STYLES in Wooden Legs.

The demand for willow wood for
artificial legs has grown immensely
in recent years. The funny men on
the stage talk glibly Of cork legs, but
light willow limbs I more popular.
English makers claim that the best
willow in the world is to be found
along the banks of the small streams
in their southern counties, and there
seems some ground for their conten-
ton, although an immense quantity
of good willow wood is cut every
year in this country. Statisticians
say that over 1000, 600 English speak
ing men veal or walk on wooden
legs, and this accounts for the enor-
nous trade in limbs of this kind.
The old fashioned stump with an
iron tip on it is seldom see now. 1t
was a great c in it's day, and
with reasonable care and luck lasted
close on to a lifetime; but it was too
awkward and conspicuous, not to say
noisy, to be popular. The modern
wooden leg is more costly, but it is
much more comfortable, and many

the aid of one can give pointers In

Strange, but True.

The other afternoon a room sufh-
GENTLY large was occupied for three
hours, by a company Of about fifty
persons. There was talking by sew
eral different persons, and about half
way through the exercises a song was
attempted. The singer accomplished
her task with much difficulty, for by
that time the air was vitiated and
exhausted so that her voice seemed
to fall back into her throat. A late
conner, who reached the room only a
few moments before the company
dispersed. recoiled from the air which
met her. and a glance showed the
dull yet CLASSY eyes and flushed
cheeks which come with choking
lungs.
But, says the reader at this point,
they must have been a set OF chill
dren or ignoramuses not to have
opened the windows or doors and
obtained relief. They were neither.
It was a session of one of the bright
est women's clubs in the city, and
there were half a dozen representa-
tive women discussing with zeal and
practical knowledge the question OF
home sanitation Her Point of View

An InsOIvent YOungster.

One boy has an allowance OF twen-
ty-five cents a week, Ostensibly for
spending money, but really to enable
his parents to impose pecuniary
penalties on him. He is required to
replace from his own purse the hats
and shoes and neckties lost, the fur
niture destroyed. etc. he is also fined
five cents for every morning he comes
to breakfast more than so many
minutes late. But how much effect
has all this? He is as Indifferent to
money as if he we're a bird of the air.
The only result of the system is to
keep his mother busy with an ac-
count book in which the balance of
debt against him increases with
every month; for he had hardly be-
gun to have a regular allowance be-
fore his needless and destructive pro
pensities drained his pocket OF every
cent, and then the charges rolled up
so fast that the income could not pre-
tend to keep pace with them.-Baby-

Character in the Face.

IF you want to get at the real
strength and character of a persons
face study the right side of 1.-THE
ugly side, as portrait painters some
times call it." said an artist. There
you will find the lines bold and harsh,
with every defect accumulated. On
the left side. however, everything is
softened down and the face is at it's
best.
Whenever you suspect a man OF
trickery OF deceit, and this rule ap-
plies equally to the fair SEX, stand on
their right and watch the expression
closely. There never yet was an
actor skillfui enough to cover up the
marks of his real personality, which
are stamped by nature for the man
who likes to read, on the right side
of tbs face. New York Herald.

A Bird That Is Feared.

The elster (pica candata) is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to
the raven tribe and is about the size
of a dove, with black and white
feathers and long pointed tail. 1t
builds it's nest in orchards and its
life is sacred. If it is eel three
times in succession on the same house
top, in a place remote from its home.
it is believed to be a sure sign of
death in that house. If it flies over
a house where any II is i'll and
gives its peculiar cry the sick person
is sure to die, but if itdoes not scream
the patient may recover. tits better
for the sick person if the bird does
not come near.
No n could be hired to bother
these birds for fear they might seek
revenge, and if by chance n of
them should die, it is a sign Of bad
luck to the owner of the property
where it was found. The bird is a
valuable insect destroyer, and in this
way probably more than compepsates
for the fear it occasions among the
farmers. Philadelphia Ledger.

Wild Dogs in the North.


