BIRDS AND MEN AS HOME BUILD

There is a good deal in common be-
tween birds and men in the matter of
building their homes. Man, the barba-
rian, a flesh eater, nay be compared to
the flesh eating bird. The man lives in
a dugout, a tepee or a wickiup, few
poles thrown together, just as the eagle
the crow, the hawk and the buzzard
build their nests, with no art or sense
of architectural beauty, with bones,
feathers and skins befouling the nest
and the mans home Then we have the
sparrow, the crow blackbird and 9th
ers of the gregarious and granivorous
birds building nests warm and coy
within, but uncouth masses of litter
outside, these representing many OF
the pioneer homes or the shacks OF
shanty town in some of our cities.
where good large families are raised
at a minimum of expense. 1t will be
noted that in these classes of both
birds and men there is very little beau
ty of plumage, no gift of song and an
absence of refinement and culture. Just
as the man evolving from these condi-
tons reaches higher plane of deyel
opment and evidences it in the better
home which he builds for himself to
live in and blends into such home his
sense of art, beauty and refinement so
we find that birds less gross in their
tastes mingle beauty of plumage and
sweetness of song and invariably
weave into their homes some part Of
their bird sense of the beautiful and
artistic, evidenced by the enduring
masonry of the robins and the swal
lows nests, the dainty creations of the
bobolink, the oriole, the wild canary
and many others whose homes are bird
poems in architecture We wish that
we might carry this analogy still fur
Their and be able to say that the mans
home was as sacredly protected and the
good mother and little folk as well
cared for as in the bird home, but here
we fail, regretting that the individuals
of these lower orders of creation are
ever more kind, loyal and regardful OF
their marital and domestic duties than
is man, the lord of them all.

Eugenie,s outings.

The ex-Empress Engenie, now a tall.
pale, old woman, with drawn eyelids
and sad mouth, is not an unfamiliar
figure in some of the more important
London shops, though as rule those
who stand near her in the Catholic
bookstores, where she is often SEEN
little dream of her identity. In her
sable mourning robe she passes only as
a woman of personal distinction. Even
in Paris she strolls through the public
gardens, once her private pleasure
grounds, or rides in her simple car
riage through the Champs Elysees all
unnoticed by the crowd. A very few
remember the features of the once radi-
ant empress sufficiently to recognize
her now.
1t is said that during a morning walk
through the Tuileries gardens not long
ago she stopped and picked flower,
forgetting in her reverie that she was
not still the empress. and as result
was severely reprimanded by the
guard, a reprimand which she took UNI
fiinchingly.Ch Chicago Record.

But how fitting that the people for

the erection of a monument in Homo

The Twentieth Century Girl.

In an address delivered few days
ago before the West End Women's
club of Chicago, on "The Outlook for
the Twentieth Century Girl" Mrs.
Margaret Sangster said among other
things:
"The woman of the twentieth cen
fury is going to be the most beautiful
woman that has ever lived. Great
beauty comes from perfect health, and
woman is going to be healthy because
she will eat wholesome food, take
plenty of exercise and wear sensible
clothes. Tight laclng will become a
relic of the past and the comfortable
golf skirt and loose dress will be in
favor.
"There is popular sentiment now
in favor of women becoming self sup
porting, and it is commendable one.
1t is a great thing for woman to be
Independent, but 1t Is only the second
best thing. The best thing Is to have
a home of ones own to look after.
But do not believe in early marriages.
l don't think girl ought to get mar
ried before she Is % years old. After
she has come out of school she should
enjoy n period of intimate home life
with her parents. She should learn all
the details of housekeeping and learn
them WELL And let me tell you right
now that a bright girl can really learn
almost everything about housekeeping
in six weeks.
'Not only is the woman of the TWEEN
tieth century going to be beautiful her
self, but she is going to wear beautiful
clothes. She is going to have the pref
test gowns that have ever been seen.
1t need not follow that her dresses will
be extravagant and that she is going
to ruin her husband by her extrava-
gance, for that is far from my mean
ing. But her clothes are going to be
dainty and artistic"

The Rev. DIR. -, a prominent cler-
gyman, relates with much gusto the
following story about himself. His
present wife, by the way, is not the
wife Of his youth nor yet of his early
manhood, but the lady of his third
choice, and as consequence the doc

divers maternal ancestry.
"Such condition of affairs" said
the doctor, might at times become
embarrassing except for the thorough
amiability of all concerned. l confess,
however, to a slightly disconnected
feeling when shortly before my third

called my second wife mother, with

An "Antitrnilingv Increment.

