Kitchen Helps.

In order to keep lettuce fresh for an
indefinite time put the head in glass
containing water and place it in the
icebox or some other cool, dark place.
The roots will absorb the water, which
should be changed daily, and keep the
lettuce fresh and crisp.
If you would save your hands from
unsightly vegetable stains always peel
or scrape potatoes, turnips, ETC., under
warm running water.
When your grocer sends you hard
lemons and you want them for immedf-
ate use let them stand for q few hours
in water, and they will soon become
soft and juicy.
A home "cold storage" for eggs may
be made by placing two inches of wood
ashes in the bottom of a tin pail. In
this stand on the small end as many
fresh eggs as will fit easily without
letting them touch. Over these sift a
couple OF inches Of ashes and adjust
another layer of eggs. When the pail
Is full cover it tightly and place In a
cool place, and the eggs will keep per-
fectly for an indefinite time.

LET THE CHILDREN DIG.
Nothing Pleases Small Ones Better
Than a Garden Patch.

II you live out OF town or spend
your summers there. let your children
study nature first hand in their own
gardens. Nothing will teach them moro
quickly OF trees. flowers, birds and
vegetables than the planning and de-
veloping of a small garden.
OF course each child can personally
can be In the form of a bed or In de
form Of certain possessions at varioAs
places In the big family garden. Fec
instance. you might give into enc
child's keeping climbing rose over q
summer house. a dwarf evergreen In
the far corner of the shrubbery Dor
der, a row of beans "a short one) In the
vegetable garden and little patch OF
flowers in the flower border. In this
way the child has a chance uncoo-
sciously to study trees. flowers and
vegetables.
II possible, make the child interested
In all the details of garden growth. IL
the child can sketch let him sketch
leaves and flowers and roots, seeds and
seed pods and all the other parts Of the
plants he works with. Let him keep q
little notebook for his sketches. With
out doubt they will prove so interesting
as he collects them that they will form
the nucleus of an interesting lot of
sketches, which he will refer to even
when winter has made gardening i'm
possible.
Buy a bird house or two for the
child's garden. BY watching the chance
Inhabitants who occupy it from year to
year he will become familiar with
birds, for his interest in one pair will
lead to an interest in all birds.
Perhaps an interesting book or two
will stimulate the child's desire to gar
den. There are children's bird books
and gardening BOOKS and simple guides
Of all sorts. Then there are botany
books, fascinating when mastered In
the open, but rather dry work to most
children indoors.
Let the child have possession Of the
fruits Of his garden-vegetabl flow
ers or fruits, whatever they are. 1t is
mistake to give a child anything,
even a raspberry bush, unless the gift
is free and complete.

FRESH CURTAINS.
How to Make Home Laundering
Really Effectua
AN EXPERT SPEAKS Up.

After Twenty Years Experience Wsts
Window Hansinss, q Profsssioaas
Tells Us Just How to Manage unruiy
Frames and Soppins Wet Curtains
MANY women" says an expert,
-think that the proper way to mount q
curtain on a stretcher is to first fasten
down each Of the four corners and then
to stretch the edges into shape by pull
ing from the corners.
'"This Is entirely a mistake, and cur
tains mounted In this way are almost
sure to have the mesh broken or torn
In several places, even If the pattern
and the scalloped edges dry to look
straight and even.
"In mounting a lace curtain over q
stretcher, one should always begin at
the middle point Of the long border
edge. Slip this over the pin at the CEN
ter on the top edge Of the frame; then,
working from the center, first to the
right and then to the left, slip the sue
cessive scallops over pins until the en-
tire long border edge is attached to the
pins on the upper bar Of the frame
"The curtain Is now hanging with its
unpatterned edge falling loosely down
ward. The next step is to attach the
bottom end of the curtain to the frame
pins. This usually has the same Dor
der as the long, patterned edge. In fas-
tening it to the stretcher work down
ward from one of the top corners until
you have all the patterned edge at
tached to the pins.
"Now notice how many inches on the
top bar of the frame are covered by the
long border edge and how many inches
at the side and then adjust the remain
ing two sides Of the frame to CORE
spond exactly in the number Of inches.
Fasten the other short edge Of the cur
tain, which will be the top edge when
hung, and lastly fasten the other long
edge to the frame pins.
1.-THE last edge may have to be puck
cred little to make 1t fit over the pins,
but the pickering will not show when
the curtains are dry, and, what Is more
to the point, the edge will not pull
down after it is dry.
zone other thing that should be en-
phasized is that the long border or pat
termed edge OF lace curtains should al
ways be dried at the top Of the frame.
Removing the curtains from the stretch
er after they are dry requires some
care. One should not try to take the
edges from the pins until the frame
has been sufficiently loosened, 50 that
there will be no strain on the delicate
mesh; otherwise threads are almost
sure to be strained and broken.
"a curtain stretcher to be entirely
satisfactory should have movable pins
and should be made Of well seasoned
wood. Stretchers having stationary
pins may or may not have the pins
placed at intervals which will match
the scallops in the particular curtains
one wishes to clean, and unless they
happen to match exactly the size of the
scallops it is not possible to dry the
scallops in good shape. Stretches
which have movable pins can be per-
fectly adjusted to either large or small
scallops."

The Common Hen.

