Movies Taken For Ghosts.

According to a missionary, the first
display of moving pictures in the prov
ince of Szechuan, China, 1000 miles up
the Yangtze, caused a mob disturbance
of alarming proportions.
When the bodiless, yet vigorous
shadows began TO move silently across
the screen in the visible but 1mma-
terial stimulation Of life murmurs
arose, soon Increasing to shouts and
uproar, that foreign devils had pos
sessed the locality and were in league
with the spirits of the dead Actual
destruction and perhaps bloodshed was
prevented only by the dubbed guns OF
the native soldiery. Later, when the
pictures We're explained, the natives
became ardent fans. The first feature
films shown in Szechuan caused the
outburst of superstitious rage.-Photo-

Are Worn.
On white and pearl and biscuit kid
shoes and boots patent leather trim
ming Is often merely a thing of very
narrow lines outlining the seams and
the diamond tip. Dark blue very light
ly trimmed In white is offered in all
the shoe shops and is in some models
very pretty, but does not seem to find
great favor, probably because it does
not harmonic so readily with other
things as do the neutral tones.
Green leather trims some of the
white shoes, but appears more often
upon tennis and sports shoes than upon
dress models.
Black and white check tops with
black vamps are offered, and bronze
leather is used alone and in combina-
lions.
In sports shoes there are new and
good models, white buckskin or can
vas trimmed in russell, black or green
leather being shown In numerous new
pumps, lace shoes and lace boots. The
all white buckskin boot or shoe re-
mains the best looking thing of its
kind and is in some-cases fitted with
a cork heel instead of the regulation
rubber or leather. White feet soles
and heels are used. too. on some of the
best new sports shoes and are said to
give excellent service and great com
fort.

Fashions and the Household
FURNISHING vERANDA.
Hammock, Willow Armehairs and Paint
Among the Possibilities.

among the possibilities.
Every well appointed country house
has a veranda, terrace or gallery that
is practically nm outdoor sitting room.
Unfortunately, however, the pest ap-
pointments for these are still expensive
at the select shops, being classed as
novelties or specialties. Willow arm
chairs and Gloucester hammocks have
been greatly reduced in price, but ta-
bles, garden seats, settles, etc, of good
design are still high.
On the other hand, it is possible. with
a little skill and a great deal of paint.
to furnish a veranda very attractively
with little money.
A charming breakfast porch can be
equipped entirely with kitchen furni-
ture painted and decorated like the
expensive peasant and cottage sets
which are in vogue at present. One
OF the heavy, plain ironing tables that
can be converted into a settle is the
best type of table to buy. and the
chairs should be of the p%lainest. Get
your furniture in the natural wood
and paint it any color you wish,
though green, on the whole, is most
satisfactory. Make or buy a stencil of
some simple design; conventionalized
flowers. like the decorations on the
Swedish OF Hungarian pottery, are
good. Stencil a border of these around
your table and on the backs of your
chairs. Paint it in bright peasant COL
ors, and when these are dried go over
the decorations with a waterproof var
nish.
This Is not work that demands any
great skill, but 1t calls for time, pa
tience and extreme neatness. The eff
fact is we'll worth he trouble, for with
the outlay of q few dollars you will
have a set of furniture that you could
not buy for five times that amount.
Dairy benches and stools decorated IN
the same way make very attractive
garden furniture.

Fun With Apples.

Do you live near any apple trees? IL
you do you can print your friends
initials on the growing apples. While
the fruit yet hangs green on the trees
select the biggest apple for the fun.
Cut out from thin tough paper your
initials, with round dots for periods.
Next paste these letters and dots on
that side of the apple which is most
turned to the sur. taking care not to
loosen the fruits hold upon its stem.
AS soon as the apple is ripe take off
the paper cuttings, which, having shut
out the reddening rays of the sun, have
kept the fruit green just beneath them.
so that the name or initials now show
plainly.

On the inside of the door, In center,

angle, the short arm Of which screws
or to the door.
The next longest arm is a small, o
low cylinder, which extends from the
door about a foot. The end is open.
Through this end can be slid six gar
ment hangers. Six holes in this hol-
low cylinder permits any garment to
be easily removed. The third arm OF
the triangle is simply for strength.
AT the right Of the door, inside the
closet. is a high shelf. Along the under
side of this shelf, a little back from
the front edge, screw.a ten cen metal
towel rack. Upon this there is ample
room to hang eight coat hangers. At

the left end Of the closet and parallel
with the left end, place part Of a small

Small Percentage Of Youths Is Reached.
Notwithstanding the rapid develop
ment and great extent of scouting at
the present time in this country, we
are, after all, reaching but a small per-
centage of the boys whose interest
might be had If adequate leadership
were provided. Judging from the re-
ports from all parts of the country, the
present basis upon which we are 'now
organized and going forward seems to
assure a greatly increased development
during the coming year. From Oct.
/, 1914, to Feb. 3, 1915, 45,330 boys
were enrolled, as compared with 3d.
929 for the same period of 1913 and
1914; $50 new troops We're organized,
as compared with 533 for the same pc
riod of 1894. Commissions were
granted to Alb men to serve as scout
masters and assistants, as compared
with 2,251 for the same period of

Soma Facts About Birds.

Ostriches have small wings because
their legs are long. and the wings are
not needed for running. They are only
used to steady the body while running.
Birds have sharp beaks because they
have no teeth, and the beak seizes,
holds and divides their food.
Birds that swim under water have
web feet because the spreading out of
the toes of the bird brings the thin
membrane between the toes into the
shape of a fin. and by striking this fin
against the water the bird moves it.
self along.
