PRESENTATION AT COURT.

A crowd had assembled to see us
start. I fondly imagined it was an
admiring crowd; but soon knew bet
ter. Eventually we entered St.
James's Park and fell into line among
the miles of carriages that stretched
along the broad street known as the
Mall, which leads up to the Palace.
Here, too, crowds were assembled,
and for over an hour we were entirely
at the mercy of the people who gazed
in at the windows and criticised us
most cruelty, considering our entire
helplessness. Indeed, we were not
sorry when our carriage dashed
through the gates OF the Palace and
drew up before the main entrance.
To my terror, we were invited into
a side room where the royal dressers
inspected us as last precaution. We
passed muster, fortunately, and then
trooped with the crowd up the grand
staircase. Halfway up We passed one
of the Queens pages, who took from
me one of my pink cards, at the same
time shooting keen glance at me

FOR cHAM1RADE LOVERS.

Madame Cecile Charminade, the
French music writer, whose compost
tions are so popular today, gives lit
tie instruction in the Ladies' Home
Journal on practicing her compost
tons. She says:
First of all, practice slowly, with a
deep, strong touch, but never hard
one.
In taking UP a piece study it
through from beginning to end, select
ing measures that are difficult for
slow but not to constant repetition,
for in that is the danger of growing
mechanical or inattentive.
Practice all runs, scales and arpeg-
gios slowly and with deep touch.
Do not study a thing that is too
hard for you; it will bring no pro-
gress.
While you are at work think only
of the piano. If one practices in this
way with genuine earnestness it is not
well to study too long--one hour at
time is enough. But one hour
studied in this way is worth a month
of sitting at the piano.

POPULARITY OF LACE.

Never has lace been more popu.
lar than it is at present. Old lace
and new lace, real lace and imitation,
hold sway. The woman with lace heir
looms is the envied creature of the
hour. No frock is complete without
it's touch of lace. Even the severe
tailor made gown must have at least
its little turn over collar Of delicate
lawn with lace insertions, and it's
cuffs Of the same, says Woman's
Life. Valenciennes is seen trimming
broad-cloth, in the shape Of deep
rows Of insertions sewn together in
a broad shouldered piece. Evening
gowns are one mass of lace frills
and the lace hat is the correct thing
for fashionable afternoon functions

POINTERS ON CHURNlNG.

In the separating of cream from
milk vessel of sufficient size should
be provided to hold all the cream de-
sired for one churning, says the butter
maker at Cornell. BY this method a
uniform development of acid will take
place through the whole mass and
will also lessen the loss in the butter
milk which usually follows the mix
ture of several lots of cream of diff
erent degrees of acidity. Upon the
addition Of any cream to the vessel,
1t should be thoroughly mixed with
that already present.
Usually the addition of from to s
per cent. of good favored sour milk,
thoroughly mixed with the cream, at
least twenty-four hours before it is
desired to churn. and the temperature
brought up to as near IS degrees as
possible. allowing it to remain at this
temperature until slight coagulation
takes place and silky or mirror
like appearance is present, will usual
ly increase the ease of churning. The
temperature should then be lowered
to that point where butter will gath
er in from three-quarters to one and
one-quarter hours. The churning tenn
perature may in extreme cases be as
high as 68 to 20 degrees National

HOG RooTINGs.

The season of short ribs and fresh
sausage is again with us, the genuine
and not the "embalmed" kind.
1t is too early for the general kill
ing, but fresh pork tastes fine when
the frost is on the punkin."
A timber lot is a good place for
hogs at this season when the nuts
are falling.
Hogs must not be too fat to make
the best meat or bring the best price.
Lean meat is in the greatest demand,
and that means more protein food and
less corn. 1t also means longer time
on pasture and shorter in the feeding
pen.
The hams from hogs fattened on
nuts have a delicious flavor that can
not be equaled by any grain red
hogs.
Pigs that have been kept thrifty
and growing on nutritious and cool
ing grasses are in such a healthy con-
dition that they are able to digest
large quantities of feed and utilize
it to the greatest extend.
A pig, out of pig, the sire OF
both being pigs, is much weaker In
vitality and the constitutional vigor
to Withstand disease or hardship than
the product of mature parentaGe,
hence the advisability of always Sc
lecting the gifts that are desired Ter

FASHION NOTES.

