Never since the ever-present and
ever-popular BLOUSE made its appear
ance on the style screen over twenty
years ago has it been as popular as
now. Women wear them on all occa-

Wide frills about the bottom of the
elbow sleeves, and fancy collars of all
kinds are about the only trimming on
these blouses, which are invariably
made of thin materials.

RECORD BROKEN
 IN LIVE STOCK
WEALTH IN THIS FORM GREAT EST IN THE HISTORY OF
 THE UNITED STATES.
Total Value of Farm Animals Is $5,5ooooo,o ,o0o-Horses Total More Than Cattle.

Chicago, Jan 21.-The annual live stock report of the Orange Judd Farmer, made public here today. showed farm wealth in this form of property that broke all records The increase in twelve months was placed at $443.75S, GOO, while the to- tai value of all classes of farm ami mals reached $5,596, ,024,0e0. Of this total, horses furnished S2,1S5,55 900: mules $529 ,339 00O, and milch cows $l,032 960.000 The total value rep resented 50 per cent more than the total money in circulation in this country, and was almost equal to all deposits in the 7,500 national banks
 The numbers of meat producing animals, however. showed a decrease. beef cattle recording a falling off in numbers of 1,762,000 head. or per cent; hogs a decrease of 1882 000 or per cent Milch cows showed no material change. while horses in creased slightly in number.
 The decrease in numbers caused heavy increase in average value per head, milch cows advancing 21 per cent; other cattle IS per cent hogs F per cent, and sheep 8 per cent.
 The decrease in hogs was the re- suit of heavy cholera losses in i'm portant states, coupled with a short age in corn, while the decrease in sheep resulted from low priced wool and dissatisfaction with the wool tar if.
 On the other hand, the decline in the number of beef cattle that had been under way for several years. continued, and with the increasing population caused a growing shortage of beef The only hope of relief held out in the report was a calculation that an increase of 30 per cent in the number of silos indicated a complete utilization of the forage of the corn fields thereby reducing the cost of producing beef.
