ODDS AND ENDS.

apply oxallc acid OF the tip Of a camers
hair brush and soak up with blotting
paper.
Add a tablespoonful Of table salt to
the gasoline when %sponging clothes and
the rings usually left on the garments
will be avoided.
The fine steel brushes used on suede
shoes are much better TO remove the
shine from worn cloth than is pumice
stone. These small brushes cost %
cents and can be conveniently carried
when travelling. Use a circular motion
when brushing.
Cut pieces about two inches wide and
three long from the heels Of old rub
bers, peel off the cloth and sew them
inside the heels of your rubbers. They
are rough and sticky and will cling
fast 10 the shoe and entirely stop that
d~isagreeable trait some rubbers have
of slipping off at the heel.

ROBIN SAVED BY FIREMEN.

There is a happy robin redbreast
singing somewhere around the pleas

owes Its life to those who could not
see a robin In trouble or in danger Of
death through an accident that had be-
fallen it. While it was building its
nest in the top of a tall maple forty
feet from the ground II Of its legs
got entangled in some Irvine it had
picked up. A resident near by who
had been watching the busy bird saw
its predicament and at once telephoned
to Agent Dexter A. Atkins Of the Mas

communicated with Chief Daggett Of
the fire department. who dispatched
the aerial ladder truck to the scene and
then Fireman Robert ID. Ruhe, In the
presence of scores of children who had
scurried thither from all points to see
the little songster released, assembled
the tall ladder, snapped off the twig
that held the bird and brought it to the
ground. The cord that held the tiny
captive was cut. and 1t flew away to

rubbed in vigorously, so as to leave no
noticeable residue. Let stand twenty
four hours, and II the surface of the
leather is rough polish with q piece Of

would be necessary. Each coat should
be given twenty-four hours to dry, and
each coat must be polished before an

Capturing the Eagle.

There was once a young lad named
Rudy, who lived In Switzerland, where
the mountains are very high. When
he was a little boy he had been taught
by a cat how to climb. so that he
could always climb very high, and
when he grew up he became a chamois
hunter. One day he fell In love with
Babette. the miller's daughter. and
they wanted to get married. But the
miller told Rudy he must first bring him
the eagle from the top Of a high rock.
Rudy tied five long ladders together
and at last captured the eagle; then.
of course, the miller gave his consent,
and Rudy and the miller's daughter
were married. - Andersens "fairy

He had about him u grim hui

he did one a favor he accompanied 1t
with a slap; IL he gave n slap he ac-
companied 1t with a favor. The con
sequence was that the object of his IA
vors and his slaps didn't know whether
to love or to hate him.
Possibly the only person who thor
oughly understood Mr.. Gunter was his
daughter. Clara. The reason of her
understanding was hat she was q
chip of the old block. She was the
apple Of his eye. Whatever she want
ed Of him she got; whatever he wanted
of her he didn't get. though there was
nothing he wanted from her except a
demonstration of affection, and she
was SO much like him that the more
she loved him the more indiferently
she treated him.
Well, the time came-as 1t usually
does with girlS-when she got a lover.
She went into the country for the sum-
mer md carhe back engaged. On her
return she said to her father:
Papa, / have met the man / wish

ask you for me. That, Of course. is a
mere form. l am too like you to be
thwarted in anything l desire. There
fore you have only to give your con-
sent. though I hope you will be
pleased"
Just So" remarked the parent.
Miss Gunter turned away. but paus-

anxiety in her expression.

"Goina to Jerusalem"

A very interesting game to be played
Is ''going to Jerusalem" Arrange a
row of chairs down the center of the
room, one chair facing u side of the
room, the next facing In the opposite
direction, and 10 on to the end Of the
line, there being one less chair than
there are persons to play. A brisk
march should then be played on the
piano, while all the players march
around the whole row of chairs.
Suddenly the music stops, and all
must try to sit. One, Of course. Is left
standing, and that one Is then out Of
the game. One chair is therefore re-
moved. and the game goes on until only
two persons are left.

NURSERIES,.

In the scheme Of living where ap-
pearances must be maintained at all
costs, where the keeping of servants is
regarded as an absolute essential.
where the whole aim is to impress
ones acquaintances. children are too
often regarded as needless lrxuries.
Where they are permitted to Intrude,
they come, as a usual thing, il single
numbers, one child being considered
enough of a burden. In Europe the
women who have followed this theory
have In many cases seen their entire
family swept away and the sad condi-
ton has made the mothers of America
pause and reflect.
When n comes to think of 1t, how
very few houses are built with nurse
ries. Even large homes, rented at ex-
orbitant rates, seldom have a nursery.
One OF the bedrooms has to be given
over to the Riddles. but it can never be
made to look quite as useful and pref
ty as II 1t had been designed for the
purpose. The ideal nursery ought to
b. tiled all round halfway up the wall,
not cold green tiles, but a warm shade
CT tan or a deep pink. The room ought
to have fitted cupboards in 1t. SO that
not an inch Of space is wasted. There
should be fitted guards In front Of the
windows, so that there is no danger
CT the babies falling out. and the fire.
place ought to be large and open, not
the absurd little affairs that one finds
In the bedrooms Of the ordinary mod
ern house.
