Single Beds For Real Rest.

If single beds were more numerous
than they are great many people
would be better off, When one is
tired, sick, cross, restless, out of sorts,
he or she ought to sleep alone and not
communicate by proximity the mall
aides that affect him. The brute crea-
lures when sick go away by them
selves till they die or get over their
troubles, and this instinct q great
many human beings have. Those that
have it are best if INDUCED in it, not
to the slightest degree of neglect, how
ever. Where two children in family
must share the same room in great
many cases they would be better off to
have two single beds rather than one
wide double bed. We can share a
great many things with those we love,
but solitude clings to us from birth to
death. We come into the world alone:
we must go out of it alone, and we
live in it alone, in a certain important
sense, and to get and keep our "bear-
lngs" we must sometimes be left alone.
1t is good that we should be.-Family
Doctor.

HedgehOrS.

Hedgehogs are very strong in the wa
ter, swimming with ease against
rapid stream, and with their muscular
claws they turn up the nests Of trout
or salmon and make a goodly haul
therefrom. They will breast very
rapid stream, and cold water, as near
the freezing point as may be, seems to
have no terror for them. The eggs Of
the salmonida are welcome prey to
nearly every animal that will face wa
ter. Aquatic birds, rats (both house
and water), hedgehogs, beetles and
their larvn, the so called fresh water
shrimp, are deadly foes.

corn and thought it better to put it
into cattle and as a consequence has as
fine bunch of feeders as man wants

Evening Gowns That Will Show the Full Measure of
the Seasons Extravaganza.

they be made of some of the pretty
cheaper materials or of the higher
priced stuffs. Such, for instance, is the
cut of the seasons skirts.
The smart gown this season must be
more clinging than ever in effect, and
this feature is emphasized in the new
form-fitting or serpentine skirt, an at
tractive example of which consists OF
a five-gored, closely-ftted upper por-
ton held back by elastic straps and
heightened by a rippled, graduated,
circular founce, and is further dis
tinguished by two long back cores
that may be plated or gathered at the
top. This skirt may be made with or
without the dip and in sweep or round
length. 1t is extremely effective when
developed in velvet or corduroy.
Street gowns are a prominent fea-
ture of every season, summer not ex-
cepted. For these there are three or
four distinct styles, from which it is
possible to select, and still be in keep
ing with the correct mode. There are
really short skirts-not rainy-day
skirts, either-but as fascinatingly
made and trimmed as any reception
gown. These are of rough cloths, of
velveteens and of corduroys, and are
made with blouse and fancy coats of
all kinds and also with three-quarter
coats. The skirts are plated, tucked
and trimmed; made with several
cores, or with attached founce, with
lines of braid or straps on every seam;
with insertions of heavy lace and cut

work; with narrow bands of velvet and
with rows of machine stitching.
To continue on this ever interesting
subject of skirts, let me mention the
distinguishing features of some of
those of the thin materials. Notice
able among the models of the class are
the five, eight and nine-gored gar
ments. These are often disguised by
the vertical tucking and plating so
much in evidence that the cores are
almost invisible
A pretty model without tucks has
three narrow bias ruffies around the
hem, and insertions of cross stitching
set in around the hips in yoke form,
each line turning at the back and ex-
tending down to the ruff1es. This NAV
be reversed, the long lines extend
ing down the front.
five-gored skirt may be arranged
very prettily in shallow box plaits all
around and stitched down to the
knee in the usual way. A band of en-
broidery, or lace, or a group of tucks
are pretty finish at the hem.
Skirts of six and eight cores have
seam directly in front, of course.
which is very good style for linen.
The seam is often joined with beading.
cross-stitching or partially hidden by
group of fine tucks at either side.
1t is biased a little, of course. and that
gives pretty fare to the skirt.
A design carried out in white yelling
shows pretty use of cross-stitches
around the waist and at the head of
the founce in points, covered partially
by guipure lace motifs A group of
fine tucks finish the hem and the collar
and cuffs are of lace
Still another model for yelling shows
cross-stitching between the plaits. at
the hem and on the bodice in combina-
ton with lace and embroidery. The
belt is stitched silk lace at either side
and finished in the points with motif
of embroidery.
A skirt model, which, because of its
simplicity, is especially good style for
white pongee, has slightly circular
founce with broad hem covered with
stitching. Above this is broad tuck
or fold arranged to look like a tuck
f1ounce with another broad hem, also
covered with stitching like the lower
one The bodice is in crosswise tucks
with a lace collar.
White pongee makes charming
summer gown over white taffeta in
some simple mode, such as a gored
skirt in vertical tucks down to the
knee, the fullness faring below with
a group of tucks, or lace insertion at
the head Of the hem, and the waist
simply tucked below yoke of hand
some lace. A girdle belt of stitched
white silk is sufficient, and the sleeves
are tucked and flowing a little below
the elbow, where they are finished with
lace and chiffon frill.

