South African Shoe Trade.

Cape Province has numerous frma
which manufacture boots and shoes.
Many of these are engaged in the pro-
duction Of high-class footwear though,
as a rule, the better class of footwear
that is popular in this country, Is OBJ
tanned from overseas, writes Consul
General George FL. Murphy, Cape Town.
The foreign producer, with his highly
specialized factories, Is able, with the
aid Of the importing merchant, to flood
the market here with enormous guam
titles of boots and shoes, either made
for the South African trade, or form
ing q part Of his surplus output. The
result Is that the South African pro-
Queer is unable to command a suffl-
cient market to warrant extensions Of
his plant to meet large calls which
may be made by the wholesaler. He
must content himself with producing
hlgh-grade footwear in small quaint
ties for the retailer.
Large quantities Of boots and shoes
are being received from the United
States, partly as a result of the I'M
possibility Of obtaining adequate sup
plies elsewhere.

buckle shows the resourcefulness of
the designer in providing a unique
fastening.
The skirt has two box plaits at the
back and front and cascaded drapery
at the sides to lend it shapliness and
interest. Trim rows of bone buttons
on the plaits at the front consign this
frock TO the ranks of the tailor made.
Hats that reveal q summer mind"
have become fashionable for wear in
January. They dare to be inconsis-
tent and with true feminine unreason
are worn with the warmest furs in
northern ATTITUDES as well as in sunny
southern lands. 1t happens that De-
cenber sees many hats, designed for
southern tourist use, displayed in the
shops of northern cities. They are ir-
resistible and they are inspiring new

COLTS FOR GELDING TRADE
Excellent Plan to Mouth Them and
Give Them Some Work During
Spring and Summer.

Colts for the gelding trade want
taking in hand early, and should be
well grown and well done from their
birth, so that at two years old they
should be big and strong enough to
do some work. It Is an excellent plan
to mouth them, and work them a
bit during the spring and summer
that they come two years old. They
do not want working very hard, but
a day or two at pillow, harrow, or Gull
tivatOr, and then day or two at rest,
and then at it again for a few days,
and so on, gets them tractable, and it
seems to expand their muscles and in
duce growth.
Then when the harvest time comes
they can be turned off and run through
the autumn and winter, receiving just
a little grain and chaff through the
hard part of the winter to keep them
fit, and they will come up at spring
time, as three-year-olds, fit to take
their places in any job that it is
thought fit to put them to.
1t must be borne in mind that they
should be taught to go anywhere and
to do anything, so as to get accuS-
toned to all kinds Of work and noises
as well. They must be taught to pull,
and to back, and to stand still if re-
quired.

There have been recorded during the
war many being cured by accidental
means, such as sudden noise or an
unexpected visitor, or as a startling
question, and in one case at least a
midnight fall out of bed. But one Of
the strangest cases belongs to a for
mer war, observes a correspondent,
where q soldier lay Is months under
the influence Of catalepsy. Finally, in
despair, the doctors ordered the bag
pipes to be played near the patients
bed. That did the trick.
There is a story told Of skipper
who had q medicine-chest containing
cures numbered one to seven. For dys-
pepsia he administered a stiff dose OF
No. z. For sprains, No. 2 was the bot
tie, and for rheumatism, No. 5 seemed
to work the oracle. But on lengthy
voyage the skipper ran out Of No. z,
so when next member Of the crew
had q pain in his middle he dosed him
with a mixture Of 2 plus 5. Nobody
had another pain during that voyage,
or, at any rate, confessed to having
one.

vOgue-a special January Hat"-tO be
worn north or south, but with a whis-
per of spring in their designing. They
are not too summerlike, but there is
no hint of winter about them.
Three of these captivating models
are shown in the group above. They
place themselves at a glance-hats of
the highest class that need not to ex-
cuse themselves for appearing in the
depth Of winter. At the center Of the
group the large picturesque black hat
is made of panne velvet and malines.
All it's story is told by these two mate
rails for it's finish is merely collar of
the velvet with a bow at the back.
One can imagine 1t at the afternoon
concert or the bridge party in the
heart Of the northern winter, or worn
as a dinner Or afternoon hat under
southern skies, with equal satisfac-
ton.
At the left small hat is shown
made of fringed strips of black taf-
feta. These strips are braided or
woven in and out to form the body of
the hat. Taffeta proves itself suffi-
cient for the completion of this model
which is finished at the front with q
bow of the silk, made Of strips fringed
along each edge.
At the right hat of deep blue satin
is made with rows Of blue braid stitch
ed on the upper brim and crown. The
blue is vivid, somewhat lighter than
sapphire, and makes just the right
background for the odd Japanese
leaves and berries that form wreath
about the crown. It is hard to describe
anything so unlike the usual millinery
flowers The colors are odd, grayish
green and yellows and white. Only the
Japs know what these queer leaves
are made Of and after they have ex'

FINDING A DESIRABLE WIFE
Lonely Young PIoneer Who Did Not
Know How, Found 1t Was Really
Rather Simple.

