Pretty Home Made Rugs.

One often sees circular rugs made Of plat
ed cotton rage spread about On the floor Of
frugal housewives; but ! wonder that more
farmers wives DO no; appreciate the reall,
artistic rug made by piecing together thin
strips Of wooden cloth Of all lengths and
oolors, and then knitting them into .trips
garter fashion. With two large wooden nee
dies. II g circular mat is wanted. knit all
the material into one long, narrow strip. a..
ternsting the colors and varying them as
much as possible. and using a good deal Of
black 10 sepa- e them and sew together IN
10 shape, in the same manner as the rugs
made Of plated rags are sewn. If VOW want
square or oblong rug. knit in strips the
desired length till you have the necessary
number, and then sew them together. A
very pretty fringe is made for either the
round or square rugs BY pieoing the rags
together in the same way as for knitting the
strips, then winding them over a round
stick, fixing them securely in shape with
line. or stitching with strong carpet thread,
and then sliding it of the stick. and sewing
II 10 the edge Of the rug, on the same line
of stitching to secure it in place.
The work is quite fascinating as it grows
so fast under your hands. and the aternat-
ing Of colors varies the monotony Black is
the best groundwork for all other colors.
and fortunately there is always more Of it to
be easily obtained. The arrangement of the
eolors is pleasing occupation for the mind.
The strips can be knit in squares, red, blue.
yellow, green, &c, each colored square al
teFnating with black one, or every other
strip may be of plain color, alternating
with black strip. Thus, one red strip. one
black strip, one blue strip. one black strip.
and so on. for if you have a great deal of
single bright color you can make one-half Of
the strips Of that. and alternate with black.
Besides being pretty it is the most economi-
cal sort of work, as all the snippings and
trimmings Of all sorts of wooden stuff that
are too small 10 be put TO any other use can
be used up in this way. and the rugs when
well made are nice enough for the parlor
an sitting room. Ii is just the work at
which to set the children, boys as well as
@, rIs on rainy day. The quick succession
of colors will make il interesting to them

individuality of the Horse

One thing curious and interesting about
the horse is its individuality. This IS
Characteristic common to all animals, I'M
douhtedlv to a greater or less degree. but
SURPRISINGLY so, NE think. in the case OF
the horse. How this characteristic varies
in horses is well known by any one who

good roadster. The individuality Of horses
varies as much as men. Every one has
dlfereut mental as well a. physical
make-up. Some horses seem to possess
brains. To- have some sense. are quick to
