BIRD SHELTERS AND BATHS.

In addition to building a number OF
the bird houses which were described
upon this page several weeks ago, and
placing them in your garden or I'D
trees nearby your home, 1t is a good
plan to put up one or two shelters such
as are shown in the drawings below,
also to provide one or two pans of wa
ter for bird baths. Once the birds
have discovered these, the yard will
become a popular abiding place. and
8 refuge in time of storms, and your
bird houses will quickly be tenanted.
Figure l shows a practical form of
bird shelter that is easily built. 1t
may be constructed upon the top Of a
clothespost, or a post may be put up
especially for the purpose.
A cheese-box owe forms the roof
of this shelter, and you can get one
Of these for the asking at your gro
Gerry.
Any thin sticks of a length equal to
the diameter Of the cheese-box cover
will do for the shelter perches. There
are four pairs Of these perches, and
they should be nailed. at their centers
to opposite sides of the post support in
the manner shown in the Illustration.
Figure 2 shows a shelter and bath.

Any medium-sized g~rocery-box will do
for the shelter, and an old tin pan will
answer the purpose of a receptacle for
bath water. Four or five cross sticks
should be placed within the box for
perches, and be fastened by nails
driven through the box sides into their
ends.
The water pan is supported in a
wooden frame Gig. 81 hung from the
bottom of the shelter box by a pair Of
uprights. The frame should be made
of the right size so the pan receptacle
will set down between the strips and
the rim will rest upon the strips. The
frame must be long enough, Of course,

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use Of coffee.
It is said that in Arabia where cot.
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. ]. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds OF
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect In his eyes
which was hard to reach.
HE used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit 1t and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
Il was always fond Of tea and coffee
and finally became 80 nervous I could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was in such a con-
dition 1 thought I might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and I was almost desperate. 1t was
about this time we decided to quit cof-
fee and use Postum, and have used 1t
ever since. l am in perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better in my life.
Postum has been a great blessing
to US all, particularly to my son and
myself"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well

The Middle Course.

Senator Root at a reception was
discussing the Mexican situation.
"Steer a middle course" he said to
an extremist. These extreme ideas
are always wrong.
"Thus at tea, one young girl asked
another: 49, .
",And where are you going this sum
mer, dear?"
"From the way mother talks was
the reply, you'd think we were going
to Newport. From the way father
talks you'd think we were going to
starve. But / suppose we'll steer a
middle course, as usual, and put in a
fortnight at a s12 Atlantic City board
ing house,"

wire for making the frame, you may
use heavy wrapping-twine for the pur-
pose.
The basket shown in Fig. 8 is made
from a wire egg basket. If you haven't

sizes, but the one here shown Is Of
the best proportions for a flower bask-
ct. All that is necessary to do is to
line the inside Of the basket with
moss, turning the messy side out, so
that the basket will retain earth, and
then fasten two pieces of wire or cord
to the handle for hangers.
Figure 4 shows how two or more
fower-pots may be combined in a
wooden frame for a hanging box, and
Fig. 5 shows how the frame strips are
nailed together. Cross strips B should
be of the length Of the outside diam
eter of the flower-pots, measured just

beneath the top flange, and strips A
should be Of the proper length to con-
meet the cross pieces. After mailing
the frame strips together, screw screw
eyes into the ends of strips A, to
which to tie the suspending cords.
The hanging box shown in Fig. 6
may be made out Of any shallow gro
Gerry box. All that is necessary to
prepare it for use is to reinforce the
mailing Of the boards where they
show signs of loosening, and to pro-
vide it with hangers. The best man.
ner Of attaching the hangers is as
shown in Fig. Z, which is a view Of
the box bottom. Strips A are several
inches longer than the width of the
box, and are nailed on crosswise With
the bottom boards.

Perlls Of Riches.

H.. The Masters Elaboration, w
1881. AS a great teacher and philos.
opher Jesus took this occasion to point
out the perils Of riches. Nearly every
man is willing to run the risk. We
have, however, but to look about us
to see illustration after illustration Of
the.truth Of these words. "How hard
ly"-increased wealth, decreased piety.
How hardly"-men seek to tone down
this picture, But have no right so to
do. The only safety is found in the
words of verse 81, with God all things
are possible" The most 7evere test
possible to be given to a mans relig.
ious experience is for him to be pros
pered in wealth or position. The rich
young ruler is an evidence Of the fact
that such a goddess life Is a restless
one.
Notwithstanding his possessions his
refinement, the privileges Of his posi-
ton and a life so clearly lived as to
leave nc vulgar moral scar, yet he eS.
claims: What shall l do that I may
inherit eternal life?" 1t was easier
for the proverbial camel to have en-
tered the city gate Tor q literal
needles eye as you PREFER than for
this young man to yield to God the
control Of his life. Every life is under
control. A goddess life is a s%elf-con-
trolled life. AS men came to Jesus he
saw perfectly their individual needs;
their peculiar malady.
The disciples were amazed at the
masters words and thought If a rich
man cannot be saved there is hope
for none. Such is not the meaning.
This is revealed In the reply to Peters
question. Men are saved irrespective
Of position or Of possessions for God
loves them all. Those who turn the
control Of their lives over to his keep
ing, those who, no matter what their
condition or position in life, follow
him, leaving all, or bringing all as the
case may be, will have their reward
here in this life and in the world to
come, eternal life.

The simplest method Of fastening the
nower-pots is by using screw-eyes,
screwing a screw-eye through the hole
in the bottom of each pot into the post
or other support. The screw-eye can
be turned by hand, and the eye is
large enough to hold the pot in place,
which is the advantage Of using a
screY-eye instead of 4 crew. If you
use a screw, it will be necessary to
place an iron washer under the screw
bead to keep the head from pulling
through the hole.
