Velvet Ribbon Is a Vogue.

Velvet ribbons were never used so
much as this season, for, besides be-
ing a favorite hat trimming, the jump
err fashion has been the means of util-
izing endless yards. Lovejoy jumpers
of velvet in two, or perhaps three,
widths can be made at home even by
unskilled fingers if one will only watch
the models on exhibition in any of the
large stores.
Velvet ribbon is not cheap, therefore
it goes without saying that these pref
ty bodices are quite expensive bought
ready for wear, but made at home the
cost could be lessened one-half. I'm
less black is chosen the ribbon should
be of the same color as the skirt to be
worn with it, the blouse being gener-
ally white or a light color.

Outdoor Gloves.

The ever increasing feminine love OF
outdoor sports has brought upon the
market many models in golfing, driv.
ing and walking gloves, to say moth
ing of several varieties of motor gaunt-
let. This latter is most popular when
fashioned of buckskin, with leather
palms, and may be had in most of the
shades of gray and tan as we'll as black
and white. The favorite golfing glove
is in tan or gray ventilated doeskin
closely fitted to the wrist by elastic,
which keeps the glove in position,
while leaving the hand entirely free.
A good driving glove may be pur-
chased either with or without gauntlet
and is something on the lines of the
golfing glove, being kept taut at the
wrist by means of strap, leaving the
hand quite loose.

when the cows head is turned slight
ly towards you. The skin should be
loose and rather thin, and of slight
ly oily nature, and the hair soft and
velvety. Then comes little essay on
milking of very useful and practical
kind in which the virtues of gentle
ness and cleanliness are well incul-
Gated, the whole matter being sum-
married. in this paragraph. The es-
sentials of good milking are that 1t
should be performed Cd Quietly: that
is to say, the milk should be with
drawn in manner that will cause no
discomfort to the COW. (2) Quickly:
if performed quickly more milk Is OBJ
tanned, for rapid milking appears to
be beneficial in increasing the flow
The comparison of the results obtain
ed by good and inferior mixers makes
this point very clear. A good mixer
is able to milk form seven to ten cows
in an hour, the common indication of
good milking being the production of
plenty of froth or head" upon the
milk in the pail. CD Thoroughly: the
last milk, being the richest, must al
ways be withdrawn. Finally the au-
thors impress on their readers the
very great necessity for recording and
testing the yield of milk.

NEEDLESS WASTE
OF CORN STALKS
BY Prof. H. j. Waters.

1t is estimated that between so and
80 million tons of slower are produced
on the S0,000,000 acre normally plant
ed to corn in the United States each
year. The magnitude of this annual
crop of roughness will be more fully
appreciated when we consider that
the annual hay crop of the United
States is between 60 and 20 million
tons, and is estimated to have a mon
ey value on the farm of something
like $5OO,OO0,OOO
While the slower is carefully har-
vested and fed in the more densely
populated states of the east, 1t is
nevertheless true that in the great
corn belt of the middle west, where
more than half of the corn of the ma
ton is produced, there is a prodigious
and profiigate waste of this valuable
material. In this section valuable
land is used for the production of tim
othy hay upon every farm to be used
for roughness and acres of corr slower
are allowed to go almost entirely to
waste.
1t is safe to estimate that some
thing like seven million tons of
corn slower are produced in Missouri
in the average year. Certainly three
and a half million tons or one-half of
all that is produced is allowed to go
to waste. A better idea OF the mean
ing of this waste may be formed when
II is realized that the average hay
crop OF the state is very little more

Raveled fringe is a novelty that has

has even assayed to produce a good
effect upon muslin dresses, though its
proper sphere is most obviously the
edging of a silk coat or the bordering
of a parasol. A muslin robe of
striped green and lavender coloring
trimmed with two bands of lavender
silk raveled at the edges, and deep
purple taffeta gown, completed by a
very old world looking fischu of
green silk with the edges pinked and
raveled are two instances of the new

DyNAMITED EMPTY SAFE
Two Robbers Held up Great North
ern Train in Montana.
They FAILED to Find Anything OF Value
Except Registered MaiI-Re-
wards Of $1,000.

