some treasure of this sort laid by.
But enough! We live in work-a-
day world, and most of our readers re-
quire practical garments at not too fab
ulous cost. Therefore, come with me
to the world of flannels. French flannel
is most delightful fabric for various
occasions. Originally associated with
bedroom wear, and somewhat dowdy at
that, it is now pressed into the service
of the smartest country and evening"
dress frocks. 1t is perhaps the cheap
est material in which beautiful color
ings are obtainable, and delightful
shades of navy blue and russell brown
in this fabric are justly popular.
Delaine is another attractive material,
but think flannel takes the first place.
Blouses and skirts of contrasting hue
are no longer worn, but il you have an
unlined flannel skirt and blouse to
match, you possess a charming costume
at small cost. really think the flannel
frock is a boon we do we'll to enjoy at
the moment.
1 do not care for flannel-even a
French fannel-in scarlet; it is too apt
to remind one of the petticoat and dress
ing-gown at their dowdy stages. 1t Is,
however, charming in new champagne
shade, and makes a becoming indoor
frock This, of course, can be treated
more deliberately than navy blues and
browns for country wear. In bright
shades of rose-pink this French flannel
makes dainty evening frocks.
1t is relief to turn to the simplicity
and cheapness of flannel or serge frock
with trotteuse skirt, prettily cut, and
plain blouse-like bodice, with it's very
wide crinllled belt of leather, suede or
kid to match.
Such gown of flannel can be worn
right into the coolest weather with the
addition of a smart little bolero coat
to match. This bolero coat must always
fasten at the waist and have big, plated
coat sleeves and some thick silk core
to form a finish. Thus you will have g
complete, smart costume at very small
cost. If in brown you will, of course
have brown boots and hat en- suite, fol

Raising Chickens for nr,.

There is an old saying that the eggs
will pay for the horse before the sale of
chickens has paid for the saddle, and
this is just about true. Raising chick
ems for profit in the eggs is the main
part of the business the farmer wants
to look after. But if he does this he
must make a judicious selection of the
kind of chickens he would keep. If it is
a cross, he must know that it is cross
that will lay. Never use cross made of
the setting and non-setting breeds.
These may do for market birds, but not
layers and settlers. Keep the laying
hens warm. To let them run in the
damp or rain will shorten up the crop
of eggs.-Twentieth Century Farmer.

struck a bargain. 1t was agreed that
the two should make their canvass on
the red-headed issue, and that at an
opportune moment the weaker of the
two should withdraw from the race in
favor of the other. Murdoch then set
at it. He made whirlwind campaign
on the cry that the red-headed men
ought to be represented in congress.
He quoted statistics to show that one
man out of ten had red head, and

ward expression.
In no European country is education
held in such high esteem as in Finn
land; in no other country do woman
share with men such perfect equality
! of opportunity. AS a natural conSe
quence, the Finnish women are the best
educated i'll Europe. The two great
universities, the lyceums, the school Of
art and science admit the two sexes
on equal terms, and they are eligible
to the same degrees. In the govern
ment services there are as many wo-
men as men, and there are no moral
standards set up for women that do
not apply in like manner to men.
If a country is to be judged by the
status of its women, Finland is the
! most advanced of the European states.
Coded to Russia in 1909, against the
armed protests of it's people, its eight
provisions has since that day consul
tuted Russian grand duchy, of which
the car is head. Up to two or three
years ago this duchy was an independ-
ent state, with it's own parliament sG-
, preme in all local matters. The estab-
ished church was Lutheran, but there
vas full religious liberty.
Now everything is changed. Russia
has violated it's solemn oath to allow
self-government to Finland. It's consti-
tutional rights, it's religion, its olden
customs, have been profaned, the press
is muzzled and ruthless censorship
extending even to private letters, has
been Instituted. The Russian language
has been made compulsory in the
schools, and efforts are being made to
RussianiZe the whole country. Two OF
three years ago the visitor to Helsing-
fors, the Finnish capital, found all it's
women clad in mourning as token of
their subverted liberties.
A still greater calamity now threatens
the brave and interesting people. Last
summer the crops of Finland were
total failure and 100000 of it's inhabit-
ants are starving. Hundreds have al
ready died of hunger and thousands are
being just kept alive on bread made
from straw, husks, bark and other in
nutritious ingredients. Unless relief
comes at once the mortality will be
appalling. The Fins in this moment
IF their dire calamity cannot make
their distress known to the outside
world. The press is in the thrall OF
the merciless censorship and must re-
main dumb, and, as we have said, even
private letters are opened. Those con-
aiming accounts of the ravages of the
famine are suppressed though now
and then one reaches its destination.
Russia has made some efforts for the
relief Of the starving subjects, but even
with the best good will in the world,
it could do but little, so many de-
mands on it's charity come from other
parts of it's widespread empire. One
hundred thousand people persisted in
the great Finnish famine of 1867. The
present famine is assuming far more
formidable proportions and the MAN

Queer and racy are the tales told o.
the skill Of the Maine shipbuilders in
the use of the adj and broadax. One
old time yarn is of carpenter who ap-
piled very drunk at shipyard for en-
ployment. In order to have little fun
with him the foreman set him to give a
proof of his skill by hewing out a
wooden bolt with no chopping block
but a stone. The carpenter accomplish
ed his difficult task without marring
the keen edge Of the broadax and
showed the foreman a neatly made
bolt. Then he brought the ak down
with a terrific blow that shattered its
edge upon the stone. II can hew fust
rate on your chopping block" he hic-
coughed, "but III be blamed If I can
make the ak stick in it when I git
through" The story runs that the
foreman lost no time in employing
such workman.

Rur., Delivery and Good Roads.

The very wet weather Of this spring
has impressed the postal authorities
with the necessity Of better roads in
the country if rural free delivery is to
be extended to its expected limits. The
vretched condition of many Of the
roads now used by the rural free deliv-
cry service has been a serious problem
and has greatly retarded the mails. In
the extension of the service one of the
most important questions presented Is
whether the new territory Is traversed
by roads that can be Travelled in all
sorts of weather. 1t is greatly feared
that many Of the routes already estab-
lished will have to be abandoned IN
less the local authorities pay more at
tention to providing good roads.

A Good Investment.

It is stated by various citizens OF

pike roads along all the principal thor

enhanced the value Of all farm lands
in the county, says Good Roads Maya
zine. Farms in the neighborhood of the
town that were worth 81 to SIS an
acre prior to the construction Of pixies
sell readily now at $25 to $40. Yet the
cost to the farmers Of building these
roads was only about so cents an acre
Even trust promoter would consider
that a pretty good investment. AND
that is just what good roads mean all
over the country, an investment that
pays a quicker and larger dividend
than any other that is legitimate.

How the Patent ONCE Was Saved.

When in the war Of 1912 the British,
who had taken Washington, trained
their guns upon the patent office, DR..
Thornton. throwing himself directly
before the guns, cried:
"Are you Englishmen or Goths and
vandals? This is the patent ofice-a
depository of the ingenuity and inven-
tons of the American nation, in which
the wholescivilized world is interested.
Would you destroy it? Then let the
charge pass through my body"
And the building was spared. TWEEN
ty-four years afterward, however, 1t
was destroyed by fire. together with
everything in it.
