Tho Wonderful Work Of Nature.
From the Popular Mapazine

Somebody is always writing some
thing in the newspapers about James
Hamilton Lewis, United States sena-
tor from Illinois. And this is only na-
tufal. for MI. Lewis is famous for two
distinct reasons. In the first place, he
is the most picturesque and artistic
dresser in congress. being the only ma
who can handle lavender socks is if
they really belonged to him. Secondly.
he takes a most active part in national
affairs.
But the limit was reached last July.
when II newspaper correspondent wired
out Il story o Il speech the Illinois
senator had made regarding woman
suffrage. Among other things, this dis
patch stated:
MIR. Lewis had noted. he said, during,
his lifetime. that in most instances. and
as a very general rule. the maternal in
stinct was stronger in women than in
men.

BIG cows BETTER
THAN SMALL ONES


In Farm and Fireside appears the
following interesting comparison of big
cows with small cows:
"A Tennessee dairyman years ago
had a COW which claimed the cham
plonship OF the world. She was a little
COW. but her mess of milk was big.
o can pick her up and tote her. de-
clared The man who MIXED her, and
then you can set her down and milk
her, and you can't tote the milk But
when we put cold statistics ove
against enthusiasm. we find that the
big cow seems to pay better than the
small one. other things being equal. At
least. according to Palmer of the North
Dakota station. that is the result OF
conducted. On the average, COWS
weighing 800 and under paid heir own
ers annually $500 more han their
keep. Those Weighing between 900 and
1000 paid their board N $61.36. The
excess of income over expense of feed
of larger COWS was s66.2s from the
l.0oO-pound COW up to 1.100: $72.2l
from that point TO 1900. s72.01 in the
next 100. 1884 between the weights OF
1900 n 1.4OO. and all COWS weighing
over 1,4OO averaged their owners an in
come of $SS.O1. annually, above the cost
of their feed.
This must not be taken to mean
that a big COW is always better than a
little one. A small COW of a good line
of breeding will outyield a scrub. A
Kerry cow weighing 900 will outyield q
Hereford weighing LOO. in actual
quantity. probably. and certainly In

that the large animals of any breed are
much more economical of labor and

1 thence as a beautiful city just because everybody is interested in their own homes and surroundings
 What in your mind constitutes the most attractive arrangement for a front and back yard?" I asked.
 T should say a pretty grass plot" was the reply, land handsome trees. I love the foliage against the house and the porch boxes This for the front premises. In the rear if grass can be used it is pretty, but if nothing else a vegetable garden well kept and cared for is as sensible as anything else. Of course the back yard primarily belongs to the small boys and during the summer time, 'especi- ally when young America Is practicing for the inevitable baseball season, the back yard is turned into perfect bedlam and trees and flowers and shrubs and vegetables go a-glimmering Of course, the boys should be made to feel an in- terest in the city beautiful work and un- derstand their responsibility as to the matter. This, of course, necessitates the proper number of playgrounds. for the youngsters must have their sport in the open even at the cost of the city beau tiful plans.
 Personally. I enjoy working with my flowers, Mrs. Barnett continued more than nearly anything else I do Certainly it is the best tonic from the standpoint of health that can be prescribed, and if the women of Birmingham would just get the delicious sunshine and fresh air feel sure that their health would not suffer in many cases as it does from too little of the out-of-doors life. The city beauti- full idea is certainly the most beneficial thing in the world to community from every standpoint"

Salad of Bananas and Peanuts

"While on a visit last winter had the rare delight of eating a salad that was new to me. Knowing you are ever on the lookout for the newest and best re- cipes. am writing this out for the benefit of the Corner. It is truly delicious, and it was utterly novel to me. Will not the Cornerites test it and let us know if I am ont right in pronouncing the odd salad worthy of high place upon our list? Jacksonville salad-Peel bananas taking off all the stringy particles, roll in sugar about an hour before they are ready to be served; then pound fine fresh- ly roasted peanuts and roll the bananas in them, forming a thick brown cover ing. Serve in lettuce leaves, with French dressing or mayonnaise. MARY D. B.
 The odd addition to our store of ''the newest and best recipes. is bewitching in the reading. l assume that it must be eaten ice cold I fancy, too. that French dressing would harmonize better with 1t than the heavier mayonnaise Yet I can imagine a Sunday night supper made pi- quantly attractive by the appearance Of the ice cold salad bedded in crisp lettuce and masked by mayonnaise made with lemon juice instead of vinegar and with out the ''mordant' touch of mustard. That would spoil all.

