Toms Last Fire Run.

Tom. the night horse of engine
No. 80, which has quarters in the
Fire Headquarters Building in East
Sixty-seventh Street, died In harness
on Wednesday night, after twenty
years of faithful service to the city.
He was a roam and was of powerful
build. He loved the service, and even
in his old age he was as quick to take
his place in front of the engine at
the sound of the gong as either of
the two younger horses that pulled
the machine with him.
II was this enthusiasm that caused
his death at the end of run to a
fire.
Tom was the first to get under the
drop harness when the alarm sound
ed. The metal collar dropped to the
floor before the animal was ready to
receive 1t. One Of the crew sprang
forward to pick It up, but Tom put
down his head. poked his nose under
the collar. and threw IL over his neck
and the fireman snapped 1t In place.
The alarm called the company to

Autos Spread Glandcrs.

Odd as II seems, the rapid increase
of automobiling in Great Britain is
held to be answerable for the spread
of glanders among horses in the
country. The accusation was brought
at a meeting of the Central Associat-
ed Chambers Of Commerce, where the
reporter of the cattle diseases COM
mittee said that glanders was form
erly almost entire confined to London.
Since horse traffic in the metropo-
lis has ben largely and increasingly
replaced by motor omnibuses and
motor cars, however, the disease had
been scrattered through the country
by the sale there of London's aban-
doned horses.
Meanwhile the disease is cores
pondingly decreasing in London

Princess Of Waies Knits.

Because of her devc ion to her chill
dren, the Princess Wales is called
an "old fashioned" mother, to dis
tinguish her from the smart set
mothers who regard their offspring
as bore.
Whenever it is possible she takes
her youngsters with her. They are
on the scene at many public func-
tions where the Princess figures, and,
being unable to take them to the
courts at Buckingham Palace, she in
variably visits their rooms before
starting.
The Princess has impaired her love
of needlework to her little daughter
Princess Victoria, who sews and
knits quite nicely. The Princess of
Wales is hardly ever without a piece
of knitting. 1t is joke against her
that she took her knitting with her
on her honeymoon, and even while
visiting country houses now she knits

Crochet covered and braid buttons
are very popular.
There are some combinations of
brown and black that are particular
ly modish.
A little v of white velvet at the
throat is a becoming touch upon one
of the dark, long haired fur coats.
The style of decorating with short
bits of braid or velvet straps termin'
ating in fancy buttons permits many
variations.
The soft draped tam crown of vel
vet or jetted lace is in evidence upon
some of the smart millinery models
of the season.
Those with whom the poppy design
is a favorite will find many lovely
ones among the silver gift things of
the season.
In new skirts there is a decided
preference for length of line effect
ed by pleats, panels, etc, in place of
round and round trimmings.
There is no hard and fast rule as
to hair dressing now, and consequent
ly everybody is at liberty to select
the most becoming fashion.
Fancy buttons made by sewing
gathered lace to cover moulds, and
sentered by jet or steel nail head
or a colored bead, ornament many
costumes.

Government Salaries.

Is there any reason why the en-
ployees of the Postoffice Department
should be singled out among all
those in the government service for
increase In pay? Postmaster Gener-
al Cortelyou, in his annual report,
transmits to Congress the request
for such an advance. There is little
doubt that the ability of the coun-
try to pay, as well as the cost of liv-
ing. has greatly increased in the last
fifteen years, and that wages in the
government departments have not
even been raised proportionately
with those in private employment
We believe the letter carriers and
postal clearks need higher pay, and
should have 1t. But they do not need
1t any more than do Uncle Sans

Nervous Woman stopped Coffee and

No better practical proof that cot

note how the nerves become unstrung

The stomach, too, rebels at being
continually drugged with coffee and
tea-they both contain the drug
caffeine. Ask your doctor.
An la. woman tells the old story
thus:
II had used coffee for six years and
was troubled with headaches, ner-
vousness and dizziness. In the morn
ing upon rising used to belch up a
sour fluid regularly.

society,s Newest Fad.

London is promised an age of the

woman has fantastic mental palate
she demands change and novelty. AS
one leader was overhead to say, mo
one plays bridge now" OF course,
everybody, i. e., the grande dame
who can think for herself, must have
sor1ething else to fill the hours de-
voted to bridge for several years.
And she has decided to be intel
lectual; Mile. Scialtiel, talented and
very attractive French woman, has
been selected as guide and Victor
HSgo as the subject in this intellec-
tual flight. The first "causerie" took
place the other day at Claridge's un-
der most distinguished patronage, a
countess, viscountess, baroness and
baronet's lady and some of the lesser
rank giving the cachet of their names
OF course, the talk was in French,
and il was rather noticeable that the
ladies of Mayfair are a little-just a
little--rusty in their French. No
doubt in few months, when the fad
had percolated to the lower strata of
society, French will become really
second tongue in London. There is
now a fear that in place of the some
times extremely poor music with
which a hostess tortures her guests
for the hour after dinner society may
have to endure recitations from
Hugo, de Musset and other Gallo
poets delivered in very insular
French. But even an intellectual fad
is better than everlasting bridge

Birds That Eat Scale Insects.

All told, 81 species of birds have
been found to eat scale insects. 1t is
interesting to note that this number
comprises representatives of IL fami-
lies, differing widely not only in struc-
ture but in habits. They were dis
tributed as follows: Nine woodpeck-
ers, two jays, three orioles, eight spar
rows, one waxwing, six viroes, II war
blers, two wrens, one tree creeper, two
nuthatches and eight tits of the tit
house family, one kinglet and one
gnatcatcher of the Old World war
bier family, and the varied thrush and
the bluebird.
At first thought 1t seems strange
that the large birds should take the
trouble to pick up such small insects as
scales. Yet the numerous representa-
ton of woodpeckers on the list and
the fact that the grosbeaks among the
bulkier species are most conspicuous
scale destroyers prove it unsafe to as
sumo that a direct relation exists be-
tween the size of bird and its insect
food. At the other extreme of size
among scale eaters are some veritable
feathered midgets, as. for example, the
ruby-crowned kinglet. the black-tailed
gnatcatcher. and the bush-tit, the last
of which makes more than one-fifth
Of its food of scales.
Among the majority of these birds,
both great and small, there is notice
able one similarity of habit. They are
tree frequenters. On their arboreal ex-
cursions they must constantly come
across scale insects, and as the latter
are no doubt nutritious and are tooth
some to the avian taste. 1t is only ma
tural that birds should feed upon them.
A few species which do not often
visit trees, but which are included
among the birds known to eat scales,
probably secure them very rarely.-In-

Care for the Nest.

Do yon know that you can train a
hen to be a poor lays'?
Do you know that she can and will
keep her eggs when ready to lay for
whole day?
If this condition is allowed to con-
tinue she may and probably will lay
fewer and fewer eggs, finally becoming
an Indifferent layer, hence the neces-
sity of having plenty of clean, comfort
able nests.
Did you ever notice how shyly the
young pullet will go about looking for
a secret place where she may stealthily
deposit her precious eggs?
How very particular she is about it,
If there is an insufficient number
of nests, or if they are unclean, or
too much exposed she is likely, after
some delay, to lay the egg on the floor
and among the other hens, which may
lead to egg eating.
Comfort is Cne Of the essentials of
egg productions. and what is more
necessary than handy, clean and COM
