An Umbrella Case

For an umbrella case, to hold two silk umbrel-
las, buy yard and an eighth of stout gray linen.
Cut from this two pieces, each ten inches wide,
and slope from top to bottom, making the bot
tom six inches across. Now, from the rest Of
the linen cut two strips thirty inches long seven
inches broad at top and four inches at the bet
TOM Bind each of these with seal-brown mo-
hair braid. Work ON the wide part of
each an umbrella in brown crewels, and stitch
on to of the pieces already cut to form
pockets, leaving open at top for the umbrella
handle and at bottom for the ferrule to pass
through. The back should extend eight inches
beyond the pockets at top, two inches at bot
tom and one inch on the sides, and the top
should be slightly rounded. On the space left
above the pocket embroider the initials or mono
gram of the person for whom the umbrella case
is intended, aud basic the part which you have
finished onto the strip left, with interlining
of buckram; round off the top to match the first
piece and bind together all round with brown
braid Sew brass rings at the top and bottom
to hang the case to the wall, and the work is
done.

Household Hints,

A buffet scarf of cream monte linen with
borders of autumn leaves In kensIngton stitch
is very effective
Bags made of crazy patchwork are trimmed
with gold fringe or tassels and are closed with
ribbon drawing strings
Dust aprons made of fine unbleached muslin
have the hens worked in feather stitch On one
OF the pockets is a cobweb in outline stitch, and
on the other brush.
Muffs that have seen service may be renovated
at home to suit the present fashion with little
labor They may be covered with velvet or
or they may match the bonnet or dress, or be a
combination of the dress material and bonnet
trimming Ribbon, lace, chenille, birds,
flowers and jet ornaments are used for trim
ming
A pretty pin-cushion, which is intended to be
hung the wall near the dressng-cdse, has q
round center of brown velvet of the size and
color of the center of sunfower. Surrounding
this are leaves petals of yellow velvet pointed
and put on with very small pleat in the mid
die, so that the point will stand out stif1y. Make
1t look as nearly like sunfower as possible
The pins are to be put in the brown center, that
being the cushion.
Every one knows how difficult it is to induce a
patient to take cod-liver OIL and how the taste
is abhorred by most people. A perfectly simple
way to prepare it is to drop the desired dose into
a little glass of cold water; the oil will form a
globule that is easily swallowed. Take swal
low of cold water; then drink rapidly from the
glass, keep the mouth closed tightly for min
ute, and when you open it you will be surprised
to find that no unpleasant taste is left in the
mouth.
If person swallows any poison whatever, Or
has fallen into commissions from having over
loaded his stomach, an instantaneous remedy is
heaping teaspeonful of common salt, as much
ground mustard stirred rapidly in teacup of
water warm or cold, and swallowed instantly
1t is scarcely down before it begins to come up,
bringing with it the remaining contents of the
stomach; and lest there be any remnant of
poison however, let the white of an egg or a
teacup of strong coffee be swallowed as as
the stomach is quiet; because these very COM
mon articles nullify large number of virulent
pOiSonS.
An ornamental and convenient wall-poeket is
made by covering large palm leaf fan with
wadding under it, so that the ribs in the fan will
not show. The silk must be put smoothly over
it. The handle Of the fan must when it is hung
on the wall, be at the lefthand side not inclined
at ALL but pointing straight toward the left A
pocket is to be shirred the fan; it is
cut rounding at the bottom and straight across
the top At the top Of the pocket put bow OF
ribbon. Above the pocket on the plain silk
work, in delicate gray etching silk, spiders
web, and at one side pin on a metal spider,
which can be obtained at milliner's store.
This makes apretty ornament for the wall of any
room.

Portable Barbed-wire Fence.

