Heating screws in the same way will make them come easily. —Don't crowd the hens into a small space. If the house is only large enough for a dozen hens, keep but a dozen hens. —Do not leave rubbish about the roots of trees whose bark is still smooth and tender. The rubbish is a barhor for mice. ~Do not pile manure close around tree trunks. It makes a fine harbor for mice ; later they will gnaw the bark and kill the tree. — Young trees that are standing in or near grass should be protected from mice by wrappers, otherwise the loss may be very heavy. ~The ventilator in the top of the poul- try house, which permits the air to drop down on the heads of the fowls, is a bad thing. darkened and feed all they will eat for three weeks. They will make big and profitable gains. SS —Sell the cockerels and keep some of the old cocks aod hens for breeding stock. They give stronger and better chicks than mat- ings of young birds, —Do not set ont an orchard of any kind on virgin soil. It should be tilled for some years before being given over to the mse of fruit trees. ~ =—Don’t leave the plows or other farm machinery exposed to the weather. A lit- tle ordinary care row will save money and ~ trouble in future. ~ —Grape vines can be pruned any time ~ alter the leaves have fallen. Frequently ~ mo farther protection is needed than to lay . the vines on the ground. They should be ~ pruned first. —We recently saw a traction engine in a peach orchard pulling out old trees. ‘They ~ were cut off at the crotch--a obain fastened to the top, and the shine walked off with thew o a man would pull upa tomato . vine —Winter is a good time to break the eolt. Other work does not press, and the ~ colt is now used to the halter. Be careful ~ about having the boys about ite heels, how- ever. Keep in front of the animal as far as possible.— Farmers’ Review. ~ -=To destroy gophers, dissolve stryoh- ~ nine in water, to which a little vinegar bas been added. Soak corn in this and place ~ three or four kernels down all the holes. ~ Repeat every few days until you have the pest eradicated. —It is daring snowstorms and cold ~ winds entering the barn that young colts, pigs and calves are checked in growth. A ~ night's exposure in a cold barn may not harm an adalt, although even in that case ~ the animal may suffer, but the young ones will feel the cold severely. The important matter is to see that all cracks and crev- ives are closed. It is sometimes the case that a small stream of air will cause all the animale to be uncomfortable. —Decide upon what is required in the garden and secure the seeds early. Begin- ~ ners ob a farm should set out fruit trees as ~ soon as it can be done. It is in the cuiti- vation of fruits and vegetables that the younger members of the family delight, ~ and when they become interested in soch ~ they will take more interest in general ~ farming. It is the routine of the farm ~ that is disliked. When the farm work be- comes more varied it is then less monot- ~ onous. © —Thunderstorms and Sour Milk.—A subscriber wants to know, says the Mis- “souri Agricultural College Farmer, why milk often sours more yuickly just after a ~ thunderstorm than during ordivary weath- er. The primary cause of sour milk is the ~ growth of certain bacteria that are alwa, © very numerous in the air and cannot kept out of the milk. These are most abundant doring damp, heavy weather, ~ which uanally accompanies thunderstorms, as such ie is particularly favorable to their development. Hence, the lar notion that thunderstorms make milk eour. —Confine the market poultry in a small | FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN Daily Thought. A good man and a wise man may at times be angry with the world,at times grieved for it; but be sure no man was ever discontent. ed with the world who did his duty init. Southey. Womankind bas gone daffy over the bangle ! Bangle beauty is to be had in any number of variations as to size, shape and decoration. While the bangle is usually round, it may be oval or square. These bangles take on yet more finishes than shapes. The emall round bangle with the plain bright finish is the most usual. But there's the polished finish. The faceted finish. The antique. The Roman. The rose, the red and the green finish. Then there are open-work cflects, which are mostly jeweled. The jeweled sorts are not confined to these, however. In some bangles they are set in solidly. Square, oo- tagoval and diamond-sha; jewels rival the more usual round and oval formas. There may be a single stone, or the brace- let may be jeweled all around. Perbape the most beautiful bangle