All in Coed Taste.

Nothing could be more appropriate
than the covers and curtains seen in
the inexpensively furnished home of
young matron who had picked up
bits of old furniture to match the
few pieces which had descended to
her from doting grandparent.
Her mahogany chest, bureau and
little sewing table had covers made
of organdie just the size of the
article to be covered. These were
simply hemmed with an inch-wide
hem, and about one-half inch inside
this hem was sewed, on both sides,
another inch-wide piece of the goods,
making simulated tuck. Could
anything be simpler? Yet the effect
was so quaint and appropriate, especi.
ally as sash curtains for the many.
PANIED windows were made the same
way. These were draped with valence
and side drapery of quaint-fowered
chintz, and gave the finishing touch
to the whole.-New Haven Register.

Money From Seaweed.

Japan, which wastes nothing in its
domestic economy, realizes $4,000
600 annually from its seaweed pro-
ducts. According to the report of C.
j. Davidson, an attache of the British
Embassy at Toxic, more than fifty
varieties of the seaweed found along
the Japanese coast are utilized either
for food or as manufactured pro-
ducts.
The traveller sees bundles of dried
seaweed, white with the crystallized
salt of the sea water, hung from the
front of every food stall. The coars-
er varieties are stewed and served
with fish. Some of the delicate sprigs
of sea grass are boiled with fish
soups and remain vivid green, float
ing against the red lacquer of the
soup bowls.
Other species of seaweed are used
in the manufacture of glue, of plas-
ter and of starch. Whole villages are
given over to seaweed fishing and the
drying and packing of the product
for shipment to the manufacturing
plants in the large cities. In the
country along the seashore the farm
ers use the coarse and ropy kelp for
fertilizing their vegetable fields.-St.

Aprons For Little Girls.

Aprons are coming in again for

uS Cnlef Use and Method of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.
White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is
made by corroding metallic lead into
white powder, through exposing it
to the fumes OF weak acetic acid and
carbonic acid gas; this powder is then
ground and mixed with linseed oil,
making a thick paste, in which form
1t is packed and sold for painting
purposes. The painter thins It down
to the proper consistency for applica-
ton by the addition of more linseed
oil.

The Country Newspaper.

The real bulwark of the country n
not the great metropolitan news
paper. but the neighborhood weekly
printed in the country newspaper
Office, remarks Editor and Publisher.
Seventy-five per cent. of the popu-
lation of the United States is located
in the rural districts. The farmers,
who are the real wealth producers,
rely for their news upon the small
daily or weekly published in the near
est town or village. They want to
know what their friends and neigh
bors are doing, what prices are being
paid in the markets for their pro-
ducts, and what the Legislature or
Congress is up to. They like to read
good short story, an article or two
on crop conditions or about improve
ments in farming machinery, etc.
All these things the farmer finds in
his home paper, which he prefers to
the larger and perhaps better edited
metropolitan daily. He cares little
about what society people are doing
in New York, Chicago or Kansas City,
but he does want to read about the
last sociable or entertainment given
at the church or town hall.
The country paper has other adj
mirers besides the farmer. You will
find a copy of it on the desk of the
bank president in Philadelphia or
the broker in Wall Street. Other
papers may be thrown into the waste
basket unread, but not the weekly

The Shadow of Fear.

The terror of failure and the fear
of coming to want keep multitudes of
people from obtaining the very things
they desire, by sapping their vitality,
by incapacitating them through
worry and anxiety for the effective,
creative work necessary to give them
success. Wherever we go, this fear
ghost, this terror-specter stands be-
tween men and their goal; no person
is in position to do good work while
haunted by it. There can be no great
courage where there is no confidence
or assurance, and half the battle is in
the conviction that we can do what
we undertake. The mind, always full
of doubts, fears, forebodings, is not in
condition to do effective creative
work, but is perpetually handicapped
by this unfortunate attitude

Mr.. Depew, who is still Senator from

A man once found that his wife
had bought few puffs of false hair.
This displeased him. So one day he
hid in the hall outside of her room,
and, just as the lady was adjusting
the false puffs, he darted in upon her.

Miss Blythe has not as yet gone very

although she is making preparations
to do so. She has been giving the
most of her attention to the shipping
of mated pairs as foundation stock
for other breeding lofts. Quite re-
Gently she made several shipments to
Colorado and Michigan. She has also
mad inquiries about her birds from
old Mexico from reliable purchasers.
Here are a few of the necessary
things every beginner must heed IL
ne would be successful with pigeons:
Have suitable place prepared for
your birds in which to liberate them
on arrival. Possibly you have a shed
or loft that with proper arrangement
will do nicely. There must be two
nests for each working pair, because
the mother often begins laying again
before the squads are out of the nest.
A large shallow pan for bathing and
plenty of fresh water for drinking are
among the necessities. Keep their
quarters thoroughly clean and spray
with good disinfectant every week.
Protect all windows with netting and
give them chance for a sun bath
and fresh air by erecting a large
Fly" connected with their quarters.
The most important point of all is
the purchase of your foundation
stock. Buy of responsible dealers,
and buy only mated pairs; otherwise
you may get more males than
females, or vice versa, because there
is no sure way to tell the sexes apart.
Even if there were an equal number
of males and females they may never
make pairs. They may mate or they
may not.
When these birds mate it is for
life, unless forced to separate. There
are no divorces in pigeon Loft.
The father bird takes his share of the
labors of housekeeping with a cheer
full spirit. He doesn't criticise his
mates dress or conduct, either. You
never hear him say, my dear, I see
speck of dust on your left wing;
better go down to the pool and take
a bath" On the contrary, about 9
O'Clock any morning you may hear
him telling her that there is fine
lecture in pigeon English out in the
fly" and as she darts off gracefully
he calls after her: "Stay as long as
you want to, dear; I'll keep the eggs
warm"
There are doubtless still vast posi-
bilities awaiting development in the
pigeon industry. If our native pas
senger pigeon (the bird that once was
as the sands of the seas for numbers,
AMI which was as ruthlessly slaugh-
tered as the buffalo) were obtainable
for cross breeding purposes, what
might not be done in the way of pro-
ducing new varieties? According to
the tales of early settlers these birds
were prolific beyond belief
Pigeon breeding mas been engaged
in throughout Europe and Eastern
countries for centuries; at present it
is scarcely more than a pastime in
the United States. OF the three
hundred varieties of pigeons none has
the popular interest or value reached
by the carrier or homing breed, which
is trained to return to its home from
great distances, and is utilized for
carrying essages.-New York Trib-
uno.
