Fish Scale JeweIry.


That there is commercial value in
unconsidered trlfles is shown by a
writer, who says:
"The scales of fish, which are Of util-
ity to the owner during its sojourn in
the Vastly deep, are|gnored after cap
lure as good only for the refuse heap.
But 1t was not ever thus" says an ex-
change. "In days gone by fish scales
possessed a real value, notably those
Of roach, bleak, dace and whitehall.
colder writer's tell us how the scales
Of these fishes were collected and used
In the manufacture of necklaces, ear
rings and such like ornament. Thames
fishermen used to catch fish, take off
the scales and throw the body back
into the river. A pigment was obtain
ed by treating the scales in q certain
fashion, whitehall being the most pop
hlar fish used for the purpose. So
great formerly was the demand at
times that the price Of a quart of
fish scales varied from one to five
guineas.
"This treatment of fish scales for
making small personal adornments Is
attributed to the French"

received the delegation of citizens in
ace, a solitary little figure, standing
on the red carpet before the dais at
the end. The chancellor stood near
the boy, Respondent in his dress uni
form, a blue ribbon across his shirt
front, over which Mathilde had taken
hours. He was the Mettlich of the
public eye now, hard of features, i'm
passive, infexible.
He had staged the affair well. The
crown prince, standing alone, sc small,
SO appealing, against his magnificent
background, was a picture to touch the
hardest. Not for nothing had Mettlich
studied the people, read their essential
simplicity, their answer to any appeal
to the heart. These men were men of
family. Surely no father of a son
could see that lonely child and not
offer him loyalty.
With the same wisdom, he had given
the boy small instruction, and no
speech of thanks. Let him say what
comes into his head" Mettlich had
reasoned. SIT will at least be
spontaneous and boyish."
The first formalities over, and the
crown prince having shaken hands
nine times, the spokesman stepped for
ward. He had brought a long, written
speech, which had already been given
to the newspapers. But after a mo-
ment's hesitation he folded it up.
"Your royal highness," he said, look
ing down, II have here d long speech,
but all that it contains 1 can say brief
ly. 1t is your birthday, highness. We
come, representing many others, to pre-
sent to you u congratulations, and
the love of your people. 1t is our

element were getting the better of
him-'our hope, highness, that you

Their that hope, we are here today to
say that we, representing all classes,

He glanced beyond the child at the
council, and his tone was strong and
impassioned. But today we are here,
not to speak of war, but to present
to you u congratulations, our de-
votion, and our loyalty"

that. He stepped back, was nudged,

If the rubbish left over from last
seasons gardening has not already
been removed, a general garden clean
up should be the first work of this sea-
son Clean culture plays an important
part In the fight against insects-a
menace to the success of the home
gardeners efforts. Many forms of In
sect enemies of the vegetable garden
are protected through the winter by
brush and other rubbish, which, IL
removed, would materially reduce their
numbers.
Cutworms, which hide in the soil in
the daytime and come out at night to
feed on the tender growth and cut
small plants entirely off, wireworms
that damage the tubers of potatoes
and other root crops, and a host of 9TH
er insects, winter under brush and rub
bish on the earth or a few inches I'M

lection during the cool weather of
winter, conditions are ideal for their
survival.
Active During Winter.
"Aphids" or plant lice, are active
during the winter months in the more
southern sections and find food on
ornamental vines and shrubs and on
growing weeds which afford them food
and shelter when other plants are not
available. Much may be gained by
keeping down the weeds in neglected
ornerS.
Leaves, stems, and other litter should
never be allowed to accumulate up to
the time of planting, or there will be
thousands of insects the coming year
where there were hundreds last season.

brave nj Not nee In the long hours
Of his interrogation had be betrayed
the name of the Countess Loschek.
The Crown Prince Ferdinand Will
liam Otto of Livonia was having a
birthday. Now, a birthday for a crown
prince of Livonia Is not a matter of a
cake with candles on 1t, and having
his ears pulled, once for each year and
an extra n to grow on. Nor of a
holiday from lessons, and a picnic In
spring woods. Nor a party, with chill
dren frolicking and scratching the best
furniture.
In the first place, he was wakened
at dawn and taken to early service in
the chapel, a solemn function, with the
court assembled and slightly sleepy.
The crown prince, who vas trying to
look his additional dignity of years,
sat and stood as erect as possible, and
yawned only once.
At eleven o'clock came word that the
king was too Ill to have him to
luncheon, but that he would see him
for a few moments that afternoon.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto, who
was diagramming the sentence, "Abra-
ham Lincoln freed the slaves In Amer
ica," and doing 1t wrong, looked up in
dismay.
I'D like to know what's the use of
having a birthday" he declared re-
belliously.
The king did not approve Of birth
day gifts. So there were no gifts.
None, that Is, until the riding hour
came, and Milky, subverter of all dis
cipline. He had brought a fig lady,
wrapped in paper.
"It's quite fresh" he said, as they
walked together across the place.
"In give it to you when we get to the
riding school. 1 saw the woman my
self take it out of her basket. So it
has no germs on it."
That afternoon, attired in his uni
form of the guards, the crown prince

