PATTERN FOR REFooTiNe STOCK.
iNGS.

Pattern No. 5769.-The usefulness
OF this pattern will be apparent at
once to the economical woman, as it
is Well known that the soles of stock
ings wear out long before the leg por-
ton, and have to be darned over and
over again. This pattern gives two
different soles, both equally good and
shaped so that the seams will not
cause any discomfort to the wearer,
as darned stockings sometimes do.
Expensive silk stockings may be
made to do duty twice as long when
refooted in this way. The upper part
Of the old stocking will cut the soles
for pair.
Pattern for Rejoicing Stocking. No.

Cat Laughter?

What was the origin of the phrase
enough to make cat laugh?' DR.. Muir
rays dictionary notices only enough to
make cat speak" which is explained
as signifying something extraordi-
nary, especially something very good
to drink. ''Old liquor able to make a
cat speak" is quoted from an early
eighteenth-century source, and there
with Stephano's remark to Caliban is
compared: open your mouth; here
is that which will give language to
you, cat" Miss Squeers' maidservant
said that only to see Miss Squeers'
friend, Miss Price, toss her head was
enough to make a Tom-cat talk
French grammar" But even that is
not exactly laughing. Has it anything
to do with the mythical Cheshire ami
NAL?

4 SPRING opening everywhere!
~ In the shop windows, an open
~ ing of delicate fabrics sprigged
with flowers that might make
nature envious; of airy, fairy hats,
trimmed in stolen bits of rainbow; of
irresistible sugar eggs, chocolate rab-
bits and yellow-down chickabiddies.
In the fields, an opening of leaf and
blossom and meadow lark's song.
In the churches, an opening of tomb
and an angel of life in place of the
dead. The opening of human hearts
in love toward God, man, and the lit
tie sparrow; the opening of hands
outstretched to the unfortunate and
the shining. 1t is Eastertide.
- While the resurrection from the
dead is the pivotal belief upon which
the whole Christian faith turns, the
word Easter is of pagan origin, Eastre
being the Saxon name of an old Teu-
tonic goddess who was the persona
fcation of morning and spring. Like
wise, in many of our Easter observ.
ances Christianity has laid it's i'm
toms-the joy in the new spring life
that leaped so high a fame in the
bontires upon the hillsides now stead
lily cleaning in altar taper, and spring
flowers once faily gathered for out
door festival song and dance now
reverently crowding the churches.
Our own earliest recollections of
Easter are flashing memories of those
first Easter eggs-red, yellow and
glorious royal purple-that rolled out
of fairyland into everyday life to
mystify our wondering eyes with their
strange beauty. And by happy coin
cidence, the egg is the oldest of the
symbols connected with Easter. In
fact, it it were an aspirant for mem
bership in some glass-case society of
antique superstitions 1t could trace
it's geneaology back to ancient Persia
and Egypt. The Persians, looking
upon their new year-which comes
on the 18th of March-as the renewal
of all things, celebrated the festival
by exchanging colored eggs. The
Egyptians considered an egg a sacred
emblem of the renovation of mankind
after the Deluge. From them, the
Jews adopted it. for a sign and SYM
Dol, it now becoming the triumphant
type of their departure from Egypt
and intimately associated with the
feast of the Passover, eggs always
being on the table with the paschal
lamb. The Christians loving tho dear
old family traditions, naturally gave
the egg a place of honor in the cele-
sbration of the paschal lamb, the
Easter egg being most fit emblem
OF the Resurrection, "the rising up
out the grave, in the same manner as
the chick, entombed, as it were, in
the egg, is in, due time brought to
life r. @S
The pretty custom of hunting for
Easter eggs originated in Germany,

MATING Poultry.

In the heavier varieties of fowls
no more than eight females should
be mated with one male; in the medi-
UNI weight varieties 10 to - is about
right; and in. the lighter varieties,
like the Leghorn, as many as Is usu-
ally prove satisfactory. One drake
to every four or five ducks makes a

are usually bred in trios. When

Hatch Early.

