An Irish snake, something unknown
since the days Of st. Patrick, was found
in the city Of Dublin and was placed on

perfectly still. 1t was just then that
| Smarty Chipmunk heard a faint rustic
| just back Of him. He turned quickly.
There, close to him, was some one he
had never seen before, and the sight
OF whom now frightened him so that
he couldn't move. A pair of eyes
glared at him without blinking. They
were not very big eyes, but they were
the most cruel looking eyes Smarty
Chipmunk ever had looked into. They
were the eyes of Mr. Black Snake,
Now Smarty Chipmunk never had
seen Mr.. Black Snake before, but he
didn't need to be told that this was an
enemy. All in a flash it came over
him that mother had seen this dread
ful danger at first, and that had he
needed her warning he would not now
be sitting there so filled with terror
that he couldn't move. He wanted to
run, but he couldn't. He wanted to
| scream, but he couldn't. All he could
do was to sit there and stare at those
Elfttering, unwinking eyes of Mr..
Black Snake.
Mr.. Black Snake moved a bit nearer
That movement seemed to give back
to Smarty Chipmunk his voice and
the power to move. With a little
scream of fright he started to run.
But he was too late Mr.. Black
Snakes head shot forward like flash
and Smarty Chipmunk was seized in
a pair of wide-open jaws. He was
caught. Yes, sir, Smarty Chipmunk
was caught by Mr.. Black Snake. He
felt Mr.. Black Snakes sharp teeth.
They didn't hurt very much. for Mr..
Black Snakes teeth are small. But
| they did hurt.
Smarty tried to struggle, but it was
Of little use. Mr.. Black Snake glided
| away with him. Smarty gave up hope.
How he did wish that he had needed
mothers warning. How he did wish
he had been less sure that he was 50
smart. He knew that he hadn't a.
chance in the world to escape from
this dreadful enemy who had caught
him. A moment before he had been
having lovely sun bath: now he was
being carried away to furnish a din
ner for an enemy he hadn't even
known existed. He could hear Striped
Chipmunk and Mrs. Chipmunk CRYING.
He could hear the feathered people
| of the Old Orchard screaming. Never
since he had first put his head out
side the doorway of his home had he
heard such a racket
But all this noise didn't helm him
any. At least he didn't think it helped
him any. He was being carried away
in spite of it. and he had no hope
at all. But actually all that noise was
helping him. At least it was bringing
| help to him. Little Smarty Chipmunk
| was in a tight place. but it wasn't
quite as tight as he thought it was

Any one who has tried filet crochet
Will tell you that nothing can be
picked up, or dropped more easily,
than that dainty kind of fancy work.
1t is boon to those who seek beauty
and practically in garments. two
elements sought by every woman
who puts handwork into her gar
mentS. If a thing is not beautiful it
does not satisfy that something in
the heart of woman that has been
there since the beginning of time.
II 1t is not practical. her innate COM
mon sense rises and protests that it
is not worth the time and effort put
into it. Especially is this true if she
is one of the housewives or business
or college women to whom time is
a premium. Her so-called leisure"
hours are short and filled to over
flowing with little personal duties.
Yet to even the busiest there are
scattered moments throughout the
day when just the right task seems
not always at hand, nor to be found
on the inStant-that is. unless you
have some filet crochet handy.
1t can be made in fineness to SIM
ulate the needle point filet, and for
durability it is even better. Indeed,
it is an investment of time, wisely
made, to put ones moments to ac
count with a crochet hook and well
chosen pattern. 1t is usually the case
that filet crochet will outwear the ma
terial on which it is used and serve
as adornments for as many as two
or three garments that succeed each
other.
Most practical of all filet crochet.

for both trimming and marking. In

Very Slight Improvement.

When grandma was about thirty
she had half a dozen bad teeth and
a bad toothache every little while to
add to her trials. Her dentist was
not a bad dentist, but he would not
be considered a good dentist today.
However. he never had the chance
the dentist today has. for in grandma's
time the dentist was sort of a last
resort and conditions were pretty far
gone by the time a case came under
his care. Well, grandma had two or
three painful sessions in the dentists
chair, and then, partly from fear Of
the dentist, partly from desire to
be free of trouble and pain, and partly
from the commercial enthusiasm of
the dentist, grandma had all her teeth
extracted-of course, they were only
pulled in those days when pulling
was about a shilling a tooth or less
in wholesale quantities-and upper
and lower plates of false" teeth were
made. This meant an enormous eX
pense, often as much as SIS, but
grandpa was game and no doubt the
poor man was a little worn with the
long years OF anguish. If grandma
and the dentist were willing to sacri-
flee from IL to 20 sound teeth along
with the IL or 19 bad ones, grandpa
was in no position to protest, for no
doubt it seemed to him that all teeth
were doomed to decay shortly anyhow.
1t Is unnecessary to contrast grand
mas experience with the experience
of the average young woman Of to-
day. I merely want to raise the ques-
ton how come. And as this is my
corner and / am employed to fill it.

Fiet has a style of its own which

tractive. For nightgowns, step-inS,
chemiseS, etc, it has a variety of uses
and treatments to make it popular.
There are several ways Of finishing
the edges around a filet insert. One
of them is just to turn in a narrow
hem on the wrong side, as you would
in a square patch. Another is to
buttonhole the edges. The goods
should always be cut away from the
underside of a filet insert in order to
allow its lacy appearance to show
to best advantage. Also, filet looks
much more delicate when over skin
than over another fabric.

tain cases, such as ripenine fruit
when arsenical poisons are not advis-
able. hellebore may be used as a

ITO what class do all the plant lice
and mealy bugs and red spider and
scale belong?" I saked.
They are all sucking insects. as
well as the cabbage worms and cur
rant worms, and not all are killed BY
poison, but by direct contact. and for
this there is nothing better than kero-
sene, made into an emulsion with
water in the proportion of one-ffth
or onefourth kerosene.
II used too strong. it may iniure
the plants. but if sprayed on in fui'
sunlight the kerosene evaporate SO
rapidly that it does no harm.
In the warfare against all insect
victory depends on taking them bv
surprise and in the early stages of
their campaign. Their life historv
should be studied, and when their
habits are understood and their prob
able first appearance known MANY a
march may be stolen on them and
they are thus more easily routed and
destroyed"
Are all these remedies applied in
orchard work, Mr.. Burbank" I asked
Some of them" replied Mr.. Bur
bank, but in my own orchards spray
ing is very rarely used. as the main
object is to produce varieties that are
immune to insects and TO fungus, and
fruit trees should be selected, if posi-
Bile, that are more or less immune BY
those growing fruit.
Just as with human beings. pre-
vention is better than cure with plants
and trees. and if plants are kept in
healthful condition they are generally
less liable to be attacked by insects or
