The Queer Peneuins.

Sir Ernest Shackleton, who led the
British antarctic expedition which so
nearly reached the south pole. tells
amusing anecdotes of the penguins,
that, when standing upright, look from
a distance like a lot of dignifed gentle
men in black coats and white waist
coats, and many a time s~hipwrecked
castaways in the southern hemisphere,
approaching some desolate coast, have
imagined the distant penguins sitting
upright upon a rocky shore to be hu-
man beings. Sir Ernest tells that one
day a big penguin strolled into camp
and saw one of the shaggy dogs. Mr..
Penguin stared and stared and came
closer to see what manner of beast
this might be, until the dog snapped
p~layfully at the birds funny short
legs. Next day the penguin came
again to camp with a personally con-
Quoted party of penguins, apparently
to show them the dog. They came Of
ten after this, and the explorers anus
ed themselves by occasionally giving
them a concert with the photograph,
to whose music the birds bobbed
around In a circle with much apparent
pleasure. About fifteen species are
known. The king penguins are the
largest. They exist in colonies of many
thousands.-Farm Journal.

New Towel Ends.

The ends of the newest embroidered
towels are surely trying to emulate
the latest of dress fashions, for they
are showing every variety of scallops.
Where one was once content to hem.
stitch the ends of a buck towel and
place a simple embroidered letter in
the middle of one end. to be strictly
up to date one must now slash the tow
cling into some new cut of scalloping.
There are square scallops, pointed
ones, wide and shallow and deep round
ed scallops and scallops within seal
lops. And they are embroidered in col
ors, often with a finish of a second
buttonholing Of another color or a
crocheted picot edge. Fillet crochet
inserts are quite the thing now for
towel ends; sometimes Il sees a piece
of illet insertion with three initials OF
the intended owner crocheted in the
mesh. Cutwork initials or solid initials
with an oval background of cutwork
are very effective and are not difficult
when one considers the results obtain
ed. The plain woven ends of Turkish
towels are now being embroidered,
most often with a Powered border of
darned work or French knots.

scareorow and Snow MAN.

The scarecrow was chasing the snow man.
No, it wasn't a dream at all,
For I saw them as plain as daylight
From the top of our garden wall.
There were miles and miles between them,
Or months, perhaps l hould say,
Fol the nov man passed in December
And the scarecrow passed in May.
The chase was very exciting,
AS on and on they whirled,
But they came no nearer together,
For 1 followed them round the world.
But the winds blew hard on the scare
crow,
And he found no place to hide;
They tore him to rags and tatters
n scattered him far and wide
n the sun beat Town on he snow man.
In his garments of dingy white;
I saw him grow smaller and smaller
Till he vanished quite out of sight.
But each year the chase is repeated:
You can see 1t as well as I
II you live near my fathers garden
And watch while they're passing by.

The Cotton Net on New Handkerchiefs.
Sheer linen lawn is the material of
which most of the handkerchiefs are
made with the exception of the glove
handkerchiefs. and they are usually
made of crepe de chine. Cotton net or
tulle forms the border band on which
IS gathered a plated frill of the net,
one inch wide. So it would seem that
che frill has invaded even the realm of

and blue with rounded corners are the
handkerchiefs that boast the net or

Tor those with the hemstitched finish.

a Paste Pot Party.

Did you ever give a paste pot party?
You'll need some old magazines and a
pair of shears, as well as a blank book
in which to paste pictures You can
make the blank book yourself from
pieces of plain. smooth paper. and, in
fact. each little guest might enjoy
making such a book for herself or him
self. Sick children always like to look
at scrap books. and so you might send
the ones you make at the party to a
hospital after you have finished with
them. Q
A set of cut out paper dolls should
be given each child to carry home as
a souvenir of the occasion.

of two geological gardens. one in Cen
trail park and the other in Bronx park.
The latter is the larger and is said to
be one of the finest institutions of its
kind in the world. Central park o

a number of specimens of rare animals.
In one respect Central park zoo leads.

the first of its species born in captivity
in this country. The picture shows
the little fellow being fondled by his

oriain of a Word.

The origin of "windfall'' in the sense
Of good luck dates back to the time of
William the Conqueror. 1t was then
a criminal offense to cut timber in the
forests. Only such could be gathered
as the wind had blown down; hence a
heavy windstorm was hailed by the
peasants as so much good luck, and
from this we get the term.

"War Thoughts. .

| -. The Unlocking states in these re-
cent years have seen the growth of a
German military machine so perfect and
so mighty as to fill them with fear for
their own safety. Now and then the
sword was ratified in its scabbard to EN-
phasize the demands of German states
men or to secure something good for
German allies, since allies must be paid
for their sacrifices. The creation of
powerful navy supplemented the military
growth. But this was not all. Her anx-
ious and watchful neighbors have also
seen the upspringing of political philo-
sophy in Germany which frankly threat
ened the integrity of the whole European
structure. Room to expand; woe to the
weak; the future is for the strong man
armed; such was the strong meat fed TO
simple and naturally gentle people un-
til it turned the brain. Such was the
ominous doctrine preached by soldier, his
torian, statesman, backed by huge army
increase, war Zeppelins, strategic rail-
ways. dreadnoughts, by all the tremend-

Coal Mined in Rocky Mountain States

Coal Mined in Rocky Mountain States
In all but one of the Rocky Mountain
states the production OF coal in 1914 was
materially less than in 1913, the excep-
ton to the general rule being New Mex
leo. Because OF the continued labor trou-
bles in Colorado and the inability of the
operators there to meet the normal de-
mands, the output of New Mexico, ac-
cordmg to u. W. Parker, of the United
States Geological Survey, showed an in
crease Of Is to 20 per cent. Coke pro-
ductiom, however showed a decrease Of
about 80 per cent, as the bulk of the coke
made in New Mexico is sold to copper
producers and the decrease in exports of
copper reduced the demand from the
smelters. Internal troubles in Mexico
are also partly responsible for decreased
coke production in New Mexico. The
coal production of the state in 1914 is
estimated at 4,450,O00 tons, against
370S,S06 tons in 1913.
The coal mine inspectors report for
the fiscal year ended Nov. 30 shows that
the production of Montana decreased
from 3,365,7l2 short tons in 1913 to
2,93s,67l tons in 1914. This decrease is
attributed principally to the increased
use of hydro-electric power and TO com
petition OF cheaper Goals from Wyoming,
The influence of the war in Europe has
been felt relatively more in Montana
than in some of the eastern states, on
account of the curtailment of the copper
production ESTIMATED at so per cent
that reduced the consumption by the
smelters. Lighter business by the rail
roads and mild weather in November and
December have also reduced coal con-
Wyoming's production is esti-
mated to have decreased about Z per |
cent, owing chiefly to the relatively warm
weather in the closing months Of the
year and to smaller demands from the |
railroads.
1t is difficult to estimate closely the /
effect of the strike on the coal produc-
ton of Colorado, but it is believed that |
The output for 1914 was about 100000 |
tons less than in 1913, when it amounted
to 9,232.5l0 short tons.
Utah. like Montana, suffered from the
great decrease in copper production and
Ter output Of coal is estimated to have
allen off about 10 per cent.
