In making a choice of flowers for an
entertainment the color scheme of ones
rooms should be first taken into account
and only such varieties of flowers used
as will tremendously blend with it.
a red dining room is effectively deco
rated with American Beauty roses or the
ordinary red roses, or, if one cannot af
ford such expense, red carnations may be
substituted. The candle shades. cakes,
bonbons, ices, etc, can easily be made to
carry out the color scheme.
When asked us to what flowers he sold
the most of for decorating purposes Mt
night, fashionable florist replied that he
had orders for all kinds, with the posi-
bic exception Of yiolets. These dainty lit
tie flowers should only be used for lunch
cons or other functions in the daytime,
as they are too somber by artificial light.

Padding the Census.

The Philadelphia Becord says:
The Maryland census enumera,
tor whose padding of returns was
recently discovered by the Cen
sus Bureau officials has managed
to squeeze in 600 fraudulent
names in a total of 1900. 1t is
fortunate for the bureau that this
sort of thing was not epidemic
among the "A 600 enumeratorS
who numbered the people. The
margin of inaccuracy would have
been in that event altogether too
vast and confusing.

trivial affections, perfectly durable in
their beginnings, may lead in an incredi-
bly, short time to permanent impairment
of vision or even to total blindness The
care of the eyes should begin with the
moment of birth. The new baby's eyes
should be the first part to receive atten

a piece of absorbent cotton wet with
a warm solution of boric acid of a
strength of about 90 grains in four ounces
of distilled water After the lids have
been thus carefully washed on the outside
they should be gently separated and some
of the solution dropped into the eyes.
In washing the eyes one should be care

A fresh piece must be taken each time

The baby's eyes must be protected from

the eyes are not exposed TO the full light

have a shade raised only about a foot

Conjunctivitis. or inflammation of the

may be due to a cold to the action OF

when the trouble cannot be permanently
cured until proper glasses are worn.
Another painful consequence of eye
strain is n succession of sites. When q

MISS ROBERTA M. SHAW.

This business she resigned to enter the
employ of the Wisconsin and Michigan
railway and rose to confidential posi-
ton in the presidents office. On the reor
ganization of that company she became
the treasurer of the Wisconsin and Michi
gan Railway company. Even in these
days when women are doing so many
things that have hitherto been considered
the peculiar field of men a woman treas
urer of an important railroad company is
quite unique. The fact that she has risen
to the position from subordinate posts
where her superiors had a chance to
gauge her ability shows that she must
have unusual aptitude for the work.

For the average farmer who wishes
to grow supply of good fodder for his
dairy cows there is probably nothing
better than to sow corn at the rate of
about buShcl to the acre along the
last of June and then cut it with har-
veSter or corn binder if Sown in drills,
cure it well in the shock and later put
in the barn or stack. This is a better
crop than millct or sorghum, SO far as
the feed is concerned. and is more cas-
lily and satisfactorily handled. Five
acres of such corn if planted on good
land will easily yield 20 tons of very
choice fodder

Nearly all of the great beauties of the
world have testified to the value of
sleep. Under its influence every muscle
is relaxed and all care dispelcd The
heart beats slower, gaining new vigor for
the waking hours. A midday nap, if only
of a few minutes duration, is WONDERFUL
ly refreshing. and it is generally conceded
that sleep during the earlier hours of the
night is far more beneficial than that OBJ

When her children were in their Short
frock and knickerbocker days, the queen
made them write little daily diary Of
their doings, which she passed upon
nightly in the royal nursery. Often tbe
youngsters were hard up for copy" and
used to appeal for help to members
of the household. They repaid their
helpers by giving them sketches made by
themselves, which differed in no wav
from the dogs and horses and houses Of
the ordinary child. One of the house

of these alleged drawings, and not long

SCAFFOLO POLES TO HIRE.
One of Various Interesting Features
of the Pole Yard business
"Scaffold Poles to Hire

''Scaffold Poles to Hire
So read n sign painted on the end Of
building standing in pole yard, and
man whose eye CHANGED 10 fall upon it
wondered just what it meant. He had
heard of renting steam boilers and pianos
and horses and railroad cars and so on,
and he knew that there is scarcely any
thing, perhaps nothing, that cannot be
rented, but he had never heard before of
renting scaffold poles, and it seemed an
odd thing to do.
AS a matter of fact there are lots of
scaffold poles rented 1t is an old and
to those who have occasion to know
about it familiar branch of the pole yard
business
Scaffold poles are rented, of course most
largely TO builders, and there are more
builders who hire scafiold poles than
there are who own them. This for the
simple reason that it is for most build
ers cheaper to hire. The very largest
builders who must have yard anyway
in which to keep material and plant of
one sort and another own their own
scaffold poles and keep them when not
in use in their own yard where they have
The smaller builder, having very likely
no material yard, has no convenient place
to store poles when not in use, and he
hires poles, as for that matter some of
the larger builders do also.
Scatfold poles are let at so much for
a job, whether it is few days or weeks,
but while builder keeps the poles for
one price on one job as long as he may
need them he cannot if he gets through
with a job early haul the poles off TO set
up on another job without paying more
rent
The life Of a scarfold pole is about six
years. y pole yard man said that they
could be made to last ten years by care.
People always drive nails into scaffod
poles. These nails rust and the wood
around them rots and the pole gradually
goes to decay. If the poles were all
carefully overhaued and looked after
when they came back to the yard from
job and the nails all pulled out. they
would last four years longer, but this is
not done for the simple reason that it
wouldn't pay. The cost of the work
would be greater than the gain by it, an
so they use the poles as long as thpy are
fit to use and then chop them up.-New

each one the son or daughter of men

1t may be in place to say word
about a change of 500 grain at this
time. Few men rcaINt how much
they would be benefited by doing this.
If the farm is a clay soil, try some
wheat, oats and barley from a sandy
one, no matter if it is only few miles
to the sandy soil. Better yet, get the
seed from some sandy soil 100 or 200
miles to the north of you. If your farm
is sandy, get the grain grown on a clay
soil. Potatoes will show more improve
ment than almost any other crop by
this changing of seed. Nature works
on a law Of continual change, and it is
well to heed it.
