' ' At the theatre, perhaps more than at any other public place, people are conspicuous for lack of consideration -tfor others. . By coming In late and obliging others to gather up their be longings and rise to allow them to pass, they often cause their neigh- .bors to lose several lines of the play. '"Sometimes they lengthen the annoy ance by standing before their seats while they remove wraps, etc., thus - completely eclipsing the view of the stage for those behind. It Is a much more convenient Dlan to check mat before going to seats. Hats may be cteckea also; if not, they should be removed immediately after seating oneself. Of course, if one Is very late one may considerately remain at 5e back of tne theatre until the act ever before seeking one' seat; and, indeed, at some concerts this Is a rule insisted upon by the manage ment. Who of us,' when in the the atre, has not been at some time made most uncomfortable by selfish neighbors on either side lolling upon both arms of one's chair, or by some one behind beating time against the seat, or possibly resting his feet in the opening of it; by whispering er by the continued rattling of a pro gram? Then often there is the odious habit of incessant conversa tion of those near by people who insist upon explaining the entire play, saying who is to be the villain, who is to marry whom, etc., or possibly we are bothered by some very foolish persons who pay for seats at the play and then converse all through Its per formance upon various outside topics. It almost goes without saying, that stamping the feet to testify applause is in very bad taste, hand-clapping being the proper way of expressing approval; that nibbling bon-bons at the theatre is not permissible; that one should never remove one's gloves, and that only vulgarians ever Indulge in gum-chewing anywhere. Pittsburg Press. Novel English Entertainment. A new form of entertainment which has been very popular in London this season is known as "wallflower balls. " It provides games rand competitions for pretty dancers who, owing to the dearth of men, are obliged to sit out for a portion of the evening. The old term of "wallflower" has lost its original slgnlflcence of dis grace, the manager of an "entertain ment bureau" said yesterday. Girls are well aware nowadays that that it is very improbable that their pro grams will be filled, and the large ma jority of dancing girls over dancing men makes the position of the hostess a difficult one. An energetic society hostess who was troubled last season by noticing a number of charming girls standing around her hospitable ballroom, has organized a series of "wallflower balls" for the early spring. The ballroom, as usual, will be de voted to dancing. There will be a music room, where the guests who are fond of good music can enjoy quarter of an hour's concerts during the even ing. A palmist and crystal gazer will peep into the future from a tent in the hall. A paper-flower competition will occupy one room. Each com petitor Is asked to pick out a reel of wire, a bunch of foliage, and a hand ful of paper flower petals, and en deavor to produce an artistic Bpray of flowers. Frizes will be awarded for the best results. Ladles' billiard competitions will be held in the billiard room, nnd a room will be reserved 'or bridge. Coats are generally soutache and three-quarters in length. . Shoes partly or all of suede are to be the swell street footwear. Bands of plain material are to trim the suit of mixed material. There never was a year when well cut corsets were In greater demand. A stunning long coat of oyster gray broadcloth is shown among the new Imported frocks. Browns, especially in the soft leath er colors, are used for entire suits and for trimmings. Nearly every display of hats in cludes one model with the Frenchy dome-shaped crown. Some of the daintiest of lingerie frocks are made of the fine French convent embroideries. Many hats have ruffles of lace sewn inside just where the crown and the brim are fastened together. The stole and the pelerine effects are as good for thef gllgee as they are for the dressy afternoon cos tume. A quaint "spencer" waist is made of old fashioned cretonne big dull blue and red flowers on a cream ground. Such stripes as will become popu lar will be of the nondescript variety, almost invisible, 'and yet set against a dark background. Filet lace all over the blouse and sleeves of a colored gown, but appear ing nowhere else on the gown, gives an unusually pretty effect. There is no place where the scarf shows to better advantage than as a part of the tea gown. Soft liberty drapes jprettlly for this purpose. All ftdlnty, fluffy materials for the dress hat, mallnes, chiffons, delicate, filmy laces, soft-woven, open braids, filet and Brussels net will be in style. uquseww: worn n Stained Woodwork. Many houses have highly varnished yellow pine. If the woodwork is gone over with ammonia and immediately covered, with a stain," a beautiful dull finished wood is the result in any color desired. Olive . green, black, brown or silver gray are all suitable. For $10 a large dining room can be thus stained by a painter, including the shutters, and the change is decid edly worth the outlay. A blue and green dining room is a delightful combination. There are quite a num ber of most artistic English papers with this combination of colors, and with green stained woodwork and mahogany furniture, a delightful room may be evolved. Indianapolis News. Care of the Lamp. To prevent a lamp from smoking