Porch Rugs.

In the large rugs to be used in the
center of room on a hardwood floor
or on porch where room is fitted
out on it, the large Shakis are most
serviceable and are particularly eff
fective, for they come in such pretty
browns, greens, tans, with just sug-
gestion of color in the body made by
the introduction of conventionalized
Indian arrows, a combination of deli
cate reds, pinks, greens, oranges, etc.
Across either end they are finished
with a border in tones to match the
colors in the arrows and in white
fringe. These rugs are reversible
and the colors are all fast, and for
that reason they will be found par
ticularly satisfactory for use on a
porch or where they are constantly ex-
posed to the rain and sun.

WORK AND WORRY COMPARED.
The Former Blessing, the Last
VeritabIe Destroyer.

| Work means exercise, movement,
latent energy set free, and hence it
means life and health to the tissues
and renewed vigor to the organs also
as it strengthens the body and in
creases its physical powers of resist
ance it strengthens the will, teaching
patience, perseverance and fortitude;
and with the hope of future success is
born the courage to persevere.
1t is not the bedmaking, dishwash-
ing, sweeping, cooking, or laundry
work that wears you out, for these
hOmely duties of the housekeeper are
most wholesome ones, and the regular
bodily eXercise-varied as it is-that
such work inevitably carries with it
conducive to health and strength, not
sickness and death.
No, it is not your work that is kill
ing you; you are no worse off physical
ly for having to do without a servant;
and, indeed, you not only need not be
worse off, but would be actually better
off if you but willed it so, for it is the
way you take your work, the fact of
your allowing your work to fret and
worry you, and not the work itself
that wears upon your nerves and tenn
per, robs you of your self-control,
ruins in short time your disposition,
and eventually your health itself, de-
clares Nine. Hebe, in the Chicago In
ter-Ocean. If only | could help all you
dear "homemakers" to see this and
realize the actual physical benefit that
may be derived from your daily work
if you but approach the same with a
new spirit-a spirit to do and do
heartily each homely duty as it comes
to hand-I should feel that l had in
deed accomplished some good in this
beautiful world of ours.
Worry brings gray hairs and
wrinkles, ugly frowns, and soured tenn
pers; but work brings health and sun
shine, good digestion, and real enjoy
ment of the good things of this life.
Worry can take all the pleasure out
of daily duties and do more harm to
the tissues and organs than many
hours of gymnastic training or spe-
cial massage can cure; but work gives
them wholesome exercise and makes
the body strong in all ways.

which is in use for tablecloths and

the firm edge comes nearer the center.

PECULIAR MEANS OF Defense
Small pasecrs Of Light Sent Out by
the Centipede.

Among the peculiar powers CT ami

than the power of being self-luminous.

NAL A correspondent of Nature de-
scribes her experience with a lumi-
nous centipede which shows the evil
dent purpose of the luminous sub
stance as a means of defense. Atten-
ton was first attracted by light OF
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward over the gravel, leaving behind
trail of light, which, gradually sep
arating, became a scattered mass OF
brilliant points. The scattered points
proved to be red ants, which were pur-
suing the centipede 1t had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put in
a tumbler where it flashed out
mass of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive, a strange
prickly sensation was felt as from
slight charge of electricity. The CEN
tipede would writhe the light out OF its
body in blue-green flashes until it had
exhausted it's luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly to
be one of the uses of this secretion.

Worlds Cotton Consumption.

The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was 49,
6S4,146 bales annually, and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next five year
period the average will be nearly 49,
100000 bales annually, and the prices
will be much higher than in the pre-
vious period. This indicates a pros
porous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer. as well as for the
export trade.

THlEVINe SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF
Robins Successfully Defend Nest

A pair of robins proved too much
for marauding squirrel in Independ-

midair cruise he suddenly stopped as
though something special had attract

down the tree in a slow, unconcerned
manner. The secret was out when
he shyly began the ascent of another

of the redbreasts had built their nest

whole manner that of a thief, he

The retreat of the squirrel was quick

Der advanced, and was so successful
as to get one of the eggs in his paws
before the birds came to the rescue.
The squirrel was nonplussed, as he
couldn't back down with the egg with
the birds pecking him, and he was
loath to relinquish his hard-won prize.
His hesitation was fatal, though, as
the birds, with a concerted rush, fair
ly showed him out of the nest, and the
robins followed him so quickly and
furiously that the egg was dropped
and smashed on the ground. The
squirrel then gave up his purloining

Everything goes wrong if the break
