Poultry Pickings.

poses None but the brightest and best

Great care is necessary in collecting

Any Boy Handy at carpentsring Can
De II and Wait For Christmas.
In almost every household there IL
some one who is handy with tools.
says the American Agriculturist.
To prove its assertion it prints the

and picture that shows the result of
painstaking effort.

books is an adornment to any house

something extra from mother In his

Here are the rules to follow:
In the use of all edge tools, If you
would avoid cracks and splitting, be
patient and do not attempt to remove
wood too rapidly, although the tools
should be always kept with perfectly
sharp edges. There is much marking
out to do, and as this must be accu-
rately done good sharp pencil should
always be at hand. In sandpapering
it is best to wrap the paper around
a block, as the result is more uniform
than when the paper is supported by
the hand alone.
The three shelves, which are identi.
cal in every particular, should be
smoothly finished, giving particular
attention to the ends, as these are
visible through the side strips. In or

Don't Be a Wet Hen.

and which not to do. finally
decided it did not make much
difference just so the most i'm
portant things were done, and |
kept my temper, not that | was
in the habit of losing it often,
but that | would not allow the
duties of home to make me fret
full. l settled the question early
that my children should not in
later years think of mother as
an "old wet hen," and of home
as a place where mother worried
herself, and everyone around her
about the things that woulden't
stay fixed, and the things that
would not be fixed.
| want to tell you mothers, not
harshly, however, that many of
you make your children miser-
able, and you don't know it, by
fretting so much about the work
and if you were to ask them af-
ter they had homes of their own
what you guess mother is doing.
they would say. "Oh, just fret
ting around there you know she
always frets, but it wouldn't be
mother if she didn't fret
You see she woulden't seem nat
ural to them if she didn't fret.
Now young mothers, l ask you,
with a heart full of love, to con-
slider this subject. You are
young and can keep yourself from
falling into this habit, and for
the sake of your children, and
the peace Of your home don't be
