for example. that | was taken into a
classroom where q lesson IN English
was being given to some French boys
of sixteen. mostly the sons Of opera
tives The exercise was conducted in
excellent English. which the prpils
seemed TO speak almost as readily as
the teacher, and the point under dis
cussion when l visited the class was
one which would have puzzled Har-
ward freshmen. 1t was the distinction
in meaning between the words priest
a Catholic ecclesiastic; clergyman-an
Anglican. and minister--a dissenter.
In American schools, or, rather, In the
results of the instruction there afford
ed, / have never COM across the
teaching of any foreign language
which compared In efficiency with the
teaching Of English in secondary
schools throughout France, And TO all
appearances this was only one exam

ty Of French teaching IN all its branch.

People would find less difficulty with
ready made Shoes said an expert
enced salesman, IF they would stand
up to ft them on instead OF sitting
down. Nine persons out Of ten, par
ticulnrly women. want comfortable
chair while they are fitting shoe. and
1t is with the greatest diffculty that
you can get them to stand for few
minutes. even after the shoe Is fitted.
Then when they begin walking about
they wonder why the shoes are not
so comfortable IS they were a. first
trial. A woman's foot is considerably
smaller when she sits in a chair than
when she walks about. Exercise
brings larger quantity Of blood into
the feet. and they swell appreciably.
In buying shoes this fact should be

BRooDER CHICKS.
Methods Employed by Capable PeuI.
try Woman In RAISING Them.

Try woman In Raising Them.
Mrs. C. B. Walker of Brownsburg.
Ind, thus e. yiains Der method of rails
ing brooder chicks for the benefit of
the readers of American Poultry Iour-
nal; The first thing after the chicks
are out of the shell and dry we take
them to the brooder, being sure the
heat is not less than 80 degrees. We
never feed until the chick is about
forty-eight hours old; then we give dry
breadcrumbs mixed with hard boiled
egg. and a little bit of black pepper
also. dry the eggshell and pulverize
this and mix in feed. which find the
chicks are very fond of. This we feed
for two or three days, with plenty of
water or milk. The chicks should be
fed only as much as they can eat clean,
allowing no food to be left over, as 1t
is better TO feed three or four times
day. We cover the floor of the brooder
with paper. as this can easily be re-
moved with all filth and burned, this
being done every day. After the chicks
are week old we make corn bread, as
for table use. using pepper and egg
shell for grit. This may be given three
times a day cor as often as chicks are
hungry" with a little fresh meat
ground fine. We always keep small
pan of grit in brooder so chicks can
go to this at will Now. to the brooder
we attach box for a run. the box
being four feet long and one and half
feet wide In this we have plenty of
alfalfa litter on floor, with small grain,
such as Kaffir corn, cracked corn or
wheat thrown in, so this will give the
little chicks plenty of exercise. When
they are a week old, we raise the small
door of srooder and let them into this
run, which you will find they greatly
enjoy At three weeks we begin to
give potatoes, cabbage or any eonven-
lent vegetable for green food. We also
find they are very fond Of onion chop
ped fine We never feed sloppy foods
or mashes to young chicks, as we think
these are the cause of so much bowel
trouble. Right here let me say | find
nothing so good for this trouble as
ginger tea-a teaspoonful of ginger,
with a teacupful of boiling water, aft
er cooling. You Will find the chicks
are fond of this. Be sure there is no
other water they can get to. We give
this drink often while trouble lasts, If
it appears. 1t will be all right to give
them this drink once week until five
or six weeks old. Keep before them
plenty of grit ard charcoal, and as far
as feeding is concerned the chicks viii
grow TO be healthy and happy If ev-
erything connected with the brooder is
kept perfectly clear. After the first
week we reduce the temperature OF
brooder to 70 degrees and the fourth
week to about 60 degrees.

How 70 Keen chsa.s.

Housewives often are dismayed at
finding the cheese which they intend
ed TO last several days at least quite
spoiled the second day, and the fault
lies entirely with the grocer who
must have sent bad cheese In the first
place. Cheese spoils more quickly In
hot than in cold weather and the pre-
ventive Is to keep 1t In the icebox.
The fine imported varieties viii not
keep at all. not more than day or two.
says the Chicago Tribune. so II Is
best to consider Just what kinds Will
and buy them only until cold weather
comes. Roquefort, Camembert, the
useful Swiss cheese aad the home
made cottage cheese are about the
only ones TO be relied upon. DIP a
piece of clean cheesecloth In salty
water to wrap the Swiss cheese in
and keep In the icebox, changing cloth
every day. For Roquefert have the
cloth dry and lay the package directly
on lee, only keeping of long enough

For colorlng photographs use water
color paints and either red sable or
camers hair brushes, says a CORE
spondent Of the New York Globe. The
former are more expensive, and the
camefs hair makes an excellent substi-
tute. For platinum prints one can
use paints that are semitransparent.
One colorist whom know has had ex-
celleat success with the Newton coIors.
For smooth finish photographs it is
desirable to use transparent paints,
such. for example, as the Acme water
colors. These do not fade readily.
They are cake colors. The least ex-
pensiye water colors are the Japanese
that come In paper sheets. A small

Many good jewels are discolored by