Pasquale Amato and his pretty wife, she in a smart white bodice. blue skirt and small black tur- ban. sat over near the window, where most of the artists, after entering for luncheon, made their way to say few pleasant things. Ricardo Martin was strolling about among the tables speak, ing to his friends, hav.Ag obviously com pleted his luncheon. and both he and Ca ruso bowed tremendously over Madame Gadsii as she sat with her daughter at one of the small tables. And Richard Hageman, the conductor, came in, and Otto Goritz, who had a moment before left Madame Ober.

the owner of home would, and I must say that every ono of the members of say that every one of the members of astic spirit in the city beautiful idea, although 1t was there long before the movement ever became city-wide.'
 "The lawns have always been well kept on Rose avenue" Mrs. Barnett continued, and one thing that we are particularly proud of is that our back yards are as well kept as the front yards. To my mind that is a very important item in the city beautiful work. Of course this idea is often difficult, especially where the lots are very steep in the rear. requiring much ingenuity to arrange a back yard attractively under these circumstances.
 The story of the house which was beau tiful from the front, but hideously high and badly arranged in the rear which called forth the cleverism that it was sort of a Queen Ann front and a Mary Ann back, might be applied in this case, . l suggested.
 Exactly" she smiled. ''But really there is no excuse for the poorly kept back yard. You know my home town, Cleve- land, is pointed out as one of the most beautiful cities in the United States The avenues and streets are in perfect condi- t1on. and they are the best groomed. if I could call it that. and the most perfectly arranged that I've ever seen. Along Euclld avenue, Overlook road, Euclid Heights and the Lakeshore boulevards even to the side streets. the grass and trees are absolutely perfect. One thing that makes the lawns there so beautiful is the manner in which they are kept so closely clipped. The grass terraces are like gorgeous green carpets. and there is an air of neatness and elegance about them that is quite fascinating and very impressive to the stranger''
 One would judge that the citizens there are enthusiastic over the city beau tiful idea" I suggested
 Well. of course. the city beautiful idea has been so long in vogue in Cleveland that you hear very little mention of it now said Mrs. Barnett. Tt seems to have been born with the city itself and now it is just an acknowledged thing that everybody must promote the idea, and it is sort of an unwrtten law as it were. Cleveland Is necessarily resi- dential city and it has gained its prom

Walnut Stains on Linen

Will you or any of your readers tell me what wila remove walnut stain from blue linen?. Also if there is any way to fix our walls, which have been papered? We want to kalsomine them. Can paper be removed without knocking the plaster off? Can any one send me the song, Death Is Only a Dream?'
 MRS. S. N. L.'
 Walnut stain is always an ugly thing to handle. When the material defaced by it is colored the trouble is almost beyond cure. The detersive that removes the stain will take the ground color with it. You may try a solution of oxalic acid rinsing within 10 minutes after each ap- plication, and drying in the shade. Then touch the spots with hartshorn in hope of restoring the body color. I do not prom ise success, but the stain will be no worse than it is now. Remove the paper by soaking it, a little space at time, with sponges dipped in warm water. It will loosen when thoroughly wet, and may be pulled off easily When all is off that will come away, go over the walls with a scrubbng brush and warm suds. Then rinse and wipe dry. Let the walls alone for at least two days to get them per- fectly dry. Then you can repaper or kalsomne, as prefer. If the work is done carefully the plaster should remain intact. Your last query is referred to readers.
