Time to Fiuht Mice.

The time to fight mice is when you
house is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not q crumb
of food Is left exposed In kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that in
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where q
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement to take up his peiIn2-
nent abode there.
The next thing to do Is to cut off the
means of entrance to your home, and
this 81 done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the celia.r
or open cavities In the wall or loose
woodwork. AS a final you
will perhaps have to choose between
a mouse trap and a cat. 1t all de-
Ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice to lodge
in your house was formerly only an
act of slothful neglect, 1t is now one
of the crimes of wastefulneSs, of
which no patriotic woman should b.
guilty.-Exchange.

VELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those
Doomed to Live in Plain of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was q
saying current among the Beers Of
South Africa that you could always
recognize q man who had spent five
years or the veldt. This was q sayin.
no less true then than now, for the
veldt is a place of great silence and
loneliness and 1t leaves its mark on
those who dwell in 1t.
The veldt is the great plain of what
is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureleSs stretch of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kopjeS, pierced and gashed by
r~ain-washed guilies that run their
twisting course from horizon to hori-
ION. The word "veldt" is closely al
lied to the German word for world
or universe" and the relationship is
something more than mere cOinci-
dence. To the nan standing in the
midst of this plain ii seems TO extend
in every direction to the outermost
limits of space. =
The veldt is without sound or color,
without striking features to catch the
eye. y days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
lily through mile after mile of the same
hills, and ends in a dry valley as like
the valley of the morning as one pea
is like another. After a few days of
this h traveller wonders if his prog
ress is not q mere illusion, if he is not
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the monotony is
broken by some veldt farm, a place of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till 1t. There will be u farmhouse. a
barn, a kraai, a we'll ana a few huts
for the kaffiIs. To the railroad may
be a distance of anywhere from 20 TO
40 miles. Half the year the roads are
impossible. The little community
must be sufficient INTO itself. Life on
Il Veldt farm is a severe test of the
inner resources of man or woman.

PAYS TO GO TO MARKET
Women of Toulon Buy Foods Much a
Is Custom in Some Ameri-
can Cities.

To the continental woman, market
Ing is both a time-hallowed custom and
a leading outdoor sport. Europe has
always been far more economical than
America. and this method of careful
food purchasing is one of the first aids
to economical housekeeping. according
to Niksah. You see what you are
getting, there are always opportunities
to pick up bargains. and there are no
delivery costs. Marketing by telephone
Is almost unknown in Europe outside
a few big cities, because tie telephone
Is not nearly so much a household In

On either side of the pavement I'M
der the plantains are ranged scores of
stalls covered with drab awnings. Most
of the stallkeepers are women
Frenchwonen, Italians, COrSicans,
Spanish. They sell all the vegetables
known to botany, and delicacies like
mushrooms, snails and r%avioli, which
is a dish made of macarOni and meat,
as well. There are booths for the sale
of flowers and medicinal herbs, and
chickens and doubtful looking cuts of
meat. The cream of the custom comes
between nine and eleven. In the last
half-hOur there is a great bargain sale
of everything that will not keep until
the next day and the poorer classes
rush the booths to purchase slightly
damaged but nOurishing goods at
ridiculously low prices.

Activity of Russian Women.

As Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the la-g-
est medical college for women in Eu-
rope. 1t Is not strange that women
have taken such an active part In the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
uonary movements the women stu
dents have been more dangerous per-
haps. to the government. than the
men. 1t is believed that the majority
OF the women are revolution
lists and that their military experience
was sought for the opportunity IL gave
them TO spread their doctrine.
