A Toilet Necessity.

One of the most useful assets of the
toilet table is pair of dummy wooden
hands, After washing gloves it will
be found that they keep their shape
excellently. while at the same time
they will be prevented from shrinking
if they are slipped over the wooden
shapes and dried in this way. A night
on the glovetrees is as good for kid or
suede gloves as is a corresponding time
on boottrees for leather footgear.

"Mrs. Bates has received a visit from

feminine suayity that | could not too
much admire: land she was equally can

not?"
Il were. miss. I do not wish to sell
myself. though untold gold were offered.

ever righteously accused me otherways."
Surely Mr.. Bax has not been attempt

tone of Indignation. mo one who knows

tegrity by suggesting payment for infor-

those who are continually fancying them
selves suspected; If they find a lost half
penny or stray stick of sealing wax they
will think it is laid out to tempt them"
and | will add that women of this kind
are as a rule the most to be suspected.
Il told Mr.. Bax why l left DR.. Aw-
drey. as | have told Others" said Mrs.
Bates; land am not ashamed of owning

But | were not going. DR.. Awdrey

And why did you give him warming"
j asked, seeing that the point lay there.
Because he unrighteously accused me
of meddling with his bottles. which l will
take my oath / never touched. The bot

the floor. l will not say that Mr.. Bax

down. But | see the trap that was laid
for me, and would not stay, which is mer-
cy I'm sure or l might now be in the
condemned cell"
She rambied on a long while to the
same purpose, while | made notes of GER
tain facts, and from time to time exas-
perated her to further rambling; but
when she had repeated all her facts half
dozen times, and | saw there was no
more to be got out of her, | rose and
said
That is enough for to-day, mas
but | have no doubt you will repeat all

She glorifed her own steadfastness and
sense of rectitude. and SO went away.
Miss Dalrymple had sunk into chair,
and met my gaze with look of detection.
She was evidently disappointed that I
had not persuaded Mrs. Bates from her
adverse opinion.
Il am afraid my witness will do us
more harm than good. This broken bot
tie adds to the weight of evidence against

Movable HenE ouse.

Here in Newport County, r. l., the
most successful hen men house their
birds In small movable buildings.
We have learned by experience to
build small cheap houses Of Gull lunl-
Der on skids. Place them 25 to 80
feet apart in rows, and move them as
often as need be few feet on to clean
ground, says writer in Rural New
Yorker The grass and weeds will
spring up and purify the ground long
before it will be time to cover it again.
Cement blocks may be cheap for a per-
manent building, but 1 can see but
few situations where it would be best
to use them for henhouses.

The Feeding of DOGS,

''No dog kept indoors, and, indeed,
very few outside, should be fed on
meat; nor should he be fed from the
table at meal times, as be will soon
become a nuisance, especially when
there are visitors. If he is always fed
at the conclusion of certain meal
dinner, for instance-he will wait pa
tiently until the prescribed time. 1t is
a good plan to feed after ones midday
meal, giving plenty of green vegetables,
bread and potatoes, with a very few
scraps of finely cut meat, t whole
well mixed and some gravy poured
over 1t. If two meals are given, one
should be at breakfast time and one
in the evening. One should consist of
only a little oatmeal and milk or a
piece Of dry dog biscuit.
AT no time should the dog have
more than he will eat, and If he leaves
anything on his plate except the pat
tern. his allowance should be reduced
or a meal omitted. Life.

When a Fowl Is Fnt.

The inexperienced are often at q
loss to know when fowls put up for
fattening have reached a proper de-
gree of ripeness, or, in other words
when the birds have become fit for be-
ing marketed to best advantage. Mr..
Cobbe, a well-known English poultry
expert, gives a very simple rule for
the guidance of the uninitiated in such
matters. For the purpose Of determin-
ing whether a bird Is fully fattened or
rot he recommends that two small
curves Of cartilage, which extend from
the sides Of the back bone round to-
wards the vent, should be felt for
These pieces Of cartilage do not meet,
but leave space Of about one inch
according to the age and breed OF the
between them, the distance varying
bird. II upon examination this space
can be easily felt, and there Is boil
lowness between the carriages the
bird cannot be regarded as fully fat
tened But IL, on the other hand, some
pressure has to be applied In order
to determine the positions OF the ends
of the curves of cartilage, then it may
be taken for granted that the bird Is
sufficiently rtrsa for the knife.

Winter Forage.
The question of winter forage and
pasturage Is one of the greatest I'm
portance in the Southern States, and
Carleton r. Ball, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, was sent by the De-
partment Of Agriculture early In the
past year to make an investigation IN
several of the Gulf States. In his re-
port Mr.. Ball says, amongst other
things: The production of Southern
hay has been a question long under
discussion. The amount produced and
the yield per acre have both increased
steadily and encouragingly during the
last few years. On every hand it is
admitted that it is both possible and
necessary to raise all that is needed
for home consumption. Alfalfa, Ber-
muda grass, Johnson grass, crab grass
and cowpeas furnish an abundance Of
hay of the very best quality. This hay
can be produced much more cheaply
than an equal quality can be shipped
In from Northern and Western States
With better transportation facilities
and an increasing demand, the produc-
ton will become more and more profit
able. At the same time, with hay
raised on the home plantations, and
hence cheaply and readily available.
larger quantities are being used In
feeding the plantation stock"
