An Economic Experiment.

Mister Otto Knowsomebetter was an eco
nOmic chap
With a wen developed liking for a dol
lar in his trap.
He was wont to ponder wisely, with his
fingers in his hair,
On the various expenses that an honest
man must bear.
And the one that most distressed him,
Was the awful cost of fodder he was
forced to feed his stock.
Now, we know the ancient fable of the
man who fed his steed
On a simple sawdust diet and had made
the same succeed
AS q steady equine ration-if the victim
hadn't died;
And he knew the plan was useless,
devoid OF sense beside.
SO he figured out a process, widely diff
ferent from that,
Whereby he could save his pocket and
his cattle keep their fat.
He procured a load Of sawdust with the
happy scheme in mind,
Shorts and bran and other staple of a
fat-iI1creasing kind;
Which he mixed in true proportion, with
a touch of pepper stout,
For he'd heard 1t said the secret OF the
sawdust steed's demise
Was q little too much sawdust and the
lack Of exercise.
So he placed the toothsome mixture in a
freshly secured bin,
Smiling as he thought how bossy would
be neatly taken In.
Then he measured out a portion and he
CAV it to his COW,
And she hesitated slightly, but she ate
1t anyhow.
Then he went at eve to milk her, with
elation in his soul
And she gave a pat of butter in a little
wooden bowl!

Hats and ParasOls.


While the outrageous shapes that
reduce their wearers to mere AM
mated pivots, are seen on all sides
such extremes are not adopted by
women noted for their exclusive AMI
distinguished apparel. There are
now, as always, numerous moderate
shapes that do not extinguish their
wearers. Black hats with white or
colored trimmings, and dead white
chips or rougher straws with black
garnitures, are TecKoned especially
smart and these have the merit OF
going well with any toilet.
Very fine leghorn and Italian
straws in yelow tone faced with
