? The Kansas Wolf Industry.
/in 1889 the Kansas Legislature
jpassed a lavr authorizing counties to
pay bounties for wolf scalps. Nearly
jevery county in the State thereupon
offered a reward of S3 or $4 for euch
evidence that a wolf had been killed.
Some counties are paying out as much
.as $4000 a year in this way, the total
in the State amounting to 360,000.
iThe coyote supply continues to be
surprisingly large. A correspondent
of the St Louis Globe-Democrat asserts
that 6omc of the Kansas farmers
who find their farms unprofitable nave
gone into the business of wolf raising,
in order to eke out a livelihood. He
Bays: "By means of wire fences, incisures
with ample burrowing
grounds are made, and here the creatures
increase with marvelous rapidity.
The growth of a family of kittens
can only be compared to them.
For feed, the cheapest of meat is sufficient,
and uS nothing is required but
the scalp in order to diaw a bounty,
the carcasses of the killed wolves are
used for sustenance for those not
ready for market. The best sheep
that the prairie farmer can raise can
scarcely be sold for more than $2. To
produoe several litters of wolves a
year, each member of which is worth
from $3 to $4, exclusive of skin and
carcass, is, it is seen, very renumerative.
These wolf raisers also supplement
their home supply by constantly
hunting on the plains. Parties are
formed which surround creek valleys
and ravines, 'beating the bush' and
capturing, dead or alive, dozens of the
lank, gray beasts. The former go to
swell the cash accounts of the hunters
?nd deplete that of the county treasury,
while the latter are added to the
supply on the wolf farm."
Science and Soap Babbles.
Why is it that the colors of a soap
bubble change as the film gradually
* 1 1 _ il _ 1 .O A XI.
alters in iniCKnessr Aiioiuer cause
of color is here involved?that of interference.
If a stone be thrown into
a smooth pond a circular wave is produced,
gradually widening toward the
edge of the pond; if a second stone
be thrown into the pond a second
wave will be produced, which will influence
the first.
If the stones are dropped in simultaneously
at the same spot the tfaves
will just be doubled in hight; and if
the seoond stone be thrown in exactly
a wave length behind the first the same
effect will be observed. If, however,
the second stone be thrown into the
water exactly half a wave length behind
the first the motion of the wave
will be destroyed.
Similarly with light; when light impignes
on tho soap bubble part of it
is reflected from the exterior surface,
and part enters the film and is reflected
from the interior surface.
This latter portion traverses the
vater medium between the two 6ur
Xaoes twice, and is thereforo Kept behind
the first reflected ray. The two
sets of waves interfere with cach other,
and produce a oolored light instead
of a white light. Other waves, again,
may destroy each" other and extinguish
the light.
Some of the constituent colors of
the impigning white light?formed by
their passage through the film?interfere
so as to destroy each other, while
others remain unaffected. As the film
diminishes in thickness, the colors
most necessarily vary.
In this way is accounted for the
marvelous variety of beauty and colors
in the soap bubble, iridescence of
oil upon water, tempered with the
gaudiness of some insect's wings.?

than a wardrobe well stocked with <
rlaintv cotton fabrics tastefully made j
up. Batistes, organdies, the fine
zephyrs and ginghams with linen,
dimities and cheviots furnish almost
endless possibilities in the way of
useful and becoming costumes.
The girl of the period is emphatically
a cotton girl, for with her shirtwaists,
blouses and ruffled skirts of
any of these favorite materials, she is

weather luxury that is well worth seeing.
A stylish dress of blue striped dimity
is made with a yoke and deep cuffs of
embroidery. The skirt has Vandyke
points of embroidery set in at the top.
These points are four inohes wide at
the belt and extend down over the
goods about eight inches. They are
cut out from all-over embroidery and
the edges are turned in and stitched

tops are similarly arranged, and from
the cuffs extending upward, the same
points are set on the material. A collar
of blue moire ribbon in a rose
ruching and a blue moire belt with a
full bow are added.
In sleeve models there are the Qneen
Anne, a voluminoas puff reaching from
shoulder to elbow, the draped chatelaine
sleeves, the round, full balloon
style, the omnipresent mutton-leg, the
La Yalliere composed of two puffs
separated by bands of ribbon, and the
Mary Stuart, showing a series of narrow
puffs going round the arm from
the wrist to above the elbow, with a
leaf-pointed cap as a finish falling
from the shoulder to the top of the
puffed portion.
Dotted crepon is one of the still
popular fabrics, and is used by brides
for calling dresses, dinners, etc.
Silver blue, mauve, gray, or old rose
are popular tintB. The overskirt with
a row of lace insertion or an inchwide
galloon is a favorite trimming
lor these gowns. A pink crepon witn
tiny black dote has Chantilly insertion
showing the pink foundation skirt
throngh the meBhes. A round seamless
waist hooked invisibly on the left
has two insertions of black lace across
the front and wide bretelles of crepon
and insertion going over the full
sleeves. Changeable pin dotted silke
in soft summer tints are made with a
belted waist with ecru lace yoke and
bertha, and gored skirt trimmed with
a lace flounce. The bell 6kirt is revived
by Felix and other artists for
dresses of this sort, fulness at the
edge being imparted by flounces,
ruches, or single rows of wide velvet
overlaid with ecru guipurs.
Coat effects strongly rival rounclwaisted
costumes at the various watering
places this season. The coats are
in medium length, open, as a rule,