st. Paul, Sept. 13.-General Mana
ger Elliott of the Great Northern Ex-
press company announced to the AS
ISOLATED Press Thursday that the
Great Northern Oriental Limited train
No /, which left st. Paul Tuesday
morning, was held up by two masked
men seven miles west of ReXford,
Mont, early Thursday morning. The
robl ers crawled over the tender and at
the point of their guns commanded the
engineer to stop the train. They then
ordered him to go back with them to
the express car and instructed him TO
tell the express messenger, mail clerk
and baggage man to go back into the
coaches. While this was being done
the robbers kept up continual fusi-
Jade with their guns to terrify the
passengers and keep them within the
coaches. After the messenger and
mail clerk had left their cars the rob-
bers went through the mail cars and
robbed the sacks of large quantity of
registered mail. Then they went into
an express car, which carried an over
flow of mail, baggage and express, and
which contained regular through
safe. This they attempted to blow
open. After exploding three charges
the safe was opened and found empty.
The robbers did not enter the regular
express car in which the messenger
had been riding.
On finding the safe empty the high
waymen helped themselves to the reg
istered mail and after firing parting
volley, disappeared.
The robbers are described as being
about 80 years of age, one about
feet II inches tall and the other con-
siderably shorter. They wore black
clothes and black soft hats. The rail-
road offers $4,000 for arrest and con-
viction of each of them.

THE SELECTION OF BEST
TYPES OF DAIRY CATTLE
Consider Seen from the English
Point of View.

Two very eminent authorities. in
the persons of r. r. Robinson and
C. w. Walker-Tisdale, contribute to
the Journal Of the board of agricul-
ture Of England very practical paper
on this subject. What they point out
may be regarded by some as truisms,
but they are truisms that are too
often neglected. In the first place,
then, it is necessary for the farmer to
decide whether his dairy is to be kept
for milk selling or for making but
ter. If the former of these be his OBJ
ject, it is essential that he should
choose a cow which will at once give
a quality of milk exceeding the limit
prescribed by law, and yet not so eX-
cessively rich as to cause a cores
ponding reduction in quantity. On the
other hand, butter may be the object,
or cheese. The two authors unhesitat-
ingly recommend Shorthorns for milk
ing, Jerseys and Guernseys for butter
and Ayreshires for cheese. They
somewhat laXly say that COWS that
will yield the quantity of milk speci-
fled may be bred or bought AS they
estimate that the average quantity of
milk yielded per COW per annum
throughout the country is little more
than 400 gallons, it is evident that the
practice thus recommended is not
very successful. The dairy farmer
might he more usefully recommended
to build up his herd by breeding only
from those which have the special
qualities that suit his purpose; but
the authors keep one eye on the butch
er, and recommend dual-purpose cows,
which may be MIXED for a time and

ward whilst the fore teat in some
COWS will be found in vertical line
with the hip bone. The udder should
be full, and come up well behind under
the tail, the whole vessel showing
great capacity, each quarter being
sound and the teats easy to draw.
The teats should be equidistant apart,
squarely set on, and of useful size for
milking" They also insist, as far as
general appearance goes, on the wedge
shape, a capacious abdomen and
clean and thin flank. OF the indlca-
lions regarding the quantity of milk
yielded, it is said, Milk veins should
be large, prominent and branched,
and the milk wells where the blood
vessels enter the belly, highly develop
ed. Milk veins are blood-vessels car
rying away impure blood from the
udder back to the heart and lungs for
publication; as milk is derived direct
ly from the blood, it follows that the
greater the supply of blood passing
through the udder the greater the
possibilities of the production OF a
large quantity of milk. The 'escut-
cheon or milk mirror should be wide
at the thighs, and if of the 'flandrin'
order, run in a broad band up to the
vulva. The back of the udder just
above the teats should show two
'ovals' of down-growing hair, the skin
being fine and elastic and having a
mellow touch"
Among the points indicating the
quality and color of milk touch"
counts for a good deal. 1t is best
judged by taking hold of a portion of
the skin and flesh behind the last rib

AS regards collars there is nothing
really new. The deep turnover collar

or the neatest of bowt are affected.
and a novelty for silk and muslin
shirts are jabots OF Irish lawn en-
broidered with fans of lawn plisse on
either side of the front, the ends being
of spotted foulard edged with lace.
This combination is effective and 9TH

muslin and Irish crochet lace, which
is much used in the fashioning of
lingerie as well as jabots.

