ways sure of finding timely and practi-
cal suggestions for making useful arti-
Giles and for decorating the home, a num-
Der of directions for needle-work are

mer vacations. Crocheting and knitting,
to which the magazine is especially de-
voted, are well represented by illustra-
tions, and working directions for making
many pretty and useful garments. Bead
work. which promises to become as pop
ular as in the olden time, has an article
devoted to it, and other special papers
describe Russian embroidery and the re-
vived Makart boquets. The books of the
month which are best calculated to inter-
est women, are reviewed; and many
practical hints may be found in the care
fully edited column, ''Answers to Core

How to laundry linen as it is done in
Troy, N. Y. has been kept a secret long
enough; it can and should be done in
every family. The Elastic Starchthat is
only starch in the United States is the
put up by men who have a practical
knowledge of the laundry profession. 1t
requires no cooking, keeps the iron from
sticking and linen from blistering while
ironing, and gives shirts, cuffs and COLL
ars that stiffness and beautiful polish
they have when new, which, everybody
knows, keeps them clean twice as long.

Gen. John C. Black, the remarkable
man who is muddling pension matters
as the head of the pension bureau,
thought the lightning might strike him
when Gen. Logan and Col. Morrison
were having their neck and neck race
for the United States senatorship i'll the
Illinois legislature last spring. Black
got just one vote. 1t was cast by a man
named Browning. Events since then
go to prove that Browning knew what
wanted to be special examiner of pen
sion claims, but was rejected by the
civil-service board, being unable to pass
the requisite examination. But Black
has appointed him to the office, notwith-
standing, and the fellow has his reward.

CONSISTENT IN HIS DEATH.-The in
cineratiOn of DR.. Dio Lewis remains at
Mt. Olivet crematOry, l.. l., furnishes
an instance of consistency and devotion
to principle to the end. The doctors
life was devoted to the advocacy of prin-
ciples of hygiene and sanitary reform,
and in death he was true to his theories,
providing that his body be cTemated in
stead of allowing the ordinary method
of burial. This provision for his re-
mains was not the eccentric whim of a
crank who merely craved notOriety, but
the deliberate wish of a sensible man
whose career in medical matters has
been successful and whose measures
have done much toward the preserva
ton of life He believed in cremation
as the best method of dispOsing of the
body after death, and especially of i'm
portance to the welfare of the living, in
the removal of the causes of diseases
resulting from decay.

Watermelons require a very rich,
warm, sandy loan.
Keep a sharp lookout in the orchard
for the nests of the tent caterpillar.
There is usually too much pig pen
and not enough pig pasture.
Fowls prefer, as we'll as need, good
pure, cold water, especially in warm,
sultry weather.
This is a season of the year when
sheep need special care, particularly
the ewes that are in lamb.
1t will pay to take pains and plant
all large, fiat seeds, like squash, mel
on and Lima beans, edgewise.
Mulching the strawberries increases
the size of the fruit, as well as the
yield. 1t keeps the berries clean and
therefore in a more marketable condi-
ton.
A Maine farmer says that three
bushels of plaster on grass land is as
effective as are six bushels. He ap-
plies it just before rain, after the
ground becomes bare in the spring.
A new remedy for milk-fever con-
sists simply in covering the back of
the COW with a wooden cloth and then
rubbing the spine with a hot iat-iron.
The great secret in raising young
ducks is not to allow them to get wet.
Give them all the water they can
drink, in vessels so constructed as to
permit them to reach the water only
with their bills.
There is no doubt that horses often
suffer severely from thirst. Regular
watering twice or thrice a day is not
enough, especially when exercising
and perspiring. In such cases they
should frequently have water offered
them.
1t appears that many fruits acquire
most of their growth by night. The
fruit of the cherry laurel, for instance,

cent. at night and only ten by day,
while apples increase eighty per cent.
