BEDSPREADS AND PORTlERES.
An Excellent Material for Mats and Dra-
perles.

An Excellent Material for Mats and Ora
perles.
A pretty material for bedspreads and
oortieres is bargarran art cloth. 1t
comes in white, cream, and colors, and
in four different styles of mesh. in
colors it is fifty-two inches, and in
cream and white it is seventy-two
inches. 1t is heavy and durable.
Where it is required for draperies no
cloth can be better than this, as it adj
iusts itself in soft, graceful lines, and
it would be almost impossible for the
most awkward hand to give the folds a
stiff" appearance. For table mats it
is "a treasure" Make the mats about
two and one half inches larger than the
body of the mat is desired, and ravel
out this extra width, when the working
of the mat is finished, for fringe. A
pretty way to add color to the fringe is
to darn from the edge of the cloth
before the mat is raveled; darn
in about three inches at the
widest place and two and one
half inches at the narrowest regulate
the width of darning so that the inside
line shall be n series of points or
squares; this is easily done as the
meshes regulate the stitches in the
same way canvas does. When the edge
is raveled the colored threads will be
pretty with the white. If more color is
desired any pattern may be darned, or
cross-stitched the same as it can be on
canvas.
This cloth is well suited for bed
spreads. The pattern chosen should be
a large open one. A handsome spread
was worked on white with green and
gold floss; it was made long enough to
come under the pillows, which should
be placed rather low. The sides of the
spread were finished with fringe. One
can afford to put considerable work on
a spread of this kind, as no shams are
required, and there is almost mo end
to the wear of the goods
A pretty spread is of unbleached
sheeting. A center pattern and border
of flowers in large, open designs was
stamped and then worked in white tidy
cotton; the work is heavy, and the
large, heavy flowers in pure white,
massed against the creamy background,
produce q charming effect. The House

grown under ones own eye and care,

beautiful and fragrant the flowers
raised around the house than those seen
elsewhere, even over the fencel What
charming amusement and pastme for
the wife during the husbands absence
are the varied labors Of the garden in
the frequent monotony of village life!
What satisfaction to the husband is
the hour spent before or after business
in pottering in the garden! Oh, the
village garden, the neat, trim village
garden! And the town garden, and the
garden of the suburban or country
place; who does not know or can not
realize their added charms in contrast
to the hard, grim grind of city life!'-

THE HOME GARDEN.
What Should be an Adjunct to Every Farm
er's Household.

er's Household.
Can there be home without gar
den? A home with all the pleasant,
cheerful, comfortable endearing asso-
Citations connected, not merely with the
word, but with the idea; home that is
a delight in childhood, q satisfaction in
manhood, refuge and solace in de-
clining years. a home that is constantly
brought to mind, through association,
by the sight elsewhere of familiar
flower, tree, shrub or useful vegetable;
home that clings to the memory,
after years of separation, in distant
places and amid different scenes and in
terests; a home that is the shrine of all
that is dearest, the abode of all happi-
ness, the treasure house for whose dear
sake all our thoughts are busy, all our la
bors undertaken? Isn't the garden the
appropriate setting of such a jewel?
Without the garden, wouldn't it be as
uninteresting and forgetable as one of a
row of city dwellings distinguishable
from each other by the numbers only?
surroundings that gives comfort and
happiness to the home. OF ALL it is the
spot longest and most fondly remem-
bered. How many of the worlds great
warriors, statesmen, sages, poets, in
veptors, merchants and philanthropists
have found their highest happiness and
contentment in the multifarious occu-
pations, quiet labors and absorbing
studies of the garden
The garden everywhere is promoter
of economy and health. In it nature
pours forth her choicest and most whole
some gifts for the mere cost of seed and
care. A home garden well attended is
the most powerful foe of the sheriff and
the doctor. In the farmers garden the
family have the vegetable, fruit and
flower markets at their very door. The
supplies offered are precisely those they
want, exactly of the quality they desire
and in the freshest and most whole
some condition, all at the mere cost OF
production.
What source of endless interest and

The Tail of n Rat.

A rats tail is wonderful thing. The
great naturalist, Cuvier, says that there
are more muscles in this curious APP
pendage than are to be found in that
part of the human anatomy which is
most admired for it's ingenious struct-
ure--namely, the hand. To the rat, in
fact, its tail serves as sort of hand,
by means of which the animal is enabled
to crawl along narrow lodges or other
difficult passages, using it to balance
with or gain hold. 1t is prehensile,
like the tails of some monkeys. BY
means of it the little beast can jump up
heights otherwise inaccessible, EN-
ploying it as projectile spring.-Chi'
