Although Mena women cannot vote, orderrecently...le:mil from the different departmeute of the city governmeut give them more privileges than they enjoy In any other city in the _country. While Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis and other aveetern cltiee have been terribly aroused over the question of bathing' suite for women, out here they are more liberal. "Anything that Dlen can wear, women eau wear," ie the motto at the Rod and Gun Club bath- ing beach, The "one-piece" bathing suit L e the usual and regular thing and many of the women wear men' e bathing suite. "Spooning in city parks is all right," gap Park Commissioner Hummel. "What do people suppose parks are for, anyway? 11 tbey can't Apoon. the parks, where can they spoon?' So Omaha's parka have lotof nice, quiet, dark nookaand corners, end while there are park policemen in. plenty, these guardians alwaye tay out m the open walks where they eon be seen, be- fore they can see. "Let 'em spoon" is the order the Park Commiselon ordered some time ago, Slit skirts: 'They ean wear them slit high enougti to *show the knee, but no higher," says Chief .of Police Henry W. Dunn, "I have lesue1 mimeto the patrolmen to arrest • ail women whose slit. skirts show the top of their hose. 111 have nothing so indecent on the streets of Omaha —and J. don't believe Omaha women will wear them cut that high, anyway." Chief Dunn says he does not care how ultra-thin are the huge worn with these longslit skirt, but he won't stand for rips and holes in the fabric. "But Omaha women won't titans]. for them, either," saye the chief. Omaha, is a splendid city for the new transparent skirt, too. The sun Is bright out here, and when the wearer of the light filmy stuff gets between the man with two eyes and the afterneou sun, the effect is startling. But the police have orders not to interfere. If any Omaha .woman wante to walk down Fathom street with a goesamer sort of dress arraugeil for its transpar- ent effects, she will .not be stoppedby an officer of tbe law. It's all right. Ae for tight Bkirts—well, they can't get 'mu so tight that the Omahn police will inteafere. "13earia?" "Trots?" "Hugs?" "Tan- go?" Omaha, has a Board of Censors and these thinge are not permitted in the public dance halls, but at the dubs they are danced to the heart's content of those who are neither too old nor too fat to indulge. And not a word from the censor, either. "Let 'ein enjoy themselves. It's -all right. Not a bit of harm iu it," say thoee who ore paid by the city to know what hi good and what is bad in danc- ing. The new "Beach". dance is lso al- lowed at the bathing beaches, where the guests all wear bathing :suits and get out on the sand and dance. And these suits are not those made for the pur- pose of not going near the water either. Just the ordinary kind of Lathing suit which n man wears—the one-piece kind that stieks tight enough when dry and a lot tigher when wet. .Many of the women wear them just as the men 40. Some cities went into hysterics over "September Morn," So did. -Omaha— but not in the way of prohibiting its public display and sale. Half the de- partment stores in town placed. copies on hale at 10 cents, and sold out in an hour. Just one single effort was made to have the picture remove1 from dis- play on the streete. And "old fashio'n' woman wrote to Mayor Dahlman about it, and here is what the "Cowboy Mayor" answered: "Your objection to the picture and your request that I suppress it gave me much pleasure; for it gave me defin- ite information as to where I could see a copy 'without -tramping all over town. Really, madam, I cannot agree with you that there it anything bad about that pkture. I am one who be- lieves in the saying, 'It all depends on the condition of one'e stomach whether they see wrong things or not.' "If I could' paint a picture like that I would resign at once and go into the business of painting pictures. There tonight have been a trifle more draperies about the maid in the picture, but ihe artist didn't see it that way, and he is better judge of nature than I am." Seine eitiee "cut out" spooning in automobilee, but the Omaha, officials Say it's all right. "Be careful where you're going, though," they say to the people In the ear.