Weeds should be cleared up and

Dish.
Work Soil to Destroy Insects.
The soil should be thoroughly worked
over during the winter to destroy such
insects as may be spending the winter
on, or a few inches below, the surface.
This is best done at least a month be-
fore the seeds are planted.
If chickens are available for the pur-
pose, they ought to be allowed free
access to the newly turned over soil
for a time, as the fresh meat in the
form of insects which they will find
there will prove a very welcome addi-
ton to their diet, and its removal will
go far toward insuring a fair start to
the garden crop.

Milky Makes a Promise.

Milky makes a Promise.
The chancellor lived alone, in his
little house neal the palace, a house
that looked strangely like him, over
hanging eyebrows and all, with VIM
dows that were like his eyes,, clear
and %concealing many secrets. A grim,
gray little old house, which concealed
behind it a walled garden full of I'M
expected charm. And that, too, was
like the chancellor.
Mathilde kept his house for him,
mended and pressed his uniforms,
washed and starched his linen,
quarreled with the orderly who at
tended him, and drove him to bed at
night.
Mathilde was in touch with the peo-
pie. 1t was Mathilde, and not one of
his agents, who had brought word of
the approaching revolt of the copper
smiths guild, and enabled him to check
it almost before it began. A stole, this
Mathilde, with her tall, spare figure
and glowing eyes, stole and patriot.
Once every month she burned four
candles before the shrine of Our Lady
of Sorrows in the cathedral, because
of four sons she had given to her
try.
On the evening of the day Hedwig
had made her futile appeal to the king,
the chancellor sat alone. His dinner,
almost untasted, lay at his elbow. 1t
was nine o'clock. At something after
seven he had paid his evening visit to
the king, and had found him uneasy
and restless.
"Sit down." the king had said. 81

turned and fixed on his chancellor his
faded eye "You still think it Is the

at is the only thing"
"But all this haste" put In the king
querulously. SIS that so necessary?
Hedwig begs for time. She hardly
knows the man."
'"Timei But / thought" He hest
tated. How say to a dying man that
time was the, one thing he did not
have?
another thing. She was incoherent,
but l gathered that there was some one
else. The whole interview was cy-
clonic. 1t seems, however. that this
young protege Of yours, Larisch, has
been making love to her over Otto's
head"
Mettlich's face hardened, a gradual
process, as the news penetrated In all
its significance.
"a boy and girl affair, sire. He is
loyal. And In all of this, you and 1 are
reckoning without Karl. The princess
hardly knows him, and naturally she
is terrified. But his approaching visit
will make many changes. He is a fine
figure Of a man, and women"
Exactly" said the king dryly.
What the chancellor meant was that
always had loved Karl, and the
king understood.

observed the chancellor. HE is forty,

ONE DOLLAR AND A BIG
 HEART IN RED CROSS

Something like 300 names are the results, up to last night, of the drive for new members in the Red Cross. Those who are giving their time and efforts toward seeing that Flagstaff furnishes it's part of the 20,000,000 new members wanted, are, while not discouraged. disappointed at the slow ness with which the public is respond ing. Flagstaff should show roll of certainly not less than 1,000 new mem- bers at the end of this week. It is a privilege, costing one dollar year, to belong to the Red Cross. It has been hoped that by securing the large membership suggested that it would do away with any need for drives for cash gifts such as we have had in the past, but it is a certainty that they will have to come again if we do not all join now. Mir. M. |. Powers says that the showing made by Flagstaff so far in this member ship drive is not encouraging and that the people do not seem to awake to the importance of giving their names and their dollar to the Red Cross, but that he looks for them to come in now in such volume as to reach the mark set for us. Go and join, now.

PRETTY FLAGSTAFF GIRLS
 ATTRACT SOLDIER BOYS

It would possibly be not wise to in- innate that the Flagstaff girls find the local material so scarce or un- promising that they would make transient soldier boys miss their train, but it has happened several times of late. Sunday morning a good looking officer stepped off the train and was soon in conversation with some of the prominent attrac- tions of the town. The conductor called, the train started but the young man did not. When the last coach was past him and going at consider able speed he looked up and without any noticeable goodbye, was on his way. But the train had the start of him and he soon gave up. The last seen of him he was walking up the middle of the track, without hat, quite likely without transportation and no doubt sadder but a wiser man.

The writer was one of those suffering from the flu who were for tunate enough to benefit by Mrs. Sullivan's management of and devo- tion to the work there at the hos pital. Because she was needed she "stayed on the job" when she herself was sick, and by so doing increased the length and danger of her own sickness.
