if water has been put inside. Seams
will steam open now and then-if
the opening is downward there will
be a leakage and much bother.

in the water and serves to give the
bathers confidence.
A stake anout six feet high that
stands in some open place in the
yard will be used by several birds as
a lockout from which to watch for
insects. The kingbird will dart from
it to catch flies; tie blue jay will
perch on it to watch for beetles and
caterpillars in the grass and robins
and wood-thrushes will take flying
hop to it-seemingly on general
principles.
Nesting places, when they can be
provided, are best of all-box houses
or dead tree trunks with old wood
pecker's holes for bluebirds, wrens
and chickadees; brush-piles and
goose-berry bushes for catbirds and
brown thrashers, and old dead limbs
left on dying trees for downy wood
pecker and fiickers.-Craig S. Thoms.

COMPARE YOUR HANDWRITING
WITH THESE RULES.

In the August Woman's Home
Companion appears an interesting
article entitled what Your Hand
Writing Tells Illustrations Of va
rious kinds Of handwriting are ex-
hibited, together with explanations of
the various kinds of character that
they reveal. Following is an extract
from the article:
"Since the affections play a domi-
nant part in human nature, it is but
natural that their presence should be
manifested by pen tendencies which
are distinct and apart. To the slope
Of the script we have to look to de-
termine the amount of affection or
love resident in the individual.
Where the writing slants to the
right, sentiment and deep feeling
hold an important place all through
life. An exaggerated slope betrays
sentimentality, and in some instances
spirituality and a boundless love for
humanity.
Should the penmanship be verei-
cal, the intellect is in the ascend
ant. The heart would rarely be
severely hurt by any calamity, for
philosophy is really the guiding mo-
tive. And far more is this SO when
the natural inclination is toward a
backhand. Here Indifference and
GOODNESS reign supreme. When the
writing slopes now in this direction
and now in that, the sway Of the
emotions is constant 1t shows
love that seesaws, for it has no sta
bility. Fortunately for the human
race, ninety per cent. of handwrit-
ings incline to the right, indicating
that love is, after all, the highest
influence at work.

MY PAPER BAG COOKING EXPE-
RIMENTS.
BY Martha McCuEIoch Williams.

When Soyer's paper bag method
of cooking was first brought to my
attention by friends, who, rightly or
wrongly, seem to have a high opinion
of my abilities as a cook, I admit
that | was skeptical Of its practical
bility. Indeed, I was more than that
i was rather firm in my belief that
it could not prove out. But l was
induced to put the system to a trial
and, 10 and behold!-the very
first trial made me an enthusiastic
follower of M. Soyer. Since then I
have been doing all my cooking by
the Soyer method, and each succeed
ing day more than ever convinces me
that any woman, simply by follow
ing Soyer's general directions, and
using that good common sense and
care which are essential to all good
cooking, can master the SOyer paper
bag method of cooking in very
short time, and will find it a great
boon both to herself and to all the
members of her household.
Following NJ. Soyer's general di-
rections for paper bag cookery, 1
speedily learned that there are sun
dry commandments to be observed
while pursuing his method of cook
ing.
The first and greatest of these is
to get the right bag, which is made
specially for cooking, is parafned,
odorless even when crumbly- crisp,
sanitary and to be had in sizes big
enough to hold Thanksgiving tur-
key, or tiny enough for a single
chop.
Next, nearly as important, is to
grease the bag inside literally, using
butter, lard, oil, drippings or very
fat rind of bacon.
Further, proportion your bag-size
to what it is destined to hold. The
closer the fit of bag and contents.
the better, and the more even and
compact the lay Of the food, the less
trouble in handling.
Use a footed wire broiler, or very
open grd-shelf, in the oven. All pa
per bag cooking is done in the oven.
If q gas oven, it must be lighted eight
to ten minutes before putting in the
food and kept at blazing heat until
the bag corners scOrch lightly; then
slacken the heat a third or even half

ATTRACTING BIRDS IN SUMMER.


