Feat of Cat.

There is nothing especially striking
about the feet Of a cat except its abil-
ity always to land on them. Hold q
young cat by its feet a short distance
from the ground for a few seconds and
then let go. The cats back, being
heavier than it's feet, should strike the
ground first. But it doesn't. Just as
the cat is being let go it gives a quick
upward thrust with its chest, and as
the feet are freed they swing under
it so it lands on them. In the case Of
the young cat that has expert
enced this before 1t doesn't know that
it is going to be dropped. If it were a
long drop there would be time to think.
but in the short drop the cat must
act, and act Immediately. In fact, it
is really forehanded. The natural con-
clusion, then, is that this faculty in the
cat is located In its feet. It is inherent
in them.-Atlanta Constitution.

MaeterIinck on Medicine.

M. Maeterlinck might almost be de-
scribed as a poet in spite Of himself.
Had the desire of his heart been at
tanned, he would have been a doctor.
Some years ago he confessed to his
early ambitions in a letter addressed
to a French medical journal. 81 never
commenced the study Of medicine" he
wrote. II did my duty in conforming
with the family tradition which or
dams that the eldest o shall be an
avocat. l shall regret to my last day
that l obeyed those traditions and con-
secrated my most precious years to the
vainest of sciences. All my instincts.
all my inclinations, attached me to the
study of medicine. which l am more
than ever convinced is the most beau
tiful key which gives access to the
great realities of life."-London Spec

USE OF OLIVE OIL.
Reasons Why It Should Have More
Prominence In Cooking.

Reasons Why It Should Have More
Prominence In Cooking.
Americans are not, generally speak
ing, liberal enough in the use of olive
oil. 1t should occupy a more prominent
place in cooking.
Any olive Oil left in the pan after
frying can be filtered through cheese
cloth and kept in a cool place for
future use. Olive oil can be used re-
peatedly. 1t should be hot before the
article to be fried is placed in the pan.
Olive oil is capable of having the
temperature raised to over 600 degrees
before it burns. Butter burns at a
little over 200, suet at about 300 and
lard at 235. It will be seen that butter
is a poor frying medium, as food must
be kept at too low a temperature or
it scorches, while with oil the high
degree quickly coats the outside of the
article with a crust that prevents the
oil from penetrating.
Rub the preserving kettle with olive
oil to prevent fruit from burning.
Use olive oil in recipes when posi-
BILE where butter is called for. 1t Is
especially delicious in soft gingerbread.

JOHN R. LAWSON.

JOHN r. LAWSON.
Lawson's attorneys will appeal. The
Chicago Federation Of Labor has start
ed a movement to aid the labor leader
and recently wired President Wilson to
investigate the trial. 1t Is believed that
organized labor will rally to the de-
tense of the convicted man.
John Nimmo was killed in a battle
between deputies and striking coal
miners. Lawson was one of the lead
ers Of the strike and had charge Of the
tent colony in which the strikers were
established. Before the state militia
arrived on the scene at Ludlow several
clashes had taken place between the
strikers and deputy sherifs. On the
afternoon Of Oct. %. 1913. a fight
started between these deputies and a
body Of strikers. Firing ragged until
evening. Some time during the battle
Nimmo was shot in the leg and bled to
death. Lawson was charged with the
homicide on the theory Of the prosecu-
tion that he was in charge of the tent
colony and in charge of the strikers
during the battle.

SETTLE YOUR HOME.
After Vacation Ends This Task Falls
10 the Housewife.

