they were good enough for daily wear,

and covered with the same on top.
This made an excellent mattress cover
and was tacked with stout cord to hold
the piecels in place.
The wool blankets were 'eut into as
large squares as possible for the
baby's bed and a crochet edge made
of yarn held the edges in place. The
sheets were torn unto large pieces and
hemmed, sometimes turned and whip-

just as big squares or pieces longer
than wide. The pillotiv slips were
opened and made into emergency

Insects as Inventors.
The diving -bell was invented eriglmm
any by the ordinary waterspider.
Thousands of years before human
beings thought of this device for visit-
ing the sea -bottom, the spider was in
the habit of using a bell made of silk.
It is thimble -shaped, and is anchored
to the weeds by silken threads, with
the opening downwards,
The water is expelled in a very in -
genions manner. The hairs on the
spiders body are long, with a hook at
the end. By means of 'these the insect
is able to surround itself with a cua-
hion of air. It dives into the water
and enters the bell, where it releases
fhb air. This process is 'repeated un-
til the bell .is full of air,
In the bell the female spider lays
her eggs twice a year, in the early
part of the summer and in the autumn,
The first batch' of eggs is hatched by.
the summer heat, end the little spiders
are soon building bells for themselves..
After laying the second batch of
eggs, the spider seals up the opening
in the bell, and waits for them to
hatch out when it becomes warm
again. While waiting, the spider is in
a state of unconsciousness.

And hold of dearest worth;
Light of the sapphire skies,
Peace of the silent Brills,

Music of birds, murmur of little rills,
Shadows of cloud that swiftly pass,
And after showers,

And when at last I can no longer move

From the green fields and waters

Let me not creep

hold could afford, but at once she saw
that patient and nurse could be spar
ed much discomfort by using the clean
old things. The little blanket to fol
round the patient's shoulders, the
small spread, the pad that was not in-
jured if medicine was spilled upon it,
the old soft pillow ease and the little
comforts for extra warmth all saved
the good things and were so soft and
confuting to tihe sick person.
If any young housekeeper is offered
old bedding by some relative who has.
kept house a long time she can do
nothing better than to renovate and
wash and salvage it at the first oppor-
tunity. Everything costs so much
nowadays that a chest full of old soft
bedding for sickness is worth a great
deal. Never discard an old quilt or
comfort or spread or blanket as use-
less, or use then for ironing boards
or dust rags or floor clolbhs as so many
do, but wash and save and patch' them
for sickness and you will be glad hun-
dreds of times that in time of health
you prepared for just such emerg-
encies by using material that at first
-sight seemed hopeless.

One of try neighbors had an old
porch that hard been screened in years

and immensely improved.
• This porch opens off the kitchen and
dining room; it has an entrance from
the front yard and one from near the
concrete -covered cistern.
When the porch was renio.deled,
glass doors were placed at these en-
trances; a new floor was laid and
painted a shade that does not easily
show soil; the side and 'both ends
were boarded up about two and a
half feet and celled;; window sash was
set in such a manner that half of
them may be slid ,behind the others
for ventilation and coolness; galvan-
ized screenwired was used, The
