confident that neither cats nor other
four legged thieves could reach the
brood, so I kept a clost watch over

screen I'm which the chickens were
kept The snake had a foot or more
of his length pushed down through
ono OF the segments of the screen.

was despatched and measured more

EMBROIDERY REMNANTS.

Mothers with babies should never
destroy remnants of lace or embroid-
cry, especially insertion; or fine
white cloth, such as India linen. Per-
sian lawn, nainsook and the like.
You will be surprised what pretty Jokes
can be made for baby dresses from
such remnants. For example. sun
pose you have only three or four
inches of one kind of insertion; take
that for the centre of the yoke and
finish the yoke with some fine cloth
nicely tucked. If you have enough
insertion for two rows make the CEN
ire OF the tucking-a four tiny
tucks; put row of insertion on each
side and finish as in the first instance.
In these days when lace and embroid-
cry are combined, there are many
ways Of utilizing the odds and ends.
Suppose you take fine embroidery for
the centre, then tucking each side.
then lace insertion and finish with
tucking. Many combinations will sug-

Rings Around the Sun and Moon.

Among the popular notions regard
ing the weather there are several
which seem to have a good founda-
ton. One of them is that q ring
around the sun or moon will be fol-
lowed in a day or two by a heavy
storm. Such ring is usually formed
in a layer of cloud so thin as not en-
tirely to hide the luminary which is
encircled, and the cloud is always at
a great elevation. 1t is apt to be
composed of ice particles, but, any
how, the sheet proceeds from the up
per part of distant storm area, and
is swept eastward by one of the high
er currents of air. An observer of
the United States Weather Bureau.
writing from Columbia. Mo-, notices
a difference In the consequences of
rings of small diameter and those of
greater diameter. The storm usu-
ally follows the former, If 1t occurs at
all, In from twelve TO eighteen hours.
In the other case 1t is liable to be de-
layed from thirty to thirty-six hours.
When a ring is first observed, he
says, the storm often is 500 or 1000
miles away. Sometimes in its east
ward movement IL will press to the
north or the south Of the observer.
and hence 1t is not a perfectly trust
worthy sign, but great confidence in

EASY HOUSE CLEANING.

1 have found that the upheaval
which occurs in the spring and fall
house cleaning can be entirely done
away with and infinitely better re-
suits obtained. My plan is to take a
room at time whenever 1t seems
very dusty, and clean It's walls and
woodwork. as we'll as carpet or hard
wood floor and rugs. The day this
Is done the other cleaning need not
be so thorough. A room at a time In
this way does not Inconvenience the
entire household. and, too. prevents
the great accumulation of dust which
comes with waiting for spring and
TALL cleaning. Closets clean once a
month, thus leaving no chance for
disorder, and promoting cleanliness
as a steady, not an occasional feature
or home life.-Harper' Bazaar.

KEEPING THE STOVE BRIGHT.

Instead Of backing the entire
stove every few days. try blacking
only the top Immediately over or
close to the fire. The sides, front,
oven door, base and other cool parts
may be painted with liquid prepare
ton, applied with a clean, fat brush,
and left to dry. In short time this
dries out. leaving bright, jet black
finish that remains in excellent con-
dition for many months. The prep
aration cannot be used on the top or
the hot parts of the stove, as 1t cas-
lily burns of. The hot portions are
simply treated in the ordinary way,
with stove backing. - Woman's