After Vacation Ends This Task Falls
to the Housewife.
Coming home from a vacation is not
relished by any worker. but it is par
ticularly hard for the housewife, who
must set her home in order immediate
~ upon her return. And this Is the
lot which awaits most women who
have spent the summer in the country
and whose homes or apartments have
been shut up during the hot weather.
A partially dismantled apartment is
a most depressing sight to view upon
ones Homecoming and the prospect Of
all the work to be done to put the
rooms in order will not add to the gay
ETY. of ones spirits. However, the work
must be done and done quickly, so 1t
must be accepted with the best grace
possible.
If the housewife has been careful
about closing up the house before her
departure in the early part of summer,
her task of reopening the rooms and
setting them in order will be consider
ably lessened at this time Of year. All
that will be necessary will be to dust,
strip off the coverings from furniture
and pictures, put down the rugs after
the floors have been oiled and hang up
the curtains and outer coverings.
In opening up the house for winter
occupation begin with the bedrooms.
for these will be needed first. 1t is de-
cidedly unhealthy to sleep even for one
night in rooms that have been unaired
for several weeks. So throw open the
windows the moment you enter the
house and let the fresh air clear out
the musty odors. Now begin by taking
down the bed and. going over every
crack and crevice carefully, wiping of
every particle Of dust and washing
with gasoline II necessary. Do not
use gasoline near FIRE or open light.
Next tackle the mattress. This
should be thoroughly brushed, beaten
and aired before being put back on the
bed. The same treatment should be
accorded the springs. While the bed
is thus dismantled, the springs and
mattresses having been sent to the roof
for an airing IL possible. wipe on the
walls Of the bedroom with a broom

wrapped in flannel. This will do away
with the chance Of microbes remaining
in the room from dust which may have
collected on the walls.
Now the bed - ready to be made
and the rest of the room set IN order.
This work will take up probably an
entire day. and as It is the most i'm
portant and necessary work to be done
after the housewives return. she
should rest content with her labors and
leave the rest Of the house for some
future time.
It is unwise to try to accomplish too
much after the return. for all the bene-
fit Of the vacation will be gone II the
housewife becomes tired out while put
ting her house In order.

The French Order, lie Ranks and tie
Limits Of Membership.
The Legion of Honor Is a French or
der for the recognition Of military and
civil merit, instituted by Napoleon
while consul May 10, 1902, and inaugu-
rated July IA, 1904. The decoration
originally consisted Of a star contain
ing the portrait Of Napoleon surround
ed by a wreath Of oak and laurel. with
the legend, Napoleon Emperor des
Francais;;" on the reverse was the
French eagle with a thunderbolt in his
talons and the legend. "Honneur ct

The order has been remodeled sew
eral times. the last occasion being sub
sequent to the downfall of the second
empire. There are now FIVE ranks or
classes-ordinary chevaliers or knights,
officers. commanders, grand officers.
grand crosses. The profuse granting Of
the decoration Of the order latterly
brought the institution into discredit,
and the number of chevaliers is now
restricted to 25,OOO, the officers to
1900, the commanders to 1000, the
grand officers to 200 and the grand
crosses to seventy.
The star now bears a figure emblem

Sharks, Eoos.

The eggs of fishes are usually small.
soft and inconspicuous. The most re-
markable point about them is the ex-
traordinary number laid by the individ-
ual. A single cod lays as many as
100000 eggs. Sharks lay eggs which
are large in size, few as to numbers
and are deposited singly instead Of in
masses. These eggs consist Of a dark
colored leathery envelope and are
usually adorned with frills. horns or
long twisted tendrils. These append

Best Methods Of Improving
Earth Highways.
GREAT VALUE TO FARMERS.

The Office Of Public Roads Advises
That In Lieu Of an Engineer the
Farmers Themselves Should Look
Over and Attend to tho Old Earth
Highways.
a In view of the fact that at the be-
ginning Of the year no less than 80 per
cent or approximately 100000 miles
Of the roads Of the country were Of
the ordinary earth type. 1t is important
that the farmer understand the best
methods of improving such roads.
The office Of the public roads ad-
vises the communities to have an en-
gineer go over the old earth highways,
or, in lieu Of IN engineer, that the
farmers themselves should see to it
that the roads are so graded that the
bitches or cutters are parallel with the
center line of the road. Cutters must
have a uniform grade and be Of suffi-
Gent capacity to keep the surface we'll
drained. Drainage is the most i'm
portant feature Of an earth road.
Every farmer who lives in Il section
where both sand and clay are prev
alent travels occasionally over some
particular spot in the road which is al
ways good and rarely requires atten-
ton from the road hands. Good drain
age may be responsible for this condi-