KILLS RATS WITH SPONGES.
A Minister-Druggist at Bayonne, N.
Y, Rids His Store of Rodents
by Novel Device.

Rev. S. J. Belts, pastor of the Peo-
pies Baptist church of Bayonne, N. Y,
has discovered brand new method
of destroying rats. There isn't any
patent on it, either. Anybody may
adopt it.
Mr. Belts is not only pastor, but a
druggist as well. In the basement of
his drug store there appeared some
time ago a small army of rats. The
dominic druggist couldn't understand
what attracted them, but there the
rats were and war of determination
was begun against them.
One day last week big ball-shaped
rat, with which agility seemed to be a
lost accom- plishment, was cornered and
killed. An autopsy was performed on
the body and it disclosed what was the
attraction in the basement or the rats
They were sponge eaters. This par
ticular rat had swallowed big piece

Seven PrincipaI Routes

1t is a well-known fact that the c., NJ
q st. T. Ry. system offers a great many
different routes between Chicago and ST.
Paul and Minneapolis. Its main line be-
tween those points is especially well known
as the route over which runs the famous
Pioneer Limited" and the Government
Fast Mail Train. There are six or seven
other routes over a number of which are
run through coaches and sleeping cars.
which are almost as direct as the principal
main line.
These various routes traverse the most
interesting and attractive sections of Hi
nols, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, in
Guiding the celebrated Lake Region of
Wisconsin, and cross the Wisconsin river
at the famous 'Dells," where is the most
picturesque scenery in the Northwest. The
main line and several others include from
$50 to 300 miles of romantic and picturesque
scenery along the Mississippi river On
these various lines are located the most i'm
portant towns and cities in the Northwest.
Both one way and special excursion tick
cts between Chicago, ST. Paul and Mime
apolis are honored via any one of these d.
rect lines.

cational Convention at Minneapolis will APP

Certainly the time remaining was
short enough. The fight still ragged
down at the gate in the pass, though
it was wonder how the handful of
priests had held their ground so
long. But the ocean rolled in upon
the land in an ever-increasing flood,
and the mountains smoked and
belched forth more volleys of rock
as the weight increased on their low
er parts, and presently those that

to see the fate that threatened them.
Then there would be no Withholding
their rush. In their mad fury and
panic they would sweep all obstruc-
ton resistlessly before them, and
those who stood in their path might
look to themselves.
But there was no hurrying Zaemon
and his fellow sage. They were
without temple for the ceremony,
without sacrifice or incense to deco
rate it. They had but the sky for
roof to make their echoes, and the
gods themselves for witness. But
they went through the work of rails
ing me to their own degree, with all
the grand and majestic form which
has gathered dignity from the ages,
and by no one sentence did they cur
tail it. A burning mountain burst
with a believing roar as the incom-
ing waters met its fires, but gravely
they went on, in turn reciting their
sentences. Phorenice's troops broke
down the last resistance, and poured
IN frenzied stream among the
groves and temples. but still they
quavered never in the ritual.
1t had been said that this cere-
