ed butterflies. There are a hundred
different ways of arranging gorgeous
insects, almost any OF them likely to
be becoming. The aim is to secure
as brilliant effect as possible. The
general feeling in regard to this fash.
ion seems to be that the larger the
butterflies the better. but when they
are made Of very rare jewels their
possessor is usually content to have
them Of moderate size.
The most exquisite of these orna-
ments are made OF diamonds finely
set in the butteriy's head, the mark

formed by brilliant rubies. emeralds.

ever, there is a butterfly whose beauty

quick to give of their earnings. On
Saturday afternoons when they line
up ut the pay window the Sisters of
Charity are always there. and quarters
and dimes Jingle merrily into their lit

Behind this generous giving is a su-

ones; suppose that William Smith
and Anna Brown were married and
the editor should say that the gir'
was very ordinary young woman,
who left school before she asquired
any education to speak of, and the
young chap didn't know any more
than the law allowed, while his finan.
cial circumstances certainly didn't
warrant his taking wife, and he
didn't show the slightest inclination
to increase his present null income?
Then that Bill Jones went to Fort
Dodge to get suit case of beer, and
that Fred Gray was hanging around
the depot to see if any beer came in
for respectable man who wanted
a little for his private consumption
Suppose he told of preacher who
went into a business house and de.
liberately ignored the people in the
office where business is transacted
and went into the back end of the
house and bothered several of the
people whose time meant money to
the house, which the boss of the

LITTLE sERvlA HAD NO CHOICE

..1a ANr TOHl l1OnuOn IlmeS,)
The military operations made by
Austria-Hungary for the invasion of
Servia, and the yelled ultimatum de-
livered by Germany last week at St.
Petersburg, have practically abrogat-
ed that Essential principle of the
law of nations which was embodied
il. the London protocol of 1871. To
talk of impartial examination and
perfectly free discussion, when the
measured tramp of the combined
armies n Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary eSled already be heard, would
have been mere mockery; and when
Russia. as the cheif protagonist, had
surrendered to the threat of German
mobilization, it would have been the
cfuelest pedantry on the part of the
western powers to jeopardize the
existence Of Seryia by leaving her in
any doubt as to the fate which would
have befallen her had she still hesi-
tated to tender her submission.

advice will be timely and well re-

reminded of the Importance of a
thorough renovation Of our dwelling
houses and their environments. 1t
is not enough to clean the house
alone, all outbuildings and yards
should be carefully cleaned as we'll.
Fumigatlon should be thorough and
general. Trees should be cut away
if standing too close to our dwellings,
and groves should be thinned out if
the trees are too thick to permit an
abundant circulation OF air and a
good distribution of sunlight through.
out the grove.
All rubbish and garbage should be
removed from around houses and
barns. Cesspools should be removed
and water closets made inaccessible
to flies and absolutely removed from
possible contamination of wells an6

the women will plunge into the Wild

like ballet dancers until at the end
they sink, gasping, exhausted and
we'll nigh suffocated, on a sofa. AS
they grow older most of these slim

I
Don't whine and complain to your
husband over household difficulties.
Don't overwork and be tired and
cross when he comes home. Your
husband will see your tired and irrit-
able expressions where he will not
be conscious of few extra grains
of dust which you might have an
initiated at the expense of your
strength.
Don't let yourself get old and ugly.
Take time to keep yourself young
and to cultivate good looks. If YOU
can't be beautiful, try to be interest
ing.
Don't forget to cultivate your
mind. Read about what is going on
in the great world, SO that If he
makes remark on current events
you will be able to answer him in
