The Slaughter of the Birds.

Discovering that moral suasion, ar
gument and ridicule have not succeed
edln putting stop to the trade in
bird plumage, the Illinois Audubon So
ciety has begun aggressive proceed
lngs with a view to enforcing the
law on the subject. Last week that
society sent out notices to every mil
liner and dealer in millinery goods
in Chicago, citing the law and threat
ening prosecution if it were vio-
lated.
The officers of the society have
consulted with state and federal
officials and with the managers of
kindred organizations throughout the
country. The law forbids the captur-
ing or killing of any other than
game birds in their season, and the
English sparrow, crow, blackbird,
and chicken hawk. The possession
of plumage from the protected bird is,
we believe, also forbidden.
Every bird, during its brief life
time, destroys millions of noxious
things. Even the hated English
sparrow probably, in the main, does
more good than harm, while the less
obnoxious birds do no harm at all, but
only good.
1t is curious thing that woman,
with her natural tenderness her love
and pity for innocent heplessness. her
fondness for beauty in it's most
charming forms, should, by her taste
for ornamentation, for the decora-
zion of fine feathers, constantly pro-
woke the eternal war which is waged
upon the songsters of the field and
the woodland. The woman who en-
courages this amending slaughter is
doing violence to some of the sweet
est and worthiest qualities of her
nature.

The seventeen-year Locust.

There is a growing belief that the
destructive effects of the 17-vear
locusts, due about now, have been
greatly exaggerated. Tradition has
preserved wonderful stories of their
ravages when forests were much
more numerous than at present, but
the forests have largely disappeared
and the ploughing up of the land has
destroyed most of the nests which
affored refuge for the locusts during
the long period of incubation. AL
though colonies have been seen in the
neighboring country during the past
week no considerable destruction has
been observed. According to the
Jersey City Journal, the wicked re-
putation which the locusts enjoy is
unfounded. They do not eat the
leaves, neither do they sting human
beings for they have no poison
glands. The female locusts do cut
notches in the young twigs and this
kills the twigs and the leaves on
them but they do not eat the leaves,
neither do they injure the old wood
on the trees. The trees are injured
but they outgrow the wounds very
quickly, though the large number of
wilted twigs give the trees a damaged
appearance for weeks after an inva-
sion of locusts.

Fashion Hints for Summer.

The "Gibson" effects remain popu-
lar and are particularly we'll suited
to pique, linen, duck and madras.
The vogue of hand embroidery,
which has entered SO largely into the
decoration of handsome silk and cloth
gowns for Spring, continues. and
many of the new blouses and shirt
waists show this embellishments.
A special feature of all the new
colors this season is the soft tint
made by blending one with another
gray with greens and blues, brown
with reds, etc.
Foula1ds showing polka dot designs
in both black and white and dark
blue and white are especially we'll
liked for shirt waist costumes.
White batistes make fascinating
toilettes when associated with en-
broidered batiste or with all-over
lace; such dresses are made unlined
and are intended to be worn over
colored silk foundations.
Some of the most charming of the
Summer gowns are made of inexpen-
sive dimities and lawns.
Shirt waist suits of chambray or
cotton cheviot are an important item
in the Summer girls wardrobe. -s----
Black Chantilly is one of the most
popular laces of the season and is en-
ployed on net, mousleine, chiffon and
thin silk. - ..,S.sssAsssa& Rszz&
Since many of the Summer gowns
have elbow sleeves, bracelets will be
popular, and they are shown in var
iety.
Parasols to match the gown are a
new style; the dolly Warden" is
quite the latest in the chiffon variety
and is made, as the name implies, of
lowered material, decorated with
ruches.
While hats are large they are light
in weight. Neapolitan and Tuscan
straws are much employed, and COM
bined with tulle or chiffon produ ce
very airy creations. Hats are invari-
able broad and fiat, with a little
droop at the back and trimming ends
that fall over on the hair.-The July
Delineator.

THE wELL-DREssED GIRL.
Good Taste, S<i1lful Fingers and In
dustry Often Accomplish What
Money Fails to Do.


