HAND-PAINTED HATS.

There seems to be no stopping In
the universal race for novelty. The
latest craze is for hats hand-painted
with the designs Of the flowers with
which they are trimmed. Large leg
horn hats in white and black have
their brims painted with long trails
OF pink or white roses and trimmed
with clusters of the flowers and big
bows. A very dainty toque also fash
1onable is OF pale mauve crinoline
straw. trimmed with lilac and orna-
mented with painted sprays Of the
same blossoms, which are half hidden
In the folds OF the straw.-London

Making Hog Crop Without Corn.


Prof. Cottrell. Of the Colorado
Agricultural College. has begun a
series Of hog feeding experiments to
demonstrate that q country not
growing corn can grow and finish
hogs profitably. Results will be
noted with much interest. Prof. Cot
trell says:
II believe there Is great future
for the hog feeding industry in this
State and hope to be able through
experiments which we will conduct
at the college to show the Colorado
stock men that hogs can be raised
and fattened very successfully on Col
orado grown feeds. In the test,
which we are about to begin we shall
use nothing but feeds produced IN

Fighting Weeds.

"A writer in the Agricultural Epit-
omist suggests the following on fight
ing weeds:
1. Practice rotation. Certain
weeds follow certain crops; when the
weeds get too strong change crops.
2. Change the method of cultivat-
Ing. Plow deeper or shallower, or
use different harrow or cultivator.
3. Cultivate frequently with light
surface tools.
4. Sow clean seed.
5. Don't let weeds run to seed on
the manure pile or anywhere else on
the farm.
6. Hogs and sheep will clean up
the weeds on foul fallow land. 1t is
said that a weed will not terminate
after a sheep has cropped it.

THE GIRL WITH FRENCH HEELS.

Common sense heels are commoner
and more sensible than ever. Yet
here and there woman clings to the
tiny towers Of Louis Quinze and trips
blithely on her way, serene in posses
sion of Spanish instep. When all's
said, there is something essentially
attractive about the French heel. I'm
hygienic, even dangerous though it
Is, it suggests femininity in every
graceful curve, and the very small
ness of it's base reminds the mascu-
line beholder how slight hold on
earth a genuine angel has. IT'S we'll,
perhaps, that there are a few beau
ties who cling to it-they are so
piquantly picturesque in a tiresomely
common sense world.-New York

ANIMALS HEADS AS OPERA BAG

ANIMALS HEADS AS OPERA BAG
Opera bags made Of the heads Of
small animals to which a silk top is
added are seen in the Broadway thea
ire crowds these nights. One woman
in a car on recent night carried one
so that the head peeped out from
under her arm, and many were the
curious glances of the other passen-
gers. Relief was shown on several
faces when she laid it in her lap and
they could see what it was and that
1t was not alive. A young woman
who is a fine rider at the hunts and
whose room is decorated with many
trophies in the shape of the tails of
foxes killed, surprised the master of
hounds at a recent chase by asking If
she might have the head of the fox.
She got it and took it to a taXider-
mist. Now she carries it proudly in
the form of an opera bag.-New York

HOPPING" THE NEW REST CURE
Hopping" is the exercise pre-
scribed by the anti-beauty doctor who
has no mercy on the lame or the
lazy. But this hopping is not a
gymnastic exercise, as might be sup
posed, but working in the hop fields.
In England this newest form Of rest
cure for wearied society persons is
carried on in camp. Every day, in
q special Enclosure, these "hoppers
de luxe" as they are called, may be
seen at work, apparently enjoying it.
In fact, they assert that weeks
ahopping' is far better and more
pleasant than a rest in Marienbad.
The tents Of these well-to-do pickers
are extensively furnished, and easy
chairs, soft beds and up-to-date camp
Ing outfits are among their hopping"
appliances. Their field is rallied off
from the ordinary "hoppers," and
they do not rise so early or work so
late. OF course, their faces are the
hue Of Holsters, their hair wind blown
ind tousled and their shoes disgrace
to civilized community. oh. it is a
great thing to be ''hopper!"

A Fish Story That Has

Did 1t rain little fishes from the

Saturday afternoon at the conclusion
of a hard shower, Mrs. A. :. Fish. who

greatly astanished on looking out Of
her office To see several small FISH
wiggling around on the bare ground
and at some considerable distance
from a running stream of water. To
make doublY sure that they were real
fish, Mrs. Fish went out and picked Up
five of the little fellows, which were
apparently unhurt and very much
alive. but very anxious to get back -
their native element. The lady put
them In a tub of rain water whore
they are still alive and may be seen.
Two Of them were about 1--WE inches In
length and rcsemblcd carp; the othc $
were smaller and were a different
kind of fish. The fish were found on
top of q %gravelly knoll around which
an |irrigating ditch was cut. The water

that the fish threaded their way no

little fish high ana dry on the bare

WILL HAVE \ COOP EFFECT

Whether the standard oil company
Of Indiana OF is parent corporation.
the real standard oil company, ever
pays its $50. 100000 fine or not, it Is
a moral certainty that the practice of
giving and taking rebates has been
given a serious jolt, possibly has been
checked to a finish. This case has
served a most excellent purpose in
that IT has demonstrated first that the
government now has mca Of ascer-
tanning the facts regarding the secret
dealings between the railroads and
the big shippers In cun|travcntion of
the law. and second that there is Vi
tally in the maximum punishment
provisions Of the laws. In short, a
new standard has cen established,
ana every offender Of the past il
likely 20 be extremely wary about re-
peating the performances that were
nee %conidcred merely as good bust
ness.
The time was, not SO long ago, when
the rebate was commonly demanded
and given. There was little or no Sc
crecy about It. no pretense Of conceal
ment. Even when the law specifcal-
Is prohibiting that practice was en-
acted. the railroads and the shippers
of the favored class did not take 1t
very seriously. 1t WAS thought to be
a mere piece Of legislative demagog-
uery. designed to quiet the public
clamors and never intended to be en-
forced.
Now there Is a difference. The law
against rcbating Is q live statute, and
It's enforcement means thai the small
shipper has a chance 10 get his goods
to market at a reasonable freight
rate. lie may find difficulty in the
market In getting his prices, but he
has at least an opportunity to move
his products as chcuply as II other
producer in the same line.
The fact thai the defendant corpor-
alton has appealed and is likely to
prolonR the process OF adjudication
for several years. does not lessen the
moral effect of the fine. no big cor
portion is likely 10 run the risk Of
suffering from similar assessments as
long as there is a chance that It may
be put out OF business by the imposi-
ton of a crushing tax