Emphatic disapproval of the trailing
skirt has been heard in recent years
from various quarters, but only within
the past few months has any organized
and definite action been taken to dis
courage or suppress this unhealthful
and offensive fashion. An antltraiiing
league has been formed in London,
numbering among its members several
highborn danes and leaders of fash
ion in the English metropolis. One of
these, the Princess Reuss, writes to the
London newspapers to say that she
will do all she can toward forming
such league in Germany, her native
country, and will be only too pleased to
lend her support to one started in Eng
absurd and disgusting proceeding to
perform the duties of crossing sweep
err minus salary" The Rational Dress
league of London is devoting its ener-
gies to the furtherance of this particu-
lar reform. At one of its recent meet
ings Lady Harberton delivered an adj
dress on the sinfulness of wearing the
''filthy, trailing skirt" Most of the
audience were quite of Lady Harber-
toms opinion about the skirt. The lee
turer's own garments We're not vo-
luminous, but her lecture covered a
wide range of subjects, beginning with
trailing skirts and going on to the vio-
lation of the laws of temperance. Lady
Harberton proved conclusively that the
act of wearing q trailing skirt amount
ed to intemperance because ii Interior
ed with the natural bodily functions
One had no more right, she said, to ask
a woman to wear a skirt than to ex-
pect man to walk about in his dress
ing gown.
In our own country the protest against
the long skirt has assumed form even
more practical and effective than in
England. The Connecticut state board
of health has placed the seal of its Off
cial disapproyal upon the practice of
wearing long skirts on the streets and
has at the same time expressly COM
mended the use of short skirts. DR..
Lindsey of the state board, in discuss
ing the matter, recently said that it
was ''really disgusting to see how care
less women are in gathering up the
filth from the sidewalks upon their
gowns" Miles of filthy sidewalks and
pavements are swept in this manner,
said DR.. Lindsey, and afterward this
collection of filth is brushed off or left
to dry in closets or rooms at home or

LONG RANGE WEATHER FORE
CASTS

The ability to forecast weather con-
ditions year, six months, three
months or even 30 days ahead correct
ly would be worth millions to the
country at large could it only be done.
But ii cant. Some secrets Omniscience
guards from man, and this is one of
them. The latent and Unborn supersti-
ton of man tempts him to accept the
dictum of some old fakir who. after
consulting deck of Sards and the
stars, boldly prophesies thunderstorms
and cyclones in June and billiards. in
January a year ahead, gravely inter-
preting stellar conjunetions and lunar
changes as promoters of seismic dis
turbances, floods and droughts. And
the suckers pay their money and be
lieve his prophetic rot What man
shall come to know about climatic
changes he will find out by the aid of
science and not superstition. The
weather forecasts made by the govern
ment under the care of skilled scien-
lists, limited though these forecasts be
in their range, are the only reliable
weather forecasts to be had.

COTTON NOT KILLED
Ii Is Believed That the Re-
cent Cold and Wind Did
Material Damage.

While it was the almost universal
opinion Saturday that the cold wealth
er and heavy winds had killed the en-
tire cotton crop of the county, it is
row said that the damage is not near
as great as was at first believed. Much
of the Gotten, however, was bruised
and injured by the wind, which blew
steadily for three days, but few days
of warm sunshine will restore its yigor
and start it to growing again Only a
few of the farmers, it is said, will
tnd it necessary to plant again. They
were all alarmed, however. and it is
reported that one bought 200 bushels OF
seed Saturday at so cents per bushel.
The lowest point the thermometer
reached was 40, and there was nc
freeze during the cold spell.
In north Georgia, however, there
was considerable rain, snow and sleet
and much damage was done. The
storm was particularly severe through
out Tennessee, Kentuckr, Virginia
West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New York, and the destruction
was rgreat At Pittsburg the river
