Plan for Keeping the Chickens Sep- a rated While Laying and Sitting. I have a set of nests for sitting hens that is cheap and keeps each hen where she belongs, says a writer in Farm and Home. Take two 12-inch boards 14 feet long for bottom and nail them to 2x4 crosspieces, to raise it off raKninmln;n:nrn1nj l a f'd I .fe P Front and Side View of Nests. the ground. Then two 12-inch boards 14 feet long for front and one for the back. Make partitions, C, every 18 inches. Put on a top like a lid, as shown at D, with three hinges on front side, so it can be raised from the back. Cover the top with tin or roofing pa per. Cut a hole, B, In front of each di vision seven inches square for hen to enter, and put the doors on hinges. Also cut a hole, A, in top of each place four-inch square for ventilation, and hinge so it will drop down. Nail screen over top hole on inside, so when left open st night nothing can get in. Set it under a shed in early spring or out of doors as the season advances and set the hens in it. When they hatch remove the old nest, tack a lath across the opening, B, to con fine the hen, and you have an idea coop for the young chicks.

During, superintend ent of the Philadelphia City mission. has for many years devoted his life to the poor. Dr. During is the in ventor of the pretzel test for street beggars. When a street beggar pleads starvation, you buy him a big German pretzel at the nearest stand. If he eats the pretzel, he is honest; if he refuses it, he is a fraud. Dr. During in his .v-k among the poor has learned m. odd, quaint things that he relates . erbly, for he la a born story-teller. M an address at Bala, apropos of the hard, rough lives of the children of the poor, he related a dialogue between two litUe girls in Rum alley. "Maggie, wus ye ever kissed? said the first tot. "On'y wunst in me life wot I kin remember.' said the second. 'When I was in de Honnyman hospital wid a broken arm one o de lady nusses kissed me, an I blushed like a child.- BRIGHT IDEA. Method of Preparation Not Altogether New, But Carries Most Appetizing Suggestion. The following recipe by Jane M. Hill looks good. It fir something new, and from its source must surely be worth trying: One egg, one-half cup of flour, one-quarter cup of milk or water, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, bananas. Sift together the flour and salt, drop the yolk of the egg into the center of the mixture and slowly stir in the milk; when the milk is about half used, beat the mixture until very smooth and stir in the rest of the milk. Cover the batter and set aside for an hour or more. When ready to use, fold in the white of the egg beat en dry. Remove the skin and coarse threads from the banana, cut them in halves crosswise, then cut the halves lengthwise and dip the pieces in the hatter, covering tbem completely. Fry in deep fat to a golden brown. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon, as a dessert dish, or, with currant jelly or a hot sauce as an en tree, with meats. Often the pieces of bananas are sprinkled with sugar or lemon juice and set aside half an hour before frying. When so treat ed the banana needs be drained very carefully before it is dipped into the batter. Miss Citykid Oh. Willie, wouldn't it be lovely if we could catch one and take it home and tame it? Standing Fad. The wandering agent who was sell ing cigar-bands found Remus sitting on the porch mending his fishing lines. "Do yon have any fads down here in Dixie?" asked the agent. "What am them, mister?" inquired Remus, curiously. "Why, take the collecting fad. Do yon make any collections of anything down here?" Remus laughed. "Oh, yeas, sah." he chuckled, "de same collections we've always made. De collection of pickaninnies en dogs. A Trio of White Cochins. Cock. 11 pounds; hen, 8V4 pounds; cockerel, nine pounds, and pullet, seven pounds. They have a Dright yellow beak, bay colored eyes, yellow shanks and a pure white plumage. They are very hardy, lay brown-colored eggs and are very persistent sitters. They are a single combed breed. I Use Caution in Raising Squabs. There is a great deal to contend with in raising squabs. It is well to start with a few known mated pairs and raise and mate your own breed ers; or, if buying on a large scale, as your birds mate up, watch them and remove to a permanent breeding place. It requires patience and lots of experi ence to succeed commercially. Give your birds plenty of fresh, pure water for drinking and bathing, the best quality of grains and liberal supplies of grit and salt. A beginner should al ways consult some practical squab raiser before investing money.' Be sure the hens are provided with a dust bath. Tournedos of Mutton. Take a tender loin of mutton, cut It into fillets about one inch thick, with the fat left on them, flatten them a little with a cuUet bat. trim into a neat round fillet, dip them in warm butter and grill them. Fry some thin rounds of bread and place one of these under each fillet when serving with some small strips or round balls of po tatoes which have been sauted in but Aimed at Immoral Plays. Albany, New York. Gov. Hughes Tuesday night signed a bill which is aimed at Immoral plays. The new law makes it a misdemeanor to advertise or present any obscene, immoral or impure drama, play, exhibition, show or entertainment which would tend to the corruption of youth or others. Clean Soiled Books. Books with delicate bindings which have become soiled through much handling can be satisfactorily cleaned by rubbing with chamois skin dipped in powdered pumice stone. A Boomerang. At a small country boarding-house sort "down in ole Virginie," this past summer, the girls decided to give a dance in the town hall on the mutual benefit plan, so to speak. Half of the expenses of the hall, music and re freshments, it was planned, should be borne by them and the other half by the men. The fair chairman of the re freshment committee, in exhorting the prospective dancers to make no- mis take in the details agreed upon, wrote: "The girls will furnish the sugar and the men will bring the lemons.' Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Work for the Young Man. There Is a place for you, young man, and there Is a work for you to do. Rouse yourself up and go after it. Put your hands cheerfully and proud ly to honest labor.
