Rirtis That Help.

Recent careful study with reference
to the food habits of hawks and owls
carried on by the United States depart
ment of agriculture goes to show that
these birds, with but few exceptions
are the farmers friends rather than his
enemies. Ii appears that the good
which they accomplish in the way OF
destroying mice, gcphers, rabbits and
other small mammals, along with great
quantities OF noxious insects, far ex
ceeds the possible harm they do by
the occasional destruction OF poultry
and other birds. A critical examination
of the actual contents Of about 2700
stomachs of these birds showed that
only six of the seventy three species
found in the United States are injuri-
Gus. Three Of these are SO rare that
they need not be considered. OF the
remaining three, the flsh hawk is only
indirectly injurious; hence but two re-
main to be considered, viz, the sharp
Skinned and Cooper's hawks. Omitting
the six species that feed largely on
poultry and game, 2212 stomachs were
examined, of which fifty-six percent
contained mice and other small mann
mails, twenty-seven percent insects and
only IL percent poultry and game
birds.

The Seasons Fashions.

The collarless jacket cut trifle low
in the neck is the mode. The blouse is
still with us. The long, three quarter
length Russian blouse coat is good
style, as is also the short blouse which
ends with a belt at the waist-line But
to emphasize the fact that variety rules
there are Elton jackets equally fashion
able which are short enough to show
the waist-line all the way around, ex
cept in the front, where they are made
with long stole ends.
Sleeves continue to display their full
ness below the elbow, and are much
trimmed. Cuffs are more fanciful than
ever, and tab effects in cloth, velvet
and silk are frequently introduced not
only as trimming for Jackets, but for
skirts.
1t is to be a season Of trimmings.
Pendant ideas are among the newest
fancies. Tassels, silk braids, and pas
sementeries with little drops dangling
from them, are considered modish.
A very new idea in planning an elab-
crate gown of sheer, soft material is to
trim it with bands of transparent voile
or even mousseline, decorated with a
design worked out in very narrow silk
braid. A gown of this sort is made
over changeable taffeta lining, and
a very pretty effect is obtained by the
irridescent effect of the silk showing
through the transparent bands.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

Thorouqh Work for Lice.

Keep your fowls free from vermin.
Provide a dust bath; paint the drop
ping boards at least twice year with
some good liquid lice killer; whitewash

If mites ever get in the house, take
everything out, for in a well-regulated
poultry house, everything is movable.
Spray it well with kerosene emulsion
made as follows: One pound of soap
well shaved in one gallon of water.
Bring to a sufficient heat to dissolve
the soap. Remove from the fire and add
one gallon of kerosene. Agitate thor
oughly until of the constituency of
cream. A spray pump is an excellent
agitator. You can now add ten or
twelve gallons of water. Use this mix
ture to spray house and everything
thoroughly. Repeat in ten days to get

The Under Petticoat.

The under petticoat is no longer the
clumsy garment it used to be, but it is
dainty trifie which fully merits de-
scription. 1t is fitted to the waist,
tbs hips, and even to the knees-in
fact, there is just room to take a long
step in it. Around the foot it is treat
ed in various ways, the newest being
the Van Dyke of lace Insertion is
sewed in the skirt in points, and round
the bottom of the skirt are ruffles Of
lace put on in Van Dyke fashion, so
that they fall in irregular points. For
an outer garment, this treatment would
be impossible, but for the foot of the
under petticoat it is extremely dainty

Proper Care of Mirrors.

In the first place it is well to know
q good cleaner. This can be made by
adding to whiting enough cold tea to
make a thin paste. Remove the fly
specks with warm tea and dry the mir
ror. Then smear some of the paste on
the glass and rub with dry cloth.
A good way to polish the mirror is
with soft cloth and few drops of
aqua ammonia. Cleaning with paper
is not effective unless the best quality
of rag paper is used.
To scour mirrors make a paste Of
whiting and water. Smear the surface
with it and let it dry on the glass. Then
rub it off with tissue paper or with a
soft newspaper. Rub gently, for the
particles of grit in the paper may
scratch the glass.
The following is good way to fill in
the scratches that often appear on the
backs of mirrors: Scratch away the
mercury for about quarter of an inch
around the scratch and wet the place
with clean rag dipped in alcohol.
Take a broken piece of mirror and
mark out q piece of silvering larger
than the place on the mirror Place a
small drop of mercury on the centre
of this silvering allowing it to remain
a few minutes. Clean away the silver
from around the patch and slip it from
the broken glass to the place to be
mended, pressing it into place with a
small piece of cotton batting.-Ameri-
can Queen.

