avoiding the. sudden shock of taking
water into their heated systems or
grain into their disturbed digestive
organs.
There are just two extremes to be
avoided when providing ventilation for
stock or poultry in close quarters
during the winter months. The first
and most common is insufficient air,
the other is too much.
We must not get the idea that it is
necessary to close every opening in
building in order to keep the stock
warm and in good health. Provide
an aperture by which the fresh air
may. enter each building, and one that
will allow the foul air to pass out as
it is breathed and poison-laden; then
regulate the size of the openings as
the weather changes.
In ordinary weather, the size of ven
tilating holes will need to be practi-
cally the same, but in case of a storm,
extremely severe cold or windy wealth
er, there will be need of much less
ventilation, lest the beneficial effect
of fresh air be more than counterbal-
anced by the chilling influence of the
passage Of air, which is either too
strong or too cold.

Insanity.

What is Insanity" was the subject
of a paper read before the British
Royal Society of Medicine by DR..
Charles A. MERCER. Dr. MERCER de-
plores the loose application of the ter
rible word to cases that do not merit
it. Thus giddiness. epileptic symp-
toms, fear of closed spaces, as well
as extended spaces, have nothing
to do with insanity, since insan-
ity and unsoundness Of mind are not
convertible terms. No one should
dare call man insane until his con-
duct has been found disordered. That,
of course, does not mean "disorderly
conduct" in the police court meaning.
Disorder of mind and of conduct.
coupled, usually, by a third disorder
of brain function, would be true insan-
ity. If to these a forth element be
added, such as poisoning, myxoedema,
govt; specific fever, Graves's disease
then a new diagnosis is needed to as
certain whether the insanity" is not
really delirium of the more com
prehensive disease.

PerpIexinc Problem.

There are two dusky housemaids in
the service of a Washington family
whose thoughts, as is the case with
many of their race, turn greatly to
dress.
On one occasion Hattie became smit-
ten with hat she had seen on her
afternoon off. AS she had her weeks
wages in her pocket, it was not long
before the coveted headgear was hers.
1t was a wonderful creation of black
the pink roses; and to Hattie it was
the last word in hats.
When she got home she spent much
time at the mirror, but the hat did
not seem to look so well on her as it
had in the shop window !
"Doggone it," she muttered, 1T looks
like de very dickens, don't it? An it
look so fine In dat window"
"Yo' must remember, Hattie said
the other housemaid, inadvertently,
dat de situation is different now.

face to contend with"

Novel TUNES.

The salient feature Of the new
modes is the extending tunic between
hips and knee, which accentuates the
modern slimness of figure. This tunic
is not Of distinct color from the rest
of the dress. Some of the tunics dip
down at the back, and sometimes form
two box plaits in front, which natural

Flowers and butterfly bows cn even

Cross-cut folds are brought upward

FOR THE BOYS TO REMEMBER
Broken Ice With the Least Risk
to Oneself.

To rescue a person who has broken
through the ice you should first tie q
rope around your body and have the
other end tied or held on shore. Then
get long board, or ladder, or limb
Of tree, crawl out on this, or push
1t out, SO that the person in the water
may reach it. If nothing can be found
on which you can support your weight,
do not attempt to walk out toward
the person to be rescued, but lie fat
on your face and crawl out, as by
doing this much less weight bears at
any one point on the ice than in walk
ing. If you yourself break through
the ice remember that If you try TO
crawl up on the broken edge it viii
very likely break again with you. II
rescuers are near, it would be much
better to support yourself on the edge
of the ice and wait for them TO come
to you.-From "Boy Scouts of Amer
lea"

TT seems that designers who en-
deavor to prepare styles which they
hope will become fashions, have
worked along the most independent
lines. There is no apparent uniform
ity of ideas in the construction of cos
tunes, except the general approval
given to narrow skirts and big waists.
Accept these two features, look to the
Orient for inspiration, and you may
evolve styles to suit yourself. There
is no hint to variety and eccentricity.
The Turkish pantaloon skirt of
heavy and supple black satin which is
shown here is an approved model. 1t
is a picturesque but not a graceful
garment, made to hang about a slim
figure. And 1t takes slimness to the
point of attenuation to wear drapery
on these lines, with any success. But
the idea of the pantaloon as suggest
ed here brought in variety of skirts
with drapery arranged at the sides in
this fashion.
In the majority of similar skirts
less material is used, and in a simpler
arrangement The front is plain and
there is no need of the lace under
fiounce at the bottom. Wide. fabrics
are cut in such a way that the skirt
is narrow at the bottom draped in
hanging folds about the hips, and
finished with a plain panel at the
back This Interpretation of the
pantaloon skirt is more pleasing, more
simple and far more popular than the
original development, which came
from the Cabot salon and which is
pictured in the illustration.
The little Turkish jacket worn with
the skirt is in blue velvet. 1t is a

