Pardon Recalls Famous Crime.

A famous crime Is recalled by the
granting of a decree of pardon TO a
large number OF convicts in Italy.
Among those thus pardoned are
Doctor Naldi and Tullio Murri, who
were sentenced In connection with the
murder of Count Bonmartlni, Murri's
brother-in-iaw. Count Bonmartini. a
Bologna spendthrift. who frequently
quarreled with his wife, was found
In his fiat with his throat cut. in
August, 1902. The trial, lasting six
months, of the countess and four nc

aroused enormous interest throughout
Italy. All the prisoners were confined
In a steel cage In front-of the judges

brother. declared that he demonstrated
with the count for i%ll-treating his wife,
and Killed him I'm a quarrel that fol-
lowed. He IA sentenced TO 30 years
solitary confinement. Doctor Naldi,
n friend of Murri's. received the same
sentence. He declared that his part
IN the crime was to cut the corpse in
pieces. bat that this vas not done ow-
inl to the date arranged for the muir
del being altered. The countess, who
was sentenced to ten years solitary
confinement. was released In 1909.

necessary If they are to be profitable,
are provided for.
Keeping a dairy herd is N of the
most profitable parts of the farming
business. Not only are the cows rev
nue producers, but they supply the
farm owner with fertilizer that is nee
essary to keep the soil at its best. For
these reasons the farmers who keep
good-sized herds of cows are increas-
ing in numbers each year.
Seven months in the year in the corn
belt the cows are fed and housed in
a barn. And to feed them and water
them and milk them and do the other
work that is necessary requires a con-
siderable amount of time. At the pres
ent price of farm labor, time really is
money and the modern barn is design
ed and equipped so that all this work
can be done with the least amount of
effort.
Barns Of Several Types.

The feed alley Is equipped with an
overhead carrier system that leads
from the silo and feed rooms TO each

eliminates many steps and much time.

Tanks Do Not Freeze.
The stall floors as well as the stable
floor are constructed of concrete. At
the rear of each row Of stalls Is a gut

work Of bat a few minutes to flush
these cutters after the manur has

will not freeze In the winter and water

a small additional expense the water

Sunshine and fresh air are two of
the things that keep the cows healthy
and productive. The windows In this
barn permit the sunshine to fall on the
litter alleys and cutters. Sunshine kills

The Mermaid Dress.
I want to tell you about one other
dress that a Fifth avenue designer has
just made. II reminds one OF a mer-
maid. The upper part is Of i,idescent
spangled silver scloth that drnpes
loosely around the body and low on
the hips. 1t CLEANS like a shiny body
that has just come out Of the ocean
into the moonlight. The lower part Is
black satin, which Is very tight around
the ankles and creeps away into q
little fishtail train that undulates
along behind one.
Even the realm OF parasols has been
invaded by new materials. The same
feeling for the use of wintry fabrics
seer noted in both hats and gowns is
expressed in parasols. Black velvet
frequently Is used for them; these are
lined with Thin silks of contrasting
tone, blue being the color most often
used.
Ostrich Finds New Place for PIumage.
The French craze for the use of os-
trich feathers appears In parasols as
well as hats. Many of these imported
by American firms are of taffeta tor-
dered with ostrich. Others have the
three little Prince of Wales ostrich
tips placed at the end of each rib, and
still others have the ferrule encircled
with feathers.
Very lovely are sunshades Of old.
fashioned chlntz, such as might have
been used by the beauties of pre-reyo-
l~utionary days. These make charming
garden parasOls.
The French always make their par
asols tub shape. but we in America do
not like these shapes as well as the
larger English ones, because they in
terfere with our headgear. A tub
shaped parasol Is made OF old blue
georgette crepe over bright red taft
feta and Is outlined with red roses.
Both ClOisonne and jade are used for
the handles of parasols. For the coun-
try there are some charming japanese
umbrellas that are very short-much
shorter than the diminutive English
rain or shine umbrellas that we have
been using. They are almost like a
miniature parasol that may be tucked
under the arm when going out for a
morning walk.

Mellow Brown Comes Once More.
We have always thought of brown
as q winter color. Now 1t is being used
for our summer clothes, and used with
enchanting effect. A new shade Of
brown, that very soft and mellow
brown tone seea In the roots of trees,
suggests hitherto unthought-of color
combinations. A tendency toward a
profuse use Of this color appeared first
In the French hats that cdme over this
spring; many models from the best
Paris modistes were in this shade.

ed skirts Of brown checked or pIaided
