and furniture.
The parlor costs more at the outset
and requires more care and attention,
and sooner grows more shabby than
any other room in the house II takes
up space that is needed for the every
day uses OF the family. especially IN
the smaller class Of houses. and ap-
pears 90 serve no useful purpose other
than Saving the face OF the family"
in the eyes of a world that is govern
ed by convention.
The parlor exists apparently because
IL has been feature of houses for
generations and because Il Is the fash
ion. and not because It meets any real
and vital need OF the family life
whether considered purely. from the
standpoint of the home or Of its re-
lations to the community.
1t is mainly on account of this fetch
/ that in former days the dining-room
was placed in the basement. and now.
/ since that room has been brought up
[ TO the first floor the back building With
it's dark area has become a familiar
and depressing feature Of the average
home. In recent years. however. ow-
ing TO the more liberal use OF building
/ land the back building is not so COM
mon as was formerly the case. for
/ houses twenty or more feet in width
allow for the kitchen and dining-room
side by side. with large openings on
the rear yard.
This doing away with the parlor re-
suits really i'm adding another room u
the average house. AS the parlor was
too uncomfortable for the use Of the
family when 1t settled down 20 have
] r..f 4
natural that a demand should arise
for something to take its place, and in
this way tho upstairs sitting-room
even in dwellings of rather moderate
size, has come 10 be more or less COM
mon. But the space thus occupied OH
the bedroom floor lessened the sleeping
accommodations. and that was a
source Of Inconvenience and has not IN
all cases proved satisfactory.
Where the family was small and q
place on the second floor could b,
spared for use as living-room with.
out much difficulty. but in cases where
the needs changed. then such an eN
pansion Of the mode Of living woui,
have to be curtailed. For some time
past the designers of houses hav'
looked with questioning eyes upon tn
parlor. especially as they could see ~
valid reason why it should be accept
ed as a cardinal article of all faitl
and practice in domestic architecture
In the country house it has bee
done away with long ago-that is. th
!. average country house which is bull
for summer use. There the livin
room is the main portion Of the hous'
n and everything is made subsidiary :
+ IL. This appears to be sensible piar
e provided It is admitted that the hous
" is intended for other uses than merei
l. a place for eating and sleeping.

HATPINS IMPORTANT

In many cases they are part Of the

As many as six hatpins are worn on

CROWS BOTH
GOOD And BAD
Department Of Agriculture
Makes This Comment
After Investigation

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Aug. 2-The
Department of Agriculture has been
giving some time. thought and atten-
ton to the common or garden crow
and in a report of the Rhode Island
experiment station has some interest
ing things to say about the bird. Incl
dentally. It gives the crow high rank
for intellect, sagacity, and discrimina-
tion.
For instance, It Is said to be the
opinion Of many observers that there
are good crows and bad ones and that
the egg and poultry stealing habit Is
not common to all crows OF even a
single locality. The habit is said 20
bo acquired by certain individuals only
ana Sc thcse can be shot, the trouble
will be avoided.
The report also tells Of the various
remedies tried to prevent crows from
stealing eggs and killing young poui-
try. 1t was found they did not take
alright at scarecrows, that strychnine
did no good; that steel traps were
avoided and that efforts to fence the
crows out met with poor success. Ihe
effective remedy was % set a horrlple
example before the crows. A crow
shot and hung on pole near tho
/ chicken yard. like a murderer's BODY
on "a gibbet in the olden times, put
4 the rest OF the outfit on good behavior
/ al once and there was no further
/ trouble.
II is asserted that tho crow has his
| good points as we'll as bad ones. For
| instance, il is found that he destroys
! a large number of noXious insects \
large. fat June bug or beetle Is es-
tecmed a great delicacy by the crow
and the department evidently thinks
/ that while the crows reputation as a
raider on poultry and eggs may oe
/ bad. he is still entitled TO be conserved
for his other good traits.

HOW TO REMOVE
THE OLD WRINKLES

We can, by exercising will power. pre-
vent the forming of new wrinkleA but
the only way to remove those already
formed is by massage.
First smear the skin with a good cold
cream. Rub gently with the hngertips
until the cream is absorbed by the skin.
TO take away the wrinkles formed by
raising the eyebrows press the thumbs
upon the temples as lever, and mas
sage the skin OF the forehead with a
rotary movement. In removing lines
made by frowning proceed in the same
way except that the movement OF the
nngertips IS a sideways one. All this
takes patience as we'll as time. A wrin-
kle that has persisted for years will moi
come out in month even with the mos'
painstaking massage.

SWINDLER FINDS

MADRID, Aug. The Spanish svind-

cent in an parts OF the world for many
years with stories OF buried treasure. lc-
gacics. etc, continue TO find victims In
the unitei States. Tho Latest IS Morgan

due course OF time.

ln Spanish prison leaving daughter

had been found concealed IN his baggage,
and the mans dying request was that tho
relative IN South Dakota would give his
daughter a home and take over the man

Fortunately the address, C. Burren To-
pez was known, and the authorities OPEN
Cd the letter and viii return the money 10
the sender. Such cases occur frequently,
though not often with such luck for tho
victim. Two months ago a young sawyer
from the Sta-e of Washington mortgaged
his home and with $1,000 sewed in his un-
dershirt left his home 10 receive an in
voivcd legacy. lie was instructed on
reaching Gibraltar to wear a blue ribbon
IN his buttonholc so that the dead mans
friend could recognize him. After tho
lawyer left New York nothing was heard
OF him for several weeks, and his wife
became frightened. fearing that he had
been killed. But he evidently found his
way back home.
For the benefit OF families Of future
victims Il can be said that the Spanish
swindlers never inhict physical harm on
their victim. as that would make them
amenable TO the Spanish law. under
which II is impossible to convict them
for swlndlng. as no witnesses can ever
be brought forward 10 testify that they
actually saw the money delivered.

Tells HOW It FELT
TO FALL 40 FEET
William Schumacher Says He
Thought He Was Going
TO Be Killed.
%~S111W

After falling from a third-story SCAT
fold on a new house at 1O7 South Eighth
street, William Schumacher, 81 years
old, a carpenter, had his injuries
treated at the City Hospital and then
walked to his home, at. 374 Fifteenth
avenue. Schumacher did not appear to
be much the worse for his fall of forty
feet and talked freely to the STAR man
today of the sensations he experienced
during the fall, which he thought was
to terminate in certain death.
Il vas working on one end of a scat
folding" he said, with another car
penter on the other end. Suddenly 1
felt the scaffolding give way and 1
made a desperate effort to grasp the
ropes at my end. In this | failed and
my next recollection is OF falling
towards the ground with lightning
speed. Strange as it may seem, my
mind was as clear as it is at this min
ute, and my principal thought was
centred on Just what would happen
when | struck. l felt sure tia l would
be killed. n had resigned myself to
that fate. When l had fallen to what
! thought was a point within a few
feet of the ground, my. chin struck an
obtrudins beam, and my head was
thrown back with a force that seemed
almost sufficient to break my. neck.
The shock from this Jolt was terri
.fc, but I had presence of mind enough
to throw out my hands towards the
distractions which I clutched for the
fraction Of a second. The contact was
enough, however, to break the force OF
the fall, and it is to this fortunate cir
cumstance that I owe my life"

On October Z, 1898, Mrs. Eckhard, re-
turning to their home, met her hus-
