BIRD LIGHTS STREET LAMP
Nesting Wren Pulls Chain Attached
to Gas and Apparatus Flares
Up Unexpectedly.

In a suburban town where the
streets are lighted by gas lamps, a
curious thing happened. A gen
tleman noticed that for several
nights the gas was not lighted in
front of his house and reported the
matter to the gas company. The
lamplighter who had the street in
charge was sure that he had
lighted it each night.
Later the gentleman noticed
that the lamp was often lighted
throughout the day and decided
that some mischievOus boy was
responsible for it. Keeping a
close watch for the offender, he
was astonished to see the light
fash up when not a soul was near
it. He placed a ladder against the
post and climbed up to investi-
gate the matter. He found that
the two chains which turned the
light on and off moved so easily
that the slightest touch was sum.
cient to send them up or down!
But they could not move of their
own weight nor by the wind. Still
more puzzled, the man returned
to his watch at a discreet distance
and was soon rewarded by seeing
a wren fly to the lamp, perch itself
on the ring at the end of the chain,
and give it a pull which lighted
the gas. He then remembered
that a wren had reared a brood in
the lamp that year.

Girl with Straw-Colored Hair Finds
Securing an Office Posi-
ton Difficult.

The young woman was Of a per-
feet blonde type. Her hair was
straw-cOlOred. With an air of vex-
alton she said to a writer for the
Philadelphia Bulletin:
Though l am an expert stenOg-
rapher, / find it difficult, on account
of my straw-cOlOred hair, to get
work. Men think that my hair is
bleached, and they hesitate to en-
ploy a bleached blonde, for they
know well that she who would
bleach erhair to so conspicuous a
hue as mine would have a soul too
frivlOus for sober typewriting and
shorthand.
"When / was out of work last
year l had to apply to six Offices be-
fore ! could get a place. Three of
the men to whom Iapplied didn't
test my ability in any way. They
said lamely that they were sorry,
but they preferred an older, a more
sedate person. Two men, after a
brief talk, admitted that my.work
suited them, but had to admit also
that their wives had peculiar
views, and would object to my pres
ence n,theirshusbands offices.

state Finances.

The financial condition of the state IL
gratifying; the splendid management Of
the fiscal affairs for the past thirty years
has paid off a large debt and reduced
taxation for state purposes to 10 cents
on the 800 The time is not far distant
when, by good government, the state tax
on real estate can be further materially
reduced. | hope the same economy in
appropriations win be exercised as here
tofore. The danger of n surplus to a
state is that It leads to extravaganza.
Guard against that. AZ the same time
let Missouri keep her proud position
as one Of the leading American states
and be abreast of her sisters in the
fields Of endeavor and progress. A glo-
Tious future awaits Missouri. Let 1t not
be retarded by extravaganza or parsi-
mony, u by wise and conservative eK-
p%enditures and measures let her advance
to her manifest destiny.

AN INTERESTING END OF A ROOM.
haps basket making or typography
has cast its spell so deeply that the
room must be devoted to one of these
pursuits. \ den under these cOndi-
tons achieves Il much more interesting
expression than when it is used mere
~ to sit in. But to whatever purpose
the den is put there are always numer-
GUS questions to be settled on its be-
half. What shall be done with it's
walls? What shall be laid over the
floor? WSat kind of furniture should
be adopted?
Few hOmemakers realize the power
that the wall covering cxerts over the
rest of the furniture. If this were
clearly understood there would be more
money spent upon the wall coverings
and less in proportion upon the furni-
ture and carpets, for the wall is the
chief harmOnzing factor in every
apartment. The old phrase, "A little
knowledge is n dangerous thing" is
never more true than when applied to
house furnishing and especially the de-

