There seems to be a mistaken idea among hunters that they may kill all the rice hens they see fit on any day This is not true, the limit of twenty four to be killed in one day being the same as for ducks, as the following section will show: Section 599, Acts of 1905. "Whoever shoots or kills more than twentyfour wild ducks, brants, or other water fowl In any one day shall, on conviction, be fined $10 for each wild duck, brant or other water fowl so shot or killed in excess of twentyfour." It is understood every effort will be made to prosecute and convict viola tors of this section of the law. GOAT AS PRISONER. Officer John Kunz this morning ar rested a goat named Sultan and thereby hang3 a tale. Before continuing, it might be well to relate that Sultan was soon released for lack of sufficient evl dence to convict him. Sultan, belongs to Fred Sommers, but it was sort of a personal affair Sommefs name has not been put on the police file. It seems that Sultan was busied this forenoon in the neighborhood of the Hotel Carleton where Is employed Mrs. Soweis who sometimes carries out the ashes. This morning she evidently raised more dust than Sultan thought necessary so he "tutted in". It is not necessary to go into details to explain just how Sultan "butted in". Suffice It to say that Mrs. Soweis fell over nearby brick pile. Officer Kunz who just then stepped around the corner was appealed to and sizing up the situation he began to be labor the billy goat with his billy and the latter retaliated with an attempt to knock Kunz down goat fashion umcer K.unz, however, anticipating Sultans design, seized the goat by the horns and under his breate he mut tared: "You to the Michigan Central tracks where a steam engine shall pass juui nee uhicu Duay. ro more shail you go into people's back yards and there steal and eat their red under shirts nor shall you any longer inter fere with such decent people as Mrs Soweis." As there was no train due for the

next half hour and Sultan made a si-

lent plea for mercy the officers heart relented and he sent Sultan on his way

rejoicing. RACING RESULTS. RESULTS AT iJAMACIA. First race Sally Preston, first; Ace High, second; Jim Leonard, third. Second race Delmore, first; Pirate Polly, second; A. Muskoday. third.

In South Africa candles are used toe lighting purposes In the homes and when a young Boer maiden has gentlemen visitors, the mother sticks a pin in the candle, and when it has burned to the pin the callers under stand that it is time for their de parture. Mrs. Early, a society matron of Washington, recently made a visit to the Transvaal, and was impressed with the custom of the Boers that she determined to introduce it into her own home. Consequently the elec trie lights were removed and candles substituted in the drawing-room. Mr. Staylate, a frequent though not always welcome caller, was one of the first visitors to call after the in auguration of the new custom. He witnessed the placing of the pin in the candle by Mrs. Early, and after she had gone ventured to inquire: "Why, Miss Early, does your moth er stick a pin in the candle?" "Oh," responded the young woman with an air of apparent Innocence "mother learned that in South Africa as a way of sending home the Boers." Harper's Weekly. Women Must Like to Work. The increase In the number of wom en In the trade and industry of Amer ica is alarming. Out of 205 "gainful occupations" enumerated by the census of the United States, there are only eight in which women do not ap pear. From four out of these eight oc cupations women are excluded by law At the present time there are over 6,000.000 women at work in various trades and occupations in the United States. In 1900, of every five Ameri can women over ten years of age, there was one who was going outside of her family duties and who was tak ing part in the gainful work of the working world. At that time there were 40 women civil engineers, 30 women mechanical and electrical en gineers and three women mining en gineers, besides 14 women veterinary surgeons. Technical World. A Reason.

WINTER DRAPERIES.

The New Fashions la Curtains Re vlve tbe Old. The purchase of new curtains 13 an. all important one and a question which j drives to desperation many a shopper who is at other times unruffled, Helpless she sits there in the curtain de partment, while the obliging clerk gracefully displays his assortment, with ail its glories, and at the end of a half hoar the purchaser is in more of a maze than ever on the subject. The principal point for her to re member in this season's choice is that the old styles are coming back and that the cornice is being revived. Last DOOR CUBTA1NS WITH CORK ICE. winter it made its appearance firsf, and a certain new hotel, which is supposed to be an authority on good taste, had all its rooms supplied with cornices made of the same cloth as the window curtains. This style became popular then, but now the old fashioned brass and gilt cornices of colonial days are most in demand. The originals are so rare that they are almost unattainable, but such good imitations are made that the difference can scarcely be noted. When cornices were the fashion in former years it was the custom to draw back the curtains, but today they are, as a rule, allowed to hang. The lambrequin is edged with gimp of the same shade as the cloth, and sometimes, when the curtains are made of some cheap little material, such aa cotton or cotton and silk, this gimp la not used at all. Bedroom curtains, made of some soft material and edged with a rufile of lace, are exceedingly effective hanging from a brass cornice, no sash curtain bein ased. Fortunately fashion does not sane tion the Nottingham lace curtains, ungraceful, hard to launder and altogether hideous. Swiss, madras and Calcutta net are welcome substitutes. Soft cream madras, ranging from 35 to 70 cents a yard, may be made into as pretty a curtain as any one could desire. Colored nets In a great variety of designs are used for casement curtains or for Inner curtains when the glass is covered with a cream or white net. In regard to making curtains at home, those who have the best success follow these rules: Make the hems about two inches wide; miter the corners; turn tbe top hem in two or three thicknesses, as the rurtain is very apt to shrink when laundered.

Cut the tops from the peppers and take out all the seeds, being sure not to miss one. Fill with the meat and Bet closely together in a baking dish.
