STRAW FOR HATS.

The greatest part of the straw en-
ployed for making summer hats
comes from Italy. To obtain a suit
able straw for this purpose, Isays
Harper's Weekly, the wheat is sown
as thickly as possible, in order that
the growth of the plant may be i'm
poVerished, as we'll as to produce
thin stalk
The Italian wheat blooms at the be-
ginning of June and is pulled up by
hand, by the roots, when the grain
is half developed. Should it be allow
ed to remain in the ground longer
time, the straw would become too
brittle for the purpose for which it is
grown.
Uprooted straws, to the number of
about five dozen, the size of the COM
pass of the two hands, are firmly
tied together in little sheaves and
slowed away in barns. After that
the straw is again spread out to catch
the heavy summer dews and to bleach
in the sun. When the product has
been sufficiently bleached, it is put
into small bundles and classified.
The last step is to cut it close above
the first point from the top, when it
is again tied up in small bundles con-
tanning about SO stalks each, and is
then ready for the market.

Dear Readers: fel very much in
terested in the Woman's Page; as
am young housewife, and find all
the recepies very useful. l think it
SO good in Mr.. Watson, to allow us
women a page for discussing diff
ferent topics.
I certainly did appreciate the egg
custard recipe; l had very good luck
in trying them. | think S. T. P let
ters are very interesting too. I'd like
to know where they are from.
l don't see any letters from this
place, SO | trust the waste-basket
will be on another errand when my
letter comes in. I don't suppose it
will be Of much interest to the ladies,
and will make it short. | would like
to know how to cook jelly-roP.
Will someone send this recipe,
please?
Will some one tell me what to do
for disentery in poultry? I had 8
little incubator chickens and have
lost nearly the entire hatch. I will
appreciate same.

objects line the way-this is, for the
time, to shift our own personality
and all its cares and responsibilities
and Become, for. the moment, no
more than a mere observer of life.
But for the less fortunate there
are other and more accessible re-
treats; one of the easiest and pleas
anest being mere shifting of the
waking hours. To repair to the far

and rest all day, with a view to an
alert and observant watch of the
night hours, is an excellent escape
from the fret of the habitual At
night, the hours grow into wonderful
lengths of let; the noises of the
street are all changed, and the night
half-lights bring forth new detail in
the familiar house-fronts and hide
the customary darkness. New Wis

a change of thought is always a lit
tie run into the open and away from
the routine and rule of the narrowing

THE ESCAPE FROM THE IMdE-
DEATE

How it hits and pricks and pulls
and drives us-the immediate; it
seems to have a whole carpenters
chest Of tools to harry and hurt and
hasten us. The days are filled to the
very brim with breathless tasks and
duties and obligations and keeping
ourselves in the eyes of other folk.
Now we hustle hither and thither,
and we read this and that, and con-
coct the other, till our minds are
frittered away and our bodies are
sick and sore, and we can hardly
see two inches in front of us, SO en-
trammelled and enmesbed are we by
the close-woven web of the immedi-
ate. Itbears down so heavily upon us
that the air is Initiated, the view cut
off, and the soul hampered, and we
lose all sense Of our own vast free
dom.
In the midst of it all, the only rem
edy is to stand still awhile and meas
ure the means of escape; for from
most of the evils of life there is es-
cape, if enough will and wisdom are
applied. At least, we need never
feel that we are shut in cul-de-sac.
There is, after all, the opening.
The body may have become like a
mere sentiment cushion stuck full of
spiritual rims that prick and stab,
one may be wounded all over by the
jabs Of the immediate, and yet there
is an act Of the mind which can con-
troll the feelings Of the body. Alas!
We cannot all take ship and go to
Europe when the immediate is too
closely wrapped about us, although
for those who can and have kept
their conceptions alter, there is no
more effective escape. To enter
strange city at night-fall-to walk in
unknown ways where n face greets
us, no demands are made upon us,
and only strange chances and unknown

CLOTHES FROM sEAWEED.

A marine textile has been dis
covered in Australia. 1t is a sea-
plant of the genus Posidenia, which
is abundant in Spencer Gulf. This
plant contains fibres fit for CONVEX
sion into threads like cotton, Mixed
with wooden threads, it takes the dye
like pure wool.
The fabric woven from this plant
is excellent, among other purposes,
for coffeesacks. Attempts have been
made to use the weed instead of
hemp and wood pulp in paper-mak-
ing; and, though unsuccessful so far,
they are still in progress.
The weed from which this textile
is made is not of the present-day
growth, but consists of fossilized veg
citation, the softer parts of which
have decomposed. Leaving only the
hard and fibrous portions. The sup
ply is considered almost inexhaust-
ible.-Harper's Weekly.

BRUSHES AND BROOMS.

last longer if washed occasionally in
soapy water, or, better still, luke

tablespoonful of household ammonia
to two quarts of water is a good mix

stand in this for just a few minutes,
then rinse them thoroughly and
drain dry in a cool place.

ter OF Comrade Kathryne Spiers, Mr..
Watson CRATES as follows:
Just so, Mrs. Spiers has advanced
to about the position occupied by
the old Populists, and she honestly
believes that she is o representative
Socialist! She has not read the ex-
pose of Socialism, as set forth by
the one great leader of International
Socialism, Herr Bebel, who for more
than a quarter Of century has been
the universally acknowledged Moses
of the movement.
When Mrs Spiers shall have read
Woman Under Socialism," trust
she will compare its preachment with
the practices Of leading Socialists,
such as Gorky, Walling. London and
Heron. AS she has ordered my own
book. socialists and Socialism," T
would be glad to learn her opinion of
IT,
BY the way, see that De Leon, the
translator of Bebel's unspeakab1y
odious book, advertises what he calls
his fdebate' with Watson. He has
had no debate with me. Repeatedly,
but in vain, I challenged any repre-
sentative Socialist, Of national repu-