THE LEanOKN HAT TTI2 THEsO.
After consideration of tho prevailing
styles of hats one is compelled to
conclude that there never wore before
so many Leghorns, suchse.uay sailors,
half so many "walking ntraws," nor
so many unique and odd notions in
shapes. But if this bo trne, then there
never were so many hat? worn, anyhow,
or else every womauhas a pretty
hat these days, and that makes greater
the couut of hats worthy of notico.
One type of hat is much worn, of medium

which perches well to the top
of the head. It i6 black rice straw,
and is trimmed in front with a pretty
bow of -watered silk ribbon and with
three OBtrich plumes. The left side
of the brim is bent up with a bunch
of pink roses, and the right side is
garnished with a flat bow, lying partly
on the brim and partly against the
crown.
Despite the general call for large
hats there are many exquisite little
capotes. Indeed, it seems as if each
year the beauty of the tiny hat increases.
Just now they are dainiy and
artistic enough to figure in poets'
i dreams of fair women.
AN EXPENSIVE PARASOL.
A dainty parasol is not only an addition
but even a necessity to the slimmer
outfit. But, alas! the ones we i
want are entirely beyond our purse- I
6trmgs, as a rule. Here is the way to
get a fashionable and inexpensive one

Fasten this to the umbrella, leaving

Let a large flounce of good, black lace

A SUGGESTION IN TOKES.
The liking for yokes is so great at

with them, and many handsome cos|

fects which simulate them. In the

A Cheap Water Filter.
Our illustration represents a device
for filtering water which is within the

reach of every one. There is nothing
patent or expensive about it, and it
may be constructed by the merest tyro
in mechanics. The plau is to get two
casks?as seen in the engraving; fill
the one into which is inserted the
spout, or inflow of water, about half
full of alternate layers of gravel, charcoal
and pebbles?a layer of gravel
first, next six inches of charcoal, then
pebbles, then charcoal again, then a
few larger stones. From the bottom
of this cask to the bottom of the next
have a connection of thin gas-pipe,
which will rise in an elbow to about
half way up the depth of the second
cask. The cask is filled with gravel
and charcoal, just the same as the first.
Thus the water is conveyed from the
first cask to about half way up the
second cask, and, as it falls by its
gravity, undergoes a second filtering.
At the bottom of this cask the w'ate:,
now twice filtered, is drawn off for
use. Water from a pump, whether
from a well, river or tank, may be as
readily filtered in this manner as rain
water.?Kew York World.

The La Fleche is one of the celebrated
French breeds of fowls. The
bird resembles in general appearance
the Spanish, having a red face, white
ear lobes and glossy black plumage.
It is, however, much larger than that
breed, the cocks often weighing nine
and a half to ten pounds. ItB appearance
is striking, owing to its comb,
which is a bright red and like two
horns pointing upward. The bird has
long legs and body and very compact
plumage.
The flesh of this fowl io very highly
esteemed, being more delicate and
juicy than most other breeds. In
France and Belgium it ranks with the
Crevecoeur for edible qualities and
brings a high price in the market. It
is rather more delicate than the
Crevecoeur and does not mature as
early. On the other hand, it surpasses
it in laying qualities and produces
plenty of large, fine-flavored eggs.
This breed Is not at present popular
in this country. It is probable that
as it becomes better known and more
numerous, less in-breeding will be

