pound to get him
to market, and when you get him to
market he is still scrub, and must
sell at scrub prices, and the difference
in the prices of choice and scrub cat
tie is so great that, If our people knew
1t, they would surely eliminate the
scrub.
Our people have been slow, it seems,
to realize the truth of the statement
made by this gentleman, but they have
gradually awakened to it, and the good
work of displacing the scrub steer and
filling his place with something better
goes merrily on. The process Of
wedding out the old brindle has been
slow, but the poor fellow, his days

to sing his praises. The song eman-
ating from the pocketbOOk Is most
powerful in shaping the destinies Of
any breed of livestock, and it takes
imitation to make the pocketbook sing.
The scrub bull. as all who know him
will agree, is quite windy, but neither
he nor his progeny is possessed of the
happy faculty of initiating the pocket
book. Neither is he in the habit Of
adding largely to his owners bank &C
count and this is, perhaps, having
something to do with his exit.
A great drawback to the improve
ment of live stock is carelessness and
inattention. Laziness and stinginess
come in for their share also. l have
known farmers to actually breed their
COWS to scrub bulls because they were
near by, when going mile or two
further, and paying little more, they
could have bred them to bulls of the
finest and best breeds. This course
has it's rewards in a crop of scrub
calves and depleted pocketbook.
Those who follow this course SOW to
the wind and reap accordingly. Sue
cess very rarely comes unbidden, but
it will come and linger lovingly with
those who court it. AS fit illustra-
ton of his assertion, l wish to speak
of an incident that came under my
own observation. l, know mana
neighbor-who was raised in the hard
est school of poverty. In early life he
displayed a love for fine stock, and
when he began doing for himself, the
distance was not too far for him to

most wonderfully, and now he is a

Cotton In the Brazos District.

Plantations in the Brazos river, in
Texas, on which-without the boil
weevil-it was customary to make
from one-fourth bales per acre, are
now making from one-half to two
thirds bale per acre on an average in
spite of the boil weevil. In these
lands the cotton planters are making
a poprfitable crop, and very few in
deed have been compelled to abandon
cotton growing. 1t was very evident,
however, that the cotton growers,
even on, the plantations where they
can still MAXI two-thirds bale per acre,
have begun to diversity their crops to
a very marked extent.

Some Fashionable and Costly Designs
in Favor.

The latest and most modish form
of infants long dresses has a tiny
yoke of plain material; batiste, hand
kerchief linen, or whatever fine sheer
lingerie stuff is chosen, embroidered
delicately by hand and finished around
the neck by a narrow frill of real
valenciennes. The yoke may be round
and joined to the skirt by line OF
veining or may be pointed or seal
loped of edge, says the Detroit Free
Press.
The skirt is not shirred full on the
yoke, but set ON with only slight full
ness, and shaped in the seams, with
a far away echo of the princesse lines
so popular among the grown-ups, and
down each side of the front runs a
garland or scattered spray design OF
embroidery, turning at the bottom to
run around the skirt above hem or
frill.
Or perhaps the embroidery forms q
