Horn* Decoration.
When the new house U papered, do j
not Lave the hall and stairway touched
until after the furniture has been
moved In. The most careful of mov
ers find It difficult, particularly when
there Is a square stulrvase, to lift the
awkward, heavy bureaus and beds up
stairs without grazing the walls.
If the walls are already papered,
hang sheets along the staircase walls
so that the paper will at least not be
come soiled.
The hall carpet or rugs should not
be laid until after the moving Is fin
ished. bnt the rest of the carpets should
be put down before the family effects
are put In.

And they are seldom disappointed. They buy that kind- The
fact that a shoe should feel comfortable from the start is un
known to them because they have never felt the luxury putting
on a rightly made shoe. They overlook the fact that HAN AN
shoe at its price erives the wear o ' two pairs of the kind they buy.
They for get also, that a
HHNHN SHOE
offers more real comfort when new than their kind of shoes offer
after months of wear? that it starts out a smart, stylish shoe, and
ends just as smart and stylish. There are not so many such peo
ple as there used to be. We know this because we sell so many
more HAN AN shoes than we used. Maybe you would like to
pro^e these facts- We have just received a new shipment and
can give you many styles to select from.
ALARM FOR SELF BINDERS.
Device Sound* Signal In Cat* of Im
proper Feeding of Twine.
Considerable trouble Is experienced
lu (tie operation of self binding harvest
ers. due to the tangling or knotting of
ibe twine and Its consequent breaking.
To overcome this difficulty a recent
patent provides an alarm device which,
in case of Improper feeding of the
twine, will give a signal to the driver
lu tluie to have him stop the machine
before the twine Is broken, and thus
save the delay aud Inconvenience
which would otherwise be entailed lu
rethreadlng the mechanism.
The accompanying engraving Illus
trates the alarm device. The twine Is
SKLF BISPKJt AT.A11J1.
held in n receptacle. A, and passe> out
through an opeuing In tbe top. Thence
tbe I wine B Is led ilown over the side
and threaded through an eye carried
at the bottom of a rod C. From this
point it is led back through an eye at
the top of the receptacle and thence
to the mechanism of the binder. The
rod C U mounted to slide vertically iu
a slide way. Intermediate of its length
It Is provided with a pin. which bears
against one arm of the lever D. The
opposite arm of this lever carries a
hammer head adapted to strike tbe
gong E when It Is released from en
gagement with the pin on the rod, the
striking being effected by a coll spring,
which exerts a tension on the lever. In
operation, should the twine become
knotted and feed Improperly out of the
receptacle, tbe rod C would be lifted
up to the dotted position shown in
the engraving, thus disengaging the
le>er D and sounding the goug. The
length of twine B, extending down to
the bottom of rod D and Imck again,
la such that tbe operator would have
time to stop the machine before the
twine would break. A patent on this
novel attachment has lieen granted to
Mr. Louis J. Phillips of Foss, Oklaho
ma territory.
Pawl Yard Chatter.
The sitting hen does not get fat, but
she serves a useful purpose all tbe
same.
Remember that neatness In the poul
try yards pays In dollars and cents.
Geese and turkeys require plenty of
range and ordinarily will not pay un
less this can be provided.
Salt butter glveu early In the day
before other footi will cure as well as
prevent gapes.
As sooq as the young turkeys are
reasonably well feathered one of the
best places for them is In tbe orchard.
Never wnsh eggs that are to be set.
The shells are very porous and will
absorb sufficient water to spoil them.
If egg* taken from uuder a hen
have rotted, It la proof that they were
fertile.
