The Doom OF the Big Hat.

The feminine hat with the dangerous
reach, the ~headpiece with the spear-like
feather. the creation which obscures the
scenery from view, will soon be no more.
1t has already filled too large a place in
the world. Chicago milliners have band
cd, as the Milliners' Association, with a
resolve to wipe out the giant hat evil,
and with the motto Mutual protection
and more artistic millinery BY this
means the Chicago milliners hope to up
hold that city's reputat ton as the millinery
center of the country. If they succeed
in abolishing the big hat. they will de-
serve more than that. They will deserve
the thanks of every man who doesn't
want his face sawed off or his eyes goug-
ed out. They will win the gratitude of
every husband and father who objects to
buying straw and felt by the acre and
flowers and feathers by the bale. They
will rave the thanks and gratitude OF
every sensible woman who dislikes to be
enslaved by fashion into a burden-bearer
and into a Observation-Disclosures Post.

These have to be very carefully fed so

Careful attention has to be given not

and how often the feed is offered TO
them. Equal quantities Of cornmeal,

New Congress Takes First Steps
Toward Restored independence.
Although the reins of self-government
will not be officially turned over to the
Cuban authorities until Jan. %, when
the Inauguration Of President Jose
Miguel Gomez and Vice President AL
fredo Zayas vii! take place, the meet
ing Wednesday of the new Cuban Cor
gress in initial session marked the be
ginning of the end of the second period
of American intervention in the island,
which began with h breaking out
of the revolution in August, 1906.
Little or no public interest was man
ifested in the gathering Of the lesis-
lators, the purpose of the meeting be-
ing merely to pass upon the credentials
of members. At the Senate building
the twenty-four Senators met shortly
after noon and submitted their creden-
tials. The e%ighty-two members of he
House gathered in the new House Of
Representatives building, formerly the
Admiralty Palace, which has been EN-
tirely reconstructed.
For the first time in the history of
the republic the House enjoyed the dig
nifty of occupying its own home, hay
ing met during the former period OF
independence in an old tobacco ware
house.
The decree issued by Provisional Gov
ernor Magoon %convoking the Congress
makes a very strict requirement for
the attendance of members. Neither
Senators nor Representatives will re-
ceive pay when absent from roll calls
without leave and neither house viii!
be permitted to grant leaves of absence
to more than one-sixth of their mem
berships at II time.
Bills establishing cockighting and a
national lottery will be among the first
to be introduced.

RnmnardeH by Wila Ducks.

A Cleveland vessel captain reported
yesterday that while coming down IN
Naisaka bay, off %Iroquois light. q few
nights ago. a flock of wild ducks flew
over the ship, several of them striking
the pilot house. and one nearly knock
ing the skipper off the bridge, when it
hit him on the head.
This sounds like Il fish story. and
l scarcely expect any person to believe
it." said the master in question. 1T
is urvcrtheless a fact, and just serves
to illustrate how thick the weather
was at that time. The incident hap
pened about midnight, when we couldn't
see the light on the boiler house from
the bridge. 1t was a regular lombard
ment of wild ducks, and after the
slaughter we picked up three nice fat
birds beside the pilot house. They
were stunned by the force Of their col
lision with the pilot house."-Cleveland

The treatment for wind colic differs
very materially from that of cramp
collie. Absorbents are of some service.
ana charcoal may be given i'll my

in this form Of collie. Chloral hydrate
not only possesses this quality, but 1t
also is Il pain reliever. 1t is partlcu-
larry we'll adapted to he treatment OF
wind collie. and should be given in l.
ounce doses in Il pint of water d.
lutcd alcohol or whisky may be given,
or aromatic spirits of ammonia in l.
ounce doses at short intervals. "A
physic should always be given in ilatu-
lent collie as early as possible, the best
being oun doses of Barados alOes.
Injections, per rectum, of turpehtlne' l

be given Frequently to stimulate the
Deristaltic motion of the bowels and
favor the escape Of wind. Blankets
wrung out Of lot water do much to at
ford relief; they should be renewed
every five or ten minutes and covered
with Il dry, wooden blanket. This form
of collie is much more fatal han cramp
collie, and requires prompt and persist
ent treatment. 1t is entirely unsafe
to predict the result, some apparently
mild attacks going OF to speedy death,
while others that appear at the onset
to be very severe yielding rapidly to
treatment. Do not cease your efforts

When there is plenty of moisture in
spring, followed by dry and hot
weather during June and July, the con-
dition is just right for spelling the
soil, especially if untimelv blowing has
left the fields in a badly haken condi-
ton. If the result of such conditions
lasted but II season the matter would
not be so serious, but it has frequently
been observed that land badly puddled
and subsequently hard baked can not be
retrieved i'll man years. 1t is harder
t" reduce such soil than the toughest

Snlt for Sheep.

Experiments recently made for the
purpose of asccrtaining the nutritive
value of salt for sheep show that those
which have been fed salt gained in
weight our and one-half pounds more
than those which received no salt.
Moreover. the sheep which received
salt produced one and one-third pounds
more wool and of a better quality than
those which received no salt.

Feeding Horses.

It is generally believed that horses
must not be fed clover hay for fear Of
the heavcs. This is a mistake. If the
horse is given the proper quantity OF
clover and not Overfed there is no
danger of the heavcs. A horse should
never be fed more thai he will eat up
clean, either grain or hay. Without
n doubt oats is the best general food
for a horse, and goes well with tim
othy hay. A good change is to once
or twice a week give a feed Of corn
and clover with bran mash. When
n horse does not clean up his feed it
is best to try a change. Feeding and
Watering should be done at regular in
t~ervals. the watering always before the
eating. Above all things, do not give
4 horse water Immediately after eat
inc. 1t should never be given before
ot least an hour after he has finished
his meal.

add about one ear of Shcllcd corn to

| know from my own experience that
it pays to keep sheep, provided they
are kept we'll. and those who do not
do this are very likely to condemn the
breed of sheep which they may happen
t. have or the breeding stock which
they have purchased for the improve
mont of their flock When the fault is
really their own.
