Edible Birds, Meats.

The nests Of the little swift "a kind

cliffs with SO much difficulty and yet
in such quantities on account Of the

salivary secretion which soon becomes
firm on exposure to the air. 1t is a
glutinous white substance with little
red dots. They are clean. the nests
being taken as soon as completed. The
little swift, being repeatedly robbed, is
at last compelled to exc out it's waning

Its eggs and hatch it's young. as only
nests free from foreign material are
merchantable.-"A Sketch Of the Phil

Never forget that women are made
out of girls and that men are made
out of boys; that if you are a worth
less girl you are worthless woman,
and if you are worthless boy you
will be worthless man. and the best
educated men and women once did not
know "a, B. c." that all the things
which you are learning had to be
learned by them ;-that the efforts spent
In making others happy will in some
way add to your own happiness; that a
life of usefulness and helpfulness is
worth many times more than a life Of
pleasure.

To feel within us the immortal fire;

NOVEL TEMPERANCE SCHEME,


now Manufacturer Secured "DKy"
Town In Indiana.
A manufacturer at Three Oaks. Ind,
has just inaugurated temperance re-
form in that town that is at once novel
and apparently practicable, says the
Cleveland Leader. This man, who has
several hundred employees, recently Of
fered to pay Into the village treasury
annually an amount equal to the H.
cense fees derived from the saloons II
the authorities would abolish the sa-
looms and make the town dry" II
the offer was refused he threatened to
remove his factory to another town.
The proposition was submitted to the
council and 1t In turn referred the mat
ter to the people at special election.
The result was an overwhelming VIC
tory for temperance. The saloons will
be closed. the village treasury will re-
reive the annual payment promised.
and the factory will not be removed.
Of course 1t is not dificult to under
stand why this manufacturer desired
the closing of the saloons. He prob
ably realized that he could get better
work from his employees II they were
always sober, and will doubtless dis
cover that the money paid for the
closing of the saloons Is well invested.

II the origin Of golf dates as far
back as some authorities claim, the
game Is not such recent importation
as most people seem to think. Curl.
ously enough, the earliest reference to
golf In America Is found, as 1t is in
Scotland. in bylaws prohibiting 1t as
being a public, nuisance. 1t certainly
must have been played In New York
state 240 years ago, for in hunting back
among the old ordinances Of the New
Netherlands colony, Josiah Newman of
New York city has discovered the fol-
lowing reference, which seems to place
the origin Of the gamo here beyond
question as early as 1859. It is rather
remarkable passage, and Is given here
in full: The w. commissary and COM
missaries of Fort Orange and village
of Beverwyck, having heard divers
complaints the burghers of this place,
against playing at golf along the
streets. which causes great damage to
the windows Of the houses and exposes
people to the danger Of being wound
ed. and Is contrary to the freedom OF
the public streets; therefore their wor-
ships, wishing to prevent the same, for
bid all persons playing golf on the
streets, on pain Of forfeiting f. 25 for
each person who Shall be found doins

CAIN Of the Montreal Golf club to
being the first. to introduce golt In
America.

There was an accident on Portland
ftreet the other day, and this is how it
happened: A tramp walking up the
street saw a benevolent-looking wheel
man riding down, and started to head
him off. Just then dog on the same
side of the street noticed a cat on
he opposite side and made for 1t. The
log didn't notice the tramp, and the
wheelman took no account of the dog.
The result was that the dog went be-
:ween the legs of the tramp and rolled
hat individual over on his back. The
wheelman struck dog and tramp and
:ook a header over them. The wheel
nan struck frantically at the dog and
ais blow landed on the nose Of the
ramp, while the dog made an assault
N the tramp. and, missing him, made
ife exciting for the wheelman. At
ast they untangied themselves and the
ramp and the wheeiman trailed bad
language one up and the other down
he street. while the dog stood and
rowled at both. Meanwhile the cat
.merged from q hole in the lumber
,ile where she had taken refuge and

waists are with us, and very smart
they are.
The silk ones are not as novel, how
ever, as the flannel waists. which are
to be had in excellent qualities OF
French flannel, in motor red, mauve,
white, golden-prow and black.
The new feature of the flannel waist
is that it is either tucked, hemstitched,
or embroidered in bands, both front
and back, very much on the order OF
the more elaborate linen waists, but
no yoke in the back, as that idea is
decidedly passe. Then there are the
new cotton corduroy shirt waists with
embroidered bosoms in contrasting
colors, or strips Of colored embroidery
down the front.
Those in white corduroy with bands
of red embroidery on the front are
very chic and especially we'll adapted
to cycling, golf and yachting costumes,
when worn with the new homespun
skirts and scarlet coats, with which
the world seems to be too abundantly
supplied just now.
For morning wear at the seashore,
on the links and in the mountains. the
red coat has simply played havoc with
every other style of jacket and swept
every thing before it--and it has evi'

Woman.s Gathered Skirt.

Embroidered swiss is daintily
trimmed with fine lawn embroidered
edging and insertion in the skirt
shown in the large engraving. The
skirt has straight lower edge and is
shaped with four breadths, which are
slightly gored to make less fulness at
the top. The lower edge is trimmed
with q narrow frill of embroidery,
headed by insertion, another row be-
ing placed two inches above. When
tucked or embroidered founcing is
used, the lower edge need not be cut
through, as the pattern may be pinned
on straight and the shaping made
above the decoration. The skirt is
gathered all around at the top. The
mode is especially adapted to span
gled and plain net crepe yelling and
all thin, clinging fabrics, the flare at
the foot being accentnated by the
fashionably Snapped petticoat worn
beneath.
To make the skirt in the medium
size will require six and one-half
yards Of thirty or thirty-six inch ma
terial.

4 story which illustrates the uses OF

grew beautifully and sent out a glori-
GUS foliage of dark-red leaves. with
deep red veins in them, which he ad-
mirsd very much. A tornado came ana
cut them off close to the ground. Tho
poor farmer was discouraged. It was
too late to plow up the field and plant
another crop. His whole spring labor
was wasted and gil his money was
gone. He decided that he would give
I'D farming, advertise his place for sale
and 20 back East to his wife's folks.
Before they had finished packing, how
ever, he noticed, new healthy shoots
coming from all the beets. and told his
wife he guessed they would better hold
ND awhile and see what happened. In
O few weeks the foliage was as fresn
and strong as before. so he hoed ouf
ths weeds with confidence Of getting
q good crop. When he dug up those
beets and took them to the sugar fac
tory that fall they were found to con-
tain more saccharine than any others
that were offered, and upon An invesu-
CATION at the experiment station 1t Yves
decided that their superiority was due
to the storm. From that time on beet
