Foe of DandeIlons,

East and west, north and south in
this fair land Of ours, one of the
greatest pests to beautiful lawn is
the dandelion. The more we try to
get them eliminated the more they
thrive Now the surest remover is Il
few geese. They prefer dandelion TO
anything else. II one cannot afford
to buy the geese, for they are eS-
pensive, get a few Of their eggs, give
them to an old hen. She will hatch
and raise them. They are sturdy lit
tie fellows.
Take strip of wire fencing feet
high. Make it in a circle about 10
feet in diameter, place this on the
lawn; put the geese in it with pan
of water to drink. Change it about
as fast as they clean up a spot. They
require little else to eat and become
very tame.-Thrift Magazine.

Shifting sand Made Trouble.

The shifting Of the sands Of the sea-
shore very often involves expensive
litigation. In 1885 the counties of AT
lantic and Burlington, of New Jersey
entered into an expensive litigation
concerning the boundary between
them. There was dispute as to one
Of the corners of this boundary. 1t
was stated to be, in the original sur
yey, ''the next inlet in the south side
Of Little Egg Harbor's most southerly
inlet, and thence along the seacoast
to the line of partition between east
and west Jersey But it could not
be found In its original home when
they went to look for 1t, thus bring
ing up to date the ancient saying
about rope of sand.

SEES TURKISH RULE AMUSING
English Author Finds Funny Side to
Life in Jerusalem Under
the Crescent.

The tradition of Turkish rule In
Palestine as one finds 1t in Jerusalem
is simply a joke, declares G. K. Ches-
terton in his book, 1.-THE New Jeru-
SALEM" All the stories about 1t are
jokes and often very good jokes. My
own favorite incident is that which
Is still commemorated in the English
cathedral by an enormous hole in the
floor.
The Turks dug up the pavement
looking for concealed British artillery,
because they had been told that the
bishop had given his blessing to two
cannons The bishop had, indeed re-
Gently appointed two canons to the
service Of the church, but he had not
secreted them under the floor of the
chancel. There was another agree
able incident when the Turkish au-
thorities, by an impulsive movement
Of religious liberation, sent for
Greek priest to bury Greek soldiers,
and told him to take his choice in a
heap Of corpses of all creeds and
colors.
But at once the most curious and
the most common touch of comedy
is the perpetual social introduction to
solid and smiling citizens who have
been nearly hanged by the Turks. The
fortunate gentleman seems still to be
regarding his escape with broad
grin. If you were introduced to a
polite Frenchman who had come
straight from the guillotine, or to an
affable American who had only just
vacated the electrical chair, you would
feel faint curiosity about the whole
story. If friend introduced some
body saying. My friend Robinson;
his sentence has just been committed
to penal servitude," or MY Uncle
William, just come from Dartmoor
prison." your mind and perhaps lips
would family form the syllables What
for?" But evidently, under Turkish
rule, being hanged was like being
Knocked down by cab; it might hap

An Old

Mamselle Lisette Gutard was

Monsieur Castor Drouet wept too, I'M

twenty-one-fou years older than
Nam 'selle, nevertheless. Outside the
night air was fragrant with the odor
of hyacnths and jonquils, and the
moon shone as brightly as it always
shines in New Orleans in spring-Ihat

where else.
Mansele had stolen out of the

Robert and the four bridesmaids and
the ushers were busily rehearsing the

enormously rich, and 1t was to be

And. being only eighteen, she could
not help but feel thrill Of romance
in the sadness of the separation.

answered the little bride-to-be. "But

me much money and I shall make my
parents rich; poor parents, who have

"Lisette!" cried Uncle Henri from
the door "Where are You, little one?
Come! We are to have cakes and
wine"
For an instant CASTOR hesitated {;
then, with a despairing sigh, he
plunged through the hyacinths and dis
appeared into the darkness. Uncle
Henri came down the path.
"Psst! Cats!" he exclaimed, throw
ing a clod of earth in the direction Of
the retreating CASTOR. "Why do you
roam among the flowers so late, little
niece? All, it is the inspiration Of
Monsieur Thiboult! 1t Is love for
him! Never was any marriage so
happy!'
Mam'selle Lisette cast a glance Of
contempt at her uncle. but he Gid not

Electric Aia Purifier.

How many place. there are where
he natural air circulation is made
luate! RESTAURANTS for instance!
How often one enters them with
wee bit Of appetite, only to have that
wee bit reduced to none at all. by the
close and stuify atmosphere of the
place. Not only that, but the cook
ing doors are all too apparent. In
other words, the place is so Smelly"
that appetite dwindles instead of be-
ing whetted. and even though the food
Is good, the appetite is lacking. Is
there any remedy for the close and
stuffy conditions Of so many restau-
rants?
There is the electric air purifier
that costs no more to operate than
an electric fan, and it removes air i'm
.pnrities and approximates outdoor con-
ditions, SO there is pleasant, stimulat-
ing tang in the atmosphere. It is valu-
able in kitchens, offices, Easements,
smoking rooms and theaters-whereve
the air conditions are apt to be bad

AUTUMN SALON
IN PARIS OPEN
TO ALL SCHOOLS

Paris.-The autumn salon which
has opened its 14th exhibition pro-
claims that it is open to all form
ulas" and it has proved it by Civ
ing publicity to schools or CraZes
like, Cubism' Futurism and Dada
ism. Extreme examples of these
practices. however, are not pTomi-
nent in this years new salon, Soci-
etc National des BeauX Arts, which
strikes a note of modernity and of
living effort that contrasts with
the museum-like effect produced by
the older salons.
The effort is made to embrace
every branch of art in addition to
painting and sculpture. There are
sections for books. music, the dance
and fashions, the latter showing the
latest creations of celebrated dress
makers.
This year two new sections have
been added, those of moving pic
lures and the theatre.
One room is devoted to a striking
show of Russian art, another for a
group of Belgian artists. American
work, including exhibits by so art
lists is placed with that of the others
in general, as it would be difficult
TO give a room to each of the 81
countries represented.
No special picture has estab-
lished itself as the picture of the ex-
hibition. There has been more talk
and more printed about a picture
that is not on show, because the
jury refused it. than about any
other.
This rejected work is a portrait
of Miss Maria Ricotti. an actress,
one of the five portraits. sent in by
KEGS van DoDgen, whose portrait
of Anatole France was striking
feature of the last New Salon.
Judged by the reproductions in the
press, this portrait was ruled out
as being too normal TO represent
Van Dongen. The dress is black
and so gives no room for the Dutch
painters striking color power. and
the eyes seem almost natural in
size instead of occupying a third of
the face as usual with this artist.
Another picture which the crowd
is making sure of seeing is Francis
Picabias Hot Eyes" which has
also had the distinction of wide re-
production. Two ConcentriC circles
with circumference outlined in
color, occupy the upper half of the
canvas. a hand is outlined below
and a small circle with certain
mathematical lines are placed be
tween. Various things are written
in paint across the canvas, muth as
lesser artists inscribe sentiments ON
walls.

months ago, has another work OF

reason. The Cacodyiate Eye
