REAL OLD CHOPPERS HOME.
Exact Reproduction of Irish Cabin Built for ChiIdren's Playhouse.

Exact Reproduction of Irish Cabin
 Built for ChiIdren's Playhouse.
 One of the show places of Far Rock away Is the handsome residence of James Caffrey. the Brooklyn Eagle says. Visitors during the summer months rarely fail to stroll up Green wood avenue from the beach so as to get glimpse of this fine piece of colonial architecture, with It's massive stone columns towering thirty or more feet in the afr
 But while the villa Is interesting. there is still a more interesting ob- ject on the grounds that draws forth exclamations of pleasure and admira- tion. It is the playhouse of the Caf- frey children. This playhouse occu- pies a prominent site on the great lawn to the west of the Caffrey resi- dence. It is an exact reproduction of an Irish crofter's cabin. and is be- lieved to be the only one of its kind in this country.
 The playhouse Is about 15 by 12 feet in size and one story high. The walls are of hewn stone and white washed on the exterior. It has a matched roof. straw tightly bound to- gether to thickness of about one foot. There are three windows in the front and three in the back walls
 Near the center of the front wall Is the entrance. Visitors notice a sign, painted in real Celtic characters, "Don Ma Stoegas." which in English means, Fort of the Fairies" There Is just the faintest idea of a porch over. the entrance, the roof being supported by two heavy trunks of trees. The door to this Fort of the Fairies" Is made of white birch limbs. set together lat tice fashion. and swung on heavy crude iron hinges. An old chain and latch fastens the door when the chill dren are not in the house.
 While the exterior of the cabin Is interesting. the interior Is equally SO. Inside the walls are covered with twigs and straw intertwined and cemented over, while the children's playthings. tables, chairs, rockers, dressers. side board, etc, together with toys and dolls galore are found there. It Is an ideal place for the children to preside over and play in.

Woman Judge in Denmark.

A woman has lately been made a Judge in Denmark, and the Danish women are reported to be much excit- ed. as they think 1t Is the first and only case of the kind Tn the world. To say nothing of Mrs. Esther Morris of Wyoming. Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch of Illinois. and Mrs. Mary Cooper of Kansas. do not our Danish sisters read their Bibles? Have they forgotten Deborah. the wife of Lapi- doth. who judged Israel for forty years, sitting under palm tree. and led out the forces of the chosen people to battle because the general refused to march without her? MT. Blackwell was very fond of quoting Deborah to those who claimed that the Bible teaches the subjection of women. and he empha- sized the fact that Deborah was a mar ried woman.-Woman's Journal.

$1,ooo FOR A LEAF.
An Australian Pays Thnt Sum for a Bit of SpineleSs Cactus.

An Austraiian Pays Thnt Sum For a Bit of spineless Cactus
 Wizard Burbank says that though some dishonest dealers both in this country and in Europe have been of fering specimens of the so-called Bur bank spineless cactus for two years the first genuine specimens were put on the market only last summer.
 He has been experimenting with the production of a spinele5s opuntis, or prickly pear, for twelve years aSe- cimens were sent to him from all over the world and thousands of seedlings were raised every year, but most of them were grubbed up as unavailing.
 The original successful plant has grown in three years to a height of feet and is over feet in diameter. The thornleSs varieties cannot be raised from seed. but are propagated only from cuttings, which must be first wilted in the sun for a week or two before they will grow After that" says MT. Burbank, in the Philadelphia Record. they will root anywhere any end up-even in your overcoat pocket or on the floor back of the stove"
 single leaf of the best variety of the thornless cactus, the Santa Rosa, was sold for S1, 1000 to John NJ Rutland of Melbourne, Australia, with the right to sell in the southern hemisphere. and one leaf of another variety was disposed of to the same Australian horticulturist for $500
 "The foliage proposition" continued MT. Burbank, "is by no means all there is to cactus culture. The fruits have wonderful possibilities. Many of my helpers prefer pear to apricots or peaches. and I myself find 1t de licious- There is great variety in the taste of the different sorts. and my ambition now is to produce type that will bear distinct varieties of cactus fruit. the same as different varieties of apples are characterized by differ ent fiavors"

This beauty's masses of hair were wound tightly around her head and held in place by huge jade-headed pins. and long jade earrings dropped from her ears. The effect was startling. but undoubtedly picturesque. Another new and unusual fashion. which will be of interest to girls. is that of tying a kerchief around the head. A three cornered silk or satin scarf Is tied around the head. the bows coming at one. side just above the ear. These are worn in London even with even ing gowns. To some girls they are ex- tremely becoming. especially If few curly locks escape around the edges of the kerchief.

HomemakinE Requires Study.


 Many women make the mistake of thinking that the calling of homemak- Ing needs no preparation. and the re- suit is disappointment on both sides.
 Every girl should be taught plain cooking and sewing and have some knowledge of every branch of domestic work; 1t will prove a valuable asset In whatever line of business she may engage. and should she marry. the duties of keeping house will not be nearly so difficult
 Some do not marry, many late in life; others still are left widows. often with dependent families. and for such a practical education Is desirable; but each one should select the work that she thinks she would like to do. and not for the reason that others have succeeded in it.
 A grammar school education. at least, is necessary for any one who would enter an office. A high school education is desirable, and even one year of this latter is of great advan- tage as a general preparation.

 But, mother,' exclaimed George, with theatrical wave of his hand, why should I fear the rain? Does 1t not nurture the grass? Is 1t not life to the flowers?"

The problem of what sort of blouse to wear with the tailored suit is d serious one this year. Many will not have to face this question. having chosen a three-piece suit at the start.
 But the woman who decided in favor of a simple tailored coat and skirt will don a simple tailored shirtwaist of white linen for morning wear, varying this by selecting for afternoons chif- fon, satin or soft silk blouse just the shade of her suit. The above model of satin followed this plan, just match ing a cloth suit of "raisin," the popular bluish purple shade. The waist prop CT was of soft satin, plaited at the shoulders and top of sleeves, the chif- fon yoke was of corresponding shade, ending in embroidered velvet reveres. Soutache embroidery embellished the bodice below the yoke, also the collar and cuffs of the full-length sleeves.