When you come right down to nat
ural history facts there Is no beast or
bird about which boy or girl knows
more than about the common barnyard
hen, which is a very Industrious indi-
viduaL But there may be some boys
and girls who do not know that the
hen and her male companion, the roost-
er, came originally from Asia. In
the jungles of India they used to roam
wild and were great fighters. When
a couple of them engaged in battle the
one that was victorious would shout It
out with loud Growing.
There is also a negro variety that
has not only black feathers, but a
black skin.
You no doubt have seen the Cochins
that came originally from China, and
you may have heard or read that the
Greeks and Romans and the Egyptians
thought great deal of the hen.

cHILDREH's CLOTHES.
Whak Small Felix's Are WearsS
Closely Resemble Their MothsrS.

sa1ts for little girls are after the
models shown for women. The skirts
have considerable fullness, and The
esats are inclined to ripple below the
waist line. Some very attractive suits
for children are made with skirts Of
broken checks and coats Of serge IN
solid color. They have suspenders at
tached to the skirt or are finished with
q belt. The coats, as a rule, are loose
and belted and Of hip length Belts
which encircle the waist or belted back
styles with pockets on either the skirt
or coat, and buttons fastening the front
Of the skirt, are especially good look
ing.
Children's skirts are usually cut CIR
cular and have considerable flare at
the foot, fitting fairly close over the
hips. The coats are finished with
coat collar and lapels, and some are
made In Norfolk styles.
There are many variations in trim
mings. Buttons are used profusely and
In novel ways. A number Of suits In
solid color have collar and cuffs Of blue
and white polka dotted silk or Of green
satin piped with white.
Coats of shepherd checks are some
times trimmed with black satin in
bands at the foot, and the collars and
cuffs are also of satin. Little coats Of
light blue silk poplin are shocked on
either side of the front and In the cen
ter of the back. The blue collar and
cuffs are embroidered in white. Goats
have girdles of ribbon tied loosely
around the waist, ending in a loose
knot on the side. A little coat Of two
toned corduroy in brown and white Is
made with a f1ared skirt, piped at the
waist line and on the collar and cuffs.
Black and white and blue and white
corduroy coats are also seen.
The little MILDLY dresses, the Russian
blouse, the one piece dress Joined with
q belt, the coat and Norfolk styles and
the little suspender dresses worn with
guimpes, as well as the short wasted
effects, are all seen in attractive as
SortmentS. Some dresses hang In loose
lines from the shoulders and are trim
med with shocking
The majority of sleeves are made In
the set in effect, but there are also
sleeves with low shoulder, the bishop
sleeve and also those with a flare ef
feet.
Ginghams. percales, linens, reps and
lawns are the prominent wash mate
rails. Plain and fancy materials are
frequently combined in the making.
Colored dresses are often trimmed
with collars anC cuffs of white. Sashes
and belts of leather, self material OF
silk are used. White dresses, with
sashes of color, with the waist line low,
normal or slightly raised, are in many
attractive styles. The little skirts arc
very full.

FOR SUMMER SHOWERS.
Gay Umbrellas Are Appearing Citoe
Broken Off Bits of Rainbows.

Gay Umbrellas Are Appearing Lilo
Broken Off Bits of Rainbows.
1t is not a bit too soon to get ready
for summer showers. Indeed. one need
not regret the gentle downpour If she
Is provided with one of the new UNI
brellas made of silk taffeta in green,
blue, burgundy, prelate. orchid, dull
yellow or African brown. The color
choice Is broad, so that the costume or
the salient tone thereof may be
matched.
These silks are waterproof, and the
color looks no worse after its summer
bath. The handles are quite short and
are said to be copied from the stick Of
the British or French officer. There Is
no handle in the usual sense Of the
word, but instead there is heavy cord
loop run through a perforation in the
handle, and this is swung over the
wrist.
One advantage of the new umbrella
Is that it may he used for sun protec-
ton quite as well as for the rain de-
Tense. One feels less foolish starting
out in the morning under q cloud, as
it were, umbrella in hand or raised
above the head. and finding herself
equally prepared when the sun unex-
pectedly pierces the clouds later in the
day. Moreover. the gay color seems to
anticipate the appearance of the rain
bow.

AN AMERICAN EAGLE.

The eagle has always been the en-
blem Of power and courage. 1t is pic
tured in many ways, the most popular
way being spread out This is called
the spread eagle.
The United States In 17S5 adopted
the bald eagle, its wings displayed, as
the national emblem. You know that
sailors and soldiers always make pet
of something and take 1t with them on
their trips. Well, in the civil war the
Wisconsin soldiers took with them as
their mascot young eagle
1t is very hard to get an eagle from
its nest, for the nests are usually very
high up and in lonely places. An In
dian once managed to steal a very
young eagle from its nest, and he sold
it to a soldier. The soldier named it
ABE" for he intended to present the
bird to Abraham Lincoln when the war
closed. The soldiers all made a great
fuss over this bird. At mastering in
they decorated him with red, white and
blue ribbons, tying the colors around
its neck and putting an immense
rosette on its breast. The color bearer,
the tallest man In the regiment, car
ried "Abe" on a staff, which was placed
a little above the colors.
When any orders were given the col
ors and the eagle were always first In
place. 1t would sit very still and look
from side to side to see IL everything
was all right. When battles were being
fought it would scream and flap its
wings as II to cheer the soldiers. It
seemed to understand all the orders
given to the men.
Once when the men were ordered to
lie on the ground It dew down and
stretched fat beside the soldiers. When
they got up it flew to the top OF fits
perch again, SO the story goes.
1t went through twenty-five battles
and thirty skirmishes and was wound
ed three times.
When the war was ever It travelled
all over the country and received as
much homage as q great man. A vet
eran was detailed to take care Of 1t and
was well paid for doing SO.
The bird died In 1881, and IT'S skin
was stuffed and put In the state cap
ftol But it was later burned In q
great fire.

On Ironinq Day,

One will find it great help on iron
ing day to have a goodly supply Of
clothes hangers at hand. As soon as a
garment is ironed slip it over a hanger.
Each hanger will hold a number of the

the clothes away all that Is necessary
Is to place the hangers in the closet
In this way many pieces do not have
to be handled twice and wrinkled
clothes are avoided.
