FOR THE BIRDS.
How to Build Nesting Boxes For

Feathered Visitors.
| For the benefit of bird lovers the
state ornithoogist of Massachusetts
DR.. Edward Howe FOrbush. publishes
in Our Dumb Animals directions for
the proper building and placing Of nest
ing boxes for the feathered visitors OF
the spring. Within the last ten years
more than 10000 bird houses have been
put up In Massachusetts at DIR. For
bush's recommendation, but many OF
these have not proved acceptable IL
the tenants for whom they were In
tended and have remained vacant In
his latest bulletin DR.. Forbush Is par.
ticular to warn against faults Of con.
struction.
One reason for the failure of nesting
boxes in cities to attract song birds, he
says. is the presence of cats. English
sparrows and squirrels. Against cats
the bulletin offers no plan of campaign.

mended placing bird houses on posts

es too small to admit these voracious
little nest robbers. A similar plan Is
recommended In the case of sparrows,
although few birds that one desires to
attract are smaller than sparrows. The
latter may be discouraged from build
ing In the larger boxes, of course, by
the removal Of their nests, but bet
ter plan is to keep the boxes closed
until the sparrows have begun then
housekeeping elsewhere and to open
them about May l, when the native
birds have mated.
The entrance holes of the nesting box.

In diameter for chickadees, one and
half inches for bluebirds or swallows
and two inches or more for martins.
Pine wood Is the best material for
bird house, as it is light. but strong
and durable enough Metal or pottery

horizontal or sloDing toward the front.
and it should project at least two
inches over the entrance hole, which
should be near the top.
Most people put up too many bird
boxes at the start The birds quarrel
for them and sometimes do not nest |
at all. They should be placed at least /,
100 feet apart at first; 200 feet or even |
more is better. After the first comers !

Canal Waters Bloody
After Terrible Fight
BY dssncinted PrcsS

London, Oct. %, 3.53 a. m. - The
correspondent of the Daily Mail in
Northern France, telegraphing under
date of Sunday night regarding the
fighting on the river User says:
There were $500 German bodies
in the User canal this morning after
the fighting in the night. Many of
them were drowned and others were
bayonetted. The very water itself was
bloody while DiXmude's streets were
strewn thick with the dead.
These ghoulish facts alone give
home idea of the savageness of the
fighting desperation of the German
attacks and the stubborness of the
allies resistance.
THE fight was a hell from dark to
dawn. At almost every point of the
line man was opposed by man, some
times at a few hundred yards dis
tance but more often in close grips.
Face to face men even wrestled and
died by drowning each other in the
canals waters. The Germans had had
orders to get through that night, cost
what 1t might.

UNEARTH OLD WELL
WHERE SON KILLED
FATHER IN F|FT|ES
Story of Old Tragedy Brought to
Mind; Many Wells Near
New Subway

The unearthing of an old well near
Mulberry street in eXcavating for the
subway brings back the memory of
a murder that occurred there some
fifty or sixty years ago.
The murder happened about the
Fall of 1856. Captain Swartz. the
truant officer, and John T. Ensminger,
two of the old residents of the city,
relate the story as follows:
Early one Fall morning Conrad
Knepley, a local butcher. who lived
near Mulberry street. was returning
from market and his son was laying
in wait for him near this well. When
his father passed he followed and shot
him.
The son was brought before court
and tried. The court decided that he
was insane and sent him to the asylum
where he died. The well was an old
one and was about 80 feet deep. 1t

was probably dug in the beginning of
the nineteenth century and was closed
in 1860.
When it was unearthed yesterday
the well was twenty-three feet deep
and had four feet of water in it. The
well is thirty yards north of Mulberry
street and is one of the many ones in
use in the fifties. There were wells at
the following places: The Seven
Stars Hotel, Second and Walnut
streets; in front of the present school
board office; Zullingers, near Fourth
and Chestnut streets; between Third
and Fourth streets inSWalnut; and
near the old site of the Fink brewery.
These were all closed soon after the
water works were installed and the
pipes laid over the city

Riverside folks could scarcely be-

chesty about it nevertheless, and told
their friends among the mere city
folks that they expected a late Fall
crop of strawberries.
And then Mr.. J. Frost put crimp

so frosty, and tomorrow promises

drying and perfuming the body. The best
of them are pure and soothing, but they
are not intended to adhere to the skin
or to give 1t any uniformity of texture or
color. There is nothing harmful in good
face powder; in fact the basis for face
powder and body powder are the same,
but the face powder is generally made of
the best imported stock while a less ex-
pensive item does for the body powder.
The expense of manufacturing the higher
grades OF face powder is considerable,
and they must be sifted over and over
again until of the proper lightness. The
ordinary talcum powder Will generally
cake on the skin and will leave spots
that appear greasy. In short, 1t is not
intended for the face, and should not be
used in that way.
Choose the Rouge That Suits Your
Skin.
Face rouge comes in three kinds, a salve,
or stick, the basis of which is much like
the basis of cold cream, q powder, gen.
orally in the form of a hard cake, and
liquid rouge. The powdered rouge Is used
for the stage and many women use 1t
for evening, the salve rouge has the ad-
vantage of being easy to put on and the
liquid rouge of lasting longer than the
powder or salve and less apt to be affect
ed by persplration. Personal peculiarities
must determine which kind is the best
for person to use. The color should
also be carefully chosen. A deeper red
can be used in the evening than under
day light, but this does not always mean
that two shades must be provided. II
the shade of red is one that tones with
the natural complexion, very little of it
can be worked into the skin for the day.
light and more put on in the evening.
For the Eyes and Eyebrows.
For the stage the eyes are made up
very heavily: the lashes are coated with
a heavy black grease paint and line
is drawn around them with a dark pencil.
Often blue is used about the eyes to throw
out the color of the iris.
In private life such a method OF MAX
ing-up is uncalled for; in fact the eyes
can very we'll be left alone unless the
color of the brows and lashes is so light
as to be out of tone with the hair and
complexion. In which case they can be
darkened by Mascara, a form of Indian
ink that comes in hard cake and can
be applied with a small, moistened brush.
This comes both in brown and black, the
former for the use of blondes who do not
wish the artificial effect that black gives.
Color for the lips is of deeper red
than that used on the cheeks. 1t comes

