SUMMER HEN NOTES.
Mess of Cooked Lean Meat Given
Every Day Will Stimulate Pro-
duction of EGGS.

If the hens must be fed anything at
all, it should be lean meat. 1t is bet
Ter to feed nothing and let the hens
pick up all they can from wide range,
which gives them a variety and keeps
them in exercise. But when the hens
do not lay, give them a mess of cooked
lean meat once day. This will often
start them laying when everything else
fails. Hens will not lay after they be-
gin to moult; but as long as they are
not moulting, they should be laying, as
there is no season of the year so favor
able for egg-production as summer.
When the hens are not laying during
the summer there is something wrong.
1t may be they are too fat or that lice
are annoying them. 1t may happen that
even on the range there is not suffi-
cient food supply, but it is seldom that
such is the case. The majority of those
who feed their hens give nothing but
grain and in so doing they get the hens
out of the favorable condition for lay
Ing by making them too fat.
The best summer foods are milk,
meat and grass. The hens can secure
all the green foods they wish if they are
at large, and also seed and insects, but
If supplied with skim-milll they will
need no other food, as long as they are
laying; but should the supply of eggs
fall off. give them lean meat. Cut off
every portion of the fat from the meat
and use only that which is lean. A
pound of meat will be sufficient for 16
hens. thus giving them an ounce each.
When the hens cease laying. it would be
well to examine them for lice, as that
is where most of the difficulties with
poultry begin. When hens are kept free
from lice, they will usually give good
account of themselves.-B. P. Wagner.

tion that the demand will become
greater yet. The bay tres are imported
from European nurseries and come
across in round tubes, in which they
remain, merely getting a coat of paint.
of course, there is the decided advan-
tage of ease in handling that goes with
the round tub, and it will, therefore,
endure undoubtedly, says American
Gardening.
But as a matter of harmony and bal
ance a square tub is greatly to be pre-
ferret. At its very best the bay tree is
very formal, and its true use lies in
conjunction with buildings of formal
character. This is especially the case
with standards. In conjunction with
the straight lines Of the buildings and
their appurtenances, such as piazzas,
etc, the square tub fits the picture bet
ter than the round one and serves to ac-
centuate the more the round head of the
tree itself. In the square tub the tree
top has a distinct character of its own
which stands out prominently.-Cin

THE LATEST WRINKLE.
everything In the Way of Gifts Has
Reference to the Recipients
Birth Month.

Many a girl is busy nowadays deco
rating her room, her personal belong
ings and herself with the flowers, gems
and colors which have reference to her
birth month, and in making presents
to her friends she gives them also the
same significance.
For the last few years there has
been an increasing attempt to make
gifts which recognize in some way the
recipients pet fads. AS this is an
athletic age. all sorts and kinds of
things have been made having refer
ence to golf, tennis, bicycling, riding
and\driving. Now the fad is to utilize
the symbols of the birth month.
For herself the girl uses chiefly the
flowers for the month in which she
was born. These she cultivates, if she
has garden, and wears. She decorates
her room with them in draperies, bed
covers, upholstery for reed or willow
furniture and hangings for her win
dows. There are so many pretty
things in floral designs that every
purse finds something desirable within
reach. The girl even embroiders her
handkerchiefs and lingerie with her
flower, though it must be said that she
does not put much work into the lat
ter unless it is for a trousseau. In
this outdoor age she cares more for
sports than for needlework, and she
can buy her underwear for less than
she can make it.
Here are the three chief emblems for
the several months-gems flowers and
astral colors
January-White onyx, snowdrop,
brown, silver-gray and black
ebruary-Amethyst, primrose, pink,
blue and Nile green.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., violets, white,
pink, emerald and black.
April-Diamond, daisy, white and
rose.
May-Emerald, hawthorn, red and
lemon yellow.
June-Pearl, honeysuckle, red, blue
and white.
July-Ruby, water lily, green and
russet brown.
August-Moonstone, poppy, red and
green.
September-Sapphire, morning glory,
BOlu duu DldCh Will Dlu6 uOl5#
October-Opal, hops, black, crimson
and light blue.
November-Topaz, chrysanthemum,
golden brown and black
December-Turquoise holly, gold
and brown.
There are gorgeous things in the
way of birthday pillows ready made
or ready stamped at a low price to
make up in birthday designs. These
have not only the appropriate colors,
flowers and jewels, but the signs of
the zodiac for the month. The birth
month colors or flowers are also put
into picture frames handkerchief and
tie or veil cases, cushions and bureau
covers. The imitation jewels can be
bought to sew on. Birthday spoons
with the appropriate flowers can be
found. some with the gems set in, and
rings with both flowers and gems. For
the children there are pencils and
pen holders set with imitation birth
stones. Washington Star.

