China Ball Beads

"I never have seen recipe for making china ball beads in the Corner so l de- cided to send one that I have used and
 find it all right. The beads have been
 much admired. I should like to get di-
 rections for making beads from rose pet as. l have a quantity of roses, which are
 going to waste, and 1 wish to utilize them.
 have used several of the recipes in your
 Corner and found them excellent. I am
 making a cook book of them. This is
 the formula for china ball beads: One and
 one-half cups of china balls-not too dry.
 Put into water enough to cover them. A tomato can will answer. Boil two hours, rinse and wash well in several waters until all trash and skins are removed.
 Cover them with boiling water, after re- turning them to the can, and dissolve a teaspoon of ratent dye or one tablet of Caster egg dye in half a cup of boiling water. Then aod the balls in the can and
 boil half an Lour. Take out and wash in several waters. until they will not stain the hands. Dry thoroughly and pour over them few drops of sweet oil; rub in well and let them dry again. Heat a hatpin or sliafp instrument and run through each. then string them. MRS. M. J. F. As 1 nave had to tell other inquirers for the formula for making rose beads. we cannot afford space for a repetition of
 what has appeared at least dozen times in our Corner. However, the address of
 T correspondent who makes them has been
 sent tu you. It is always a pleasure to
 be told We have been of help to readers.
 1t is an added pleasure to learn you find our recipes worthy of place in your home n ade cook book. l ought to be ashamed to confess I have no Idea what ! china beads are. I take 1t for granted they are a vegetable production. Will not you tell me where they grow and what they are like?

May l inquire through your Corner if any one knows of a girl between the age of and years who could be adopted? could give her a good home We have no little ones. l sent a letter to you frr Mrs. T. II. C., in answer to her offer oe crochet and cross stitch patterns and offered more postage if what I inclosed was not enough. 1 have had no answer from her in any way MRS. R. M. r.
 The inquiry with regard to the little girl Is passed on with the hope you may get her and have all the happiness in the relation your Kindness deserves. The crochet patterns were given away some time ago That is probably the reason you had to reply to your request. The owner was doubtless weary with returning the same answer to d number of corre- spondents l ask now that any one who can supply the patterns you need will write for your address. l hold it for that purpose

Getting Rid of Reaches

s'I have an unpleasant topic to discuss

These matched in three days after took them from their mother. They lie dormant All winter when outside, under rocks or rotten blanks. etc. In tho house, they are not likely to emerge until the lights are out. My practice Is to keep the infested rooms dark for about an hour before bedtime, then lighting up suddenly. surprise 90 per cent of them Into stand Ing still, when they may be approached within few inches.

Squirrels a Nuisance

"Months ago l wrote tot you, asSeing that you kindly inquire through the Corner how squirrels could be kept from taking unripe nuts from a black walnut tree. You re- piled. stating that the request would be printed but as yet I have seen nothing of il. 1 presume the inquiry has been over looked, and I am merely writing to recall 1t to you. as 1 feel sure there is some one who can help me to do away with the nuisance and not destroy the squirrels with poison which l am tempted to do.
 MRS. M
 Had you inclosed your address in this letter you would have heard promptly by mall that your inquiry was answered in full and sent to press weeks ago, It has, l suppose, been crowded out by a press of other matter. advised you to make war upon the little thieves. It is in keeping with their disposition and be- which are Of no earthly use to them. They rob birds nests without mercy. suck the eggs and kill the calow nestings. They are impudent and cruel, and a nuisance generally Let the gunner in your family kill a few and frighten the rest away. They will soon learn what the sight of the gun means. For years I tried to domes- ticate red squirrels in my woods by the exercise of kindness. We built houses for them in the trees. fed them winter and summer and protected them from their natural enemies-cats and crows. They repaid us by driving away song birds, rifing the nests of all feathered things. gpawing holes in barn lofts and cottage attics, and in other ways that forced Us to declare war of exterminatfon ve- lieve there is no other method of dealing with them, If one would enjoy country life and surround oneself with peaceable pets.
