A CreeDcr for Baby,

One of the latest and best of utility
"crecpers" is very easily made. Cling
ham is the fabric used. First measure
baby's length and breadth, in order to
allow the little one chance for
freedom Of motion. The gingham is
then cut bag shape, IL by IA being the
popular number of inches. This, when
sewed up at the sides and bottom, is
gathered into band with button
holes and buttons. In each lower cor
ner openings have been made. These
are hemmed and are then ready for
the chubby legs. Drawing them up
over the child's limbs you will find the
dainty clothes snugly incased and yet
the limbs OF the toddler at liberty to
move at will.

A DRESSING TABLE SCARF.

shade. Touched up as 1t is with gold,
the effect is most charming, and, what
is Of great value to busy folk it is ac-
quired with but little time and no diff
cult labor.
The second design is suggestion for
dressing-table scarf, and is purely
conventional.
The scrim is Of the same plain sort,
but the finish in this instance is OF
heavy linen lace. The color might be
anything you choose, but the model
combines olive and yellow. The leaf
like forms are in olive, the others arc
in rich yellow, SO that there is
pleasing color effect obtained in the
whole. The couch is In gold, as, in
deed, 1t must always be in this peculiar
sort Of work. The scarf is really
most successful one, and If you are
planning pretty things for your home,
you can hardly do better than make
one or more.
As yet the completed scarfs and COW
ers are only shown in one or two ex-
elusive shops, but they are too good
to fail in becoming generally popular
before long.-N. Y. Recorder.

The scarf is made OF the finest and
sheerest Of French lawns, and is In
tone as dainty in its purity as new.

color brush, few rays of golden sum
light stolen from case Of lustcr paints
and the beautiful wings are ready for
the finishing touches.
These consist of lining, chosen from
some one Of the rare shades in satin or
sateen. After the lining is in place all
that is needed is the double draw
string through the center.
The shirrings are drawn close to-
gethcr in order to produce an effect OF
outspread wings. Sometimes thin
wadding is employed. This adds to the
flufiness Of the scarf and also gives an
opportunity to use fragrant powder.
Two loops are placed at cach corner
of the scarf. These are essential, es-
pecially when the decorative bit is to
be placed on chair back. Catching a
loop over each chair knob anchors the
scarf securely-an important item to bo
considered if you would have your scarf
appreciated.
The daintiest conceits used for the
purpose Of decoration fail to please as
soon as they become troublesome. This
Is most certainly true Of the chair
scarf. No matter how artistic, how
beautiful the creation, let 1t be de-
prived of it's practical side and 1t 10
voted nuisance.-Golden Days.

Sound and Light Compared.

The velocity Of sound through the
atmosphere with the temperature at 62
degrees Fahrenheit is at the rate of
i,125 feet per second. Through water
It is ~ times, through iron 1t Is ten
times. and through wood Of the differ
ent kinds 1t travels with velocity
from II to II times greater than that
with which it travels through air. The
velocity Of light is las,5oo miles per sec
ond. Estimating the distance to be even
o5,0O0,0O0 miles, light would pass from
the sun to the earth in a fraction over
eight minutes, and in one-eighth OF
minute would flash around our globe.
If an explosion should occur on the sun
to-day that was SO gigantic In its ma
ture as to ultimately penetrate to our
earth we would not know 1t until the
year 1908, simply because 1t would take
the sound fourteen years to travel the
intervening distance.

Friendship in tho Family.

One of the most important requisites
Of home life, and one frequently over
looked, is the intimacy that should ex-
list between the parent and the child.
This is, indeed, the foundation on which
all good influences may be most secure
ly laid. The control which IL obtained
through fear, or force, or bare author
ity, has nothing abiding in it. AS soon
as the fear is outgrown, or the force re-
moved, its power will pass away. Rut
the influence which is at work where
real sympathy and friendship exist be-
tween parents and children will abide
long after the relation itself is severed.
and will enter as q powerful factor into
the whole life.

describe it in detail, but can only say
that the three pieces were fastened to-
gether in such way as to admit OF all
the movements Of rotation and circum-
duction OF natural joint. 1t Is me-
chanical chef d'oeuvre. II was not
enough, however, to make 1t; 1t had

fastcn the lower part to the humerus

glcnoid surface by driving q platinum
wire into the neck Of the shoulder blade
to a depth Of three centimeters, and by
passing two other loops OF wire over
the top of the bone, the wires being
naturally tightly fastened to the arti-
ficial head without hampering its
movements in any way. In order to
facilitate the grating Of the periosteum
and muscles onto the artificial humerus
M. Michaels had adapted to 1t little
ridges perforated With holes for catgut

two platinum rings to keep 1t in Its

LANGUAGE OF ANIMALS.

Fhey Know How to Warn One Another OF
Danger.
While hunting with rife for squir-
rels in the heavy timber ! have at diff
ferent times, says writer in Forest
and Stream, noticed that both birds and
mammals seem to have several ways OF
warning others, not only OF their own
kind but also Of different species, OF
the presence Of supposed common
enemy. In fact, the practice might be
called the warning system OF animated
nature.
As an illustration, suppose the hum
ter to be going stealthily through the
woods or quietly seated upon stump
or fallen tree, and while there to be
seen, as he Is almost sure to be, by
some Of the sharp-eyed little wood
folks. Now suppose the little thing
has before been giving out some notes
or sounds peculiar to its species All
at once those sounds will be changed
to others having different cadence
from those at first given, or as the
hunter has discovered the sounds may
ouicklv cease, or even II the little
thing was quiet before some sharrnote
Of danger will often take the place OF
It's stiffness, and other mammals ana
birds in the Immediate vicinity will
understand the warning and take up
the signals, until nearly every anime.ee
thing for quite q distance around Will
he anpr;sed Of the danger. Then Tor
awhile they will act with the utmost
discretion until confidence is restored
when the wood life will resume its
normal ways until some movemen' OF
the hunter again produces the same
nbenomenon. How far beyond the

Tho Meaning Of sympathy.

II was q clever Frenchwoman who
said: "Those who have suffered much
are like those who know many Ian
guages. They have learned to under
stand and to be understood by many"
1t is an impossibility to fully sympa-
thize with another's experience unless
1t has been at some time ones own. In
a trouble or grief we turn instinctively
to some one whom we know has been
through the same experience. 1t is the
old human longing for companionship
that showsitself. The feeling is strong
within us that ''she will feel and know
with me-" Not for me, mind you, but
with me. Therein lies the meaning Of

cut the shape as shown in Fig. 3, and

Tho foundation for all the work is
