came a very hot day, and. having no leaves
to shelter them. they suffered greatly from
the heat so that their heads hung over the
rim OF the nest
The mother took a position just above them
and with outstretched wings did her best to
shield them from the sun. For more than
two hours she kept her place, not leaving it
even TO bring them food.
When we noticed that she, too, was painting
with the heat we thought it time to go to her
rescue. With rake we hosted a grain bag
over the nest to serve as an awning.
The male bird appeared at once and the
mother, finding the nest shaded, joined him
In catching insects for the little ones, who
quickly revived.

FREAKS OF FASHION.
Some Attractive Oddities of the Modes of
the Hour.

the Hour.
Among the gowns in the trousseau of the
new Empress OF Russia is dinner dress Of
light blue brocade, trimmed on the skirt and
bodice with little sable heads, and an even
ing gown Of white miroir velvet, made with a
bolero jacket which is embroidered with real
pearls. Her dressing gowns are made of six
valuable India shawls, which were presented
by Queen Victoria.
Ermine, which is so fashionable for capes.
collars, and various purposes OF trimming,
has found further resources for usefulness in
the Waistcoat worn with the taiior-made
coat. 1t is made with a box plait and a
pouch effect in front quite as successfully as
if it were velvet.
A new corset is being worn quite extern
sively by French women. II is made with
shoulder straps and terminates little above
the waist, giving perfect freedom TO the
lower part OF the body, yet so cleverly con-
structed that 1t gives all necessary support
and expands with every breath. For sing
ers. dancers, and all athletic exercises it is
said to be exceptionally comfortable, secur-
ing easy grace Of movement and plenty Of
room to breathe.
The luxury of ou- age is exemplified in the
extravagant lounging gowns, which are a
part of every wardrobe complete in all its de-
tails, and something new for them is cloth
called ''zenana. which has the appearance of
quilted silk lined with eiderdown. But this
is expensive, and French hannels, which were
never so pretty as they are now, lined with
silk and trimmed with fur, make very enticing
gowns.
Everything. even the hats and toques. has
the godet fullness, and some of the evening
capes display this sort of plaits with great
effect. They are made of silk. velvet. cloth.
or fur, and are marvels of millinery art as to
trimming. One, seen at the opera, was of
White bengaline, trimmed with three ruffies
OF white chiffon. made with heading and set
on two inches apart, reaching almost TO the
neck, which has a chiffon ruche.

German Women as Farmhands.

The utilization of Women in Germany as
farmhands, which so many moralists have
considered their duty to censure, apparently
meets with approval from DR.. Joseph Kraus-
kopf. the rabbi. for in letter from Germany
to his congregation he says "Such farm work
Tor women is neither degrading nor too tax
ing. They have pledged to become help
mates 10 their husbands and they regard it
their dnty TO lessen the Iabors OF their fathers
and being physically able to do their share
they regard il wrong TO permit the stronger
sex TO slave themselves to death while they
are idling their time away at home. Judging
from their happy and healthy looks, they
seem to be none the worse for taking their
places alongside the men folk for the pur-
pose OF honestly earning their bread.
Had we little more practical
good sense and less sentimentality among
our women a: home, many woman's life
might he happier to-day. happier for being
more useful. and many Il mans life would be
spared the necessity OF shaving itself to death
to indulge a wifes or a daughters idleness
and luXuries. .''-Philadelph Record.

Lake Erie Seminary and then started
a school in Brooklyn, which was only
disbandoned at time of my marriage
in '65.
"The only vacation | had in those
years." said Mrs. Granais, "was
when l came to New York to hear
Patti sing at the Academy. Beautiful
Patti, whose divine voice was reve-
lation to me!
While on the subject of the stage
Mrs. Grannis bemoaned the fact that
music and the drama are not made the
strongest allies of good, and waxed
eloquent in strongly objecting to the
immoral tone of many of the mod
ern plays produced.
She grew righteously indignant too
at the indiscriminate ufe use of the
decolete gown at public functions
where hundreds of persons feed their
gaze upon the necks and shoulders
of women.
"a becoming and beautiful gown
gives us all thrill of aesthetic pleas

detail alone, alone, on the eve of an
examination in ecclesiastical history.

Lady Henry Somerset knows very
little about the luxury of rest. She
is an indefatigable worker. In every
good cause she is interested, and her
interest means practical help. During
the last year she held 115 meetings
and twenty-seyen conferences. She
travelled over eight thousand miles
and spoke in twenty counties to about
two hundred thousand people.
