CALLS WOODPECKERS INSANE
Because Birds Store Pebbles Instead
of Acorns Professor Says They
Are Insane.

San Francisco Cal.-The woodpeck.
ers of Sonoma county are suffering
from a mild form of insanity, accord
ing to learned and erudite document
issued by the museum of vertebrae
zoology of the University of California
The document says:
THE reason why Califirnia wood
peckers in the vicinity of Sonoma
mountain would have stored pebbles
instead of the customary acorns is a
mystery. We know that instinct
works as automatically as an alarm
clock. In the failure of an acorn crop
It would seem possible that the wood
peckers might instinctively store some
other available kind of food, but to
have chosen stones instead of food
carries the analogy too far. IL seems
as though any bird with the intelli-
gence of the California woodpecker
which would make the same mistake
ought to be classed as insane"

Catching Flies Pays Well.

Catching flies is affording Shreve-

pendent living. He sells them to the
city board of health. His name is
Bartsch, and his net revenue from the
fly industry for the first two days Of a
recent week was $24.20. When the
health board began offering premiums
for the flies, dead or alive, Bartsch
purchased about 100 traps and placed
them in fly-ridden sections OF the city.
Then he began making inroads on the
health boards exchequer, and SO we'll
did he operate that he bore the market
price down from SO cents to 20 cents a
quart, for 1t is by that measure that
the board purchases. Bartsch Is still
working, and he will work as long as
the treasury holds out. He finds fly
catching pays.

PROPER COLORS FOR WALLS
Always = Few Rules That Are Well
to Keep In Mind When Dec
Grating.

If we redecorate In thorough way
our first puzzle is the choice of n col
or. A few rules are useful. Blue,
green, brown, and gray are excellent
colors for sunny, well-lighted rooms.
If the room is on the north side of the
house or is ill-lighted We may need
to use yellow or yellow tan on the
walls in order to produce the sunny
appearance the room otherwise lacks.
Tan is a good all-around color and is
disable in well-lighted or poorly light
ed rooms.
All these colors are best If soft.
For example, a sage green wall is
much more pleasing than a bright
green or leaf green wall; a copen-
hagen blue is better than a vivid
blue; the most agreeable gray for
walls is brownish gray in tone. Tan
in a great variety of shades is always
q favorite.
Bright red should never be chosen
1t is crude in color and tiresome to
live with. A soft mulberry red is
sometimes a desirable color, and q
brownish or Indian red is also in good
taste.
AS a wallpaper. always looks dark
er when hung on the wall than 1t does
In the sample, we must take care &c
select medium or light shades, If we
want cheerful rooms.

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners 10 Shown in
Their Various Method Of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places 1t in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg fit II, taps the sop OF the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at a time.
Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman, likes his eggs of three min
utes, exactly. He then "peels" them,
places them In a glass, stirs and
mixes well together with salt, pepper
and butter He makes a practice Of
dipping bread into the mixture, and
eating 1t along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks it, and lets the con-
tents run into a glass, and consumes
1t as If he were drinking a glass Of
wine.
An egg Is only ct in an Italians
estimation when 1t has been placed
In cold water, and removed just as
the water beings to boil. He then
breaks 1t, pours 1t on a plate, and
proceeds to sop ii up with bread.
The German, like the Italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly-cup, and scoops the
liquid out as If 1t were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them In half, removes the con-
tents into glass, after which he
adds a plentiful supply of pepper but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them well with the
spices, and eats them with his toast

Coal Mine When Almost Suffoeated.

st. Louis-Charles Griner's terrible
experience In a coal mine, when he
was almost suffocated from noxious
gases, and in trying to escape fell
twenty-five feet, turned his hair from
hue of jet to almost white in g
single night.
Many Of his bones were broken
from his fall twenty-five feet down the
shaft to the slate floor OF the mine,
and the gas he inhaled weakened him
so he cannot recover from the shock
as he would otherwise.
Griner was at work the other night

room to resume his work, when he
realized that he had used a larger
charge of powder than usual, or the
ventilaing system was not performing
its functions so we'll as II should.
He worked for few moments, and
then realizing that the poisonous gases
he was drawing into his lungs were
overpowering him. He attempted to
fight the feeling off, but felt himself
becoming dizzy. The fumes burned
his throat and appeared to close up
the breathing tubes.
He dropped his tools and reeled
toward the exit. His eyes burned as
the gas filled them and blinded him.
He CROPPED his way through the
binding smoke and gas until he
came to the ladder leading to the top
of the shaft.
His numbed brain told him this lad

hands grasped weakly the first rung

SAVES TIME AND TROUBLE
Case for Delicate centerplece Not
Hard to Make, and is Especial
Iy Valuable.

1t Is sometimes q difficult matter
to keep centerpieces from becoming
crushed after laundering, so many
women make case in which to roll
them. Purchase piece of cretonne
one and quarter yards long and at
one end turn up hem wide enough
to cover a pole an inch in diameter
and in length a trifie shorter than the
width of the cretonne. When choos-
ing the material select a dainty de-
sign showing alternate stripes of flow
ers and delicate color.
Bind the three sides with half-inch
washable ribbon, stitching 1t neatly
either by hand or on the machine.
Attach three pieces of ribbon TO the
when the centerpieces are rolled In
place.
This is an especially useful article,
and should be added to the linen
chest, and there will never be any
need OF pressing centerpiece before
it is fit to place on the dining table.
1t requires only short time to make
an attractive case of this variety, and
you will never cease to sing its
praises when 1t has saved you much
inconvenience.
Now that you have supplied a case
for the centerpieces, provide like ar
ticles for the doiles of your luncheon
set. From cardboard cut two circular
pieces an inch wider than the plate
doilies and two others an inch wider
than the diameter Of the tumbleI
doilies. Cover these with cotton wad
ding and sprinkle with lavender.
Using Cretonne to match the cen
terpiece case, cut circular pieces
enough to cover the top and bottom
OF the disks. Allow a half inch fol
turning in all around, and neatly whip
stitch the two together or haste rough
ly and bind with the halfinch ribbon
At three places attach pieces of rib
bon with which to tie the cases shut
when the doilies are placed between
the two sections. A set of cases fol
luncheon set would make a most
acceptable gift to a prospective bride
or to the systematic housewife who
likes place for everything.
