GUINEA HENS.

They Would Be Popular IL Their
Value Were Better Understood.
In many localities the guinea hen is
considered ais kind of novelty or
nuisance about the place. It does not
seem to be thoroughly well understood
that the eggs of the guinea hen are
highly valued by bakers for cake max.
ing and that the young guinea fowl
win bring the highest price Of any
broiler upon the market, says the
Feather. If more attention were given
to the selection Of the breeding stock,
preventing too close inbreeding and
providing separate house away from
the chickens for the guinea fowls, their
cultivation might become more general
ana profitable. Guinea hens may be
taught to live almost the same as
chicken hens. The trouble experienced
from keeping guinea fowls in buildings
or poultry houses Is the overpowering
influence Of mites and lice upon them.
They are much more easily destroyed
by lice and mites than the chickens.
The young Of the guinea hen scarcely
exist at all when once attacked by lice
or mites, which quickly destroy them.
Guinea hens live out in the open,
build their nests or select their nests
under an old stump, a stone or in some
out Of the way place. When once they
locate their nest and lay few eggs
therein they continually remain about
fhe locality, and it is not difficult for

How to Apply Wax Polishes.

Wax polishes specially prepared for
calfskin shoes should be put on with a
brush and then rubbed briskly with q
hair or felt brush and, to get a finished
luster, with soft cotton cloth, says
the washington Star. Be sure to brush
out the dust before putting calf shoes
away, for they are usually so oily that
gritty dirt works into the pores Of the
leather and in time cracks it. When
buying polishes ask for one to be used
on calfskin, for those prepared for
velour, box or Russia feathers will
crack the calf just as the backing
made specially for calfslin will split
any of these three feathers if constant
" used. The dull or gun metal finished
feathers should not be shined. Instead
a paste made of glycerin. lampblack
and turpentine must be worked Into
the leather so it will retain the Oily
appearance SO much admired now.

HOW : Woman May Appear Slim.

If you wish to look slim, don't dress
III white or light colored materials
shun all large patterns. Stripes are
more becoming than spots or checks
but narrow, not broad, stripes should
be worn. Choose a material the pat
tern of which runs in perpendicular
lines. Short skirts are still very be
coming. Flowing draperies, on the
other hand, give grace. A long, cen
trail line Of trimming from throat e
hem adds certain height; SO does 9
single dounce at the foot Of the skirt
Many frills should be avoided. e

up smartly.

minute. Be good girl and run out to
the kitchen for her.
Dot tiptoed to Blakeley's chair.
"Good night" she said coyly and put
up her lips.
The man kissed her tenderly, with
great lump in his throat. He had hoped
for many good night caresses from this
little one, but that hope no longer ex-
listed. As she disappeared he gazed
steadily at the woman opposite.
'sLet us have 1t over, Lois" he burt
ed. Il heard the news month ago.
Believe me, my dear, shall try to
think only of your happiness. Barker
will be a very happy man."

DON'T MARRY BY PHONE.
New York World.

New YORK World,
If the higher courts of Texas affirm
the decision of the Nolan county court
that telephone marriage is not a
legal marriage there will be rush of
remarriages in Texas. where the tele-
phone fad has been quite popular. The
S250,000 estate of the late Thomas
Wemberley, ranchman, is tied up on
this legal point. Upon his death, some
months ago, n contest of the will was
made by certain relatives, and the
question OF the legality of the mar
riage was raised by counsel for rela-
tves of the dead ranchman. This
question was fought upon every
ground. The court held that mar
rlage ceremony to be legal must be
solemnized by minister or Judge or
other authority in the presence of the
contracting parties and witnesses, all
OF whom shall attest the ceremony.
