Ii the summer garments have not

found little places that need darning,
and nice way to manage this is:

net, or the plain net-part Of lace, haste
it on, and then the darning may be

needed repairs. Under garments may
be made to do service another season,
by skillfu1 use Of few patches. For
instance, the thin places in drawers
and night gowns may be reinforced
by them, and for common wear will
give good service. We have often

is not SO much the light that one needs
as the sunshine, and when this cannot

get the effect of it, says the Chicago
News. A room with northern aspect
should not, Of course, be papered in

should there be yellow on the walls,
but also on the ceiling, for the sake OF
reflection. A pretty treatment is to
have light pumpkin yellow on the
walls as far as the picture mo1ding and
lighter shade above this and on the
ceiling. Then yellow silk sash cur
tains, pulled back, tend to make a
room sunny.

Use the By Products.

Now, don't laugh when I tell you
how many uses old broom handles may
be put to, for one of the members of a
successful business firm once told me
that using the by-products, odds and
ends, usually thrown away, made all
the difference between large and small
dividends at the end of a year. Why
not apply the same principle to our
household firms?
there's no end to the ways, appar-

For Bird Owners.

If you wish to keep your pet bird
in good health and song the following
advice will be well worth remember
ing:
Don't leave bird in a room which
is being swept; dust Injuries the voice.
Don't hang the bird in window.
Don't hang the bird in the sunshine
except just after the bath, and only
long enough to dry his p1umage.
Don't hang a bird where there are
draughts, or in kitchen where there
is steam or damp air.
Don't give it figs, sugar or sweets
Don't allow the bird to fly about the
room if you want his best songs.
Don't fail to change the water in the
cup from which a bird drinks every
day.

see them used as mop handles. A
piece was nailed across the bottom end
where the broom had been, and the

be made to do good, useful service.

POTENT LIQUOR IS SAKE.
lafcadio Hearn's Testimony as to
 Strength of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor in the world upon which a man becomes so quickly in- toxicated as Japanese sake (rice wine), and yet none of which the ef- fleets last so short a time. The in- toxication is pleasant as the effect of opium or hasheesh It is soft, pleas ant, luminous exhilaration, everything becoming brighter, happier, lighter; then you get very sleepy.
 At Japanese dinners it is the rule to become slightly exhilarated, but not to drink enough to talk thickly or walk crooked. The ability to drink at ban quets requires practice-long practice.
 There are banquets of many kinds, and the man who is invited to one at which extensive drinking may be ex- pected is careful to start in upon an empty or almost empty stomach By not eating one can drink a good de al. The cups are very small and of many curious shapes. One may be expected to empty 50. A quart of sake is good deal; two quarts require iron nerves to stand. But among the Japanese there are wonderful drinkers.

REFUSES TO BURY DEAD.
Richmond (Va.) Clergyman Does Not
 Believe in Funeral Services.

Richmond, Va.-The people of Rich. mond were much surprised when if became noised abroad that Rev. John w. Dougherty, pastor of the Apostolic church, had refused to conduct the funeral services over the remains of Joseph Haywood, who was killed by falling from smokestack. The funeral took place from the Denny street Methodist Episcopal church, Rev Charles H. Gallagher, the pastor, officiating When asked to explain his course MT. Dougherty said:
 My authority is the word of God Tn my ministrations as pastor I have convictions are the logical conse- quence of long periods of devotional thought. As to the burial of dead bodies, of course, raise no objections. It is a necessary and sanitary prac- tice. My protest is raised only where religious observances are called for. I hold this to be violation of the principles and practices of Christ. Christ came to resurrect, not to bury, the dead, and although he was buried he burst his sepulcher, defying death and the charnel customs of those who would bury the dead. I therefore hold that the dead should bury the dead. My mission Is to save the living It is nowhere in scripture recommended that the dead be buried by church ob- servances, Christ distinctly by precept and example to the contrary of this practice

Smith, then quite an old man. became interested in family relics and heir looms and began slowly to gather to- gether collection of antiques. Since that time he has picked up many valu- able and historic articles from the most improbable places. He takes the material collected from miles around to his little red shop, near the center of the town, and there it lies until under his masterly touch it is transformed from rusty relic of the past into a thing of beauty.
 MT. Smiths shop itself looks its part. It is situated well back from the road, and is as ancient looking as the contents within. MT. Smith himself is quiet, unassuming person. He is white-haired and old, but his kindly eyes shine forth a welcome to all visi- tors

 Walpole is one of the most historic places in the state, and lies in his toric country.

CHICAGO OF 1s45 IN OLD BOOK.
Directory Published When Metropolis
 was Small Town.

Chicago.-What is believed to be the oldest cty directory in existence is arousing great interest among mem bcrs of the Chicago Historical society. With it's yellow leaves and it's quaint phrasing, the book is regarded as a volume most valuable to the society. It's owner, Lieut.. William Moore, of the Stanton avenue police station, is con siderng offers for it's purchase.
 "A business advertisement and gen eral directory of the city of Chicago for the year 1S45-1S46, together with historical and statistical account, is the title given the book by it's com piler, J. Wellington Norris.
 The title page explains that the book was in it's second year of publi- cation. Concerning the previous edi- tion the author, evidently a person of consequence, remarks in his preface that he "can not refrain from an eX- pressiUn of his thanks for the fiatter- ing interest" which his friends "have taken in the enterprise" Although admitting that he is influenced by pc 2uniary considerations" he declares that the volume is none the less cor. rect.
 At the time of the appearance of the book the population claimed for Chi cago was 10,S64. This total, however. was accomplished by much careful padding of the informal census, most of which is admitted by the author in his preface or elsewhere. In his tabu- lated total he admits there were only 1,613 families in the settlement
 Copious illustrations, mostly of churches, appear among the opening pages, with a map of Chicago. A few scratches on the map near Thirty first street are explained by the artist as "haystacks." Below that point, and everywhere west of the river, the country is described as prairie"
 The town contained 43 lawyers, 2S physicians, IT clergymen, one dancing master, and had IS hotels, six weekly and two daily papers, besides support ing two f1ouring mills.''
 The book was presented to Lieut.. Moore by William Clancy, 4530 Wood lawn avenue, whose grandfather was the original purchaser.
