ERDM A WOMANS VIEWPOINT
SUMMER BOARDERS.
By Mrs. Lucy A. B. Cliaae.
Nearly every farmer's wife has an
ambition to earn, and I believe one of
tbe most pleasant ways Is by taking
ummer boarders If you can secure
Congenial ones. My experience of two
vmmers has been a delightful one. I
believe part of the success Is due to
making our boarders feel that they are
pert of the family, unless their man
ners signify a superior feeling. A
landlady should know her place and
not become too familiar, for familiar
ity always breeds contempt.
Our boarders were strangers prev
ious to their coming Into our home.
Therefore the place and Us surround
ings were only pictured In the minds
by our deHcrlptlons. We aimed to
make everything plain, so there would
be no disappointment on arriving. I
try to arrange each day's menu to
please my guests, and as far as pos
' eible have everything homemade, for
such foods seem especially pleasing to
lty people.
Last year I kept cured hams until
the latter part of August by putting
them In a jar or tub In the cellar, and
covering snugly to keep files out and
bugs. Mould will form on the sur
face, but If rubbed with a cloth or pa
yer ouce a week It does not affect the
flavor of the meat.
Our home does not possess a dining
m, but by having screens or
losquito netting for the outside wln--.
-sow casings the windows may be re
moved on hot days, thus affording a
eool place to eat.
If there Is a baby In the home who
Steeps or walks, the mother will find a
pen made of slats fastened at top and
bottom to long strips of wood an ex
cellent place to keep him in while she
ti doing her work, for such toddlers
re most inquisitive little beings, and
If allowed too much freedom might
prove annoying to the boarders. On
pleasant days the pen could be carried
to the lawn.
Whenever a horse is not being used
always avail myself of the opportun
ity to give my boarders a ride. New

Woman Conducts a Mouse Farm.
A woman In western Massachusetts
makes a living at the unusual occupa
tion of mouse farming. Last year she
cold 8000 mice and rats for expert
' mental purposes. They were bought
by the laboratories for use in the study
of tuberculosis and various diseases.
lhe animals are artificially Infected,
and the results studied by observations
carefully recorded, Mice. are used In
greatest numbers at $15 . to $25 per
hundred. Rats sell for "about $25 per
bandied. The animals are kept in cag
es and the farm buildings. Bes1d.es
rats and mice the live stock includes
several hundred guinea pigs, and a
number of rabbits. Some of the 'anf
tnals arc of rare- breeds and are sold
for pets. .They are fed' on .grain and
vegetables, using several hundred dol
lars worth of oats yearly and several
tons of. carrots and other vegetables.
Guinea pigs are used In large numbers
In the laboratories for the manufacture
of anti-toxin, antidotes for the poison
which certain diseases create In the
system. American Cultivator.
How Annoying.
How annoying' It Is when baby care
lastly lets bits of bread and milk fall
upon the tablecloth! How Irritating it
la to see all one's oarsful Ironing re
duced to nothing so soon! It is, trying,
no doubt. But why not arrange baby's
place te prevent accidents? That la
easily done and without the assistance
of a homely tin waiter, too.
The least objectionable protector of
tablecloth Is made of two oblongs of
butcher's linen with an oilcloth Inter
lining. They may be sewed up Just
like' a pillowcase, If you prefer, or you
might like U19 Improvised tray better
if each piece of linen were hemmed.
Then two may be sewn together Just
inside the hem, with one end left open
for the Insertion of the oilcloth. You
will certainly like the arrangement,
and baby will! rejoice if you allow him
to, Instead of scolding him too often
for faults that tiny hands cannot pre
vent. Children's eating bibs are made of
Turkish toweling. Some of them are
woven iu the correct size and shape;
but they may be made at home of the
same quality, bought by the yard.
They are cut the desired shape and
bound round the edges and neck with
a tape that loops over a button at the
back of the neck. New Haven Regis

The responsibility for the present
humiliating slave-trade In which rich
American girls are sold to the titled
decadent of England and the Conti
nent Is almost wholly the fault of the
men of this country. This opinion Is
offered only nfter years of observation
and consideration of our social condi
tions, and after a pathological study of
American men. Their open astonish
ment and chagrin at this phenomenon
would be vastly amusing were it not
so pathetic. Our men have a helpless
inability to see themselves. Nor is
the responsibility of the mother lost
sight of, for the foreign suitor begins
with her, as he does In Europe. She
Is the outer citadel, which must first
suocumb to his studied charm.
This outer citadel Is carried with
astonishing ease, as be quickly discov
ers, and for three reasons. The moth
er is easily dazsled; her social foun
dations do not go down deep in the
class to which she almost Invariably
belongs; her husband has made every
dollar 0 fthe" lure of' those millions,
without which there would not be this
problem to solve. Second, the women
who see what a given man really is,
who estimate him at all justly, who
begin even to understand men's soolal
standards either in this country or Eu
rope, are rare indeed.
