A NEW STYLE OF EMnnoLpErY.

NEW STYLE OF EMBROIDERY.
A new style Of embroidery coming
into vogue in London is done with
colored braids of various widths.
These braids are Hat, and very narrow
aud dainty. Tho widest does not
measure more than an eighth Of an
inch, the narrowcst about "a sixteenth.
They are similar 10 certain braids used
In some kinds OF lacc-making. For
the tca-cloths, builet-covcrs, cushion
covers, and doylics decorated with tic
braid, linen is principally used, though
1t is said to have an equally good ef-
feet OH silk and other art cloths. Tho
simplest way of using the braid is in
geometric patterns, in simple scrolls,
aud in conventional forms, where the
braid Is run on the lines of the design
with invisible stitches with cotton
thread that matches or harmoni2es in
color. At the angles and corners the
braid is turned over and fastened
down by stitch. One color or n
pretty combination may be used, and
large open spaces are then dotted with
French knoIs or covered with other
embroidery stitches. Sometimes span
giles that are said to he washable arc
used. -CNcw York Post.

The Feeding of Ewes.

A writer IN the Rural Canadian con-
tends that it is not desirable that ewes
kept for breeding only should be highly
fed until after they have LANDED. An
abundance of pea straw with some tur-
nips or mangolds and free run in a
large yard by themselves, with access TO
water and a little grain, say oats and
barley or peas mixed, every evening, is
desirable.
Never let the breeding ewes run with
cattle or swine; they are easily injured
by them. When the lambs come, feed
more literally of grain crushed. with
some bran added, and more roots with
clover hay, if possible; if not give
meadow hay. A little oil cake or cotton
seed meal will not be amiSS in adding to
the richness of their milk. Do not turn
them out on the early spring grass too
soon, it is very laxative; even when put
on grass it is we'll to continue feeding
some grain every day till the lambs be-
come strong and the grass has more sub
stance in it. The advantage of such
feeding is not only that the ewes are
strong and healthy and rear strong and
healthy lambs, but the wool of their
tieeces is greatly improved in strength,
weight and quality.

Dead.

Yesterday afternoon the members of
the park board committee on improve
ments met and puzzled their brains for
several hours over the difficult question
of apportioning the Improvement fund
among the various parks and boule-
Yards. The trouble is the board has
not enough money to satisfy all the
demands. The Powderhorn park
people want the bottom of
the lake cleaned out. That
would cost anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000 The East siders want a
fountain in Washburn park. They
allege that nearly all the money is being
spent on the West side of the river, and
they want to come in for a little of it.
But the boardrhas only about S41 900 to
spend. The East siders put in a demand
for at least $4,000 for the Washburn
park, and when the committee got Hlat
far ONLY about $1,000 remained. The
other demands were similar. The COM
mittee arrived at the following conclu-
sionS:
Fairview park, $1,000 for making
lake.
Lorlng park, $4,000 for closets; $1,000
for making changes at Hennepin and
Willow place.
Lake Harriet. 1900 for closets; $1,000
for culyerts.
Lake Calhoun. 5000 for general i'm
proyements.
Lake of the Isles. $4,000 for dredge
work.
Minnehaha Park, $1,000 for pavilion
and driveway.
Moulton tract, $1,000 for general i'm
provements.
Powderhorn park, $4,000 for dredg-
Ing.
Riverside park, $500 for general i'm
prOvementS.
Washburn park. $1,000 for general
improvements.
This apportionment leaves out en-
tirely the following parks, parkWayS
and tree culture strips:
Barnes place and Lowell square, ELI
oft park, Franklin Steele square, Glen
wood park, Hennepin avenue, Kenwood
parkway, Lyndale park, Lyndale ave-

way, Oak Lake parks, Second ward
parks, Wilson park, Second ward trees,
Kenwood trees, Pillsbury avenue trees,
Portland avenue trees, First avenue
trees, Chestnut avenue trees, Lake Har-
riet boats.
AS here given, the apportiopment is
not satisfactory, even to the members
of the committee. The committee will
decline to report at the meeting of the
board next Monday, and will ask to be
given further time to straighten out the
tangle,

Fruit Pickings.

