Missouri's SIS, Poultry Yard.

OF the receipts from hunters Ii
cenSes in Missouri this year some
thing like SIS, ZOO has been devoted
by the State Game Warden's Depart
ment to an attempt prosecuted on a
large scale to introduce English
pheasants in this state.
The fact that the experiment, if
successful, would add one of the
most desirable of all game birds to
The fauna of Missouri and exert nat
ural effect on the future income from
hunters licenses has not furnished
the only motive for the introduction
of the pheasants. The service this
English bird, one of the most vora
ciOus of all insect devourerS, may
render in the destruction of crop pests
has not been without its influence or
the department.
The idea is not unrelated to the plar
on which the parasites that feed or
various sorts of destructive insects
are sought out in foreign countries
and brought here to keep down the
ravages of creatures damaging tc
crops. But the English pheasant ISM
any parasite. Far from it, He is &
noble bird of snowy plumage thai
will add much to the attractiveneSS
of the life in our forests and fields
and he has lots of meat on him, a:
the future Missouri fowler will find
But he is death on a great variety o
crawling and flying things that il
turn are death on things the farme
raises. A single pheasant can ant
will eat more of them in single da,
than a whole army of diminutive o
miscropic parasites.
Missouri is big state. 1t will talk,
some time for the pheasants, evel
introduced in the numbers that Sl5
600 will buy and propagate, to spread
over its entire area. And after tn,
imported poultry are present in con
siderable numbers they will have t.
be protected for a while to proven
their diminution. But we may a
least hope the time is coming whel
broiled pheasant breast will be one o
the most common of the many goo

KITCHEN DECORATIONS.

DIR. Wiley. of pure food fame, is
credited with this bit of advice to
women: MAKE your kitchen the at
tractive place of your home. Put up
your hangings and your works of art
out there, and when guests come take
them into your wholesome, beautiful,
sanitary and artistic kitchen. with the
roast beef, the fresh chickens and the
green vegetables interspersed with the
hangmgs and the table covers, in
stead of conducting these guests into
a drawing room, which hasn't been
aired for a week" The idea of the
doctor as to kitchen decoration will
differ quite materially from that OF
the modern woman who seeks a SAM
tary kitchen. She does not want
hangings and table covers which viii
hold odors and dust from which the
kitchen can not be altogether free.
She prefers clean, unadOrned walls.
The cook books even are kept in a
drawer instead of a bookcase on the
wall, especially if the family wash
ing is done in the kitchen, as il is in
thousands of homes And her table
has no covering which demands con-
slant washing, but, instead, has 4
white oilcloth or an uncovered wooden
secured to -whiteness top, or. better
stin, white marble top. The dec
Orations are mainly shiny saucepans
and big spoons hung on the walls
with some pretty rice, sugar or spice
jugs on shalves. The bust of Clytie
and the Maid of Lille and the CorotS
are displayed elsewhere in the house
and the roast beef, the chickens and
all the fresh vegetables are reposins
in the refrigerator or the closet Oh
some other handy place until they
are to be prepared for the oven. In
stead of interspersing meat and fresl

Vegetables with the hangings why not
string green peppers on red ribbons
or red peppers on green ribbons, put
pumpkins on the shelves and decorate
a reproduction of Raphael with a fes-
toon of dried onions? That would
certainly bring tears TO the eyes of
the artistic beholder. All joking aside,
there are hundreds of women who
now ask their morning callers to step
into the kitchen for her visit. Where
IS the city "flatter" even who hasn't
at least one neighbor who runs in at
the back door?
But the modern woman, especially
the lady of the modern house in which
the kitchen is not large enough to
accommodate the family at meals, and
which is therefore only a kitchen, con-
siders this her WorkrOom in which
she performs tasks which are of vital
Importance to the family. 1t is doubt
full if this woman will take to art
hangings in her kitchen. Instead, she
demands plainness and convenience.
In some OF the modern kitchens the
walls are panelled so that there are
no corners in which dust can lodge,

introduce stencilled or plush hang
ings But il is important that the
kitchen should be a CHEEKY place. The
woman who selects a house with
gloomy. kitchen, on the theory that
anything will do for that room, makes
Il grave mistake. There should be at
tractively colored walls, neat white
curtains at the windows and the room
should be furnished with the one aim,
to allow the housekeeper to accom-
plish the greatest amount Of work
with the fewcst possible steps. We
wonder if the interested doctor would
like to have us tie ribbons on fhe
broom handles. stencil the scrubbing
pals and decorate the dishpan with
/ hand-painted scenes. But it is en-
/ couraging that the masculine mind
| has condescended to take the kitchen
I into consideration at all.

Air and Mental Activity

It is a matter Of common observa-
ton how a turn in fresh air often has
the effect of stimulating the activity
Of the mind as well as of the body.
Yet, ellen II. Richards at the recent
meeting of the American Chemical as
sociatior. se.d there are few parts Of
the borderland Of science less known
shan that which pertains to the air
we breathe. The proper ventilation Of
rooms preserves a still unsolved prob
lem, not theoretically, but practically.
What Is fresh air" for one Is n
draft for another. and the problem
is TO reconcile both. Heat and hu.
nudity are the most dangerous prod.
ucts Of still life, and the mixing in
OF fresh air is a prime necessity. For
this purpose of window opened an
inch at the top Is more effective than
one raised foot at the bottom.

CLOUDS TO PREDICT WEATHER.

Cloud weather forecasts made by

the utmost scientific and practical i'm

on the familiar cumulus cloud nf warm
summer days. When reaching heights
of six or seven miles il becomes a

assumes the shape of a fleecy ice
needle cloud and extends sideways in
anvil shape. The ordinary cumulus

Even such reliable presages of
thunder storms are the remarkably
delicate varieties Of feecy clouds
which are mostly found floating about
four miles high. On a darker layer
there are superposed delicate white
