Effective Holder for Pens.

A good-looking old-fashioned desk
with rose-colored appointments was
lacking a holder for pens, pencils, etc.
An ingenious person substituted a rose
pottery flower holder which come with
flower bowl. With a goodly assert
ment Of pens, including a good looking
quill, this holder was very effective. A
blue flower holder can be used in q
room where blue predominates.

Birds Restore Old Orchard.

A Massachusetts Ornithologist took
In hand typical old orchard, one
which had suffered greatly from neg
lect. Between 1891 and 1895 he OBJ
served this orchard, at first overrun
with baneful insects, later, when his
efforts to attract birds had been re-
Warded, practically freed of insects, so
that with intelligent care the trees
bore fruit, being the only ones of that
neighbOrhOod to do so.

working toward that in way he's
best fit for, come what may"
