MONEY FOR SALVATION ARMY.
Immense Poultry Yard in England A
Bio Success.


Not only the largest, but the most
profitable poultry yard in England is
that conducted by the Salvation Army,
which is the pride of Gen. Booth, the
founder of the army
1t houses more than two thousand
chickens, and last year 1880 eggs
were produced for use in the Saliva
ton army enterprises and for general
sale. In addition 1,1S5 birds were
sold and 2,2S6 chicks were reared
One would scarcely imagine the Sal
walton army as chicken fanciers, yet
of a total of 104 birds exhibited at
shows ninety-three won prizes, rec
ord of which any one might be proud.
Although the poultry farm is in
tended principally as a means of CIV
ing employment to those presenting
themselves at the rescue missions, it
has proven a decidedly self-supporting
scheme, the sales for last year amount
ing to little more than four thousand
dollars.
The farm exceeds in size any other
in England devoted to poultry raising
and has been shown to be such sue
cess that it will soon be still further
enlarged.

Parisienne Potatoes.

Peel the potatoes and cut them in
balls with a vegetable cutter, or dice
them in cubes. Put them into boiling
salted water and boil for twelve min
utes. Drain and place them in a sauce
pan with two tablespoonfuls of butter
to one pint of potatoes. Put on one
side of the stove for fifteen minutes,
shaking the pan occasionally so that
the butter may be evenly absorbed.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add
a tablespoonful of chopped parsley.
Serve in a hot dish.

Liqht MantIes and Gowns.

Enchanting summer mantleS are
coolie jackets all over again, in form
and in the clumsy way in which they
lap over to the left for buttoning Ma
terials employed are those the en-
press herself might wear, and over the
lovely silks and satins often the royal
peacock is embroidered to the letter
in the genuine tints.
Long gowns for summer wear are
distinguished by two sharply contrast
ing styles-the short wasted empire
effect, and any draping from the
shoulder which will bring in the wat
teau plait. 1t would be hard to say
which is the more charming of the
two, but the vatican styles are some
what newer than the empire ones and
afford more possibilities for a defect

Such characterization Made Compulsory
in Belqium.

in Belgium.
While our health authorities tag
beef cattle after the have been
slaughtered, Belgium cows are thus
decorated by the government when
they reach the age of three months.
The tag is a preventive measure
and is designed to check the spread
of infection from tuberculosis through
the introduction from other countries
of diseased cattle.
AS soon as calf becomes three
months old it is inspected by a gov
ernment official, who enters its mark
and sex in a record book and provides
it with number tag, which is fas-
tened to a ring passed through its
ear.
The breeder is compelled to keep a
record of the animal and promptly
notify the officials of it's sale that it
may be traced, and thus the introduc-
tion of foreign COW with a tag simil-
arly numbered is rendered impossible.
Since the introduction of this system
the spread of disease among cattle
has been checked, and it is hoped that
shortly tuberculosis will be wiped out
entirely.
Although the system involves some
cattle cheerfully aid the officers in
the enforcement of the law, and only
cows with the fashionable ear orna-
ments are to be Seen.-New York

inventive New York Woman.

A woman was walking in Central
park with a big dog in leash and try
ing at the same time to shove a baby
coach The dog strained ahead so that
he almost pulled the woman over the
coach, and she was at her wits end.
Finally she solved the problem by
tying the dog to the coach Thereafter
all she had to do was to act as a
brake, which she found so easy that
she never thinks of going out with the
baby any more without the dog The
sight of a dog pulling the coach never
fails to please the children who hap
pen to be in the park when the dog
team passes.-New York Sun.

Built a Church Alone.

Stivichal, near Coventry, possesses a
place of worship unique among Eng
lish churches.
In 1910 John Green, stone mason of
a strongly religious turn of mind, laid
the first stone OF the edifice, and seven
years later he completed the building.
In all that time he derived assistance
from none, doing all of the work with
his own hands until the church was
ready for its interior fittings.
Wooden and even brick buildings
erected by one or two men are not un-
common, but this is the only stone
structure in the world-of which every
stone was laid by one man.
The building accommodates quite
large congregation, and the church de-
rives a considerable revenue from the
contributions of sightseers, who are
drawn to the place through curiosity.

Younu, But Wise

One neophyte in housekeeping who
has started on an economical plan and
doesn't boast of a superfluity of dishes
pins her faith to white tissue paper -
keep foods sweet in the ice box and
free from contamination from other
foods. Everything she puts in her
refrigerator, like butter, milk, salad
dressing, and the like, she covers
over with tissue paper, keeping it in
place with a rubber band
1t is her own idea, is an economical
one, so far as multiplying dishes is
concerned, and is a hygienic one in
that the paper is proof against the
penetrating odors which might affect
the taste or quality of the food

EVENING Dress for Summer.

