Properly speaking, sofa cushions
come under the head of luxuries, and
yet they are invariably among the first
furnishings thought of for rustic

Is difficult to realize what beautiful

They are durable also, for Grape paper
is strong as well as flexible.
A bedroom should be made as dainty

box and an old mirror serve the pur-

into pleasing dresser. Two ruffies Of
decorated Grape, gathered and fastened
about the box, form its trimming and

HOME DECORATION.
THE SUMMER POSSIBILITIES OF
GRAPE PAPER.

A Popular Material For All Sorts OF
House Draperies-Not Only Pretty,
but Durable - May Be ScaIloped,
Plated, RULED and Twisted.
Together with eager anticipations of
the summer outing, it's rest and its out
door pleasures, there is bound to come
to the fortunate ones who are not
thrown back upon hotel life during the
vacation the practical question. ''How
shall make my cottage most unique
and attractiveY
An answer to this problem is given
In the Boston Cooking School Maya
zine as follows:
The decorations must be inexpensive,
easy to carry to the seashore or noun
tains and yet pleasing and striking to
the eye.
The arranging and adjoining of a
summer cottage are an unmixed delight
and especially SO if one only has an
ideal material and knows how to use
it. Grape paper is fast becoming the
most popular and correct fabric for
this purpose. 1t is especially adapted
for draperies and may be used in ways
unthought of by the uninitiated.
In many cottages the fireplace occu-
pies the central position in the living
room. This, then, is a starting point
and should be made q feature of the
room. Nothing could be richer or more
satisfying than mantel draped with
a dark red and black dragon design.
Grape paper can be gathered with a
needle and thread as well as cloth. 1t
can also with little care be stretched
and draped as easily.
Cord, which always lends a finished
effect, is made precisely after the man.

SOY BEANS.

widespread Interest In Them at the
North--How to Grow Them.
In view Of the present widespread in
terest in SOY beans few words of ex-
PLANTATION are pertinent at this time.
Probably hundred Ohio farmers have
asked me if they can grow soys in their
latitude. answer yes. Why not? Lo-
Gated north of the forty fourth parallel
of north latitude, l have been growing,
cross breeding and feeding soys for
years and have yet to record the first
failure. Given the early or medium
early varieties, any Ohio farmer should
do better than can possibly be done
here. The principal causes of failure
are too late varieties, too late planting
and too much seed.
The best way to use soy beans for
hog pasture is in what my friend, E. F..
Diehl of Indiana, calls a hog para
disc" This is made by planting soy
beans, cowpeas and corn in alternate
rows, and at the last cultivation two
pounds of rape are sown to the acre.
1t is not expensive, and it makes pork
as nothing else will. AS one farmer of
my acquaintance said: make pork
Well, say, it's just like getting money
from home"
Soy beans will stand more cold than
corn, cowpeas or potatoes. In fact, l
have never seen them injured by frost
between May 1 end Oct. 1, though, of
course, these are extreme dates Soys
will Withstand more wet weather at
any stage of growth than any forage
or grain crop l know and, in common
with cowpeas, will grow right along
through the hot, dry weather when
corn leaves dry up and rustic, says a
Michigan correspondent in Ohio Farm

How to clean Wall Paper.

To clean wall paper without injury
to it's gloss or general effect take four
ounces of pumice stone in fine powder
ed form and mix it with one quart of
-four When this has been thoroughly
done with the hands add enough water
to knead the mess into thick dough.
Form the dough into several rolls about
as long as the width of each strip of
wall paper and two inches in diameter.
Wrap some white cotton cloth around
each roll and stretch it in place; then
boil about quarters of an hour.
In that time the dough rolls are firm
and the covering can be removed. Rub
the soiled paper with these rolls. Not
only will ordinary dirt spots be re-
moved, but grease will be absorbed by
them. After rubbing carefully dust
the paper, and if more spots remain
repeat the process.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Altheas show their Rose of Sharon
flowers in August and September.
In setting out tree the previous
seasons growth should be shortened
one-third to three-fourths, according to
the roots.
The golden ccreopsis and the feath-
cry shoots of the garden asparagus
make beautiful and artistic combina-
ton in simple vase.
Watercress is good when the leaves
are large. The size of the leaves indi-
Gates the amount of tissue-strengthen
ing chlorophyll-in them.
The safest rule in pruning is to keep
watch on the young trees and cut out
any branch that seems to need removal
while it is yet small enough to yield
to the knife.
Trees that grow large tops, such as
elms. silver naples, hndens, etc..
should be planted forty-five feet apart
in order TO allow each tree room for
expansion and prevent too much
shade.
Plants of sweet william must be pur-
chased for new garden, as those
grown from seed sown in the spring
will not blossom until the spring fol-
lowing. Once started. however, they
will continue year after year.

Anima1 Matter ns pou1trx Food.

