Manton cape illustrated In the large
drawing owes its inspiration to the
Directoire. as is shown by the big
pointed revers, but in common with
most revivals includes features that
are all its own. The material from
which the original is made Is black
taffeta with applique of cream point
de venise and ties Of white chiffon,
and is lined with white satin; but peau
de sole or lightweight cloth can be
substituted with perfect correctness.
The under or foundation cape is
dart-fitted and extends well over the
shoulders and is trimmed with the
four tiny bias frills. The outer cape
Is shorter and plain about the edge
and is trimmed with the lace applique
only; while the big revers turn back
and are faced with the lace and edged
with single frill. At the neck is
deep turnover collar that meets the
revers, to which the chiffon ties are
attached. If palmer effect is de-
sired the outer cape can be omitted.

A hunter, while exploring in Borneo.
shot large baboon at a spring some
distance from camp. So says an eX-
change, which proceeds to relate the
dangerous result of the shot.
The animal fell with sharp cry,
and Immediately another baboon came
in sight and gave loud yell. When
the hunter was preparing to shoot the
newcomer, a small army of balloons
appeared. and the hunter realized that
he was in danger of being torn to
pieces.
One full-grown baboon Is easily n
match for man, and hundred are
to be dreaded more than as many
wolves. The hunter promptly took to
his heels, win the balloons after him.
Occasionally he paused and shot the
nearest one, but he would have been

Food Consumptlon and Eggs.

From careful test It has been shown
that the largest egg production Is al.
ways during the period of greatest
food consumption, and the smallest
egg yield was when the food consump.
tlon was least. This invariably proves
the case, so that one can depend upon
the truth of 1t. The amount of food
to its quality. One may make the ia.
tlon so fattening that the hens will be.
come too fat for egg laying, but with
reasonable diet the egg production
will be in direct proportion to the
amount of food fed and eaten. This
means, of course, that the hens are
able to digest and assimilate food, and
not waste 1t. The feed should be
given only in such quantities and times
as needed, and when the hens will eat
It up clean, leaving no waste at all be-
hind.
There are several things to consider
which will help to stimulate the food
consumption so that direct ratio will
be held between the amount eaten and
the number of eggs produced. One Of
these Is daily exercise. The hens must
receive exercise daily to keep them in
good condition. They cannot eat, dl-
gest and assimilate a heavy diet un.
less they receive exercise In proportion
to the food. When stuffed with food
for fattenlng, chickens and capons can
for a few weeks eat a heavy diet with
out exercise, but II this was kept up
for any great length of time the birds
would sicken and die. Tney could not
continue the process without causing
trouble in the digestive organs. In
feeding for eggs the process must lie
kept up indefinitely. Experiments
have shown also that hens exercised
will eat from two to FIVE per cent.
more food daily than those not exer-
cised. These same hens will also lay
from five to ten per cent. more eggs.
Next to exercise is the selection Of
latitude offered to the beginner, and
really every one must find out the So
luton for herself. Begin by feeding a
mixed diet of such foods that are the
readiest at hand and the cheapest to
obtain. Sometimes one Is located so
that wheat screenings are about as
cheap as anything, and nothing stim-
ulates the birds to laying more than
these screenings. Wheat is far ahead
of corn for egg production, and Is
should be made the most of at all
times. Green things from the garden,
scraps from the table, and the refuse
from mills all make varied diet that
will give the best results for the least
possible outlay of funds. = Anne O.