Use a long-handled brush. to dust
pictures and high places, stiff paint
brush for diustirg carved furniture, and
a small round paint brush for greasing
bread and cake tins. A new tooth
brush is fine for cleaning strainers and
celery. A scrubbing brush with rather
stiff bristles may be used to clean
pressed and cut glass dishes and to
wash all scanned tinware. A fibre
brush will clean the lemon and horse
radish graters and remove the skin
from new potatoes. Another useful
article is cheap whisk broom, bought
for the sole purpose of furnishing
spIints for trying cakes. 1t should
be kept in paper bag, will last for
years, and has the virtue Of cleanli-
uess.-Woman's Home Companion.

Cleaning Delicate Silk.

watched professional cleaner
make spot on a delicate silk disap-
pear. Instead of attacking the ugly
mark at once, he began about 10 inches
from it. He stretched a scrap of thin
white broadcloth on the end of his
finger, dipped it lightly in gasoline and
worked quickly around the spot in
wheel-lille sweeps, getting nearer and
nearer the stain, which yielded in a
few minutes to gentle but steady rub
bing. The gradual approach to clean
ing the stain, he explained, did away
with all danger of leaving the halo one

Home Hospitality.

Hospitality in the home possesses
such a charm when dispensed in the
right spirit that it becomes easily one
of the chief features of home life To
keep always in the mood for meeting
cheerfully any guest who may drop
in Unexpectedly as well as to receive
those specially invited, this is the Sc
cret of hospitality. 1t is simple enough
to extend the hand of welcome when
every guest has been arranged for,
when the house is in perfect order and
the menu prepared ready to serve. But
it is when the friend unlimited for a
special occasion happens in at meal
time, more than likely some one the
good man of the house brings home to
dinner without consulting his wife as
to the convenience of the act, that the
real spirit of the mistress of the house
is put to the test.
The day may have been particular
ly harassing one; things may have
gone wrong" every hour, as they
sometimes seem to do-wherever the
fault may lie need not here be con-
jectured-the dinner may be practically
failure, the fire in the furnace low,
the cook cross, and things at skies and
sevens generally If under such circum-
stances the wife rises to the occasion,
or above it rather, and meets and
greets the guest with hearty welcome,
laughs away any seeming inconven-
ience, and places before him such as
she has without elaborate and embar-
rassing apologies, she has the true hos
pitable spirit, which is a quality as
rare as it is delightful, and one well
worth cultivating. 1t is not the spotless
damask, the shining glass and silver,
the hand-painted china, nor the seven
course dinner, which puts the guest
at ease; it is the cordial welcome and
the faculty of making him feel that he
is not causing any trouble or extra pre-
paration with which to elaborately en-
tertaln him. This is home hospitality.

How to Become seIf-Reliant.

1t may be a surprise to many Of you
to discover that over sensitiveness is
really to a great extent selfshness and
undue self-importance. If we did not
consider ourselves first, we should not
expect so much attention and Difference
from others.
Sensitiveness is a misery to the per-
sons afflicted with it. Offense is taken
when it is not intended and you are
apt to imagine yourself neglected or
abused when there is no cause what
ever for such uncomfortableness.
1t is all very well to have delicacy
of feeling; but it should not be foster
ed and pampered until you begin to
consider yourself really superior and
afraid of contamination with the world.
Ask yourself if the offense and morti-
fication felt are not really within your
own breast, rather than in the actions
of others. 1t is not possible that you
can never be mistaken, and that the
world has conspired to make and keep
you miserable, you must realize this.
If you have taken offense once with
out cause, does it not follow that you
may do it again and again? When you
find yourself once mistaken, remember
the experience and profit by it in fut-
ure.
Try hard to overcome the constitu-
tional self-consciousness that is at the
bottom of it all, Do not demand of
others more than you give. For in
stance, two girls are dear friends. We
shall call them Julia and Annie. Now
Julia is the sensitive one and she real
ly makes Annie unhappy by imposing
in so many ways upon her affection. II
she has a new hat Annie must prompt
ly notice and admire it. If Annie makes
a new friend Julia is jealous and weeps
because she considers herself supplant-
ed in the affections of her dearest
friend. And SO it goes from one griev-
ance to another until one is always ION
pins and needles" for fear of offending,
and the other is always suffering from
imaginary Sights. 1t can be readily
seen that such friendship lacks in the
one essential-confdence without
which true friendship is really i'm
possible.
If you will adopt the simple remedy
of thinking more of the comfort and
happiness of your friend you will be
very much surprised at the results.
Try it and see for yourself
Remember that your are not infalli-
BILE, and even if you should entertain
such an impression you cannot expect
others to share your opinion. 1t is an
undeniable fact that the person who
demands so much Difference is the very
one who does not show it. She does not
because she is self-centered and fails
to realize that other people may be
quite as important as herself. Forget
yourself, take things more lightly and
be self-reliant and self-respecting.-

