While many OF the women OF this

ton here, until q few weeks ago,
stopped sewing and knitting for men
at the front to spend days OF her val

An Aerial Shepherd.

The little republic Of Venezuela
boasts OF n remarkable bird which can
be trained TO tend fOcks. Not only
does the yak-a milk, as IT is called, take
the place Of the sheep dog, but It IL
frequently used to guard the home Of
Its owner.
When the Indians capture yak-a-
milk they find little difficulty In train
ing II to domestic use. 1t Is attach
ed to the farmyard and performs the
same duties as faithful watchdog. A
yak-a milk soon learns to know and
obey the voice Of its master. Its usual
gait il slow and sedate, but sometimes
1t will execute most eccentric move
ments, waItzing and pirouetting In a
very absurd fashion. Instances are re-
corded where yak.a-milks have defend
ed their charges from attacks Of wild
and savage animals and even driven
them OF.

WEBS IN THE GRASS.

This morning while | was walking
In the field saw in the grass the tents
OF bold robber band.
/ thought | heard Mrs. Fly say as
she few by me: There are those spt
der webs stretched out OH the grass
Well, the spiders won't catch ME this
time. 1t was very kind OF Fairy Dew
drop to sprinkle the webs with drops
Of water so that we may see them and
keep out of trouble"
But as 1t got warmer the drops We're
ing up into the sky to make clouds
Then unless you had sharp eyes and
looked closely you could not see the
lacey tents, which were, after all, traps
In which the sly spider hoped to catch
dinner, breakfast and tea.
One spider caught little brown
skipper butterfly. AS soon as he felt
the web shake from the struggles Of
the insect up he darted through his
funnel shaped stairway and pounced
upon the butterfly.
Once big brown wasp came buzzing
across the garden and In flying too
near the ground struck spiders web.
The minute the spider saw what he
had caught he was so frightened he
was most ready to run downstairs
again, but he feared for his precious
web. 1t had taken a whole hour to
spin IT.
So the spider hurried to the edge Of
the web and began cutting away the
threads that held the prisoner.
In a minute the wasp was free and
dropped TO the grass. Soon he was
able to fly away, and then the spider
came out OF his hole and mended the
broken web.
But the little dewdrops that had gone
up TO the sky and Joined the nice big
clouds must have told tales, for after
awhile the clouds rolled over the sky
till the sun was hidden, and host Of
big raindrops came pattering to the
ground.
They battered at the spider webs till
they were torn to bits, and the spiders
crawled away into holes under stones
or I'm the ground. waiting for the rain
10 stop.
And, of course, there was no supper
for the spiders and no breakfast the
next day, for 1t kept right on raining.
But as tomorrow promises to be a
sunshiny day perhaps you may notice
whether they have set their traps again
I'm the grass.

Autumn Colors.

Already Paris is busy planning fall
fashions, and the very first thing to be
decided is the question Of colors, so
that manufacturers OF materials may
set to work. After that there will be
time enough to arrange about styles
and silhouettes.
Decidedly rusty is the shade that
promises to be most fashionable next
fall. 1t is called rouille, which. in fact.
means rust.
There are two rust shades both red
dish brown, but one very much bright
er than the other. All the new grays
are metallic grays-nothing so soft as
smoke.
Silver, nickel, gun metal and iron
gray are represented. There is pIati-
mum gray, too, and there Is pewter.
Even aluminium gray is not forgotten.
Quite appropriately for autumn time,
the new greens are called duck greens,
and the browns are known as pheasant
browns. Most OF the new blues are
called army blue, and the shades num-
Der as many as there are kinds OF blue
uniforms In the world. or course the
choice OF Paris Is the French uniform
blue.
