 Canon Moynihan is rugged, deep- chested, and must have been of great physical strength in his day. He has plenty of gray hair about his temples, but the upper head is bald. With a hundred years of handicap, he sees the joke long before you do. When you knit your forehead to find out the fine point, you see him laughing at you under his shaggy brows.

CUSHIONS FOR SUMMER DIvANS,
Filet Covers Are Pretty and by No
 Means Hard to Make.

The woman who does not confine tirely to madras and washable cottons should have one of the new filet pillow covers which are much easier to make than they look.
 The pillows should be quite small and flat about the size used in baby coaches and the covers made of alter nate squares of filet and hand embroi- dered linen, edged with Cluny lace, should button on that they may be often washed.
 Select for the linen squares an open work design in which eyelet work pre- dominates; use only enough of the satin stitch to make stems or a few dots. Do not have too much work op these squares; the main thing is to have them quite open to show the col ored silk or mercerized pillow cover beneath.
 Even easier is one of the covers made from an entire filet square that just fits the pillow. The cover may be alike on both sides, or, if that is too expensive, the underside may be of sheer lawn or of inexpensive filet net.
 Some of the imitation filet squares are very good looking and if dyed with tea to a creamy tint will make charm ing sofa pillows at comparatively little cost.
 Sometimes these covers are finished with a narrow overcasted seam; more often they have an edge of Cluny put on flat, without gathering. The com .bination of these two laces is particu- larly effective

The Cameo Poputar

Cameos seem to be with us to stay. According to a recent fashion note they are even being utilized for the drop earrings that are fashionable just at present, and the dainty effects are to be found in large and small pins. Tn belt buckles and in bracelets. Per. haps there is no more effective use for the cameo than in a bracelet set in jet or old gold. One beautiful de. sign noted in one of the shops recently was wide carved jet setting for most delicately carved cameo. Then there are large brooches which are exquis. itely outlined, and even hatpins. That the cameo is extremely popular is demonstrated by the many limitations, some of them exceedingly good, which are to be found

The hand-Made Necktie.

From being looked upon with suspi- cion, the crocheted or knitted tie has become the coveted possession of the well-dressed man. But remember that there are homemade ties and home made ties! If you would make one ac- ceptable to the fastidious man, you must spare no pains to make it good and firm and even and of the proper length and breadth and correctly shaped and properly stayed where it passes around the neck-and, too, the color must be all right.

BAD ITCHING HUMOR
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw- Feet swoIIen-SIeep Broken
 Cured in Days by Cuticura.

Some two months ago I had a hu, nor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a week or more. used five or six different remedies and got no help. only when applying them the burning was worse and the itching less. For two or three weeks the sui. fering was intense and during that time 1 did not sleep an hour at a time. Then one morning I tried a bit of Cuticura. From the moment it touched me the itching was gone and I have not felt bit of it since. The swelling went 6own and in two days I had my shoes on and was about as usual. George B.

 There are many definitions to be given in replying to the question, for Mrs. Taft is a many-sided woman in terested in various things.
 The governments attitude toward art and music is a pregnant theme in every community, and Mrs. Taft is keenly interested in all that means he practical aid of both.

DcIudeG the Farmers.

Farmers who have been reading re-
Gently a story concerning the possibili-
ties of enormous riches from a new
brand of Alaskan wheat yielding 200
bushels per acre need not get excited.
The yarn has been branded as largely
a fake by the Agricultural Department
in Washington. whose experts have
been investigating the story. Nothing
has caused so much amusement among
the agricultural scientists since the
fake which cropped up several years
ago about the discovery of seedless APP
pies i'll Colorado.
According to the hot weather tale,
one Abraham Adams. Of Ida no, found Il
single head of wheat in Alaska. brought
it back to his ranch in this country.
planted it in the fall of 1904 and OBJ
tanned seven pounds of wheat from the
one head. In 1906. it is recorded, Mr.
Adams obtained from this wheat
yield of DID, bushels to the acre. The
first part of this statement is accepted
as perhaps true by Acting Secretary of
Agriculture Hayes. Planting the grains
one foot apart. he said to-day, it would
be possible TO grow from one head of
wheat approximately seven pounds !;
there would be nothing remarkable in
that. But he declared that no wheat
existed which could produce 200 bushels
per acre that the maXimtm of yield in
Minnesota is about 40 bushels. and in
winter wheat regions 60 or - bushels

Americas Fire Losses.

Apart from any incidental or accom-
panying expense. the cost of fire. of ac-
tual combustion and destruction of prop
erty in this country, is equivalent to "a
tax of $3.50 per capita a year: in all
of Europe the average corresponding tax
is a trifie less than 3} cents per capita
In Italy it is II cents; in Germany 10
cents, in 80 foreign cities the average is
81 cents, while in 252 American cities it
is 1910. We have 400 fires to each
thousand people; Europe has sc fires
per thousand. New York City has -. 1872
fires a year. with fire loss of ST.J6S. 500
Her fire department costs her S10,000,-
900 year. and it is estimated that the
cost to public and private protection COM

are 3,S43 fires in a year. and in the
