"But she's weak- ening on Earl Haig; she says she doesn't want to cverao her repara- tion." "Overdo what?" Peter laid down a monkey wren& and stared at his sis- ter's flushed cheeks and tousled curls. "I don't know, and if she'll only leave Earl Haig alone 7 don't care. He'll weigh a.good twenty-five pounds' by Thanksgiving." "Beats me," said Peter. "There's a joker somewhere." , "It isn't like Aunt Dell to be so se- cretive, but I've got to hurry. I do need a pair of wings this day." Later Ma erdered Peter to round up the three pullets that the Wyandottes bad brought off -so early. .

Prance has again refuted the eharge that she is militaristic by commencing to transform her powder factorlaseinto industrial plants not allied with war, says a Paris despatch. The largest 'munitions plant in Toulouse is being adapted to the manufacture of phos- phate, fertilizer and ammonia through the extraction of nitrates from avail. able powder suppliee. Even the French War Minister lias approved the plan, although he has in- sisted on holding some of the factories in case of emergency. In this he was pupported by Gen. Mangle, w.ho assert- ed that until universal peace is really establielied it would be unwise to throw away the sword without even turning it into a ploughshare, The 'present planis to maineabt several small plants, which will be devoted to the manufacture of guncotton, in which form it can be preserved until needed.

Ten dollen' worth of shrubs well placed about a beim, may mean sev- eral hundred dollars' difference in the sale value, especially if the buyer happens to have his wife along. These bare exteriors tell a pitiful story; they tell lazily too plainly that the people within those walls, especi- ally the women, are worked to depth for the lack of modern conveniences Which they could well afford to have, and are so worn out with the duties within doors that they have no time nor energy left to enjoy their Worth- while opportunities. Nealy everyone of those tell -tate yards advertises to all who pass by, that the man dwelling there is not giving the proper ton- sideeation to the comfort of his wo- men folks. Given the leisure and the strength almost any woman will seek to beautify her surrounding's. It is one of her chief joys. If she be de- prived of it, she is deprived of one of the greatest joys of living in the coun- try. If more attention were paid to this, there would be fewer wives nag- ging their husbands to sell the place and inov,e to town, and there would be Snore children anxious to stay on the farm. The month of July is a good time to form an estimate of the value of shade. You have heard- of the man who never shingled his house because he could not do it when it was rain- ing and he did not need it when it was dry! We do not need shade in the early spring or the late fall, when the season is right for planting trees, and consequently db not think of it. When the sun as scorching them in midsummer, people make solemn re- solutions to plant shade trees the next spring and then' forget all about it when spring arrives. August is a good time to make an inventory of your shade and that of your neighbors, Observe the best shade trees of your ,section; see what kind they are, and decide where they ought to be located. Than put them down on your docket to be ordered next Febreary. Do not put it off because you are afraid they will not grow up An time to do you any good. They will be a good size befpre you realize it, If they are needed, plant them; even if you cannot get the benefit of their shade the next fellow g willand he is a refil man who con- siders this next fellow, since earlier tree planters have benetted him.. Reminders for Mothers. Why should -babies be weighed? Be- cause it is one of the best ways bY which the steady thriving of an infant can be ascertained. How often should children be weigh. ed? Every week regularly until the end of the first' year. Once 'a' month until the end of the second year. Once every three months until the twelfth year, or thereabouts. • Twice a year after that. If a baby loses weight it shows there is something wrong, probably with its diet If it loses weight during three successive weeks, •a doctor should be consulted. Loss of weight at any per- iod of childhood is always is serious matter, and should never be allowed to continue without ascertaining the cause. The Vines already g:ven for weigh- ing apaly to children in health. Deli- cate babies or children may need to be weighed inore often. Always weigh at the seine hour each week or mouth. Always weigh before a meal, and the same weight of cloth- ing at won at peevious weighing, or Id this cannot be done, then weigh tbe extra clothes separately, otherwise accuracy of increase in Weight cermet be arrived at. Remember that accuraty as to even half ari eunco is important where babies are concemed. Beim in mind, too, that there should always be an increase in weight evety Weelc deting the first year; Even standing st 11 in weight, tholigh not leeleg weight, is a matter that needs look- ing into at once, especially during the first year. Do not trust to inettoey at these weighing times. Always keep a little book, arid in this write down each child's age, with the elate and result of each weighirtg. Care of a Pat'ent's Bed. If possible, use a atingle bed in the sick room. If this is not convenient, be sore that there ave no broltee eprings or missing tasters and that the mattress is Boat and comfortable and fits the becleerell. ,Place the bead of the bed straight againet the wall, hot too near the window bet near enough te irieure a free circuletion of fresh air.