0. s. Bliss, in New York Tribune.
The rail is 2x4 sawed hemloek, of such lengths
as we buy at the nails and lumber yards, gener-
ally about 12a feet. They cost ten cents each.
These are framed to two posts of 3x4 timber,
feet 8 inches long, which cost nine cents.
The adjacent end pieces or posts of two lengths
set into one removable foot, made of two pieces
of timber and two pieces of boards, which cost
six cents, and two. three or more strands OF
barbed fencing are used. Before prices OF
harbed fencing became demoraliZed, under the
recent decision of the United States courts 1t
cost me from nineteen to twenty seven cents
length for three strands of different kinds of
fencing Prices are now less. Nails and
staples cost less than two cents. Total cost of
material, about fifty cents length of l3a feet.
A fair mechanic can make thirty or forty
lengths day. A good Farmland can make half
as many on the barn-foor any rainy day. One
man can take length and the post to support 1T,
and carry it anywhere, though, on account of its
peculiar shape and the prominence of the barbs,
it is good deal better that one should take hold
at each end. No post-holes are required and no
preparation of the ground is necessary except to
see that it is level No mailing or tying together
is required. 1t is simply set down, and it is
there, and stays there till it is taken up and car
ried away 1t has the advantage over all wire
fences that the rail is not only visible, but it
serves as a four-jnch guard to keep the animals
wire above and one below the rail makes good
fence against all cattle and horses. One above
and two below, or two above and one below,
makes good fence against sheep and full grown
swine. When built of Buckthorn solid steel
barbed fencing, with the rail placed next the
top strand and neatly painted, it is much the
finest looking fence into which the barbed fenc
roundngs is really the most ornamental of all
cheap fences.

from the hahy's teeth without injury to
the gum, and with benefitto the teeth Nothing
is more common than to see lutte boys and girls
use they are deprived before the second teeth
are near ready to appear. Some people at
tribute this to the constant munching of candy,
particles of sugar and candy being left upon or
between the teeth, but it is true also that parti-
ces of food will act in much the same way; per-
feet cleanliness should be observed The chill
dren should be fed with reference to their teeth.
The corn bread upon which the negro depends
may well be given to cur children. The good
effects of forming the habit in early childhood of
caring for the teeth will be felt at three score
and ten.

Winter TOp-Dressinc q.
Country Gentleman.


The practice of top-dressing the ground about
young trees, both for protection from cold and
for enriching the land by washing, which was
formerly so rare, has now become widely
adopted by cultivators. But the fault still pre-
walls of applying too small circle of manure.
Writers often recommend extending the top
dressed circle DIS far out as the spread of the
branches; but this is not half enough. The
many examinations we have made show that
the roots always extend from each side Of the
trunk or stem to distance at least equal to the
height of the tree, forming circle of roots, the
diameter of which is twice as great as the height
of the tree We have, on former
occasion, alluded to this subject; but tt.
show the insuficieucy of the con- non
practice, we have measured a nur",oar of
trees with the spread of their tops, ,th the fol-
lowing results: young peach rec seven feet
high. had a head four feet in diameter or with
branches extending two ieet away from the cen
ter stem Inc coIn-non rule would direct that a
circle OF manure De applied four feetin diameter,
Whlie the real extent of the roots reach a circle
twice ene height, or fourteen feet the area of
W4l1ch, as figures show, is at least twelve times
as great as the four-foot circle. An older peach
tree was twelve feet high with seven-foot head
The roots occupy circle twenty four feet in
diameter, which is eleven times as great as the
seven-foot circle of the branches. An erect
cherry tree was fifteen feet high with head
nine feet in diameter in which the area of the
roots were eleven times as great as the area in
dcated by the spread of the branches. Top
dressing, therefore, to be of much use, must ex-
tend over broad surface.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE FARM.
Agriculture in the south.

Agriculture in the South.
Jacksonville Fla. Letter, in Hartford Times.
The great need of the South is grass The
Commissioner of Agriculture could not do this
country greater good than 10 have the energies
of the department turned in the direction of
hunting up something that will flourish in the
Southern States, upon which horned stock will
thrive and fatten. His experiments in tea cul
ture are not half so important. We all can get
along much better without home grown tea than
the cattle of the South without hay. If it is inn
possible to do much with the Bermuda grass"
and impossible to find grass that will grow in
the South, then let the people of the Southern
States begin at once the cultivation of fodder
crop. No farmer can import hay from the
North and make stock-growing profitable. And
without stock his lands are growing poorer, year
by year. The South is full Of poor farmers, in
every sense of the word, and it will never rise
above the point of getting a mere existence I'M
less there are radical changes in its agriculture.
Commercial fertilizers may aii the Southern
farmer, but they will never save him from that
sure poverty that broods over his fields, and
upon which the sheriff will enter foreclosure" in
the record at no distant day. met on my way
here Virginian who as they used to say out
West had 'level headp on all questions, po-
litical as well as industrial He said: 1.-THE South
needs good farmers more than anything else
You of the North work, and study into the needs
of the land. Our farmers, after the crop is
made devote the winter months to loafiing.
They spend their whole time, from autumn until
spring, in fox hunting and poker-playing. If.
they would get out muck and make compost
heaps, to be applied to the next crop, they
would be more successful, and their farms
would be greatly improved. The South needs
Northern men more than anything else-it needs
good example as well as money"
This was the talk of reconstructed rebel.
and he could not have more squarely hit the nail
on the head if he had spent his whole life in the
study of the situation, North and South. When
the closed he had been left fat on his back Pc
cuniarily; but, instead of Ian onting the past,
he had gone to work, and his appearance indi-
Gated that he had become prosperous He GER
tainly had sound theories. The climate makes
anyone lazy in the South, and having already
feltit seductive influence do not wonder that
this is slow going community, when compared
with the Northern stir and hustle. Jacksonville,
and in fact much of Florida, is under Northern
influence; but when milk sells for ten cents
quart, when the beef is SO poor and t6ugh that
you cannot eat it. and when your b4cter and
cheese all come from the North, one cannot
help thinking that something needs to be done
at once to improve Southern methods in agri-
culture. The commission merchant and store
keeper holds mortgage on every mans labor,
which he has had discounted in anticipation of
next crop.