soak a new lamp wick two or three hours In vinegar. Dry well before using. Lamp wicks In lanterns or carriage lamps that are not in dally use should be treated In this way. Oil in lamps should not be allowed to get down to less than one-half the depth of the reservoir. The wick should be soft and com pletely fill the space for it, but with out crowding. A lamp should be neither suddenly cooled, nor exposed to draught. In extinguishing the flame the wick should be first turned down, and then a sharp, quick puff blown across and not .straight down upon the flame. New York Press. How to Cook Rice. Few housewives understand how to cook rice so that it puffs into a snowy mass, each kernel distinct. I have found a way. First wash it thor oughly through several cold waters, rubbing the kernels between the hands. This is to remove all the loose flour on the outsldo of the grains. After the water runs clear, turn the rice into a colander, and drain; then put it into a stewpan, al lowing one quart of boiling water to a cup of washed rice. Add a tea spoonful of salt, and allow it to come to a boil. Cook steadily for twenty minutes, lifting the rice occasionally with a fork to prevent its sticking. Shake the kettle also for the same purpose, but never stir or mash with a spoon. Take it lrom the Are, pour off the water If any is left, and place It on the back of the stove, in the oven, or even over a pot of hot wnter until It finishes swelling. Cooked in this way you will find the rice plump, light and white, each grain distinct and separate. M. N., In Harper's Bazar , Ture Water. To purify water add powdered alum to the water in the proportion of one teaspoonful to every four gal lons. If you will stir this In briskly you will find that all impurities will be precipitated to the bottom, while the rest of the water will be left pure and clear. If you are sitting at a desk or sew ing steadily for hours at a time it is well to rise occasionally, stand erect, inhale a full breath and raising both hands as high as possible, bring them down on. top of the head and bend backward. Repeat two or three times and you can not imagine how much it will rest you. Better than a tray is the llttlo drop leg sewing table which is high enough for the top to rest across the bed while an invalid is eating. Turn back the legs on one end of the table, allowing the others to rest on the floor, supporting some of the weight. This gives ample room to spread out the dishes and the table being rather light the weight is not noticeable. It can be propped at one end With a pil low. New Haven Register. i Cranberry Pic.

The Cow That's Needed. The cow that is needed by the far mer is one that will return to him the greatest value of product in re turn for the value of the food given her and labor expended upon her. These returns mny be made in milk, calf or in beef either all combined or singly. Sentiment should find no place with the farmer and the cow that can't "deliver the goods' should be given her walking papers Immedi ately. It's the profit that the farmer is after and nothing el. Weekly Witness. Cnrc of Sheep. No farmer should keep sheep be cause they are scavengers and can pick off a large share ot their food from scanty herbage. Such sheep must bo active to travel over large spaces In order to find subsistence. Success Is assured only when the far mer is willing to use breeds that give large carcasses and which respond quickly to care and attention. It is only the labor, after all, that makes profit, but labor must be bestowed on the best to bo had. To expect sheep to pay without the investment ot labor is to sacrifice profits. The Epltomlst. Weil Planned Cow Stall. I do not like stanchions of any kind. I think they destroy the nat ralness of the cows and they trouble each other a great deal, besides often treading upon each other. The only point In favor of stan chions is that they take up less room, but I believe the Increase In milk is a reward for allowing more space and convenience to each cow. The cut shows the kind of stall which I prefer, writes a correspon dent of the Missouri Valley Farmer. The rack, a, is of hardwood thirty Inches high, with the slats wide enough so cow can thrust her nose through up to her eyes. The bottom of the rack Is eighteen Inches wide, extending Into the stall toward the cow. The feed box, b, slides through an opening in the stall on the barn floor. It can be drawn into the feedway, cleaned out and a hew' feed put in without being disturbed by the cow. The halter strap, c, is just long enough to allow the cow to lie down comfortably. The gutter, d, Is eight inches lower than the stall floor. When she lies down she will put her head under the rack in kneeling and when she gets up she will move back ward so that she can look through the rack. The length and width of the stall can be made to suit the cows. ' Apply Manure Often.. A little manure applied often bears just the same relation to the benefit of our land and crops as mois ture applied at Intervals throughout the year. We would not want a del uge of water once a year and noth ing between times. And the point of this is that to use the manure in a way so as to get the most benefit out of it we must spread it as fast as it is made practically throughout the year to our growing crops and hay land. There is always some part of our land that needs an occasional ap plication of manure. I believe that .every reader of The Epltomlst will support me in the statement that ma nure applied to the land