Madeira Embroidery.

Madeira embroidery. which has be-
come so fashionable in handkerchiefs,
low collars, jabots, lingerie and table
and bureau sets, as well as in allover
embroidered gowns and skirt and
Jacket suits, is all made in the Ma
deira islands, off the western shore
of Africa, opposite Morocco. Funchal,
the only town of any size, is the port
of expectation.
The native workers who produce
this exquisite embroidery are paid
from ten to seventy-fve cents day
for their labor, the former wage being
much nearer the average. Men. wom-
en- and children work together, sitting
on the grass outside their thatch-
rooted huts. Thread. material and the
modern patterns are all supplied to
the local houses near Funchal by
French and German designers, these
two countries being the markets for
the world of this Madeira work.

TAKE CARE OF GRASSH0PPERS
Chickens and Turkeys, If Properly

Little Pest.

Perhaps we are neglecting the readl-

trying to find some new remedy. Per-
haps. where a large crop is threat
ened, the remedy we suggest might
not be effective. but we believe the
chickens and the turkeys. II properly

take care of the grasshoppers. So
long as we feed the fowls literally

forage much or far from the feeding
place; but IL movable colony houses
were provided, and placed In the
fields, and the fowls were fed very
little, and that feed scattered broad

Acres of forest and flannel" Thus
Mr.. Nissen summarized his realistic
description of the recent forese fires
in Wisconsin, in one of which he ex-
perienced his thrilling adventure. His
pig red touring car made three trips
through the heart of the blazing
woods, bearing to safety, in addition
to his mother, brother-in-law and sis

ard Wachsmuth, liveryman named
Strube with a party of four strangers
who mad been touring the country.
Mr. Nissen's own people were

the same general neighborhood and
unable to move either forward or

Pittsburg, Pa.-The stomach of VII
liam Douglas became an incubator,
and this may cost him his life. Doug
las ate turtle soup in which there wis
a turtle egg. The cooking of the egg
had failed to destroy the life germ,
and it terminated in the mans stom-
ach. Douglas was removed to the
hospital and operated upon, and the
partly Matched turtle. egg was re-
moved. The egg had increased five
times in size. Physicians who per-
formed the operation attribute the
phenomenon to the wonderful hardi-
hood OF turtle eggs.

The Training of the Sexes.

The equality of the sex is merely
play on words, asserts Prof. Mary A.
Wilcox, for twenty-seven years head
of the zoology department at Welles-
ley college. She believes that the day
is far distant when such an equality
will exist. 1t is all very well. she in
sists, to bring children Of both sexes
UP together, dressing them alike, al
lowing them the same childish pleas
ures, and giving them footing on
the same plane, but no matter how
masculine a girls mode of living may
have been, men and women regard her
as of less Importance than they would
a boy. Boys and girls minds are
nearly equal, she says, but the rela-
tive value cannot be determined until
the treatment of the sexes from child
hood onward is exactly the same.

ONE OF THE SEASONS WRAPS

for Woman Who Must Do With

The woman who must make one
wrap do duty for many purposes can
compromise happily this year or the
new raglan styles. They are neither
coat nor cape, but graceful com.
bination of both.
One of the best looking of these
styles is called the Parsifal. 1t is cut
circular with seamless shoulders
which merge into raglan sleeves. The
neck Is collarless and cut slightly
rounding.
Around the neck down each side of
front and edging the sleeves are
braided bands of the material.
stitched bias bands or embroidered or
braided trimmings.
The wrap is cut slightly double
breasted in front and fastens just
above the bust line and at one side
of the waist with buttons and loops.
Similar buttons are put opposite on
other side of front.
BY this arrangement when the wrap
is wished for for more formal occa.
sions the upper part can be turned
back into one or two revers az pre-
ferred.

possible, and it is astonishing to see
how many gallons of hoppers hun.
dred chicks or turkeys can dispose or
in one day. No feed should be given
in the morning so they will be more
ready to forage.
We have always advised disposing
of chicks, with the exception of those
meant for breeders for the next sea-
son, just as soon as they are large
enough to market, as the prices later
in the season will not pay for the in
creased weight. But by the great
damage being done by grasshoppers
we believe a farmer will make mig
take by selling his poultry until this
pest is disposed of. If we had spe-
cially valuable garden crop, we Should
surely protect it by this means, even
IL we had to buy poultry and had to
herd them during past of the day.