smart, military looking affair, very
rich and rather simple. Black vel
vet and silk ornaments form its dec
Grafton. The model hangs loosely on
the figure and is one of a few sue
cessful designs which incorporate
plain sleeve with arms eye defined.
Such sleeve is .shapeless-a straight
tube, saved from ugliness by the in
sertion of panels and cuffs of black
velvet below the elbow. But it is in
harmony with the jacket and skirt-it
is true to the original Turkish jacket.
To be strictly fashionable, one must
look as if the clothes were carelessly
adjusted. This is fad Of the hour.
A general falling-to-pieces and don't
careful do pose has been adopted by
some extremists, but they are few.
Clothing is soft, roomy and comfort
able looking and tending more and
more toward a graceful draping of
the figure. ::
In spite of all this variety and &C.
tailor-made suit continues to flourish
almost undisturbed by the restless
striving for something new. 1t is
somewhat less severe indulging a lit,
tie in the use of draped lines in skirts
and roominess in coats. The peg-top
skirt and the Russian blouse make
combination as smart and up-to-date
as can be, in the development of tail
or-mades. A suit of this kind, with
soft blouse of silk or lace, borrows
Just enough from the fads of the sea-
son to be quite III the mode, without
losing the tailored character which
SO appeals to American women.

Tennessee Preserve Is Home of
Featkered SongsterS.
Owner Tells of Warfare He Has
Waged to Keep Out the English
Sparrows, Pest, and Employ
er Of Child Labor.

Benjamin L. Dulaney owns forest
and bird preserve within the limits of
Bristol, Tenn. which is said to con-
tain more song birds than any other
space of woodland of the asme size
on the American continent. There are
100 acres in the reservation, AND car
ing for the feathered songsters, and
studying them is Mr.. Dulaney's hob
by. In an idle moment the other day
the big Tennesseean consented to give
some results of his recent observa-
lions.
Il have come to the conclusion,
said Mr. Dulaney, that the disappear
ance of certain of our trees, notably
the chestnut. is due to the neglect to
preserve one species of birds, the
woodpecker. l understand there are
few woodpeckers left in this part of
the country, and that the chestnut tree
is almost extinct. Owing to this
dearth OF their enemies the borers, on
which woodpeckers prey, and other
destructive insects have come in
force.
There are many varieties of the
woodpecker, each of which takes care
of a particular form of the pest. AS
for the harm the bird does to tree,
that is nil. He simply digs out hole
for the family nest in the spring. When
you hear him tapping the tree at other
times he has only located bOrer and
is going after it, and he has way of
finding it. l am positive that if we
protected our birds we would have
saved many of our forest trees.
Il am keeping my forest wild be-
cause | love song birds. They have
come to know that they are safe. The
boys of the neighborhood have been
taught to become friends of the birds.
Why, in my own yard have seen as
many as thirty or thirty-five nests at
one time.
''As the English sparrow is pest,
| have naturally been at some pains to
prevent my woods from being tenant
ed by these birds. During the summer
| have been studying these sparrows,,
and do you know they have the child
labor problem worked out to fine
point am speaking now of particu-
lar group of sparrows which | had UNI
der observation.
Il watched a nest for six weeks. The
sparrows had not built it. Robins put
it up last year, and in the spring the
sparrows moved in and took posses
sion. The mother bird laid only one
egg at time. and the first egg was the
only one she herself actually Matched.
AS soon as one egg cracked the mother
bird would lay another, until finally
there were in the nest young in all
stages, from a fledgling to bird new
ly Matched. The actual Matching of the
last five eggs was done by the warmth
of the eldest, and those that came in
succession. If this isn't an instance Of
child labor, don't know what is.
Il had a small shotgun for killing
English sparrows and wanted to kill
the parent birds. | discovered that
among the sparrows on the place there
was something communistic, because
no sooner had l killed couple of
what | thought were parents than
other. sparrows would come and bring
food to the young. In all, had to
shoot Is birds before l cut off the food
supply of the occupants of the nest"
