LEADING MISTAKES IN LIFE

Writer Hai Recorded Ten, of Which Most of Us Assuredly Have Our Share. Some of us ruay bo glad to be told that thero are ouly ten lifo mistakes, for there seem to bo so many more, but a rocent writer has catalogued them. Perhaps theso aro only the ton leading ones from which the smaller errors arise. Lot's look ovor the list and see how many of thorn are ours: First, to sot up our own standard of right and wrong- and Judge peoplo accordingly; focoud, to meaturo the enjoyment of others by our own; third, to i xpect uniformity of opinion In this world; fourth, to look for judgment and exp ri'T.fo In youth; fifth, to end. iivor n in ild all disposition alike; sixth, to loo'i for perfection in our seventh, to worry our- 1 own. ac "in phe8 ui l Thors with what cannot c reme-ii- 1. t iRhth, to refuse to yield in lmmateiul matters; ninth, to refuse to alleviate, so far as it lies in our power, all which needs alleviation; tenth, to refuse to mako allowanco for the Infirmities of others. EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE j "In Dowlais. South Wales, about flf- 1 teen years ago. families wore stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Bellevo me, it is the most terrible disease of Its kind that I t know of, as it itches all through your , body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep Is out of the question and you 1 feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking $ou at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so , affected. "Tho doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cutlcura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and tho result was a perfect euro In all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cutlcura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh. 1650 West Huron SL, Chicago, IlL, June 20, 1S09." THE REASON. Janitor I know the water is turned off. I'm sorry, but It isn't my fault. Tenant I know, and I guess that's why you're sorry. Diagnosis. "Do you see that man going along with his head In the air, sniffing with his nose?" "Yes, I know him." "I suppose he believes in taking In tho good, pure ozono.' "No; he's hunting for a motor garage, I bollovo." Tit-Bits. The Modern Idea. "And you don't lovo him?" "No." 'Thon why marry him?" "Oh, 1 might as well. Every girl has to have a foolish marriage or two before she roally settles down." Plenty of Material. "Son," hald tho press humorist, "you have Inherited some of my humor." "Not enough to make a living with, dad." "Never mind. I'm going to leave you all of my joke3." There's vitality, snap and "go" In a breakfast of Grape-Nuts and cream, Why?