SOME BoUDoIR DoN'Ts.
Simple Things for the Completion
which Are Worth knowing and
Putting In Practice.

Don't be afraid of sunshine. Cura-
tive powers are in the chemical rays OF
the sun, and they rejuvenate.
Don't think of the complexion only
and fear tan and freckles; they can be
removed. The sun is one of the most
efficient of all surgical methods in the
treatment of morbid growths as warts,
moles and all parasitical skin diseases.
Don't use boraX and rose water to re-
move tan and freckles without putting
on little cold cream afterward, for
borax makes the skin dry.
Don't use cold water when giving the
face a cosmetic scrub. Warm water,
followed by dash of cold water, is bet
ter.
Don't despise the humble lemon.
With the juice of lemon and the beaten
white of an egg, milady, brush in hand,
may touch mp her freckles in the seclu-
sion of her boudoir and no one be the
wiser.
Don't forget that vinegar will eradi-
cate yellow stains from the face. Bathe
the bruise at once with vinegar and dis
coloration will be prevented.
Don't have shiny nose and forehead
because it is warm weather. Use lit
tie cologne or spirits of camphor in
the water when bathing the face.
Don't wash your face in cold water
the moment you reach a washstand if
you have been travelling. Remove traces
of dust and smoke with cold cream, and
wipe off with soft towel.
Don't expect to cure an eruption on
the face by an external application only.
A hot foot bath containing washing
soda will often cure this trouble.
Don't use tincture of benzoin on the
face unless the skin is dry. 1t is detri-
mental to an oily one. This is an in
stance of a preparation excellent in
itself but not suited to every complex
ion.-Chicago Record-H Herald.

SENTIMENTAL JEwELRY.
dearest" Pendant and "Good Luclz''
Bangle Are in Astonishing
Demand Just Now.

Sentimental jewelry is in vogue just
now, or perhaps it would be more cor
rect to say that sentiment is finding
expression in the productions of the
jewelers. and goldsmiths to a greater
degree at the present time than for
some seasons past. Witness the popu-
larity of the heart-shaped bangle and
pendant, the fancy for the miniature
adorned brooch, and various orna-
ments and trinkets introducing the
true love knot or some similar senti-
mental device. Now comes a new
claimant for consideration and from
an English source, namely, the Dear
est" pendant reproduced here. The
significance of the sentimental desig-
nation is found in the gems that en-
bellish the ornament, the initials of
which spell the word dearest" The
stones used are diamond, emerald, am
ethyst, ruby, sapphire and topaz, the
emerald appearing twice. A brooch
on the same order is also to be had
and likewise a ring, with 'cluster stone
settings. The most recent Dearest
production is paddock bracelet
formed of gold links; at regular inter-
walls the gold chain is separated by
seven small gold hearts and in the
center of each heart flashes one of the
gems included in the dearest" group.

pound lighter than the last named. The
origin of the Minorca, like that of so
many others of our profitable, poultry,
is much in doubt, Some are of the opin-
ion that they originally came from
Minorca, an island in the Mediterranean
sea, one of the Balearic isles, while 9TH
ers contend they are variety of the
Black Spanish. Be that as it may, they
are one of the most profitable breeds of
poultry for the farm that is known. For
table purposes they are good, the flesh
being white or light colored and fine
grained. Their chief property is their
egg production. They are nonsitters and
year-around layers. AS winter layers
they are exceptionally good when kept
under fairly favorable circumstances

