MOOSE ATTACKS A HORSE.
And the Horse Retorts in kind-AF
Incident of the Maine Woods.

Three young men from Milltown,
near Calais. went out into the coun-
try districts recently to pass the day
and left their old horse standing un-
der the shade OF the whispering pines
while they communed with nature
some little distance away, according
TO the Kennebec Journal. They we're
startled by the neighing and snort
ing OF their steed and upon reach
ing the spot where the animal was
tied they witnessed an exciting en-
counter between a bull moose and the
horse. The monarch of the forest Just
happened along and found the horse
encroaching upon his domain and
very naturally resented the intrusion.
He made run for the unfortunate
steed and a bow-on collision WAS al
most a sure thing, when the old
horses fighting blood got up and,
instead OF waiting to be rammed like
a fishing boat in fog, he stood up
on his hind legs and caught the bull
moose swat fair upon the nose with
both forefeet. Both animals sat down
suddenly to think the matter over. the
moose from the surprise of the shock
and the horse because he lost his
balance, and 1t would doubtless have
gone hard with the latter. which was
incumbered with tho harness and rig
ging, had not the young men set upon
the forest king with yells just as he
was about to resume the attack upon
his helpless adversary. Any one who
remembers the noise which Mill
town man is capable of making when
out for a good time will pardon
the moose for his sudden and undigni
fed retreat.

FOR SPOTS AND STAINS.
Some Ways Of Removing These BIem.
ishes on Clothing.

The effect of spots and stains on
the clothing is to give a general air
of untidiness to the appearance.
1t is expensive to send the garment
to the cleaners for every spot, and
home applications are often ineffec-
tive. partly because the right agent
has not been employed and partly
because the work is not rightly done.
One OF the most important things
in removing stains and spots is to
remember that there must be a fresh
piece of cloth underneath to absorb
the soiled cleansing fluid as 1t soaks
through. Cheesecloth is excellent
for this purpose; fold several thick
nesses and place beneath the stain.
Blotting paper also is good.
The spot should be spread out on
fat surface, and the absorbent
material should be large enough so
1t can be moved several times. Old
white flannel is useful in making the
application. using it in wetting and
rubbing. and taking a dry piece to
soak up the fluid when the spot is
out.
One often has Jet passementerie
that has grown dull and dusty. Clean
with alcohol slightly diluted with wa
ter and pat it dry with a clean cloth.
To use magnesia, moisten the stain,
then the magnesia, rub as carefully as
possible, and let dry with magnesia on
1t. The powder can then be easily
shaken off.
In using turpentine to remove paint,
surround the spot with cornstarch to
prevent ring"

COMFORT FOR BABY
INDISPENSABLE CLOTHING FOR
THE WINTER.
Flannel Bands and Shirts the First
Necessity-All Garments for
Little One Are Easily
Made at Home.

A winter baby has needs thst the
youngster who arrives in the spring or
summer knows nothing about His
clothing must be warm, above all
things. Babies grow quickly, and Of
late years mothers are beginning to
realize that too many things CT one
kind are foolish extravaganza. Three
flannel bands and three flannel shirts
are the first necessity. If one can
knit, by the way. or knows some old
lady who does, it is a good plan to
have the bands made by hand, az they
are warmer and softer than the ma
chine-made article.
There must be three flannel skirts,
two plain ones, and another little
more elaborate for company occasions.
Dress-up clothes for babies are getting
to be less and less the style now that
people are beginning to see that It is
bad for the child to be paraded about
for company to poke in the ribs and
kiss on the mouth. Either the little
princess model. for which there are
many patterns, or the wide waist
band may be used for these flannel
skirts. Be careful, however, that all
the skirts are of the same weight, for

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A box of lime placed in a damp cup
board will dry it out and act as dis
infectant.
Mix starch with soapy water, for it
will give the linen beautiful gloss.
This plan also prevents the iron from
sticking.
Black lead will give a brilliant pol

of soda and little sugar be added
to it before moistening it with cold
tea.
An enameled kettle which has been
allowed to boil dry should be filled i'm
mediately with boiling water. Cold
water poured in in such case would
cause the enamel to chip.
Stove backing. moistened with ben
zine, will give fine, lasting polish. Be
very sure that there is no fire in the
stove or light in the room while the
polish is being applied
Shelves for very precious china may
have pads of felt to prevent chipping

A Washable Knot.

When making knots on materials
that must be laundered it is well to
use the washable knot. This does not
pull like the French one that is the
only one known to most embroiderers.
Stick the needle up through the ma.
terial, wind the thread around it three
or four times, hold it very taut and
nut the needle down again as in the
French knot. Then take another stitch
in exactly the same place and over
the loops.
This holds the knot very firm and
prevents twisting when washed.

CLEAN FEATHERS IN BAG.
Description of One of the Best Meth
DDS to Employ.

1t is said one of the best methods
for cleaning feathers in a bed is to
make large cheesecloth bag and into
1t put all of the feathers. The cheese
cloth bag and tick should be sewed
together at one corner, SO that the
feathers can be worked from the tick
to the bag. When the bag is full.
sew up the opening and place the bag
over the clothes line and beat gently
with a rattan carpet beater. This
frees the feathers from all dust. 1t is
possible for the sun to reach the
feathers, and they will get very light
and fluffy, increasing wonderfully in
bulk. When the tick is washed, the
feathers are returned in the same man.
ner, the tick closed. then the cheese
cloth covering is washed and slipped
over the tick to protect it. Pillows
may be cleaned in the same manner.
OF course this is not a good season
for cleaning feather beds, yet fresh
air will do as much as the sun to reno
vate the feathers.

size of the coin effect One veil may
have a single dot, two, three or five,
and no difference how marked, the
dots are conspicuous, though placed
where. as one dealer says, they will
do the least damage. They are like
beauty patches, only much larger. One
must know how to adjust veil of this
kind or the dot may appear on the
mouth, one eye, tip of the nose or
point of the chin. and it gives quaint
appearance to the wearer. Other wells

Floral Designs Are at Present High in
Fashions Favor.

Floral hairdressing is one of the
favorite ideas and many picturesque
effects are being obtained. One of
the prettiest designs is cap of single
geranium blossoms; it makes an ex-
cellent decoration for a low coiffure.
This cap is in a three-cornered shape
on fine net foundation. The edges
are finished in dark green leaves and
the geranium flowers are set so close
ly that no space is visible between.
Another pretty decoration seen in a
theater was made of red berries and
green leaves arranged in two large cir
cles, each one being worn closely at
the side of the head. The berries and
leaves almost completely covered the
back of the head, and from the front
just showed sufficiently to make a
pretty frame for the fact.
The spray effects, outlining the puffs
of hair, are being worn with charming
effects, and the contrast in color of the
little blossoms used brings out all the
good points in the color of the hair
and the artistic arrangement of the
couture. These sprays are made of
laburnum. wistaria or the tiny bell
flowers, and they all start from cen
itral point in the back of the hair,
where the high combs so fashionable
just now are inserted. Each puff of
the hair is outlined by these tiny flow
ers, and separate sprays of varying
lengths are pinned down over the back
of the hair, mingling with the curls at
