ing birds feathers in the trimming of
feminine headgear. II seems that In
the princess of Wales autumn outfit
there were q number of hats adorned
with choicest specimens of plumage.
This raised the usual criticism from
the friends of the birds, and retort
was made that the feathers were only
such as are obtained from birds and
poultry used fer human food. We
suppose that the princess Of Wales is
good deal like other women, with
perhaps even greater obligation hand
somely to bedeck her person. II Il
few feathered songsters and beauties
have to be slaughtered to this end it
only goes to show with special EN-
phasis that the sex is still under the
sway OF savage instincts. The tend.
ency to deck ones self with feathers.
with bits of shiny metal and glittering
minerals, is survival of our savage
origin, and it's continuance among
women will hold until greater de.

causes OF weakness, remove them, il
possible, and then apply preventive

SWISS CHEESE Switzerland sends
to America large quantities of q popular
and delicious cured hard cheese COM
monty called "Sweitzer'' or Swiss"
but more properly ''Emmenthal,
though the same name is also applied
to ".Gruyere." 1t is full cream
cheese and frequently of enormous
size, some reaching 100 pounds in
weight. The most striking popularity
in the process CT manufacture is the
unusual heat employed prior to add
ing the rennet and during the last
draining of the whey. Also the delay
in adding salt until after pressing,
thus allowing the development of con.
siderable acid, which gives it that rich
flavor SO enjoyed by connoissenrs.
The production of 'Gruyere" is by no
means confined to Switzerland, the
neighboring territory of France,
Germany and Italy, and even Belgium
supplying large quantities. Elk.
OPRUNINe ROSES The object of prun-
ing roses is to keep up supply of
new wood, since the flowers are borne
only on the wood of the current sea-
sons growth. Moss roses, therefore,
in common with all other kinds, need
pruning. How much is best to pruno
any particular kind of roses, or even
any particular plants, depends to some
extent on the strength of the plants
AS a rule, weak plants or weak grow.
ing varieties need more severe pruning
than strong ones. Again, If one
wishes large specimens of roses, he
will prune more severely than if lie de-
sires a large number at the expense Of
size of the individual blooms.
