PARIS FASHION SCHOOLS.
Three Years Course to Prepare Girls
for Work In Great Dressmaking
Houses.

With an eye to preserving the su-
premacy of the city as the fashion
centre Of the world the municipality
of Paris has opened in six schools
training departments for girls In the
manufacture of women's wearing ap-
parel. The coureses embrace plain
sewing, embroidery, corset making
and dressmaking; the teachers are
all retired fore-women from the lead
ing establishments of the city, and
each branch Is under the direction
OF commission made up Of represen-
tatives of the famous houses of the
city in its line.
In the seventh school a course has
been opened in the preparation of
ostrich feathers. The courses are
arranged to cover three years.
In the first and second the pupils
give only three hours a day to their
professional studies, but In the third
year they devote seven hours a day
to them. Thirteen years is the young
est age at which girl is allowed to
take up the professional course.
The average age Of graduates, 1t
is intended, will range from 16 to
II years. so that in spite of their
training they will begin their actual
employment as apprentices. Diplomas
will be given to all who complete
the course satisfactorily, and the
great houses which assume to dictate
the fashions of the world promise
preference to graduates in taking on
new hands.-New York Sun.

HIS OWN IcEMAN.
Highly Scientific Ice Manufacture Of
Milwaukee Grocer.

Determined that he would not be
charged an extortionate price by an
alleged ice trust, Milwaukee grocer
and market man has discovered a
method of making his own ice at i'm
material cost. He has no costly ice
machine, no lake, not even a pond in
his back yard, yet he is piling away
day by day fine transparent blocks
which shall be brought forth when
next summers sun grows hot.
Peter Hansen, at Sixth and Gen.
tire streets, has no patent on his meth
cd and he invites all who will to visit
him and learn how to outwit the
ice dealers. He declares that he will
henceforth save several hundred dol
lars a summer.
Mr.. Hansen has been making his
own ice only a week. He has not
invested in any expensive ice-making
machine but has depended upon the
weather to do the work. His only
machinery" consists of six galvan-
lied iron tanks about two feet square
and from II to Is inches deep.
While Mr.. Hansen has only started
the experiment, he has met with
enough success to warrant him in
making plans for a more expensive
equipment next winter and to hire
man to assist in making the supply

FOOD FOR THE BIRDS.
Birds That Winter in the North Are
Often in Want. %.

A report recently issued by the
New York Audubon Society contains
an appeal for food for winter birds.
BY publicity these appeals are grad
ually needed. Persons who probably
never gave thought as to how birds
get through the winter months have
taken 1t upon themselves to look out
for the little colony near their home.
Many OF the birds of the North do
not go South for the winter. and they
have their troubles, like the human
family, and a death rate, according
to the Audubon Society, appallingly
great. Among those wintering In Gen.

creeper, tree sparrow, white-throated
sparrow, chicadee and Bohemian wax.
wing. There are also, among the
less musical, members of the crow,
and woodpecker families that stay in
the North. During the cold snaps
many Of these birds succumb to the
lack OF food and shelter. The pro-
vision made for these winter guests
consists mainly in the tying of pieces
OF suet firmly to the limbs of trees,
that the birds may peck at them. Ac-
cording to the league and the Audu-
bon societies, anyone in city or coun-

ALAsKA's BIG BEARS.
The Largest Flesh Eating Animals In
the World.

the World.
Very few persons really know that
the largest flesh eating animals in
the world are found in America. Peo-
pie generally believe that the African
lion is the king of beasts, but he Is
not nearly as large or as powerful
an animal as the large brown bear
Of subarctic America.
The bears are not as ferocious or
combative as the lions, nor are they
nearly as vicious as they are given
credit for being; but the largest OF
them are much larger and more pow
erful than any of the lions. It Is
safe to say that the largest OF the
brown bears of the North would
weigh three times as much as the
largest specimen of lion, and is be-
yond all question greatly superior In
strength.
If brought together in combat, the
bear would at first appear very clum.

