In addition to the suit with platted nr elastie hack mat in the prevailing type, suits have been noted consisting of knickerbockers in large Iwo-toned over-plaid fleeces to he worn with a slipover jumper in solid tone. This type of costume is particularly well adapted for winter sports and the wide scarf arrangement at the throat is a feature which commends it.

Madam 1 dick began to limp, she spread her wings and let one drop, as though she had heon wounded. uf course Mr. Fox thought Madam Din k had not semi him. and when she limpoil he crawled slowly toward her. "Some hunter has wounded that lurk." he thought. "I will have to keep a sharp lookout that he does not see me, hut I am thankful to him for helping me to gel tins line bird, for 1

Yakima. Wash.—Experiments are iielng made here by fruit and vegetable growers with (he ant bear, whose natural home is in the central portion of South America, as a means of destroying grasshoppers, melon bugs and aphis, which are a pest In Northwest • fates. Edward T lllner procured three of the animals, two fenmles and one male, from the government experimental station in the City of Mexico, and they are rapidly becoming aeeiimated and fattening on the insect
diet.
The ant hear destroys potato hugs, locusts and oilier injurious insects with great avidity, seemingly eating all the while. i'nllke its northern cousin, the ant bear does not hibernate in the winter and as there are tewer insects during the <-old season, lllner has taught the bears to sleep In ids greenhouses, and while in Hint semi-tropical lemperature they can keep down Hie insects that endanger the winter vulture of tender plants. Ant bears of this species are about tlie size of a spaniel dog and possess long stiff hairy emits of fur. The peculiar shaped head comes to a sharp point, from which a long red tongue Issues, tlie insects sticking to ttie secretion covering it. By wrapping the slender tongue about the stem of an Infested tree the aphis are sonn|»ed off by hundreds. NEAR EAST LOVES BLUE BEADS Baubles Deemed by King and Peasant to Have Great Potency for

Constantinople.—The luck token of tin- Ncnr East is the blue bead. Its supposed potency is recognized equally by King Constantine, tin* siiltan of Turkey. Mustuphn Konial i’aslia. General Papoulas and on down to thc| humblest soldier and peasant. M. (Jounaris, the right-hand man of Constantine, carries a whole string of beads, which le* takes out of ids pocket and lingers while being interviewed by foreign correspondents. No cabinet meeting or war council in the Ncnr East is complete without bends. In the Angora parliament, where tlie sittings are often stormy, members shake their beads at each other and sometimes throw them across the chamber. Feasants of Turkey and flreece put their heads on llieir carliets, hang them over tlie door like a horseshoe, decorate the tails and bridles of their horses and Imrus of their buffaloes and oxen vvlili them.

DORIS.
HOUGH etymologists do not di-
rectly connect Doris with I>orotliy, and some believe that she
is merely n modern version of a feminine fancy for a name a trifle out of Ilie ordinary, it is Impossible to believe tiiat her source was not Identical with Dorothea and that strange but
correct reversal Theodora.
Such being the case, Doris comes from one of the early Christian Greek nmnes, notably Tliekla. St. Thekla
to have been a disciple of
St. 1‘aul and to have been exposed to Hons at Antioch. Instead of tearing her to pieces, they crouched at tier feet, but nevertheless she was considered the first virgin martyr, and no higher praise is possible for a woman than to compare her to St. Thekla. From Thekla came the French Teelit and then through the Eastern church. Theodora, signifying “divine gift.” and, much later, the Incorrect

There have been two St. Theodoras, one a virgin martyr and the other a
Greek empress.

(FrL'v»Hred by the I’nite*! States Department of Agriculture.) "What can I do with these dingy old floors? tmil this year they've been carpeted, but 1 know that the house would be more sanitary and easier to dean with finished floors and rugs that could tie taken out of doors every week. I'd like to get tlie floors fixed while the hoys are home from school to help, Imt 1 don't know how to start.” This problem is perplexing many housekeepers who want their homes to look well and at the same time to make house cleaning easier. Dull Neutral Color Is Best. The most durable and attractive finish for a floor depends ou Ilie kind of wood and how it lias been treated, says tlie United States Department of Agriculture. Unfinished pine, spruce, or ether softwood floors can lie vur- | nished, stained and varnished, or painted, depending somewhat on tlie condition of the wood and tin* rest of the woodwork in the house. Whatever finish is chosen, a dull neutral color that tones in with walls and furnishing is best. First of all, make the floor as level and smooth as possible. Plane or sandpaper rough places, and draw out all remnants of tacks or drive them lielow tlie surface with a nail set. Then scrub tlie wood with hut soap suds or scouring powder, and rinse thoroughly with clear water, ink stains and similar spots can often lie bleached out with a solution made by dissolving one tea spoonful of oxalic acid In mie cupful of hot water. This solution is poisonous and must, of course, lie carefully handled, also ail traces of it and of soap suds or scour ing powder must lie removed with clean water, otherwise they will in jure the finish used on the floor. Homemade Stain for Floors. When (lie wood is perfectly dry tlie stain, paint, or varnish ean he applied. For a pine floor, a good brown stain can lie made by dissolving an ounce of permanganate of potash in a quart of warm water. 'Phis liquid is violet colored, but when applied to wood, chemical action results and the wood is stained brown. Another brown stain for either hardwood or softwood is made from 1^4 ounces of pulverized gilsonite dissolved in a quart of turpentine. Apply either of these stains with a clean iinish or n’ sponge, taking even
the air in tlie room free from dust tiefore varnishing. Also, if possible. ha\e tlie temperature of the room To degrees Fahrenheit of higher, and apply the varnish in the morning, lic-can-e it dries better in tlie daylight. Brush tlie varnish in a thin coat with even strokes parallel villi the grain of the wood. Allow (lie floor to dry for at least two days and apply one or perhaps two more coals in the same
way.
Painted Floors Easy to Clean. Good quality paint of neutral color also makes a good finish for softwood floors. At least two coats should In applied. After tlie last coat of paint is dry, a soft lustrous finish can be given will) equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine. Bull this on vvilh a soft eloth, and polish the floor with a woolen eloth.

Some varnishes are unsuitable for floors because they leave a hard, brittle coating that is easily marred and wears off quickly. Shellac varnish may be mixed at home as follows; Two pounds gum shellac. One-half pound castor oil. One gallon al'ijtiol ilermtured according to United Ktates revenue formula No 1.
