Delicately Colored Designs on Linen.
Picnic Tablecloths and Floor Cushions.
Summer fancies in needlework are shown
in some charming self colored designs. For
instance, tablecloth will have the pretty
border deiicately tinged' with terra Gotta
thrown up with few deeper shades; side
board slip will bear fine pattern wrought
in shades of water blue silks.
Finger bowl doilies are shown in dainty
colorings and artistic designs. 4 large
water lily embroidered in white and gold.
a papsy or a rose of size adapted for use,
beautifully EN- broidered and then cut out,
makes quite as pretty an ornament for the
table as the most fastidious could desire.
For picnic or out-of-door table covers
checked grass toweling in squares of diff
ferent colors may be finished with border
in cross stitch done in red marking cotton.
This is worked over canvas basted on the
toweling, while fringe OF the same may
be knotted on the edges. A monogram or
design of fruit or flowers will be appropri-
ate to fill in the corners. Ii the toweiing
is not as wide as desired by joining two
breadths, then feather stitching the seam
and stripping the cover with lines of feather
stitch, it may gain in width and ornamen-
tai qualities as we'll.
Very new and taking in toilet cushion
covers are the pretty white linen ones, the
four corners of which fold over the cushion
and may be pinned down in the center
with fancy pin. In each of the corners
is tiny spray of flowers worked in colored
silks or linen floss.

The Care nf an OIL Stnre-

The preventive for a bad smell in an oil
stove is 70 use good oil and to keep the
stove absolutely and perfectly clean. Every
day the fues over the burners must be
thoroughly cleansed. Several thicknesses
OF old soft cotton cloth tied around stick
answer for this purpose better than any
brush. The oil reservoir must on no ac-
count be filed to the brim, or the oil oozes
out and causes smell. Once week It is
well to wash every getatable part with hot
water and soda. This thoroughly takes of
any oily SCOT which may have accumulated
and which is The chief cause of smell.

~ years old, the locust trees

ban the catalpa which were only 20
BET high. The objections to the catal-
pa are low branching and crooked
growth. As 1t will not bear crowding
these defects are not counteracted.
The locust Is being very badly injured
by the borers for which no remedy Is
known. Mr.. Albaugh said that through
the influence Of Mr.. Barney car
builder OF Dayton. a number OF planta-
lions OF catalpa had been started in
western Ohio. Plantations years old
had trees largo enough for fence posts.
The best way to treat the catalpa was
to cut II back TO the ground at one or
two years OF age. The new growth
was straight and vigorous and from
eight TO ten feet high.

Had Been Given the "Rush."

During the recent visit of a delega-
ton of members of the legislature and
invited guests to Hot Springs there
occurred an episode that is Illustrative
of the haste of some men to perform an
action without asking why or where
fore. 1t is well-known fact that
when it rains in the Hot Springs valley
1t comes down by the bucketful. Win
dows and doors must be closed at
once. else carpets and floors will be
soaked through and through. 1t came
to pass that Hon. John j. O'Dowd and
Thomas j. Cogau we're given the same
apartment, occupying beds at either
side of the room.
Late one night heavy rain came
up. and the noise of the storm awak-
he'd Cogan, who discovered that the
windows were wide open. Sitting up
in bed he shrieked to O'Dowd. Start
ing from sound sleep that young
man asked:
"Huhl What's the matterpn
Get up and close the windows,
quick It's rainingi Hurry up!n
With bound O'Dowd sprang to the
floor and, after struggle, in which
his night-shirt was soaked and his feet
wet he did that which he was told.
Returning to his couch. the legislator
carefully tucked himself beneath the
coverlids. A silence of two minutes
passed. and then it was broken by
ODowd. who sat up, and, in an in-
jured tone. said:
Say. Cogan. what was the matter

windowsp"
He had been given the rush." and
Il took him long, long while to tum-
bic.

The California Horse.

In reading the accounts of early days
In California am struck with the en-
durance of hardship. exposure. and
wounds by the natives and the adven-
turers, the rancheros. horseman. herds
men, the descendants of soldiers, and
the Indians. their insensibility to
fatigue, and their agility and strength.
This is ascribed to the climate; and
what is true of man is true of the
native horse. His only rival in strength.
endurance, speed. and intelligence is
the Arabian. 1t was long supposed
that this was racial, and that but for
the smallness of the size OF the native
horse, crossing with 1t would improve
the breed OF the Eastern aud Kentucky
racers. But there was reluctance to
cross the finely proportioned Eastern
horse with his diminutive Western
brother. The importation and breed
ing Of thorough-breds on this coast has
led to the discovery that the desirable
qualities of the California horse were
not racial but climatic. The Eastern
horse has been found to improve In
SIZE compactness OF muscle, in strength
of limb, In wind. with a marked In
crease In power OF endurance. The
traveller here sotices the fine horses
and their excellent condition. and the
power and endurance Of those that
have considerable age. The records
made on Eastern race-courses by horses
from California breeding farms have
already led attention. 1t is also
remarked that the eastern horse is
usually improved greatly by a sojourn
of season or two on this coast, aud
the plan of bringing Eastern race
horses here for the winter Is already
adopted. = Charles Dudley Warner. ia
