An Artists Idea.

Can you use a paint brush even the
llttlest bit? Then you can turn any in
expensive lace you happen to have into

the design will scarcely know itself
after that same little leaf has been
touched a most delicate green. Where
there is a spray Of tiny roses the palest

wonderfully effective.

Your shoes.

LAX in their CATERS, lax IN their
gait" is an old saying which applies
we'll to the modern shoe and its wearer.
No shoe will keep in shape long unless
it is put on a tree when out of use.
These trees" are very cheap. but most
women look upon them as an extrava-
gance. Another rule Of the carefully
shod woman is to rest her shoes for
day or so and always wear different
pair indoors. Low shoes are better for
house wear, as they permit ventilation.
Select a strong calfskin for a walking
boot, keep it well oiled, and your pedes-
trian trips will be made in perfect com
fort. Keep an old pair Of shoes to wear
under rubbers. as the perspiration

GEM STUDDED SAW.
One Made In indianapolis Contains
Two Hundred Diamonds.


Two Hundred Diamonds.
An indianapolis Qnd) company that
manufactures saws recently complet-
ed a large saw containing 200 teeth,
with a Brazilian diamond imbedded in
each tooth, says the Indianapolis Sen
tinel. The saw was shipped to Bed
ford, Ind, to be used in one Of the big
stone quarries there.
The saw is eight feet in diameter,
five-sixteenths of an inch thick and
weighs almost half ton. Instead
Of having sharp teeth this peculiar saw
has almost a smooth edge. Secured
across the edge Of the outer rim are
200 inserted steel holders. Imbedded
in each is a large Brazilian diamond.
The diamond points compose the teeth
Of the saw, which win be used to cut
Indiana limestone into desired sizes.
The diamonds are about a carat in
size and are very dark. Each stone is
valued at 500. Two other saws, dupli-
Gates of the one recently completed
are in course of construction and repre-
sent a cost Of $4,000.

LOVE AND LAUGHTER.

These Are the Things That Make
Home Heaithful and Happy.
Love ana laugh.erl Have they not
been coupled since the world began?
The heart beats faster. the blood
courses merrily through the veins. the
world shows fairer, the beloved one
shows falrest of all. and, catching a
hint Of the infinite joyousness Of things
the ultimate happiness Of a one day
to be perfected creation-the lover
laughs.
The woman who can make her lover
laugh is clever, but the wife who can
keep her husband laughing is one Of
the seven wonders Of the world.
Depressions, III beath, worries, quar-
rcls-all these cease TO be when one can
laugh. Learn 70 charm the heaviness
from your husbands brow. the moodl-
ness from his mien. and you will reign
in his heart for all time. Does it seem
a little thing TO provoke laughter, a
think hardly within the scope of the
dignity Of q wife? That is where so
many women make a great mistake.
There are many times in mans life
when he longs for the gayety Of a
sweetheart.
There is, you see, so much Of the frol-
icsome schoolboy left in man even
when he has put away boyish things.
The mischievous spirit is eager to show
itself could it but obtain opportunity,
Don't check it. Never mind II your
dignity is a wee bit ruhled or you have
perforce to join in the laugh against
yourself Laughter breaks no bones,
the saying goes. and again, Laugh and
grow fat."-Broclton Times.

The scrim I.aundrv Bag.

No one can know the comfort that Is
to be found in the laundry bag until
she tries one. As soon as a kerchief or
collar is soiled into the bag 1t goes,
and when wash day comes there is no
skurrying about for the soiled clothing.
The best and the cheapest bag is the
one that can itself be laundered. Take
two lengths of linen scrim, whatever
length the bag is to be, and sew them to-
gether at the bottom and almost to the
top. Wind with white tape two en-
broldery hoops. Over these hoops hem
the upper ends of the bag. Line the
scrim with a washable color or with
plain white. If ribbon is used for
winding the hoops match it to the color
of the lining and make four tiny bows
to ornament the top.
When the rings are separated the bag
should open wide enough to take in a
good sized garment. 1t is an easy mat
ter to close the bag by hanging the
rings over a hook.
The bags lined with color are partic'
ularly pretty for the babys clothing.

A woman who never worries de

comfortable and as cheerful as possi-

chair with the short legs is restful. A
rocking chair, if the kitchen is large

them raised or lowered. Many back

Thirty Million for Irrigation.

AdHaeioH service, tnuS writes
OF the work that has been done by
the government since the passage of
the irrigation law, three years ago:
"A rare day in June. three years
ago, was the 18th of that month.
the anniversary of the battle of
Bunker Hill and the birthday of the
national irrigation Jaw. And the
net result of the latter, at the be-
ginning of the present fiscal year, is
an irrigation appropriation of
$50, 200, 900, with an automatic re
volving law under which the fund is
constantly increasing through addi-
tions from the sales Of western pub
lie lands and the repayment to the
government by the settlers of all
expenditures for irrigation construc-
ton.
1.-The anniversary this year Of
Bunker Hill-National Irrigation Day
was duly celebrated in Nevada as in
Boston, in the former com m onw ealth
at the Truckee Irrigation project in
the presence of party of distin-
guished United States Senators and
Representatives and government Of
ficials who witnessed the opening of
the first completed government irri-
CATION works and the turning of
600, 900 gallons Of water per minute
into a great government canal.
"This ceremony meant great
deal for the idea of American home
making under national auspices.
Fifty thousand acres received their
first government irrigation-the
finished portion Of a vast project for
the reclamation of $50, 200 acres at
cost Of nine million dollars, under
the guidance of L. III. Taylor,
federal reclamation engineer for
Nevada. Within ten years the cost
of irrlgating this SO, 900 acre tract

turned to the government by the
settlers paying for the water rights
IN ten annual installments to be ap-
piled by the government to the con-
tinuation of the project. The pos
sibilities of this revolving irrigation
fund are indeed very great.
"Were there TO be no additions
to the reclamation fund, its present
thirty million dollars would event
ually reclaim the west. But with
the large yearly additions which
have been coming in, it Is destined
before many years to reach the
800, 100000 mark and become a
vast fund for the redemption OF