or a pattern that is printed in two
shades of one color. Red in it's bright
est tone is so popular at the present
time that its other and more beautiful
shades, orange russell, brick and ma
hogany, are quite forgotten.
Yellow woodwork is one of the con-
spicuous failings in cheapIy built
houses. This is found in cypress, pine
and sycamore when it is finished in the
natural color with chellac or oil. 1t is
a sorry mistake to disregard this wood
work in selecting the wall paper. In
red none but a very dull shade agrees
with it artistically. Green is the safest
choice, although buff and yellow or a
good tapestry can be used creditably.
The den can fortunately utilize many
articles that do not withstand the criti-
ctSm of the other rooms in the house.
In one home an old green carpet was
sent away to be cut into strips and be
rewoven into rug shape. In it's new
state the rug made a messy looking
covering for the den, both soft and
serviceable.
A comfortable divan should be pro-
cured for the den, and one Of the box
lounge variety can be filled with blank
cts and pillows, ready at an instants
notice to make up into an extra bed.

hundred acres, producing about $4,000
pounds Of seed, are planted in Califor-
MIA every year for seed alone. More
than 5000 pounds of one variety have
been used in a single year by one
American seed house.
Lettuce is cool weather plant
which succeeds best when grown In
the spring and autumn. 1t succumbs
TO frost and cold if previously grown
in warm weather, but stands severe
weather If gradually hardened to it, SO
much so that gardeners even as far
north as Long Island sometimes SOW
the seed i'll September and winter the
plants over outdoors, either entirely
unprotected or with only slight coy
ering Of brush. Under favorable CON
ditiOnS the seed sprouts within three
or four days, but it may sometimes be
greatly delayed. When the weather Is
dry or cold seed planted in September
may not sprout until the next spring
Self sown lettuce is common, and in.
ferior seed is sometimes obtained from
such crops. Practically all the seed
used in this country Is raised in Cali
fornia. Only very small part Of it is
imported, though perhaps not farther
back than 1880 the larger part Of 1t
came from abroad.
Lettuce does not readily cross fer
tilize in the field, and different varie-
ties are planted side by side with little
danger Of mixture. The plants are gen
orally grown for seed in the same way
as for market. Sometimes they are left
so close together that no heads are
formed, and this is said to produce in
feriOr seed. 1t requires from thirty to
sixty plants to produce a pound of
seed.
There are many important factors
which determine the variety best suit
ed for particular purposes. Some of
these are:
Differences In Soil and Climate.-The
cos varieties, for example, succeed
much better in England than In our
country, and everywhere market gar
deners find that certain kinds are best
adapted for their conditions Of soil and
climate.
The Season at Which the Plants Are
Grown.-Some kinds succeed well in
the spring, but shoot to seed at once in
hot weather and are of little use for
summer planting. Certain kinds are
very hardy to cold and winter success
fully outdoors unprotected, while other
varieties, especially the crisp sorts, are
failures for this purpose.
Methods of Growing, Whether In
Greenhouses, Hotbeds or Cold Frames
and Whether Transplanted Into the
Open Air or Grown Directly In Place
Outdoors-In field culture, where time
and space are not so important as in
greenhouses, it is more profitable to
grow the large varieties, which are
much later in season than those com
monty grown under glass.

The American Farmer the Best In the World.

The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master of
the soil-he Is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig-
nihcance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
900, 600 for their products IN a single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past. He knows If certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest In the same

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.
Strict Regard For Discipline Pro
duces the Best Results.

Strict Regard For Discipline Pro-
duces the Best Results.
AS general rule woman becomes eff
hcient In business In proportion as she
can lay aside the peculiarities and pre-
negatives of her sex and become to all
intents and purposes masculine. This
Is not said in mitigation Of the obvious
truth that indiscriminate contact with
men in employment tends to unsex wo-
man or In ignorance of the other fact
that In many pursuits the feminine
equipment fits its possessor for a finer
type of service than most men can
reach. But, whenever an employees
relationship to the work becomes COM
plicated with the question of her sex,
then there are friction, waste and an
impairment of availability.
The moment that the business of an
Office or store has to be conducted on
the plan of a soiree there is an end to
plain speech and quick work. 1t is not
enough that woman can do the same
work as a man; she must be amenable
without friction to the same rules, dis
cipline and direct method as man.
Otherwise she stands In her own light;
otherwise she will find herself pur-
chasing gallantry and palaver at the
cost Of better pay.-Portland Oregoni-
