SCRAPS

Because of labor troubles, New Zealand is experiencing a coal shortage. A woman 60 years old haa recently learned to read so that she may better understand the Bible. Consul Winslow of Auckland says that the censorship of moving pictures in New Zealand is becoming more drastic. Investigators in Bavaria have found that the more bread school children eat the better the condition of their teeth. A two-wheeled cart, which automatically loads and unloads corn stalks, is the invention of a New Jersey farmer. People who read ads are looking for something they want to buy. The wise merchant meets them half way by seeing that his ad is there to be seen. The reason given by Josephus for the Jewish law which prohibited the wearing of clothing of linen and wool was that such garments were worn by the priests alone. Chiefly intended for deliveryl automobiles is a new attachment for a car that stops it at a set distance from a starting point enabling a driver to call at several hoilses and find his machine waiting for him. During the first year of the civil war the number of the regular army rose to 32.000. Lincoln’s' first call for volunteers, April 15, 1861, was for 75,000 men for three months. At the beginning of 1862 the number of volunteers in the field was about 550,000. During the next three years it was about 900,000. At the close of the war the Union army numbered 1,000,000 men. The total number of troops furnished was 2,850,000

men. Prank Witham has made a perfect model of the Maine state penitentiary, on the scale of one-quar-ter inch to the foot, of wood and pasteboard.' The model is correct, even to minor details, the guardroom being shown in the center, with its distinguishing brick color, and the two wings in their scrupulous whiteness. Even the window bars are there, frail and minute, yet emblematic of the real harriers to freedom. E. D. Knowlton of Allendale. Michigan, and his brother Frederick of Stockton, California, met the | other day in Grand Rapids, Mich- | igan, and it was the first time that they had seen each other for more | than sixty years. When both were boys in Maine they “farmed out,” | and then lost track of each other as they went to join the colors during the civil war. Frederick saw service with the Maine soldiery, while his brother enlisted in a, Michigan regiment. The drone bees do no wora. They are <the royal consorts. If more than one queen bee is found in the hive they fight among themselves until only one survives. The survivor becomes the queen of the colony. The only exception to this is when a colony becomes too large for the one queen to rule, when another queen is grown, and a new home is prepared. On the new queen’s appearance the old queen leaves the hive, followed by a part of her workers.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 1917

FRIEND WIFE WENT SHOPPING

She Didn’t Invest Any Money, but She Got a Lot of Ideas Out of Her Trip. Well, she is about ready to start to work on her new suit and new hat. She has everything now except the goods for the dress and the trimming for the old frame. She has the Ideas. She has tried on suits at every place in town where suits are sold, and not once did she pick at the price. And she didn’t kick at the prices of the hats. It made no difference to her whether the hat she was trying on was worth $9 or s2o* She was not hunting a hat —she was hunting ideas, Claude Callan explains in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. She tried on one suit worth $45 and another worth S6O. No doubt the clerks believed her to be a middleman’s wife, and they must have thought that she was very hard to please. Occasionally she found a suit that almost filled the bill, but there would be something wrong. At one place she found a hat frame just like her old one, and she immediately took a fancy to the frame. She asked the woman how she could trim that frame for her, and the woman went into details, while another and perhaps better customer waited patiently. She has all the Ideas she needs, and soon will begin work, but, of course, she will have to go down and try on a few more suits before she gets hers basted.

Popularity of Snapdragon.

Fashions change even in flowers. There was a time when the fuchsia was all the rage. Then the dahlia had a time of immense popularity and hundreds of new varieties were on the market. Then came the turn of the chrysanthemum, but, as it needed a house and a lot of attention, it was soon left to the specialist, like the orchid. Then came the great sweet pea boom. Anybody who had a garden at all filled it with sweet peas and new varieties jvere called after every imaginable person of note on earth. Now there is a new star —the snapdragon. People used rather to despise this flower. But, lo! the expert had taken notice of it and it has suddenly become the rage. If the seed pods are nipped off they put out new shoots* which bear flowers until one imagine* they are, like Tennyson’s brook, going; “on forever.”

AT THE RECEPTION

“The girls declared they would rath* er dance than eat.” “Well?” “Yet now they’re kicking becausewe added two waltz numbers to the program and cut down t&e supper menu a little bit.”

Making Pillow Cases.

Anyone, who has any spare time can devote it pleasantly and usefully by making pillow cases. They can be made much cheaper than bought and with little or no trouble. You can buy pillow tubing for 25 cents a yard. Two yards will make a pair. Draw very evenly two row T s of shallow scallops around the opining. Be careful that you mea&ure them evenly so that you will not have uneven scallops at the ends. This done, crochet a double edging without hemming the case. For 55 cents you can make a handSoihe psir of pillow cases. If desired one or more initials could be embroidered in the center above the crocheted edge.

Another Astonishing Trait.

“Washington must have had a wonderful memory, father,” said the bright boy. “Why so, my son?” asked the who w r as showing his son around. “Because, everywhere I go I see monuments to his memory.”—People’s Home Journal.

Salt in Cake.

Young housekeepers may safely re* member that salt “goes in” everything. Scarcely a single recipe for cake calls for salt, and yet the lack of it causes the raw taste of cake done to a turn by all the signs. A scant teaspoonful of salt can be put in a usual size cake.