To raise a patient in bed, have him flex his knees so that his feet rest firmly on the bed. With one hand grasp him firmly under the arm near- est you, and while you raise him from the bed, adjust the pillows with the other hand. Always work swiftly. The String Trick. }Meets a tr:-cic that is startling and puzzling, :but so simple that with a little preparation any girt can do At. The performer places her hands to- gether in froat of her, holding the palms against each other and the fingers flat. She then allows her wrists to he bound together with is handkerchief. A string is passed be- tween her outstretched arms and be- hind the handlcerchief that binds her lyrists; both ends of the string are held by some one who stands faeina the performer. In full view of the spectators the perfortaer gets the string out from behind her wrists without removing the handkerchief that binds them, and while her assist- ant is till holding the two ends of the string. When her wrists have been tied with the handkevehief and the string has been passed between her outstretched arms, the performer moves away from the person who holds the ends of the string until she has preesed the string down tight againststhe handkerchief that binds her 'wrists. Then she steps forward a pace or two and allows the string to slacken a little. With bet teeth or with her fingees she takes hold of the string and pulls it througli the handkerchief—that is, between the handkerchief .and the inside of her wrists. When the loop thus made is large enough:, she slips it over one of her hands and asks her assistant to pull steadily on the etring. When the assistant pulls, the string slips be- tween the laandkerelnef and the outside of the performer's wrist; the loop of the s-tring falls to the floor without her removing the handkerchief apd with- out the assistant's letting go the ends of the string. The best way to practice is to got the things and work on them with these directions An front of you; in that way the simplicity of the trick will be steongly impressed upon you. A Drop of Water.

My troubles were a sorry pack; They clung like care upon my back. Ana there was Doubt, a dubieus thing, And there was foolish Fretting; And there VMS Sorrow, with its eting, And hollow eyed Regretting, • A -grievous brood to bear along When all the air was fliled with song. Then came I to the wide free ereat With naught but sky above me; A soothing wind nip Omsk. caressed; Mo -thought it seetned to love me; And there breathed upward from the earth The fragrant messages of mirth. And seeing far below me roll Tee land's so green and spacious, Illy troubles lifted from nix soul, And life again grew grecious. And so I trod the downward road Without a trouble for a load! At the End of the Old Brown Road.

French Politeness Outlives War. Even after five years of war strug- gles and eighteeu months of past war worry the instinctive politeness of the average. Frenchman still survives. This was evidenced In a small patis- serie where M. Anatole France, the illustrotts French author, casually drops in tor his afternoon tea and cake whenever he visits tbe capital. All of the tables were occupied, but the waiter recognized the visitor and with „chatacteristidally excited gesticula- tions insisted that M. Anatole France fait for Met one minute. Approaching two men seated at a comfortable table, the knight of the naipkin, ignoring the appeals of the author, whispered to them. "May have emir table for M. Anatole France of the Academie Franchise?" There was no healtancy shown by the two Part:diens. 'They 1.ose, bowed to the writer and departed. One, how- ever, remarked to the waiter as he paid his bill: "You are right Helm in France, from the President to the tearoom waiters, the world of letters mutt be• honored." Then Fether Spurted.
