When the above dry mash is fed to
heavier breeds than Leghorns. such.
for example. as Plymouth Rocks and
Rhode Island Reds. especially with
yearlings and rwo.ycar-old hens. the
tendency is to take on an excessive

CIRCULAR SKIRTS.

The Gored Models Are Likely to VIII
Out In Popularity.
Every woman who remembers the
last time that circular skirts were in
vogue will call to mind the great diff
Guilty experienced in maintaining an
even hem.
The circular sides were bound to
stretch and sag despite all the efforts
Of the skillful dressmaker to the con-
trary.
And. although the circular shirt is
featured among the new seasons
models. there a be little question but
that the gored adaptations will win
out eventually.
For those who do not mind odd
devices the hem introduced by Premet
Of Paris will make Il strong appeal.
The hem is the outcome really of
the effort to counteract the sagging
tendency of the circular model. It is
scOoped away at the sides. thereby in
dicating a longer line at the front and
back sections.
In the course OF time the sides drop
a little bit. and the hem balance is
thereby maintained.

production Of the Messiah" The
chorus had triumphantly sung through
to the place where the soprano solo
takes up the refrain, Il Know That

a beautiful woman, whose voice had
been faultlessly trained. AS the tones
came out high and clear the listeners
were filled with wonder at her per-
feet technique. Her breathing was
faultless, her note placing perfect. her
e%nunciati0n beyond criticism.
After the final note there was a
pause, and all eyes were turned toward
the on conductor to catch his look of
approval. Great was the surprise.

''Then sing It," he cried. Sing it
from your heart. Tell it to me so !
and all who hear you will know and
know that you know the Joy and pow
er Of It." Then with an impertous
gesture he motioned for the orchestra
to go over it again.
This time the young woman sang
with no thought of herself or of tech
niQue and applause from her hearers.
She sang the truth that she knew in
her heart and experienced in her
life and that she wished to send
home to the hearts of the listeners. As
the last notes died away there was no
wonder at the craftsman's work. but
there were quickened hearts that had
been moved by the glorious message
they had received. AS the singer stood
forgetful of applause. the old master
stepped up and with tears in his eyes
kissed her on the forehead and said.

Travellers In the orient have much
to say about the Indian crow, a bird

But a naturalist who knows the Indian
crows at first hand has called them
''shreds of Satan. cinders from Tar

lures their due. however, it should be
said that life in India is not a little
%enlivened by their presence. A cor

Curious Legends That Are Told In
Different Countries.
We have all Of us heard stories of
the treasure at the end of the rain
bow. There is a pot of gold there, you
know. And If WI could only walk far
enough. run fast enough, we might
find it and be ever thereafter happy.
That is what our nurses tell us when
we are children. isn't it?
And sometimes we learn that the
rainbow is a bridge. and the thunder
is the roar Of the heavy wheels going
over it.
These are the stories that we hear
in childhood about the rainbow. Chill
dren Of other lands hear many other
stories.
In Greece nurses tell the children
that If any n by chance stumbles
over the end of the rainbow his or her
sex Is changed. A fine story that to
tell a child! The little Greeks must
run away from the ends Of the rain
bow instead Of seeking them to find
vi pot Of gold.
The little Turk hears from his nurse
that If he can but touch the band Of
orange that spans the heavens in the
rainbow his head will turn to, silver.
with rubies for eyes and teeth Of gold.
In many parts of Russia the rain
bow is called a pump. and in Hungary
it is called Gods pump" and ''Noah's
pump"
In Russia. in some provinces. the
wells are covered with strong plat
forms. so that the water cannot be
drawn from them by the rainbow. and
in other provinces it is said that three
angels have charge of the rainbow
one to draw water through it from the
earth. another to give water from it to
the clouds and another to return the
water to the earth in the form Of rain.