In the Lake of the Woods country,
which may be described as a wilder
ness of forest, rock and brushwood,
a ace of wild dogs have established
themselves and are increasing in
numbers so rapidly that fears + en-
tertained that the animals will yet
become troublesome. When the
Canadian Pacific railway was under
construction the camps of the work
men had of Jul to be frequently
moved, and dogs were often left be-
hind, and eventually, like wolves
and foxes, found means OF sustaining
themselves.
The animals are large, lean, short
haired and generally red or red and
white in color. They L exceeding
ly wild and fly on the first approach
of man. In winter they live by
catching rabbits that abound IN the
wilderness of brushwood; in summer
the wild dogs catch fish that crowd
the smaller streams that connect In
land lakes. The Indians detest the
wild dogs, as they pursue game and
take the bait from traps and r a
general nuisance. Sometimes a wild
dog is taken in a trap that has been
set for other animals, but the beasts
are exceedingly cunning, swift and
watchful. Pilot Mound Sentinel.

Corn bread was of course the usual
dish, and chicken or turkey often
served as meat when the soldiers left
any such dainty. Salt was a scarce
article, and a famine was staring the
people in the face when salt works
were started in West Virginia. Pork
was the usual meat, and such vege-
tables as the dangerous times enabled
the slaves who staid at the farms to
raise, were the principal fare. Cattle
were driven off by soldiers of either
army, so beef was scarce. Hard
tack biscuit were often the only
bread to be gotten, and many poor
soldiers lived on it for days at a time.
Hard tack" which is about as diff
cult to chew as a piece of marble
tombstone, was soaked in water over
night. then fried in milk in the morn
ing.
In the matter of clothing, too, the
south was nearly as bad off as it was
for food. Most of the mills for max
ing goods were at the north, so Miss
Dixie found herself hard pushed to
get the goods and ribbons for her
frills and furbelows. Still fashion
reigned in spite of wars alarms, and
the rough homespun and cheap cali
co dresses we're turned and made
over and looked upon with truly
feminine pride. When Confederate
money had SO much deprecated,
fabulous prices were paid for the sim
plest t~hing-calico selling at $40 per
yard, soap at ST per pound, lawn $50
a yard, and a barrel of flour being
worth 800 in greenbacks. Of course
their value in gold was only the sell
ing price at the north, but southern
paper was almost worthless. Yet in
spite of the d%epressions in the pan
try, the scarcity of raiment in the
wardrobe and the terrors of the rag
ing war the Dixie girls amused them
selves much in the manner of today.

Trials That Beset Many n Family Which
Had to Eat and Be Clothed.
To most people Virginia cooking
has been a synonym for a delight
fully prepared meal. And no doubt
this universal opinion is a correct
one. But Virginia cooking, when
there wasn't anything to cook, Is
quite a different matter from what it
is with a pantry to which the whole
country supplies every delicacy in
and out of season.
Those upon whom devolved the
care of the larder during the days OF
the civil war tell a pitiful but ludi-
crous tale of the straits to which dire
want and necessity often reduced
them. The country was OF course
then torn up by excitement. and the
marching troops foraging kept it
pretty we'll clear of everything in
the edible line. OF course the north
ern soldiers appropriated all they
could get for themselves and their
horses, and the southerners expected
nothing but liberality at the hands
of those for whom they fought. o.
casionally a woman who was hard
pressed for money Confederate
bank notes being almost worthless)
would concoct rare dishes and sell
them to the passing Union troops at
eXorbitant prices.
A lady, who is famed for her
shrewd and keen business wit, told a
funny story Of some such dealings.
She found some old Norway raisins
and mixed with them some stale,
dusty honey that had been kept for
years for poison mixing purposes.
These ingredients she compounded
into pies, and though she failed to
taste them herself she sold every
one of these pies to the passing troops.
Uncle Sam had many foes to face,
but it is safe to say none ever had a
deadlier effect than those same pies.
Coffee, being an imported article,
was impossible to obtain. Tea, mus
tard and a thousand other seeming
necessities grew to be strangers at
southern tables. Sometimes sweet
potatoes were roasted. cut into sew
eral pieces and boiled as coffee, but
rye was the usual substitute.