In a new settlement in the thick
forest, 20 miles or more from city
| and ten miles from a railway, were
located sawmill and a few scattered
homeSteaderS who worked at the mill
when it was running and attended
their little clearings at other times,
relates writer in the Chicago Trib-
une.
One day in the cooks camp, connect
ed with the mill, the man and his wife
in charge began joking the homestead
er about being the only settler in the
whole community without a wife and
family.
'How can help it?" said he. ''There
are no manageable women that 1
know"
"Oh, there are lots of them that would
be glad of a good home such as you
could furnish" said they
"Well, you just find me one" said
the hOmesteader, land l will make you
present of the best cow on the
place."
Not to be bluffed, they accepted his
proposition. Then they got busy, run
ming over their list of acquaintances
in the city, finally selecting, for their
matchmaking expedient, an estimable
lady of their acquaintance, living with
her married sister in the city.
The victim selected for the sacrifice
had reached that age when unmarried
women cease to celebrate birthdays
and begin to regard the tapering end
of statistical possibility with more or
less concern. The homesteader was
about the same age, and, evidently,
just as much concerned about his flu
ture on earth. A friendly invitation
was forthwith extended to the lady to
spend week with the cooks family
at the camp. 1t was innOcently ac-
copied.
The homesteader was conveniently
invited to Sunday dinner with the
cooks family, and the tragedy was
staged.
A case of love and desperation at
first sight. In the afternoon. chap
eroned by the cook and his wife, the
party casually StrOlled over to the
hOmesteader's bungalow, where they
found everything "spick and span,"
with just enough incongruity in the
arrangement to make the fingers of an
orderly housekeeper Jingle with ambi-
ton to put things in their proper COR
nerS.
A few months later the records In
the county clerks Office gave a hint
of further developments, which were
staged at the sisters home in the city.
The happy couple at once settled In
their new home land lived happily
ever afterward."
In the excitement the poor cow was
crowded off the stage and forgotten
by the matchmakers, but a short time
later, looking out one morning, they
saw Mr.. Homesteader driving a cow
into camp-as good as his word.

SMART FRock FOR THE BUSINESS GIRL.

In the drama Of fashions, the part
OF the one-piece frock has grown in
Importance for three seasons. 1t
made triumphant entry this fall and
has held the center Of the stage ever
since. The advent Of the "bustle dress"
(Which hardly deserved it's name), and
the furOre for velvet portends brill
liant finish for this season of q style
that is sure to reappear in the spring.
The hustle dress is given it's name
because 1t is caught up in drapery be-
low the waistline at the back and
merely suggests the hustle of other
years. It is prettiest in velvet or
heavy satin or crisp taffeta best Of all
velvet In the latest models skirts are
narrow and drawn back from the front
by the back draping. They have long,
close-fitting sleeves and high necks
One-piece frocks of serge and other
durable cloths have proven themselves
the smartest sort of frOcks for bust
ness women. This term includes about
everyone these days when it is I'M
thinkable that any we'll woman should
be idle.
The frock of serge shown in the
picture is enough to reconcile the most
inconseQuent of idlers to a business
life. Consider its good points and re-
member how entirely practical it is.
In addition to being good looking it is
new and original. The sleeves are set
on to an underbodice and finished on
the forearm with neat straps of the
material. The overbodice fastens over
q separate vestee Of washable white
satin, which may be varied with YES
tees of other materials by way OF
change. A wide fold, instead of revers,
on the bodice is placed high enough at
the back to provide an unusually be-
coming neck finish, and a big trench

high in price this year and there will
be a tendency to cut down on the ra-
ton of the horse, but such policy Is
poor economy. One should consider
carefully the feeding value of the avail

'It is possible to make a consider

AGE of the Oceans.

Scientists have figured out the aver
age amount of salt carried by the
rivers of the world as total, and have
compared with the total quantity of
salt in the oceans. From these data
(taking into account evaporation and
rate Of stream flow it is possible to
reckon how many years have been re-
quired to make the seas as salt as
they are today. On this basis, Prof.
Frank Clarke OF the United States ge-
illogical survey, one OF the foremost
authorities, estimates that the oceans
are about 90,0O0.9OO years old.

SOFT CORN MADE PROFITABLE
One of Best Uses Is Feeding to Hogs
and Steers, According to Re
braska Station.

One of the most profitable uses for
soft corn will be in feeding hogs and
steers, according to the department Of
animal husbandry Of the University Of
Nebraska. One would be justified in
feeding considerable protein supple
ment in conjunction.
Oil meal and cottonseed meal are
relatively cheap taking into considera-
ton the cost of good corn. Expert
ments have proved that they are worth
more than their own weight in corn
for feeding cattle.

- ENSSELAER is a small city on
- the east bank Of the Hudson
river, opposite Albany, N. Y.
a Although 1t can boast of few
attractions, it has the honor of pos
sessing within it's city limits the oldest
building in the United States. There
has been much talk of uniting these
two cities and at some future day this
old building may be found in Greater
ALBANY.
AS we stood In front Of this Old
house (facing the river) one beautiful
October afternoon we thought more
desirable location for a dwelling could
not have been selected, writes Mrs
Halsey Hayford, in the Utica Globe.
At our left we have a view for miles

the city of Albany, the upper portion
of it's $27, 900, OOO-dollar pile of marble

This old mansion faces the south
ern part of Albany and what we see
are old broken-down buildings along
the docks, old black foundries, old
ice houses, etc. It has been said that
everything earthly has something to
mar it's perfection and we thought
this view is not an exception.