"Say, there is a nest with seventeen eggs in it in those weeds just at the back of the hen house." How often is Just mai an expression heard duriug this season of the year. The natural instinct in the hen is to reproduce Iter kind and to this end she hideher nest away in a seciuded Place where she hopes to be able to lay her setting, and incubate them undisturbed by the thrifty housewife, anxious to find every egg, to aid in supplying house- hold necessities, Even it the hen laws every day seventeeu eggs means sev- enteen days, gut a montlt often passes in producing this number. Imagine the condition of these eggs, espe0111.11Y when the: male bird has been allowed to run wall the flock, and the eggs are fertile, and perhapa the sun strikes directly upon them for several hours each day, They are surely not fit for human consumption. It would be far better to allow the old hen to hatch and raise her flock than to sell the eggs, and injure the egg trade, even though the season is very late for hatching chickens, Perhaps the best thing to do is to feed the eggs to tile pigs, Experience has always proven that in the end it pays to market goods In the best possible condition. Our apple growers have found ont that to hold a coveted place in the market their apples must be first- class, of the grade stamped on the package. duet so with eggs. If the best prices are to be obtained for eggs they must be first-class eggs. Eggs whicli have reposed in the blazing sun for two, three, and even four weeks, with the temperature at least part of the dine high enough to commence incubation, are far from first class. Good eggs find a ready market at high prices, and it is only the fact that so many of inferior quality have been finding their way into tue market that prices in the past have not been hign- er. The price of good eggs has been lower to enable the dealer to break even or make a living profit on the in- ferior eggs which he was compelled to handle, and which had to be de- stroyed or sold at a loss. In some sectoions eggs are now bought on a loss -off basis, which is the only just method. (lase count can never prove satisfactory to the producer who mar- kets nothing but strictly high-class uniformly fresh eggs. It will always pay to discard the dozen or so of eggs of questionable age and quality found in the stolen nest. The loss of all these is as nothing compared to the several cents per aozen extra price reckoned on the hundreds of dozen Produced by the flock during the year, the increased price being due to the fact that all the eggs are positively guaranteed fresh as shown by the stamp they hear of the date of being produced. Buying eggs on the loss -off basis encourages better hen houses, better flocks, more careful mauage ment, and a finer quality of eggs, for which the producer invariably receives higher prices. Always remove the male birds from the glock as soon as the breeding season closes: Try to have the chickens all hatched early in the season to hasten this removal, as well as to get greater profits from the birds hatched. Gather the eggs regularly once, and, if possible, twice daily during the very hot weather, Prepare cool muitable nesting places for the hens to prevent as far as pos- sible hiding away of nests and conse- quent loss. Search diligently each day all probable places of nesting. Dis- card all eggs about which there is any reason for suspicion as to age. Carefully grade each lot marketed as to size and color and ultimately in- -crease the price of eggs and the pro- fits from the poultry on the lar— Advocate.

It is to be ad- mitted that some fanciers in their eager- ness fod feathers neglected the utility qualities in their strains, but in many other cases both wont band in band. The great egg -laying qualities of the White Wyandotte was made possible by the many breedre who have worked for egg productioo, and some strains etre on a par with any breed or variety in the world. The same can be said of other breeds whose owners have woilead along the lines of utility as well as fancy. More than ever is the so-called fancier striving not only for feather, but for productiveness in their fowls, realizing that the American people de - mend fowls of utility value, as .well as beauty. • Poultry raisers are going to seek knowledge o lithe handling of breeders more in the future. The incubator and boroder, while not perfect, have been blamed for many poor hatches, when the sin was in the breeding yard.. The way many fowie are raised and eared for it is a wonder the artificial hatcher does as well as it has in the past. There is still very much to learn in the handling of breeders. Much good advice tu given the begin- ner in poultry from time to thne in tbe poultry press, but from the appearance and methods of many poultry keepers the advice is either forgotten or not heeded. Do not forget the green food these Almost days. Poultry will not do as web if this important feed is neglected. It pays to purchase cabbage or beets, if no grass 'is obtainable. Plant some peach or plum trees in the poultry yards this fall Or spring. The poultry will be better for the shade, and the trees benefitted by the poultry. Fowls protected from the het rap of the sun during summer grow better and will repay their owners for the extra cost of a few treee. Poultry and. eggs are commandIng fair price and the poultry raiser who is in the commercial end has II) complaint to make.

