Netting is an art easily acquired,
and is a pleasant pastime for both
sexes, the greatest difficulty being to
tear oneself away from the fascination
of the work once the stitch has been
learned. There is just enough move
ment to prevent your feeling wholly
idle, leaving the thoughts to wander
over the coming summer season when
your hammock or tennis net will be
put out. Besides, it lends an addi-
tional charm to those sought-after OBJ
jects, to know that they are the weav-
ing of your w hand, says the Mon
treal Herald. 1t may be too early to
start making summer articles, but
there are still things such as fishing
nets, chair seats, and the like, which
may be made for immediate use.
To those who are DESTROYS of start
ing, the first thing to be done is to OBJ
tain the netting instruments. These
latter consist Of a needle Gig. y and
a mesh stick. The needle should be
from sever to ten inches long and n
inch wide, while the size of the mesh
stick must be regulated by the fact
that the mesh stick will make a mesh
twice its own size, thus a stick half an
inch square will make a one-inch
The Tupelo journal., 1907-01-04

mesh and SO on in proportion.
Any youth at all handy will be able
to make these instruments for himself,
and then the material having been
procured, work may be begun at
once. To wind the cord on your needle
put it over the point in the eye on one
side, then down under the curve, and
up around the point on the other side
again. Fill it just enough to keep
from slipping off. Tie the end of the
cord to a hook screwed in the wall or
to anything convenient, make a loop
two or three inches from the end,
and you are ready to begin the
Stitch Gig. p.
The stitch consists of two move
ments, the first to throw the cord
around the mesh stick, and putting
the needle through the loop you tied,
the second to throw the cord to the
left, so forming a loop, after running
the needle under the mesh in the same
direction. Gig. 81 When you have
made it as wide as you wish, put a
string through all the holes and fas-
ten it to a hook. In the other rows
you can keep the loops on the stick
all the way across. For fastening, tie
a knot like mt shown in figure four.

Wiener, Youngest College
Freshman in United States.

knew his alphabet when he was Is
months old, and began to read when
three year old. When he was eight
he was reading Darwin, Huxley, Ribot
and Haeckel, along with the works of
other scientists and philosophers. His
father is assistant professor OF Slavon-
ic languages at Harvard, and young
Norbert is himself well versed in the
languages taught by his sire at that
institution.
Although far advanced in his mental
development, says the New York Tri-
bune, young Wiener is in every other
way a normal, healthy boy, fond of
outdoor sports, especially swimming
and baseball.
The lad was born on November 26,
1894, at Columbia, Mo-, where his IA
Their was then connected with the Mis-
souri, State university, but most of his
life has been spent in Cambridge. He
had only three years and a half OF
schooling-half a year in the kinder
garten, one year in the elementary
grades and two years in the high
school. He passed all his entrance eX-
aminations at Tufts last June, includ-
ing those in trigonometry, botany and
physiology. In college he Will make
philosophy his major study, and dur
ing his freshman year he will also
take UP history and ditferential and
integral calculus.
The father says he would rather
have a boy who is not so brilliant, as
it would be easier to plan for him, but
he adds: what can / do? He knows
enough to enter college. He is well
and strong. He doesn't study too
much; he is even lazy at times. What
can ! do but just let him go?" His
father has been at Harvard for IL
years, and is a native of Russia, edu-
Gated at Warsaw, Minsk and Berlin.
He has lived in this country for rs
years. His mother is IN American from
the west.

Hot Milk as a Night Cap.

for from seven to eight hours night
ly must be cultivated until it becomes
a fixed habit. Have a regular hour
for rising and retiring and do not
deviate from it unless forced to.
Bright eyes,, clear skin, cheerful
mind, muscular tone and nervous en-
ergy are among the good conditions
promoted by sleep of the right kind,
while broken and insufficient sleep
will tend to produce the very oppo-
site states. Ii a woman would have
the roseate beauty Of the dairymaid
it is quite necessary to obtain the
same health conditions enjoyed by
the dairymaid. So, if the sleep is
broken or insufficient, a certain
amount of muscular work should be
gone through with each night before
retiring. Tax endurance, says a we'll
known nerve specialist, but do not
tax strength.
The very latest I'LL for sleepless-
ness was thought out by a celebrated
French doctor, who came to the con
clusion that most insomnia was due
to over-fatigue or over-eXcitement of
the nerves. To counteract this the
doctor believes in a series of mus
cular exercises warranted to relax the
tension of the nerves and bring about
that delightfully."- drowsy sensation
the forerunner of refreshing sleep.
Annie Payson Call says there are
five things to remember if you want
to rest an overtired brain. 81. A
healthy indiffe1 nj to wakefulness.
2. Concentration of mind on simple
things. 3. Relaxation of the body.
4. Gentle rhythmic breathing of fresh

Necessary to Retain Beauty
THAT really covers it all.