You may have an idea that the best
dressed girl is the one who spends the
most on her clothing, and that no girl
need consider herself well-dressed who
has to plan and scrimp and make over
continually. This is mistake. Good
taste and skillful fingers can often ac-
complish what money fails to do.
The girl who does not dress to fit her
years is not well-dressed. For a miss
in her teens to wear gowns fashioned
as deliberately as her mother, and of
as expensive material, proves someone
in error, either the mother or the girl.
Form simple tastes, girls. Then you
will never be in doubt as to how you
shall dress; your own good sense will
tell you.
Some girls may have prettier dresses
than others, but there is no reason
why any girl should excel another in
neatness. A girl has herself to blame
if her shoes are rusty color instead
of attractive black. It is not lack of
money, but lack of energy, that is
shown when girls shoe is minus
some of it's buttons.
After all, it makes less difference
how girl is dressed than she some
times believes. To have mind we'll
clothed and thoughts lovely and at
tractive, will do more to add to the
appearance of any girl than can the
most costly fabric. Clothe yourselves
with content, cheerfulness, and loving
thought for others, and, so your dress
be neat and fresh, you need have little
anxiety as to your appearance.-Girls'
COMPANION.

Letter to w. T. Turner,
MorriStoWn N. j.

Dear Sir: If you want your paint
to last as long as that of other house
owners in your town is going to last,
you should use lead and zinc.
You can mix your own, or buy
Devoe &5 Reynolds as you like. The
results will not be the same, however.
Devoe & Reynolds lead and zinc is
ground in oil and thoroughly mixed.
Machinery does it. Handwork can't
compete with machine-work, either
in cost or thoroughness. Mixing by
hand is imperfect mixing and zinc is
peculiarly hard to mix; wants grind
ing. Lead and oil is honest paint; but
less durable. Lead is tender and zinc
tough. The proper mixture ground
together is better than either alone.
French painters use zinc alone; but
American painters think it is too
hard and mix it with lead.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & @. 7. Reynolds.

too, that teachers are alive to its serious
ness and are doing their part to help along
the cause.
The disease Is often found among adults,
Dut as much is generally noted by the person
soon enough to ascertain the cause, it being
either infection, error of refraction, lower
vitality or nose and throat trouble, and the
proper remedy is instituted. With children,
however, 1t is different; either the children
develop the disease, trachoma, insidiously
and few signs of it are noted, and the moth
ers attention is not called to it, or else she
knows nothing of its nature, and the child's
condition grows from bad to worse, until, at
length, other complications have resulted,
often as serious, as to be beyond human aid.
1t is to make clear the cause, diagnosis al 4

written.
AS result of my examinations of many
thousand children for the Health Depart
ment during this year ] have found the large
majority Of cases in the poorer schools and
public baths. The cause is easy to under
stand. The child, so often poorly fed and
clothed, becomes run down and is in a con-
dition to take on any disease then prevalent.
1t has not had the proper surroundings (r1u.
fortunately so often impossible), not only as
regards nourishment air, light and cleanli-
ness, but also as to habits Of life and the
presence of inherited taints. 1t needs only
the using of an infected towel or linen, or
the proximity of one already suffering from
trachoma to start up the trouble Another
powerful factor in its cause Is the very pow
erful factor of enlarged tonsils, adenoid

The skins which resent soap usually take
kindly to almond meal or to the bath bags
flied with bran or oatmeal Should there
have been an elaborate makeup of paints,
balms-o or powders the skin should be rubbed
with some greasy compound-c0ld cream, al
mond oil or white vaseline-before giving it
the hot bath. The question whether to rinse
the face in cold water after the hot must
be left to individual discretion. French skin
specialists are strongly opposed to it. Unless
the dressing room is hotter than any room
should be, the atmosphere furnishes AL the
corrective needed: and a douche in cold
water Immediately after the hot is only less
Irritating than to so directly outdoors on
cold day, practice universally condemned.
The morning face bath should be in hot, or
az least warm, water, but soap under ordi-
nary conditions is not needed. Water for
bathing should be soft, ana lemon juice is
more effective in softening hard water than
a lemon in two and drop it in the toilet
pitcher A fresh lemon will not be needed
more than twice week.
Although the water is not hard, it may
be improved by tossing orange and lemon
skins into the water pitcher. They yield
their perfume if hot water be poured over
them, and so furnish fragrant toilet water
with little trouble or cost.
In wiping the face all motions should be
upward, in circular manner, with slight
pressure from the finger tips.