Frairpoint, Miss, Aug. 3rd.-One of the
strangest cases ever reported occurred mere
recently The son of Mr. G. l.. Butler was
very i'll. The doctor said he had some dis
ease of the spin& cord, and treated him for
two months, but he grew worse all the time,
and finally the doctor told Mr.. Butler that
he did not know what was the trouble,
The boy would wake up in the night and
say that he was dying. He would be nerv.
Gus and trembling and want to run out OF
the house, saying he saw ugly things which
frightened him.
His father was very much discouraged till
one day he saw new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once
bought some and began to give them to his
boy.
He used altogether eight boxes before he
was entirely cured. He has not beer
troubled since. Mr.. Butler says:

COMING FINANCIER.
Young Napoleon of Finance Found a
Way to Realize on Promised
Assistance

A certain member of the stock exchange
set his nephew up in business three times,
but the young man lacked something es-
sential to success in the line selected for
him, and had failed with each effort. Re
Gently, when he came with the fourth re-
quest for financial assistance, the uncle de-
murred.
=" Iou must learn to lean or yourself" he
said. II can't carry you all your life. 1t
would be an unkindness in me to keep sup
plying You with money to carry on enter
prises that invariably end in assignments.
III tell you what I'll do. You owe a great
deal as the result of that last failure. Pitch
in on your own hook, and go it alone till
you pay off those debts. When you've done
that Il give you check for all they amount
to. Such an experience will do you more
good than all the money L could give you
now"
Two months later the nephew walked in
with every claim receipted in full, and the
uncle was SO delighted that he gave the
promised check
Now, that's something like it" he said, h,
"and I'll wager you feel the better for the
hard training. How did you manage it,
Borrowed the money"
Now the old gentleman is telling them
that there is the making of great fnancier

BASE NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Some of the Things That Are Ex-
pected of Men who Aspire to
Political Leadership.

To become political "leader" and to re-
tain the post successfully, requires eternal
vigilance. One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, says that in the
tenement districts the leader becomes
sort OF unofficial mayor, guardian and fa-
ther of his people. He can never ignore
request. To do so is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all mis-
relations.
One woman asked district leader to take
her baby into his family while the mother
went out of town for weeks visit. Again,
he was called up at two o'clock in the morn
ing by a couple of men who had got into
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal; /;
to bail out those who were arrested to Sc
cure work for those who were out of employ
ment; to have police fines RENTED; to at
tend marriages, picnics and funerals.
One family OF voters renounced him perma-
nently because he did not call when seven
year-old Thomas broke leg.
But l didn't know he had broken his
leg!" the leader demonstrated.
Sure, and you should have known it."
But didn't even know you had a son
named Thomas"
That settles it," and the father took
up his hat. Tim Sullivan would have
known it. Niver meal have you ate in me

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Save odd bits of comb and render
into wax.
Give each colony a good hive and see
that they have a prolific queen.
Everyone owning a colony of bees
needs a good bee-smoker and veil
Give the bees proper attention, and
do the work thoroughly. Slipshod
methods do not pay.
Don't leave scraps of honey about
the yard exposed to the bees 1t makes
them cross, and induces robbing.
1t is not good to have the hive too
high from the ground; but they should
be raised enough to prevent rotting of
the bottom-board.
Don't try to get along with home
made hives and fixtures, unless they are
made just right Better buy good
hives and keep them well painted with
white paint.
Be tidy. When eating honey, don't
drop pieces of comb on the ground.
Put in a can or box and close up bee
tight II visitors drop comb about 1t
should be gathered up and put away.
Work out such brood-combs as are
crooked or have drone cells in them.
Place them in top story over a queen

Elephants Cheap.

At Hamburg, which has become
headquarters for the wild animal in
dustry, the recent sale Of a perform
ing elephant for $500 in Glasgow is
not viewed with the CONSERVATION
which it is reported to have caused
among London dealers in this line of
gools.
The big Hamburg dealers are now
able and willing to sell most wild ami
mails at what they brought twenty
years ago. These are prices now cur
rent Young elephant, from $500 to
$3.50: lions, $500 to 1925; tigers,
$500; spotted hyenaf, 5000; striped
hyenas. $500.
As to rare animals, fine rhinoce-
ros might fetch $1,000, aud a white
specimen might realize $4,000. Gil
RATES., after being as low as $3.50, rose
to S. 900 when the Mahdi closed the
Soudan. They have now fallen to
$4,000.
The whole question of prices rests
on the amount of freight charges, and
Hamburg has the advantage over
London in this respect.
