The art of lavishing gold threads
upon net foundation IN so complex
and massive a manner that the finished
work looked like a coat OF mail, has
been done with higher result by the
French embroidererS than by anyone IN
this country, but this has not stopped
the demand for such work or lcssened
the efforts to initiate it by those who
can thread needle, with bit of floss
or metal TO make a design.
The frank usage of heavy gold and

Boy Locked Cop Up.

In the outlying districts Of New York
there are little block houses connected
by telephone to summon the policeman
stationed there. When protection Is
needed the cop will go to those who
call him as fast as his motorcycle will
take him, and frequently the officer
is commented for his speed, valor, COM
mon sense and kindness. Under the
circumstances 1t is but natural that
he came TO regard himself as n OF
the best cops that eve wore the uni
form. Pride, 1t will be recalled,
cometh just previous to the fall. There
Is a hasp lock on the door of the po-
lice blockhouse, and as the policeman
stood within champing Mt the delay be-
tween calls, a boy of four walked along
and locked the door on him. The win
dows of the block house are about q
foot in diameter, and as the policeman
called frantically after the little des-
perado he saw him disappear with all
the speed his legs could muster. For
two hours the mighty one waited In
the deserted section for the call that
would spoil his wonderful record Of
efficiency. 1t did not come. fortunate

Mosquito a Pestlferous Insect.

Moral philosophers, of course, mean
ing those who have more morality than
philosophy, have undertaken to explain
the purposes of mosquitoes. observes a
writer In the Providence Journal. On
the suppositious theory that nothing in
nature is without a beneficent purpose,
we used to be told learnedly that the
mosquito consumed malaria germs and
other things in the air, and so proved
himself a kind friend to nan In view
of the good thus conferred, the Incl.
dental singing done by the insect was
to be considered lightly.
People who used to talk this way
have been doing less of 1t In recent
years, having learned, perhaps, that 1t
was nonsense. 1t has been demon
strated that the mosquitoes favorite
habit Is to load up his system with poi.
son of some sort or another and then
seek out some human victim to inocu-
late. From all appearances this is the
only joy that life affords to q mosquito
and II Is oil that Is accomplished by
him during his brief lifetime, except
to provide an ample number of de-
~scendants to carry on the work.

More Wholesome Living.

1t is the cheerful custom Of our
times to urge what amounts to i'm
providence and insist that the liberal
spending of our money Is for the best,
not only for ourselves, but for every
body. Every effort to reduce living
expenses Is frowned on and considered
as a mean and undermined attack on
some industry which ought to be en-
couraged. III we do not wear gold
rings, we are not treating the gold
miners right, % are we giving the
jewelers. a fair shake In business. How
can we expect the jeweler to buy our
pork and cabbage If we do not buy
his gold rings? We are hurried on to
make more that we may spend more
with others, 20 that they may spend
more, and so on, and so On.
There is no end to this sort of thing,
and there is no health In this kind of
hectic existence. The principle Of
making more that we may spend 1t
faster Is not a worthy basis for our
philosophy.
A little economy would be a whole
some thing for all of us and would
help amazingly In the matter Of the
high cost of living.-Idaho Farmer.

AGE OF THE CONCORD GRAPE
Oldest Vine In Existence Is Less Than
Seventy Years oid-catawba Is
Fifty Years Older.

Some things seem to have existed
from the beginning of time, simply be-
cause we have always been accus-
toned to seeing them. One OF these is
the Concord grape. This grape is prob
ably more largely grown in America
than any other variety, though its pre-
dominance is of comparatively recent
date. The oldest Concord grape vine
In existence is much younger than
many persons now living. 1t is, In
fact, less than seventy years old. The
catawba grape is nearly fifty years
older, but IL never attained to the Con-
cords popularity. The grape, how
ever, is not an isolated case. When
we begin to inquire into the history
of almost any of our varieties of fruit,
we find that all are of comparatively
recent origin. The varieties I'm culti-
walton one hundred years ago were
seldom up to the standards we hold at
present. Probably the fruits, of an
other generation will in their turn ex-
Gel those which we regard so highly

pearance will be inherent In the house.
1t would, therefore, defeat the purpose
of the design to build such a house on
land considerably higher than the sur
rounding ground. On the other ex-
IRENE, no house, not even a bungalow,
looks well when it is given a squatty
appearance by its surroundings. Aside
from the appearance, there is also the
danger Of poor drainage when the
ground upon which the house is built
has no slope whatever.
The house under consideration, then,
when built upon the average 50-foot
lot, should have grade at the house es-
tablished not more than two feet above
the street sidewalk level, IL the lawn
is to be sloped down from the house
TO the sidewalk. By the S of a ter
raced lawn II is possible to obtain the
desired appearance when the house
grade Is considerably above this dis
lance with respect to the street side
walk. The bungalow does not look
well too near the street. The nearer
the back of the lot the better, unless
the houses already built on the street
make this location undesirable.

MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR CALF
Many Experiment Stations Glad to
Furnish Farmer With Formula
Care at WEAVING Time.

The calf raising season Is now here.
and with the present high prices of
milk and veal, and the increasing
value of both dairy and beef cattle,
we cannot impress upon our readers
too pointedly the advantages of using
a milk substitute in raising their
calves. t
There are some excellent milk sub
~stitutes on the market and, If a farmer
wishes to make one himself, there are
many of the experiment stations that
will be glad to furnish him with vari-
Gus formulas for so doing.
1t has been proved time and time
again that while the results secured
from milk substitutes are not as cas-
lily obtained as those produced by a
milk ration, If proper IRE is taken
after weaving time, the final develop
ment of the heifer raised upon the
best milk substitutes will be almost
equal to the milk-fed individual

SHERMAN RETURNS HORSE
Taken In March to the Sea, She Was
Too Much Of a Pet for Him to
Keep From Owner.

General Sherman was with the main
body of his troops, which marched d.
rectly through ny g~randfather's PLAN
tation.
Several days before the soldiers ar
rived my grandfather went to Sa-
vannah on business. His seven sons
and his two sons-in-law were lighting
for the Confederacy. Only my grand
mother, one of my aunts and the ne
gro servants were ut home.
Fortunately, General Sherman led
the troops that come to u house that
day. His army was 'living off the
country" and they took most of our
chickens, cattle and hogs for food, APP
propriated what horses and fodder
they needed and helped themselves to
whatever was growing in the fields
that was fit to eat; but there were
none Of the cruelties and insults Of
which irresponsible bands of foragers
were often guilty. General Sherman
appeared the courteous gentleman who
was performing a disagreeable duty.
Among the horses his men took from
my gr~andfather's house was Bess-
the big black mare that he had raised
himself, trained for his own saddle
horse and loved and petted like a child.
General Sherman took a fancy to Bess,
and he himself rode her away.
When grandfather returned and
found what had happened, nothing
hurt him so much as the loss Of Bess.
Scarcely waiting to see how complete
ly the place had been stripped. he
mounted an old horse, the only n he
had left, and started after General
Sherman's troops. The federal sol
diers laughed at him and his mount
when he came up with them, but he
paid no heed he was bent on
ing his favorite horse.
When he presented himself to the
general. my grandfather was q good
deal surprised at the kindness and
consideration with which he was re-
ceived.
General Sherman" he began, 81
cannot give up my horse; she is like
a child to me. My children are grown
up now, and I have taken almost as
much care in raising and training her
as 1. ever did with one of them. She
knows my call, and will come to me
when she hears me. She Is yours by
right of war, but / will pay you for
her. I cannot pay you much now, but
I will give you all that l can possibly
spare"
NO." said Sherman. Il believe
what you say. When / was riding her
away she whinnied and tried to turn
back again and again. Come out here
and let me hear you CALL"
At hat grandfather gave a loud,
warbling whistle, and almost Instantly
came the answer-a glad whinny.
General Sherman ordered Bess sad
died and he put her bride rein into
my grandfather's hand and babe him

Alley preae Trap.

safely till the shaking is over, and
then returned to the frames. The
drones may safely be fed to chickens,
as they have no stings.
A simpler, less troublesome method
is to use q trap such as shown here
with. The. lower part is open freely
at Its rear to the entrance of the hive.
The front Incorrectly drawn) con-
sists Of parallel Stats or wires be-
tween which the worker bees can pass
freely. The drones cannot so escape,
but make their way upward through
cones of wire cloth into the upper
part of the trap. The cones are open
at their apices, which reach nearly to
the top of the trap. Very few drones
have sense enough to find their way
back into the hive. Any workers that
chance to get into the trap can easily
escape. 1t is not likely the Queen will
get in the trap unless at swarming
time. .-s.
The best time to use the trap Is be-
tween nine and four o'clock in warm,
sunny weather when the drones feel
like flying. Unless 1t Is desired to
carry the drones to some other yard,
the upper part of the trap need not be
used. The cones will be sufficient, as
the drones will huddle outside the hive
until removed for chicken feed or for
destruction.-Orange Judd Farmer.
