Remembrances For the Holiday TiW TOT poodles, knitted or crocheted of white or fancy colored woolen yarns, are a novelty In Christ mas gifts that will delight young tofants and because of their oddity will Interest even grownups, for, though they were originally intended as playthings for young children, they have become quite a fad with smart women, who are making them to use on their dressing tables either ag orna ments or for pincushions. These dogs are equally attractive to babies and older persons because of their shagginess, a feature In knitted and crocheted animals not successfully produced before. And, incidentally, they are really excellent reproductions of Bkye terriers and the griffons, for the wool made in loops of yarn is decidedly good imitation of the curly coats of these dogs. The Skye terriers in white or a gray ish blue yarn are both effective and quite as soft and fluffy a the real pets, for like the living dogs their en tire bodies are covered with loops of yarn that hang down from long ears and dangle about their eyes. The WOOLLY DOOS FOB BABIES. noses and mouths of these dogs are made' of black yarn and the eyea of large shoe buttons, giving quite a nat nral and expressive look to the cun ning faces. With large pink buttons tied In bows about these little dogs' necks they are decorative enough to grace any dainty boudoir and are prac tical for use as toys for small young sters to throw around a nursery. Unlike the griffons, these Skyes have only two feet front ones that are shaggy like the rest of their bodies. They are made In a lying position so that bind legs are not necessary. The claws of the feet are outlined with stitching of black yarn. The griffons are made on larger lines than the Skyes and are most effective, because the heads and front parts of the bodies are shaggy and In sharp Contrast to the plain crocheted or knit ted hind cortlona. so fashioned to look as If the hair had"been clipped. The tail Is of course curly, like the bead and front legs. The claws on the four feet are brought out by dark lines of gray wool, which make the toes dis tinctive. The eyes are large shoe but tons and the noses and mouths of black yarn, made In the same way as the features of the Skyes. The legs are short, but are stiff and strong enough to support the weight of the dog's body and keep it In an upright standing attitude. As toys these poodles are especially desirable, because they are made of cotton and wool and are so soft that a WA8TB PAPEB BASKET. - child cannot be hurt by playing with them, even if hit Then, too, they can not be easily torn and when dirty may be washed the same as- any woolen cloth. The charming waste paper basket shown In the design is quite within the capabilities of every girl to make. It is composed of six pieces of cardboard cut to shape and lined with colored sateen, which also coven the cardboard forming the bottom. The pieces are covered on the outside- with flowered material In a stripe design, and care must be taken when cutting to make the stripes meet at each piece when It is joined to Its fellow. The ends are firmly sewn to the cardboard bottom, and the sides can either be joined or else merely connected by ribbon bows passed through stiletto pierced boles la the cardboard, and .If the ribbon Is tightly tied and the holes evenly pierced there will be no danger of the contents of the basket falling out Could You Believe HlmT A, young fellow was being tried for an offense In the criminal court the other day. He bad for bis attorney one of the younger members of the bar. One of the witnesses against bun was not very prepossessing in bis ap pearance, bnt bis testimony was quite damaging. In his argument to the jury the young attorney was claiming that this witness was not worthy ofpllef. He then turned and pointed to the man as be thought and said: "Look at him.