Radium silks are immensely popu-
lar and are displayed in large as
sortment of dainty hues.
Fancy belts are mostly of broad
white or black elastic, embroidered
in steel or silver beads or spangles
and with very deep buckles.
Velvet is in the lead as trimming
in all lines of women's wear, and vel
vet ribbons are in marked favor.
Ostrich tips, willow plumes, wings,
breasts and manufactured birds of
species unknown to ornithologists,
come in marvellous color schemes.
Plumes are richer, heavier and of
more exquisite shading than ever be-
fore.
Pretty clothes are of more import
than ever at this time of the year and
children's holiday parties and small
dances demand many especially dain-
ty frocks and accessories.
A pretty costume is one made from
the dainty lingerie dress worn during
the summer altered and freshened
and worn during the summer
and worn over thin silk slip of
. some dainty color such as pink or
blue.
Dresden silks are particularly ap-
propriate for frocks for the young girl
who wears her dresses to her shoe
tops.
Cashmere and henrietta are again
popular and are much improved in
texture.
A new lace showing applique de-
signs in taffeta upon net has been
taken up by the blouse makers. The
applique designs are of a delicate and
feathery sort and distinctly effective.
For example an ocher lace blouse
which our artist has sketched was OF
ocher net on which was a wheat de-
sign the heads in leaves in applied
silk-both embroidery and silk match
ing the ocher net in tint.

RosETTE RECIPE.

Speaking of rosettes brings one to
this very fashionable trimming. Here
are the directions for making a ro-
settle as given by maker Of the arti-
Gle: Take bit of glossy taffeta and
spread it upon your cutting table.
Lay saucer face down upon 1t. Mark
around the saucer. Cut out. Run a
shir string around the edge of your
silk. Pull up gently. Sew a button
in such way as to cover the shir
string. For another rosette, take a
circle of silk the size of a tea saucer,
shir around the edge. Now take an
other circle two sizes smaller. Shir
around the edge. Pull the shir strings
and sew the. little rosette on top of
the big one You will have beauti-
full silk ornament for the front of
your gown, for the crossing your sur
plice waist, for your yoke or for but
tOning your bodice. Make as many
as you may require and remember
that they must be full and round. Use
velvet, chiffon, crepe de chine, taf-
feta, satin and wool. Any glossy ma
terial is good. Aad there is yet an
other rosette. This begins like the
others with a circle. But, after the
silk is pulled up, you finish it by
making hole through the top. A big
mock jewel is now sewed on the upper
side. Or you can finish it with a
stiff lace medallion Rosettes are

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Sheep are enemies to the Texas
fever tick.
Bran and skim milk are hard to
beat for making pigs grow.
It is most unwise to neglect young
stock during bad weather.
Do not hope for sow to raise well
more pigs than she has milkgiving
teats.
Sheep do not like a dark, warm
barn and will not eat well or thrive
in such a place.
For the development of strong
lambs let ewes have an abundance of
exercise daily.
Making pea hay on the farm Will
aid the soil and help make sheep
raising success.
Sheep do not need warm quarters,
but should have plenty of light and
lack of moisture.
Supply all live stock with an abund-
ance of shade. Be especially careful
of this when hogs are concerned.
For pigs, as for other young stock,
sufficient exercise to produce good di-
gestion will favor rapid development.
Wood ashes with a little salt in
them will be helpful to hogs and may
be placed where hogs can help them
selves.
Live stock is more cheaply produc-
ed in the proportion that it is grown
ON grass. Aim to use grain only for
finishing off.
In feeding pigs have the troughs
large enough to let all get to the
feed at the same time. This will
prevent the weaker ones being showed
aside and deprived of food.
Those who desire to get into stock
raising and have little money to
work with may we'll start with hogs,
since they will produce returns more
quickly than other kinds of stock.
Prevent the sows from eating their
pigs by beginning two or three
months before the pigs are born; and
have the sows in a perfectly healthy
condition when the pigs come. Aim
at prevention, rather than cure.

The New Anaesthetlc.

Those who have experimental with
scopolamine claim that it has none of
the disadvantages of the older anaes-
thetics and has good points which re-
peated tests in the operating rooms
will bring to knowledge. While it
has been used alone for simple oper-
ations and to considerable degree in
connection with other anaesthetics,
it has not yet won the confidence OF
conservative surgeons to the extent
that they feel justified in asserting
it to be of merit that will drive
ether and chloroform from the oper-
ating room. The use of scopolamine
is, however, in it's earliest stage, and
the scientific men will not rest until
it's value has been tested most thor
Olghly. One of the most important
advantages cited is that this new
anaesthetic may be administered hy-
podermically, and the patient sinks
into an apparently natural slumber-
Repeated injections cause a complete
anaesthesia, and after the operation
the patient awakens as if from nat
ural sleep. 1t is stated that he feels
no sense of discomfort and is with
out the distressing nausea which fol-
lows recovery from the anaesthesia
of ether and chloroform.-Chicago

GOOD STYLE SKIRT.