That really cover 1t all.
When Belinda comes home feeling
too tired to sleep" there is no use
her trying to go to bed at once.
Let her take a warm bath, letting the
cold water run in until the water be-
comes cool. then let her slowly go
through the many different points of
the toilet, manicuring and hair brush
ing, for instance, so often done in a
rush. These help relax and quiet
the nerves and can take up an hours
time. Last of all a cup of warm milk
with a pinch of salt. Many people,
this applies particularly to men, suf-
fer from sleeplessness because they
are not properly nourished. Ex-
hausted or irritated and excited
nerves need nourishing. A bite of
light and easily digested food will
not keep n awake-on the con-
trary, it is often just what is need
ed to induce sleep.
Sleep will not come to the brain
that is worrying or ever to the brain
that is busy with the thoughts of
How shall l make myself fall

WHENCE CAME THE BIRDS?
An Indian Legend That Is Still Be
lieved by Many Tribes.

d. An Indian story that has been hand
ed down, and is still believed by many
Indian tribes, is one about the trans
formation of leaves into birds. Long
years ago, when the world was young,
the Great Spirit went about the earth
making it beautiful. Wherever his
feet touched the ground lovely trees
and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green
dresses. The leaves were very happy,
and they sang their sweet songs to the
breeze as it passed them. One day the
wind told them the time would soon
come when they would have to fall
from the trees and die. This made the
leaves feel very sad, but they tried to
be bright and do the best they could
so as not to make the mother trees
unhappy. But at last the time came,
and they let go of the twigs and
branches and luttered to the ground.
They lay p~refectly quiet, not able to
move except as the wind would lift
them. -
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were SO lovely that he
did not want to see them die, but live
and be beautiful forever, SO he gave
to each bright leaf a pair of wings
and power to fly. Then he called them
his birds" From the red and brown
leaves of the oak came the robins, and
yellow birds from the yellow willow
leaves, and from bright maple leaves
he made the red birds. This is why
the birds love the trees and always
go to them to build their nests, and
look for food and shade.

One Of the Extravasances Of the
Present Season.

The lace veil is n of the extrava-
gances of this season and when, as
is often the case, the lace is real, n
cost of one is enough to give the or
binary woman pause. Even the cheap
est laces, if fine enough to be desir-
able at all, are by no means cheap;
but the lace veil has caught the fem
mime fancy and floats from the brim
of many a modish hat. White or
cream lace is almost invariably be-
coming and some women look par
ticularly we'll behind filmy black lace.
Brown lace wells are also popular,
though not universally becoming.
The draping of n of these wells Is
an art, and one should experiment pa
tiently before wearing one in public.
AS a rule they are worn hanging
straight and loose in front and sides
and draped slightly in back. But there
are great possibilities in the lines of
that back drapery, and it is neces-

Wells Match Gowns.

Not only shoes, but wells, must match
the gowns. A woman who is noted for
her exquisite taste in dress has Just
had three charming street costumes
made in purple, green and brown, and
for each shoes of the same colored
leather, with tops extending to the
knees. They are as soft as the gloves
that correspond with them, and are
the same shade as the silk net which
complete each toilet. The wells are
figured with tiny open circles and
edged with a narrow plisse Of the net.
Each veil is about a yard and a half
long, completely envelopes the hat,
and is SO adjusted that one end is
longer than the other, and falls in
graceful folds over the front of the
jacket.

Prof. Huxley had a funny way OF
remembering certain mathematical de-

side of the heart there is a valve with
two flaps resembling a bishops inter,

corresponding valve on the right side
has three valves. The only means by
which he could remember their re-
spective positions, said Huxley, with
his skeptic's humor, was by the re-

Kaiser Wilhelm doubtless gave sin

majesty, for the queen overtoIs him

Neither Shakespeare Nor Bacon.

A new Daniel has come to judgment
on the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy
and aIrily declares that neither one
nor the other wrote the Shakespeare
plays. DR.. Karl Bleibtreau, a noted
German authority on literature and
history, is the one who puts forward
this view, coupling 1t with the claim
that the man who did write the plays
was Roger, earl of Rutland, who was
born October 6, 1876, and who was a
son-in-law of Sir Philip Sydney. DR..
Bleibtreau has devoted much research
to English history, but he hardly lives
up to his name, which is translatable
