HOW THE BIRDS
 BUILT THEIR NESTS.
eBy Pirgin1a Vale. )


 Once upon a time long ago two lit tie birds thought 1t was time to build a nest all of their own. They flew around and looked at a great many trees and bushes. before they decided, because they wanted to be perfectly satisfied with the new home.
 At last they found a big tree with nice smooth branches. and plenty of leaves. They began to gather small twigs and pieces of string to form the outside of the nest and were glad when the COW asked if they didn' want some of her hay.
 .-I have some nice long pieces said
 The hofse, hearing the COW. said. Take some hair from my mane, that will make your nest nice and strong. g
 Then mother hen chirped up and said Here are few soft feathers. Take them and line the nest; and the old rooster puttIed out one of his incest tail feather and handed it to the birds with a. very grand aiE
 The birds were happy because ev- cry one seemed to want. to help and were interested in the new nest. So they went to work as hard as they could and in a little while it was fin ished.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Vegetables are best bought fresh, as they are wanted. Use the Iightest weight utensils you can get in the kitchen Paper should mot be used in a IardeT it is too absorbent. A wooden plate scraper is very use- fu1 when washing dishes. Crinohne. rubbed on velvet, will take out every particle of dust It pays to have cheap white china l to use in the refrigerator. Never iron stockings; they are much better put through mangle. Japanese towe1ing makes pretty cus- hions for window seats and chairs.
 Every Household should possess a linen closet with shelves and drawers.
 Have good light always in the kit chen and keep the room well aired.
 Have roller on your pantry door, with a fresh towel always on it.
 Boil cracked dishS for forty-five minutes in enough sweet milk to cover 1t.
 wash lamp el1inaneys in ammonia water if you would have them very Use a. funnel for filling hot-wster bottles, and the bottles will last longer
 4 lot of floor serubbing may be-saved by having the kitchen floor painted
 Crossed runners of Japanese towel ing make good luncheon sets for the table
 If citron hardens. let it stand a little while in hot Water, then it will cut easily
 Every kitchen should have kitchen Window garden box in it's south win dow.
 sT'wso people. one to wash and one to wipe. greatly expediates the dish-wash- ing business.
 Cookie cutters are now made which cut the cookies as fast as you roll it over he =.=
 All stationery tubs should have oil- cloth covers. They are easy to clean and very durable. On ironing day. keep an old folded sheet handy. to lay under garments with buttons, etc.
 Some housewives find that changing washday from Monday to Tuesday sim pIifes things imm ensely. The real test of larder is jam; if you have a Iarder in which jam will not keep, 1t needs reforming
 To remove iodine stains from cloth ing or bed linen, soak the article Itwenty-four hours in cold water Let the window curtains reach from top to bottom only of the window. and a lot of work is saved Ginger poultiees are as efica cious as mustard and will not blister. They should be made in the same way Paper napkins at breakfast are not only economical, but they add to the gayety of the breakfast table. Two or three dozen doi1ies are much easier to handle in the wash than two or three large table cloths. The best cover for an ironing board is several thicknesses of flannel, tackled down and covered with cotton. In making boiled starch, leave a piece of soap ir The iron slips along most easily and a glossy effect is obtained.
 Pour melted paraffin into a cup, and when it is, hardened tie it into a piece of cloth and use it to smooth the rough irons
 Baking testers can te bought by the package and do aws -ith the old and objectionable habit S using a broom splint er.
