Presidential electioneering work at
Washington is daily exhibited to the
public in the vast number of campaign
lies early Matched and flying through
the air. Some Of them are mildly called
"canards" and become partially discred-
tied, while the majority are calculated
for summer use in the rural districts.
Unsuspecting readers will be astonished
to learn that lot of unprincipled 30.
hemians are already employed and at
work in the coming campaign currency
for one side or the other, and that this
business is tolerated by men who as
sumo to be respected.

Decorative Notes.

SLIPPER BAGs-Large bags to place slip.
pers in for parties, or to carry ruDbers
or waterproof to opera CT theater, are
made of gray, brown or stone color with
a monog:a embroidered, braided OF
outlined in the center.
COMB CAsEs-Cascs for brushes. combs
and sponges are not hard to make, and
useful in protecting them from dust.
Brush broom cases ornamented with ap-
worked in silk, or with bunch of flow.
ers are very pretty.
WINDOW CURrA1Ns-Very pretty and
inexpensive curtains can be made oil
cheese cloth, and the materials REQUIRED
for an ordinary.sized window cost only
$3.50. They can be made with or with.
out q border, and are pretty. eithe,
way.
Should the border not be used, turn
. hem three inches wide down the
front, and across the bottom of the
curtain. This should be caught down
with herring-bone stitch in gold-colored
silk.
The curtain is then embroidered over
with rings, double rings may be called,
executed in chain stitch with embroid.
cry silk.
In each set of rings there should be
one of gold silk, the other of different
color, such as gold and blue, gold and
cardinal. gold and green. Brown will
also contrast prettily with gold. Crewels
may be used instead of silk, although in
that case the embroidery will present a
heavier appearance.
They can be hung on poles or cor
nices, which ever may be most conven.
lent, although poles are almost invariably
used.
The curtains are very pretty if made
with border Of darned work, and, for
design, sprays Of autumn leaves can be
arranged with good effect, embroidering
each spray with different colored silks,
cardinal, gold, brown and green. Draw
the stitches from point to stem of the
leaf, and then darn back and forth
through the silk stitches only from side
to side Of each leaf, as in darning a stock
ing, but do not let the ct tches sew
through the material. Then outline
each leaf round the edge with the same
color in chain-stitch. This shows each
LEST in solid color on the light ground.
A straight line of herring.bone stitch
on the inside of the border. dividing
it. from the groundwork OF
the curtain, gives a pretty
finish. They have somewhat tho ap-
pearance of the Madras curtains now so
much used. and as the work is not at all
difficult, one feels we'll repaid when the
pretty drapery is hung at the windows.
CArcuAL1s.-Pretty catchalls are made
of paper fans, with the rivet which
holds the sticks together withdrawn and
a cord substituted. The fan is drawn
together aud one stick Tapped upon the
other and fastened, thus making cone
shaped receptacle. A cornucopia of
coarse, strong paper is fitted into this,
and ribbon passed in and out between
the sticks form bows in front. A ribbon
loop is attached by which to suspend
the catchall.

Roads That Need Reforming.

Major Hugh T. Brooks remarks that
the cost of bad roads can never be sum-
med up till We are able to compute the
value of time, life, health and happi-
ness. Part of his tale of ''friphtful
losses" traceab]e to this source. We
quote from Rural Home:
Here are farmers going ten miles to
market with forty bushels of wheat
when they might draw eighty with more
ease If the roads were suitably graded
and prepared-half the dav thrown
away. A we'll broken team will move
several tons on a road level smooth and

rutty ways. Here are persons going on
moonless midnights to minister TO the
SICK and dying, themselves in imminent
danger from the protuberances. pits and