In Training a Young 8hepherd Dog 7 ' the Care of Stock. i To make a success In training the collie puppy we must be willing to use both time and patience. He must first learn to come at call and come at once, not hesitatingly or doing so unwilling ly. - When he is called he should know that be Is to obey, and while he Is be ing taught this If he Is favored with bits of cooked meat or cake and a friendly pat upon the head he will readily understand and do as be is bidden gladly. v v Never scold or whip him at this pe riod, for. forced obedience done In a A GOOD OOLLHL Waiting- for bla master" word. sneaklsh way . cannot be. depended upon. No dog can be expected to obey gracefully when he knows the whip is waiting for him. Gain bis confi dence by kind treatment, and bis train ing will be an easy matter. ' If be looks for a favor or kindness at his master's hand be comes to him full of animation and spirit, ready to help If wanted. Good work cannot be secured If the dog is harshly treated. If be la under good control In this way be can at once be checked when be makes er rors In bis work Instead of going on and making things worse. -Than to come to call at once there is nothing more Important for a useful dog to know to leave all else and heed bis master's call. Then , teach blm to drive at the heel, keeping him in check close by your side while you do the driving, so that he may become accustomed to drive at the rear or heel. Persist In this until he gets the habit well formed, and do not under take to teach him to head off or turn the stock to right or left until he Is a sure driver at the beel. Then he can be taught easily any desired ways of handling the stock, only go slowly, step by step, not trying to accomplish the Impossible in turning out a fully trained dog In a few days. Often a cord Is used In restraining the dog If be Is overanxious to force the stock, and In some cases It may be necessary to continue its use until be bas given up his fault of going to the bead. A headstrong or vicious steer turning upon the puppy would cause blm Jo fight at the bead and so set una habit, for" which" reason "weadvrse avoiding such kind of Stock In the ear ly training. If the dog Is kept on a chain or in a small kennel yard it la well that be should have a bit of free dom before attempting to keep him un der control.

No picture perhaps bas bad so ro mantic an adventure or so miraculous an escape as Baphael's "Christ Bear ing the Cross." It was ordered by the fraternity of Mount OUret at Palermo, the brothers wishing to bare a speci men of the celebrated Italian painter's work hanging In their monastery. The picture is remarkable (or the troth with which the painter bas portrayed the suffering of the Saviour as be bends beneath the heavy load. Ra phael painted It in Borne, where be carried out so much of bis work, and the picture was carefully packed and dispatched by sea to Sicily. During the short voyage a storm arose, and the wind and waves became so violent that the vessel was wrecked. The crew and passengers perished, and no trace of the ship or her cargo was seen again, save the picture, which, float ing in Its case on the water, was wash ed ashore and discovered by the ex pectant monks. On the " case being opened It was found that the sea wa ter bad In no way Injured the divine beauty of the pointing, . which , was bung up at Palermo, amid great rejoic ing and thanksgiving at Its miraculous escape.

Perhaps It Is just as well. No young widow, ITe heard say, can wear mourning without looking like an adventuress. Bnt In the seventeenth century widows not only wore mourning, but their bed curtains were black, and the sheets snd pillowcases bad a black edging, like stationery. Even their lingerie bad a mourning band. In Italy the nobles of the renaissance carried their mourning aa far as their knives aqd forks, which bad ebony l,'end of Ivory bandies. Gray cloth sMjrteded black for mourning In the eighteenth century. - The fashion lasted about twenty years. Then It died out, as it bad sprung np, mysteriously." Los Angeles Times. Log leal Result.

The Merino sheep Industry in Ver mont is again entering an era of pros perity that presages a boom, according to an exchange. While by no means approaching the palmy days of thirty years ago, the Industry is reviving, and each year for a' decade past has shown an Increase ' in shipments of fancy strains of Merino breeding sheep to Africa and Australia. Within ten years past the bulk of the shipments have been to the Transvaal, In South Africa, and the leading Boer farmers are today breeding Addison county sheep almost exclusively. ' Nebraska's Stretohy Hog. We compliment the swine breeders of Nebraska on the wisdom they are Showing In their breeding operations. They bare not been carried away by pedigree fads, and today tbey are pro ducing what one might call a profitable farmer's bog. It is our honest convic tion that no state In the corn belt shows so many useful bogs as are seen at the Nebraska state fair. Tbey com bine scale with a large degree of qual ity. We concede that as yon go east there will be found rather more quali ty, but the reduction In scale, In onr opinion, more than offsets this superior quality. Men who are breeding bogs and feeding them out for the meat market are calling for stretchy bogs, and the fine stock breeders of Nebras ka are just wise enough to satisfy this demand. - No doubt the remarkable scale that Is found In Nebraska bogs Is to some extent the result of the free use of that splendid flesh forming food, alfalfa. It makes bone and builds the frame, says Iowa Homestead. Intensive Farming. Dr. EL C. Bwitzer. a veterinary sur geon of Springfield. Mass., bas a four teen acre farm wltbln the city limits on which he keeps thirty horses and cattle blooded (Jueraaeys snd Ayr shlrcM.
