capitaIizine a Weather Report.

One day a fruit dealer In Iowa
reused the curiosity of the local wealth
er observer by a telephone inquiry
about the weather prospects in the
grape belt OF western New York
which, at that season, supplied large
part of the demand from the territory
just west of the Mississippi river.
Rain was the answer. Its going
to rain there tomorrow and probably
the day after"
A week or two later the observer
met the merchant and asked what use
he made of the information.
1T was worth to me-" replied the
fruit man, about 5000. You see
grapes can't be picked in wet wealth
er SO l knew if it was going to rain
out there grapes would be scarce here.
AS soon as l got your answer l or
dered double shipment-two cars In
stead Of one. 1t rained in New York
for three days running, and the price
Of grapes here rose to figure that
let me sell my shipment at fine
profit The only mistake | made was
In not ordering four cars instead Of
two. Worlds Work.

1t is a trying task to cut gowns or

and If you would greatly obviate the
difficulty of cutting such goods, first
cover the table with a felt or heavy
cloth.
In renovating feather pillows, first
open one corner Of the ticking and
pour boiling water In. This renders
the feathers kind of pulpy, wet mass.
which can be easily handled Have
ready some soapy water and take the
feathers out and thoroughly wash
them In this. using more soap If nee
essary. Then thorough rinse them
in several waters and put back into
the washed cover and hang it out in
the hot sun.
With long. clean stick you can
turn them occasionally through the
opened corner. AS the suns heat
dries the feathers they will swell to
fill the cover and be wonderfully light
and fluffy and perfectly clean without
being scattered at all which inva.
riably happens when they are handled
dry.

reforms, in the opinion of Judge Ira
c. Rothgerber of the County Court In
the last sixteen months Judge Roth
gerber has presided at trials in which
500 divorce suits were heard. In that
time he has found that four women to
one man seek the divorce courts as
remedy for matrimonial ailments;
that children are the tie that binds
and that out of five divorce appli.
cants an average of four are without
children; that it is easier to get di-
vcrce in Colorado than in any state

the open houses provide for this very
nicely
There are many kinds of fresh air
houses In use at the present time;
those that have a canvas or burlap
curtain are not truly open-front
houses, except when the curtain is
withdrawn
The best open-front is covered with
wire netting on one side or at least
the greater part of one side. The
open side should face the south, SO
as to admit the sunshine as well as
the fresh air.
AS this is the storm side. the end
OF the house occupied by the roosts
should have a canvas frame fitted
over the upper part, leaving all the
rest of the front that is occupied by
the scratching pen, etc. open to the

out the rain and excess of sunshine

The open-front houses remain COM
paratively dry during the wet weather,
and frost never accumulates on the in
side, so that litter remains dry for a
long time, and droppings are more
easily cleaned. There is no danger of
the fowls taking cold as one would
seem to fear. Such troubles come from
impure air. produced by long damp
ness or draughts.
The pure air gives them resisting
