The Hague. Holland.-The Dutch
government. recognizing the utility
OF birds, has long sought means to de-
fend them from the danger Of the
powerful lighthouses especially Of the
electrically operated "Brandaris"
light on the island of Terschelling
Thousands of the birds annually met
their death there and a government
commission was appointed to inquire
into ways and means of stopping the
slaughter. This commission. headed
by the noted ornithologist. J. Thyssen,
passed several nights in observation
at the Brandaris light during the mi
grating season.
As soon as the light shone forth
from the tower flights Of birds would
approach. Then they would continue
to circle about like moths around a
candle. All night they flew round
and round, while few few directly

DISHWASHING IS ART

washing dishes and preparing food

There were other opinions to re
ceive favor. Incidentally, Mrs. D.
Harry Hammer. Mrs F. K Bowes
and several other women, clad in fine
dresses and wearing costly jewels,
not only admitted, but took pride in
announcing that they were not
strangers to household duties.
IL would rather wash dishes than

Even with the widespread interest

standard Of domestic occupations,

FRENCH NOW DRINKING TEA
Seems to Have Become Not ONLY
Fashionable, but PopuIar-62U,-
100000 Cups Drunk In 1909.

Paris.-Tea drinking in France
seems to have become not only fash
ionable. but popular. Its increasing
vogue Is shown by the revenue re-
turns for 1909, which show con-
sumption of 1898 tons. Reckoning a
pinch of tea a cup, this represents
about 620.OO0.00O cups drunk in the
course of the year.
Ten or fifteen years ago tea was
regarded in France as semi-medical
concoction. to be used 10 restore
fainting women. It was classed
among the mild liquids commonly
known as "tisanes." and in the prov
inces, at any rate. people who ex-
pressed a liking for tea as a beverage
were looked upon as "snobs" or &C.
centres.
Nowadays the fashion has spread
all over the country, and no hotel
would be likely to perpetrate such an
absurdity as the famous announce.

Chicago.-"Women must be edu-
Gated down to the kitchen, and the

This was the verdict of prominent
Chicago Club women, when they de-
cided that women themselves are to

The occasion was the eleventh an
nual reciprocity meeting and anniver-
sary Of the Aircraft Institute and

according to Professor Maynard. the
noted educator here. In rather
starting statement. the professor de.
clares that as result of study of
snakes he is convinced that had they
been able to develop hands and feet
instead of being obliged to crawl, their
brains would have enabled them to

GUARD AGAINST EVIL
Ornaments Supposed to Ward
Off Disease and Bring Luck.
Although Most People Profess to
Laugh al Idea of Wearing Them
Purely for Luck, Vet Charms
Are Popular With Many.

London.-Perhaps the instinct to
avert the evil eye is born in our ma
lures Civilization had lessened it to
great extent, but in every race
we find an instinct exists. The wear
ing of nearly all personal adornment
seems to have originated in an idea
Of pacifying evil deities.
The savage wears ornaments SYM
bolizing the protective powers sup
posed to be able to keep away harm
or danger. In the West Indies there
is bean or seed which the natives
think possesses many valuable prop
critics. If carried In the purse they
say the owner will never want for
money; if hung on a watch chain good
luck will ever be with the wearer. But
woe betide the man who loses his pre-
cious charm. The East Indian leaves
tiny corner of his embroidery unfin-
fshed to propitiate- the gods. the dnsky
mother calls her baby hard names
for fear her love should bring ill for
tune upon him.
In England superstitious country
folk tie amulets around their necks to
prevent disease. Some of the earliest
Of these were skillfully wrought by
the people who Inhabited this country
thousands of years ago and treated
flint much the same as a cameo, pro-
ducing varied effects by cutting
through into the different layers Of
color. Several examples of this prac-
tically lost art may be seen in the
museum at Ipswich. They are carved
to represent the heads of men and
women. birds, fishes and reptiles, and
are for the most part cleverly and
prettily done.
The fossil belemnites found on many
of our coasts embedded in the rocks
were once thought to be thunderbolts
and were worn as charms by fisher
folk. Farmers in ancient times dec
GRATED their horses by hanging anu
lets and gypsy fetish charms among
their trappings to insure good har-
vest These amulets were frequently
associated with the worship of the sun
and were of Egyptian. Moorish and
Persian origin.
Although most people profess to
laugh at the idea of wearing them
purely for luck or from superstitious
motives, yet charms are worn still with
good hluMored liberation and. for rea-
sons none can explain, secretly favor
ed, just in the same way that sober
minded men and women cling tena-
ciously to crooked sixpence and
= treasure three-penny bit with hole
in it as omens Of good luck.
A pink coral hand in Italy is sup
posed to ward off the evil eye and
plays its part in ornaments. Ruby
ornaments are supposed to disperse
evil spirits and are considered pro-
lection from poison and other dire
evils. Emeralds Danish blindness. Gar
net ornaments are supposed to keep
one in good health; the sardonyx in
sures happiness. The sapphire keeps
off fever Amethysts keep off worries.
turquoise means that you will never
want friend. A four leaved clover
in crystal locket is favorite charm
and is said to bring good fortune and
long life to it's wearer. Jade also has
reputation for a luck bringer
