BIRDS IN BRIDAL ATTIRE.
The Feathered Tribe Don Festive
Plumage for Their Mating.

Few persons realize that birds don
spring costumes, yet many Of the feath-
cred tribe assume particular plumage
this time of year, putting on what may
truly be called their bridal attire. Even
the male sparrow wears black collar
when he celebrates spring by counting
his lady love.
The sparrow's bridal dress is so like
his ordinary plain suit of feathers that
it passes unnoticed, but other birds
make much greater changes. Take the
snipe family, for example. Some OF
them grow larger feathers around the
neck and head, of color entirely diff
ferent from the ordinary plumage. The
horned or crested grebe is particularly
odd. The black feathers worn at other
time fat against the head grow into two
horned-shaped tufts, and at the same
time the whole head appears sur
rounded by an oriole Of blue-black
feathers.
1t is well known that the birds of
paradise as well as the heron, wear the
precious feathers for which we prize
them only at this time of the year, when
they do their counting.
The cardinal bird also changes con-
siderably. His colors get brighter, the
spots on the side and back become more
pronounced, and he grows long tail
feathers, which, il they are not torn
from him during the Journeys with his
rivals, he loses naturally month or
two afterward.
The weaver birds, in their ordinary
garb, a brownish-gray color like the
sparrows, change in spring to very
loud and variegated coat of feathers.
Scarlet, red and light blue are mostly
| the common combinations. All these
bridal dresses of birds are not caused
by the growth of new feathers, but are
simply change Of color. 1t is odd that
black feathers may be changed into
white and white into black, but it seems
to be only the effect of increased yitali-
ty which is responsible for the change

stocks and bonds,

New York, Aug. 31.-Today's stock mar
ket was characterized by great irregular
lty, prices of many stocks remaining re-
nafkably stable, even on large transac-
tons, while the price movement of others
was wide and erratic to the last degree,
and quite independent of any general in
huence or harmony of tendency with 9th
ers. Sugar was the sensational feature,
ana covered range of nearly 5 points
during the day. There was no news re-
gardlng the stock received during the day
that was not known at the opening, but
the speculative trades drew some deduc-
ton from the facts already known that
led to very excited trading in this stock.
The speculation turned on the probable
benefit to the industry from the treasury
departments Interpretation of the clause
of the tariff bill discriminating against
sugar from countries that have an export
bounty. The belief that this clause would
be administered so as to insure the ex-
clusiOn from competition of Dutch re-
fined sugars gave Sugar stock its strength

Hot weather Patience,

The little ones soon grow weary these
hot days. Let them wear old clothes
and rod around on the cool grass, and
dabble their hands in water. Give them
plenty Of fruit and vegetables, but very
little meat, and don't force them to go
to bed too early, to lie In close, hot
rooms, tormented by mosquitoes. You
wouldn't like 1t yourself. Don't send
them to little schools, to be cooped up
when they ought to be playing, and to
have their brains forced like dollhouse
cucumbers. Even II you are weary aud
discouraged yourself-as too many
mothers are. alasl-try TO be kind and
forbeanng with your little ones. Re
member how soon this precious time Of
child life will slip away, and think, too.
how few the years will seem till those
same troublesome little ones win guard
and bless your old ge!--Housewife.

Crinoline is much used for shaping
hats, and 1t can be twisted, tucked.
doubled and waved to suit amy style OF

much ribbon and floral decoration, and
if the ribbon be fancy and gauzy 1t
should be put on in big punches. In
fact, profusion of trimming. espe-
cially flowers is to be observed in near
ly all the seasons millinery.
The fashionable hats and bonnets,
particularly those from Paris. have
somewhat harsh color combinations,
which only Partisan milliner can
make effective A hat of black straw
may be ornamented with dark red and
orange yellow, or with "fresh-leaf"
green, violet and black.
Canvas sailors are now as much worn.
as straw ones; but they should be-
trimmed with ample bows Of ribbon,
and some fine flowers to cover the crown
of the head when the hair is worn low.
Many charming toques have founda-
ton Of plated net, gauze, chiffon or;
silk muslin, trimmed with medium
sized flowers and feathers, often of two
or three colors, or bird-of-paradise
plumes. Toques are always becoming
to young people, but for summer wear
they are ruinous to the complexion.
Wide, foppy hats give rural air which
can be affected at no other season.
Leghorns are very enchanting on
youthful heads; but the very coarse
straws now In vogue are a godsendIto