There is generally good business
done by shippers in forwarding seed po-
tatoes from Northern localities for the
Bermudas and other places in the
South where potatoes for our earliest
markets are grown. These Northern
grown potatoes make much better seed
than those grown farther south, because
in part, of the difficulty in keeping the
latter from sprouting and wasting their
| vitality.
The writer OF paper read before a
Western society advocated milk pro-
ductiOn and fruit growing as two indus
tries we'll adapted to each other, where
a market is within easy reach. He
found fruit an inducement for buying
cream, and cream suggested the buyi nc
of fruit. The one sold the other, when
he could not sell either alone. This was
especially true of strawberries and
peaches.
inexperienced fruitgrowers naturally
select trees with largest tops for plant
ing. But the top is of less Importance
than the root. In nine cases out Of ten,
well-rooted, vigorous young trees will
make more thrifty growth and continue
in bearing longer than the old trees,
which only bear earlier because they

small trees cost less money to buy and
less for transportation.
A writer for the National Stockman
says: Last spring having some spoiled
hay from stack that was wet | used il
mnlching a small lot of raspberry vines
[ had enough hay to 20 over the lot all
but two rows. Hay was put on thick
enough to keep grass and weeds down.
When picking berries found the rows
that were not mulched did not produce
as many berries and they were of in-
ferior quality. Waste hay or straw can
be used to advantage in this way.
About one-half the apple crop which
appears in blossom and forms fruit is
lost or wasted. The small fruits that
drop from the trees are practically use
less, and so far no use has been discov-
cred for them, except as fertilizers for
the soil OH which they decay. But later
in the year as they approach maturity
these fallen apples can be utilized, and
from that time on nothing of the fruit
need be lost. These apples should be
used as food for stock or for, cider, and
the pumice for food.

sTURTEvANT's COMMENTS.
What the Chambers Secretary
Saws of the Wheat Business.

Says OF the Wheat Business.
The annual report of Secretary Sturt-
evant, of the chamber of commerce, is
almost ready for distribution. 1t is now
in the hands of the printers. Most of
the figures embodied in the secretary's
report have been published before, but
he makes some observations on the
trade of Minneapolis and on the wheat
market that are interesting. He says:
wheat is king in the Northwest, and
Minneapolis grain dealers and millerS
still hold the scepter. The receipts Of
wheat in car lots for the year were "a, 231
cars, 57,S11, 615 bushels. These receipts
do not represent the entire business,
but simply the track sales. Over one
half Of the 10000, 900 bushels reported as
received at and shipped from Duluth
and West Superior curing the year was
purchased in the country by Minneapo-
lis firms, and sold in market for export
OF to Eastern Inillers or dealers, and
shipped to its destination through lake
ports in transit and not for sale"
After commenting on the inferior
quality of the wheat crop of last fall, he
says this of the condition of the wheat
market in Minneapolis:
"There have been fewer fluctuations
in prices than in some former years.
The opening and closing prices for the
year were the Same-9615 cents for No.
northern in store. The lowest price
reached was 81 cents in December. and
the highest SLIP, in April, the fluctua-
tons for the year being % cents.
1.-The figures show all increase in the
receipts of grain of over 25 per cent
over the previous or any preceding year,
and the shipments of about 60 per cent.
The local consumption has largely in
creased, but not in the same ratio as the
shipments, showing that Minneapolis is
not only large consumer of grain for
milling and other purposes, but great
market from which other localities draw
their supplies. This IS especially the
case with wheat. of which over 100000
900 bushels were shipped in 1891, mostly
to mlllerS in other states.

THE OTHER SIDE.
j. e. Thwing Speaks for the Hill
side Cemetery.


side Cemetery.
The members of the Hillside Cemetery
association want their side of the story
of the litigation between them and
Hunt made public. j. E. Thwing made
the following statement yesterday on
behalf of the cemetery association:
''There appeared in the morning
papers in this vicinity today report OF
suit brought by one Hunt against the
Hillside Cemetery Association OF MIN
neapols. In these notices it was al
legged that the cemetery had used prop
erty which it did not own for inter ment
purposes, and that the real owners were
seeking a recovery thereof.
s'The statement that the property IN
question had been used for cemetery OF
interment purposes is u1qualltledly ana
absolutely false. The land referred to
comprised only little over an acre, and
was contracted for with view to ultl-
mate use for such purpose, but has new
er been land is not now included in the
laid out and plated portion OF the Gem
etery, as will appear from an Inspection
OF the public records.
"Such statements as those referred 10
are liable to have injurious effects ana
therefore in behalf of the Hillside Gem
etery association, | wish to rectlfy the
impressions that the report OF the suit
may have created"
