INDIVIDUALITY AS A FACTOR
impossible to Separate What Is, and
Must Be, the Part of Mans
Own Being.

Any attempt to define the ultimate
spirit Of the individual seems doomed
to failure.
There Is a saying Of Bishop But
ler's which might we'll be recommend
ed to the philosopher: Everything is
what it is. and not another thing"
So individuality Is simply individ-
uality; and the attempt to discover
some further meaning for the word
can only lead to error.
We might be tempted, for instance,
to suggest that a mans true ego Is
nothing more than his character.
But individuality goes deeper even
than character.
Character changes; the individual
remains the same.
Thus a man who In his youth is hon.
est may meet with temptations that
make him thief; so, too, the senti-
mentalist may become cynic.
The changing character is no more
than a manifestation of the individ-
uality beneath.

1t all looks. however, as If the d.
vldlng line, wherever it may be
placed. will not really divide any
thing. The separate bodice will have
so many enemies allied against 1t
that 1t may surrender its first place
and be considered only as substi-
tute in time of need.
The first question an American
woman asks is how she can be COM
portable In our super-heated houses
when she wears a waist of cloth, but
the answer to this is that the de-
s1gners will obviate that discomfort
by putting in thin sleeves and yoke.

TIPS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Suitable and Tasteful Luncheon Deco
ration-Easy Method of Cleaning
Brown Suede Shoes.

A simple but tasteful form of deco
ration for a daisy luncheon may con-
sist of crystal vase in the center
of the table filed with daisies and
baskets of daisies at each corner.
Ox-eyed daisies, which come later In
the summer, may be used effectively
for a luncheon table decoration. In
the center of round table, arranged
to seat eight people. place mound Of
daisies and mountain ferns and have
a rope of daisies running from each
plate to the center. The ends Of the
rope may be hidden in the mound.
To clean brown suede shoes or slip
pers rub them well with an old tooth
brush dipped in gasoline or benzine.
This removes soil and also restores
the velvety look of newness. Black
suede shoes can be revived with fine
charcoal dust brushed with an old
tooth brush, SO that it removes the
gray look, but does not leave any
loose dust

ing every month; but by planting diff
ferent varieties some of them may be
kept blooming nearly the entire sum-
mer. The daisy is really not domes-
ticated flower, as great many low
growing wild flowers are called daisies.
Many varieties are classed as weeds.
In fact, the ox-eyed daisy, which Is
plentiful all through New England and
some of the northern states, Is called
white-weed.
The chrysanthemums and wild as
ters are called daisies and really be-
long to the same family.
While it would not be possible per-
haps to have daisy hedge in bloom
all the year, still by planting the vari-
Gus species Of daisies, chrysanthe-
NUNS and asters some bloom could
be had from April to November.

LAUNDRY MARKS THAT LAST
Inks Containing Silver Are Among
the Most Serviceable for the
Purpose.

Marking inks containing silver are
perhaps the most serviceable When
one is out of a good silver ink, an
ordinary copying or indelible pencil
can be made to serve temporarily To
use copying pencil, the color OF
which is due to dye, prepare solu-
ton of alum, one ounce to pint of
water; soak the parts to be marked
in the alum solution for half an hour;
transfer the goods, without wringing
or drying, to a bath containing about
a tablespoonful of ammonia water to
a pint of water; soak the goods in
this bath fifteen minutes; remove.
and allow to partially dry; while still
moist write the desired letters or
words on the goods with blunt copy
ing pencil; allow to completely dry.
and the marks will stand two or three
washings before they entirely fade.
Still better results may be obtained,
using copying pencil, by soaking a
piece of linen in a strong, hot tannin
solution for about an hour; cool for
about two hours, remove the goods,
and without drying mark initials or
words as often as desired over the
piece of linen, then place it in warm
bath containing one-fourth ounce Of
tartar emetic to the pint Of water. add
a pinch of baking soda, let remain
for about ten minutes, remove and
wash thoroughly in cold water. When
dry, the marks can be cut apart and
sewed on the garments similar to
woven marks. Prepared in this way,
the marks are quite fast.-C. E. Vail,
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort
Collins, Colo.

DAISIES EVERY MONTH IN
YEAR

In the mild climate of California and
some of the southern states, daisies
bloom all the year around.
In California these flowers grow
very much larger than those of the
East, as do all Pacific coast flowers;
but they seem to lack brilliancy, and
to many persons are not as satisfac-
tory.
Luther Burbank developed the Shas-
ia daisy to very large and beautiful
flower and this is largely taking the
place Of the Marguerite or Paris daisy
which has long been a favorite with
Californians.
In the colder climates, of course, it

AMONG THE FLOWERS

If the seed is allowed to develop on
the lilac it generally has few flowers
except every other year.
The best way to kill weeds now is
to pull them up by hand.
An excellent spray for the rose
bushes is made of one-half pound of
laundry soap melted in hot water, to
which is added one cupful of kerosene.
When this comes to boil, use about
one part to fifteen parts of water.
Scrape up the road dust and apply
about the roots of your plants dur
ing the hot, droughty weather, and
keep the moisture in the soil.
Lawn clippings make an excellent
mulch for the larger plants and
shrubs.

Wedding Ring Always Used.

Wedding Ring Always Used.
Wedding customs have varied with
changing periods but the wedding ring
has always been used. Its earliest
form was iron, then, in turn, copper,
brass, leather, sedge and adamant;
and. after this, the precious metals.
The first record of its use is in Gen.
esis L. The old Gimmal ring was
cunningly fitted in two sections, so
that one went to the bride and the
other to the bridegroom; and 1t is
often copied for modern brides.

THEATERs EAST AND WEST
Oriental Places Of Amusement Have
Their Customs, as Have Those
Of the Occident.

Oriental visitors to our theaters
think the performances very ludi-
crous, even if tragedy is being en-
acted. We reciprocate by thinking
that Chinese and japanese theaters
are run by crazy people, the customs,
are so very peculiar.
In Japanese theaters a singular
custom prevails Of allowing a visitor,
for small fee, to stand up, and the
unfortunate individual behind him
has no right to demonstrate or to
rise and try to get a peep at tho
stage. He may hear, but he cannot
see.
Another popularity is that the ex-
travagantly disposed visitor may
purchase the right to sit upon the
stage wherever he likes, and the ac-
tors go on with their parts in appar-
ent Inconsistencies Of his presence.
1t is not an unusual spectacle to
see a broadsword combat fought al
around a visitor, who coolly enjoy,

SELECTING GOOD DAIRY cow
Professor Hacker Makes interesting
Statement Before Eastern ConVen-
tion-Some Good Records.

Here Is q statement made by Prof.
T. L. Hacker at an eastern con-
vention that will bear re-reading: Il
am going to tell you how to know
a good COW. It's a simple matter.
One or two signs tell a good COW,
as well as twenty In a poor COW
the thigh runs down straight, so
there is no place between the thigh
and the udder on one side and the tail
on the other. There should be plenty
of daylight between the udder and
the tail. One of the best ways to tell
what kind of a COW you have is by
her temperament. A good dairy type
has sharp spine. strongly developed
nervous system and sharp hip bones.
A good COW has large wedge shaped
stomach, for she must have a large
and powerful digestive system to use
up her food quickly. and make the
best returns for 1t. Some of the ami
mails the first year made but little
over 200 pounds per COW, while 9TH
ers gave over 399 pounds. We have
kept this record every year and the
last year our cows averaged 399
pounds per COW, and at a cost OF only
AZ cents per pound of butter for feed.
One COW gave us 512 pounds during
the year. These were not picked,
high priced dairy cows, but the com.
mon run Of dairy stock"
