A PAGE EIGHT ADAPTED TO SHOPPER’S NEED Strong Bag That Will Hold a Variety of Purchases, to Be Constructed 5 of Remnants. Nowadays it'is absolutely necessary to take a strong and roomy bag when doing the daily shoppiiig, and our sketch shows a very handy type of bag for this purpose. It can be carried out with a rem- nant of thin stair carpet or any other strong material, and can be made in any size to sult different requirements. The diagram on the right of the illus. tration roughly gives the shape of the plece of material ‘that will be re- quired; it is folded at the point Shopping Bag. marked by the dotted line, and sewn together at the sides. The opening of the bag is bound with brald, and just below this a number of eyelets are let\in, and through these eyelets a plece 'of strong blind-cord is thread- ed, by which the opening may be drawn together, and also by which the bag may be carried. Sewn on In front of the bag and bound at the edge with tape 1s a small- linen pocket, into which bills may be slipped. He Saw Very Well. 1 had employed a piano tuner for geveral years who was blind, writes a correspondent. One day he. brought | another man when he came to tune the piano, asking my permission to teach him some things about piano tuning. I left them in the parlor by them- selves and when they had finished, I was dressing to go out. Knowing they were blind and rather than keep them waiting, I went in to pay the tuner in rather scant attire. . I remarked to the stranger, “It is nfve for you blind people that there Is| work like this for you to do.” “Oh, madam,” he replied, “I'm not blind; In fact, I see very well.” - 1 nearly died and fled from the room. Cure for Poigon lvy. Mrs. Evelyn S. Trenbath, wife of the Rev. Robert \V. Trenbath, rector of St. James’s Episcopal church of Montclair. N. J., has conferred a boon on suffer- ers from ;poison vy by announcing a remedy which those who have trled it say is & most eflicaclous remedy. It is simply the green leaves of common catnip rubbed on the affected parts un- til the juice runs. This never fails, Mrs. Trenbath says, no matter how advanced the case may be, and Is simple to use. especially in the case of children. The plant grows usually in great abundance behind old barns. and is sald to be so antagonis- te to the Ivy that if planted near it the ivy disappears. Chinatown Hides Joss. The transforming of Chinatown that has been in progress for a decade has finally thrust its Americanizing Influ- ences into the Chinese temple in Mott street with the result that the joss and lesser idols have been relegated to a dusty closet. For years the joss was one of the attractions of China- town and every well-conducted party was led before the idol that occupied a prominent position in the council hal} of the temple.—New York Times. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER e Rat Skins for Leathef The suggestion has'been made that the rat problem might be best solved by making use of the skin§ of the rodents for the purpose of leather. * Somebody with the gift of guessing computes that there are 10,000.000 In this country, and the damage they do would feed a good-sized army. It would take at least 5,000 skins a day to supply a small modern tannery. * Nobody wants the rats, they belong to anybody that can catch them. That is the problem—to catch them, and then deliver the goods. There is not enough leather to go around. Fish skins are susceptible of tan- ning, and there are rat skins which || make good leather, large enough for || many purposes. An Easy Plan. “Qur house is full of old furniture that we ought to throw away, yet my husband thinks it is too good to de- stroy. I wish I knew of some way of wearing it out quickly,” says the lady with the coral eardrops. “Why don’t you rent the house fur nished for the summer?” asks the lady, ‘with the purple vefl.
