Cement Roofing.

A subscriber wishes to know Il he
can cover his house with cement.
Cement tiles, or shingles are manu-
factureu, we understand, bat We have
not seen them and do not know any
thing about them. but have no hest
tation in saying that we believe that
cement or concrete roofing in some
shape. will be in general use not many
years hence. 1t will be the cheapest
and most durable material for the
purpose that can be obtained, and at
the same time will be indestructible
by FIRE. Inventors will put their wits
to WORK to devise shingles. or small
fiat tiles or plates, to put on roofs
like shingles or slate, and devices for
fastening thom securely. If we were
to undertake the job we think we
would try to invent some way of plas-
tering the cement upon the sheathlng
and making a solid cement cover over
the entire roof. How would II do to
devise a steel or iron net work. with
mesh OF an inch or so. TO nail over the
sheathing. to hold the cement while
1t hardens? The cement could lie
spread over this net work with a
trowel, like mortar upon a wall, and
whom II becomes hard It would make
a solid coating that would be imper-
vious to water and will last an age.
No charge for this suggestion.--In-
diana Farmer.

The new coat buttons are gorgeous,
depending upon enamel, jewels and
brilliant color effects for their beauty.
Softness and fullness in attractive
lines result from the shirring that
has again invaded the realm of dress.
Belts are worn In a very high,
round line, their great length making
them take quaint, short-waisted eff.
feet.
Square and oblong buckles, huge
in size and covered with spangled or
jeweled fabrics, are seen on many of
the new gowns.
Among the new shapes in turbans
are the Rembrandt, the Henry III,
the Hussar, the De Stael, the Drum
Major and the Napoleon.
Bedroom slippers, crocheted of the
heavy mercerized cotton. are most at
tractive. The changeable cottons are
especially attractive.
Parasols will still have the very
becoming Dlrectoire handle, and are
to be quite as elaborate as ever. The
canopy top is to be popular.
Lingerie garments are narrower
than formerly. Every possible pleat
or gather is omitted and the lines
closely follow those of the outer
dress.
Blouses OF figured net OF black and
colors are made up over white silk
Innings. The net, OF course, matches
the skirt with which the blouse ls
worn.
The colored lace wells which have
been worn to some extent the past
season, WIN continue in favor. The
white lace ones. however. have had
their day.
There is at present In Paris a
vogue for spiral effects and cross
bands. and especially does this idea
seem eyemplified In afternoon ard
evening gowns.
Buttons will be used less for trim.

ings. An innovation Will be the

being used Cor this purpose.
Anything Russian seems to be in

Ever since ! have been connected

vocated two policies that l believe
would be of great value TO horse
breeding interests in America.
First. and most important the
United States Government should re-

by a competent and reliable veterin-
arian before leaving Europe; and
careful inspection by another equally
competent veterinarian on arrival ut

Tablet to Woman Librarian.

A tablet to Miss Alice B. Kroeger,
FIRST librarian of the Drexel Institute,
has been unveiled. reports the Phila-
delphia Ledger.
The tablet, which is of polished
brass mounted on black Belgian
marble, is placed on the pilaster at
the entrance to the library. 1t bears
the following inscription:

Librarian and Director of the Library
School in the Drexel Institute of
Art, Science and Industry, from
its foundation in 1892.

about his work, he glanced out of
that window.
Simmons and his cashier had
made every preparation possible for
the run. 1t still lacked five minutes
of nine. Several times one of them
had stepped out of the back door to
observe the signs. There was no
line at the front door-the panic had
not reached that stage yet. But there
was an unusual number of men In
town, some sitting on store platforms,
some standing round doors, others in
front of the blacksmith shop, but all
in sight of the front door of the
bank.
1t looked ominous. When the scare
began, two days before, there had
been twenty-five thousand dollars in
the vaults. This was more than the
legal requirements, for the deposits
were under hundred thousand. Five
thousand of the available funds went
out that first afternoon, ten thousand
the next day; but now, II something
did not happen to check the run, 1t
would all be over before noon--the
door would be closed.
Simmons had telegraphed for the
ten thousand they had on deposit in
st. Louis, but 1t could not arrive be-
fore the next morning - and that
would be too late. Even il they had
it, 1t would merely give them few
more hours of life, unless something
checked the unreasoning panic among
the depositors.
AS the clock licked Off the last five
minutes. Simmons stood with his
back to the cashier, looking out OF the
side window toward the new house.
1t was nine o'clock. The cashier
opened the front door. One, two,
three minutes passed. then a custom
er came in with show Of leisureli-
ness and withdrew his deposits. AS
he went out another came in. Before
the second was paid, the third en-
tered. When the clock hand had
reached the half hour, three or four
were in the bank waiting their turn;
and q hasty glance out of the win
dow told the banker that others were
coming.
Simmons had taken the paying
window himself. and settled the ac-
counts as deliberately as possible
without obvious delay. hoping desper-
ately that something would happen
to check the run.
In the first hour two thousand dol
lars went out over the counter, and
still the people came. In passing to
and from the ledgers at the back of
the Office Simmons often gave a quick.

seemed to be sweeping. again dusting

other. she was nearly always there,
her face turned toward the bank.
The money went faster the next
hour. At eleven o'clock only four
thousand dollars remained. When
that went the doors must close. Only

Hog Feeding.

We are told that the Wisconsin
station tests show that Yorkshire
hogs require the least amount of food
for 100 pounds of gain of either Po-
land Chinas or Berkshires. Razor
backs" made smallest gains and ate
the least food. An indication that a
cross is capable of improving weak
ness in pure-bred Berkshires and Po-
land Chinas was the fact that those
breeds crossed with "Razorbacks
resulted in hogs that made gains
much more economically than the
pure-breds. Farmer.

largely prevented. Tight collars and
stocks are accountable for many of
the lines at the side of woman's s
neck. The carriage of the head, and
even ones position when sleeping. has
much to do with forming double
chin.
The head should be carried erect
when walking, says Woman's Life.
When reading or sewing the chin
should never be dropped on the
chest, but the book or work should
be held in position that will allow
the chin to be held moderately high.
