The Invitation.

Two recruits in a Scottish regimen:
were visiting an English church for
the first time. They had not been seat
ed long before the Organist began TO
play a very lively voluntary. This was
something new to them, and they
listened in establishment, not being
used to music of that sort in church.
One of them was then aroused from a
reverie by a tap on the shoulder. Turn
ing around, he saw a lady, the owner
of the pew, who smiled at him, wish
ing to pass to her seat. He did not
take in the situation. mo, no, mum ~

women,s Rights in Philippines.

Women in the Philippines, from Fill
pino to Ifugano and from Kalinga to
Moro, have n lot to say about the way
things are run.
My first realization of the different
status of Philippine womanhood came
on the Pacific steamer on which l last
returned to the United States. A young
Filipino wanted to wrestle with some
of the japanese on board. But his wife
was with him and she feared she would
lose a husband in the melee. She We
toed his desire with considerable ease
and perfect effectiveness. If she had
been a Chinese, Japanese or Indian of
the same class her husband would have
wrestled as long as he wanted to, or
could4 and the oma in the case
would have kept her mouth shut. In
the Philippines 1 have observed that
the woman holds the purse and the
gavel.-Christian Herald.

Eyeglasses for a Diver,

A new eyeglass has been patented
for the use of submarine divers. 1t is
well known that the human eye does
not function properly under water, OBJ
jects appearing badly blurred and dis
torted. This is due to the fact that the
speed of light in water is different
from the speed of light In air, and
hence the light rays enter the eye with
a different angle of refraction. The
eye, being designed for focusing rays
coming through the air, is unable to
focus rays coming through the water.

POULTRY POINTERS

Little ducks often suffer from sun
stroke unless given a reasonable
amount of shade.
If eggs are to be preserved for next
seasons use they should be put down
Immediately, if it has not been attend
ed to.
Crows are likely to steal the eggs
from the late turkey nests If the nests
are made at some distance from the
buildings.
Fowls or chicks that are confined in
yards during hot weather need a vari-
ETY. of food and plenty of fresh, tender
igreenstuff.
Although geese, both young and old,
will obtain enough food in the fields to
keep alive and well, the young will
grow faster and be more profitable if
given one good feed of grain each day.
There is no better time to build hen
houses than the present, if there is
any spare time, because houses built in
warm weather have a chance to dry
out thoroughly before cold weather
comes.

MAKING BACK PORCH USEFUL
Vines, Hammoeks and Plants, EN-.
ployed With Discretion, Turn It
Into a Cool Resting Place.

One may easily turn his back porch
to account by a little planning. To
turn the back porch into q cool rest
ing place the use Of vines and ham,
mocks and plants has proved success
full. These forms of decorations used
with discretion cool off the interior Of
the house, keeping out the heat from
the scorching asphalt streets.
Permanent wooden roofs are not
necessary for verandas and %improvised
~loggias. Awnings will easily serve this
purpose in many instances, for they
can be run up and down at every
change of the barometer and rob the
house of no sun in the winter.
So-called front piazzas, structures
that have roofs running all around the
first story Of a house and sometimes
only around one side, could have its
roof flattened, hung with awnings and
made into a lounging place for q fam
lily upstairs. A house may not pre-
sent a good appearance of itself, but
the piazza may make it the most in
teresting dwelling place on the street.
A green and white awning hung
from the roof makes a nice appear
ance. Boxes Of red and white gerani-
ums placed on the rails, fastened with
vines falling on the rail adds to the
artistic effect. Turkey-red curtains
also add charm. Stray tables, chairs,
hammocks, bird cages and flowers on
stands and big pots may be so ar
ranged as to make a comfortable

these decks his fruit and vegetables
are neatly arranged, and everything
the wagon contains is covered with
light cloth to keep off the dust and
insects.
He has a large list of regular custo-
mers among the residents of the nu-
merous small towns of his vicinity,
who buy all their fruit and vegetables
from him, because they can depend
upon getting them fresh, clean and
sound. OF course this mans trade is
mostly among women, and he leaves
nothing undone which will attract their
attention, and arouse their interest in
the cleanliness and good condition of
his product. His wagons are washed
daily, his horses well groomed, and the
harness kept clean and shiny.
Once or twice a month he buys a big
lot of sweetpeas or other flowers,
makes them up into small bouquets
and presents n to each Of his custO-
merS.
Little attentions such as these al
ways make a friend of the customer,
and this man has found that nothing
counts more in his business than this
kind of attention added to po~liteness,
and an honest desire to please the peo-
pie with whom he does business.