Z In raising poultry for market, usu.
ally the profit lies in Matching early,
pushing the chickens forward as rap
idly as possible and marketing them
early. Spring chickens at spring
prices pay better than fowls sold later
on, when, though the fowls weigh
more, there is not only the lower
price, but additional feed for perhaps
two or three months must be taken
into consideration.

DR.. Jonathan Hutchinson, one Of the

has been devoting himself for years to
the study Of leprosy and its causes,

English press his conclusions concern.

Not content with studying leprosy

original theory that lsprosy at all
times and in all countries is caused
In a great degree by the consumption

In India he found yegetarians ar.

Could Be Confidential,

A day or two after George B. Cor
telyou assumed the duties of secretary
of the treasury he was visited by an
elderly man who wanted an appoint
ment as confidential clerk to one. of
the assistant secretaries. Notwith-
standing the fact that he was very
busy at the time, Mr.. Cortelyou gave
the elderly person a hearing: On ac-
count of his age, Mr.. Cortelyou said,
he felt that he could not comply with
the request. So, gently but firmly, he
intimated to the old man that it was
about time for him to go. This, how
ever, did not dampen the latter's spirit
in the least why, sir" said he, "as
feel myself peculiarly competent to fill
one of these confidential clerkships T
hope that you will furthersconsiderm
application. Then wagging his head
most impressively, he added: ooh, Mr..
Cortelyou, I could be so CONFIDENTIAL

Some Of the old line reactionaries

Fercy Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Abe Bailey
were sent from South Africa to Lon

pleasure was set on giving such
treatment to the Beers as would keep
them satisfied and happy for all time,
and preclude the possibility of any
further conflict.
The task of preparing a constitution
that would secure all this, and at the
same time safeguard the interests Of
Britain, was entrusted to the lord

ever been known as friend of the

First Complaint.

For the first time in the history Of
the interstate commerce commission
there was complaint received there
by telegraph. It was from the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers association.
Just what the urgency of the case
was did not appear on the face of it,
though, of course, California is good
distance off by mail, and this is Gloss
to the shipping season for citrus
fruit. It was concerning the distribu-
ton of fruit cars by the Southern Pa
cific, and set out the grievance of the
association in full. There were 1875
words in the complaint, and while, of
course, that is not particularly long
for a newspaper dispatch over the
same distance, it is rather long for
business communication by telegraph.
It was, legally, well-written COM
plant, too, much freer from legal
verbiage than the average complaint,
but setting forth all the facts clearly
and concisely. Just how the sigma
lures would stand if closely ,ques-
toned in law would be question, but
the complaint has been regularly
filed, and will be made the basis Of
action as near in the future as may be.

is essential. Adult male suffrage is
granted. There is provision for a rep
resentative house of sixty-nine mem
bers to be elected for five years, and
an upper house of fifteen members to
be selected by the crown. Moreover,
the people are given the right to re-
wise this constitution should it be
found at any time that it works preju-
dice to the best interests of the peo-
pie.
The selection Of fifteen members of
the upper house by the crown was vir-
tually nullified by provision that
when there is disagreement between
the upper and lower houses, the two
shall sit jointly, and then the vote
of the majority shall prevail, the vote
Of a man appointed by the crown
counting nc more than that Of a rep
resentative who owes his choice to
popular will.
That England reioices in the hearty
cooperation the Beers have given
to the peace cause, is shown by the
magnificent reception just accorded
Premier BOtha On the occasion of his
recent visit as one of the delegates to
the colonial council, in which England
entertained the big men of her vari-
GUS dependencies
Botha by all adds was the lion of
the occasion. lie was wined and dined
by England's elite, and wherever he
went among the people was the object
Of riotous demonstrations Of popular
regard. He expressed himself as as
tonished at the welcome he received,
and was particularly touched by the
courtesies extended to him by his con-
queror and former foe, Lord Roberts.
The peaceful solution of the Boer
problem is as hopeful symptom of
international good will as a peace con-
ferencs. It shows that nations are be-
ginning to understand that generosity
heals wounds quicker than the iron
hand.
