June 0.-During the past week
we have been having n great deal of hard
rain, washing +9s>@nd badly in places and
causing creeks to overflow the bottoms.
Very little plowing could be done, and
grass has gained n "round" or two, in con-
sequence. The rains were great help to
oats, and they are doing better than was
expected. Many of the fall sowed oats were
killed out, but the few that survived are
fine.
The prospect for wheat is very promising.
Reports come in of some fine fields of it,
The finest | have seen is that Of Mr.. X. G.

Persian Needlework.

The difference between Persian and
the needlework we are accustomed to
see seems to lie in the thoroughness-
sincerity an artist would call it-of the
former. Every stitch is taken with
mathematical precision, and there is +

of the work is as admirable in its way
as the right side. In some specimens
stitches cover the design on both sides.

china Grape shawls. On other pieces
the needle is put back toward the wrOr2
side close by the place it was drawn
through, thus throwing all the work NJ
on the right side and leaving what looks
like beautifully regular outline work on
the reverse. This is the method used in
working sofa pillows, table covers OF
anything which only exposes one side
But for curtains, handkerchiefs, shawls,
etc, the double faced embroidery is in
variably used.
A favorite method of this Persian
worker is the introduction of texts OF
sentences upon the border or center Of
her pieces. The lettering is so quaint
angular and disconnected that at the
first look it seems like a geometrio pat
tern. On one white linen table cover,
heavily worked in flowers and foliage
with gray silk, was border of lettering
wrought in gold thread. The characters
were about inches tall, and the senti.
ment they conveyed, 'God is great: God
is good" took up very short space, but
the text was repeated again and again.