The evening dress of the summer
woman is like the evening dress of
the winter woman, largely a matter
of purse.
The evening dress of this summer
should be in delicate tint, but should
preferably not be of very thin goods.
1t is not a season of transparencies,
though there are many to be seen
But the preference is more for the
delicately fiowered stuff; for the thin
silk, with its little embroidered null;
the pretty lowered and figured ba-
tiste and the lovely little summer
stuffs made up for evening wear with
the semi-low neck and the elbow
sleeve, with the little floating ruff1e.
The shoulder must, in all cases, be
broad, and the skirt can be tight-f1t-
ting and trailing, or it can be short
and many-gored to stand out in the
pretty old-new style.

Paris Fashion Fancies.

The checked voiles in light blue and
white, lilac and white, beige and

Paris for very simply designed morn
ing frocks of the shirtwaist suit or
loose bolero and plated skirt persua-
sion, and nothing could be more
economic for summer morning
walking dress than one of these da1n-
ty yet serviceable stuffs, made with
short plated skirt, loose bolero and
short loose sleeves, slashed up the
outside, and untrimmed save for nat
collar of antique embroidered batlste
and lace.
A sheer lingerie blouse must be
worn with the costume and a soft
leather belt of the color appearing in
the check. The voile is delightfully."-
cool and wears well, and though in
the light colors it soils more easily
than in darker shades its surface
shakes off dust very well, and It
cleanses perfect when it really is

Uses of Ribbon.

In the summer hotel one will see
great many flying ribbons this season,
for the ribbons are again in style.
There will be sashes tied in front and
ribbons tied on the side. There will
be pompadour girdles, ribbon choux
and SO many ribbon decorations of all
kinds that you will be unable to count
them all. Hats are trimmed with rib
bons this season; girdles are made al
most exclusive along ribbon lines, and
the ribbon counter furnishes the ma
terial for choux, stocks, cuffs, lape1s,
belts, waist trimmings and festoons.
One will see very wide ribbon gath
cred along one edge to make a skirt
ruffie for a foulard gown. One will see
ribbon shirred along each edge to
make puff for a skirt. One will see
so many handsome bands of ribbon
upon the new silk gowns that one will
wonder if there is any other trimming
used; ribbon, ribbon everywhere.

A Soapy Lake.

Some interesting items may at
times be unearthed from the consu-
lar reports. For example, there is
description of a soapy lake in the
annual statement of the trade and
commerce of Nicaragua This sheet
of water, the Lake of Nejapa, contains
a strong solution of bicarbonate of
potash, bicarbonate of soda and sui
phate of magnesia. This water, when
rubbed on any greasy object, at once
forms 1ather." The report says it is
used as hair wash, and enjoys a
local reputation as cure for external
and internal complaints. The Nicara-
guans are not conspicuous for COM
mercial enterprise, but during the
year they managed to export -four
demijohns'' of this wonderful water to
the neighboring Guatemala.

Flock of Tanned wild turkeys.

Charles Baker, Orange county, Fla,
writes: Over at Clay Springs, where
we go for the bathing, Major Skinner,
the lessee, is the game warden. and he
has gradually baited in a flock of wild
turkeys. and now they are quite
tame. He feeds them twice a day.
They come stalking in a long line
and feed, no matter how many peo-
pie are present. There are some
forty-three in all, and they make
fine sight, and unless you run at them
or make quick gestures or a sudden
noise they will let you get very close
to them-say ten or fifteen yards.
They seem much longer legged
than the domestic turkey, with the
muscular part of the leg not so large
or prominent, necks little longer
and heads smaller. Their plumage is
just like metal in appearance.-Forest

Odd Pair of Chums,

Ireland is full of pigs and pig
stories, but America can beat her at
both. There is a plantation on the
eastern shore of Maryland where old
methods prevail. The horn blows for
dinner at high noon, and among those
who until recently never failed to re-
spond was a strangly assorted cou-
plea pig and a pointer. The pig
was bought for the larder, 1ong-leg-
ged, gray, pink-eyed razorback with
an enormous snout. His head was
so heavy that it overbalanced his
hinder parts, rendering it necessary to
tie a weight to his tail so that he
could root. Dan, the pointer, and Lot,
the pig, took to each other so chum-
mily that the owner decided to leave
them to work out their own destiny.
