For Handu Bqus and " - -A Girls to Make and Do (Copyright by By A. NEELY HALL. i WHEN YOU GO ON A "HIKE." No doubt you have all heard of "blazed trails," where the bark of trees is chopped off in places to mark the path taken. To indicate that the trail lies straight ahead, the woodsman SlCNSOFTHE TRAM. STRAIGHT TURN TO TURN TO WARNING! AMAOI RlGHTI LETT I i Knotted-Geasses 'Signs Straight turn to turn to aheaoi Right lefti. 2 -TWIG-SIGNS STRAIGHT TURN TO TURN TO WARNING! AHEAD! RIGHT! LEFT I 3 Stone-Heap-Signs chops off a piece of bark every now and then from the side of a tree fac ing the trail, then where a turn is made, he cuts or "blazes" the nearest tree to that turn in the same way, and makes an additional cut upon the right or left of this, according to whether the turn is made to the right or left, Unless you carry a small ax with you, you will not be able to make blazed trails, though you should re member how to read them. The three sets of signs shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 will be of more use to you. The knotted-grasses signs, shown in Fig. 1, are often used in marking a trail across a prairie, and are a very sim ple form of marking. The danger sig' nal is useful in giving warning of a dangerous place ahead, and is intend' ed to put you upon your guard. The twig signs (Fig. 2), which are made by breaking the ends of tree branches or bushes in such a manner that the broken ends will hang down and point away from the direction to be taken, is Mow-to Usea-Watch as -a -Compass- another good method. One advantage of this scheme is that on the return trip the silver sides of the leaves of the broken twigs will face you, and thus be easily distinguished from the surrounding leaves. The stone-heap signs (Fig. 3) are generally used where there are no trees to blaze. It is a good plan to carry a compass when tramping, but if you lose your directions when without a compass, your watch will , help you out of. the difficulty. Hold the watch as shown In Fig. 4, with the hour hand pointed to ward the sun," then halfway between the point of the hour hand and the 12 o'clock figure will be south. If the face of a watch were divided into 24 hours, the 12 o'clock mark would al ways lay in the direction of south, but as it is divided into only one-half that many hours, it is necessary to take the point halfway between the hour hand and 12 o'clock. Thus, at 4 p. m. south will lie approximately in the di rection of 2 o'clock, while at 8 a. m. it will lie approximately in the direction of 10 o'clock. A folded paper cup is extremely simple to make, and you will often Mow to -Fold a PAPEE -DCINKINOCUP- have occasion to make one, when a cup is not at hand. Tear a piece of clean paper bo it will measure eight or' nine inches square (Fig. 6); fold the corner A over to the opposite cor ner (Fig. 7), fold corner B over to the position shown in Fig. 8, fold corner C over to the position shown in Fig. 9, turn down the upper corner D as in Fig. 10, and turn down corner E on the opposite side. Spread the upper edges apart, and the cup is completed. 4 A. Neely Hall) By DOROTHY PERKINS. NEW IDEAS FOR HOMEMADE JEWELRY. Necklaces, lavallieres, pendants, bracelets, watch-fobs, and all manner of pieces of jewelry, large and Bmall and of attractive design, may be made by the new process which I am going to tell you about. The materials need ed are Inexpensive cornstarch, com mon table salt, cold water, fruit color ing or water-colors, small crystal beads and pearl beads. The cornstarch, salt and water must be made into a mixture for modeling, in the proportions of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, to 2 tablespoons of salt, to 1 tablespoon of cold water. If you wish the material colored, first add the dye to the watec. Mix, the water with the cornstarch, then heat the salt in a small pan, and when "piping hot" pour it in with the cornstarch and knead with your , fingers until thoroughly mixed. Fancy hatpins are the simplest things to start with, and Figs. 1 to 5 show several pins with prettily de signed heads that are easy to make. You need a common hatpin for tha foundation, and you must build the fancy head upon this, molding the corn starch mixture about the common head into the form you prefer to have it The beads on the top of the head shown in Fig. 5 are pearl beads, and are pressed into the molded head be fore the mixture hardens. The beads of the bracelet shown in Fig. 6 are