SILK THREAD IN NEST.
Bright Material. Made Trouble for
Home-Building Robins.

ut is astonishing" says a bird
lover, where and how birds manage
to find OF steal the variety of materi-
ais they use in building their nests.
1.-TWO robins are now building in a
tree close to my window, and besides
twigs, blades of dried grass, horse
hairs, and other things that might be
expected, one of them brought a skein
of blue silk thread. 1t had been stolen
from somewhere, and was evidently
regarded by both the robins as a very
valuable acquisition, for after bring
ing it to the nest there was a long,
animated discussion as to what ought
to be done with it. 1t would not do
to use it on the outside, for it's color
was so bright that it would attract at
~tention to the nest, so after a world of
talk about it, the silk was finally dis
posed of by twining it round and
round on the inside. There it be-
came the cause of further-trouble, for
the male bird, leaving the nest, found
it tangled with his claws, and pulled it
nearly all out, being roundly scolded
by the lady bird for his carelessness.
1t took hours to put it all back again
and prevent a recurrence of a similar
accident, but things were finally adj
justed to the satisfaction of both
birds, and though could not see, l
think they covered up the silk with
bits of paper for saw them carrying
fragments Or newspaper and wrappers
and apparently very busy slowing
them away inside"

Need a Good Bank.

A good bank is a valuable asset for
the small town. During these days
OF prosperity people of almost every
community have a surplus amount of
money to deposit in the bank, or to
invest in a way that will bring a
fair margin of interest. Lately a sys-
TEN has grown up of doing a banking
business by mail. Alleged savings
banks and investment companies in
large cities advertise widely offering
six to seven per cent. interest on de-
posits. Many who have little knowl-
edge of financial affairs make depos-
its in these banks. The Lincoln bank
at Oak Park, ILL.,, was one of these in
stitutions that made great offers to
the people of agricultural districts in
order to ecure deposits. More than
$1,000 900 were deposited by farmers
and others in this concern. Within a
year it was declared unsound by the
United States authorities, the pro-
moter of it placed under arrest and
charged with fraud. The poor de-
luded depositors are not likely to re-
ceive five per cent. of their deposits.
Remember that when you send your
money from your local community it
ceases to be any factor in developing
home or in adding to the
wealth of the place. It is better al
ways to %patronize home banks than
banks far away.

OLD ENGLISH SHRINE
Of PECULIAR INTEREST 70 THE
PSYCHOLOGIST.
one of the Earliest EmbIems of Chris
tianity to Be Found in Britain
Known as ST. Piran's Cross.

In various parts of the countryside
Of England are seen old stone crosses
Of a byglne age which in themselves
are objects of much interest, for apart
from the meaning of their construc-
ton many have histories of their own.
OF these early emblems of Christi
anity We show one of exceptional in
terest to the tourist to England, ST.
Piran's cross, at PerranZabuloe. 1t
should be mentioned that the meaning
Of the Cornish round headed cros--
es," as they are called, is that the
cross signifies redemption" and the
circle eternity" q
The associations of this cross are
woven around st. Piran, who vas born
in the sixth century in Ireland and
was sent over to Cornwall on a mis-
sion. Here, or Perran Sands, he built
A chapel which was religiously used
for many years by the villagers round
about; but in the course of time the
shifting sands threatened and finally
enveloped the little building. How
ever, the good seeds sown by the saint
among the simple folk had good effect
and they were not to be lone out of
their shrine. Consequently, in the
ninth century they built another

WIDENING THE FIELD
MAKING GREATER OPPORTUNITY
FOR SONS OF FARMERS.
BUILDING UP THE HOME TOWN
Some Causes for Complaint Which
Can Be obliterated by the
United Efforts Of the
People.

