MILITARY STYLES.
How Blue Serge and Khaki
Are In the Front Row.

The shops have blossomed forth with
military fashions.
Just where they got all the red, white
and blue bedecked garments nobody
knows. OF course it was a compare
lively easy matter for some energetic
manufacturer to have strips of the three
nations colors stitched to lot Of silk
gloves or for another to have red, white
and blue pipings added to an almost
finished batch Of organdie neckwear.
But where did all the military frocks
and capes come from?
They are here, anyway, and they are
very attractive. There are khaki shirts
that would be admirable for the woman
who intends to do her part in the farm
Ing world this summer. They are deco
rated with shields and other insignia in
the national colors on the pockets.
There are all sorts Of capes with mill
tary look. Some Of them are braided;
some are trimmed generously with brass
buttons. There are blue serge frocks
that almost set one. cheering, they so
suggest a military parade. And so it
goes.
We all remember that when the
world war began Paris launched a
few military styles. They were accept
ed at first with enthusiasm, but later
on other styles superseded them. Per-
haps with all the world at war Paris
can find permanent use for military in

THE ARTFUL DONKEY.

Once upon q time there lived In 6
field near q fine jungle where many
lions made their home a little gray
donkey.
Now, this donkey was not satisfied
with being just a donkey and drawing
his masters little cart Of vegetables
to market and enjoying a comfortable
home and nice meals.
Neddy wanted to be a lion, and he
tried to initiate the air and walk Of q
lion he had once seen. He fancied that
his bray sounded like lions roar. AL
the farmyard animals laughed at him
which made him very cross.
One day a hunter who had shot lion
stopped at his masters house with the
lion skin. While the stranger was al
dinner Neddy stole out to where the
skin lay and slipped into it Then he
ran off toward the forest, frightening
foolish hens and geese and amazing
the more sensible animals.
When he reached the edge Of the
fields he met the old black sheep who
led his masters f1ocks.
"G-r-r-r-u-ur brayed the donkey.
The sheep laughed.
Near the woods he met Mr.. Fox.
"Why, it's that stupid old donkey
that brays whenever I come about the
farmhouse at night. What's he doing
running around In the skin Of old
Leo" Mr.. Fox said to himself.
Leo was the old lion which had been
shot by the hunter. His relatives in
the forest were very angry about his
death.
"G-r-r-r-u-u?' brayed the donkey.
"Ah, good evening, Mr.. Leo" the fox
said slyly.
The donkey was greatly pleased.
"Glad to meet you, sir" replied the
donkey.
'There are some Of your relations
over there looking for you," the fox
went on, thinking that the donkey
would turn and run home.
But the foolish donkey was so sure
that the lions would gladly welcome
him and never suspect that he was not
one Of themselves that he went trot-
ting of toward brook where some Of
the animals were drinking.
'There he comes, the monster, dress
ed in my poor, dear husbands skinw
roared Mrs. Leo, and she made leap
that landed her on the donkey's neck.
That was all The next day the
who went out to hunt for Ned
dy, found the lions skin behind the
donkey's skin In the woods.

Farragut in the great fight Of Mobile
bay, Mrs. Anderson comes Of distin-
guished ancestry. Her marriage united
her to another distinguished family,
Larz Anderson being the nephew Of
General Anderson of Fort Sumter fame
The Anderson estate at Brookline,
Mass, with its magnificent vistas, its
spacious halls and brilliant Italian gar
dens, forms one Of the most impos-
ing homes to be found anywhere.
Two million dollars were spent on the
buildings and grounds, and the Cupid
fountain standing on the site Of the
original Anderson homestead is world
famous for its artistic beauty. The
house and garden, with the bowling
green between, crown a high hill which
on all sides falls away sharply.
Not only has Mrs. Anderson become
famous for her charitable work and
her interest in the welfare Of the poor,
but she has made her mark in the lit
erary world.
She is devoted to children and takes
more pleasure in providing pleasure
for them than in planning splendid
fetes for the famous. Her most am
bilious literary effort, book Of fairy
tales and other stories, published sew
eral years ago and dedicated with
much love" to her husband, is the re-
suit Of her careful study Of how to
amuse children and at the same time
TO instruct them.
Mr.. Anderson, who was a captain Of
volunteers In the Spanish war, has
served as secretary to the American
embassies at London and Rome. He
was appointed minister to Belgium In
August, 1911.

YOUR ROSEBUSHES.
From Buds to Broken Roots
Here Is Sound Advice.