AustraIia's Miniature Volcanoes.

A curious feature of the breakup of
the protracted and devastating drought
in Australia was the number of minia,
ture volcanic explosions in various
parts of the commonwealth. The
ground had become so parched anil
dry that it cracked. and the fissures
thus formed became the receptacles
of heated air. When the long-prayed.
for downpour of rain came at last the
water met the hot air in these assures,
and little geysers and volcanoes were
manufactured in a moment. Many
farmers hearing the explosions and
seeing columns of steamy stuff arising
from the earth. wondered what new
plague had come to afflict them, and
whether they were out of the frying
pan into the fire.

Large Exports of American Cheese.

America is said to be the largest
cheese producing country in the world,
and despite the fact that cheese is said
to be more nutritious than meat, less
of the cheese is consumed in the en-
tire United States than in England"
said T. D. Machen at the New Willard.
wisconsin and New York are the
largest cheese making states in the
Union. In each of those states there
are more than thousand dairies pro-
ducing cheese. A gallon of milk will
make a pound of cheese. which is
said to contain fat equal to three
pounds of beef. Over a million and
half pounds of cheese was made in
the United States last year, and near
ly half of it was shipped out of the
country. ."-Washington Star.

Fashion Notes,

Broche patterns are the most strik-
ing among the recent importations.
Boleros are decidedly in evidence up
on Partisan and Viennese costumes.
Jeweled link buttons to join the
openings in turnover collars are new.
A bunch of white violets at the side
adds very smart finish to the blue
violet hat.
1t is predicted that black straw hats
will be worn extensively entirely super
seding white.
Mexican drawn work is quite the at
tractive feature for the adornment of
dressy blouses.
Very wide at the back and very mar
row in the front is the style Of many
of the prettiest belts.
The up-to-date belle now wears a
small sachet of the appropriate scent
in the lining of her floral hat
An eton opening over a cloth vest,
with basque skirts attached, is the
jacket shown on several smart spring
costumes.
Old fashioned "hair-line" and "pin-
striped tafeta silks in black and white
are to be fashionable this summer, and
nothing can be prettier or more stylish.
White waists are to be the favorites
in mercerized cottons and linens of all
kinds, but the newest material is call
ed sheers. 1t is cotton fabric with
linen finish.
There are most beautiful new color
ings and effects shown in Olga crepe,
crepe de chine and crepe meteore. All
such materials are lined with the soft
est, thinnest silk, that no stiffness may
mar the clinging quality sought for
Wide, rolled brim Manila hats are
trimmed with twists of taffeta ribbon
of peacock blue, shading into green,
with sprays of thistledown balls in the
same "changeable" shades and
mounted SO as to away with every
movement.
Quite plain and bare of trimming are
the most stylish suits. Made of the
spring weight cloths, cheviots and the
pretty leather mixtures, they are fin
ished with bias bands and straps of
the same goods, machine stitched, and
ornamented with some one style of the
fashionable buttons.

The Pot of Parsley.

Every kitchen ought to have its pot
of growing parsley. The pretty and
most useful herb is easily grown, and
the advantage of having fresh leaves
on hand whenever they are wanted is
plain. Buy scent package of seed
and SOW on top of the soil in a 5-inch
pot. Water well and set the pot in a
light window. In short time the pot
will be a mass of green. Weed out the
weak plants.