BONNETS FOR TOTS

MAKE THE LITTLE WEARERS LOOK LIKE FRENCH DOLLS, In the Maze of Elaborate Hats for Tiny Maids, Mothers Are Reminded That Simplicity Is Part of Childhood's Charm. If thoro Is auythlng that mnkes the mother of boys only, or the woman who has not onjoyed tho uoblo privilege of having chlltlron nt all, loug for a girl of her own it is the stght of the ducky bonnets wherewith they crown small girls nowadays, making them look like regular French doll. As a matter of record, the French have always put elaborately decorative hats on the heads of little girl tod dlers, letting the golden locks or ebon, as the cae may bo, peek out through wreathings of roses or choux of ribbon. From the hour when nor daughter emerges from babyhood the French mother puts her mind each season to exceeding the previous season's ravishment of a hat for her small daughter, and in accomplishing her ond she seems to stop at nothing except what tho old-fashioned call bugles, those jetted ornaments which most decorate old ladies' headgear. Everything I but these go to making Mile. Petlte's 1 oonnets it would seem. We have fallen into the way of elaborate hats for finall maidens, but we still observe, or try to observe, something of that simplicity which is ! pan of the charm of chllhood. Our I bot lots for near-babies are confined ! largely to muslin, ribbon, soft straw and tiny blooms. ! Hats for small glr5s aüord nil the i varit-ty that could bo askd in the j way of a summer crown for little Sue ; or May. The one pictured, with i wreathings of closely massed rose- : buds, has full shirred crown of pink 1 chiffon, from which falls softly over me runs ui wie iiiuu uiniuvu a iuiub ui pink chiffon. Very dainty, and a model that can bo quickly and cheaply copied. On many of the French bonnets for children, black Is employed with pretty, though bizarre results. One shape that boars the name of a Paris firm is close fitting, blue straw, of a pale shade, supplo enough to bo plaited at tho lower edge. A band of black velvet marks the line of Junction of crown and brim, and on one side forms a bow with loops and ends. Who but a French milliner would think of forming tiny white roses in rings and placing them at Intervals on tho velvet band? Then, as a final touch, a soft frill of vnlonciennes lace It attached to tho under surface of the brim. MANY HINTS ABOUT THE BABY What to Do When the Little One Falls and Is Injured Refreshing Drink for Hot Weather. When baby falls and bruises him self, provided the Bkln Is not broken, apply a clean cloth wrung out of wa ter as hot as can bo borne. A little olive oil. butter or vaseline should then be rubbed In to prevent dis coloration. If tho skin is broken, however, butho tho place carefully with warm water, to which a littlo horactc acid has ben added, to remove the dirt Then apply some boraclc ointment, and the abrasion will very quickly heal, says Homo Chat. Uarloy wator makes n cooling and refreshing drink for tho little ones during tho hot wenthor. It should bo prepared like this: Well wash two tablospoonfuls of pearl barley and simmer gently in a pint and a half of water for two hours Then strain, add a littlo lemon julco and Bweeton very slightly. In hot weather It should bo mndo fresh every day, as It "turns" quickly Buttons on Summer Frocks. When buttons aro used as trimming on Biimmor frocks, Instead of sewing them, tiny eyelets ahould be worke and tho shank of tho button pushed fhrough and caught on tho wrong side with patent fasteners or rings. Ho euro to remove those buttons boforo tho frock Is sent downstairs to tho laundry, otherwise they may not all return. Not only Is this mothod bettor for the button and provonts chipping and yellowing frow hot suds, hut It hlmpllflis Ironing.

CLEANING OF BLACK GOODS

How to Treat a Frock of This Color When Old or When Spotted and Dusty. Where black must bo worn In summer, as for mourning. It is hard to keep it from getting gray and dusty looking. A frock must bo well ßhaken na soon as it Is takon off, and tho hem of tho skirt gone ovor with a stiff brush. Then dust carofully with a flno whisk, using a boft velvet brush or pfoco of black crape for Bilk or net trimmings This treatment should be insisted j upon whero a maid Is kept, and otherwise should be dono by tho wonrer. When the habit is once established it does not take long, and a frock is always ready when needed.

If the material has grown gray or Damp beds and sleeping pens cause shiny It can he froshoiu-d by wiping troublo. off with alcohol. This Is particularly Cement floors aro preferablo for a good for black hats, and does not hurt hog house, but slewing pens should alcrmpo If carefully applied. ways be overlaid with board floors. Where black goods are much spotted As a rule hogs should be fed outside thiy can ho cleaned with common on a feeding floor. Insldo feeding Is brown son) such as is used in the unsanitary and wasteful of space.

