five to ten minutes, until it becomes a

can be made by dissolving two ounces of
hard soap in boiling water and using
it instead of the soft soap.

HOW TO LAY A CARPET.
If You Start Out Right, the Rest Com
yUitbout MucI, TrouhIe

If You Start Out Right. the Rest Comes
without Much Trouble.
There is no short cut or royal road to
success in carpet laying, and my method
is not essentially different from other
housewives, but as my visitors always say
mine are smoothly laid it may aid some to
get my ideas. First, l am careful to see
that the edges are true-i. O., straight as
the wall itself or notched to meet the in
CAPABILITIES at the right place.
Surprising the room to be square-that
is, with straight sides and ends-if there
is hearth to be reckoned WITH l begin
on that side. Get the first edges down
smooth and straight. Then go over to tho
other side of the room, opposite that you
have tackled down, stretch the carpet at
the corners all you can and place tack
there, driven but half way home, for you
will have TO pull it presently.
Now go TO the left side, facing the
hearth, and carefully tack that edge,
stretching as you go. When that is fin
ished, take the right side, beginning at the
hearth end, as before, and go ondown. You
will now find that your stretcher-you
should always use one-will give you a
little to turn in at the seams, no matter
how closely you have cut and calculated.
Do not hesitate to turn it under, if it is Il
half yard, but see that it is even and
smooth. If the stretching is done at the
seams, the carpet will be as tight as a
drumhead and just as smooth, and, what's
moro, it will stay that way, sweep easier
and wear better

A Shy DANCER.
Stories Told by Westerners of the Antics
of the Sand Hill Crane.

Stories Told by Westerners of the Antics
of the Sand Hill Crane.
The sand hill crane is a very bright
bird. A Recreation writer says that its
very name is synonymous of vigilance
and alertness. 1t feeds ON the treeless
plains or in the barren wheat stubble,
where it can see long way beyond gun
shot, or one of flock is posted as SEN
tinel, and this bird stands with bill half
open, ready to give an alarm. 1t can be
killed by decoying it with pasteboard
figures cut to proper size and shape and
painted, but mounted birds are better.
A pit is dug deep enough to conceal a
man, the decoys are put out, and the
cranes are shot as they come over. The
best region to shoot them is in the Co.
lumbia river watershed and south of it
in the Pacific coast states.
When one shoots bird of the size
and build of a crane in midair, it col
lapses, like card house or tent. But
such apparent collapses are sometimes
deceptive, as, for instance:
Before I could reach him he SCARED
off into the air with wheeling fight
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feet
Running up, thinking to get him alive
for decoy, tried to tap him on the
head and stun him. He showed fight,
and used my gun as backed off, and
he took to his wings
The sand hill crane is something of
fighter of men if wounded and the only
safe crane is a dead one. Their bills are
long and sharp and are capable of put
ting out mans eye.
The sand hill crane has some curious
habits that make him Of more than pass
ing interest to the student of birds. Out
on the prairies parties of them have balls
in the spring, to which the select birds
seem to be invited. These balls are pic
turesque affairs from the human stand
point. There are curious dances, which
are sort of solitary waltzes or pretty
slow jigs. Sometimes the birds leap
over one another's backs and flap their
wings, giving their peculiar cry Some
times rival birds have fierce duels, using
their keen bills like lances, battleaxes
and swords sn
