Thrifty Ways: Please give direc- tions for making a rug out of small pieces of Brussels carpet. Cut the carpet into strips three inches in width, then ravel, rejecting the linen foundation threads and •sav- ing those of crimped woolen yarn. The woolen threads should be of uni- form length. With a pair of the largest size steel knitting -needles (or a ecmilar size in wood or celluloid) and at ball of Catton carpet yarn, cast on ten stitches and knit two rows for the beginning, In the next row, lay a thread of the w001 across the needles, with every other stitch. After knotting the st:iteh, take the end of wool which shows upon the wrong side, and turn it toward the right side, knitting a stitch to secure It. Then put in enother thread of wool and repeat the process. The back of the strips will have an appearance somewhat like that of body Brussels carpet, bile the front will resomble thick, long -napped plush. Make strips the desired length and when all are finished they must be sewed together on the wrong side. It is only for convenience that they are knitted in strips—the rug, as a whole, would be very cumbersome and unwieldy to !handle. :ilig'h School 'Girl: Following is a description of an autumn party which contains ideas that you might use to advantage in planning your evening's fu A "Red Ear Party" is what they called it in the in -Mations.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON OCTOBER 19. Jesus In Peter's Ilome—Mark 1: 29- 39. Golden Text, Luke 19: 9. "Simon's wife'.: another." There is another reference to Peter's wife in 1 Cor. 9: 5. Flee mother was evidently a beloved and kindly member of the, family. Her first act when she •was, healed of the fever, was to minister to 1 her daughter's guests. Luke (4: 88) calls her sickness "a great fever." There was much marshy land in 'that region, especially' where the river Jordan enters the lake, and malarial fever was common. No doubt the healing ministry of Jesus entered many another home besides that of Peter. He is still the great Physician, teaching by His spirit, tare and thought for all who suffer, and prompting the gentle ministry of doc- tor and nurse in the homes and hospi- tals of our land. "At even." When the sun set, ac- cording to their way of reckoning time, the Sabbath day was over. It was then lawful for them to carry their sick through the streets and bring them to the door of the house in which Jesus was staying. "He healed many." Such was the scene at the close of this busy day. The people lingered until darkness drove them to their homes. sibee, they travelled through the lands of the Rosman Empire, and far to the East, ever seeking to bring the gospel to the next towns and into the region*. beyond. "0, with what divers pains they met 0, with what joy they went away!' Many forms of sickness in the East to tho present day, are regarded as caused by the presence of evil spirits, and especially insanity and epilepsy Jesus was profoundly interested in these poor sufferers, and restored many of then( to sanity and health both 01 body and mind. Our mission- aries in the East follow the example of Jesus, and they'find through atten- tion to the sick and through the agency of hospitals and dispensaries an open door to the hearts of the peo- ple. Their ministry, liko Hie, is in preaching, teaching, and healing. "In the morning." Although the Sabbath had boon a busy day, and its aotivitles prolonged until after sun- set,—yet Jesus was awake in the early. orning, and seeking a quiet place of THE TRAPPER. About Escaping.

The big fur ]rouses are always ad- vertising that they want good coon pelts and drill pay good prices for them. Every year- boys make good pocket money trapping for this mem- ber of the animal kingdom, and if you are a novice at the game, here are a few suggestions about coons and coot trapping: Coons live either in hollow trees or in holes, when no trees can be found. They are frequently found in corn- fields, too. They are possessed of groat curiosity that often leads them into traps; for instance, a shiny piece of tin, a bright piece of glass, or a piece of white crockery frequently acts as a fascinating lure. Many trappers use these to bait traps set in shallow water of streams that the coons fol- low. When you find a coon in a tree you may either shoot him or trap !nim. The way to trap him is to place your trap on a study sapling, cover it with moss or leaves, thele place the sapling against the tree. If there are a num- ber of coon's in a hollow tree a good smoker will get them out where they can be shot. Along streams, any hollow log, Mellow stump, old boulder with a hole in it makes a good place to set your coon trap. Coons like to eat fish, clams, craw- fish, birds, eggs, poultry, fruits and vegetables. They axe particularly fond of grapes and corn and are some- times caught in great numbers in cornfields and vineyards. If you plan to make your sets its either of these places, gdo along the forces until you find coon tracks that show where the coots go through the fence. There set your traps. Cover them over with dirt. Sprinkle fish scent .around. Along stream beds•that have high banks arc} 'shallow water it is a good plan to dig a number of -holes ,into the banks at the water edge. They should be from six to eight inches deep. In the back of the holes fasten a piece o1 bait. In front of them, under water, set your trap. ssee Many men have never set foot in a schoolhouse since dheir boyhood.

Fall Dairy Ob..ervations. Before allowing the cows to begin on the accumulation of the season's crops, why not know if they are the kind of cows that can pay their board. Many farmers lose money in the dairy business by spending most of the year in growing feed to bo used for a herd that is not producing a paying amount of milk, But be sure that there is nothing wrong with the method of housing and feeding the cows before they are dis- carded as boarders that do not pay noir bills. Much depends on the owner of the cows and sometimes good cows produce much less than they should because they are given poor care. Cows are often considered machines which can be stuffed with- raw ma- terials without limit and then produce a finished produet to which there ds also no limit. This is not exactly right. A machine is without life and feeling but a cote is an animal with a highly developed nervous tempera- ment that responds or fails to respond according to the treatment received. That is why some farmers these much better with cows than other farmers. The successful breeders study thole sows as individuals and try to keep them contented and satisfied and free from abuse. They know that there is more to dairy management than "stuffing the machine." Shouting around around the stables will dis- turb cows and reduce the flow of milk. A clog that is not 'well trained will bring the cattle to the ,barn on- the run or worry them all the way from the field.
