The Skirmish.
I had seen the sklrmish, a joke, from
the side of the federals. The company
of infantry had ben sent 10 do the
fighting, and they exchanged all of the
shots. The cavalry waited on the river
road, as I supposed to advance when a
prompt sally was needed, or, at least,
to cover the retreat of the infantry.
But when the infantry began to return
to Juarez under the slow but deter
mined fire from the hills, those so
odd cavalrymen. who had not fired a
shot turned and went back down the
road, never covering the withdrawal
of the unmounted men. and never as
sisting in any way
Gen Pascual Orozco. from his po-
sition on a hill saw all this, the ad-
vance Of the infantry and the with
drawal of the cavalry. But he made
no comment either as TO the quality

efficiency He only said: Now the

INSNURGENT LEADER
KILLED AT PARRAL
Former Merchant Of That
Place Meets His Death
Fighting.

Parral. Mex, Feb. 5.-(Delayed.) J.
Baca's rebeI column took another fall
out of the federals and Pedro T. Go
mez, aid to Guillermo Baca, took the
last count. The fight took place Sun
day night about o'clock a short dis
lance beyond Otto on the Parral and
Durango railroad, and lasted for about
two hours when the rebels retired.
According to the reports the rebels
opened fire first with no damage, both
sides occupied excellent position be-
hind barriers Of rocks and mounds,
which probably accounts for the light
fatality list. and after the Srst few
rounds very few shots were fred ex-
cept at intervals when rebel or fed
eral poked his head or any part OF his
person above the dead line.
Baca and his troop have engaged the
federals numerous times during the
past two months and in various places /;
ne has lost every battle thus far, &C
cording to the official reports" yet
he has been the most persistent leader
in the cause and never fails to engage
the federals whenever he thinks there
is half chance.
The Killing of Gomez.
The captain of the federals gave
orders to the men to pick off the rebel
leaders at all hazards and the result
was that many shots were aimed where
Baca and Gomez were supposed to be
stationed directing the men.
Two hours passed and the moon
was rising, neither side giving away.
Finally firing ceased entirely and a
short time later the sound of disap-
pearing hoofs could be heard The
federals mounted their horses, gave
chase and poured volley after volley
after the retreating figures, but the
rebels had made good their retreat.
The federals rode back to the. posi-
ton occupied by the rebels during the
fight and found Pedro T. Gomez. the
friend of Baca, stretched out in death.
The soldiers had picked off one rebel
leader anyway. A search of his per-

F. c. Mentzer, is in Jail was made clear
yesterday. Eseobosa was arrested sew
eral days ago, was released, but was
again arrested Monday after the cap

AII.Rurpose Brood Mares.

One of the greatest drawbacks in the all-purpose mares is the sudden changes to which they are expected to work, says the Stallion and Jack Jour- nal One day they will blow, the next day they are used for carriage, then perhaps, in the most disastrous of all things connected with horse breeding, used in the saddle. Mares that the boys ride to town at night are not very liable to be producers. It is not always the amount of exertion. but fast riding to town, followed by be- Ing tied out to the hitch rack several hours and allowed to chill. This works the mischief. Not ten per cent of the mares used in this way will pro duce foals.
 Those who expect to raise horses should remember that there are sev- eral things which can be used to ad- vantage that do not cost anything. These are kindness, fresh air and sunshine.

MANIcURINe DONE AT HOME
Few Implements Needed, the Chief Thing Being Constant Care and
 Attention.

You can train yourself to be your own manicure; there is no need to buy book on the subject, nor is an elaborately-fitted manicure case nee essary.
 Four implements suffice, and in fact three are all that are absolutely re- quired-a pair of nail scissors, a nail file and a chamois-covered polisher will answer all purposes, but an or ange stick may be added for keeping the cuticle or scarf-skin, back from the nail
 The nails should be kept just the length of the fingers and trimmed in an oval curve. After trimming the nails, push the scarf-skin down close ly about the base, so that the lunula commonly called the half moon"- shows distinctly.
 If the nails have been neglected, it will take time and patience to get them right; but few weeks attention daily will accomplish wonders. If the scarf-skin has grown upon the nail. do not trim it off, but push 1t carefully back. using the rounded tip of the file; if necessary, lift the skin from the nail, but avoid breaking it. A little polishing powder may be used once or twice week and light rubbing with the chamois polisher every day gives the finishing touch to manicuring.

