No Other Poem Has Given
World So Many immortal
Quotations as Grey's EIegy

No single poem in the English Ian
guage perhaps has contributed so
many lines that have passed into cur
rency of quotation as Gray's famous
Elegy. 1t is a veritable mine of epi-
grammatic nuggets that have enriched
the language of orators and writer's
and become such familiar property
that their origin is almost forgotten
and they seldom now receive the
credit even of quotation marks. Here
are few of them that will be recog-
nized as old friends:
"The short and simple annals of
the poor"
"Rich with the spoils of time"
"The paths of glory lead to the
grave"
"And freeze the genial currents of
the SOUL"
"Full many flower is born to blush
unseen and waste its sweetness on the
desert air."
"Some mute, inglorious Milton, some
Hampden guiltless of his country's
blood"
Hands that the rod Of empire might
have swayed."
"The applause of listening senates
to command"
"The noiseless tenor of their way"
Ear from the maddlng crowds ig-
noble strife"
'E'en in our ashes live their wonted
fires"
"a youth to fortune and to fame
unknown"
"To wade through slaughter to
throne"
The inspirational influences of the
poem have been far-reaching, says the
Kansas City Star. Thomas Hardy's
most famous book-and the best of
his earlier novels--"The Madding
Crowd" derived It's title and perhaps
its inspiration from one of the oft
quoted lines of the elegy. 1t is told
of Daniel Webster that when he was
being driven to the capitol to deliver
his reply to Haynes he was heard by
one of his companions to murmur over
and over again as he rode along the
words: "The applause of listening
senates to command" 1t will also be

Cornstarch Merinaue.

Heat three cupfuls of milk to the
boiling point, add gradually two table
spoonfuls of cornstarch, mixed with a

allow 1t to cool, then stir in two we'll

spoonfuls of sugar. Simmer few min

Dictates of Fashion.


Bright red cherries, artificial of
course, nestle In long-haired fur neck
pieces and muffs.
Vest effects, whether developed as a
part of suit, coat or frock, continue
to be favored.
Satin continues to be chosen for
many of the smart afternoon dresses
and 1t is likewise seen in combination
with cloth.
Among the unusual umbrellas is one
Of Scotch plaid. Its rib ends are fin
ished in long tips which seem to be Of
tortoise shell. The handle is of nat
ural wood.
The edict has gone forth that skirts
are TO be much longer. Moreover, 1t is
said that the whole motif In dressing is
to be different-artistry I'm design and
long flowing lines being emphasized.
So far empire lines for outer ap-
parel have been pretty generally con-
fined to garments for misses, adult
women wisely acknowledging the
straight line or normal waist garments
as their best selections.
The vogue for the empire style is be-
ing tried out in the development of
negligee and lingerie garments, this be-
ing one of the favorite suggestions for
night gowns and many of the popular
combination garments.
The bathing suit of silk velvet, said
to stand the water splendidly, is one Of
the novelties of the season. but the
real mermaid girl will still find on the
market many good-looking examples
of that fine standby, the jersey suit.

CapeS of Marabou.

Marabou capes similar to the
fur capes of the winter will be
worn this spring. They are ad-
mirable as accomplishments of
the modish straight little one
piece frocks. These capes are
of white or brown marabOu in
various styles and they reach to
the hips. There will also be
smaller models fashioned In two
tones. For instance, there may
be collar and yoke of white
marabou finished with a deep
border of white feathers striped
with gray, or, perhaps, there
will be little tufts of snowy os-
trich on a marabou foundation.
Black and white speckled
feathers make an effective
edging to plain white boa, the
ends of which have enormous
tassels of feathers.

POULTRY
FATS

A variety of grain, with some meat
food and some green food, is essential
to the good health and productiveness
of the flock.
Be careful that eggs which are to be
used for Matching do not get chilled In
the nest, or chilled while being saved
to put In the incubators.
A dimly lighted poultry house Is un-
comfortable and unhealthful, and fowls
housed In such a place cannot be ex-
pected to produce the best results.
Unless they agree well and do not
fight or quarrel, II is useless to try to
keep two males In the same breeding
pen at the same time. One may be
confined one day and the other the
next.
II is impossible to secure good
matches from incubators which are OPP
Grated in poorly ventilated places.
Neither can hens hatch well IL the eggs
are constantly surrounded by Impure
air.
Always dlsinfect incubators and
brooders, that have been used previous
ly, before using them this season. This
is to be sure that no germs of disease
remain in them to attack the little
chicks.

The early sitting hens should have

can furnish only n certain amount OF
