SIMPLICITY IN THE HOME.
There Is Such a Condition as Having
Too Many Furnishings.

Many nervous. irritable. dissatisfied,
unhappy women would become calm
and contented if they would store, give
or throw away half of their belong
ings. Some have abandoned elegant
residences and taken their families
into hotels or boarding houses who
could have continued to keep up their
homes if, instead of giving up their
houses themselves. they had done away
with the superhuous furnishings.
Some one, often the mistress herself,
must clean and care for every article
of furnishing, no matter how humble
its use or how ornamental its function.
and this round of duties proves many
times to be a grievous burden on deli
cate shoulders.
There is such thing possible as hav-
ing too many utensils and tools to
work with, so that taking out. replac-
ing and keeping them clean and in or
der add to the daily labor. Too much
furniture in room. so that walking
through it seems Il perilous attempt to
steer a course without disaster. too
many garments to wear. for time is
consumed in caring for them, and even
in choosing what to put on.-Suburban

Grain Scenario.

Chicago, July 10-Low grain points
in all grains for July will presumably

wheat scenario is painfully familiar.

Corn crop inception is unusually fav-

WAGNER'S REVIEW

New York, July 10.-The stock mar
get will be governed for the time be-
ing by sentiment. There will be a
turn in the tide and careful observers
think they see a slight Improvement
underway as shown by the good coke
market, better inquiry for pig iron,
and excellent crop outlook, consider
ing crops as a whole. The years har-
vest will be good probably close to
nine billion in value. Washington
states that President Wilson will take
a hand in the trainmen's wage dis
pute, and expects to bring about an
agreement The Erdman law is to be
amended, il the plan goes through.
This disposed of. there should be lit
tie to disturb except the Balkan mat
ter. Omitting for the moment the i'm.
portant factor of congested securities,
we would not get too pessimistic; buy
on the drives. sell out on the bulges.

A Widows Curious Cap.

A very curious cap forms the vivid
ow's weeds" of the Australian aborigine
in one part of the great island CONT
nent. Near the northeast bend of the
Murray river it is the custom for wild
Ows to attend upon the tombs of their
departed lords. Then after shaving
their heads they cover them with pipe
clay kneaded into paste. The head
is first covered with q net to prevent
the clay from sticking too tightly to
the skin. a misfortune which is partly
averted by the amount of grease with
which every Australian native is anoint-
ed. A layer of this clay several inches
in thickness is plastered over the head
and when dry forms a sort of skullcap
exactly fitting the head on which it
was nodded. AS it weighs several
pounds, the widows cap cannot be
comfortable.

A CAMPAIGN or ODDITIES.
When the Log Cabin and Hard Cider
Enthusiasts Reioiced.

When the Log Cabin and Hard Cider
Enthusiasts Reioieed.
Political enthusiasm has taken many
forms during the lifetime of this ma
ton. The Harrison-Van Buren, presi-
Dental campaign of 1S40 was in some
respects the most remarkable the coun-
try has ever seen. From May till No
vember,' says one historian. 1t seemed
as if all ablebodied citizens simply
went about in professions to attend
mass meetings
The great oddly of the campaign
was the log cabin. the coon and the CT
der barrel. The log cabin idea origi-
mated with an opposition paper which
had said slightingly that William
Henry Harrison better go back to In
diana and stay there in his log cabin
drinking hard cider"
The taunt was taken up by Harri-
sons followers. Log cabins sprang up
all over the Union In every town
there was house warming. and the log
cabin was thrown open to the public
amid general rejoicing. On the roof
was a live raccoon. and a barrel OF
cider stood before the door. where any
one who desired might drink all he
chose.
1t was campaign Of oddities. Some
OF the symbols have never been sur
passed for genuine absurdity.-Maga

Liverpool, July 10.-Wheat opened

4 Duck Eating Frog

A recent freak happening In Dexter
was discovering duck eating frogs
in the mill pond which lies behind the
stores on Main street and which sup
plies the water for S. l.. Smalls grist
mill. +. II. Hayes owns some high
bred ducks which he keeps in an Is
closure behind his office on Wall
street. The ducks have the freedom
of the mill pond Friday one of these
ducks had her brood of young, which
arrived Thursday, into the mill pond
for their first swim. The ducks all,
save one, reached shore safely and
were apparently delighted with their
first marine experience. One little
duckling was missing and the old
bird was seen to plunge Into the
water several times. Onlookers, Who
had failed to notice the absence or
the youngster until the others. reach
cd shore, thought the old bird had
attacked the missing duck. The old
bird diyed and plunged about In the
water as If her wits had deserted her.
She finally came ashore and not long
after big frog made Its appearance
floating In the water, apparently In
jured. In the afternoon the duck and
her brood started for another swim
and Eddie Clukey, clerk In the Roberts
shoe store was watching the pertor-
mances when out darted the big frog
and made in the direction of the duck
lings. Right then Mr.. Clukey, who
had watched the queer performance or
ting morning, decided that the frog had
swallowed the young duck and selling
a stick he killed the frog and assisted
by other clerks he performed I'm
autopsy on the remains. finding the
whole body of the duck In the frogs
stomach, also the body of young
sparrow. The remains of the frog
and the birds were on exhibition in
Hale's window Friday evening and at
tracted much attention. While the
frog was a good sized one the young
duck was almost equally as large and
with the body of the sparrow made
big meal for Mr.. Frog.

GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT
OF the Poultry and Egg Industry in
the United States

Experts in the Department OF Agri-
culture note that there has been a
very marked growth and improvement
In the poultry and egg industry of the
United States during recent years, and
that the industry Is now beginning to
take Its place as one of the leading
agricultural industries of the country.
In 1919 II is estimated that the value
OF poultry products was $750,000.b0
and since that time the increase, while
mot reduced to figures, Is known TO
have been considerable. A rough es-
innate places 1t at $1,000 100000 for
1912, or a sum not greatly under that.
The census of 1910 shows that In
ten years there was an increase of lo6
per cent In the value OF poultry pro-
ducts in the extreme western states,
102 per cent in the southwestern
states, &C per cent In the middle states,
SO per cent in the southeastern states
and So per cent In the northeastern
states. The middle West still leads
as the center Of greatest production.
but the growth in the far West and in
the South Is very marked.

sation of these judges was so small
and the attorneys In Maine were so

all being appointed from prominent
men in other professions who had leis-