IGNORE THE ORDER
Railroad Conference in Chicago De-
cides to Defy the Kansas
Officials.
NO TWO-CENT FARES THERE
They Declare Action of Railroad Com
mission a Political Move and
Will Comply Only Under
Compulsion.

Chicago, Sept. 12-At conference
held in CShicago Tuesday the Kan
sas railroads decided to ignore the
railroad commission of that state and
refuse to obey it's order requiring
two-cent passenger rate. The roads
wer represented by their general
counseland their executive officers In
charge of traffic. The refusal was
based upon the alleged unfairness OF
the situation brought about by the
action of the commission which re-
quires two-cent fares beginning Oc-
tober 5. The railroads insist that the
action of the commission is polit1-
cal move, IN the interest of the COM
mission and not of the people They
declared that they had appealed to
the ser of justice of the commits
sion without avail and that if a two
cent rate is to come in Kansas 1t
must come by compulsion of law
Under the Kansas law it is not nee
essary for the roads to take out an In
junction. The filing of their COM
plant as set forth in the resolutions
adopted has the same effect as an in
junction temporarily. The resolutions
adopted set forth the confiscatory ma
ture of ne order complained against.
1t is set forth that while, owing to
the phenomenal prosperity now pre-
vailing in the West, passenger earn
ings are larger than usual, should de-
preston set in, two-cent rate would
be disastrous to the roads, as it would
not be sufficient under normal condl-
lions to meet the cost of the pas
senger service maintained by the
roads.
Topeka, Kan, Sept 12.-kansas
politicians are strongly of the opinion
that Gov Hoch will call special
session of tie legislature If the rail-
roads persist in their determination
to ignore the two-cent fare order. Inc
governor las not been notified of the
action of the roads except through
the newspapers. He declares that
Kansas will have two-cent fare rate
or it will be cancelled in states around
her. A conference was held between
Gov. Hoch, Attorney General Jack
son and G. F. Grattan, attorney for
the Kansas railroad commissioners
Wednesday afternoon. 1t is under
stood that if the railroads file the
resolution adopted in Chicago In court
it will be the signal for the special
session call,
Every power of the state will be
used to compel the railroads to grant
this emergency rate said Governor
Hoch after the conference. can
rot tell what line of action will take,
but the cause is just and the people
of Kansas are entitled to this low
rate"

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Presbyterian Committee Takes Strong
Ground ON the Subject.

Columbus, O.. May 23-It was, said
today that the faction of the Presby-
terrain general assembly which is dis
satisfied at the endorsement yesterday
of the antisaloon league as "a safe
and sound" organization will offer a
resolution striking out these words
and that if this action is taken the
fight will be renewed with more bit
terness than ever. The conservative
element of the assembly is straining
every effort to keep the matter from
getting to the floor. of the assembly.
1t is expected that Kansas City will
be selected for the next meeting al
though Denver, Seattle, Hot Springs
and Atlantic City are after it. The i'm
portant matter presented to the assem-
bly, today was the report on marriages
and divorces.
The report contains the following:
1.-The church can not hope to infiu-
ence those who make and execute
civil laws to give protection to the
family, to make the sundering of mar
rage ties and the forming of new al
liances more difficult. unless by strict
adherence to its own teachings the
church holds those who minister by
its authority responsible for the VIOLA
ton of its teachings.
1.-The church has it in its power to
put such opprobrium upon divorces or
remarriages that have not the sane
dread its condemnation and desire its
recognition will hesitate to ostracize
themselves.
"Rut if the church permits it's seal
to be put upon such sinful alliances. if
it allows its silence to seem its
approval, if it withholds its
power to condemn, in defer
ence to power to contribute, it
need not think it strange that its
influence for reform is so little re-
garded
1.-The advance is slow. but much has
been accomplished: and much more is
promised that gives encouragement
and hope"
The committee recomm ended the
passage of the following resolution:
ResoIved-That Presbyteries are
hereby enjoined to enforce the STAN
dards of our church, to hold to strict
account all ministers under their care.
and to urge all ministers to regard
comfy that should refrain from
giving the sanction of our church to
members of another church, whose
marriage is in violation of the laws of
the church whose communion they
have chosen"
