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 ont. This Is called
the spread eagle.
The United States In 1855 adopted
the bald eagle, its wings displayed, as
the national emblem. You know that
sailors and soldiers always make pet
Of something and take it 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 q 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 if everything
was all right When battles were being
fought it would scream and flap its
wings as If to cheer the soldiers. 1t
seemed to understand ALI the orders
given to the men.
Once when the men were ordered to
lie on the ground it flew down and
stretched fiat beside the soldiers. When
they got up it flew to the top Of its
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 over it Travelled
all over the country and received as
much homage as a great man. A vet
eran was detailed to take care Of it and
was well paid for doing so.
The bird died in 1881, and fits skin
was stuffed and put In the state cap
itol But it was later burned In a
great fire.

cHILDREN'S CLOTHES.
What Small Folks Are Wearing
Closely Resemble Their Mothers.

Suits for little girls are after the
models shown for women. The skirts
have considerable fullness, and the
coats 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
a belt. The coats, as 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 q
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. Coats
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
a 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
sentiments. 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 eff
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 and cuffs of white. Sashes
and belts of leather, self material or
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 are
very full.

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

Than Garden Patch.
If 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 more
quickly of trees. flowers, birds and
vegetables than the planning and de-
veloping of a small garden.
OF course each child can personally
manage only a very small garden. This
can be in the form of a bed or in the
form of certain possessions at various
places in the big family garden. For
instance. you might give into one
child's keeping climbing rose over a
summer house, q dwarf evergreen in
the far corner of the shrubbery Dor
der, row of beans Ia short One) in the
vegetable garden and a little patch of
flowers in the flower border. In this
way the child has q chance uncOn-
sciously to study trees. flowers and
vegetables.
If possible, make the child interested
in all the details of garden growth. If
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
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
viii 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-vegetables, flow
ers or fruits, whatever they are. 1t Is
a mistake to give a child anything,
even a raspberry bush, unless the gift
Is free and complete.

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

1t is not a bit too soon to get ready
for summer showers. Indeed. one need

These silks are waterproof, and the

handle, and this is swung over the

Is that it may be used for sun protec-

FRESH CURTAINS.
How to Make Home Laundering
Really Effectual.
AN EXPERT SPEAKS UP.

After Twenty Years Experience with
Window Hansinss, a Professionals
Tells Us Just How to Manage Unruiy
Frames and Sopping Wet Curtains
"Many women" says an expert
"think that the proper way to mount q
curtain on 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 mistake, and cur

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.
'aThe curtain is now hanging with its
unpatterned edge falling loosely down

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 it fit over the pins,
but the puckering 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, so 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. Stretchers
which have movable pins can be per-
fectly adjusted to either large or small
scallops."

Tariff and Politics.

The tariff can be taken out of poll
tics when the protectionists cease
their agitation. The Democrats are
not literally free traders; a revenue
tariff will afford a considerable meas
ure of protection, and at present no
considerable number of persons urge
anything beyond that. If the protec-
tionists will cease their clamor for the
exclusion of foreign goods and will
allow a commission to fix duties with
reference to revenue and the costs of
production, the tariff can be taken out
of politics. But when President Taft's
tariff board made it's reports the pro-
tectionists were no better pleased
with them than with report from a
Democratic ways and means commit
tee. They did not accept the commits
sion's report in 1888. or the report of
the Mann committee on paper and

Matter to Be Reasoned.

There will be plenty of discussion
of the revenue proposals of Secretary
McAdoo; but it is likely that his plan
of pay as you go" will appeal to most
people and be accepted by congress.
The emergency that requires this
country to increase its revenue, say,
from a thousand to twelve hundred
millions of dollars year is not one
that justifies issuing bonds. The bill
lion-a-year now spent is raised without
grave imposition on anybody. To add
two hundred millions to this sum would
not be seriously noticed. So far as
concerns the country's capacity to
pay, there need be no great worries.
but there is, of course. room for dis.
agreement about the precise methods
through which money is to be pro-
duced.

Conditions That VIII Follow European

A majority of the members OF the
Republican National committee. &C.
cording to poll made by the Wash
tngton correspondent of the New York
World, believe the tariff will be the
principal issue in 1916.
To the Republican organization the
tariff Is naturally an appealing issue,
because the industries that demand
extortionate protection will be the
only source of a Republican cam
paign fund. But how much Of popu-
lar issue is the tariff likely to be, and
how sharply are the rank and file of
the two parties likely to divide?
Until the war has ended and the
belligerent nations have begun their
economic reconstruction, there can be
no intelligent revision of the tariff

and revenue needs of the United
States after the war, they would be
helpless. Senator Underwood, Speak

tariff would be equally helpless. No
body knows; nobody can know.
Before the tariff can be revised in
telligently again, the American people
will have to discard most Of their
parochial theories about imports and
face the issue frankly as great ques'
tion in world economics. The United
States is now in a position to hold a
commanding position in the worlds
