There is a good article on caring
for the birds in The Farmer of Au-
gust 30th. I am glad that so many
persons are agitating that subject.
I wrote an article twenty years ago
asking our legislators to pass a law
protecting the birds, and especially
the hooking birds. I had no idea
that I should live to see such a law
in this State. However, we have
that law now, and I would like that
it be, made stronger so as to protect
all birds except those that prey upon
others. The jackdaws destroy more
birds than any other one thing, for
they constantly search for nests and
devour the eggs or young that they
find therein; SO I think there should
be premiums placed on their destruc-
ton so that people may be induced
to kill them for the pay there is in
it. They generally go in pairs. and
fly swiftly from tree to tree, breaking
up every nest that they can find.
Just think of the number of young
birds one pair of iackdaws can de-
stroy in a day! They are also very
fond of young turkeys and ducks. So
hoping for a law of determination
of jackdaws, I am, as ever,

Six Rules of Etiquette.

Dear Aunt Jennie Here are six
or rel rules of etiquette so often
violated that I think it may be worth
while to call attention to them in
your columns.
1. Always introduce the gentleman
to the lady, never the lady to the
gentleman. This rule is to be OBJ
served even when the social rank of
the gentleman is higher than that
of the lady.
2. When the sexes are the same.
always present the inferior to the
superior, the younger to the older.
8. Never present a gentleman to a
lady without first asking her permits
sion to do so.
4. Notes of invitation and reply
should be written on small paper, of
the best quality, and enclosed in
envelopes to correspond. Never omit
the address and date from any letter,
whether of business or friendship.
5. Mothers, raise your children up
in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord, for the best Christian is the
most perfect lady or gentleman.
6. Never speak of absent persons
by their Christian or surname; but
always as Mr.. or Mrs. So-and-so.
Above all, never mention anybody by
the first letter of his name.

Drying Corn; Bird Protection.
CASTOR Co.. N. @.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I have been
putting up green corn to-day, and
thinking that possibly some one
might like my plan, I will tell it to
the readers of Social Chat. I can
not can corn that will keep. I have
never tried using preservatives, as
the doctors all say they are poisonous.
However, / used some once in put
ting up berries and fruit and did not
like the taste. So if there is any
one else who, like myself, cannot a
it, I will inform them how I dry it.
Prepare the corn as if for immedf-
ate use, then cook in an oven or stove
over a slow fire until it is done.
Bake, not boil it. As soon as done
spread in the open sunshine, on a
sheet, and let remain all day. Stir
while baking and also while drying.
Cook it on a fair, bright day, and
in the morning, and usually it will
be very near dry by night. Put in
a clean sack, and hang whelS mice
cannot modest it. When you wish
to use it, place in a vessel with a
little water, and keep warm for an
hour or two, and it will plump out
nicely. Season to taste. If it is not
quite as sweet as fresh corn, use a
little sugar. In baking be careful not
to brown it. Any one a put up a
quantity in this way.

a tiny self was permitted to grasp

The Ambition of Womanhood.

Dear Aunt Jennie:- have read of
"the unfulflled ambition Of South
ern gentlemen" But what of the un-
fulfilled ambition of women through
out the wide, wide world? What
are they thinking about to let it re-
main unfulflled? What have they
been doing in order that it may be
fulfilled?
The highest ambition of an Eastern
woman is to be the mother of a son.
The mother of girls only was a sad
eyed woman Queen Victoria's ia
vorite granddaughter, the Czarina of
Russia, was said to be the saddest
looking woman in the world, re-
preached, tainted and prosecuted be-
cause she was a sonless mother. How
great then must be her JOY now that
she has a son, even though she must
know of what a cruel race her son
has come. Yet as she looks in the
smiling depths of his innocent eyes.
she fancies that she sees in him, not
the cruel monarch that brushes mil,
lions with his expressions, and sends
thousands to the soldiers bloody
grave, but the peace-loving monarch
that will govern his people wisely
and lovingly as did her good old
grandmother Victoria.
Each son of a mother is born to
a kingdom-the kingdom of self and
it's concomitants-wife, children
and home. And the most rebellious
subject in that kingdom is self. It
seeks to be the ruling power, and
when it succeeds the man becomes
like those who "rule over others to
their own hurt" A selfish person.
by being oppressive, damages himself
more than those whom he Expresses
"He that is slow to anger is better
than the mighty; and he that ruletb
his spirit than he that taketh a city"
And every daughter is born a
queen, but how many of each sex lose
their birth-rights? How many moth
er-hearts are breaking to-day because