Animal Matter ms Poultry Food.
Prepared foods put on the market
are not intended to displace any of the
essential materials-grains and vege-
tables-within the poultryman's easy
reach, but rather to supplement these
in accordance with the object desired.
Prepared foods should be recognized
only in proportion as it is desired to
supply a deficiency in the foods usual
ly available on the farm. This means
that the feeder should have fair
practical knowledge of the essential
ingredients of food-protein, fat and
hydrates-usually recognized by
the chemist in determining the COM
parative value of foods.
Of these three ingredients protein,
or flesh forming matter, is the chief
from the purchasers standpoint. The
fat and carbohydrates cheat producers)
are found more generally in grains and
vegetables. The richest and most con-
centrated sources of protein known are
in dried blood and meat meal. The
best dried blood should contain about
95 per cent, and meat meal should av-
.erage at least GO per cent of protein.
The value of poultry bone will large
ly depend on its richness in protein
and phosphate Ozone forming natter.
The best green or raw bone should
contain at least 30 per cent of protein.
and the balance go per cent? should be
bone forming and essential food min
eral matter. This food in combination
with either blood meal or meat meal
is universally recognized as valuable
supplement in making balanced ra-
lions with grains. mill products and
vegetables.-W. J. Thompson. B. S. A.

WHY NOSES POINT EAST.
A Theory which Is Plausible. bu:
Rather Ridiculous.

A Theory Which Is Plausible. but
Rather Ridiculous.
Very few peoples noses are set prop
perly upon their faces. Any observant
person who will go along the street and
take notice of the nasal organs of the
passerby may easily convince himself
on the subject. Not one individual in
a hundred, whether man or woman, is
above criticism as to the arrangement
of his or her nose.
One might think that nature is lit
tie careless about this matter. When
the nose turns off at an angle instead
of assuming it's just and proper atti-
tude, it tends, at all events in extreme
cases, to give disordered effect to the
features as a whole, but if nature real
ly does not care which way nose
points there ought to be as many noses
turned one way as are turned the 9TH
er.
But is this the case? Not bit Of it.
As you walk down the street look at
the people as they go by, and you will
discover that the noses of ninety-nine
out of every hundred turn to the right.
When once you have begun to notice
this fact, it will constantly attract
your attention. In truth, the objec-
ton to starting in upon study of this
it afterward. 1t haunts you steadily
and persistently. Whenever you meet
a friend you look at his nose to make
sure whether it turns to the right or
not.
Now, the phenomenon being as de-
scribed, what is the reason behind it?
Why should nearly everybody's nose
turn to the right rather than to the
left? There seems to be only one way
to account for it, and that is that al
most everybody is right handed and
uses his handkerchief correspondingly;
so from infancy to old age the nose in
the process of being blown and wiped
is persistently tweaked to the right;
hence as the infant passes through
childhood and later youth-when the
nasal organ is flexible and in process
of formation, so to speak-it is obliged
gradually but surely to assume an in
clination eastward.
If this theory be correct, the noses Of
left handed persons ought to turn Gus
tomarily to the left. Such, in fact, APP
pears to be the case. but data on this
interesting branch of the question are
not sufficiently complete to afford a
final conclusion. = Saturday Evening

HOW TO EXCLUDE MOTHS.
eonne Valuable Pointers About These
Destructive Insects.

eohne Valuable Pointers About These
Destructive Insects.
When the habits of moths are under
stood, they can be more effectually pre-
vented. The moth millers make their
appearance in early spring. They are
torpid during the day, but are very &C.
tive in the. evening. During May and
June they deposit their eggs in dark
places. When a moth miller has laid
it's quota of eggs, it dies. The eggs are
very small and are Matched in about
two weeks.
The young worm begins it's destruc-
tive work at once and continues until
cold weather, says What to Eat. 1t is
torpid and harmless during the winter.
In late winter it changes into chrysa-
lis and later into winged moth. If
these winged moths are not allowed to
enter the house to deposit their eggs,
there will be no trouble with moths.
The window and door screens should
be placed in the windows and doors
early in the season and a close watch
kept for the moth miller.
Moths always work in the dark. Furs
and wooden clothing have special at
traction for them, and a soiled gar
ment or dirty spot on garment will
attract them; hence every garment
should be clean when it is put away
for the summer. Furs and all wooden
clothing that are not needed during the
summer should be hung out in the open
air and gently beaten and well brushed
and then wrapped in newspapers with
plenty of camphor gum. Newspapers
are good for wrapping about clothing,
because the printers ink is offensive to
the moths. When wrapped, put in
cedar chest. If cedar chest is not OBJ
tainable, use an ordinary box and paste
thick paper around the edges. Wooden
garments that require washing should
be washed and packed away in the
same manner. 1t is good plan to
write on the box the names of the diff
ferent garments placed inside.
When the carpets are taken up in the
spring, the floor should be washed to
remove the dust, then washed in water
to which turpentine has been added in
the proportion of a tablespoonful to
each quart of water, care being taken
not to neglect the cracks and places
where heavy pieces of furniture are
placed. When dry, sprinkle ground
black pepper along the baseboards.

