Insane

Sometimes the United States Is re-
rerred TO as a Christian nation.
And sometimes a thing occurs
which enables us to see just what
SORT OF Christianity we have to prove
the claim withal.
Such a thing occurred the other
day in New York city. A working
man had saved up nearly $500. He
appeared on the street and began CIV
Ing this money away. To any who
wanted he gave.
Al once people In authority were
charged with the duty OF classifying
this man. Why did he give money
away? He was not a millionaire. He
needed and had actually earned this
morey. He seemed TO be giving II
70 others because he wanted them TO
have H.
Il gave him more pleasure to give
something he himself actually could
use than to use II himself

never thought OF classifying him as a
Christian.
A people who were familiar with
the letter OF the Golden Rule. never
thought that this man might have
thought, II have $500. | cannot keep
II while others want i should not
desire Others to keep $500 while I
wanted. Therefore, according TO the
command Whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even SO
10 them, | cannot keep $500 while
others are in want. so | will give IL
away"
So they took this ncomprehensible
man away and held an inquest to see
hat sort OF insanity he was afflicted
with!
Yet, in Jesus day these Christians
who learned directly OF Him did the
very thing this man was called crazy
for doing They sold all they had and
gave tC the poor.
They were communists, having all
| things in common"
And another crazy thing existed
we are told that none wanted"
They were poor, but they felt no
poverty.
Neither would any feel poverty to-
day IL all men would do wisely what
this New York working man did un

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The recap

The devotion OF Margaret Ryan TO

by any footlights heroine. The sleuth-
ing OF John Lake, who found Fors-
brey and the girl in their hiding
place. was worthy OF Holmes.
Margaret Ryan has been In love

years. She is little, slim, timid-look

she was caught smuggling saws and
mariatic acid to him. She promised

A position was obtained for her In
q store. After Forsbrey's escape the
precaution was taken Of setting Il
detectives to watch her, day and
night, the police suspecting that per-
haps she really hadn't quit him. As
che rode to and from her work in the
subway, four detectives rode with
her. They watched her home all
night, her place OF employment all
day.
One morning Margaret did not get
OF at her usual stop. The detectives,
watching her closely, stayed on the
train. She was too much for them.

RAISING POULTRY
ON THE FARM

The general purpose breeds of poul-
try, such as the Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, and
Orpingtons, should be kept on the
farm, rather than small-egg breeds or
small mongrel stock 1t should also
be remembered that the dark-plumag-
ed varieties do not, as a rule, look as
wei when dressed as poultry of other
colors.
Usually, more interest is taken with
a flock of fowls that are of the same
breed and color, and it is an estab-
lished fact that such flock produces
a more uniform product, which in
varis bly, secures to the owner higher
prices than can be derived from the
product of mongrel flock.
AS soon as the Matching season is
over all male birds should be market

AS soon IS the cockrels weigh
three-quarters of a pound they should
be penned for ten or twelve days and
fed all they will eat of corn chop or
a wet mash composed of two quarts
corn meal, one part bran, and one
part low-grade flour. If this mixture
can be dampened with skim milk, it
will add much to it's fattening and
bleaching qualities. Birds that are
being fattened should be fed in
troughs rather than in litter, as ex-
ercise at this time is not conductive
to rapid gains in weight. The birds
should be kept as quiet as possible

COTFFURES
ARRIVE FROM PARIS

Couture fashions in Paris have
been running riot of late, and the
most notable eccentriities that are
seen are concerned with the evening
caps, which are of all manner Of

Der of nationalities.
Eastern headdresses predominant
heavy with gold and ieweled ear
pieces, and disclosing wonderful tro.
plies of plumage. The raiah cap has
an aigrette in the center ascending
from a coruscation of simili diamonds,
emeralds, rubies and pearls.
Then there is a Persian cap, with
spun glass brush in the front spray
ed out like the tail of peacock AMI
held by a beautiful and dazzling bril-
liant ornament
Some of the national caps of France
have been copied more or less close

