The body of the trap illustrated be-
low is made of four pieces Of six inch
fencing boards 90 to "a inches long,
nailed together to make n narrow box
open at one end. The top piece should
be an inch shorter than the others.
Nail the bottom and top boards to the
side boards, thus making the perpen-
dicular length of the opening greater
than the horizontal. If the opening is
square the drop door does not work
properly. y sliding door is then made
to fit loosely in the open end and two

Der ever seeing Il woman with frosted
ears? We have reached the slope on the
other side of life. but u woman with a
Irostbitten ear we AVE seen not. The ar
chitects of woman hcaigear never build

the brevity of them precludes taking in
the ears unless they are extremely long,
and no matter how cold the weather. al
most every lady you see on the street will
face the most biting wind, while her ears
look like a danger signal on either eide of
her head. The only way we can account
for the phenomena is the wonderful warm
heart each one of these dear creatures
carries in her bosom. They are styled thu

As for the Black Spanish louis, they
