THAT OLD SOFA.
How II Can 30 Transformed Into u New
One.


The most ambitious housekecper some
times becomes discouraged In her efforts
to make things look attractive as well as
comfortable by the tendency of much-used
pieces Of furniture to grow shabby. Often
the most Indispensable article in the room,
which for economical reasons can not be
replaced with new, is the worst looking !;
the sofa or lounge by reason of much usage
has become depressed and hideous looking,
the m5ney which is needed 70 re-upholster
it is not forthcoming, and the home fairy's 8
ambitious wings droop dejectedly as she
gazcs al its defects.
But q fairy's business Is transformation,
and that old sofi or lounge can be trans
formed without much expense. Buy somo
striped tennis sulting in crimson or blue
and cream color, which can be had for about
twelve cents yard For Turkish lounge
twice the length will probably be sufficient
allowing enough TO fall over each end. pi.
vide one breadth and sew to each side Of
the other, hem tie ends neatly, and you
have really pretty and fashionable lounge
cover.
II sofa has @ back, moro goods will bo
required. Make the cover in plain straight
breadths scanned together, and drape il
over the back with n few plaits at each END
near the top, and. If the sofa is long, one in
the middle, then. without drawing it too
tightly, fold IL in a crease where the sofa
back meets the seat, and tuck n little of tho
folded part in, or If the back il in a wooden
frame sew tapes to tho cover on the wrong
side and tie it on.
For winter covering sew together
breadths Of gray, brown or crimson woolen
goods Of ordinary quality, and work
feasher-stitching on all the sears with col
ored worsteds or crowels. The ends Of tho
cover may be raveled out to form fringe
about two inches deep, and the arrange
ment win look as decidedly Oriental as the
striped tennis suiting will look cool and
fresh for summer covering

Lightning Rods For Farmers.

Prof. Henry in the Western Farmer
says: II should say that a common
two-strand, galvanized barb wire, well
put up, is superior to many of the rods
as put up by agents at great cost. If
one intends to use barb it would
be better TO twist half dozen strands
into ono than use a single wire. Hav-
ng done this. bury the lower end OF
the wire in moist earth. digging if pos
sible down to water; or. all the better,
cunning the wire into we'll or cistern
below tho water. Without a good
ground connection the wire may be
more than useless. Having the wire
properly planted attach it firmly to
the building every two or three feet
by common staples, just as you wonld
to the posts when using the wire for
fencing. The common practice OF
using glass thimbles for insulators to
keep the rods away from the building
is altogether wrong; agents no doubt
use this plan to add to the expense
and mystify people. Carry the wire
to the highest points of the building,
and let it rise several feet vertically,
supported by staff raised to the roof.
The wire may be supposed to insure
safety for distance in every direction
equal to it's height above the building.
Thus, if it rise eight feet above the
peak of the house it guards a circle
sixteen feet in diameter"

House-Flies Carrying Contagion.

Since the recognition that in many
diseases the infective principle is par
ticulate, the possible means OF con-
veyance of the virus from one to am
other individual have widened. At
tention has lately been recalled to the
part which may conceivably be played
in this direction by the agency of the
house-hy. The granular ophthalmia
OF the shores Of the Nile-a true
plague of Egypt-has been shown to
be propagated through this medium,
and, also, that the bacillus tuberculo-
sis may exist in the intestines OF flies
which have been feeding on phthisical
sputa. Indeed, it would appear that
there is hardly any direction, either in
our mode of living. eating or environ
ment whereby we can avert the pos
sibility of the transference to our
selves OF this ubiquitous bacillus, ana
life would becomo ;ntoer&ble were =
not for the well-grounded belief that
phthjqis is not dependent for its devel-
opment upon this microbe solely, but
upon The concurrence OF many condl-
tions OF almost. if not quite, as much
importance as it's imp!1ntation in the
body. Apropos of flies. however. it
has been suited that the lamented
Father Damien attributed his leprosy

agency, OF Rn abrasion in the soap