How often do we hear it said that
the young man has not the opportun-
ity that the young man Of a score of
years ago had. How great is the COM
plant of trusts and combinations
which control industries to the detri-
ment of the smaller ones in business,
and how often is reference made to
business concentration in the large
cities at the cost of the smaller
towns.
Innovations in business methods
have been many. 1t may be said that
this is an era of economical methods;
that evolution is going or continually
broadening the field for individual
effort and making possible the opera
ton of mammoth enterprises. There
can be nc doubt as to the detrimental
effects upon small towns of this bust
ness concentration in the larger cities.
Pessimists deplore the lack of oppor-
tunity for the young men of to-day.
At the same time the large corpora
lions put forth the cry that there is a
scarcity of the right kind of material
for important places of trust. How
ever this may be, there is one thing
evident, and that is, small towns being
kept from advancing narrows the
field for the young men who would
otherwise enjoy an opportunity to en-
gage in business.
Travelling to the large city for en-
ployment, the youth, perhaps, seeks a
clerkship at moderate wages. There
are thousands of others that he must
compete with In the rae for success.
His field is narrowed. 1t is not often
that he has fair competition, and ia
voritism he finds is one of the obstruc-
tons in his way. One Of the cures
for this condition is to devise means
of charging the scope and Importance
of the so-called country towns.
There is no economical reason why
the large city should have the bust
ness that rightfully belongs to the
small town. There is no saving in
buying goods at a distant point even
though a small percentage may be
saved directly. Whenever a resident
of a community sends his money to
some other community for the neces-
sites that he requires, he robs his
W home town of a certain amount
OF business. Employment is given to
the people of the large city instead of
the people of the local community.
1t has been estimated that more
than so per cent. of the trade goes
from some communities to larger
cities. If this trade were given to the
home town, it would Immediately dou-
BILE it's business Importance and give a
corresponding increase in employment
for the people. This means that the
population of the town would be lin
creased and the opportunity for en-
gaging in business would be greater.
Not only this, but it is an established
principle that values of farm lands to
a great extent are dependent upon the
activity of the town near which the
farms may be located. Thus it is
plain that if the sons of farmers
would have greater opportunities open
to them for engaging in business, it
can be increased by closely adhering
to the home trade and home protec-
ton principle, which widens the local
field for individual effort in a business

PURELY FEMININE

for instance, a little-known fact that
the slanting Monaghan eyes are really
perfectly straight. 1t is only the
formation of the skin surrounding the
eye, accentuated by the extremely
slanting eyebrow, hat gives this de-
.ceptive appearance.
1t is easy TO see, therefore, why
the beauty of the eyebrows is OF i'm
portance to her who would aspire TO
good looks in any form. 1t is neces-
sary that she keep them in good con-
dition, fostering any good feature they
may possess and correcting whatever
faults they have. She should first OF
all consider just what shape, thick
ness, etc.. of the eyebrows would con-
stitute beauty, and then devote her
self to the reaching of that point.
The perfect eyebrow is in form an
arch, not too high, yet distinctly
curved. 1t should be rather thick
than thin, yet excessive thickness is
the worst defect it could show. The
two eyebrows should be perfectly dis
tinct, with not even II hair between
them, and yet not 50 far apart as to
show poor mental caliber. They
should be of a shade slightly darker
than the hair, but not noticeably so.
Finally, they should match the color
of the lashes exactly.
Perhaps the most common fault is
excessive thickness of the brows, &C
companied by a number of wild hairs.
There is but one eur for this condi-
tion-removal with a pair of tweezers.
The operation causes no nor pain
than when a hair is pulled from the
head, and may be performed by ones
self. Use ordinary small tweezers,
such as physicians employ to pick up
surgical cotton, and pull out one hair
at a time, taking care that each really
comes out, and is not simply broken
Off.
OF course, this treatment will not
destroy the hair follicles, but with
perseverance these, too, will go, and
the hairs will appear no more. If
any itching or smarting is felt after
the pulling, apply a little cold cream,
but remove as soon as the pain
ceases, as otherwise you defeat your
own object, cold cream having a ten
dency to raise hair.

Doc Gave Life to Save Girl,

Carrie. her faithful spaniel, is dead,
but Emile Schlichting, the five-year-
old mistress of the curly haired pet,
is safe, so at 50 Cranberry street,
Brooklyn, there is rejoicing and sor
row at the same time, says the New
York world. For Carrie, who kneE
more than some humans, saved the
life of the child the other afternoon,
and gave her own in the saving.
Emile is the daughter of William
G. ~Schlichting, a wholesale grocer.
Every day she and the dog went out
for a stroll together, with Carrie on a
leash, SO Emile would not get lost.
The other day they took their walk
as usual, and were crossing Hicks
street at Middaugh, when a truckman
suddenly swung his horses toward
them.
To those who looked on it seemed
that the little girl could not escape
and Carrie, too, seemed to realize the
danger. She sprang to one side, and
with a tug at the leash threw her
little mistress off her balance. Emile
fell sprawling on the pavement out of
the way of the horses hoofs. But the
moment it had taken the dog to save
its mistress cost the animal it's life.
A hoof felled the dog and a wheel
crushed it.

