Most women are fond of fancy work, but
not every farmers busy wife can find time
to make dainty home decorat ions; and, if
they would not have their homes quite
bare of those little touches of beauty so
dear to the feminine heart, it becomes
II. 'esSary for farmers wives more than
others to devise ways of producing effect
at small cost of time and labor
Usually it is well to make articles at once
useful and ornamental and of materials
that will retain their beauty during their
period Of usefulness, leaving the frail,
perishable iinery to such as have unlimited
time and means Mt their disposal Many
persons have made beautiful 'bedspreads of
bloached muslin squares outlined with EN-
bruldery cotton, and very pretty they are,
but they required more time than / could
well devote to thar purpose. Besides,
bIcachcd muslin would not be sufficiently
durable on Il bed in such constant and
often rough use as the one for which
wanted a cover, it being "mother's bed >"
and the refuge Of the wee ones when tired
or cross.
| therefore made n good sized sheet Of
good quality, unhlcachcd muslin, faced it
on the right side with broad band Of
turkey rod calico, feather stitched down
with medium coarse white crochet cotton.
| then stamped II large. bold design in the
center, and trailing one in each corner,
and with so 10 red floss proceeded to out
line the pattern in plain, running stitch.
When done it was much prettier than |
thought it would be. 1t had n sort Of bro
cadcd effect, as though the pattern were
woven in. The work required less than
on"-third the time and only about two
thirds as much floss, and will wear much
better than if done in the outline stitch.

TheNewxpapcr the party's Hope.

The family in America is inquir-
ing into political questions for its
own interests and when all people
are in an inquiring and receptive
mood the most effective agency for
the good of the Republican party
is the party newspaper. 1t excels
all camgaign documents; it goes
regularly to the home. The local
party newspaper is the campaign
ing strength of the party. Every
County Committee should bend its
energy to extending the circulation
of every county party paper. Every
Republican Club should obtain
lists of all doubtful voters, and
should see that such voters are
supplied with party newspapers.
The local paper should be utilized
first; the State paper should stand
next, and the National paper come
third. People believe most in the
newspaper nearest to them, and is
identified with their interests. The
National Committee can not urge
TOO strongly upon the party mana
gers everywhere that the lines of
life for the Republican party in
this contest lies in the strengthen
ing of the party press, in the extern
sion of its circulation, and in
giving it access to every
family and to every voter who will
listen to reason and to argument.
One live, strong, well-edited, good
humored, wholesome Republican
paper will do more good toward
making Republican votes in fam
lily than hundred campaign docu-
ments. The circulation of the
Democratic newspapers in this
country now exceed the circulation
of the Republican newspapers
30O,000,000 copies year. 1t should
be the first work of all township,
county, district, State, and nation
al committees to change this sit
uation, and to give the party of in
telligence and progress not only an
equal newspaper circulation, but
one larger, more powerful, and
more commanding.
