show small shapes with dropping brims and high puffed crowns, with small wings set in an irregular TOW about the base of such crowns. Ro- settes of silk or velvet centered with bird heads are a novelty, but wom- en seem to prefer any part of the bird rather than the head these days. SO not many of these are in evidence. There is something of an exception to this In the very unreal looking heads, or faces, rather, of the owl made up in feathers of brilliant col brings borrowed from the peacock and other birds of magnificent col ors.
 As may be seen in our illustrations, the poise of wings on the hat may vary from the folded wing of a sleep ing child of the air to those spread for flight. The fancy of the trim mer is not curtailed in any way ex- cept by the lines of the shape she wishes to decorate and the becoming ness of the result. Those are the only two things that count

RESCUE CHAINED BOY
CHICAGO HUMANE OFFICERS FIND
 CASE OF CRUELTY.
Parents Claim Boy Is Bad and Needed Punishment, While Neighbors Say He Has Long Been
 III-Treated.

Chicago.-The door of little back room in an Orleans street flat was 1 forced by humane officers, heavy dog chain cut, and trembling. emaci- ated boy of six years released and taken into an adjoining room, where he blinked at the sunshine he had not seen for twenty-four hours.
 If the story the boy sobbed out to his rescuers is true he Is the vic tim of the most unnatural cruelties ever practised by parents on a de- fenseless child.
 Immediately after the story was completed Hugo Lang and his wife, Bertha, were locked in cells on com plaint of Charles H. .Brayne. an officer of the Illinois Humane society, who declares that they calmly confessed they were responsible for the child's condition. Their only justification. MT Brayne said, was that little Hugo was "a very bad boy" and needed punishment.
 An anonymous complaint from somebody living near the Lang fiat at S71 Orleans street caused Officer Brayne to visit the place. When he entered the fiat he was met by Lang, who is a fireman. When the investi- gator asked to see the child Lang asked him to wait until the boy could be prepared"
 But MT. Brayne wasn't to be satis- fed so easily. He forced his way past the father and into the darkened room, where he could hear slight movements. He felt his way around the wall until he reached a chain, to which, he discovered moment later, the child was fastened, dog fashion.
 When he found the chain was being removed Hugo covered against the floor, according to the humane officer, as though in fear of some fresh cruel ty. Then he was led into the other room, where he blinked and drew one arm across his eyes to shut out the light
 The boys hair was matted with clots of blood, there were cuts on his face and neck and his leg was swol- len from contact with the chain.
 Lang admitted that he and his wife had been 'punishing' Hugo and 6dlu ludI IHS CHllu udu SIOASA I0- volver from a drawer in their room, and they were endeavoring to force him to confess it," said MT. Brayne. "Neighbors say that this has been going on for three years.
 "The spirit of the boy has been so broken that he Is more like whipped dog than human being. He crawIs to his parents on all fours when they call him and has spent much of his life sobbing in dark room where they have kept him."

usIno up Old Ribbons.

Have you lot of bows, sashes and hat trimmings that are too faded and shabby for further use? Rip out all the stitches, clean of all spots. press all wrinkles and then put them into dye pot with silk dye.
 If you select ribbon of nearly the same color and quality to go in the pot at one time you should have enough good looking ribbon to make nice plaited frills for the winter petti- coat.
 These dyed ribbons can also be util- ized as color Things, facings or In making a patchwork quilt. For such permanent work. however, it is better not to dye as 1t sometimes rots silk. Wash ribbon carefully and use the hest bits.

MOSQUITOES AS BAD AS BEES
Sting a Farmers Team of Horses Till They Roll Over, Then Figure
 in Runaway.

Selinsgrove, Pa.-Mosquitoes have became so abundant in Snyder county as to interfere with farmers in their busy season. While Zack Goodman was cultivating corn along the Sus- quehanna river low lands, in Monroe township. he was surrounded by mil lions of the buzzing insects, which at tacks with unrelenting determination both the farmer and his horses. The mosquitoes bit the horses so repeated ly that the animals lay down in the field and rolled; then, becoming tan gled in the harness, ran away, fol- lowed by Goodman.

USES FOR THE sUNFLoWER
In Russia It Is Made to Yield Valuable Oil, Fodder and Beauti-
 ful Fabrics.