AN AMERICAN ARIsToCEAT.
The Indian with His Privileges Is the Real
Aristocrat of the Land.
Century for January.

Century for January.
There is a mistaken notion among the phlan-
thropic people in the East that the Indian is a
much abused person, who is entitled to the
sympathy of mankind Unquestonably there
have been plenty Of instances of broken treaties
and individual and tribal wrongs, but looking at
the matter, not from the historical, but from
the actual point of view, it must be admitted
that the aborigine on a reservation has more
rights and privileges than white man
enjoys. IF / could have the privileges
on this reservation which the Indian
has" said Major Roman, the Indian
agent, as we were driving through the lovely
Mission valley, II would resign my Office at
once settle down on one of these streams, fence
in all the land | wanted, and get me big herd
of cattle The Indian or half breed explained
the agent can inclose as much land as he pleases,
and use much more as he wants for stock
range He pays no taxes, and rides free on the
railroad. If his tools get out of repair, or his
horses need shoeing, the government employs
blacksmith to work for him. He takes his wheat
to the agency four-mil where it is ground by
the government and his logs to the agency saw
mill, to be made into lumber of the dimensions
he wishes If he is sick, the government
supplies him with medicines and doctor.
The missionaries educate his children In a
boarding school, and finish him with the
comforts of religion without charge Ii too
idle TO work he knows that the governm<n
will in event let him stafve. LII re tries
he can become rich man by the mere increase
of his cattle and horses, Now how does 1t stand
with the white citizens? Instead of thousands
of acres he can get from the government only
one hundred and sixty, and on them he must
pay taxes aud rustic for living, as the West
ern phrase goes.
| The Indian is our American aristocrat. He
| owns the whole landscape; he tolls not save in
| ftful way as suits his pleasure, and he
| spends mis- time in hunting. fishing, horse
racing. gambling and loafing 1t will be
argued, know, that the Indians once owned the
whole country, and that their reservations
and the privileges they have upon them are, after
| ALL but small compensation for what they have
lost. This again, is mistake. No people own
| aeountry because they over it before 9TH
| ers come to share its occupancy. If a. few hun
| dred white men should chance to be the first in
habitants of a territory large enough for great
| State, who would say that they owned all the
land by reason of that circumstance

A Winter Evening Game.
Southern Home and Farm.


game called Character is very good. Let
one person leave the room, and during his alb
sence some parsonage of history or fiction be
selected. Upon his return address him as if he
were the person upon whom you have fixed, and
he is to guess who it is by your remarks The
one by whose remark the name was guessed
must In his turn go out AS an example: if the
person on entering is asked by one, "Did
you get wet" By another, 'Doyou enjoy soil
tudeF By third "Why do you carry
an umbrella when the sun shinesp By
fourth, DO you like Fridayp He
soon guesses that Robinson Crusoe VISA
the character chosen, and the one who asked the
fourth question must next be the guesser. An
other method of playing the game is by sending
out two players who fix on the character and on
their return talk about it together until it is
guessed by one of the persons in the room, who
may then choose a companion and enact the
next character, In some cases where still greater
variety is desired they may dress in costume and
act the leading incidents of the life of the person
they have chosen, and then if the name is not
guessed they may act each syllable of the name
in charade, If it is suitable for such division, as
is often she case. By thus changing the method
Of playing a great deal of amusement and in
struction may be derived from this game.