BUSINESS AND HOMES.
The Cause of the Trolley Car and

The Cause of the Trolley Car and
the Street Railway.
On one point the American is deter
mined-he will not live near his work,
says Charles M. Skinner in the Allan
tic. You shall see him in the morning,
one of sixty people in car built for
twentyfour, reading his paper, cling
ing to a strap, trodden, jostled, smirch-
ed, thrown into narrowing relations
with men who drink whisky, chew to-
bacco, eat raw onions and incontinent-
ly breathe, and after thirty minutes of
this contact, with the roar of the
streets in his ears, with languid clerks
and pinguid market women leaning
against him, he arrives at his Office.
The problems Of his homeward journey
in the evening will be still more diff
cult, because, in addition to the work
ers, the cars must carry the multitude
of demoiselles who shop and go to
matinees.
To many men and women of business
q seat is an undreamed of luxury. Yet
they would be insulted If one were to
ask why they did not live over their
shops, as Frenchmen do, or back of
them, like Englishmen. 1t is this I'M
easy instinct of Americans, this desire
Of their families to separate industrial
and social life, that makes the use Of
the trolley car imperative, and the

the life and dominion Of the people. 1t

Heroic Courtesy.

A French writer on 1.-THE Revolution,
the Empire and the Restoration" cites
an amusing instance of what he calls
heroic courtesy. Percy, Lord Beverly,
invited to dine with him a marquis
who was one Of the most valiant sol
diers of the army Of Condo. Wishing
to honor his guest and the cause which
he served, that Of the French king, the
English peer ordered his butler to
bring him a bottle of fine wine 100
years ago, "a ray Of sun shut in crys-
tall" He opened 1t carefully and Of
fered a glass to the marquis, saying,
''If you deem it worthy the honor, will
you drink in this wine the health of
the kingY
The marquis tasted the wine. "How
do you like it?" asked the host. eek
quisite," replied the marquis. ''Then,"
said Lord Beverly, finish the glass.
Only in full glass can one drink the
health of so great and so unfortunate a
king" Without hesitation the marquis
did as he was hidden. Only when the
Englishman tasted the wine did he
learn that what he had forced on his
guest was castor oil.

How to Prepare Certain Nature
Plants For the Table.
How wholesome they are and how
tasty they can be made, those hardy
little weeds of our gardensi Nature
plants them at our doorsteps, places
them almost in our hands, inviting us
to tone up the system and purify the
blood with her medicines free of cost.
Americans would be in better health
and pocket both if the uses of these
wild vegetables were more thoroughly
and generally understood, says Table
Talk.
There is, for example, that plebeian
growth pig" purslane. Just how many
housewives know that this can be
nodded, dressed with white of egg
much as the average home caterer
treats spinach?
Here is a well tried recipe: Gather
the plant while young and before any
of the small yellow flowers appear on
it. The flowers are infnitesimal, but
nevertheless can be discovered at once
by careful examination of the branch
es. Wash the greens thoroughly and
boil three or four minutes. The water
must be boiling when the vegetable
goes in. A bit of pork boiled with the
purslane improves it to many palates.
But some object to the flavor of the
salt meat itself, in which case this can
be omitted without requiring any sub
stitute When cooked, the greens will
be brittle and will need chopping, as
they break of themselves. When they
have broken, turn them into a model
to be turned out firm and decorated
with hard boiled egg, like spinach.
The tender green growth which all
country folk know as lambs quar-
ter" makes a most delicious jelly. This
weed must not be boiled in an iron pot
as it contains so much iron itself that
discoloration results. 1t requires care
full cleaning "A stiff, clean lettuce
bush is nice for the purpose-and is
boiled moment only. 1t forms pale
emerald jelly which resembles aspara-
gus in taste and smell. The liquid jel-
ly is poured off into a mold to harden
and cool. Hard boiled egg makes a
pretty trimming, or sprays of the plant
can be arranged around the mold III

A number of other weeds are espe-
cially good when plain boiled and serv-
ed with drawn butter. Wild mustard
is one of these. Another is smartweed,
which sometimes goes by the name of
Drinoa's feather Red roof wild chic
DRY and peppergrass are others.

rectangular slab Of stone sunk in the

tourist that he finds the great reformer

and bending over it with keen interest
only to read, "Wilking Patent Hy-

shortcalse of the Genuine Variety,


The Indians call June "the moon OF
strawberries" because the wild straw
berry ripens In abundance during this
month. Choose a sweet and luscious
berry for shortcake. There are two
varieties of shortcake. One is the gen.
hine shortcake, which is always served
hot. TO make it sift four cupfuls of
pastry flour with two rounded tea
spoonfuls of cream of tartar and a
level teaspoonful of soda. Sift sec
ond time and rub in a heaping table
spoonful of butter Upon this part of
the work will depend the success of
the shortcake. The butter must be
rubbed in thoroughly. When this is
done. add enough milk to make a very
soft dough. If the shortcake is to be
very rich. add half milk and half
cream. Roll the dough out on the pas
try board or pat it into shape with the
hands. Cut out into two large. round
layers and butter the top of one Place
the other layer on the buttered layer
and bake in a hot oven. When done,
separate the layers, butter them light
ly, cover each with fresh fruit and sug-
ar, put them together again, cover with
whipped cream and serve at once
