Good Colors For houses.

It is not generally known-not
even among painters--why certain
tints and colors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge of just what tints are best
to use is, therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that thos, 'colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays OF the
sun will protect house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because
it turns back, or reflects, the red
rays, and the red rays are the hot
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, so far as wear is concerned.
In choosing the color of paint for
your house, select reds, browns.
grays and olives which,. considering
the various tones these tints will
produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows like lemon), cold greens
like grass green, etc., and the
blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, if adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used,
but if one is careful to use the best
white lead-some well-known brand
of reliable manufacturer-and gen.
uine linseed oil, the warm tints men
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold colors.

Trimmings For Sailor Hats.

n chic way of trimming sailor
hat is to use both the cachepelgne
of ribbon loops and the rosette. Take
a little sailor shape, for instance, OF
pale blue chip. Use for its trimming
a delicate gray wing; fasten the wing
to the right side of the crown with
two flat rosettes of white maine,
edged with a narrow little pleatlng
Of silver ribbon. The wing should
be caught between the rosettes' Now.
to give the hat the character II
needs, add a beauty touch of many
loops of black velvet ribbon at the
back. Another smart combination OF
color to use in hat of this sort is
to have the hat itself cream color,
the wing white and the rosette white,
edged with little pleating OF gold
ribbon. Then instead of using black
velvet ribbon for the cachepeigne
have the velvet loops in golden
brown.-Grace Margaret Gould, IL
the Woman's Home Companion.

The comfort of the shirt waist

Seeking to Save.

Christ is in all His redeemed, as
the soul of their soul, the life OF
their life. He is the plying heart
and the helping hand of God with
every needy, praying spirit In the
world. He is the sweet light of the
knowledge Of God that breaks IN up
on every penitent heart.
He is not only with those who be-
lieve in Him and love Him, but also
with those who neither believe in
Him nor love Him, that He may be
to them also Jesus their Saviour.
The Christ of God is. in thy heart,
waiting and aiming to get the con-
sent of thy will, that He may save
thee. Wherever man is, there also
is Christ, endeavoring to free him
from the law Of sin and DEATH by
becoming Himself the law of the
spirit of his liie.-John Pulsford.

The Berkshires.

The land of magnificent estates, pictur
esque farms and comfortable summer
homes and camps-the Berkshire Hills!
Here in Western Massachusetts-only q
few hours from all the large cities of the
East-is a country that, for years, has at
tracted to it both the wealthy and the
middle classes; the one to spend the sum-
mer months upon extensive estates; the
other to occupy farmhouse, cottage, or
tent.
The charms of the Berkshires have been
told in story and poem. Many of our most
famous authors have found there The rest
and quiet that enabled them to give US
masterpieces that will live as long as the
old hills among which they were inspired
and written.
The New York Central Lines extend di
rectly through the hill country and make
this fascinating region easy Of access to tho
traveller from East or West. There are
few vacation spots in the world more at
tractive than these beautiful Berkshire
Hills on Americas Greatest Railroad"

In Every Leaf That Fails.

The Nantes market gardeners, the
most expert commercial cultivators
in France, owe their success primari-
ly to the use of leaves of trees as
fertilizer. The leaves that fall from
the trees in the district are carefully
collected each autumn. They are
put into heaps with loan and are left
to decay. The result is a compost
far more valuable than can be pro-
vided by the aid of loan and manure
Freshly gathered leaves from trees
are also used as mulch to protect
crops from frost during the winter
months, with excellent results. They
are also dried and used freely for
bedding material for horses and
COWS. The manure thus obtained is
far more valuable than that furnished
by the aid of straw. In English
agricultural circles straw is con-
sidered to be of greater fertilizing
value than leaves. This is an error.
Scientific investigation has disclosed
the fact that decayed leaves are OF
greater fertilizing value than even
manure. In pear leaves the contents
of nitrogen was 1.S6 per cent; in oak
leaves 1.1S per cent; in poplar, 0.75
Der cent; beech, 0.7S per cent; elm,
0.73 per cent, and in the vine O.35
per cent. A comparison with leaves
and manure in respect to their fer
tilizing properties disclosed the fol-
Loving facts: forty-four pounds OF
pear leaves, eighty pounds of poplar,
fifty-one pounds of peach, eighty-two
pounds of elm and 174 pounds OF
vine respectively are equal in nitro
gen to 100 pounds of manure. A
valuable table might be compiled
showing the fertilizinz value of the
leaves of all of the various English
trees. 1t is known to some garden
ers that the most delicious sea kale
forced in this country is obtained by
the aid of a thick and closely packed
mulching of tree leaves London

The Fathers Lullaby.

who pitied her, You are mourning

A Musical Nation,

Whether the English are to be
considered a musical nation or not
has long been a much disputed point.
They may not wax very enthusiastic
over the enormous amount Of con-
certs which every London season
brings in it's train, but they certainly
accord full appreciation to the Wen
nese Philharmonic Orchestra, who
can, in every way, be gratified and
contented with their success. Through
their efforts Austrian music has been
placed on the summit of musical
fame.-Die Zeit, Vienna.

SALLOW FACES.
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

coffee so disturbs digestion that it

Coffee has proven a means, in thou

all had stomach troubles more Or

simply so many bundles of nerves.
I'VE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one
day we ran out OF coffee and went to
borrow some from neighbor. She
gave us some Postum and told US to
try that.
"Although we started to make it
we all felt sure we would be sick if
we missed our strong coffee, but We
were forced to try Postum and were
surprised to find it delicious.

Africa Sinking Into the Sea.

Writing to johannesburg paper,
a correspondent expresses alarm at
the view of scientist that Africa is
gradually sinking into the ocean. But
his fears were calmed when it was
pointed out to him that, according to
the same scientific authority, the
downward progress of the continent
is so slow that it will be many thou
sands of years before water sweeps
the surface. 1t is anticipated that
long before the disaster arises every
mineral will have been abstracted
from sthe soil.
