HERE AND THERE.

If person will take the trouble to
investigate the matter he will find that
the prosperous and successful farmer
is the educated farmer.
Small troubles are as troublesome
to small minds as large troubles to great
minds. Many man has lain awake o
nights because of the fear that mouse
would gnaw into his grain bin.
Standard points are what count in
the show room, but if eggs are what
are wanted, hatch from the best layers
and let standard points take care of
themselves.
If there Is any profit at all Il is
from cows which are we'll bred and
well fed, and it is folly to try toxun a
herd of mixers on any other basis.
Like the early spring chicken, the
early fall chicken is the most desir-
able. 1t has the longest growing
season, and so gets in the best condi-
ton to stand the cold season and to
reach early maturity.

others that needs attention just now it

The poultry house should be
cleaned at least once a week, and in
hot summer weather twice a week is
not too often. If dust has been saved
for the purpose, sprinkle well with it
after cleaning. Kerosene on roosting
poles is also good to drive away insect
pests.
For real usefulness the little toad
is certainly useful adjunct to the live
stock of the farni, and if people would

best thing they can do Is to get on
friendly terms with this little creature,

HER LAST ACE.

She Played Ii Courageously, But IL
Was Taken with the Rest.
20, Myrtilla, l am just SO glad you
eame in. l have so much to tell you.
What do you think? You'd never
guess. Reggie called last night"
'Who?"
Reggie = Reggie Highfiier. Why,
he's been calling on me for long time
now"
"why, how funny. So he has on
me-"
'Yes, yes; he told me all about that.
Well, as l was just going to say, Reg

IL o'clock, after we had sat looking at
one another for about couple of
hours without saying word, what
does he do but fall plump upon
his knees-just as it is described in
novels, you know-and proposed to
me. o, Myrtilla, il was Just heavenly

been around SO as to see it.
"He put his hand upon his heart and
vowed that if banished him from my
presence life hereafter would be to him
one long, dreary dream, and all that
kind of thing, you know. And he said
he laid his whole future career at my
feet-and-and that he worshiped the
very ground upon which l trod. /
never imagined that he was capable of
such flights of eloquence before. He
just worked upon my feelings so that l
had to accept him. 1t would have been.
just barbarous to refuse such a wooer.r
"Gwendolin Jane Green! You don't
mean to tell me that you positively ac-
cepted Reginald Highfiier last night.
Why, he proposed to me the very night
before, and l rejected him."
20, yes, he told me all about it, dear.
Hewas only practicing with you before
hand, you see, so as to run no danger
of forgetting anything when it came to
my turn. The darling boy confessed to
me that he was horribly frightened for
fear that you would accept him. And
think he was running risk myself"

Certain spiritual performances, to
which the narrator could testify. were
being related by an enthusiastic be-
lever to skeptic. Among other
things, he said that on one occasion the
spirit of his wife, who had been dead
several years, returned to him, and,
seating herself upon his knee, put her
arms around him and kissed him, much
to his qualification, as she used to dc
when living.
"You do not mean to say remarked

WASHING a ZINE Arr.

Washing pretty summer gowns and
belongings is a fine art, very easy to
learn. A bright day, plenty of water
and . little pure soap are the necessary
aids in the work. To do it, fill a tub
two-thirds full of warm water, dissolve
cake of Ivory soap (which win not
fade the most delicate colors), add it
to the water, wash the garments care
fully through it; rinse first in clear wa
ter, then in bluewater; wiring, dip in
thin starch; hang on the line in the
shade. When dry sprinkle and iron on
the wrong side. Gowns thus laun-
dered will look fresh for the entire
summer.

Little Things That the Housekecp-

White daisies with their golden cen
:ers and scarlet peoples were a delight
full combination for luncheon table
decoration recently. The flowers, loose
" arranged in cut glass vases, and lit
tie fancy grasses mingled with them,
made simple, but exceedingly grace
full and attractive decoration.
1t is often necessary, owing to fear of
the brushes being improperly dried
when away from home, that these
should not be put into water. They
then may be thoroughly cleansed with
-four. Have the -four perfectly dry and
plentifully rub it into the bristles. Let
the brushes stand for an hour or longer,
then shake the dust out on an old tray
or newspaper, after which use clean
comb, running it briskly through the
bristles as if combing them out. A
second rubbing of the bristles with pull
verified magnesia before the combing,
If the bristles are very much discolored,
may be used. This will be found a most
effectual mode of cleansing bristles.
An old housekeeper says the cleanest
and best dishwasher is round whisx

hot water through it; after which hang

An expert gasfitter contends that the
blackening of ceilings above gaslights
is not always due to poor gas. Ceilings
are blackened because the gas burners
are worn out" he says. "rhey cost a
trifiing sum, and should be often re-
placed by new ones"
The practice of wrapping each loaf of
bread in oiled papers when it is taken
from the oven and sealing the knot of
the string holding the paper, as is done
in few first-class shops on the other
side, is desirable for protecting bread
when the loaf has to be handled many
times in the process of delivery. The
bread is protected from dust and
handling as well as the possibility OF
bacilli, and the paper prevents the
moisture in the bread from escaping
and keeps the bread fresh.
A portiere that has bright colors OF
something else striking about it is most
effective in hallway, or where little or
no sunlight comes. An inexpensive but
desirable portiere may be made of bur-
lap. Make a 12-inch trimming or
border a little distance from the top of
the hanging and the second border half
yard from the bottom. Make this
border by pulling out half dozen Of
the strands across the material, leaving
u space and pulling out half dozen
more. Repeat this until the width OF
border desired is obtained. With diff.
ferently colored woods buttonhole each
edge of the threads with irregular
stitches, fasten the threads together in
little clusters with couple of stitches
with the wool, letting it run from one
cluster to the next. Bright beads and
sequins strung upon the woods and
fastened in, hit and miss, add much to
the appearance of the hanging, giving
it quite an oriental look.-N. Sun.
