How German Army Horses Are Dyed.

Because Of the shortage of horses In
Germany 1t has been found expedient
to dye white and dappled horses a
field-gray, as already noted In Popular
Mechanics Magazine, thereby giving
them the same protective colorlng as
the soldiers uniforms and milking
them available for military purposes.
The coloring when first applied gives
the horse violet hue, which later
changes into greenlsh-brOwn by reason
of the chemical action Of the sweat
retained In the hair. A stan apothe-
cary Of the German army has found
that the best dye Is a per cent solu-
ton of permanganate OF potassium.
This is applied to the head, legs, and
upper part Of the body with brush
and to the more sensitive parts with
sponge. The coioring is permanent,
harmless, and costs about 80 cents per
horse.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

near Eighth and Main streets.
There being no disputing the fact
that the hair did reach her knees, the
pawnbroker rejolned Us best he could
with the counter statement, equally
apparent, that Miss Dare was fur
from being tall young woman. True,
II was nice hair but true, also, 50

The snake has two fangs, each about

WITH PROPER USE OF PAINT
Ycranda May Be Made Most Comfort
able Resting Place II a Little
Chintx Is Added.

You women who live in the country
and a bolt of pretty chintz will do
much to transform your porch furni.
ture, says the New York Telegraph. II
you have no comfortable chairs for
piazza use, do buy one or two. They
need not be expensive pieces, but be
sure they are comfortable and have
pretty lines.
The wicker or reed furniture is real.
ly the most attractive for verandas
and 1t Is not at all expensive.
You need not worry IL you have two
or three pieces of one kind and cou'
pie of pieces of another variety. After
you have given them all coat Of the
same paint and made chintz-cushionn
seats and backs for them, they Will
look enough alike to fool any casual
eye. Besides, no one expects rigid for
mnlity In porch decorations.
II your house Is white or gray you
will find that green porch furniture
will look best. Give all the chairs, tn.
bles and settees a coat Of green paint
and one Of green enamel paint. The
chintz for green furniture should con-
trast with 1t, and figure with good
deal Of red in 1t will be found most
effective.
1t may be wisest to have a cheap
upholsterer make the seat cushions
and backs II you are afraid to tackle
so tricky a Job. Have them made with
some white goods as a cover. Then
you can yourself make slip covers Of
the chintz for them. The reason why
it Is better not to have the chintz put
right ON as the first cover of the cush-
ions. Is because 1t may soil very quiOb-
ly, being where the street dust can
easily reach 1t. II the chintz Is made
into slip covers they can be removed
and washed when soiled.
II your house Is any other color ex-
cept white or gray, brown porch furni-
ture Is prettiest. So you can paint your
furnishings brown and use almost any
gayly colored, pretty bright chintz for
cushions.

CALLED GATE OF THE SAHARA
City OF Trlpoli Is for Many Reasons
Well Worth Vioi' From the
Traveller.

Trlpol Is the last of the great old
trading ports where the desert meets
the sea. She is the hub Of sprawllng

routes striking through the great
Sahara and shipping lines that radl-
ate over the Mediterranean.
Ships steam into the harbor eau
tiously. feeling their way behind the
protecting crescent headland that
shuts out gales from the north, for
the water Is shallow and studded
with sand bars To the right the old
city rises from the waters edge In
series Of green terraces. where the
homes Of the wealthy stand In their
gardens. To the left Is the Moham-

sit or stand by their stacked wares
and barter after the custom Of the
immemorial East, where time Ia no OBJ

sundry one Of the pleasures Of life.
Tripoli has two Of the finest mosques
in Africa, but the admission Of Chris
tiaus Is not encouraged. 1t is worth
all the trouble, however, and all the
black looks you will get from the
loungers at the gateways to see the
Grand Mosque. 1t Is arranged with

New England chsstnuts Doomed.

winds. 1t has already overrun five
counties and has established centers

be severe. No more farmers will send
their boys and girls to college. winter
by winter from the sale of ties and
planks and posts from the rapidly
growing stands of straight chestnuts.
But the sentimental loss will entail
even more regret. The chestnut tree,
like Its close cousin, the beech and the
oak, has made Its own place In our
rugged New England life. II enters
our stories and poems and fireside talk
as olive and palm enter the legends

Music Was Upside Down.

Laughter trlckled through the au-
ditorium Of the First Christian church
at Alexandria during a program given
by the children Of the church. One
little girl who was very anxious to fill
her part on the program wished every
body to know that she had learned
her music well and when playing on
the piano she frequently turned from
side to side to look at the audience.
When about half way through the
number she stopped with reluctance.
She had forgotten part Of the piano
number, and on close observation dis.
covered that the music sheet was up
side down on the music rack. While
the audience waited the little girl
turned the sheet.-Indlanapolls News.

How They Save.

Every Is minutes somebody walks
into one Of our four large savings
banks and opens n new account.
That has been going on for weeks,
months and years, until now there are
over 100000 different accounts. The
average amount of money kept in bank
by each depositor is only a little less
than $500.
Our thrifty folk have the saving
habit. Every minute of every day they
lay aside S25 TO put In the savings

Legend Of the French poppy.

During the early stages OF the pres
ent war strange phenomenon on the
battlehelds of northern France was
the abundance Of peoples, all the roads
being bordered by large tracts OF the
red flowers, which gave the impression
that the bloodshed there had come
forth to the surface once more. In
any case this is the popular belief
among the peasants OF the districts
where battles ragged only some
months ago; but the real explanation
Is that the poppy Is the companion

petite Grace. She RULED at the thought

were not engaged, but Of all the eligi.
BILE young men OF the village he had
the most fully attracted her.
Paul had admired her from the first
day he had seen her, and had told her
SO. More recently he had insisted that
they were made for one another. and
that he was gathering up the evidence
to prove It to her! She liked his
bright breezy ways.
Grace was on two months visit to
her cousin. Norma Ellis. The pre-
scribed period had nearly passed. That
evening there was a party at q villa
two miles away. Paul had promised to
call for her at seven O'Clock. She pre-
ferred to go on foot. she had told him.
Now she sat on the porch awaiting the
arrival Of her expected escort.
The clock. inside the house struck
seven, then the quarter. Grace began
to grow impatient Half past. A dainty
foot began to tap the porch floor faster
and faster. She darted look town
ward full Of real temper. She sprang
to her feet quite angrily as the clock
announced that Paul Leslie was forty
five minutes late.
How dare he!" she Jared out. "Oh.
I could almost scratch him!"
Then she jumped back into her seat,
affecting in her pose the utmost indif-
ference to everything In the world
save the most intense enjoyment Of
rest and the soft perfumed evening air.
She had seen q white-garbed mascu-
line form coming down the road.
