Strange Facts About Animals.


There are many strange facts about
animals which no one has ever seemed
able to understand.
fly, for instance. will crawl to the
top of window pane, fly back to the
bottom, and crawl up again. Hardly
ever docs 1t fly up and crawl down.
Hens scratch for food always with the
sun behind them, SO that its rays will
reflect on the tiny particles. Yet
blind hen, for whom this reason does
not hold, always manages to get the
sun behind her when she scratches.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feet
to the fire. In most cases they lie In
stead with their left side turned to-
wards It. Dogs. however, invariably
lie with their forepaws to the fire. A
mouse overlooks a perfectly safe food
supply to enjoy the perilous pleasures
of an unlimited store.
Why does dog always turn round
two or three times before he lies
down? It is because his remote an
cestors had to scratch around in the
leaves or long grass for a bed before
they could find a convenient place in
which to lie.

Al oemaree, Leading Twlrer Of southern League

Demaree Is the leading pitcher
the Southern League. He is no raw
youngster. but this is the best season
he has ever had. He has been roam
ing around in the minors about five
years, and once had a brief trial with
the Yankees. No Southern League
pitcher has held the enemy to as few
runs and hits us Demaree. He has
eight or ten shutouts to his credit,
and it is largely through his efforts
that Mobile is in second place.
Demaree was one of the pitchers
who shut out the Giants for thirteen
innings in Mobile last spring when the
champions played scoreless tie with
the Sea Gulls. He Is a Highlander
with ability to mix EN- up" and
knows how to work batsmen. His
speed Is not remarkable, and he is not
a big chap.

TREATMENT OF FLOORS
HINTS THAT THE HoUsEkEEPER
WILL FIND HELPFUL.
White sheIlae Followed by Wax Polish
Best for Parquet Floors-oid
Floors Stained to
Match Rugs.

Even in new houses where hard
wood floors are fresh and clean. some
Of the rooms will look better stained.
For a parquet floor there is no bet
ter finish than to first fill with q
coat Of white shellac and then apply
wax evenly with a cloth. Let the
wax remain on several hours before
rubbing down to a high polish with
the weighted brush that comes for
this purpose With this simple finish
tho floors are easily kept bright by
being rubbed with the weight once
week and being busted daily with
an ordinary broom over which .
wooden cloth is tied.
Old floors may be stained to match
the rugs SO easily that one wonder
why 1t is not often done. Purchase
package of dye the tint you want
your floor. or you can get seal brown.
which will resemble walnut when
done. or light brown, which gives .
handsome shade. Dissolve in boiling
water as directed on the envelope and
apply with scrubbing or Z white
wash brush. When perfectly dry this
may be vanished. This finish may
also be used on homemade furni-
ture and on woodwork that has never
been painted.
Very often stains made at home
are more satisfactory than those al
ready mixed: a pound of dry color
costs in the neighborhood OF ten
cents. and this mixed with two
quarts of turpentine will give beau
tiful stains Of any desired color.
Burnt sienna mixed with turpentine
and applied to the floors with coarse
brush and then wiped off with q rag
before 1t Is entirely dry gives a beau
tiful mahogany stain. and the grain
Of the wood shows through beauti-
fully.
Raw sienna also gives a transparent
stain with a fine sunny yellow or
orange effect. according to how much
turpentine is used to dilute It with. 1t
Is good color for halls. as It does
not show the print of dust SO plainly
as darker stains do.
Prusstan blue Is a powerful stain
with great possibilities. Two or three
tablespoons of the dry color will be
sufficient for a half gallon of turpen-
tine. On yellow pine floor 1t gives
green and blue shades that blend
with blue hangings.
To keep fine gloss on vanished
floors do not wash with soapsuds, but
sprinkle with dairy salt or coarse salt.
Allow 1t to remain on FIVE minutes and
then sweep OF with a soft broom.
When you must wash painted or
vanished floors. put little kero-
sene in the water. This will give q
gloss.
Kitchen floors should never be COW
cred with carpet for dozens of rea-
sons that all good housekeepers know.
Linoleum is an ideal covering. II II
Is out Of the question several coats
Of good inside paint will be found
next best. Strips of carpet and rag
rugs prevent the paint wearing on
and soften the uncovered floor to
tired feet.-Henrietta D. Grauel,
Domestic Science Lecturer.

ScaId tho Pears,

Scald your pears Just as you do
your peaches for canning. 1t is best
to try few at first. as ripe pears left
in the boiling water too long will be-
come soft and those that are green
will not loosen from the skin unless
left in longer. The water must be
boiling hot. Then plunge the pears
in cold water until ready to peel.
when the skin will rub OF easily Re-
heat the water and use again. Do not
wash first. as the skin will not loosen