The Breton in gold lace incrusted with

back with a huge plume, is one of
them.
Eccentricities in couture arrange
ments abound. There is the Apacha

direct contrast to this morose lookins

She was a very successful business
woman. She had a charming suite of
apartments in a small family hotel
She went abroad twice year for her
firm, sometimes oftener. She dressed
stylishly. She was bright, lively, a
good talker and a general favorite
She had very good opinion of life,
the world, and incidentally herself.
And this is just the rock upon which
the character of many a success sful
business woman meets shipwreck She
becomes self-centered, self-absorbed
and eventually extremely selfish and
egotistical.
The evolution g gradual and it is
not to be wondered at Her position
brings her fattery from those who
need favors at her hands. Her con-
slant contact with the world and with
people, her trips abroad, keep her
bright, lively, entertaining She Is the
center of her business and social
world, and before she knows it, "l' is
the most frequent word on her tongue.
1t is a danger the business woman
needs to guard against, for no true
woman wants to degenerate,-fo that
is really the process,-into this sort
of person. No genuine woman wants
to become so self-absorbed that she
is interested in nobody's affairs but
her own. No true woman wants to
become so selfish that her concerns
must precede everybody else's, that
she never considers others rights, but
only her own. Yet insensibly, il she
isn't on her guard against it, she slips
into this condition.; that is. if she is
living alone and has no family ties TO
keep her heart warm ard herself hum
an.
And looking at the matter from a
practical side, the woman who let's
herself become so selfish and self
centered IS not only losing her sweet
est womanliness, but she is going
straight forward to final defeat. For
in time she will become not only a
bore, but her selfshness will turn peo-
pie against her When she can talk
of nothing but herself and her own
affairs, she becomes tiresome. When
she is always looking out for Number
One, and seeing that the best of every
thing comes her way, people become
d'sgusted. She defeats the very end
she has had in view. Popularity wings
it's way from her, to rest perhaps,

FOR INvALIDs.

With the aid of a carefully selected
assortment of small molds, wonders
can be accomplished in the way of
simple but enticing desserts; gelatine,
junkets, custards, blanc manages, and
even the humble tapioca or rice pud-
ding acquiring new and undreamed-of
allurements when turned out in fancy
forms and dressed with a cream or
custard sauce to which has been i'm
parted an unfamiliar tint by the addi-
ton of very little vegetable color
ing.
Attractive effects may be secured by
filling one-half of mold with bright
colored jelly-as raspberry or orange
and the other half with blanc mango,
the jelly, of course, being allowed to
harden before the latter is added. An
other novel effect is produced by fill
ing a scooped-out orange rind with
successive layers of gelatine of three
different colors and flayors. When
hardened, the orange is cut into five
sections, which are left joined at the
base so that they fall apart like the
petals of lotus. In the center is
placed a spoonful of whipped cream
over which a bit of the yellow rind is
grated to suggest the tips of the
stamens.-Harper's Bazaar

PETTlcoAT POCKET.

A novelty of the season which will
be received by many women with
gratitude is the petticoat with pockets,
which has been made in a really prac-
teal manner, with two ample pockets,
one on either side, for the accom-
mediation of treasures too precious to
trust to the handbag, says the New
York Herald. Especially will this be
useful now that the season of travel
ing from place to place is about to set
in. The petticoat is made of satin
and the pockets are equipped with
flaps so that they will be entirely safe.

The CARE OF The EYES.

One of the most important things
to consider in connection with caring
for the eyes is the bath. and this
should preferably be of rain or distill-
ed water A pinch of salt we'll dis
solved, adds value to an eye bath,
and a most soothing wash, which is
administered in a little eye-cup that
fits over the open eye, is made by
dissolving a level teaspoonful of pure
boric acid in a quart of filtered or
distilled water.
Boric acid must be dissolved in boil
ing water, and then added to the rest
in a quart bottle. Although every
body knows that one eye may often
have an ailment not shared by the
other, few remember to refrain from
using the same cup for both eyes
without washing it after the first has
been bathed.-Harper's Bazaar.

The woman in question would prob
ably be very much amazed if she
were told brutally how selfish and
self-centered she is. 1t would have to
be done brutally, and it is doubtful if
even then it would have it's effect
For this condition apparently makes
its victims blind and deaf They
neither see nor hear what is patent to
all others. SO self-satisfed are they,
that they still think they are the idol
of their friends, and that the best of
al the earth is by right theirs. But al.
ready it is plain to those who know
this woman that unless she wakes up
to the change that has gone on within
her, she will soon be friendless and de-
serted except for sycophants.
And so it is worth while for the
successful business woman to keep
a sharp lookout. For this is one of
the perils of this rather unknown sea
women are sailing. 1t is not all chart
ed yet and many a woman has lost
her precious cargo of sweetness and
unselfishness and true womanliness on
this hidden reef.