as quickly as made is worth at least six times as much in increasing crops as that which has lain in the barnyard until all the plant food has been leached and burned out of it, and yet it takes Just as much time and labor to dis tribute this almost worthless stuff as It does to haul it at its best. Let's apply the manure just as soon as it is made, if possible. It's our gain. William H. Underwood, in the Agri cultural Epltomlst. Mr. Sanders' Workshop. Every farm needs a small work shop, where all kinds of small repair jobs can be done, thus saving much time and expense. We built ours on the side of the barn and made it long enough for both shop and woodshed. It is only ten by twelve. But I would not know how to get along without It A door opens into the barn and an other opens in the opposite end ot the woodshed and go through into the shop and barn without going out In the storm, which we find a great con venience. I spend a good many pleas ant hours in this shop on stormy days, fixing harness, wagon or broken tools. - One does not need an expensive lot of tools, but he needs quite a variety a kit ot carpenter s tools, a good post drill, a small anvil, cold chisels, a set ot punches of all sizes to drive out broken bolts. A small portable forge Is very useful, but I prefer to have that in a small building by It self, as there Is too much risk in hav- Plan of Cow Stall. lng a fire near the barn. I have saved many a trip to the blacksmith's by having the proper tools to work with. Save all the old ,wagon tires as they are a fine thing to repair with valuable time, so we think a good shop pays good interest on the mon ey invested. For repairing harness we use copper rivets and burrs, and find them to give better service than any other kind we have ever tried, for they will stay as long as the leather lasts, and will not rust it out like steel ones. ' To set a loose box in a wheel, take the box out, lay a piece of an old -bag over the hub, then drive box, bag and all through, and it will run true and last for a long time. Once we broke a plow handle, when we were In a hurry to finish a field we wanted to plant next day. I took the plow to the workshop, cut off two pieces of old tire about the width ot the handle, drilled four holes In them, bolted one on each side. In less than an hour the plow was ready for use again, thus saving a trip to town that might have taken all the rest of the day, as one cannot always get a Job done as soon as you get to the shop. Several times we have broken the mowing machine and repnired it at home and saved much. J. A. Saunders, Rhode Isl and, in American Cultivator. Profit In Planted Forest. Both soil and climatic conditions in Illinois are favorable to tree growth, as it is well shown by the fact that over 180 species are found, and many introduced species thrive. Comparatively few species, however, those which will furnish posts or poles at an early age, can be grown on the better classes of soils in com petition with better farm crops. During a recent field season the Forest Service made a field study to ascertain the kinds of trees best adapted to planting in the prairie sections of the State. Over 100 plan tations were examined and more than 20,000 trees were measured as a basis for determining the rate of growth and the value of the planta tion. The yield of posts or poles per acre was computed for the planta tions examined, and conservative prices were assigned In order to find their present value. Detailed results and consequent recommendations are embodied in Circular -81 of the For est Service, "Forest Planting in Illi nois," which will be sent free upon application to the Forester, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Plantations vhlch show a net an nual Income at three per cent, of !4 an acre or more ave regarded as com mercially successful. Judged by this standard, the only species which would have paid throughout are ca talpa, with an average return of $5.18 per acre, and larch, with a re turn of $4.38 per acre. With catalpa, ten plantations out of fifteen whose products wer com puted have paid more than $1 per acre, while two of these have paid $9.35 and $16.70, respectively. Though the average Indicated return from catalpa is but little more than that from larch, It is often prefer able to plant catalpa. It grows a trifle faster, can be utilized for posts and poles at a smaller size, and its wood is more durable. Besides ca talpa will grow well on ground that is too wet for larch, or which is flooded so often that success with farm crops is uncertain. Indiana Farmer. A Corn Harvester. An Iowa reader describes this two row home-made cutter which he says pulls easier than a shed cutter: "I used a four by tour for an axle, and bolted a two by four to this axle two and a half to three feet apart, and let It run out twelve Inches on tho rear side. Board this over for a platform. For runners at the front end I took runners from an old Key stone planter and fastened them from about six or seven Inches from the rows of corn. For knives I took two the bottom so as to have them run blades oft an old stalk cutter. The platform may be either nailed or bolted down. The wheels are old planter wheels. On the table I have a buck fastened to the platform so one can sit or lean upon it when tired. Below this I have a pall large enough to hold a ball of binder twine. As soon as I have an armful ot corn it is compressed with the device shown and tied ready fdr putting in the shock." Hydroplane Motor Boat.