The American mother is dearly out
of her depth at the start, as unfit as a
chdld to counsel her daughter. She Is
not equipped for it It Is not her work.
In the third place, that subtle relation
ship of sex which European men of
any age always have the art of estab
lishing with a woman of whatever age,
their attention, their qulok courtesy
toward women, their habit of listening
absorbedly when a woman speaks
all this Is so absolutely new to the
American mother than she becomes
hypnotized by it and can no longer
distinguish truth from falsity, or a
mere national point of etiquette from
a personal thoughtfulness and delicate
tenderness of feeling. Anna A. Rogers

Fashion Notes.
Silk panels are plentiful.
Draped waists are very popular.
A new fad is the bathing parasol.
The trend Is toward picturesque ef
fects. The pointed waistline Is a novelty
after the straight cross effects of tho
empire out
Travelling skirts are cut so that
they escape the ground by a scant
three- Inches.
Some of tie petticoats worn with
the hlgh-walated skirts are made with
awldo-fltted belt.
Hat styles demand! that the hair be
flat at the front, wide at the sides and
full at the back.
Moss roses, with their attendant
buds and foliage, are being much used,
in hat trimming.
Among the materials used for bath
ing suits are mohair, fine serge, taf
feta and silk serge.
Some of the newest and smartest
of skirt and coat costumes are being
made without sleeves.
Old-fashioned brooches, Including
the goldtoue of our grandmothers'
day, . with ita mosaic centre; are In
the very height of fashion.
Booties for little folks, made of
linen and embroidered in either the
satin' stitche or eyelet work, are as
dalntjK as they are serviceable. '
- Silver and rhlneatone buttons trim
the pale blue gown of - satin crepe
which' is Included In the trousseau of
the smart young society woman.
.' Witjh-the returtt to shorter should
er lints the scarf Is now worn over
the shoulders and not thrown off onto
the arms, as has been the fashion of
late. ,
. Empire and princess effects demand
tne softer and more sheer- mousse
lines, batistes, muslins, the cotton
voiles, crepes and others of similar
texture. - ".. "
Yellow is one of the smartest colors
for the separate blouse. , Those of
handkerchief linen and trimmed with
lace dyed to match are especially
fetching.
An exquisite fancy of the moment is
the kerchief of brilliants worn on tho
bead. It la an accompaniment, of
course, of the most elaborate of the
evening costumes.
New York City. The bodice that
includes such a garniture as this one
is one of the latest and prettiest that
the season has brought forth. The
garniture can be braided or embroid
ered or made from fancy material,
and It gives a distinctive touch with
out Involving any great amount of la
bor. This blouse is made of pongee,
and Is braided, while the yoke and
sleeves are of net In matching color,
but the model suits the thinner mate
rials as well as It does the heavier
fabrics, and for the gulmpe portions
either the net or a fancy all-over or
tucking or something similar will be
found appropriate. In .this case the
blouse is worn with a high walsted
skirt to give the modified Empire ef
fect, but it extends to the waist line
so that It can be utilized for the regu
lation skirt as well. If It is to be
joined to a skirt in prlncesse style the
skirt can be arranged over It either
at the natural or at the high waist
line and Joined at the upper edge.
; The bodice Is made with front and
backs, which are tucked and joined to
the narrow yoke. The garniture is
arranged over It The under sleeves
are long and close fitting and. the lit
tle cap sleeves are snug without being
tight
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is' two and five
eighth yards twenty-one or twenty
fsur, one and seven-eighth-yards thirty-two
or one and three-eighth yards
forty-four inches wlde .wlth two yards
eighteen for the yoke and sleeves.
' Wide Collar.
wide collar of handkerchief lin
en cut in points and embroidered in a
neat design is a pretty decoration for
a wool school dress. The collar Is
made separate, and by Us frequent
changing the little gown la kept look
ing spick and span.
Irish Crochet Imce.
Real Irish crochet lace has been
added to the list of real laces showing
figures of color.
No Clmnge In Sleeves.
There will be little or no change
In sleeves later. It is probable that
corsages and bodices will be more
square over the shoulders, and In that
case sleeves will set lower on the
arms that is, the shoulder seam
will be longer. '
Foulard Flm-ness.
A pretty bordered foulard seen re
cently had a coarse ribbed surface
with a pattern of small groups of tiny
dots on an ivory ground, and a
straight border of black on white,
with touches of heron blue, rhodo
dendron purple, Jade green and
brownish purple, the effect being like
that of a broad band of embroidery. '
Infant's Shawl Wrap.
