Byron used a great deal of hair dressing,
but was very particular to have only the best
to be found in the market. If Ayers Hair
yigor had been obtainable then, doubtless
he would have tested its merits. as SO many
distinguished and fashionable people are
doing now a-days.

Pooling Birds with String.

Those people who can not view the
multitude of blossoms on their cherry
trees with unmixed delight, owing to
thoughts of hungry robins later in the
season, may like to try plan recon-
mended for the discontinue of these too
aggressive songsters. This is to put a
spool of the coarsest white thread on
long pole so that it will wind off when
walking with it around the tree, and
with it make a sort of Melted shield for
the cherries. These numerous cross
stretched strings, fastened on the outer
margin of the twigs, frighten off the
birds. Their cuteness suspects trap.
1t is the one successful device against
crows in a sprouting corn field: num-

The Kitchen of "a Queen.

The kitchen of the empress of Aus
tria is one of the completest in the
world. New methods of preparing or
serving food are adopted only at her
suggestion. Cooking devices which
have become inconvenient or Anticipated
are abolished only at her suggestion.
Changes in the personnel of the estab.
lishment are made, for the most part,
only in obedience to her orders. The
kitchen in which the food for the bluest
blood of Austria is cooked is huge
one, with all the arrangements at each
end for preparing fish, flesh and fowl
for the table. FiftJ chickens can be
cooked at once on the big, whirling
Splits The broiling and baking and
frying occupy small regiment OF
servants. Twenty-Five male cooks
spit, season and stuff the meats. AS
many women cooks prepare the vege-
tables, the buildings and the salads
A dozen or more boys carry the birds,
fish and joints from the kitchen to the
carving room, where long lines OF
carvers slice everything laid before
them. -House-Furnishing Review.

chance for the boys life.
At that moment there fell upon JIn's
ear familiar voice, raised to pierre
ing cry.

And for one moment his terror
stricken glance fell upon Aunt James
face-not cold and forbidding, but
strained in an agony of tender fear.
With scream of fright his eyes met
hers in frantic appeal for help-the
help he knew she could not give.
The chorus of excited voices mingled
in a hollow roar, then died in silence
as Jim went up-up-still struggling
with that cruel rope. At last he got
1T around one arm, then another,
loosening that choking pressure about
his throat Another passing of the
rope about his arms, each one attended
with fearful effort. The blood rushed
to his head. There was a blackness
before his eyes and roaring in his
ears.
Another violent struggle for the life
which seemed so sweet now that it
might be going from him. He gained
another twist on the rope, and could
now draw free breath
A glance below turned him sick and
giddy. As through a mist he got a
glimpse of the distant landscape. He
was moving on and up, a helpless speck
between heaven and earth.
Where was he going? When should
he stop-and where? Would it be
hours in which he must be held in this
wise? Would darkness find him still
drifting at the mercy of the wind?
Then another thought came. This
was being his own master-starting
out to have his own wayl What wild
longing seized him to be back among
the quiet farm scenes which he had
sometimes found irksomel Even Aunt
James peculiarities could be borne.
But how about that look caught from
Aunt James eyes? No GOODNESS or in

and men turned white. as the boy
was carried beyond reach of poss;ble
