Every Bird and Beast Makes
A Noise That's All Its Own.

II a complete list could be made of
the distinctive names by which the
noises produced by birds and beasts
are called, 1t would be found that there
are few duplicates. We may judge this
even by the most common, says an ex-
change. The horse neighs, the sheep
bleats, the cow lows, the pig grunts
and squeals, the turkey gobbles, the
hen cackles, the cock crows, the goose
Kisses, the duck quacks, the cat news,
the dog banks, the wolf bowls, the lion
roars, the bull bellows, the sparrow
chirps, the pigeon COOS, the frog croaks,
the rock caws, the monkey chatters,
the elephant trumpets, the camel
grunts, the stag calls, the rabbit
screams-only when wounded, the dom
key brays, the bee huns, the fly buzzes,
the grasshopper chirrups. the swallow
twitters, the chick peeps, the hound
bays and the owl boots.
Perhaps the best word for the sound
a cricket makes is used by Tennyson.
"Not a cricket chirr'd," he writes in
I'm Memoriam," although the word
would fit the grasshopper better per-
haps. Tennyson prided himself on his
exact word for the noises made by bird
and beast. Thus he speaks of the
moan of doves" the robins "pipe,"
the w%oodpecker's laugh" the curlew's
whistle" the jays 'scritch," the par
rot's scream" the peacock's "squall,'
the ocean-fowl's "shriek," and the
eagles "yelp."

Woman Who Gives New Life
To Old Clothes Is Aiding
In Conservation Movement.

In these times when there Is a short
age not only of food materials, but also
of textile stuffs, the woman who can
clothe herself and her family at a
minimum expense is doing her bit"
lust as much as the IN whose
garbage can fills slowly or the nan
who makes two potatoes grow where
none grew before, declares Beryl Dix
on, of the Colorado State Agricultural
college.
Many articles of clothing that In or
binary times would be discarded with
out a second thought may, with a lit
tie care, be freshened up and made to
serve another period of usefulness.
Wooden goods may be satisfactorily
cleansed by washing In warm water
with soap solution or soap bark. Soap
bark is prepared for use by letting Ave
cents worth stand In two quarts of
water for an hour and then straining it
into lukewarm water in which the
material is to be washed. Water Of
the same temperature should be used
for both washing and rinsing. Press
woolens when almost dry, on the wrong
side, with a warm iron.
Most grease spots may be removed
with naphtha soap and warm water.
Chemical or dry cleaning will remove
grease spots by dissolving the fat. The
cleaning liquid may be ether, chloro-
form, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline,
naphtha OF benzine. The last three
should be used In the open air II pos
sibla. They must be used away from
q fire or a flame Of any kind.
On silks or satins, rub the grease
spot with a thin paste made Of benzine
and carbonate of magnesia. The ben
Zine ~evaporates and the magnesia will
absorb the grease and can be brushed
on. Very often dry French chalk or
powdered magnesia alone will absorb
the grease, several applications some
times being necessary. A warm iron
and blotting paper will remove some
grease spots.

One Might While Away Idle
Hours Reading One of These.

Which is the longest poem In the
world? One generally regards para
disc Lost" as pretty lengthy, and
Thomson's Seasons and Cowper's
Task" But these are short compared
with Sponsors "Faerie Queene," which
is easily the longest poem in existence,
even as it stands, and had he attained
his object and reached the twenty
fourth book, no other poem would have
been "in it."
1t is only a quarter of the original
plan, yet it is as long as the Iliad, the
Odyssey, and the Aeneid put together,
twice as long as Dante's "Divina Com
media" and three times as long as
Paradise Lost" and paradise Re
gained" in one.
The longest novel in the world be-
longs to Japan. Its author Is Kiong TIE
Bakin. 1t was commenced Ia 1852, and
published volume by volume as 1t came
out over a period of fifty years. There
are 106 volumes, 100000 pages, $780,
600 lines, and about 100000 words.
A complete copy weighs 100 pounds.