is the engraved one. And the bell of the engraved ones is an exquisite affair. It took a skilled engraver over a day to put on the design, which is as delicate as it is distinot. It bas all the mellow look of an old brocade in the rare gold tint, and isa veritable chef d’oeuvre, This particular example could hardly Le improved by jewels. It is perfect. ther engraved examples are io Suen gold, rose gold and the gold that shows real red in its shadings. In the jewels diamonds, pearls and sap- phires are very prominent. A bandsome engraved bangle shows a sapphire in the centre, while small dia- monds at intervals keep up the sparkling adornment. Among the semi-precious stones the peri- 40 and aqua-marine are Bm sijvise. oe delicate transparent green e peridot is lovely. So is the clear blue eparkle of the aquamarive, marine water evidently being a very different thing from the Schuylkill brand. A square amethyst in a rose-gold bangle i» beautiful. Three small diamonds flank it on each side. A twisted-wire bangle shows a little love of a baroque pearl in each loop. On an- other pearls are alternated with turquoise. And so it goes, nearly all jewels being rep- resented. Some few bangles open aud shut on a spring, though by far the greater number are made to slip snugly over the band. Of the first-named sort there's the inter- esting bangle, with a secret lock, which, though it smacks of the fiercely jealous Oriental lover, is after the French fashion. This clever affair may he opened by thrust- ing a pin point into av almost invisible hole beside the lock. Should Mr. Man de- sire to make it impossibie for his inamorita to ever forget him, he simply has the thing soldered up. Jt is such a bore to be civil- ized that the efforts of designers who help walt ue back to heathenish practices s2ldom fail to win appreciation. Collar Holders --Though the S-shaped collar helder is attractive to look at,it does not approach the adjustable holder, which will instantly adaps itself to any height of collar. Mankind who is intent upon buy- ing the Coristmas gift feminine should take notice. In plain gold these holders cost $10 per pair. With a jewel at each end the cost may reach almost any sam. That means four big gems to a set. Among the loveliest new lorgnettes is that in a rose gold case. In some parts the rose is a rich, deep red. The designs are exquisite, the warm-hued shadings serving wonderfully to accentuate the flowers. These are beautiful enough without jewels. A single gem, or a num- ber of small diamonds serve with good el- fect, however. More of a novelty is the lorgoette with- outa case. Folded it looks like an Eog- lishman’s monocle with a handle attached. Open it shows two ‘‘eyes.”” This novelty in heavy gold settings costs $25 to $30, and though it may he new, light and conven- ient, it isn’t as handsome or decorative as the lorguette that comes in a case, which is bandsomely adorned. The muff chain season is upon us. A chainand bar in gun metal may be bad for $5.75. In gold they range from $40 to $50. Any lorgnette chain be used if only the bar be attached. Plain obains are rivaled by jeweled ones, there being but a link between jewels. Among these the ridot and the aquamarine stand first, the vor according with one’s favorite in a dress color. If perchance one wears neith- er green nor blue, but affects mauve, the amethyst is the choice. The topaz is love- ly with some shades of brown and yellow. Gold Beads.—S, are beautifully wrought vecklets which are designed to wear over the collar of one’s blouse. The novelties in gold are of such admirable designs as to rival the long fa- vored La Valliere. One of the simple and rich styles shows from three to eight strands of graduated beads, the largest being at the centre, front. Five strands give a very rich effect. The, gro all beld closely together and fit beauti- ally. Pear-shaped pendants are noted, too. They come in a number of des One necklace shows an even row. Others hoast festoon effects and are heavy or light, classic or modern, shailow or deep, according to the idea of the designer and the purse of the purchaser. Any person may be dazzled by a string of diamonds, but the fine work- mwavship on these gold bead arrangements appeals to the person of taste. There's al- ways something delightful, if not actually ancestral, about gokl beads. Though the simple Alsatian bow made of ribbon is the Alpha and Omega of feminine coiffare adorning, a useful little finish suit- able for young or old, morning or evening, mourning or feasting, there are notable elaborations which are more novel aod, Sige will