of young reporter of the staff OF
an English newspaper published in
that city.
The young reporter. possessing
that amount of knowledge of
French which is considered danger

Sir Ernest needed something to dis

the young man wrote, "Sir Ernest
CasSel. the well-known chevalicr d.

staying at the Hotel-" This char
acterization, though composed OF words
ordinarily ascribing honor ar knight

Russian Princess Instrumental in

That Was In Favor Long Ago.

1t was the fashion little time ago
10 think scornfully of the woodwork
screens. the paper flowers or the wax
figures made by the women of the
past, but now they are eagerly sought
and added to collections of articles
illustrating home life.
History repeats itself, and to this
busy athletic age has come wave of
the old finger-work fashion. Lately
it was pictures made with feathers,
now it is little figures made from
rags. These last were the idea OF
Nine. Wolkoff, nee Princess Trou-
betskoy, formerly of the Russian i'm.
perial court, when at Petrograd.
where the little figures were sold for
the benfit of Russian soldiers. Since
Nine. Wolkoff has been in England
she has modelled little statuettes of
well-known people, all in character
istic attitude and lifelike appearance.
Odd pieces of rag have been uanipu-
lated to make these charming little
figures, which vie with the paper mod
cling and the wax groups of the past.

GHoSTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend of the City of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends of the
City of Mexico has to do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street o. the Two
Idlers). According to the story there
was a beautiful girl, Dona Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo Y Vezca. who lived on
the street and was beloved by two
men. one young officer and the other
a young merchant. After the custom
of the land at that period (about 1650)
they indicated their love by standing,
one at each corner of the block. until
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without 1t
becoming known to her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unbeknown to the suitors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting in vain. The day after
they stood and the day after that,
week after week, month after month
and year after year. They at last
died, still on their posts. and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night,
cloaked and CHASTITY, in the darkeS
shadows of the streets

PROVIDE BATH FOR POULTRY
Chickens Cleanse Themselves by Wal

Chickens never wash, as many other
birds do, but cleanse themselves by
Nallowing In soil Where board or
cement floors are used in the chicken
honse. some means for busting should
be provided during the winter months,
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. For
a flock of 80 to so fowls dust box
8 by . feet or by feet will generally
be found large enough. and should he
placed where 1t can be reached by sun
light during as much Of the day as
possible.
Fine, light. dry dust Is the best kind
with which to fill the box. but sandy
loan Is good, Road dust is recon.
mended by many. but II Is apt to be
filthy. Coal or wood ashes may be
mixed with the soil If desired.

CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS
Many Of alternating Species May Be
Destroyed in Winter BY Clean
ING Up Obscure Corners.

Much can be done now to reduce the
possibility of insect plaques next
summer II little effort is directed to-
ward the destruction of insect shelter
areas. Around the grounds and gar
dens, under hedges, beside bitches, and
in fence corners are punches of insect
sheltering weeds or grass. BY the
time cold weather approaches many
kinds of insects in the adult or Imma-
ture stages have taken full advantage
of these hooks and hidden away there
for the winter. The bureau of ento-
mology, United States Department of
Agriculture, says that II these spots
are cleaned up and the refuse cut and
burned. many of these alternating in
sects win be destroyed and the dam
age from such pests during the com
ing season will be materially lessened.

mails. This is a large toll when d.

the barn, or an epidemic spreading in
to his herd, the loss is sometimes disas-

Of the case is that probably three
fourths of the loss could be prevented.
Five Causes Of Disease.
There are five principal causes of
disease and death Of farm animals -
contagious diseases. sporadic disease,
parasitic troubles, accidents and neg
lect. Contagious diseases can be
avoided or at least their consequences
greatly diminished, if farmers will
learn to cooperate with the United
States Department of Agriculture and
tary authorities, who are striving to
maintain animal health. Farmers
should report promptly to the nearest
officials any suspicion of the presence
Of contagious disease, and they should
observe carefully all regulations in re-
gard TO quarantine. sanitation, and

contagion.

scourges among animals ana 1t thrives
best in damp, dark. ill-ventilated sta.

well-yentilated stables and dry, clean

peat the layers until all the waste has
been disposed Of and then cover the
whole with a layer of earth.
If II is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material
emptied into the hole thus made. This
is convenient for the suburban home
where there is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap is well mixed with fork and
the compost is ready to be spread on
the garden plot The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile.
The process may be continued indefi-.
nitely by simply adding enough
manure to insure heating. Compost Is
especially valuable for use in hotbeds
