Mark, DENMARK. AN EXPENSIVE BUNKER. This Golf Player Intended to Swear It Out While He Was About It. One of New York's prominent clergy men who is an enthusiastic golfer was playing over tlie Morristown links re cently with a clubman whose language is not always suited to clerical ears. After a badly sliced (Srive the latter, from force of habit, let fall a word or two which required an apology to his reverend com panion, relates the New York Times. Pardon, doctor," he exclaimed, but it hopped out before 1 kaew it. If I make many more strokes like that, though, I won't vouch for what I may sa^'. You'll have to forgive me. It's a bail habit I've got into." "Mr. ," said the clergyman, think ing to put an effectual quietus to this sort of thing, "suppose you agree to pay me a dollar tor every oath, the money to oe given to charity." Mr. H~—looked dubious. "All right, I'll go you on that," he said, finally. All went smoothly for awhile until he foozled" his drive, when cut came the dollar bill, which the clergyman quietly pocketed. On the next hole he drove into the bunker and had to go down into his pockets again. This time out came a |20 bill. "But I haven't the change," exclaimed Dr. "Then don't bother about it, doctor, for I intend to swear it out." And he did, by the time he got out of that bunker. Surprised Her.

BAD DREAMS Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Dc« to Coffee. One of the common symptoms of cof fee poisoning is the bad dreams that Bpoil what should be restful sleep. A man .who found the reason says: "formerly I was a slave to coffee. I was like a morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get tb sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgob lins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to' business. My writing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the stomach, indiges tion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, et& "Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he bad insulted me. I could not bear the idea, it had such a hold on me and I refused to be lieve it the cause. "But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time, for I finally consented to try Postum, and with the going of coffee and the com$ng of Postum all my troubles have gone fend health has returned. I eat and Bleep well now, nerves steadied down and write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business and rejoice that I am free from the monster Coffee."

One of the Most Beautiful of Bird Races Is Being Rapidly Wiped Out by Women. Twenty years ago the price for an ounce of heron feathers was three or four dollars at most. It is now more than quadrupled. Thirty-two dollars per ounce was recently offered for fine plumes. The much-sought-for "aigrette" or "osprey" of commerce is a tuft worn by the heron during a very limited por tion of the year—that is, during the mating season. Unfortunately for their race, the nerons during this time gather into colonies. Whether this is for the sa. 3 of mutual protection, or simply a so cial instinct ornithologists have not been able to decide. The rest of the 12 months they wan der wild over large districts, when It becomes impossible for hunters to kill them in quantities that would "pay." However, during the colonizing peri od they seem to lose all feeling of fear or nomadism, and the hunter is en abled to slaughter them wholesale. The killing of the parent birds en tails the death, by starvation, of the lit tle ones. A nest of them is often found surrounded by the mutilated bodies of the adults and clamoring piteously for food. Few women who wear aigrettes can be acquainted with the details of these massacres. If so, they would select some other form of trimming. Dealers often try to salve over our qualms of conscience by explaining that the aigrette plumes are manufac- A FULL-GROWN EGRET. turefl. This' cafialways be accepte'd as untrue. These beautiful sprays have never yet been successfully imitated. All that are offered for sale have been torn from the warm bodies of the smaller white herons. Even the stiff plumes known to milliners as "stubs" are not manufactured. They are taken from the larger species of white her ons. Heron sprays are frequently sold as "ospreys." According to the Audubon societies this is a trade name used to conceal the fact that heron plumes are being handled commercially. Both "aigrettes" and "stubs" are dyed various colors, especially black however, no matter what is the tint of the plume when offered for sale at the milliner's, its original color when on the back of the heron was white the artificial color is merely in response to the dictates of fashion. It is. conceded that the sale of aigrettes from the American bifd is prohibited, but it is claimed that there are no laws that prevent the sale of imported goods. Granting that this may be the case, how is the buyer to tell whether the goods are from Ameri can or old world herons? The most expert ornithologists cannot separate the plumes after they are taken from the birds. The heron family, although sadly thinned out in numbers, is distributed over a large portion of the globe. Their food consists of small fish, aquatic in sects, crawfish and living things found along the shores and in swamps! Two varieties of this exquisite bird are native to America—the snowy her* on,-which varies from 20 to 27 inches, and the American egret, which is al most twice the size of the snowy her on, its length being from 37 to 41 Inches.—St. Paul Globe.

