RAFFIA HAT FOR WINTER
Sounds Rather Unseasonable TOT
Frigd Weather, but Is All Right
at That.

The rafia hat will do very good
service for evening wear even now.
But what it is chiefly designed for is
evening make-in other words, very
pleasant and profitable way to spend
the idle hours that come, more or less
frequently, to all of us.
The hat is of braided raffia, natural
colored or dyed, and made by hand
from beginning to end. First, it is
plated in long strips, just as tightly
and as evenly as possible. When you
have about two dozen of your thin
"pigtails," start sewing them together,
round and round, forming the crown
first A paper pattern, cut out from
any broad picture hat you may have,
will serve as a model.
By thus braiding and sewing at the
same time you can get an idea OF how
much raffia you will need. When you
get to the brim, plat more Loosely, as
the 'f1oppy' effect is picturesque and
desirable. Lined with silk, the rama
hat makes a charming frame for
young face.
The older women may desire some
thing more in the line of turban.
This is obtained by braiding loosely
and winding the raffia round and
round upon itself. Of course, if you
wish, you may work over wire or
canvas foundation, but where stiffen-
ing really seems necessary it is best
to give it by means of milliner's wire,
which can be sewed just where need
ed. The fashionable turbans nova

ears, and are so soft and close-ftting
that they need no pins to hold them.
seem to cry aloud for raf1a as their
material.
There are great possibilities here

KIDDING POULTRY OF MITES
Insect Powder Used With Success by
Maine Experiment Station and
at Cornell.

The following formula for Kidding
poultry of mites and other external
parasites has been used with great
success by the Maine experiment sta
ton and in the Cornell university.
ThiI, powder is made at a cost of only
a few cents per pound. Take three
parts of gasoline and one part of crude
carholic acid. Mix these together and
add gradually, with stirring enough
plaster Of paris to take up all the
moisture. Stir so thoroughly that the
liquid will be uniformly distributed
through the plaster. The resulting
mixture should be a dry, pinkish,
brown powder, having fairly strong
carbolic odor. Work this powder into
the feathers Of the affected fowls. II
one application is not enough, a Sec

one foot in diameter. The triggers
that set the trap are planted in this,
A short rope is tied from the end of
the pole to one of the triggers as
shown. Around the supports is a
moose about six inches from the
ground and just long enough to reach
around when the snare is set. The
upright trigger is driven in the
ground deep enough to hold the pole
down, and all the triggers are pro-
tected by stakes, as shown at the
right The bait is placed on the end
of the trigger inside the moose. Any
one can make this trap and prove it's
effectiveness.

The Lace Cap.

Sometimes it goes under hat, and
sometimes it doesn't.
At any rate, it is extremely popular
and quite enchantingly dainty.
Sometimes it is only foppy frill OF
lace sewed into the crown of the hat,
to fall over the hair beneath the wide
brim.
Sometimes it is a whole little cap,
worn under the hat to the theater,
which remains on the head after the
hat is removed.
They are made, frills and caps both.
of either white lace or metallic lace

Again the cap is worn simply as

est rosebuds or feathers, and fitting
the head rather closely.

Due PRECAUTIONS.

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be a place where, II
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, I'M
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. AT
the close of the open-air service one
of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:

the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
Il reckon l knew 1t well, for I'd
been told of it," said the preacher.

as he might be, and anyway. l put my

SOME SEWING MACHINE HINTS
Little Annoyances That May BE
Avoided If These Tips Are Fol-
lowed.

When much machine work has to
be done, filling the shuttle is a con-
slant annoyance. This can be partly
obviated by threading the shuttle
with finer cotton than that used on
the needle. The sewing will be quite
as strong and the shuttle will not need
refilling half so often as it would ii
threaded with the same number or
cotton as the needle, because the bob
bin will hold a great deal more OF the
finer cotton.
If you want your sewing machine to
do satisfactory work, remember that
it needs to be kept clean. After every
ten hours work it needs oil; but all
surplus oil must be carefully wiped
off afterward. Always work it stead
lily and never start or stop with a
Jerk.
The best way to finish of machine
seam is to turn the material round and
stitch back for about an inch. This
saves tying the ends of cotton, which
is annoying work and takes up good
deal OF time if there are many seams.

Girl 80 uer COMPLEXION.

A clear complexion and fine skin
are the gifts of nature, but they may
be marred to great extent by injudi-
cious foods, just as an ordinary COM
plexion and skin may be considerably
improved in appearance by carefully
chosen diet. Strong tea and coffee, Ia
ken frequently, rob the skin of its
whiteness and the complexion of its
freshness and clearness, while milk
and water are in every way beneficial
to health and beauty. The girl who
drinks milk instead of the darker bev
erages will keep her complexion pure
and fair, and if she does not wish to
sacrifice her good looks to her palate
she will eat charity of rich, fat foods
cheese, cakes, pastries. sugar and sc
on and take freely of fruits and greer

SECURING A LAYING STRAIN
Watch Carefully Production of Birds

To breed up a laying strain there
is no better way than to watch care

purposes from birds whose general
character as winter layers will bear
examination. He must be poor poul-
try-keeper who has not observed in
dividual birds who can be classed as
frst-rate layers, and if eggs from
such birds are Matched the owner can
depend upon benefting himself by
the progeny raised, and have the add
ed pleasure of benefting agriculture
generally. The observant poultry
keeper will soon learn to distinguish
the good layers, for such hens or pull

follows:
Take one pound of sulphate of iron
and two ounces of sulphuric acid and
dissolve in one gallon of rain or soft

mixture to each gallon of drinking
water. The fowls should have no
other water to drink when the Doug

Hens in confinement, to do their
