FINDS HORNET is "GENTLE"
English Mayor Tells of Discoverinq
Cottage Where They Are Kept
in Hives Like Bees.

London.-Wasps occasionally have
been heard of as pets, but it has been
reserved for Major Hurlstone Hardy
to discover that the hornet is "a gen
tie, inoffensive creature very suitable
for a pet" Writing in knowledge, he
states that, when walking down CHS
wick lane many years ago, he discov-
cred hornets busy around four straw
hives in the front garden Of a cot
tage.
Il entered" he says, and asked the
proprietor to let me observe them. l
found that he kept the hornets for
pets and that he had no bees. He
lifted up a hive and let me observe the
queen at work. He said that he felt
no danger whatever"
Major Hardy adds that he personal
ly has mo fear whatever of these in
nocent and useful creatures, who seem
quite willing to share our dwellings
with US if encouraged to do So"
1t may be recalled that Mr.. Bates in
his account Of his experience on the
Amazon states that at first he killed
hornets which flew near his face. But
having observed them closely and not,
ed that they killed stinging flies,
bouncing upon them as the flies at
tempted to bit him, he let them alone,
and was rather glad of their company.
1t is suggested that the time may
come when every w~ell-regulated
household will keep it's hornet to deal
with flies, as it now keeps its big
dog to guard against burglars.

Everybody's Doing Ii.

The premier of Servia once upon a
time had a round of official calls to
make in the ministry building. His
first visit was at eleven o'clock and
be had allotted Is minutes to it.
He called on a certain high official,
stood talking to him for what he
thought was his Is minutes, and then
proceeded across the hall to the Office
of another minister.
On the way there he sought to look
at his watch. 1t was gone. He burst
into the other minister's office and
exclaimed:
This is too much. Here l come to
this place and call on a high official,
and when l come out my watch is
gone. l will not stand it,"
"Excellency," said the other minis
ter, pray be calm! / will see what
1 can do"
Presently the second minister re-
turned and handed the premier his
watch.
What did the thieving rascal say
when you made him return my
watch?" asked the premier.
"Oh," replied the other minister, "he
did not know I took it."

FACE ITCHED AND BURNED

R. F. D. No. II, Canton, PAT was
severely affected by a disease of the
skin. All parts Of the body were af'

The draping of the Chantilly is SO

REFUSE 70 MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method Of Trading INDUCED
in by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able TO
meet in their own dwelling-place the
Kukuhuhus, a shy, yet %ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes Of the
country, while they have a great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc, and
deposit them il a certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do SO by a
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend TO
view the goods offered for sale. II
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast dwellers APP
proach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange.
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; If not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

VANITY BAG AS A GIFT
Most Appropriate Offering for the
Young Lady Who Is About to
Graduate.

Many Of your young friends will
graduate this year and you are, no
doubt, wondering what to give them.
Why not make them each a vanity
bag? They are dainty and extremely
useful. therefore any girl would be
delighted to possess one. 1t requires
twelve inches of four-inch wide ribbon
hem at each end and embroider a row
Of briar-stitching an inch from the
edge on all sides of the ribbon. Fold
the ends over and neatly whipstitch
the sides together.
Thread narrow satin ribbon through
the top to form a drawstring, and fin
ish the ends with rosettes Of the rib
bon. If desired, the center Of the tiny
vanity bag can be decorated with an
embroidered monogram or a wreath
of forget-me-nots and foliage en-
broidered with pale pink, blue or
white silk to match the ribbon used.
This latter makes an especially dainty
decoration, and Is easily done, as the
flowers are not padded. A wreath
formed of miniature rosebuds, daisies
or violets would be equally effective.
Within the bag place a handkerchief,
tiny mirror, powder puff, cake of pow
der and a piece Of pinked flannel con-
tanning black and white pins. This
little vanity bag can be placed in the

Is Used.