A good style and economical skirt
can be made of black percaline, httej
over the hips and flaring below. On
this can be sewed a fiounce of silk
of two-thirds length, measuring from
the hem of the percaline skirt to the
belt line This silk f1ounce may have
a tiny rufie or two at the hem. The
effect is very satisfactory and the
percaline underneath protects the silk
above from dust and wear and two
greatest foes of the silk petticoat.
These silk skirts are now used for
evening dress, with, of course, the
dainty white cambria and lace be-
meath. They are made but an inch
or two shorter than the ball gown and
eFaborately trimmed with Valen-
ciennes and ruffles.
About the hips these petticoats ht
even closer than the gown above, but
must be extra full about the knees
and feet to avoid clinging or tangling
to impede graceful movements. II
but one of these petticoats can be
owned let it be white silk taffeta, with
.founce or fiounces of silk and lace
and to blend with the gown worn.
Knots of pink or blue or mauve RIB
bon in bows or rosettes can be added.
There is still another way to econ
omize on the silk petticoat and make
many Of one Have the foundation OF
silk as described above for the perca-
line skirt Then founces (deep ones,
Of course) can be buttoned on two
thirds up Of any color desired. For
instance, a pink silk gown can have
a pink and white striped silk fiounce
beneath or a black silk gown black
and white stripe, and SO an as taste
dictates.

too many gowns, no matter how little
each may cost, is the greatest mis-

been spent in their manufacture. A
good plan is to buy one entire good

then have the other gowns that are
absolutely necessary made at home

against the tendency to accumulate

ABOUT FEEDING sTUFFs.

A certain part of every feeding stuff
is indigestible and passes through
the body into the dung without do
ing anything to sustain the animal,
according to the Connecticut expert
ment station. The value of a COM
mercial feed rests wholly in that por-
tion Of it which the animal can, under
favorable conditions. digestsor appro-
pirate and make part of ITSELF
Some animals have greater power OF
digestion than others, and the amount
of any ingredient, protein, fat or
fiber, digested by given animal de-
pends much on the proportion of 9th
er ingredients which are fed along
with it. Thus, if starchy matter Is
fed in too large proportion, a con-
siderable part of it will pass into
the dung and be wasted. But fed In
proper fashion over 80 per cent. of it
may be taken up by the body and
nourish it.
A well-managed dairy farm should
produce all the coarse fodder-in the
form of corn fodder, or stover,
hay and ensilage which is needed
for the stock, and, excepting under
unusual conditions, should also sup
ply an abundance of starchy food, such
as corn meal and in some cases oats
and barley, for feeding purposes.
These the farmer should be able to
produce in abundance.
But in order to feed them without
waste and also to supply deficiency
in them it is almost always advisable
or necessary in the absence of clover,
alfalfa or other leguminous crops, to
buy feeds rich in digestible protein
considerably richer in it than corn
meal.
Ready mixed feeds, made of num-
ber of by-products or factory wastes,
may wisely be let alone. unless the
buyer can see for himself out of just
what raw material the mixture is be-
ing prepared. Low grade, damaged
corn, shriveled wheat, peanut refuse
and wheat screenings consisting large
ly of weed seeds are not infrequently
found in such feeds by careful ex-
animation, but are not easy for the
buyer himself to recognize.

Earth, but If There Are, Where
Are They?
Is there better driver in the world
than the man who drives the fire en-
gine? If there is, he is yet to be dis
covered
Here was an engine coming along
a cross street, to turn up an inter-
secting avenue. Under the edge OF
the rounded off corner that the ma
chine was to turn, there was sewer
opening, with the street pavement
sloping down smoothly toward it
all around from the high level of the
street.
II the driver, coming as he was,
at a dead gallop, should make broad
turn around this corner out where
the street was level, the engine
would swing more Or less, nothing
could prevent that, and check the
horses speed, and there would be a
second or two lost before they could
get the load Strengthened again and
get under full headway with 1t once
more, up the avenue. But if the driv-
er could make that corner with the
two wheels ON the inner side OF the
curve down in that sloping depres-
sion leading to the sewer opening
close by the curb, and the two out
side wheels on the higher level near
er the middle Of the street, why. the
higher level here would be for the
engine what the banked up outer rail
is for the locomotive rounding
curve, and making it SO he wouldn't
lose an inch. And that's the way
ne did make 1t.
And before he knew it a man. who
had been standing at the edge of this
corner waiting to see the engine go by
saw it SO near to him and leaning in
so close to him that he could have
touched it, while the driver, aloft on
his high seat and roaming inward as
he was, too, was actually leaning
over him as the engine passed, with
whistle screaming, and steam hiss
ing, and that driver, as he flung 'em
in this fashion round this curve, talk
ing low to his horses and calling on
'em each by name-a man ABSORBED
If there ever was one.
Thinking of nothing else in the
world. that driver at this minute,
but getting to the fire. The allied
Powers might threaten Turkey, Rus.
sia might burst at any moment into

whether it should be the Straits or
Panama or a lock canal-all such
questions had 40 interest for him

thing else; what absorbed him now
to the exclusion of all else on earth.
was the hiking of the old machine
from fire house to box 4-11-44 in the,
shortest possible time, and hadn't he
just saved two seconds by the fine
work he had done in rounding this
corner? And when-it seemed but an
instant later that you heard it-you
heard the scream of the engine, now
far up the avenue, you knew he was
getting there. 1t was great.
There may be somewhere in the
world better drivers than the driver
of the steam fire engine; burt, if there
are such, New Workers don't know
where they can be found.-New York