Americans do not regard the sun flower, which is said to be one of our own native plants, as being of much practical service. but in Russia it Is utilized in many ways.
 There the seeds are eaten in i'm mense quantities, raw or roasted, as peanuts are in America, and the oil obtained by pressing the seeds is an important article of food. The ire quent religious feast days in Russia restrict the use of meat and lead to a large consumption of vegetable oil, and the manufacture of sunfower oil has consequently grown to consider able dimensions in that country. The best seeds yield an oil that compares favorably with olive oil for table pur- poses.
 Even the upper classes in Russia. 1t is said. eat the seeds, the larger and finer ones being quite equal to most nuts in respect to palatability and wholesomeness. The stalks and dried leaves are highly prized for fuel, be- ing in some parts of the empire all most the only available substitute for wood. An acre of sunfowers will yield many cords of good fuel.
 The oil appears to have more of the general properties of olive oil than has any other known vegetable oil. It takes about a bushel of seeds to make a gallon of oil, and 50 bushels of seeds can be grown on one acre of land. AS the oil sells at about $1 a gallon the profit is large.
 At one time purified sunflower oil was used quite extensively to adulter- ate pure olive oil. It is of a pale yell Jewish color and decidedly palatable. In a crude state it Is used by painters to some extent, but it is inferior to linseed oil for use in paint.
 In addition to the oil from the seeds the stalks when green and the oil cake make excellent fodder. The fiber of the stalks, which is fine, silky and strong, also has value. In China it Is woven into beautiful fabrics, and it is believed that by the use of proper ma chinery it might be used most profit ably in this country

Bead liqhtnlnq.

During violent thunderstorm last summer in northern New York the in habitants of several towns were sur prised to observe, several times in succession, a short luminous streak which appeared at a particular point in the clouds and remained visible about two seconds at a time. This was an example of the rare phenom- enon called bead lightning. When seen to advantage it resembles a string of luminous beads hung in a cloud, the beads being somewhat clip tical and the ends of their axes in the line of their discharge being colored red and purple respectively. As seen in New York the line was viewed nearly end on, and there was only a suggestion of color visible.

AGE AND HAPPINESS
DECLINING YEARS SHOULD BE
 ONES OF JOY.
Beauty In Having Tasted Life and Found 1t WhoIesome-Opportunity Properly to Guide Steps of
 the Young.

Almost every woman, though she de fiantly boasts that she always want ed to have gray bair," dreads the thought of old age. And yet, old age, which is not synonymous with decrep- Itude, should be a very beautiful ex- perience Our age ought to bring a little relaxation, so that woman may give more of her time to enjoyment and to contemplation. Perhaps through poverty, or some other circumstances, the chance for relaxation does not come. What then? Why, then the woman who is old should take truly keen delight in sharing her ripe ex- perience with the novices at her side. She ought to consider 1t a privilege to warn others away from the mis- takes she has made-and the warning can be given without bitterness or self-vaunting.
 There is no more beautiful thing in the world than a happy old woman She has tasted life and found it whole some. It has not always been entirely sweet nor entirely bitter. If she made the most of her opportunities. she finds an inner peace, a contentment which youth inevitably lacks, and which is the crown of age. A little realization of the depth of life she should try to give her young com rades.
 Dwelling somewhat on the past, the old woman should not make the mis- take of existing in 1t always. Old age does not mean that one should not be up to date. It means maturity, the very fullness of maturity, and this is attained only by breadth of interest. Many persons when they are old shut themselves up in the shell of the past decades and refuse to believe that the world has progressed any, or that anything good has been accomplished since they were young. They have been eager to learn, up to a certain age Then, for some reason, they con- cluded that they knew all there was to know. Consequently, they are now because the world has moved for ward a great deal since they stopped learning-narrow-m and igno- rant. Life is measured, not by how long, but by how much.
 That semi-decrepitude. so aften called old age, though 1t may come to a woman of 2S or 29 if she has been a slave all her days, Is not the heri- tage of any woman. In these athletic times, every woman should get enough exercise so that her joints won't creak when she moves. The mental and physical wearing out is induced often by sheer hard work and work that Is unnecessary. Some women, as soon as they are married, set themselves certain tasks to do for each hour of the day. They think that If these tasks are done on time, with amending regularity, they have done their duty. The supposition would be correct were the women machines. But surely a wife and mother owes something more to her family than the washing done each Monday by 10 in the morning.
 She owes 1t to them to give herself plenty of time to rest, every year, every day, of her life. She owes 1t to them to take the time for intelligent reading, for travelling 8 little, which scrapes the rust of. for association with people and with things worth while.

Fought Mosquitoes With Fire Hose.

Fought Mosquitoes With Fire Hose
 Officers of the British freighter Mig uel de Larrinaga, in last night from South America, reported an unusual and unpleasant experience while their vessel was at Caibarien, Cuba, where she called to land dried beef on her way north.
 The vessel had hardly made fast when decks, cabins and staterooms were infested with big mosquitoes. Some temporary relief was had by getting out the big fire hose and wet ting everything down thoroughly, but the mosquitoes soon returned, and when the steamer sailed nearly every man on board bore huge welts, the mark of the insects. The thickest clothing was no protection.-Boston Globe.
