boned corset would do very well to wrap
around broken arm or leg until it heals,
but it is crime to wear it over the soft
abdominal walls which encase the most
wonderful system of organs, which only in
their full development can give us a worthy

These Make the Best Possible Cur
tain Stretchers.
From the New York Times
Fortunate are housewives who still possess
the quilting frames of their grandmothers
for these serve admirably to dry curtains
Upon. Two or three curtains can be dried
en- them at once. One curtain is stretched
ever the others and each held in place by
pins or tackled with coarse stitches to the
lasting or cloth that is bound over the quilt
ing frame. Indeed, SO much more con-
venient are these frames than the tedious
methods of pinning the curtains to the
floor with sheets spread out to protect the
carpet that every housekeeper who has her
curtains Numbered at home should have
che. Some large furnishing stores have
them for sale, and where these stores are
not accessible, any carpenter can make a
frame. 1t will not be expensive, as it is
extremely simple in design, and takes little
material. Four boards, each about three
inches wide and one inch thick, are all that
is needed. Two of the boards should be
eight or nine feet long, and the other two
five feet. Having measured the longest
curtain you own, let the carpenter bore
several holes in each board so that the
four pegs he will turn for you may fasten
the frames into an ob1ong the size of any
curtain in the house. While the curtains
are drying they can be laid on the grass or
against the fence in the back yard, or in
stormy weather, stood up in any convenient
room.

MATERIAL FOR A NEST.

Bird Stole q Ten-DOIlnr Bill and
Used 1t us Lining.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A SO BILL which had mysteriously dis
appeared, was recovered by Assistant Coin
Teller Phil. Turpin of the subtreasury in
peculiar manner. He has beautiful farm
out on Cliff creek, near the Little Miami
river. In that section birds fairly abound.
One evening about the beginning of May
Mr.. Turpin getting ready to attend a
soiree at his next neighbours in Newtown,
about two miles distant. The weather, it
will be remembered, at that time was I'M
usually warm, and he left the windows of
his room open.
Mr. Turpin had taken his money, among
which was a SO bill, and laid 1t on u CEN
ter table, intending to put it in a pocket of
his other trousers. The room is at the
corner of the house, and has windows On
both sides.
He stationed himself at one of the vim
COWS and commenced to shave. The birds
were singing outside and flying about the
house and through the open windows, joy
full. no doubt, at the advent of spring,
while others We're busy in trees building
nests 1t was luxury to shave amid such
surroundings, and when Mr.. Turpin finished
he looked sleeker than ever. After wash
ing he prepared to don his Sunday-go-to-
meeting clothes. After he arranged his
necktie to give the best effect he went to
the center table and began picking UP his
money, but was not little surprised to
find $40 bill missing. He thought that
the wind might have blown it on the floor
and he began looking there for it,
After long time, spent in vain, he gave
up the search there. He then went out
into the yard. and began hunting among
the flowers and grass for it, thinking that
it might have been blown through the
epen window, but he had to go to that
soiree minus $40 note. re-
Day before yesterday the severe wind
storm blew robins nest out of a tree near
the front porch. Mr.. Turpin picked the
nest up, and was about to cast it away
when he noticed what seemed to be piece
of paper of peculiar color. He examined it,
and found 1t to be currency of some de-
nomination, but 1t was not until ne had
carefully torn the nest apart that he dis
covered it to be $40 bill. 1t was apparent
ly the one he had lost a couple of weeks
ago, a bird having flown into the room and
snatched up the money. The bill was in
pretty bad condition, and he redeemed it
at the treasury yesterday.

Nov, take my experiences of today. My

slabs of putty I ever tried to eat. When
she asked my opinion of them, being a

that a ten-year-old girl could have done
better Then she began to cry.
After that. I went down town to my

goods. She picked out a material entirely
