NEGLleEE EASY TO MAKE
Garment That Would Cost Much Mon
ey II Bought May Be Put To-
gether at Home.

A creation Of messaline, chiffon and
filmy shadow lace that would delight
the eyes Of a woman, however regard
less of her personal appearance she
might be, was recently exhibited in an
extensive shop. The foundation of the
negligee was white messaline. Over
this was draped cream chiffon bodice
and panniered tunic Of the chiffon.
The pannier effect, which was even
all around, was obtained by simply
turning under the edge of the straight
tunic, giving it bouffant touch. A
girdle OF pale blue messaline outlined
the high waist line, and the lace flchu
which draped the. shoulders, Marie An
tonette fashion, was of cream shadow
lace, the v being ornamented along
the edges with natural-sized rosebuds
of pink chiffon.
While the effect was elaborate, the
making of such negligee is quite
simple and easily accomplished by the
average needlewoman. 1t. would fur
ther beautify the negligee to embroid-
er about the bottom in colored silks a
border Of tiny pink rosebuds.

ORIGIN OF FLYING MACHINES
When Balloons Were First Invented
No Man Could Be Found Who Was
Willing to Make Ascension.

When the first flying machine or
balloon was invented no man could be
found to venture to go up in it, SO
they placed sheep, cock and duck
in the basket and let them try it.
This was In Paris on June S, 1888.
The balloon was made by two young
men. sons of a paper maker, and was
filled with hot air. 1t went up to
height of nearly half mile and then
gradually sank back to earth. and the
animals were found contentedly re-
posing in the basket as If nothing had
happened.
This experiment was thought so sue
cessful that on November 21 the same
year young naturalist named De Ro-
zier and an army officer. the MARQUIS
d'Arlandes, went up in balloon and
stayed aloft about half an hour. This
made young De Rozier so bold that
two years afterward he tried to cross
the English channel and was drowned.

JACKS NOVEL POCKET PIECE
Until Children Were Snugly Set
tied for Bedtime Talk.

When the children were snugly set
tied for the bedtime talk Jack fshed
up a snail shell from the depths of
his pocket, where he had been carry
ing it all day for this occasion. Tell
us all about that" he said. II often
find them in the garden, but there is
never anything in them. I know that
the shells couldn't get there all alone,
but why do we never see the snails?''
Because the snail is usually tucked
safely away inside the SHE'LL" NAM
ma answered, "and knows too much
to come out when curious little boys
are around. II you will go into the
garden some warm sunny day just
after a shower, you will perhaps be
able to find snail dragging himself
and his house along one of the walks.
When the weather is dry or cold they
close the door of their house with a
kind Of membrane that they manufac-
ture themselves, just as the spider
makes it's web or the silkworm its
cocoon. During the winter they find
shelter somewhere in a crevice, or
make a hole in the ground. which
they cover with dead leaves. Here
they remain safe and warm until the
first spring rains call them out In
search of food.
The snail has almost as many
teeth as the fly has eyes, often having
one or two hundred rows of them. 1t
knows how to use them too, and often
does great mischief to gardens with
them. Some gardeners catch and de-
stroy them by spreading cabbage
leaves on the ground to attract them.
"The body of the snail is very soft,
and it has four horns, two long ones
and two short ones. You will notice
two tiny black spots at the end of
the long horns. These are the eyes;
and If you look very closely when the
snail first puts out his horns, you will
see these eyes move up until they
reach the tips.
"In some countries snails are con-
| sidered good to eat. The ancient
Romans kept them in an inclosure
made for that purpose, and fed them
on meal and boiled wine until they
were fattened and ready for the table.

snail is its power to heal it's own In

a starting point. Each match must
alike commence, and find it's des-
tination in an empty square. The
middle square must not be count
ed at all, neither for the start nor
finish. nor in the course of a move.
It will be found that there is little diff
ficulty in securing squares for five.
or even six, matches; but the placing
of the entire seven is by no means a
simple matter.
The solution is as follows: The
square from which the first move is
made must receive the next match.
If the start commenced at 1, for in
stance, and the match consequently
found its destindti ion In 4, it must be
arranged that the next falls in /. The
counting of the second would there

the third match is made to drop into 6
by starting at 3, and so on until all
seven have been placed.

BUSY LITTLE TREE PLANTERS
BY Burying Nuts of Chestnut, Hickory
and Walnut Squirrels Perform
Most Important Duty.

Contrary to common belief, the gray
squirrels of the United States do not
lay up their winter store of nuts in
mass, but bury each one separate and
apart from the rest, and for this rea-
son they are natures most important
chestnut, hickory and walnut tree
planters, Harper's Weekly remarks.
The nuts are hidden in the ground,
often at considerable distance from
one another, and either by instinct or
a remarkable memory the squirrels
will penetrate through several feet of
snow when in want of food and sell
dom, If ever. fail to find the hidden
treasures.
They do not need or use the one
tenth part of the provender they have
hidden away in the ground, and what
they do not consume germinates the
next spring and in this way we get
our uniform nut tree forests, which
would otherwise grow in cluster under
the parent tree where the nuts have
fallen.
In their burying operations squirrels
often cover a large area Of ground,
seeking the most favorable spot for
hiding their food; this accounts for
trees springing up in the most diverse
places.