Girdles and sashes are becoming
daily of greater Importance, and every

for making girdles.
These girdles are worn both with
simple and with elaborate dresses and

Curious bead girdles and bead neck

Big Eagle EIectrocuted.

Seattle.-A magnificent golden eagle,
measuring seven feet from tip to tip
of wings, was electrocuted on the
power transmission lines near White
Bluffs. Lineman H. j. Allard, in To-

wires, found a dead rabbit hanging
Imply to the network of the power
lines. On the ground beneath he
found the dead eagle. The big bird
had captured the rabbit out on the

great spread of his body formed the
deadly circuit which caused his death,
leaving his prey hanging where he had
placed it in his flight.

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERING, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present tightening up Of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
str1ngency. 1t is really more a period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
OF the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who if allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi-
tat1ng something a good deal worse
h a they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
Of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address Of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered a few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are In part as
follows:
1t falls a~greeably to my lot to ex.
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. / am happy to announce that
the outcome Of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained.
nave every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total Of $168, 250, 00O,, or
an increase yer the year 1912 of
over $~32,000,000 Some indication of
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
lon may be CLEANED from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
Rod of mi year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
The augmentation Of revenue to
which l have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. twas Of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue-excise, post Office
and railways-also gave US very sub
stantial increases"
That in a period of great fnan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce SO substantially

ion, must be a matter of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world"
Owing to the favorable state Of its
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without

Over BIouses and Shoulder Yokes.

An owe blouse affords a clever way
Of introducing the skirt material in
the blouse to a coat suit. Often the
material is too heavy to be used for
the entire waist, but if the over blouse
is developed in the cloth the under
waist of sheer chiffon or silk wolfe
gives a dainty and light effect.
Often the underwaist is of sheer
batiste or white net, which can be
l~aundered when soiled, and sometimes
the over blouse is not attached to the
skirt, so that it can be worm on bleak,
chilly days, when such an addition is
a decided comfort. The little square
shoulder yoke often appears in back,
as we'll as in front.

ARABIAN NIGHTS CITY
Ancient Town of Bagdad Now an
Historical Relic.
Once the Center of the Mored's Arts,
Literature and Sciences, With
100000 Population, Is Today
Shorn of Her GIories.
Bagdad.-Bagdad, City of Glory,

lily OIL OlOry!
How it's brilliance has shone
throughout the history of the world!
Once a city which is said to have
housed 100000 souls and to have led
the world in art, literature and sci
ence, Bagdad today is shorn of all her
glories.
To the approaching traveller the
city appears to be rising out of the
midst Of trees, and towering above all
are the glittering domes of the tomb
mosques, overlaid with gold. A great
portion of the ground within the city's
walls is occupied by gardens in which
figs, oranges and palms grow in great
abundance.
In most places the streets are I'M
paved and SO narrow it is difficult for
two horsemen to pass each other.
There is nc sewerage system in the
city, the surface of the streets answer
ing the purpose; the refuse is wash
ed into the river and as the city draws
its only supply of water from the Tig-
ris the death rate is high and cpl

The Tigris at this point is a little
more than 800 feet wide, but very
deep. Its banks are Of mud. There
are no retaining walls other than
those formed by the foundations Of
the houses along the banks.
Double decked horse cars, a relic of
the reforms of Midhat Pasha, connect
Kazeman, the suburg, with western
Bagdad. The two parts Of the city are
connected with pontoon bridges. AL
though these are very old and in con
slant danger of %collapsing, thousands

hordes of Arabs can be seen entering
the city over these bridges to buy and
sell. During the summer months, aft
er the heat of the day, many walk up
and down these bridges in an attempt
to each the cool breezes which may
come from the river.
The native breakfasts in Bagdad
consists of a piece of bread and a
glass of tea and may be had from in
Vulnerable street vendors, equipped
with thier Russian samova or self
boiler. Picturesque dwellings are built
right out in the Tigrfs to get the bene-
fit of the refreshing evening breeze
