MILITARY HATS.
Everybody Is Wearing Them and Look
ina Pert and Pretty.

Everybody Is Wearing Them and Look
ing Pert and Pretty.
Would you be in fashion? Then
adopt a hat which in shape at least
resembles one worn by some person In
military service in the armies of En-
rope.
1t need not be a general officer. II
Is the private or the marine who gets
the head covering which is jauntiest.
These hats must be of the sort which
best become a feminine face not too
old for small hats, which are only con-
vincing when partly posed trifle to-
ward one ear.
Among the new millinery there Is
not a model exactly like Tommy At
kins', but there Is tiny affair which
covers no more of the hair than does
his of scarlet cloth. Like the majority
Of the military hats not designed for
service at the front, this one is Of
black velvet. A broad sided rever
brim lies SO fatty against the crown
that its presence would be overlooked
but for an edging Of narrow silver rib
bon. Tiny tassels In silver or gold are
new among military trimmings, but
they are not surprise, for they accord
perfectly with the tinsel braids and
sordingS.

HATCHING AND CARE
OF YOUNG DUCKS

Ducks make such bad mothers that Il
is better to,hateh their eggs under hens
or in incubators. The drst few eggs Z
duck lays each season are seldom fer
tile. Eleven are full sitting, and 1t re-
Quires twenty-eight days for their
Matching. Examine the nest every two
or three days after setting the hen for
bad eggs.
For twenty-four hours feed nothing
to ducks. First week, half pint Of
rolled oats. some cracker or stale bread
crumbs. two hard boiled eggs chopped
fine. half cupful Of coarse sand just
moistened with milk. Feed four times
a day just what they will eat In ten
minutes.
Second and third weeks. half pound
Of ground oats. the same Of wheat
bran. one-fourth Of a pint Of cornmeal.
the same of coarse sand, two table
spoonfuls Of beef meal. a pint Of finely
cut green clover, rye or cabbage mois-
tened with scalded milk. They must
be fed four times day.
Fourth to sixth week. boil quart Of
hulled oats for an hour. add pint Of
cornmeal, wheat bran, half pint Of
fine grit. the same of beef scraps and
quart Of clover or any kind of green
food. Feed four times day.
Sixth to tenth week, one quart Of

Not every housewife realizes that she
can save herself an immense amount
Of time and trouble on the big silver
cleaning day II she viii take the prop
or daily care Of IL
Remember In the nrst place TO wash
the silver as soon as possible after it
has been used. A wooden tub should
be used for this purpose II you possess
such a thing. as then there win be little
danger Of scratching the silver. Take
water as hot as the hand can bear, add
few drops of ammonia and enough
melted soap or soap powder to make
a nice lather.
Wash the silver in this, using piece
Of soft toweling to rub 1t with. Rinse
In clean hot water and dry with a fine
towel while the silver Is still warm.
You will find that If It is allowed to
remain wet 1t will be difficult to re-
move the water marks. For this rea-
son. If large quantity of silver is be-
ing done. 1t Is best to do little at q
time
When quite dry give each article a
good rub with u channels leather. This
gives brilliant polish.
Take great care not to scratch the
silver throughout the process. and 1t Is
good idea to keep the forks separate
from the other articles. Another Inn
portant point to remember Is that both
towel and lather must be perfectly
clean and free from grease.
Egg spoons that have been very
much stained with the sulphur from
the egg should be rubbed with little
1ne dry salt and then washed
A silver teapot may be- washed In the
same way, only II 1t has wooden han

to smell musty Gil It to the brim with
boiling water and add piece OF wash
ing soda. Close down the lid and let
It stay like that all night

Who Am u

This game is always a favorfte, and.
while not new, 1t may be made to
seem so by choosing new characters
each time Of playing.
The hostess prepares In advance as
many slips Of paper as there are guests
expected, writing upon each the name
Of some well known character in fc-
ton or history on in contemporary life.
Upon the arrival of her friends as she
greets them she pins one Of the bits
of paper on the back of each. The
wearers do not see them or know what
characters they are supposed to repre-
sent, but are expected to guess 1t from
the remarks of the rest, who are care
full not to tell the name. For instance.
the "Queen of Hearts" may be compli-
mented upon her domestic talents and
her delicious pastry and be asked
whether her dishonest servant had re-
formed or been dismissed.
Little Red Riding Hood" may be
condoled with on the death of her
grandmother and warned Of the dan
ger Of making chance acquaintance on
the road.
Henry Will" might be rallied on
his fondess for the ladies and question
ed about divorces; Goliath" advised
to "take a man of his size," and not
bully a little fellow. and Columbus"
might be asked about his voyages and
discoveries.

employer refusing to pay wages five
days after due to any one who has
left his employ. will be required to
continue the wages at the same rate
for thirty days as a penalty under
the bill by Lyon, which today passed
the Senate. The bill makes it a mis-
demeanor for an employer to refuse
or defer wages. after due when he
is able to pay. The presence of a
crowd of lobbyists on the senate floor
when it reconvened provoked a dec
laration from Eshleman that he
would tolerate no lobbying while the
senate is in session. The assembly
passed the Meek bill permitting the
employment of convict labor on state
