Another Use for Bunny.

That Belgian hares have other re- sourceful veins than meat producing remained tA be established by an anna teur English woman fancier. The climax of her undertaking was when she appeared at large pet stock show in England with a jaunty, becoming hat, a coat, and a set of furs made from rabbit skins, which she admitted publicly were nothing more than some of her pet rabbits.
 In England, S3,OOO rabbit skins a year are being made over into ermine, Arctic fox and black lynx furs to fool milady. Before the war such rabbits were produced by scores of millions in Europe, and vast quantities of the skins imported to the United States to masquerade as real fur. American breeders are raising the same kind of rabbits that produce the best money for the fur shops, and 1t is certain that as valuable rabbit fur can be pro- duced in America as elsewhere. It is business that can be conducted every month in the year, and a hobby that will pay it's way is one to be valued.-Hunter-Tra Trapper.

MAKES HIS WIPES GOWNS
She Shingles Roofs and Then Finds Happiness in Unusual Domes-
 tic Pastime.

Santa Monica, Cal.-Mr. Husband, how would you like to make your wife a hat while she shingled the roof?
 Mrs. Wife, how would you like to wield a hammer and saw while your husband designed your gowns?
 Impossible? Not at all. MT. and Mrs. E. Fl. Springer of this city say it makes for domestic happiness. They've been married 13 years, and every time Mrs. Springer needs a new hat or gown MT. Springer gets busy and de- signs and makes them.
 And, to make things even, Mrs. Springer recently shingled their home, using 27 bundles of shingles, and paint ed the interior of the house. She's an expert with the saw and hammer, too.
 "We find our unusual and opposite abilities a pleasure" said Mrs. Sprin- ger. "And perhaps there would not be so many divorces if other people were so agreeable" added MT. Sprin- ger.

VICTIM OF TURKS RAPAcITY
Dead City of Farmagusta, on leland of Cyprus, Monument to Their
 Savaoery and Hate.

Farmagusta, "the place of the god dess," is in a deso1ate corner of the far-famed island of Cyprus. One look at the wrecked city shows plainly that the goddess has forsaken her altars It looks as though a sandstorm had struck the place and buried it's glory beneath dune, from which rise the remains of churches, towers and a cathedral.
 It was not, however, the sands of the tropics that laid the ancient md tropolis low. The Turks, wrathful at this city of 300 churches, attacked it in a siege which might have rivaled the lengthy Trojan episode had not hun ger overcome the city's defenders. The pillaging of the conquerors completed the ruin wrought by battering rams, fire and stones.
 Earthquakes followed and settled the shattered stones further into the sand. But through the city's days of destruction, even today, the outer walls and bastions stand firm. The lharbor stronghold of Farmagusta would be formidable obstacle to attack even in this day of 5O-mile guns and scientific artillery fire.
 In one corner of the wall stands tower said to have been the, scene of Desdemona's death at the hands of OthellO.
 Aside from the strong walls there are few bits of intact architecture among the debris. An occasional palm tree growing up through the ruins adds to the effect of abandonment. A few Turks hold the city gainst time, the only enemy left to it.

 Helping Disabled Officers.

A small settlement of disabled Brit. ish officers has been started at Goath. land, on the Yorkshire moors, a clergy man and his wife having given a group of nine cottages, with garden and orchard, for the experiment. Here a naval officer and his niece have started weaving, while a blind officer, trained at St. Dunstan's, has a poultry farm. Others are considering the pos abilities of bookkeeping, fruit growing and basket making. It is believed that the same qualities of leadership dis played on the battlefield can be uti- lized by disabled officers in connec- ton with rural reconstruction in Eng land

HOUSING IN GREAT BRITAIN
Problem Bids Fair to Be Successfully Worked Out Through Fair and
 United Effort.

In connection with the problem of reconstruction in the united kingdom various housing schemes are contem- plated. Variety in the model dwell ings to be erected has been encour- aged by the enterprise of the London Daily Mail, which offered prizes amounting to $1OO0O for designs best and most suitable in themselves and most nearly in line with the architec- tura1 traditions of the several dis trfcts."
 The country was divided into four areas-the northern, midland and Welsh industrial areas, and the south ern and midland counties rural area, with a prize of $2,5OO in each section. Over $500 designs were submitted. In the winning designs the need for econ omy in all cases was apparent.
 In addition to these new model homes, demand has arisen for furni- ture especially suitable for them, the construction of which would be of the simplest, combined with the required rigidity and strength. A successful at tempt to meet this need has been made by the Shoreditch Technical institute Gondon), at which cottage furniture, designed in the carpentry shops of the institute and executed by the boys at the school, has been on exhibition.

Chihuahua Is Smallest.

The smallest of all recognized breeds of dogs is the Chihuahua, which is also one of the most intelligent of all the canine family. This breed is product of Mexico and is named after north ern country where there are thousands of these little dogs running wild and multiplying each year. It seems re- markable thing that in spite of the fact that they have never had any dog shows in Mexico, one only has to visit that country and try to purchase a really good, typical little Chihuahua from native to realize that the Med- cans know the worth of this dog of his own country. How these dogs were bred probably never will be known. Some authorities have intimated that they were bred some generations back from large squirrels, and this view is borne out by the fact that at one time these dogs ran wild in the woods and that the Chihuahua is nearly as pro fcient in running up trees as the squir- re1

What to Do With Money.

If any man in this town really has more money than he knows what to do with we suggest that he take a trip through the hospitals of the city and discover for himself the crowded conditions that exist. Personally we know of one hospital that needs new wing that a few rich men could build very quickly if they'd get together.
 Anyhow what we started to say is that there's so much needed to be done that no man ought to have more money that he knows what to do with for the want of a worthy cause to spend it in.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Pie.BaId Truth.

MT. Jones keeps pigeons, and Mir. Brown, next door, tries to keep pigeons. MT. Brown is constantly losing birds, while MT. Jones is as constantly sus- pected of finding them. The other morning MT. Brown, with a smile and a dime approached the youthful son and heir of MT. Jones.
 ''Willie," began Brown, holding up the coin, "did daddy find bird yester- day?''
 Willie nodded.
 And was it blue bird with some white feathers in it's wing?''
 "Dunno," responded Willie, pocket ing the dime. You can't tell their color when they're in a pie>!"

PersonI Influence.

To influence others one must have a hearty fellow feeling for them. be willing to extend helping hand as oc- casion demands, to cheer, to comfort, to console. Which means that imag- ination also counts for much in the exercising of personal influence. The unimaginative can never be genuinely sympathetic. Sincerity, common sense, forcefulness, courage, self-confidence, decision, sympathy, keenness of imag- ination-these above aught else are the qualities that need to be cultivated by all who would draw on the aid of per sonal influence in pressing forward to the goal of success.

Beat Huns at Their Own Game.

The most hateful chapter of the work of science in war was the in- troduction of chemical warfare. The first gas attack, on April p, 1915,s and the five others that followed within little more than a month, found the allies unprepared, and it was not un- til September that they were able in any way to retaliate. But the imme- diate reply was one that did honor to science. Due to the splendid work of the late Colonel Harrison a system of defense by gas masks was established, in which the allies were for the greater part of the war far ahead of their ad- versaries, who only succeeded in com ing up to them by learning and copy ing our methods. It was impossible to estimate what would have been the destruction caused by toxic gases but for these defensive measures.