With the many - additional poultry exhibits this yhter and next, many of the young judges will have a chance to gain experience?. The old-line judges have alreads, booked for coming shows, poultry associations realizing to obtain the experienced judges they must be engaged early, rtlity first in any breed is what should be the aim of every poultry breeder, especially those who expect to make a living from poultry, and the wise breeders are making every effort to reach the mark of having both a good looking fowl that also has a utii- ity value.

Magazine for September) It appears, therefore, to be as well established as a fact tan be that a spir- itual, or nervous shape, an image, a be- lated reflection of life, is capable of subsisting for some time, of teleasing itself from the body, or surviving it, of traversing enormous distances in the twinkling of an eye, of manifesting itself to the hiving, and, sometimes, of com- municating with them. For the rest, we have to recognize that these apparitions are very brief. They take place only at the precise mo- ment of death, or follow very shortly after. They do not seem to have the least consciousness of ca new or :Japer - terrestrial life, differing from that of the body whence they issue. On the con- trary, their spiritual energy, at a tole when it ought to be absolutely pure, be- cause it is rid of matter, seems greatly inferior to what it was when matter sur- rounded it. These more or lees uneasy phantasms, often tormented with trivial cares, although they come front another world, have iiever brought us one single revelation of topical interest concerning that world whose prodigious threshold they have crossed.

Magazine) the pistol had come fairly into vogue as is duellist'a weapon. in England, and froin that time forward pistol duels were frequent—mere/frequent than those with the award. Gumnakers devotea their best workmanship to duelling pistol, and at duelling range, say up to twenty paces, these weapons were as near per- fection as skill could make them. Tlie latter-day pistol had a tett-inclt barrel, and carried a ball of 48 to the pound, percussion locks of the best workman- ship, and. hair triggers, which, though is little slower thansthe ordinary "pull," had obvious advantagea for their pur- pose. Manton was the foremost maker; he charged fifty guineas a poir for the best, and the' "feel" when hell in post - tion wee eaid "to be exquisite"; so ad- mirably balanced that it seemed capable of hitting it crown piece at any distance up to fifty yards. Of course, only constant praetice would make a good shot, and a very high standard of markraanship was set for the man who aspired to be consid- ered an expert with the pistol. When he could bit twelve wafers ,at fourteen yards, and. do it within six minutes, loading his pistol himself between shots, ho might consider 'himself proficient; and it will be borne in inind that the muzzIe-loading pistol took several sec- onds to properly charge. The greet thiug was to bring up the pietol trate on the inark and fire with the least possible delay. Proficiency, of course, WAS not every- thing. It was quite as daunting to face a pistol at twelve yards as to face the sword at close quarters, and no pro- ficiency at wafers would atone for ner- vousness on the ground. (inc ardent practioneer schooled himself with a con- trivance of hie own invention. He had the life-size figure of a man with a bracketed hand in which a pistol could. be held. at the "present," and by means of a cord front the trigger of the pistol in the dummy's grasp to his own. belt, he discharged the weapon at himself as he fired his own pistol, by slightly draw- ing back. Great stress was laiti on the import - once of aiming at a small object. "Mark well one of the gilt buttons on. Inc coat; a person can never fire with accuracy unless he aim at some small object: Widish explains while the experienced duelist of more recent days "went out" dressed entirely in black, that his per- son might offer no such mark as the gilt button of an older day. Being in position, the men each held hie arm well in to the side and. raised hie pistol to the proper level, keeping the head straight, the eyes tuella as much to the right as possible, and the pistol directed steadily towards the small object—that gilt button, if the adversary were so obliging as to wear such. And when the word was given, being eool and collected. "Pull the trigger carefully and. en- deavor to avoid moving it muscle in the arm or hand: sufficient force to dis- charge the pistol. Should the party be Mt he mast not feel alarmed or im- agine himself more seriously wounded.' than perbaps is the case.
