How to Clean Lamu cb,mn.x.

An easy way to clean lamp glasses
is to hold them for a moment in the
steam from boiling kettle, rub dry
with a clean cloth and polish with soft
newspaper. Remember that no lamp
can be expected to burn well unless the
burner is kept clean. Duplex burners
can be taken apart IL the little bolt
which is on the side opposite the ham
die for turning the wick is removed.
Then they can be brushed clean. Boil
Ing them in soda water is sometimes
recommended. but this is not neccs-
sary.

The Hen Wasn't to Blame.

We have visited breeders yards and
seen birds standing upon the nest pant
ing and GREATNESS from the heat and
so weakened and exhausted from the
ravages of lice that they actually died
on the nest. One case of cruelty that
we will never forget was one in which
just such a bird figured. She was
large overweight bird and SO infested
with lice as to make her wild with
Her owner had set Nher upon a sit
ting of high priced eggs Of a new
variety and set his hopes high for a
good hatch. The poor bird, not being
able to properly incubate the eggs, had
finished her labor with four chicks as
the result. While suffering a thousand
torments and tramping around the nest
she had trampled upon and killed three
of the chicks. The human brute who
owned her had no sooner discovered
the facts than in his rage he grabbed
the bird from the nest and with all
his strength hurled her to the ground.
She writhed a few moments and then,

soon breathed her last. Perhaps i'm
agined it. but to me there seemed to
be an indescribable. pitiful. reproachful
look in the eyes of that dying bird
which told as plainly as words could
possibly tell that she loved her chicks
a thousand times more than did or
could the man who took her life and
that she would have given her life in
protecting them. She was only hen,
you say. Well, maybe that's all, but
the God who sees the fall of the spar
row will see the hen also. and
thanked him from the bottom Of my
heart that he gave me one which
would not permit me to wantonly, cow
ardly and inhumanly destroy a dumb
creature with the motherly instinct of
that hen. People who are capable of
doing such things can never prosper

An Advance Peep Into the Fashions
of the Coming Autumn.
Novelties in waists are now to be
seen by the initiated, though they are
not yet on public exhibition. We have
had all kinds. from the simple French
to the elaborate and expensive ones
where there seemed to be no beginning
or end to cloth or trimming. We have
had-still haye-shirt and separate
waists without end; tight ones made
with the utmost severity, and we have
seen many position basques, short ones
in empire style and in the Rejane fash
ion. and for the coming season we have
all these and many new ones evolved
from taking different characteristics
from the old ones and bringing them
together and perhaps finding some new
way of putting trimming on them. We
have the Gibson waist in all its varia-
lions, made unfortunately of silk.

Clean up the Plum Trees.

Plum rot attacks the fruit at, OF a
short time previous to, the period of
ripening. Spring infection is believed
to come chiefly from the diseased
plums of the previous year which fall
to the ground or may remain on the
tree; hence one of the most important
measures of treatment is the destruc-
ton of all diseased plums as soon as
possible. These should be gathered
and burned or securely buried.

that corn is ever under any circUm-

reference with the natural processes

goes through process of heating and
fermenting which, by the way, great
ly lowers its value as a fertilizer-the
vitality of the seeds contained in it