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

I11S morning WHICH whispers OF COOL
er days to come. Are we ready for
them? Do we know that the little
people are provided with light wraps
to don as soon as needed2 Have we
examined last winters supply of fan
mel, and darned rents and fastened
on all the buttons and supplied the
missing ones2 Winter comes un-
awares, and the first really cold day
is ushered in in the night, and if we
are not prepared for it's rigors, when
we wake-woe betide US!
Little feet and little bodies have
a habit of ~outgrowing things while
summer flies, and you think that
John has a good suit and that his
shoes are large enough and not badly
worn. Well, if John is like most boys,
he has outgrown them, and onse-
quently James who is two years his
junior will inherit those things. Most
children object strenuously to wear
ing garments previously worn by an
elder brother or sister, but economi-
cal mothers realize that it is often
times expedient to have them do so.
We can change or make over dresses,
cloaks, etc., for the little girls, but
for the boys we are powerless to pro-
duce a different style, though we can
sometimes change the color of the
garments and buy a new tie, thus
the appearance of the whole
suit.
Where there are many children in
a family it certainly pays to buy nice
goods for the older ones, for then
the garments may be worn several
seasons, and may be dyed and used
again after it is entirely too small
for its former owner. Now we know
that this cannot be done if we buy a
cheap inferior goods at first. The
better grade costs more In dollars
and cents; but stop and think of the
money saved if you can use it several
seasons. Besides, inferior goods new
er look so genteel even when new and
cut by the latest pattern. When buy
ing goods for the little boys pants
be sure to get a material that will
last long enough to pay you for the
time expended in the making. This
is no easy matter to decide, for of al
rough wear, the little boys pants
must endure most. Their stockings
must be substantial, too.
By the way, I see that fancy hose
are to be worn this winter. Now ]
would advise you not to adopt thi:
style, because / have had two friends
who were made seriously i'll by the
poisonous dyes that were used IL
those beautiful colors. If you insist
on wearing them, be sure to wash
them thoroughly first, which process
renders them less dangerous, ant
usually less pretty. Black stocking:
are always pretty and serviceable fo1
children, besides they al be so easily
mended.

Regarding the price of cotton anu

Major company exchange sums UP the
situation as follows:
New Orleans, Aug. G.-1esterday
cotton market was another Chlnese
puzzle. Everybody wondered whether
the New York clique was holding
prices all alone and if not who or what
was helping them do the stunt. Pro
|fessionals and the public are bealsi
almost to man. Most of them eX-
pect that there will be crash in the
near future and that the New York
Clique will have to "shoot Niagara.
It must be remembered however, that
things don't come to pass simply be-
cause everybody expects them. Many
of the present bears were bulls al IS
cents and had no doubt that one pound
of cotton would sell for two dimes.
Their opinion can hardly be said to
have become more weighty froc1 the
fact that they now incline to the be-
lief that two pounds of cotton will
sell for one dime Even if big
crop be taken for granted it does not
necessarily follow that the prices must
be low. circumstances alter cases.
The wheat cron of tho nithr ypar
was bumper, yet May wheat sold at
S1.S5 in Chicago. Very high prices
by extraneous conditions. The cotton
mills of the world have been curtailing
production during the last twelve
months. some of them because they
were resolved to fight manipulation.
others because they could not spin ex-
cept at loss. others because they had
no raw material at ALL.
