der not to be overlooked, with the re- suit that both in town and out of town, at easement with and without a window seat, the lace curtain stop ping within a foot and a half of the floor, has a wider vogue that the longer curtain. These curtains may be bought in all over fancy lace, real or imitation, at prices to suit most pocketbooks, but the most used and best liked of the medium priced grades are made of plain, sheer fab rics finished with a fancy border. In fact it is the border which counts most now, whether in the real or i'm itation lace variety. Three kinds of material ; particularly appropriate are plain scrim, pure white, cream white and ; cream; perfectly plain Swiss muslin, and Swiss muslin with a narrow raised stripe in it. These are suitable for any room, whereas the plaided and dotted muslins are used more especially for bedrooms. Two or three kinds of lace may be included in the border or segments of some kind connected with an open work beading.

LAWS AFFECTING WOMEN.
At Least They'd Have Been Laws if
 the Men Had Passed Them.

f'Women have all the rights they need and more privileges than are good for them,'' is a common reply to any feminine talk about wanting to vote Another favorite declaration is that ''in New York State women are not only equal with men before the law but they have a distinct ad- vantage" People who say these things may be interested in the fol- lowing list of amendments to laws discriminating against women.
 These amendments, says the Wo- men Lawyers Journal, were intro- duced in the Legislature last winter:
 One giving the mother equal rights with the father in the property of their children. At present the fa- ther is the next of kin and sole heir of the child.
 One making the parents joint guardians of the property of their children At present the father is the sole guardian.
 One giving the surviving husband or wife an equal share in the others property.
 One providing that the will of a man who subsequently, marries shall be revoked, the same as the will Of an unmarried woman.
 One g1Vlng ndrrled Wollaii Ile right to carry on any business, trade or occupation with her husband and share in the profits. Now the joint earnings of husband and wife belong to the husband.
 One giving a married woman the right to any compensation derived from any business, trade or occupa- tion carried on by her within or with out the household. At present the services of a married woman in and about the household belong to the husband; this includes taking board CTS, nursing the sick, sewing, wash ing, etc.
 One making all sums that may be recovered in actions or special pro- ceedings by a married woman to re- cover for her services the separate property of the wife. At present they belong to the husband.

CONSIDERATION IN DRIVING.
Distinction Between Use and Abuse of
 Motor Car

IT we take the mechanical side of the question, vast field of thought is laid bare for investigation, and it is certa1ly moot point as whether many drivers. from the most scrup- ulously careful to the most egregious- ly negligent, ever give very much thought as to what is actually taking place in the various working details of the mechanical anatomy of the machine they are driving.
 Modern engineering genius has brought the motor car of to-day to such high degree of efficiency that, to all intents and purposes, it is hard to conceive any very great improve ment in it's general construction, says London Motor. In most of the high grade cars now on the market, there is also very high degree of excel lence observable in constructive de- practically nothing to do except steer and actuate the throttle, and it is undoubtedly this ultra pliflcation of the personal attention requisite for the well-being of the mechanism, that tends to alienate the drivers thoughts from supervising the operation of his machine.
 On the other hand. if we take the number of drivers who always treat their machines with thorough con- sideration, and who can honestly say they are never guilty of unnecessarily harsh treatment, it is. doubtful wheth- CT the number would reach a very large percentage.
 For example, how many people draw up their cars in, say 20 feet, when there is no earthly reason why they should not utilize 40? Here is a case in point, frequently occurring.
 Assume man to be driving in city traffic and to see a 'tblock" at the cor ner which he is approaching. What are his actions? Does he at once slow down, and gently glide up to his position at the rear of the other vehicles, or does he go merrily on, only arresting his progress in the last few yards by a more or less vigorous application of his brake, whereas, as likely as not, his momentum, when he first noticed that the traffic was ar rested, would have just suff1ced to take him to his position, with possibly the merest touch, of the brake to finish up with?
 A similar lack of consideration for the car is also frequently shown when driving into garages, etc, though it must be admitted that the chief delinquents in this case are the professional drivers. It is hard to eX- seems to be a degree of self-laudatory exultation in the triumph of mind over matter, and the driver, instead of allowing the glory to the designer and manufacturer of the car seems to have an inherent inclination to make it patent, both to the car itself and anyone who may happen to be near, that he and he only, controls its every movement.
 When he says "go'' it has to go, and when he says 'stop" it has to stop, even though its very frame may shiver and tremble with the injustice of the unreasonable demands so sud- denly and thoughtlessly made upon it.

GAME OF MINDORO.
The Rare TamaraO-Plenty of Wild
 Carabao. Boar and Deer.

"A paradise for hunters" is the way Judge Liddell describes the country in the vicinity of his home and plantation on the southeast coast of Mlndoro. One game MindorO excels in is the ta- marao rareSt of animals and one which is found only in Mindoro. This fierce animal, much like an American buffalo, is held in universal dread by every native on the island, who looks on him as a far more formidable crea- ture than the maddest of wild cara baos
 The tamarao is seldom seen in clear ings because he sticks to his native wilds. When he does come near a clearing the natives in that vicinity make for the nearest shelter. For the tamarao does not wait to attack. He takes the initiative himself, charging erery one and everything in sight.
 Mrs Liddell, wife of Judge Liddell, is perhaps the only white woman who has ever seen a tamarao. few weeks ago one came within fifteen feet of the window of the Liddell kitchen, where she was instructing the cook, and peered in. The natives in the neighborhood took to their heels and then the tamarao quietly walked off
 But if the tamarao is the piece de resistance among the game of Mindoro it is not the only game to be found on the island There are myriads of deer, wild chickens and game birds of all sorts. There are also plenty of wild boars on the island, some of them of extraordinary size and none of them noted for their docility. Judge Liddell has one tusk fully IS inches long. which charged the hunters repeatedly before he was shot down.
 Wild carabao hunting is another pastime of the Midoro planters and one that is not destined to soothe the nerves of weak hearted men. These big animals are at all times dangerous. and when once wounded or angered will charge their hunters with all the ferocity of an African buffalo.
 James Liddell a son of the Judge, had an experience with one of them recently that will not be forgotten in hurry. He was hunting and shot the big fellow. knocking him off his feet. AS the carabao lay still he ap- preached him and when not foot away the carabao leaped to his feet and charged.
 There was no time for a shot, so young Liddell did the only thing open 70 him-grappled with the infuriated beast Three times the animal gored him. and finally the boy made his es- cape What the FilipinOs in his party regarded as the miraculous feature of the accident was the fact that the carabao had permitted him to escape.

Helpful Suggestions.

Much depends upon the care the little chicks get at the start.
 Scatter ashes around the currant and gooseberry bushes.
 Treat yourself and the mother to a strawberry patch this year. Start today
 Scratch little grass seed into the bare spots when cleaning up the yard. Later 1t will look better.
 Have you cleaned, oiled and re- paired the work harness?
 Watch the shoulders of the blow horses. They are easily made sore
 Clean the fence corners and destroy the insect eggs deposited in dry places. grass, and other trash.
 Plant shade trees. Their cool shelter will be valuable after awhile. after a winters idleness.