made of the cornstarch mix ture, with crystal beads placed be tween them, and they are strung upon a string ef silk cord. Roll the corn starch beads between the palms of your hands until they are perfectly round, then tierce holes through them before they harden, to prepare them for stringing. The watch-fob, (Fig. 7) has a pend ant made of the cornstarch mixture. The irregular-shaped piece in the cen ter of the face may be a fancy button or a piece of colored glass. The ring at the top of the pendant is a fancy-work ring, and it is securely fast ened with a small hairpin looped over it and extended down through the cen ter of the pendant. A piece of silk rib bon, joined to the fancy-work ring and to the watch ring, completes the fob. A cross pendant has a small hairpin extending from the, top down through the center, with just enough of the loop left exposed at the top to form a ring. Small pearl bead3 arepressed into one face in rows, to complete the cross. A lavalliere has a pendant made of the cornstarch material, but the beads are pearl beads. A hairpin must be embedded in the pendant to attach the cord to. Arrange the beads upon a silk cord. Getting It Straight. Kwoter After all, it's a true saying fhat "he laughs best who laughs last." Wise Not at all. The really true saying is, "He laughs best whose laugh lasts." - 1 3 1 5 4 " .

Both sexes aro the same in color, but in this variety the male or gander is . somewhat larger, has a larger head, longer neck, and carries himself more erect. The voice of the female is coarser than that of the male, a point that is relied upon quite generally by ex perienced growers of these fowls. Gilbert says there is an embarrass ing' likeness between the gander and the goose, and out of the breeding season it is not easy at first tinEulsh between them, wji young goslings long baffle co as to their sex. Yet certain distinctions manifest themselves, as for i the noise, the gander's his; more shrill and sibilant tj goose's. I ' Newman says that when seven months of age, or at nl the ganders can be told geese by observation. In movca&tji. the male grows somewhat largjer than the female. f"' The goose is deeper in the body, a trifle slimmer in the neck, and smaller in the neck. The call of the gander is loud, long and shrill, while that of the goose is merely an answer to it. There is a curious plan to deter mine sex adopted in Cambridgeshire, England. All the geese are shut in a stable or a pig-sty. A small dog is then put in. It is said the geese will all lift up their heads and go to the back of the place, while the ganders will lower and stretch out their necks, hissing all the time. Gilbert refers to the same method, sayin- the ganders will put their heads down at the dog and hiss, while the geese will keep their heads up and try to avoid the intruder. Work for a reputation. The fresher the eggs for hatching the better will be the hatch. Are the quarters provided for the chickens clean and sanitary? A well ventilated cellar is the best place to operate the incubator. Sprout your light oats for green food. The hens like them best that way. a If several hens are set in one loom It is desirable to confine them in good nests. Too many people, especially novices, think it essential to build costly poul try houses. For fattening old or young chick ens, nothing beats a wet mash of corn meal and milk. The best results in natural hatch ing will be obtained when the hens are set on the ground. Don't forget to hatch a few hen eggs under hens. They will make big, vigorous breeders when mature. Free range chickens are never .0 tender for roasting as those with lim ited range and fed on pure feed. All eggs should be tested by tLa seventh dajt which often makes it possible to reset sc-ms of the hens. ' Keep a chronic setting hen frota flelfcog any warmth under her body and yu will break her of the habit. . The hsmble hen is a 'big factor 'n the profits of the farm, but she needs attention just as much as anything else. The best place for the incubatjr is the one where the terriperature Is most nearly uniform from day to dry, under natural conditions. Be mighty careful to see that year setting hen is not overrun with lico. In producing louse-free chicks the In cubator certainly has it on the hen. It is always the hen that lays the most eggs that produces the meet chicks. In breeders, high fertility Is ,morn to be desired than high production. X MA I x I I jprove- Toulouse Geese.
