MODEL FLAT FOR GIRLS.
Prospective Brides Are to Be Shown
 How to Keep House.

From the New York Herald.
 Fashionable young women who are members of St. Georges Protestant Epis- copal church have opened a model fiat in one of the most crowded districts of the East Side, the object being the instruc- tion of the young girls of the neighbor- hood in the correct methods of furnish ing and caring for home. The model fiat, of three rooms, Is located on the top floor of 130 Stanton street, which build ing is occupied by the New York Protest ant Episcopal City Mission society.
 Attractive in every way is the little domicile, from the window box at the front window to the shining kitchen stove and tinware. The entire cost of furnish ing was $450.
 Most attractive of all is the kitchen, where the greatest care and ingenuity were expended in making the best use of the small space. The refrigerator is a window box, which does away with the unsightly array of bottles and bags which disflgure most tenement window sills A patent clothes holder, which turns up against the wall, is another useful device. A shining array of china, tinware. and copper is systematically arranged in a wall closet, and there is every conven- fence in the tiny apartment for doing the family laundry work, as well as for get ting the meals.
 The instruction afforded by the model flat is not merely in the form of an ob- ject lesson. Children and young girls of the neighborhood are instructed in all kinds of household labor and are taught the way to do household tasks economic ally as well as correctly. The children are taught Tn morning classes. while at night there are classes for girls who are about to be married. When the students of household labor enter the model flat ev- erything is in disorder. It is their task to rearrange everything, make the beds, air the rooms, sweep, and dust, under di- rection of a teacher.
 After everything Is in order the children are then taught how to cook a working mans dinner. They then sit down and eat what they have cooked, after which they wash the dishes and put everything away in orderly fashion. This consti- tutes the lesson for the day.
 Besides the usual cooking, there is in- struction in cooking for children and in- valids. Laundry work is also taught in detail. The older girls go through the same course of instruction. The lessons are systematically given and a girl may graduate in domestic labor after receiv- ing a certain number of credits.

Queer Aids to Memory.
Strand Magazine.

rIOH lI6 OlTdHu NldReAlue
 Many and varied are the methods to which busy men have recourse in order to keep their memory peeled" Very simple Is the memonical system of a well-known journalist who merely ties a small piece of ribbon round his walking stick Many benedict has penchant for tying his handkerchief into a series of knots to remind him of the numerous little domestic duties he has faithfully promised to perform during the day.
 A very successful plan is that of a shrewd business man, who has recourse to the use of pepper or snuff to jog his memory. A liberal dose spread over his handkerchief greets his olfactory nerves whenever he extracts it from his pocket, and, as he himself says, that reminds me-"
 Very effective Is the method adopted by some astute people who place their finger rings on their key-ring. By this means they are not only reminded of something by the absence of their rings from their hands, but every time they use their keys the fact Is forced upon their atten- ton. There is one old government clerk who is an amusement to all the juniors. When he has any matter of urgent im- portance to attend to in the morning he invariably ties two of his fingers together with a small piece of red tape.

FURs ARE TO COST MORE.
Thirty to Seventy Per Cent Increase in
 Price Is the Prediction.

From the Baltimore All rican.
 From all can see and hear am free to predict that this new year we have just entered will, mark a big rise in the price of furs, a piece of news that wo- men folk will be sorry to learn" said T. B. Cough, one of the leading furriers of Chicago. at the Belvedere.
 Ut would not surprise me if furs did not increase over the 1908 prices from 30 to TO per cent. Europe seems to have gone fur crazy, and the demand for skins from Old World trade centers is some thing unprecedented. Muslxrat skins are In hot demand and are treated in London and Paris by a special process which en- ables them to be sold for seal. The call for mink and Hudson Bay sables far ex- ceeds the supply. In the last few months the tariff on some kinds of furs has gone up over 100 per cent. Lynx. that last De- tober could have been had for q or S, is now bringing from $15 to $25.'

Cats the Best Rat Killers.

From the New York Herald.
 "Cats are still regarded by the New York Dock company as the good old stan- dard remedy for rats, and probably will not be superseded by any other antidote for the rat pestilence around the docks for a long time to come," Henry E. Nitchie, assistant secretary of the dock company, said Friday.
 MT. Nitchie stated that the company had been approached recently by the rep resentative of new company which be- lieved 1t had discovered a means of kill ing whole communities of rats by inocu- 1ating them with disease germs.

Two Indicted for Murder.

Thomas Harris of Pownal and Mikelo
Teleppo, an Italian, who came to Ben
nington during the construction of the
Bennington and North Adams electric
road two years ago, have been indicted
for murder by the grand jury which
went into session at Manchester, June l.
Harris is charged with the death of
Oscar Turner, a young Pownal man
whose body was found in the Hoosick
river just five weeks to a day from the
night that he disappeared after a quarrel
by the two on the bank of the South
Pownal mill pond.
Teleppo is indicted for the shooting
of Luigi Tinelo, an Italian youth of &c
years with whom the older man is al
legged to have quarreled over a matter
of 1913.
States Attorney w. j. Meagher is de-
sirous that one and if possible both cases
be tried during the present term Of
County court in session at Manchester
and this is understood to be the wish Of
Attorney General j. G. Sargent of Lud
low. 1t is probable that in both cases i
will be necessary for counsel for the de