some friend in charge to see that all
persons are asked to the dining-room.
This necessary individual not being
present, it is immaterial who makes
the suggestion, but perhaps the lady
should take the lead. L is always
more convenient for a man to be seat
ed on the right hand side.
1t is proper to introduce a man to a
woman always, no matter what the
age of the latter, and if it is two men
or two women to be introduced, it is
always the younger to the older.
1t all depends on the hour and init
macy of the friendship whether a
young man goes into the house. If
it is late the escort usually knows
what is best to do and takes his de-
parture at once.
While many authorities say that a
man must ask for the privilege of
calling, which, of course, is correct, l
think it is not at all out of the way If
a girl like a man to say, I'VE are at
home on such al evening and would
be glad to have you call"

Potatoes Made into Pencils

Potatoes are now being used in
Germany in place of cedar wood for
the manufacture oflead pencils. The
product is a trifle heavier than cedar.
but the pencils are the same size as
those now in use, and the cost is
much less. According to recent sta
tistics, the export from Germany to
foreign countries equaled 1876 tons.
with a te.al number of pencils at
1898, 100000. The cedar wood used
at present in the manufacture of lead
pencils is expensive and the quantity
limited, while on the other hand, the
cultivation of potatoes is advancing
each year. For these reasons this in
vention will mark the beginning Of
a new era in the production of lead
pencils.

HELPS THE LINGERIE DRESS.
Ribbon Run Through Beading Has
Charming Effect.

Nowadays the lingerie dress has
done away with the unsightly safety
pin that used to keep the skirt and
waist together, and most of them are
put together at the waist line with a
piece of insertion or some other trim
ming. But most popular of all for
the tall girl who wants to outline her
waist is a piece of beading through
which is run a soft ribbon about two
inches wide. At the left side of the
waist is put a full bow, with two short
ends tackled up on the waist and q
couple of long loops and ends falling
down oyer the skirt. Finish the
sleeves in the same and run
the ribbon through the beading, fin
ished at the top of the elbow with a
full bow with rather long ends hang
ing down hiding the sharp lines of the
elbow joint. Do this on a simple mus
lin frock, with nothing but machine
tucks, and the effect is charming. The
Dresden ribbon seems most popular
of all this year, and has been put on

Cats Tenacity of Life.

An instance of the remarkable vi.
tality possessed by the cat has just
been demonstrated at Herbling, near
Billingsborough, England. A very
fine cross-bred Persian mysteriously
disappeared from its home. and six
teen days later vas found in an open
field secured in a rabbit trap.
Notwithstanding the animals long,
painful confinement and exposure
to the heavy rains, it was still alive.
1t was, however, reduced to a mere
skeleton, and vas unable IL walk.
But under proper treatment ii IS now
recovering. That the cat HI been
in> the trap all the time is beyond
question, as otherwise it would have
returned home to a kitten which it
was sucking at the date of its dis
appearance.

BOAR RUNS IN
Draws Master About Like a Horse in
a Specially Designed Gig.

M. Tronget, living at Montlucon,
France, has perhaps the most curious
turnout in the whole world. Some
time ago M. Tronget captured a wild
boar with the aid of his keeper in the
Tronca's forest. This animal he has
trained.
At first it was a most difficult mat
ter for M. Tronget- to get his boar to
run in harness, but by dint of much
perseverance and more whipping it
was at last brought to docility and
obedience. Then a specially designed
gig was built for it, and the animal
was made to draw his master. about
Just like a horse. The boar is now
:wo years old, and this strange equi-
page can be seen almost every day at
Montlucon, where the peasants have
become so used to the sight that they
40 loroer notice that it is strange.
The animal eats roots and leaves,
which are gathered fresh every day
rCr it in the woods where 1t was
caught.

Kitty Brinus Up Mice.

A motherly old cat, who has made
her home in the grocery department
of the Lyle Mercantile company, has
them a home in the place of her five
kittens, which were drowned, says a
Meridian, Miss, Correspondent.
The mice were caught alive by the
cat IN the day following her bereave-
ment. She placed them in the box
formerly occupied by the kittens, and
her vigil prevents them from escap-
ing. The cat carries food to the
strange f%oundlings.
