How Animals Learn.

DR.. T. Zell, German naturalist,
has collected many Instances to prove
that animals learn by experience, and
thus become wiser than their unin-
structed parents. Game animals of
all kinds, he AYERS, have learned the
range of modern rifles. Grayhounds
quickly learn to let rabbits alone, and
foxhounds pay no attention to either
rabbits or hares. Killer whales and
gulls follow whaling vessels, just as
vultures follow an army. Crows be-
gin to accompany the chamois hunter
as soon as they have seen the result
of his first successful shot, and rough
legged buzzards follow the sportsman
after winged game. The number of
birds that kill or injure themselves
by flying against telegraph wires is
much smaller than it used to be.
Doctor Zell also refers to the fact
that birds and quadrupeds have
learned to disregard passing railway
trains, as horses quickly cease to be
frightened by automobiles. His In
stances of the intelligent selection ex-
ercised by sheep dogs are familiar to
all.-Youth's Companion.

A TAN Corn Story.

This is the tallest corn story of the
season, and is being told among the
travelling men over the State 1t is
said to have been in letter written
home by an Eastern visitor: Most
of the Kansas streets are paved,
grains Of corn being used for cobble-
stones, while the cobs are followed
out for sewer pipe. The husk, when
taken of whole and stood on end,
makes nice tent for the children to
play in. 1t sounds queer to hear the
feed man tell the driver to take a
dozen grains of horse feed over to
Jackson's livery stable. If it were
not for soft, deep soil here I don't see
how they would ever harvest the
corn, as the stalks would grow up as
high in the air as the Methodist
church steeple. However, when the
ears get too heavy, their weight
presses the stalk down in the ground
on an average of ninety-two feet, and
thus brings the ear near enough to
the ground to be chopped OFF with an
axe."--Kansas City Journal.

In the illustration dotted French fan
mel is finished with simple stitching,
but linen and similar waistings are
utilized at all seasons of the year, and
this model is adapted to anything that
can be finished in tailor style.
The waist is made with fronts and
back. The pleats are laid after the
shoulder seams are closed and are
stitched for full length at the back, to
yoke depth only at the fronts. There
is an attached pocket which can be
used or omitted as liked. When the
Dutch collar is chosen it is sewed to
the neck edge, but when the stock is
used 1t is finished separately. The
shirt waist sleeves are gathered at
their lower edges and finished with
straight bands and the long ones in
clude rolled-over cuffs. The plain
sleeves are made in one piece each.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and a
quarter yards twenty-one or twenty
four, two and seven-eighth yards thir-
ty-two or two and quarter yards
forty-four inches wide.

THE COMMON NEED.

Unless one has Travelled the arid

water really is, declares DR.. William
T. Hornaday in "Camp-Fires on Des-
ert and Lava He explains further
that he does not mean Apollinaris,
but just plain, old-fashioned well, or
'water-hole" or desert tank" water,
as the case may be. This apprecia-
ton of water made the party very
sympathetic in regard to the fate of
certain wild fowl which appeared at
the ''tapk" near which a nights
camp had been established
Just at sunset, when our little
lonesome world was settling down

There are two ducks in the tank"
Some one else quickly caught up
loaded shotgun and hurried along the
side of the embankment to the upper
end of the water.
Secretly, hoped that those ducks
would take alarm and fly away in
time. To shoot those little lone
some birds that had flown on weary
wing over a good hundred miles of
waterless desert, clear down from the
ella River, seemed to me like sin
against nature. Those two individual
ducks seemed entitled to our hosri-

The god Vishnu elected to preserve
them. When we heard the report Of

French Beading.

Many of the tailored shirt waists
are trimmed with French beading.
This is used not only at the seams,
but it is also used to finish the tucks,
the box pleat down the waist and to
make a sort of yoke effect running
from the shoulders. The idea is very
good and may be carried out in many
beautiful ways, while in making a

The FoIlow-Up.

A custom has grown up during the
last few years among commercial
firms in England, borrowed, we be-
lieve, from the United States, the
classic land of business enterprise, o,
writing one letter after another to
persons who have asked for a cata.
log or something of the kind and
importuning them to buy. Even
some of the good firms do it, prob
ably with the idea that If you only
worry the customer enough. he will
give larger order. Our own i'm.
pulse, we freely admit, is to cease Or
dering forever from the firm that
worries us. One may know well
enough that its goods are excellent
One may enjoy using the stamps en-
closed to frank ones orders through
the post for the quite unjustifiable
purpose of writing to somebody else.
One may even believe that "our Mr.
Abracadabra Gushpoods, who repre-
sents us in your county and who
offers to call on us about once week
for orders, is most estimable and
disinterested young man, who Books

and not at all because he is paid So

So green we may be. There are linz
it's even to greenness; and that limit
comes when we are informed that an
order is desired, not because it is
profitable, but to insure recommen-
dation to our friends. 1t is flattering
to be assured that a recommendation
can do so much with ones friends;
but it is a nuisance nevertheless. We
doubt If the follow-up system Is real
