drops of gum arabic in the water to
restore the crispness.
Hair brushes can be kept as clean
as a comb, but require care. The han
dies and back should be wet as little as
possible, never laying a wet brush
down on the back. Once week, at
least, the brush should be dipped into
a solution made of one quart of hot
water and a lump of soda as big as a
walnut, or a tablespoonful of cloudy
ammonia. Dip the brush in and out
until it looks clean, then rinse well and
shake out well, placing the bristles
down to dry.
The untidy spots left on window
panes by paint or putty may be re-
moved by wetting the glass several
times with a strong solution of soda,

Many a modest, unselfish girl who
does not regard herself as remarkable
either in mind, appearance or manner,
asks, Where is there place for girl

who cannot play or paint or sing, can
not permit herself to write an essay
for literary club, and has no ability
for leadership" writes Mary r. Bald
win, in the Woman's Home Compan
ion, of 1.-The Girl Without Great Gifts"
For such one the history of an
everyday girl who met fulfillment and
wrought from common material won
derful life-fabric may be offered. She
was the plainest of family, and a
she grew to maidenhood gave no sign
of possessing anything that would not
seem possible to the most ordinary per
son. Her sisters had each gift But
nobody expected anything great from
Miss Margaret and she never dared
to hope that she could fill any place OF
Importance even in the smallest circle.
AS is often the case with the incon-
spicuous girl of the family, she became
a general -clper, and was called to
assist and to I'll gaps in the home
service She learned through all this
to get away from herself, and. in eff
feet, said: 1 cannot do this, but my
sister can AS soon as she could ac-
cept this she was no longer a lonely
girl, but imagined that she had a sort
of partnership in the achievements of
those whom she helped. Let it not be
imagined that she had never expe-
rienced a regret that she had herself
been overlooked in the distribution OF
gifts; there were bitter moments when
she suffered on account of the fact, but
this was before she had given herself
wholly to the purpose of forgetting her
loss and helping others. AS soon as
this became fact she began to receive
of the blessedness of giving. and the
mental and spiritual enlargement of
her comparative worked itself out
wardly, so that she became a very at

before whom many hearts bowed in

A writer in the British Dairy Fam
CT says:
The steady growth in our imports OF
dairy produce IS largely attributable 70
the circumstance that the bovine popu-
lation OF Great Britain is increasing al
less rapid rate than the human pop
ulation, the result being that the home
sources Of supply do not keep pace
with the demand. This is very clearly
shown in table which Major Craigie

portion OF each OF these per 1.00e per-

Corsets Must Go.

The decree has gone forth from Paris
and the will of the modistes of that
city is law the world over-that the
corset must be consigned to the rag
bag. The Parisiennes have discovered
what many other people knew score
of years ago, that if a dress is nodded
to the form and very stiff1y bOned the
necessity for corset is removed and
the effect is infinitely better. There
seems small cause for rejoicing among
dress reformers and physicians, how
ever, over this change in the spirit OF
femininity's dreams, for it will be only
q transfer of the compression from one
article to another, not a doing away
of it altogether. There is also rumor
afioat that the eel skirt is about TO
sink into oblivion; another rumor de-
clares that the princess style is to be
more than ever popular this fall and
that one of the most fashionable wom-
en- has just ordered one of these gowns
made of silk jersey cloth of a mode
tint and trimmed with ecru Irish lace.
Everyone who knows how jersey cloth
hts. how it clings to each curve and
line. will realize that the end of the eel
skirt. becoming or unbecoming is not
yet. In fact, no princess gown but has
a tight-fitting skirt, and so, while
wider ones may be introduced, the
chances are that the other will have
following among the willowy girls. for
whom it has unlimited fascination.

From Farmers Review: = What
( profit is there in turkeys? is the thing
that farm wives want TO know, as well
. as the different methods OF rearing and
: fattening them We held ours until
time for the Xmas trade. which with
US closes near the 18th OF December
We only received IA cents per pound
last year, and considering their age,
they weighed well. If one doesn't
count their time and bother, all the
flock brings is profit except the cost
of the corn for fattening. for if the
turks are allowed their liberty they
will pick up most of their living, ex-
cept that. One needs to begin fatten-
ing at least four weeks before market
ing, and six is better. Unless your
turks are early it is better to not try
to fit them for the Thanksgiving mar
ket, keep them for the holiday trade.
or even later. One Missouri grower
cuts the wing and tail feathers of her
poults on about half when they are
small Not for the reason given by
some Leghorn breeders that their
growth weakens the young, but be-
cause they drag the poult down by
being so heavy, and also get wet and
draggled. Why should clipping the
feathers help the cause as far as weak

feathers have to grow again just the
same. 1t is very necessary 10 keep

NO stop the erowth Of Horn..

Is there anything that will stop the
growth OF horns on cattle? II so.
where can it be gotten and when
should it be applied? This question
is frequently asked and TO il we make
the following answer. says Rural
World: At any drug store one can buy
either caustie potash or caustic silver
(luna caustic), which, when applied TO
the nubs of horns on young calves, will
stop all growth of the horns. II is
usually advised 10 wrap the stick
caustic with paper 10 prevent its burn
ing the fingers while handling, then
rub the little knob where the horn is
to appear with an exposed end of the
stick II the knobs are cleansed with
soap and water TO remove all animal
grease, the eaustie will be more effec-
tive A little grease rubbed around
the base of the knob viii prevent the
caustic from burning where il ought
not TO. Another method of applying
is 10 put the caustic in a phial with
large mouth and put in little water
just enough to dissolve the caustic-
Then lit wooden stopper of soft wood
with lower end long enough TO reach
the bottom OF the phial With this
the liquid caustic can be applied a
few drops at time to the knobs. with
no danger OF burning the fingers or
getting too much on the calf 1t should
be applied before the horns get start
ed. say when the calf is week old
Properly one application will kill the
horns Carelessly applied one may sue
coed in killing one horn while the
other will grow. and thus make a
more unsightly head than if both had
been allowed 20 grow.

A California girl, Anna Elizabeth

Rosa Bonheur, the famous painter of ami

Frenchwoman. During the last two years
of the latter's life Miss Klumpke was her
constant companion at the Chateau de BY.

haunt Of landscape painters. About the

That Rosa Bonheur was an admirer OF
Miss Klumpke's ability as an artist was

PAwNsHOPS IN GERMANY.

From the Denver POST.
Among the reports recently sent into the
state department is one from our consular
official in Cologne, Germany, on the subject
of pawnshops as conducted there. Two
kinds are mentioned-the regular pawn
shop and those that conduct a so-called
repurchase business, whose object is to buy
portable property, guaranteeing to the de-
positors the right of repurchase within a
fixed tire. The two kinds differ in legal
character, but serve the same economic
purpose. Originally. the pawnshops in
Germany were public undertakings. con-
Quoted by the state or the municipality.
Some of these state Institutions are yet in
existence in different parts of Germany.
The report names a number of cities
which maintain pawnshops for the benefit
of their inhabitants and states that, on the
whole. the number of these municipal in
situations is larger in Germany than in
France, but not as large as in Belgium