This convenient little wrap appro
priately belongs in every Infant's out
fit. It serves the purpose of both hat
and shawl, and It can be slipped on at
a moment's notice whenever the tem
perature requires. It can be made
from flannel or from cashmere or
from wash silk lined with albatross
or from any similar material, and It
can be scalloped at Its edges or tin
lshed with hems that are feather
stitched or in almost any way that
fancy may suggest. The long, point
ed, narrow effect is both pretty and
practical, but often a shorter wrap Is
wanted, and this one can be made in
either style Illustrated.
The wrap Is made In one piece with
casings and draw strings arranged to
form the hood. '
The quantity of material required
is, for the full length wrap, one and a
half yards twenty-seven or one yard
thirty-six Inches wide; for the shorter,
wrap one yard twenty-seven or three-'
quarter yard thirty Inches wide.
Braiding Is the Rage.
Broad flat silk military braid Is
used as trimming to an unprecedent
ed extent, narrow soutache represent
ing a close rival, while in many- cases
coats are bordered with broad bands
of taffeta ribbon or with velvet
Narrow Skirts.
Some of the new skirts are so nar
row that they look like bolster cases;
and. Indeed, go under that nam
abroad.
PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
A book worm is not necessarily a
bore.
Many a gay looking little slipper
covers an aching sole.
The moon, the maid, the man and
nobody's thinking about mother-in-laws.
The way to cure a feminine heart
ache Is apply a new hnt quick to her
bead. ,
Wisdom is the precocious young
daughter of the grass widow, experi
ence. June set to music would revive the
old time favorite: "Come haste to the
wedding."
The rose of life hath many petals,
but none so dewy, fresh and fragrant
as a mother's love.
How often do we weep over the
comedies of deceit and smile at the
tragedies of conscience!
Don't become too worldly wise.
Keep some of your Illusions and you
will retain Just that much of youth.
"Asters by the brookside make as
ters In the brook" but cookbooks In
the kitchen, don't always make a cook.
That no matter how much of a
start Art has, a girl always hands
over her heart when the tight man
comes along.
That he hopes if he- does squeeze
into heaven there won't be any of
those amateur angel cakes passed
around for refreshments.
That the idiot who tries to rescue
a fool when he falls In love is plung
ing Into deep waters where even
friendship needs a life preserver.
When May weds December Cupid
can count up the summer days in
that household on the fingers of one
hand and then use only his thumbs.
Environment Is nothing. Consider
the undaunted nasturtium. The hotter
the sun and poorer the soil and scarc
er the rain the more vivid and brll
Han it glows.
That a girl's sense of responsibility
Is like her religion, a cushion she
leans back against when she doesn't
know any other argument to help her
carry her point.
He who Is ill bred enough always
to tell the truth may not hold to
much social prestige, but he will re
tain his self-reBpect which is immeas
urably greater than crown or favor.
Real love never dies. The pathetic
dead that mark the way are but frail
hearts whleh could not endure eith
er the Infinite pleasure of the infinite
pain of a thing that endures forever.

York Telegram.
HOW WIND PRODUCES WAVES.
He Action Upon Desert Sand and
Prairie Snow,
There are wind waves In water, sand
and snow. The great sea waves are
produced at that part of a cyclone
where the direction of the wind coin
cides with the direction of advance of
the depression. Along this line of
advance the waves In their progress
are accompanied by a strong wind
bowling across their ridges so long as
the atmospheric depression Is main
tained. So the. waves are developed
until they become steep. The average
height In feet is about half the veloc
ity of the wind in miles.
A wind of fifty-two miles an hour
gives waves of an average height of
twenty-six feet, although Individual
waves will attain a height of forty
feet The prevailing wind In all longi
tudes Is westerly, so wherever a wes
terly wind springs up it finds a long
westerly swell, the effect of a previ
ous wind still running, and the princi
pal effect of the newly born wind Is to
increase the steepness of the already
running long swell so as to form ma
Jestlo storm waves, which sometimes
attain a length of 1,200 feet from crest
to crest The longest swells due to
wind are almost invisible during
storms, for they are masked by the
shorter and steeper waves, but they
emerge Into view after or beyond
the storm.
The action of the wind to drift dry
sand in a procession of waves Is seen
in the deserts. As the sand waves can
not travel by gratitation their move
ments are entirely controlled by the
wind and they are therefore much sim
pler and more regular In form and
movement than ocean waves. In their
greatest heights of several hundred
feet the former becaraes more complex
owing to the partial consolidation of
the lower layers of sand by pressure,
but they still have the characteristic
wave features.
In the Winnipeg prairies of Canada
freshly fallen snow is drifted by wiud
in a procession of regular waves pro
gressing with a visible and ghostlike
motion. . . They are similar to desert
sand waves, but less than half as steep,
the wave length being fifty times as
great as the height' The flatness of
the wind formed snow waves affords a
valuable indication of the great dis
tance to which hills shelter from the
wind. Chicago Tribune.