"Yes/* said the woman, "Emma only does these things for the praise' she gets She is wearing herself out working for fairs, bazars, church leas, receptions, and such things, because people tell her how smart she is, and how cleverly she manages. She needs rest a lot more than she does praise. She begins to look haggard and worn, but of course one can't tell her that she is doing all this for the sake of other people's ap proval, so I suppose she will go until she drops." Yet this is what is happening around us every day. We ourselves can prob ably plead guilty. We cannot be suf ficient unto ourselves. We are not sat isfied with the approval of our con^i science. We are not content to stay at home, and so manage our financial af fairs that we can afford a generous contribution of money. No, that does not always attract attention enough We must have people tell us how clevetf and how smart-we are. 'Does this pay?" What strength we have do we not owe to our home and our loved ones? Is it not cheaper in the end to sacrifice a little cash and save our strength, than in the end to be laid aside, a nervous wreck and a martyr to our own desire, that our left hand, should know what our right hand doeth? Of course there are exceptions to this where money is not to be had, where time is of little value, where leisure is one's stock in trade, but to the ordin ary housekeeper and homemaker or woman employed in town in an office, would it not be better to look to the future, ,and restrain our desire to shine? Let us carefully consider where our best energies are due, then "do our best and leave tne rest."— Brown Book. CONVENIENT HOUSE APRON. It Enables a Housekeeper to Go from Kitchen to Parlor Without Change of Dresis. Every housekeeper thoroughly un derstands the value of a good, well fitting apron as a protection to the clothing.' It is almost indispensable in the kitchen, and though no longer worn as an ornament one has only to look over the assortment at a fair or bazar to realize that the apron, if no longer the fashion, is still use ful in a large variety of our modern occupations. A busy housekeeper of this city oc casionally strays from her kitchen to the sitting room, or even to the front door, wearing a simple but conven ient apron which "fills the bill" better than any with which we are acqainted. Arrayed in it, and with the half sleeves _which cover the lower part of her kitchen and prepare a meal and. doffing the apron, present herself dain tily and freshly dressed before her guests at the table. The apron should be made of wide goods if the following instructions are followed otherwise it may be necessary to piece small gorea on1 the front breadth and to allow extra fof the half sleeves: Take two full lengths of cloth, meas uring from the armpits, or where the top of the bib would come, to the bot- DIAGRAM OF APRON. torn of the dress. Cut the half sleeves (which reach from waist to but not over the elbow and have rubber bands run in top |and bottom) from one length, and tf&r the remainder in two lengthwise. Slope the other length from the full width at the bottom to the width desired for the bib at the top, and from the gores cut the pockets and the shoulder straps and-also the binding for the back breadths, which are gathered to fit the waist. The dot ted lines represent twer darts, which take out the fulness and shape the front. Hem the shoulder straps and stitch them to the top of the bib, taking care to place them so that the edge of the front breadth and the strap slope the same way, so that the straps will fit well When crossed on the back. Make a buttonhole at the end of each strap and either use one large button to fasten, the binding and hold the straps, or place a button about an inch from each end of the binding Hem, and your apron is done, With the aid of the machine the work is quickly fin ished. Some who have used this pattern finish round-the bottom with a ruffle a. quarter of a yard deep, as a protec tion to the bottom of the dress, the idea being that the fulness of the'ruffle will catch any drops, etc., that might otherwise fall on the dress.