Dressing for Work.

In the food and raiment brigade. the "do-your-own-work" mothers have a hard time keeping themselves pre- sentable in the eyes of their families. They must wear faded things some times, and they cannot spare much of the early morning time for beauti- flying. Still 1t is possible for the houseworkers to don one accessory that never fails to freshen and i'm prove the toilet. This is plain white collar, which costs nothing and re- quires only a moment to adjust. When the career of white shirtwaists Is ended, front plaits. tucked lengths and those of insertion should be cut out, leaving sufficient plain material to hem over the upper edge, so as to avoid scratching the neck. They should be two inches in width and the neck length.

HOW TO SECURE GOOD EGGS
Fourteen Rules Given Out by Depart ment of Agriculture to Prevent
 Loss to Poultryman.

Bulletin 40, from the department o1 agriculture, gives the following four teen rules for the production of good eggs:
 l. Use hens that produce not alone goodly number of eggs but those of standard size Such breeds as Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds. Leghorns. Orpingtons and Minorcas.
 2. Good housing, regular feeding and above all, clean, dry nests.
 8. Daily gathering of eggs and when the temperature is above 80 de grees gathering twice day.
 4. Confining all broody hens as soon as they show symptoms of brood mess.
 5. Rejection of all doubtful eggs found in nest that was not visited the previous day. Such eggs should be used at home where each one can be broken separately.
 6. Placing all summer eggs as soon as gathered in the coolest place avail able
 '. Prevention at all times of mois- ture coming in contact with the eggs.
 8. Disposal of young cockerels be- fore they begin to annoy the lens. Also confining or selling old male birds except during the matching sea- son.
 g. The using of cracked and dirty eggs at home. Such eggs if con- sumed when fresh are perfectly whole some but when marketed are discrim- mated against and are likely to be- come an entire loss.
 10. Marketing all eggs at least once a week. and oftener if convent ent.
 Il. Keeping all eggs as cool and dry as possible while on the way to town and while in country stores.
 12. Keeping all eggs away from bad odors and out of musty cellars.
 13. The use of strong clean cases and good filters.
 IA. The shipping of eggs to the final market once a week and as much oftener as possible.
 If every poultryman would follow these rules there would be much less loss between the producer and the consumer. All these losses the pro ducer ultimately pays as buyers dis count prices enough to make good any shortage from dirty eggs or those which may be found in bad condition as to freshness.

POTATOES GOOD STOCK FOOD
New German Process for Drying Tu bers for Feeding Purposes-Will
 Relieve Congested Markets.

According to the Magdeburgische zeitung, Consul Frank s. Hannah says that the recent experiments in the frying of potatoes under the auspices of the imperial interior department has had such good results that new and important field of activity may be offered for the German farmers.
 The potatoes are reduced by this process to about one-quarter of their original weight and can be kept in a good condition in this compressed form for an indefinite length of time. The military authorities have made thorough experiments with this prod uct and have become convinced that its nutritious value is fully equal to that of corn, and that the dried pota- toes can take the place of one-third of the former ration of oats. The fact that the potatoes are reduced to one fourth of their original weight brings about a corresponding reduc- ton in the price of freight, so that It will pay to grow more potatoes than has formerly been the case. This nat lrally has further tendency to in crease the export. This new use for the potatoes will also have a tendency 70 relieve the already congested starch and spirit markets. Experiments are still being conducted under the direction of privy councillor Koellner of Moeckern. with the pur- pose of rendering the process still cheaper.

instructions to the hairdresser to cop. coiffure may be manufactured and simply pinned on. But the lady of leisure may achieve her coiffure by having her own hair curled and puffed. This undertaking is much more difficult than that of pinning on the made coiffure.
 Bands, decorated with embroideries and gorgeous with gold and jewels, predominate in hair ornaments. There are many other decorations. glitter or twinkle in the lights that shine by night. A plain ribbon or velvet band, finished with a bow and the shell barrette are favorites for day wear. No one should neglect to no tice the little fringe of curls that nestle about the neck in many of the new styles. A curlless coiffure is hardly to be found, but the curls are placed wherever they will do the most good-that is, wherever they are found to be most effective in en- hancing the beauty or the style of their wearer.
 In the matter of the coiffure every woman should lay to her heart that French adage which runs: There is nothing so beautiful as care" Care ful hairdressing works wonders and in itself is immensely attractive.
