hole is made in the center of the lid
and all that has then to be done is
to place the ball inside the tin and
fix the lid securely on and draw the
string off through the hole as It is
required.
For suspe--ding the scissors, two
small holes are made in the lower
side of the tin, close together and the
end of piece of string passed in at
one hole and out at the other. IN this
way the string can be tied to the tin
and the other end of the string can
be tied to the handle of a pair of
scissors.
A string box of this kind is very
useful fastened to the wall by the
side of writing table, and when in
tended for that purpose the tin should
be neatly covered with thin silk. This
can be done by cutting out pieces of
the required size and shape, and turn

the tin and underneath and fastening

NEWEST EFFECTS IN JEWELRY
Tango Sets Are Made Not Only for

Other Fancies.

Tango sets of buckle and slipper
fastenings have become popular, but
very much newer are the sets not for
the shoe but for the hair These are
made up of comb, pin and barrette.
The combs are the high curved combs
for the back of the hair; the pins are
fancy little affairs. and the barrettes
are fan shaped, narrow and high.
Pairs of two-pronged pins are espe-
cially new. They are made of shell,
set with the modish emerald, topaz
or amethyst, or they are formed of
diamond-mounted platinum.
Little airy bouquets pins and sash
buckles are among the latest of jew-

bands of velvet may now be had in
sets with matching wristlets The
necklets are mounted with little
gemmed pendants and the wristbands

the sulphur through the pores of the

But in 1860 the production had in
creased to six quarts, and by 1870 to
eight.
The breeders of the trotting horse
found it tremendously hard to make
their steeds go any faster after the
2:10 mark was reached, and it took
years and years to get below two min
utes-and at about the two-minute
mark in all probability the record will
always stand. So with the milch cows,
as the yield increased it grew more
difficult to breed record breakers, or to
better the average; but now the aver
age daily yield of all German cows is
said to be ten quarts.
A thousand per cent gain in a cen
tury and quarter; that is what long
period breeding will do. 1t is such
work as this which alone will keep
the world big enough for its increas-

Kindly and firmly, and should under

1t is always advisable to train the bull

Never permit the bull to have his own
way about anything where you may

or tease him. The man who is al

SUMMER SLEEVES ARE LONG
Extend From Shoulder to Wrist
SerViceable Hat Covering De.
signed for the Rainy Weather.

Sleeves still remain long, reaching
from shoulder to wrist; many are fin
ished with a point or a fiaring cuff
which falls over the hand. AS the
warm weather advances it would be
well to have the sleeve as transparent
as possible.
In direct contrast, many evening
gowns have no sleeves at all, but have
a fullness of chiffon or tulle carried
over the shoulder simply to hold the
bodice in place.
There are some very serviceable
coverings for hats to be worn in rainy
weather. Rather they are for unex-
pected showers, and are so small and
compact that they may be carried
about in handbag or in an automo-
bile pocket or in any other small
space, ready to use on the first sign
of rain. Phen the thin waterproof
covering can be spread over the hat
and fastened securely.

DAIRY
BREEDING FOR MILK SUPPLY
Breeds Improve the Thing for Which
They Are SeIected-Germany
Makes Increase in Yield.

Cattle used to be bred chiefly for
work. Therefore the COWS did not
give much milk. Breeds improve the
things for which they are selected. If
cows were used for stepladders we
should by this time have them seven
feet high
In 1880 the work cows of Germany
gave an average of pint and half d
day. Interest in milk increased, and
by 1900 the average yield was a quart
and half. Breeding went on milk
ward, and in 1910 the German cows
averaged two quarts of milk each per
day In 1920 three, in 1880 four-and
there the gain stopped for 80 years.

FOR COOLING PASTRY
Device That Should Be in Use in
Every Kitchen.
Calls for Little Expenditure Of Money
and Is Simple In Construction
Of fWIre Netting and Empty
Cotton Spools.

A cake aud pastry cooler is an abb
solute necessity If confectionery is to
be at its best. Many batch of cakes
and pastry has been ruined through
not being cooled properly; pastry goes
sad and cakes sodden. When cakes
come from the oven they should be
placed on wire tray; thus the steam
evaporates and does not re-enter the
cake, and the cooling down is a grad
ual process; extremes of cold or heat
spoil the best-made confections. A
wire tray is quite an item to buy, but
one can easily be made at home at
practically no cost at all. All that is
In size about IA inches by 10 inches.
and some empty cotton reels. The
tray will be all the firmer II four
strips of thin wood bind its edges, that
is, wrap the edges of the wire on thin
pieces of stick the same length as the
sides and secure with nail here and
there; this will do away with any
fear Of wire projecting; II the sticks
are not used the ends of wire that are
loose should be carefully nipped or
entwined. The tray must stand at a
little height. For this purpose four
empty cotton reels are excellent as
feet; choose the reels all of one size,
and black ones would make a neater
job. Simply tack the wire tray on to
the bobbins, bobbin to be at each
corner; greater strength is given to
the tray If bobbin is also placed in
the center of each of the longest
sides. These trcys are splendid and
answer just as well as an expensive
