His Prize.

Commodore Chauncey, during the
war of 1912, commanded for TINA the
fleet on Lake Ontario, and had thu ex-
tremc i'll fortune of never during that
Period exchanging hostile shot with
the enemy. There were great many
uncharitable enough to blame the
commodore for this, believing that he
was rather ANXIOUS that this should
be the case. Some time after the war,
lie was placed in charge of the navy
yard, and one day caught youngster
with basket, gathering chips. Walk
ing up to him he snatched the basket
and roughly ordered him to leave the
premises while he confscated the
basket for the owners presumption of
entering forbidden ground. The lit
tie fellow backed away until assured
that he was beyond danger, when he
called out: keep the basket if you
want. It's the only prize you ever
took!"-Detroit Free Press.

little more than half as many.
In the former case, four little over
skirts are made separately and put on
the same band. In the latter founda-
ton skirt of silk or imitation silk is
made and the miniature skirts sewed
upon it, each overlapping the other
enough to hide the heading so that
separate effect is maintained. The skirt
has an abbreviated train and slightly
sweeps the ground all around. There
are no gathers nor plaits at the back
and the opening is made upon the side
to preserve an unbroken beauty of out
line. Any bodice can be worn with the
four-pieced skirt, and it is particularly
dressy with the novel new silk waists
that are so much the vogue.

SONGBIRDS FOR FOOD.
Thousands of Robins Shot livery Fall
for the MOrsel of Meat on Their
Tiny Breasts.

I'm November the robins in focks of
hundreds make their way into the gar
dens of towns, as well as into the parks
and fields and orchards about the bay

and the morsel of meat on their
breasts, says John Muir in the Atlantic
Man then seems a beast of prey, pray
as he may. Not even genuine piety can
make the robin-killer quite respect

ter days in the bay region. Then the
city pot-hunters, good and bad, with
ragtag of boys, go forth to kill, kept
in countenance by sprinkling of regu-
lar sportsmen arrayed in self-conscious
majesty and leggings, leading dogs and
carrying hammerless, breech-loading
guns of famous makers. Over the fine
landscapes the killing goes forward
with shameful enthusiasm. After es-
Gaping countless dangers, thousands
fall, big bagfuls are gathered, many
are left wounded to die slowly, no Red
Cross society to help them. Next day.
Sunday, the blood and leggings vanish
from the most devout of the bird butch

gold-headed canes instead of guns.

Nuts an a Popular Food.

Nuts have often been considered to
be very indigestible, but doubtless
much of this prejudice against them
comes from the fact that they are very
rarely properly masticated. They are
rich in nutritive elements, and we know
of no reason why they should not be a
healthful article of food if properly
prepared. They should be masticated
very thoroughly, and oftentimes if
they were baked and aground into a
meal they would be used to much
greater advantage. We believe that
they would be a useful article of diet
il prepared in this way and judiciously
used with other lines of diet. ,'.1

A Boston Romance.

There stands in suburb of Boston,
U. S., house, the doors and win
dows of which are nailed up and
have not been opened for upward of
so years. The story is sad one. The
house was built by young man who
intended to take his bride home to it.
His capital was not sufficient, and he
mortgaged the house as he built it,
purposing, as his means increased, to
gradually pay off the sum borrowed.
The intended bride was aware of the
arrangement, and fully acquiesced in
it. When the wedding day was ap-
pointed, the trousseau ready, and the
house finished, he took the lady out
from Boston to inspect it. After 60
ing over the house he presented her
with the title deed. Knowing his cir
cumstances, she was astonished that
he had actually paid for it. He ex-
planned that, after buying a ticket in
lottery, he had drawn the first prize,
which just covered the cost of the
house. The young lady protested that
she would not take home obtained by
gambling, and refused the deed. His
arguments were of no avail. She re-
manned obdurate. When they left the
house he locked the door and threw
the key into the brook near by. The
next day he boarded up the windows,
and only spiders and mice have ever
occupied it. The man never married.;
he became wealthy, but is a'wanderer
on the face of the earth. The lady
lever married; she Is still living, poor
and an invalld.-Modern Society.
