Colors Of Euns.

Mr.. A. r. Norwood of the Leicester
(England) museum remarks that the
colors OF birds eggs can in large
number of cases be traced to the me-
cessity of protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees. or in dark
situations. like owls, woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on
or near the ground lay eggs of an
olive-green or brown color. The eggs
of grouse ptarmigan and so forth re-
semble TIE heather amongst which
they are laid. Those of the ringed
plover, little tern and oyster-catcher
resemble the sand and shingle of the
beach. The lapwing's eggs closely
simulate bare soil or dried .bents. The
young chicks show similar "protec-
tive" colors.

head before the front hair is combed
to place. After adjusting the coro.
net the hair at each side is brought
back over the coronet. The ends are
rolled under to form an additional
support for the hair, and 1t is fast
ened TO place by means of rather long
side combs aided by hair pins.
If the hair is very heavy, 1t is not
necessary to roll the ends under, as a
support at the sides. A pretty effect
is produced by crossing these ends at
the back above the coil and finally
fastening them under the coil. This
coiffure has no advantage over those
that are curled and waved. but obvi-
ously it saves time and If becoming
provides acceptable variety from more
elaborate modes. 1t rests the hair
also, when too much curling or wa
wing shows signs of spelling the nat
ural gloss or making it uneven.

GREEN SHADE MOST ADMIRED
Color Being Universally Made UP Into
Elaborate Evening
Gowns.

Green is to be most popular shade
this winter, and, in fact. there is
grave danger of its being too popular.
for the fashionable shades are all on
the vivid order. and also were seen
In considerable number last winter
For the moment it is the color most
in demand. and both in the emerald
and peacock shades is made up into
the smartest and most elaborate even
gowns. The embroidery on the mate
rial. worked in silk and with colored
stones, is most elaborate and effec-
tive, but must be most carefully car
ried out In order to avoid any too
startling or extreme effects. Just how
to accomplish those two so widely
separate ideas requires great skill,
and. in fact, green gown modelled
after the latest designs requires the
skill of an artist In dress.

TO KEEP FACE IN CONDITION
Quality Of Towel Used Is an Impor-
tant Consideration-Prop Care
OF Brushes Employed.

Always use n soft linen towel for
wiping the face. The hands are the
best medium for washing; rough
cloths are an abomination to deli
cate skin and coarsen it, besides har-
boring germs and impurities detri-
mental to the cuticle. In addition the
soft palm gives a gentle massage,
which is especially grateful to tired,
nervous face A cloth, however, Is
necessary for laving the neck; for this
purpose nothing is better than cheese
cloth. which is exceedingly cheap and
can be frequently renewed. These
cloths should be boiled out at least
once a week and must be thoroughly
dried in the open air.
The same amount Of care should be
given to the face brush: II must be
rinsed in hot water and put on the
outside window ledge to dry. A good
camels hair face brush, which is
neither too soft nor too harsh, can be
purchased for 81, and If properly
cared for will last for years. Once or
twice a week a good skin food should
be applied with massage to prevent
wrinkles; this is done after the scrub
bing.

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tality
Because of this fact there is con-
slant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families 1T has
been found to be food without an
equal.
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford 1t,
and it Is so carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family.
Besides the regular size packages
Quaker Oats can be bought in large
size family packages and in hermet-
ically sealed tins. IL

BELL ATTACHMENT FOR A TANK

An attachment on tank that fur
nishes the house with water is of
much Importance and Is easily ar.
ranged, Just above the tank, as indi.
Gated In the sketch, two pulleys
should be suspended, over which the
cord runs which carries the float +,
and the weight w The float In the
tank may be hollow copper ball or
block OF wood, The ball is perhaps
preferable. since the wood tends to
become waterlogged and thus will
change In specific gravity. At the
other end OF the cord. hanging down
outside the tank. is weight The
float must be heavier than the weight
so as TO be able TO fall in the tank
as the water falls. The float will be
pushed upward, and, therefore, the
weight downward by the buoyancy OF
the water as II rises in the tank. BY
means OF the pulleys, therefore and
the float the rising and falling OF the
weight outside is assured.
For the electrical contact. outside
the tank wall two wooden brackets.
AC and BID, should be fastened at
such heights that when the tank is
full the weight w rests upon the low
er bracket, and when the tank is
empty the same weight will rise and
touch the under side OF the upper
bracket. AS the brackets require TO
project past the cord suspending the
weight hole or a slot should be cut
in the upper bracket TO allow for the
movement OF the cord On the under
side of the upper bracket two brass
or copper plates, A and c. are at
taehed and similar ones, b and ID. on
the upper side OF the lower bracket,
These plates are connected in pairs

course, separate from one another, but
so placed that the weight ut its high

plates and thus bridge the gap be
tween them and complete the circuit
The weight should be of metal and
should be furnished. both above and
below, with points so placed thai

A Massaqinq Hint.

Too many women make the mistake
when massaging the face to treat the
face only. Possibly they manipulate
the throat slightly, but that is all.
All messages should be carried well
down to the bust line, as. this strength
ems the muscles that extend into the
face, throughout their entire length.
Another important spot for massag-
ing is around the ears and down to
the edge of the shoulder Here 1t. is

most often neglected, though much
can be done to prevent wrinkles and
