Novelties in Fancy Work Which Make

Novelties in Fancy Work Which Make
Home Comfortable and Luxurious,
Women who are able to embroider well
have fair chance of making their rooms
attractive at small cost. Handsomely en-
broidered cushions, for instance, make the
plainest of settees, look comfortable and
luxurious, and the daintily worked five
o'clock tea cloth shows off even second rate
cups and saucers at their best.
The prettiest novelty imaginable in en-
broidery consists of design carried out on
fine white sateen in white linen thread.
The effect is perfect A variety of point
lace stitches imparts light, lace like ap-
pearance and gives force 10 the pattern
which is outlined with white silk cord. Ii
would be hard to find anything more at
tractive than this for ornamenting the
corners Of tea cloths. OF course self colored
silks can be equally well used; the design
is always self colored and this is one of its
charms
A satin de luxe foundation is especially
effective, and a water green satin de luxe
worked with silks of corresponding color,
but varied shades, is a very delicate and
artistic arrangement.
ises to be popular for duchesse table sets
and for sachets. The articles all have
pinked out edges and are embroidered
with colored silks in graceful floral de-
signs.
A pretty variety of lace work is carried
out by the use of colored and plain mus
lin. the one appliqued to the other. Col
ored book muslin, say bright gold color,
constitutes the foundation over which
plain white muslin which has had hand
some design previously traced on it is
laid, the outlines of the pattern being
afterward worked over in chain or button
hole stitch and the outside parts cut away
with a pair Of sharp scissors. This work
is suitable for dessert doilies, as It admits
of so much variety of color, pattern, etc.,
while there are many fancy laces which
answer well as a finish TO the edges

CONTROLLING BEES.
By NJ. L. ROHDES,l

Bees are as easily controlled US horses
OF cattle by means of the bee smoker The
bee smoker consists of u tin tube with a
bellows attached.
The tube is filled with some dry ma
terial. Cotton rags are good; some use
rotten wood. 1t is important that the
smoker be we'll filed and lighted; bees
sometimes get angry very suddenly, then
you need your smoker. If it has been
carelessly lighted and allowed to go out,
the beekeeper may find himself in hot
place. To open hive blow little smoke
into it: do not suffocate them; just enough
to let them know you are on hand.
Then after few moments take off the
cover; if they are much excited blow
smoke under the cover as soon as you
raise it enough to admit the smoke.
When you have taken the cover off lay it
with the adhering bees in front of the
hive; now blow smoke upon the bees un-
til they are quiet, and by pushing the
frames a little closer together you will be
able to lift one OUT it is well to have an
empty hive at hand, into which you can
hang one or two frames 50 as to have
space for handling. The beginner will
be at loss as to what is to be done even
after ne has successfully opened the hive

ei.oo PER AhkUIM.

and handled the bees Well, you must
seek an acquaintance with the little pets;
you will gradually learn to tell almost as
soon as you lift the cover what the con-
dition Of the colony is.
It's necessary to know whether the
bees have queen or not; the expert can
tell without seeing the queen. If queen
less, the bees are nervous, wings buzzing
continuously. No eggs in the cells is
evidence that the colony has no queen.
In April the hives should be examined,
and if it has dead bees Or filth on the bot
tom board it should be cleaned out. See
that the bees have honey; now is brood
rearing time and much honey is needed.
The weather will often keep the bees in
for days, and unless they have honey the
brood will perish. Always work with
the bees on fair, warm days, when they
are at work; use the vail on the face, for
you may get a bite when you least ex-
.pect it, and it hurts

CANTON, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY AUGUST IS, 1890

an association composed Of about fifteen
families each and by arrangement the
different members of an organization by
turn butcher beef on Monday of each
week; for example, farmer A, on the
first Monday after organization, farmer
B, on the second Monday, farmer G, on
the third Monday, and so on to the end of
the list. After the beef has been proper
ly dressed, the meat is carefully weighed
out and delivered in equal proportions
among the different members Of the as
sociation. Each family gets an equal
proportion of all the various parts of an
animal and all are thus treated fairly.
In this way, no family Of an organiza-
tion of say, fifteen members is required
to butcher more than two or three beeves
during any one season and yet be always
provided with fresh supply of meat
during the entire season. The plan has
been in operation in this locality for the
past three seasons and works admirably.
Its chief novelty lies in the fact that it
furnishes the members of an association
with meat at actual cost. A. ]. w.