Bonnets are much appreciated for

nets are made Of gold plat, or spangled

with quantities Of yiolets. The hair is
much waved beneath them. The bon

savaEes and Cultured Women Wear

There are, it is said, certain savages
just barely human beings-called
Dyaks. They have become famous to
the world as "head-hunters." These
Dyaks creep through miles of forest
paths and kill as many as they can Of
another lot of people, and then cut off
the heads of the slain and dry them,
and hang them up, arranged on lines
more or less artistically festooned
about the place in which they live.
This exhibition Of dried and dead hui
man heads seems to make these swart
and murderous savages vain and glad.
These people are, as we understand, or
think we understand, but undeveloped,
cruel. bloody-minded human creatures.
They prefer the dry human heads to
delicate ferns showing wonderful out
lines, or to brilliant leaves and fragrant
flowers. They have their own ideas
concerning decoration.
Upon q dozen or two Of the islands in
the southern Pacific, where the waves lap
the sloping sands lazily, and life should
be calm and peaceful, there are, or were
until lately, certain people who occa-
sion killed certain other people for rea-
sons sufficiently good, no doubt, to
them, and who thus coming into posses
sionally killed certain other people for
reasons sufficiently good, no doubt, TO
fingers Of these dead, when dried, would
make most artistic, not to say sug-

dried fingers upon something strong

pride.

RESTORING FURNITURE.
Treatment of Wood Surfaces That Are
MARRIED.

Treatment of Wood Surfaces That Arc
Married.
After housekeeping is over there are
always some sets of wood furniture that
need restoration. The various patent
restorers and polishes for sale are ex-
pensive and not always trustworthy
A perfectly safe 'reviver" for polished
furniture consists of the best UNI
boiled linseed oil and spirits of
turpentine in proportion of one
part oil to two of turpentine. Dust
the furniture thoroughly, using
brush of bristle to dust carved
work. When the furniture is clean APP
ply the reviver with flannel cloth.
Wipe off the wood and then polish 1t
with hard pad made Of cotton cloth.
A small block of wood enveloped in rolls
of cotton cloth, with leather strap
attached to it at the back for handle,
makes a firm. convenient polisher which
does the work we'll A rather stiff brush
| of bristle must be used to polish carved
work. Polish the wood thoroughly. 1t
requires time, but there is no easier
method of accomplishing the work.
Dents and scratches soon lose their
prominence after thorough rubbing
of this kind.
When the polished surface of furni-
ture is so badly defaced that 1t needs
renewing different treatment must be
given 1t. Get little Of the best she,lac
and touch the deep dents lightly. so
as to fill them up, and when the shellac
dries polish the furniture down with
powdered pumice-stone and raw lin
seed oil. Sometimes little shellac and
oil is used at first to polish with. The
shellac is used in this case to gradual
ly fill up the defaced portion OF the Old
polish of the wood.
Where the surface of the polish on
wood Is network of cracks it must be
all removed. This is difficult process
and one which ought to be done care
fully. Experienced wood-polishers
prefer to scrape wood with glass edge
rather than use steel, because it is not
so easy then to ssrape the wood. while
removing the polish. After thoroughly
scraping the old polish off. sandpaper
the wood until It is smooth and apply at
least four coats of shellac. Use orange

shellac on light wood. Leave space OF
"a hours between the coats Of shellac.

PoIiteness I'D Homo.

In family life do not let familiarity