The things that most attract birds
are food, water to drink, opportunity
to battle, and safe nesting-p places.
In summer food is so abundant
everywhere that most birds pay no
attention to dishes Of food provided
for them; but if scraps from the ia
BILE are thrown into a pan or kettle
and placed in the middle of the
yard, the blue jays and cat birds will
feed upon them, and if the dish con-
tains yolk Of egg, the orioles will
find it out, and carry this precious
food to their young.
The attraction for the largest
number Of birds in summer, how
ever, is water Drive stake in the
middle of the yard, away from all
bushes and trees where cats may
Turk; saw the stake off two feet from
the ground; nail to the top of it a
block of wood one foot square; set
on this block a dish or pan at least
the size of the block, and about three
inches deep: cover the bottom of the
dish with sod from which all the
dirt has been shaken.
To this bath will come, both to
drink and battle, robins, orioles,
grOsbeaks, catbirds, blue Jays, blue
birds, wrens, wood-thrushe flick
ers, purple grackles-in fact, all the
birds of the neighborhOod. The
open place and the elevation make
such bath safe from cats, and also

of an older person, it does
seem that they are unusually
irresponsible and self indulgent
Young men who have not in actual
age reached their twenties think
they must have the pleasures and
allowances of older ones and the
younger set of girls expect the same
attentions as are paid the young
ladies, and so it goes on down
almost to the tots Of six and seven:
The parents and circumstances as
well as conditions are all to blame
for the present day extravagances,
and the efforts Of one or two parents
to "stem the tide" seem of no avail
as they are regarded "old timers,
out of date, and wanting to inter-
fere with the good times of young
people. | think one of the hardest
lots of parents to meet, is the out
side influences that often count for
so much more than the love and care
of devoted home people. 1t seems to
me that sometimes parents really
have the right to become discouraged
with the entire needless generation.

METHODS OF BANISKING FLIES.

nuisance, but it is dangerous as
we'll. It is a well established fact
that flies carry the germs of typhoid
and other dangerous diseases. So it
should be the aim of every house
wife to Danish or keep down as
much as possible these enemies to
health and cleanliness. It has been
discovered flies are attracted by
smell more than any thing else.
this has been proved by the num-
bers found on the screen door or
windows of the kitchen when some
special kind Of cooking was going
on, as, for instance, preserving. On
the same principle it is thought flies
have dislike Gas we'll as a liking)
for certain odors as a preventive.
Not necessarily anything disagreed
BILE. For instance, flies are said to
detest the smell of sweet clover, and
that bags made from cheesecloth Or
mosquito netting filed with clover
blossoms and hung about the room
will drive the dreaded insects away.
Bunches Of sweet lavender or few
drops Of the oil sprinkled in the
room will have the same effect.
Another method is to wash the win
doWs with water containing kero-
sene, or wipe off window stills with
a kerosene rag.
To prevent flies resting on the
woodwork of a room or the picture
frames paint with water in which
onions have been boiled The odor
will only be apparent to the flies
and keep them out of the room.
Of course it is necessary to use
screens even with the precautions
given, and take care the screens are
unbroken. Flies will creep through
the tiniest hole. To mend a screen
take a piece OF netting larger than
the hole.
Ravel this patch, pulling out a
few threads, and then bend the
fringe at right angles. Place the
patch over the hole and push the
fringe through the mesh. Now
bend the fringe again, by placing a
wooden board on one side of the
screen, hammering down lightly on
the other.
This patch will hold good, and
not appear unsightly. AS the wire
netting is apt to be thin around the
hole, patch of ample size should
be applied Otherwise the new may
break away from the old.
Agood homemade sticky fly pa
per is made by mixing rosin and
sweet oil together until thick as
molasses. Spread on sheets of ma
nilla paper. Two sheets may be
placed together, and when wanted
be pulled apart.
Laudanum sweetened with sugar
and mixed with water will attract
flies. They will drink and then die.
Needless to say this remedy should
be kept away from children and pet
animals.
Flies may also be destroyed by
