the picker.
No. S.-The trick in removing the
back and hip feathers Is to grasp the
feathers with the palm of the hand
outward, and then rotate the forearm
inward. This makes sort of scraping
motion, and out come the feathers.
No. 9.-In the picture is hand in

are needed-one on the upper. the
other on the lower half of the neck.

softly up the stairs.
But Carol did not forget her vow.
Early the next morning she stalked

Much loss results from "roughing'

be removed by the 'tipper" or pin

No. 1.-The picking shackle, made

wife Much Worry.

Here is life history Of that frail,
yellow quarter-inch moth. Those that
we see fiuttering about the house are
probably looking for good place to
start colony. Each female moth lays
about so eggs. She Clues each one
carefully to the fiber of cloth or fur,
and she is especially pleased with
fuzzy fabrics, fringes, and frayed edges
where she can bury her eggs deep in
the ambush of tangled threads. After
she has fastened all her eggs her life
work is over and she dies.
1t takes the eggs just a week to
hatch. Out Of each one comes wee
translucently white caterpillar which
starts Immediately to do damage. AS
1t eats, it builds a gallery to live in
from sort of silk of its own making,
mingled with fibres torn from the IA
brio ON which it lives. The caterpillar
gnaws at your coat or your dress or
your blankets for about ten weeks.
Then it enlarges its feeding case to
make q cocoon. Two weeks 1t sleeps
in this cocoon, then the case bursts,
the caterpillar comes out pale. dusty
yellow moth, mates, and starts an
other destructive cycle Of life.

CAN'T TRUST ONES IMPULSE

Have Changed Their Minds.

away from tobacco at the ripe age Of
sixty years, &c. M. F." writes in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
81 bought a Partaga and walked up
the hill to the capitol. I was feeling
very bad. At the State street corner
/ looked at my cigar and said: old
friend, you have sacrificed yourself
for me, and I've pretty nearly sacri-
feed myself for you. Here's where you
and part company tossed the cigar
away, it hit the side of a passing horse
car and landed in the street. The car
conductor jumped off, picked it up and
went on, smoking happily"
If the car conductor had not grabbed
the cigar Chauncey might have
changed his mind and reclaimed it
Grandma used to say that one should
never act upon impulse. remember
quitting the use Of tobacco once, while
fishing, and I afterward changed my
mind and walked back quarter Of
mile to retrieve my snipe. The fell
low who forswears booze and breaks
his bottle impulsively generally man
ages to get another pint somewhere.

onies, upon condition that the kaiser
step down from the throne, he would

'Your country would like to make a

nented, "a republic like France, per-
haps, going down and Down all the
time-a country ruled by lawyers ="
Ard he mentioned half dozen Of the
great French statesmen who were
members IF the legal profession. It's
a sad thing for country when it gets
into the hands of the lawyers. France

He believed that just as the universe

be dominated by an earthly ruler ana
that God had selected him for the task.
To displace him in favor of repub-

tute ruler elected by the people for
monarch designated by God was in
his opinion the basest sort of sacrilege,
and the unfortunate part of it all was
that the majority of his people CO.
incided with him. They preferred to
be ruled by hand of iron rather than
to rule themselves. Sone day they
may be awakened to the blessings OF
self-government. but up to the present