Adit, more avackise. These are designed for receptions, dinners, dances and the opera. The materials range from tulle to feathers, and include velvet, lace, spangles, metal tissues, artificial flowers of exquisitely natural effests and all the airy- fairy flufls and feathers from which a finish- ing tonch may be evolved. The great thing is to bave the finished article dainty, hecoming and pretty, and— It must be shaped to accord with the form of the wearer’s head. And it isn't enough to have it becoming from the front. It must also be becoming from the sides and the back. peaking of chains there ; WHEN GAL «AD NEW, President of First Company Made “Daring” Experiment. Gas had as much difficulty in making its way in New York city apparently as did the steel framed skyscraper. In each case it required a man who had the conrage of his convictions to prove that it was safe, but when once it was shown that the benefits were greater than the dangers gas and skyscrapers took thelr places as necessities. In the rase of the skyscraper the designer had to convinee the owner, who had be- come somewhat fearful of the success of his venture because of the com- ments of his friends, by signing a lease for an office on the top floor for a 1505 tein of years, In the case of gas, wu it had been used in London ... wail American cities before it wo introduced into New York, Sam- uel Leggett, the president of the com- pany that proposed to bring the much feared illuminant into use here, had to prove its harmlessness in his own house, This was in 1823. His heroism attracted a good deal of attention and proved to be a good ad- vertisement, for hundreds if not thou- sands of persons visited the house to see the illuminant which was said to be 80 much better than candles and fish oil lamps. The house was in the up- town fashionable quarter of the city, on Cherry hill. It was at 7 Cherry street, only a few doors below the big, square Franklin House, in which Pres- ident Washington lived when New York was the capital, and near the ce!- ebrated Cherry gardens, It wus a nar- row, three story and attic brick struc- ture with two dormer windows. An abutment of the Brooklyn bridge now occupies the site, Stories of the explosive character of gas had spread without the aid of a press agent, and persons hesitated about having the pipes run through their houses, They were willing to have some one else make the experi- ment, however, and curious enough to visit the house of the venturesome one to see what happened. For the time being all roads in the evening seemed to lead to Mr. Leggett's house, Groups gathered outside in the darkened street to witness the process of “lighting up.” Many a couple from the other fashion- able quarter, State street and the foot of Broadway, gave up the evening walk along the Battery to wend their way up Pearl street in the moonlight to 7 Cherry sfreet to see the novelty. There were eager visitors from surrounding towns, Mr. Leggett was not averse to showing people how much better gas was than any other form of illuminant by taking them through the house. This fact, becoming known through- out the city, added to the number of visitors, and not infrequently when Mr. Leggett, basking in the light of no- toriety in his drawing room, saw faces peering in at him from the outer dark- ness he would go to the door and in- vite those without to come in. It was several years before the prejudice against gas could be altogether wiped ' out.—New York Tribune. Toughness of the Ant. } Ants are really very long lived, con. | | sidering their minuteness. Janet had | two queens under observation for ten years, and one of Sir Join Lubbock's ant pets lived into her fifteenth year. Ants are very tenacious of life after severe injury. Following loss of the entire abdomen, they sometimes live two weeks, and in one case a headless ant, carefully decapitated by aseptic surgery, lived for forty-one days. A carpenter ant after being submerged eight days in distilled water came to life upon being dried, so that ants are practically proof against drowning. They can live for long periods without food. In one case the fast lasted near- Iy nine months before the ant starved to death.—Scientific American. ——Suhsoribe for the WATCHMAN. “Sit down!” thundered the speaker. “I have tried vainly to catch your ‘aye’ several times when it was needed.”— Philadelphia Ledger. ——Take Vin-te-na and the good effect will be immediate. You will ges strong, you will feel bright, fresh and active, youn will feel new, blood coursing through your veins. Vin-te-na will act like magio, will pat new life in you.