kitchen. Sponge well with a thick suds of the soap, rinse and press on the wrong side or under a thick cloth to prevent shlnincss. When mud stains remain on a black sddrt after careful brushing thoy can often be removed by rubbing with half a raw potato. Do not use ammonia to clean black gowns. This Is a common cleanser, but makes the material, especially woolens, rusty. Cottons or linens are apt to turn gray unless carefully washed. Black starch should be used. STYLES FOR THE LITTlE ONES Three Pretty Ideas That Are Not Beyond Skill of the Home Dressmaker. The little frock on left Is In a delicate shade of mode silk cashmere, trimmed with bands of brown satin, fagoted to tho material with brown silk. Brown satin-covered buttons trim the front box plait In the center Is a misses' mod Is coat suit of dark blue serge, with pipings of black satin used on seams as indicated In cut The deep Bhawl collar and turned cuffs are also of black satin. On the right Is shown a little frock of checked gingham, a one-piece affair, with plaitd front. Fulness on sides Is confined with wide bands of plain material, matching that used on front and for shaped cuffs. Smoked pearl buttons furnish additional decoration. HOME-MADE HAIR ORNAMENT The New Ones of Plaited Ribbon Are Inexpensive to Make But Costly to Buy. Have you seen the new ornaments of plaited ribbon with a singlo cabuchon as fastening or one at each end? These are expensive to buy, but mnv be onsllv made at onlv tho cost of enough ribbon to go three times round the head and a small box of pearl or colored beads. Cut tho ribbon Into three equal parts and fastening It at one end plait Into loose braid. Gauze or satin ribbon about two Inches wide Is the best choice. A novel effect Is given by using two or three colors, preferably different tones of the same shade or soft pastol tints. A contrnl strand of buck Is used with good results. While cabuchons can be bought at small cost thoy may be mnde perhaps more cheaply by stringing beads of different sizes on a flno gilt or silver wire, then twisting It Into colls or ovals to form a solid ornament. This mny be made quite fiat or the wires can be bent to have it moundlike In form. For Traveling. Large sowing cases for travelers are to be had In abundance, but have you seen tho tiny affairs put up In boxes about the size nnd shnpo of a round stick of shaving soap? These contain a tiny spool of white nnd black silk, a small pair of scissors, a silver thimble, nnd a tiny inner box filled with needles. Tho entire case can easily bo slipped in a handling and kept thero for emergencies. Trifles of Muslin. A round pincushion of cross-barred muslin for tho summer homo Is mndo with small bars and a wreath of pink flowers nnd green loaves ombroldorod In tho center of tho top. The cover Is outlined with shallow soallops In whlto mercerized cotton.

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF SWINE Two Systems Now Commonly Used for Housing P'fl, Both Having Their Own Advantages. Thoro aro two systems now commonly usod for housing swine, tho control house system and tho sopnrate houses. Both have tbeir advantages and many farmers will do well to use both to n certain extent. The Important factor In pig pens is to keep the swine dry and free trom drafts. even though it may bo couvonlent, Weaning pigs is a vory important subject. If not properly woaned It proves detrimental to both the sows and the pigs. Pigs begin to oat when four or fivo weeks old and It .is always best to have them eating well before Wenning. Thoy cau be fed to the best advantage In a small pen away from the old sows Tho pigs will early learn to eat shelled corn and n small quantity should always be kept before them, either In a trough or on a clean spot on tho feeding floor. When fed on a slop ration tho dry corn they consume In addition appears to keep them from scouring. At this state of growth tho utmost care should be taken to keep animals from getting off feed. They should thrive and grow steadily. Frosh feed, clean troughs and feodlng floors, with comfortable quartors will aid much In securing those rei suits. j Tho young pigs should bo fed nt I least throe times a day, but not an . excosslve nmount, and may be weaned at six weeks, but eight wteks is preferable. Many farmers allow pigs to ' run with their dams for 10 or 12 I wooks, which is possible where only one litter Is produced per year. It Is grood practise to allow a few of the smaller piss to remain with the pows, when the larger ones are w-eaned, in order that the milk flow I of tho sows may be dried off gradual- , ly. If this Is not convenient, the sows j should be turned in with the pigs j once a day for three or four days This will obviato trouble with their udders. SOME DISEASES OF POULTRY Outside of Roup, Cholera or Chicken Mites Little Is Known of Disorders of Hen. Veterinarians know but very little about diseases of poultry, and with poultry taisers It Is always a proposition of roup, cholera or chlckon mites. Tho revenues from poultry products, In tho aggregate, are so enormous j that statistics aro looked" upon with suspicion. Much monoy and time have been spent in the Investigation of diseases of larger animals, and many volumes written, yot in economic importance tney nro. in some instances, comparatively Insignificant Tho chicken individually represents small value, ! nnd is, therefore, neglected; collective- , lr the animal would pny the public . debt. There are no other food producing animals that suffer nearly so large a loss for disease. The chlckenB begin dying and aro thrown over tho fence as long as they last, and perhaps a littlo red pepper or onions aro added to tho feed as medicine. Howevor, the poultryman has learned from dire experience that It pays to keep the hen house and poultry yard clean, and every poultry raiser has a few recolpts for keeping nway cholera and roup. Tho normal temperature of tho chicken Is from five to ten degrees higher than other farm animals, and consequently tho diseases are characteristic and Incident only to chickens and their kind. Not knowing the nnturo of poultry diseases, and much less their cause, of courso the remedies are on a pair with Bixtconth century therapeutics, as applied to the larger animals and to man. Tho Colorado Agricultural college, through Its experiment station, has determined to look Into this enormous loss incident to diseases of poultry, but If all tho experiment stntlons were to undertnko tho same task It would bo some tlmo before we could expoct to know as much about diseases of poultry as we do of the largor anl mnls.

PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP

Many Disorders Follow When Animals Are Left Out In Driving Storms of Rain or Snow. Shoep require good Bholter If they aro to bo profitable If tho flock la left out In driving rains and bad storms tho fleece becomes wot through tho sheop chilled, and colds, snuJUoa and other disorders follow. Shoep will onduro nlmost any amount of cold If they aro dry. The barn need bo only ono thickness of matched boards except whoa winter Inmbs are raised In the SHCEP OWN Sheep Barn. north then quarters warm enough to prevent tho chilling of tho now-born lambs nro needed. Ventilation of Bheep sheds is necessary, but direct drafts on tho sheep must always bo avoided. Tho space should bo about j ten square feet of floor surfaco for each sheep weighing 100 pounds or

' "Following is a description of a barii 32 by 40 feet, which provides In a most convenient way for storago space for tho hay and grain to bo used In feeding. The barn has solid walla on throe sides with tho wall of tho lower story portable on tho pasture side, so that It can be thrown open during the summer time, and servo as a Bhade and shelter for the sheep from the hot sunshine or from storm. Tho feed and wator troughs can bo either ono above tho other, or one larger trough, may be partitioned off io answer for both. Tho grain bin Is narrow, and the full length of tho building, to raako t LAMB PEN 3HEEP BARN 32XVO Side View. the feeding of the grain as easy as possible. A loft for hay, straw or fodder Is provided for ovorhoad, and tho grain bin hangs from tho celling thus saving space. Tho slanting bottom on tho grainbin permits it to be cleaned easily. The ceiling below is 8 feet in tho cloar and tho walls 1C feet to tho eaves. Livestock Never feed rye straw to pregnant ewes, it generally contains more or less ergot which produces abortion. If you mate a long, rangy pair, you aro apt to get sawboned, loose point ed hogs, that at best aro slow feed ers. A great deal of the sow's futuro usefulness depends upon how she Is cared for and fed until bred for her first little. Tho hog will eat almost anything and turn it Into meat, but this does not Imply that anything is good enough for the hog. If dusty hay Is fed, sprinkle with water and It will save tho horso much nnnoyance; hotter still, dou't feed It at all, If you can help it A good pair of draft mares will perform more work on a farm than a light team nnd tho same time grow a pair of good colts. A bow will farrow more nnd hotter pigs If she Is In a good gaining condition when bred. Sho should bo kept thrifty during gestation. Sheop can stand almost any dogreo of dry sold so long as their fleece Is not wet. It Is necessary that sheep have a tight roof over their heads. If you haven't oats for tho colt feed plenty of corn. Feed plenty of corn with clover or alfalfa hay nnd watch your young horses grow Into money. A trough for dipping lambs enn bo mado for very little exponso nnd no sheep raiser should be without one. A tank 12 feet long, 4 feet deep and 3 foot wldo 1b big enough for lambs and grown animals. If you find a lamb thoroughly chilled just after being born put him In a tub of warm wutor and pour a teaspoon of gin in a half a pint of hot water down his throat. This will quickly put him on his feet.