Prepared by the q. s. department
Of agriculture
TN planting dormant bushes
L it is desirable to trim the
ends Of broken roots and any
that are too long Just before they
are put into the hole, so that
there will be smooth, fresh sur
faces which can callous and heal
over. 1t is usual to have this
fresh cut surface on the under
side Of the root. The hole in
which the bush Is to be planted
should be several inches larger
across than the roots will extend
and ample in depth, with a little
loose earth on the bottom. The
roots should be separated well
in all directions, with the soil
well worked In among them,
separating them into layers, each
OF which should be spread out
like the fingers Of the hand
When the hole Is partially full
the plant should be shaken up
and down so as to make sure it
is In close contact with the SOL
under the crown where the roots
branch. When the roots are well
covered the soil should be firm
ed. This is best done by tramp
ing. If the soil is in proper con-
dition tramping cannot injure
the plants. This will leave a
depression about them, but all
the roots will be covered.
When all are planted each one
may be watered, although this
usually Is not necessary, espe-
cd1y II the roots have been pud-
DAD before planting. If water
u applied permit it to soak in
about the roots and then fill the
hole with dry earth. Do not
tramp after watering. With the
soil wet it would be Injurious
to compact It more. II not wa
tered the depression should be
filed with loose earth, the same
as though 1t had been watered.
After planting no watering
should be done unless very div
weather follows, and even then
care must be exercised not to
overdo 1t tn after growth starts,
In watering It is desirable to
draw away some earth from
about the bush, apply the wa
ter and after 1t has soaked In
draw dry earth about the plant
again.

FRESH CHICKENS
How TO Choose One From Among
EmbaImed Poultry.
PITT WHoLEsoMENESS FIRST.

Birds and the Great Danger OF sae-
tsrIa Entering q Dressed One, Thus
cau.ino Ptomalne Poisoning.

Birds and the Sreas NsHsoF VI
tsria Entering q Dressed One, Thus
Causing Ptomalne Poisoning.
We should place wholesomeness ahead
of plumpness and youth In other
words, the points Of greatest Importance
TO consider are: els the bird untafnted
or reasonably fresh? Is there danger OF
fits giving ptomaine poisoning to some
one who eats It because the bacteria OF
decay have begun their deadly work"
The time was when It was considered
safer to purchase poultry which had
been drawn, 1t being argued that the
entrails were likely to contaminate the
meat. Heads and feet were removed,
and the purchaser felt she was getting
net weight and not paying Tor tnat
which must be discarded.
As q matter Of fact, 1t Is now bel1ev-
ed by the majority that it Is safer to
buy poultry undrawn and with the
heads and feet where nature placed
them. Once an opening has been made
into the body cavity Of bird or the
head and feet cut of, the moist, deli
cate tissues are laid open to the air,
fairly inviting the invasion Of bacteria.
These bacteria soon impair the flavor
Of the meat, even If actual decomposi-
ton does not set in.
The feet and head tell a good deal
about the age Of the bird. Young
birds have clean, smooth legs and feet,
while old ones show a rough, scaly
condition with the development Of
spurs. Some poultry specialists also
claim that a fowl with yellow legs is
Of better favor than one having black
legs.
The head Of a bird which has been
killed some time viii tell the fact
plainly to any one who can read the
symptoms. Sunken eyes, darkened
neck and greenish blue color near the
bin, all show that the bird Is no longer
fresh.
To order a bird over the telephone IS
to trust entirely to ones marketman.
It Is much better to make the selection
In person and to have the chicken or
duck or whatever It may be drawn in
ones presence.
Sometimes chickens are dry picked
Immediately after they are killed, and
to hasten the cooling process they are
allowed to stand for q time in very
cold water in order to remove the ami
NAL heat.
This is Objectionable also, for a
chicken cooled in water absorbs more
or less Of it, which is paid for at food
prices. The skin Of such bird has
white look. which has been described
as "powdery." 1t has a thick look
and is inclined to be rather shiny.
A properly dry picked, air cooled
chicken has a loose, clear looking skin.
There are sure to be short hairs, which
it is necessary to remove by singeing,
and the papillae, or quill sockets, show
plainly.
1t Is not at all difficult to learn to
dress poultry at home. Ten or fifteen
at the most is all that is need
ed to prepare a good sized bird for
cooking, and there is a great deal Of
satisfaction in knowing exactly what |
you have got.
In these days Of the high price Of
living and the still higher price Of be-
ing sick the more we pay others for do
ing the less money we have for our
selves.

Why Water Puts Out Fire.

Water puts out fire for two good rea-
sons First, If thing Is covered with
water, the oxygen Of the air cannot get
at It to burn it. But that is not nearly
the most important reason why water
puts out fire. 1t Is that water has
great capacity for heat and can hold a
great deal Of it. 1t takes so much heat
into itself, and so quickly, that it low
ers the temperature Of the burning
thing that it can no longer burn.
