of soft material, generally silk or satin
The gayer they are the better they are

with fine white net or thin white

Habits Of the Mole.

Naturalists aver that among common
animals few have been less studied in
their life history than the mole. Ac-
cordingly British scientist has turned
his attention to the mole, with the re-
suit that some interesting data con-
corning this queer creature have been
collected, says Harper's Weekly. I'm

structs above the surface Of the ground

ably found, is perpendicular run pen

of the nest and then turning upward
to meet another run. A mole is never.

nest, although it may be yet warm from
his body when opened. Guided by
smell and hearing, mole frequently
locates the nest Of partridge or

adult mole is practically blind, but
there are embryonic Indications that
the power Of sight in the race has de-

Il good plan to keep a bowl of cold
water at hand in which to dip the
fingers when working with, fruit of
any kind, as this helps to rinse off the

TO remove white marks on furniture
caused by heat or water hold hot iron
near them, not near enough to burn OF

FAMILY LIFE IN ANT TOWN.
Helpers. Nurses and Slaves Do the
Household Drudeery.

worth ones time to stoop down for a
moment or two, for community of
ants is an interesting study. says the
indianapolis News.
Perhaps you have failed to notice in
the earlier days of summer a swarm
OF insects which you carelessly called
gnats. These We're in all likelihood
male and female ants, and this was
their wedding dance The males fall
and die. and the females, plucking off
their own wings, for which they have
no further use, enter the ground to
lay eggs for new colonies.
The eggs are white and cylindrical.
The seNless ants, called neuters or
workers, pick up these eggs and carry
them to special chambers, where In
two weeks they become larvae. Stu
dents of ant life say that troop of
nurses now cares for the larvae, feed
the Infants, give them daily sun
bath and keep them clean These nurs-
cry ants are at first white, then gradu-
ally. change to brown, but they are as
yet only embryo. When the time comes
the workers tear off the envelope pro-
tecting them. Each one is set free,
the nurses feeding and caring for it
until 1t Is able to walk and never
leaving 1t until it Is able to care for
itself. In time the males and females
rise into the air, the males to perish as
their fathers did before them and the
females to return to the ant hill to
lay eggs for new colony
A troublesome little ant is the blood
red ant which invades our homes and
is specially fond of sweets. 1t is said
OF this species that it makes special
attacks on colonies of small black ants
and forces them to do all the house
keeping about their ant hills. The red
ants are said to take great care of
these slaves, which are taught to do
everything for their red taskmasters,
to lick them clean, to brush them. to
carry them on their backs and to rear
their young for them.

Children, This Part Is Yours
why WE NEED BLANKETS.
Our Circulation is Never as Vigorous
When We Rest


The blankets that we sleep under at
night are thicker and heavier and
warmer than the clothing we wear
during the day. They must be SO to
insure our comfort Why?
If we lie down on couch to take
nap in our day clothing we are almost
sure to take cold unless we add some
sort of covering. Why? These are
among the thousand and one common
things" that everybody knows without
stopping to think about the reason,
but there is reason for everything,
and we ought to find it out.
In this case the reason may be found
in the circulation of the blood. The
warmth of the body depends on the
circulation being vigorous, and when
we are lying down the hearts action
is much quieter than when we are sit
ting up or moving, the beats being
about ten less a minute.
If the beats are ten less each min
lite they are GOO less in one hour, and
in eight hours, an average nights
sleep. they are 1880 less, or, in round
numbers, they are 5000 less. AS the
heart sends out six ounces of blood at
each beat, it sends out or lifts about
10000 ounces less during eight hours
sleep than it lifts during the same
time when we are up. That makes
quite difference in the circulation
and therefore in the amount of heat
produced in the body. So we must
have heavier clothing when we sleep.

WOrnan's Section of the Paper
SKIRT WIDTH THE SAME.



roWness.
Much has been said and written
about the Introduction of Il wider skirt
Manufacturers of fabrics have watched
closely to see whether the Paris coutu-
riers would introduce wider skirt for
the coming season.
According to cablegrams, there will
not be Il much wider skirt worn this
fall than has been in favor during the
summer. 1t is true that the pannier
the diaped skirt and the plated skirt
nave made their appearance and call
for the use of more materials. but the
actual measurement around the bottom
is not greatly increased.
Although the plated skirts when
pulled out measure more than the
skirts of the present season, they are
all made with the plaits pressed fiat so
as not to give any appearance of full
ness, and the new accordion plated
models are also made on the same lines
that is, to give the narrow effect. So
despite the fact that there are num-
Der of new plated. draped and tlounced
skirts being made up for fall it is gen
orally conceded that the narrow APP
pearance will be preserved.
There are a few extremely narrow
skirts, slashed at the sides or front,
being shown in house or evening
gowns, but the smart women do not
look upon these styles with favor
They believe that the sensible skirt,
showing the Introduction of few kick
plaits, or the more elaborate garments
having the modified pannier will be the
most desirable for fall wear.

New York won tho opener by hitting Rixey's delivery hard in the third and fourth innings Tesreau pitched in grand style and after the game was given credit by the official scorer for a no-hit victory, although previously one hit had been recorded against him. The dispute play came in the first inning. Pas kert hit fly near the home base for which MerlSle and Wilson ran. Each fielder got under the ball, then, fearing collision, they permitted the ball to drop to the ground.