Often the same can be used for the lips
and the face, diluting or using very little

Begin the process of makeup by ap-
plying little cold cream evenly all over
the face and wIping 1t off afterwards. If
you are using a salve or liquid rouge ap-
ply It now, beginning with the cheek bone
and working backwards and upwards. If
you get too much on in one place, wipe
1t OFF with a piece of soft linen and finish
by touching the Redeemed fingers to the
chin and lobes of the ears. The reason
for this Is that woman who has nat
ural color in her cheeks will have 1t also
in the rest of her face.

Germans Have Crossed

Riuer Seven Times
By Associated Press

London. Oct. 2S. 1872 p. M.-The
"bloody mass acre" as it is described
by those on the spot, among the sand
dunes and the canals of Flanders
shows as yet but few signs of slacken
ing. The valor of the German attack
has been persistently countered by
equal valor from the steady ranks be-
fore them. Apparently no quarter is
being asked or given in this battle on
the western front. and the land over
which it is being waged resembles a
shambles.
Seven times altogether the Germans
have crossed and recrossed the User.
Each time they succeeded in gaining
the left bank they found themselves
in q death trap commanded by the
guns of the defenders.

Leave the Lips for the Last.

II color has been added to the rest OF
the face the lips will certainly look pale
by contract, while they should be the
brightest spot. For this reason the touch
Ing up of the mouth can be left to tho
last. If the mouth Is large. ret1den the
centers only, blending this away to a pale
pink in the corners If the lower lip is
prominent, put more on the upper lip
than on the lower Speak and smile as
you perform this operation, and don't
make the lips so red that the gums ap-
pear pale by contrast.
One of the small points to observe Is
the interior of the nostrils. Actresses al
ways redden here and this is sometimes
practical in private life. Anyway, the
nostril should not appear black. They
should be cleaned daily, or twice day in
large cities. both with a cleansing cream
and peroxide of hydrogen. The cream
will offset the drying effect of dust and
dirt and the peroxide is a germ killer and
will also bleach the hairs that act as a
sieve in the interior of the nose and
which are sometimes conspicuous.
The argument to this system of make
up is that 1t takes too much time. 1t Is
quite possible that 1t will take a quarter
of an hour to prepare and treat the face
as I have suggested. Remember, how
ever, II you are properly madeup you
are ready for the day, ,or for good part
OF 1t anyway, and will not need constant
recourse to powder cloth or stick rouge.
Remember, too, that there is nothing so
unpleasant in effect and suggestion as
makeup hastily and badly applied; un-
less 1t can be properly done 1t is better
to face the world with clean face and
no attempt at beautifying.

Must Be Well Chosen.
From the aesthetic point of view, how
ever, there is much to be said. The wrong
choice of makeup, or even the right
makeup wrongly applied, is anything but
attractive. The question of lighting has
TO be considered, for artificial additions to
the eyes and complexion that appear
quite natural under softly shaded electric
lights stand out in glaring relief when
worn under the daylight
Makeup must also be considered in re-
lation to the costume worn, for some col
ors take red from the face and others
reflect and give warmth to the skin.
Above all the skin must be properly pre-
pared for makeup.
Skin Must Be Smooth and Clean.
No amount of makeup will cover up a
rough, neglected skin. In fact I am not
sure but what 1t will make It look worse
a rough skin or large pores will hold pow
der like flakes; 1t is even more impossi-
BILE to make rouge look natural on an i'll
cared for skin and artificial red on rough
lips will surely betray its origin. Powder
and paint, contrary to a widespread opin-
ion, will not add beauty unless there is
some foundation to work on.
Get the skin in good condition; IL 1t Is
rough, stop the use of soap for a while
and cleanse it with a good cleansing cream
If 1t is over dry, leave a massage cream
on over night 30 that the pores may alb
sorb It and, If there are large pores
stimulate them with massage movements
and very cold face bath or even the oc-
casional use of an astringent wash. The
better condition the skin is in the more
fortunate we shall be in our use of artl-
fetal aids to beauty.
Before makeup is applied be sure that
the skin is absolutely clean. II It has
been washed with soap and water, go over
1t with a cold cream or a cleansing cream
for the purpose not only of rendering 1t
perfectly clean but of adding a little lubri-
cation.
The first item to be considered in dis
cussing artificial aids to the complexion
is face powder. The prejudice against the
use of face powder on the score of its
, harming tie skin is i'll founded. and the
woman who prides herself on using only
little rice or ordinary talcum powder
on her face is harming rather than help
ing her complexion by SO doing.
Most Face Powders Harmless.
Powders intended to be used on the
body after the bath are simply to aid in