would not be capable of the quick
rush or the catlike spring of the lion.
1t would not attack, but would re-
main entirely on the defensive, meet
ing its adversary with blows of such
rapidity and terrific force as at once
to illustrate its superiority not only
in strength but in action. l do not
believe that there is an aninfcl in the
world that can act more quickly or
effectively or can aim its blows with
greater certainty than the bear.
The large brown bears of the Alas
ka peninsula, south of Bering Sea,
are among the largest bears of the
world, and 1t is evident that there is
no part of the world outside of Amer
lea, In which such large flesh eating
animals are found. The bears are
flesh eaters, or carnivorous, yet there
are none of them that depend upon
fish for food, and with most OF them
flesh comprises but very small per.

AROUND THE WORLD PosTALs.
They Cost Only Cent and Are the
Latest Fad OF the Souvenir
Hunter.

The around the world postal card
is the latest thing in the souvenir
postal card fad, and although it is a
joy to the recipient, the postal clerks
call 1t only another pest, for its face
Is so covered with addresses that It
takes a valuable minute to figure out
what It means.
1t is sent out in the first place by
the person who is to be its final re-
cipient, and it travels widely before
1t comes back. An ordinary plain
postal card Is used. Across the back,
running the short way of the card,
the directions are written.
They simply request the person
whose name appears at the top Of
the card to send 1t along to the Sec
ond name and so on, in a sort Of
chain letter style. In addition each
recipient puts the date when she re-
ceived the postal opposite her name
on the back of the card.
AS the card travels along its face
Is covered with lines where one ad-
~ Ooo nus OCCu SiOooCu Ou anu u lew
one written on, and 1t Is also covered
with cancelling marks and stamps.
for this card must go all the way
around the world to be a success.
When the original sender receives
1t back it is worn with travel. One
that started from Scotland went first
to Montreal, then to Worcester, Mass,
next to Buenos Ayres, and before 1t
reaches Scotland again it will travel
to Melbourne, Australia; Rangoon,
Burmah; Kirakully, South India;
Cape Town, South Africa.
II the girl who longs for an around
the world postal card has no friends
or relatives in places to which she
wishes 1t to travel she addresses 1t
to her country's Consul at that place
or to some missionary stationed
there.-New York Sun.

When buying cow for the dairy
do not give any consideration to her
future value as a beef animal. Dairy

beef and any attempt to get profit on
beef from dairy cow may result In

lied upon for transmitting their good
qualities to their progeny; though
they may have good results when
bred to pure-bred bulls.
When the COW pasture contains a
large crop Of garlic, go over the field
with a mower just before the seeds
of the garlic mature, or cut them
down with a scythe. This method
will destroy them in one season. The
nearer the seeds approach maturity
the better, but they should not fully
mature before they are cut.
Dairy cows of the best class pay
better than any other stock, which
demands no more capital and fowls
pay better than any small or minor
industry on the farm. Taken In COM
bination they are just the thing for

more than SIS. In former years, he
says, he was compelled to spend at
least $3.50 in filling the refrigerator in
his meat market during the year.
Those who have never tried to make
ice that is more than five or six in
ches thick should not imagine that
all Mr.. Hansen has to do is to pour
the water into the receptacles and
let the weather do the rest. To
freeze it solid Mr.. Hansen has found
that it is necessary to have the tanks
about half full of water. This is al
lowed to stand until 1t freezes, when
more water is added.
To stock a large supply Mr.. Han
sen is preparing to buy about thirty
tanks. He will then keep them in
place where the water can be Sc
cured conveniently and turned d.
rectly from the pipes into the tubs.
The cakes which have been frozen
during the last cold spell average
$50 pounds in weight. The ice is as
clear as crystal, and Mr.. Hansen de-
clares that 1t is just as cold as any
that he ever bought. To remove them
from the iron tanks, all he has to do
is to pour hot water on the bottom
and the chunks fall out.