famous Bambino di Ara Coeli, which
is in an old church in Rome. A writer
in the Doll's Dressmaker gives the
following description of a visit paid to
this church where the bambino is seen :
It is the oldest doll in the world,
4 and, if tradition is
true, almost, as old
as the Christian
religion, for it is
claimed to have been
carved out of a tree
from the Mount of
Olives in the time
of the Apostles, and
to have been painted
However, be this
true or not, it has
been in the "Eternal
City" many hundreds
of years, and
it is called the Aro
Coeli Bambino
(baba), because the
church of that name,
one of the oldest
and most interesting
in Rome, is its home.
the oldest doiIl. I shall never for
get. the first day we visited this vast
and solemnly picturesque edifice. It
was just at sunset, and golden shafts
of light illuminated the mosaic floor,
lighted up the richly gilded ceiling
ibove and flashed its wondrous brilliancy
over the prosepio or manger,
where lay the miraculous bambino in
.swaddling clothes, literally crusted
over with diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
sapphires and other precious stones,
while its neck and wrists were entirely
covered with strings of the purest oriental
pearls.
In the early ages of the bambino's
j existence, it was, on account of its
! sacred associations, held to possess
strong healing powers, and was often
taken to visit tho sick for this purpose,
being always conveyed in a costly
little carriage and ponies quito its
own. An attempt onco being made,
however, to steal either the doll or its
jewels, almost priceless, the practice
was abandoned, and now the Santissimo
Bambino is never permitted to
leave the sacristy of the Ara Coeli
church, and is never left alone, though
it is shown to pilgrims and strangers
on application, all tho year rouud.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
PUTT? SUBSTITUTE.
A cheap and effective substitute for
putty to stop cracks in woodwork is
made by soaking newspapers in a paete
made by boiling a pound of flour in
three quarts of water and adding a
teaspoonful of alum. The mixture
should be of about the same consistency
as putty, and should be forced
into the cracks with a case knife. It
will harden like paper mache, and
when dry may be painted or stained
to match its surroundings, when it
will be almost imperceptible.?Mew
York Advertiser.
HOW TO CLEAN DRESSES.
Get five cents' worth of soap-bark
from the druggist (about a teacupful).
For one dress take half of it and steep
in about one quart of boiling water
lor about half an hour or more, then
strain through a cloth.
For a silk dress, while the liquor is
i warm, take a piece of white flannel
and dip into it at intervals and rub
the eilk or satin with it until it seems
cleansed. "When done, pull the material
straight and hang it to dry; do
not iron cither the silk or Batin. If
the dress is very much soiled use clean
liquor to rinse it, but do not use clear
water for silk, or it will not stiffen up
well.
For a woolen dress dip the part to
be cleansed, or the whole of it, i(,
needed, into the liquor. ThiB can be
rinsed in the same after washing, or in
clear warm water. If very dirty, put
the dreiB to soak in a tub in the liquor
with more water added before cleaning
or washing. The woolen goods
should be pressed until it is quite dry.
Water in which potatoes have been
boiled will cleanse delicate colored
woolen or worsted goods. The dress
should be wet all over. Use no soap,
rinse in clear warm water and press
while still damp. This will not injure
the most delicate colors.?Farm, Field
and Fireside.
COOKING WATE^,
Few people know how to cook water,
writes a woman physician. The secret
is in putting good, fresh water into a
neat kettle, already quite warm, and
setting the water to boiling quickly,
and then taking it right off to U6e in
tea, coffee or other drinks, before it is
spoiled. To let it steam, simmer and
evaporate until the good water is all
in the atmosphere, and the lime and
iron and dregs left in the kettle?bah!
that is what makes a pood many people
sick, and is worse than no water at
all.
A critical taste will detect at the
first, mouthful, if the nose has not already
demurred and given warning,
the faintest trace of dead water in tea,
coffee, porridge and many other items
denigned for the stomach.
More frequently than otherwise the
breakfast kettle is set boiling with a

the coffee nrn has been neither washed,
dried, sunned nor aired; possibly in
the interest of a rigid and mistaken
economy, some of yesterday's coffee is
also "boiled over," and the partakers
wonder at their lassitude and dyspeptic
conditions. Whatever is neglected
the tea kettle and its associate pots
should be thoroughly cleansed, dried
and aired every day, and in no case
should water that has stood over an
hour in pitcher, pail or kettle be used
for cooking.
j If people will drink tea and coffee
let them at least have it as nearly free
from poisonous conditions as possible.
That much benefit may be derived by
many people frcm drinking hot water
is not disputed, but the water should
be freshly drawn, quickly boiled in a
clean and perfect vessel and immediately
used. The times of using,
I the adding of milk, mint, lemon or
! other fruit juices is a matter of preference
or special prescription.
RECIPES.

animals is the mink. Two gentlemen
were fishing on one of the rivers of
Maine. The fish were quite plenty
and as soon as one t>*s caught it was
thrown behind on the grass. After
some time one of the gentlemen thought
he would take a rest and at the same
time examine his capture. But he
could not find a single fish. He
charged his friend with having played
him a trick, but the friend was as surprised
as he.
They now determiued to watch their
next fish, and their astonishment was
unbounded when they saw a mink run
from a hole near by, snatch up a fish
and carry it off to the hole, where
they afterward found their entire capture
cuniiingly hid under some dead
leaves.
In the same manner the mink steals
game which the sportsmen shoot. On
one occasion a gentleman shot a wild
duck but before the dogs could get to
it a mink had stolen it, carried it off
to a hole in the frozen enow, which
one mink had prepared while the other
was watching for the opportunity to
steal the sportsman's game. Notwithstanding
this particular characteristic
the mink is a brave as well as a ferocious
little fellow, and he is excelled
in these qualities only by the ermine.
