FANclEs IN FEATHERS.


How to Make Use of the Plumage of Do
nestle Fowls-Prctty Results May De
Obtained by tho Use OF n Little Ingen-
uity, Taste and Pnticnce--A Plain and
Ornamental Fan.
Very dainty uses may be made Of
the feathers from domestic fowls, and
two OF them are suggested here. In
the little fan shown in Fig. /, pure
white tail or wing feathers are em-
ployed, and in the one represented in
Fig. ?, the pretty, brown-spechcd
feathers from the tail Of some departed
Brown Leghorn 'biddy" are used,
though the beautiful feathers of the
grouse and partridge are to be pre-
ferred If they can be found. The man
ufacture Of the first fan Is quite sim
pie. Some sixteen or eighteen perfect
feathers are procured and rounded at
the tip and trimmed about q little.
The quilts are cut Off up to the web Of
the feather, and then the base of the
quill still remaining is pared off fat

A NOXlOUS WEED.
Another Weed Pest That Is Gaining Firm
FOOthOld.

Another Weed Pest That Is Gaining Firm
FoOthold.
A weed has found its way into sew
eral places in southern Kentucky that
! fear will soon become so abundant
that it will not be easily held in check.
This is near relative of the common
cockle-bur, or ''cuclSle-bur" as it is To-
cally called-the Xanthium spinuosum,
H., spiny cockle-bur. This plant makes
its best growth during August and
September, when other weeds are less
aggressive, and is low, branching
weed, about foot high and spread
ing to diameter of from one
to three feet. 1t is armed at
the base of each leaf with clus-
ter of three sharp straw-colored spines
one inch long. These thorns, together
with the bur, make it formidable
weed to encounter The leaf is Deep
glossy green, veined with white; the
contrast with the bright golden spines
make it rather pretty foliage plant,
but for its habit of spreading and be-
coming nuisance.
l noticed in 1890 while in Franklin
that this was common street weed,
bordering the streets for the width of
from three to six feet on either side,
forming an impenetrable mass, and ex-
tending for blocks, and also along
the several roads into the coun-
try. was told by prominent citizen
there that the authorities were hiring
men at dollar a day to dig it up, as
it had become such pest. There it is
enormously called the Canada thistle.
The true Canada thistle has not made
its appearance here, though have a
specimen gathered at Lexington.
A word of warning should be uttered
against this spiny or thorny cookie
bur, as it is a disagreeable weed to
handle in gardens, and also for the
border of streets and roadsides. Its
weapons of defense are such that it
forms an impenetrable barrier to man
or to stock, and unless weeded out ere
the 'burs ripen is easily carried from
place to place, thus spreading over a
wider area the coming season.
Four years ago there was not sin
gle plant in Bowling Green. A year
later one plant was observed near a
sales stable, near Eleventh street Last
year it was noticed on some three OF
four streets, and dense clumps of it
along the roadside of one of the turn
pixies a mile from town. This year
there is still more of it and it has
reached Reservoir hill. In fact it has
come to stay unless vigorous efforts
are made by all, whether they own the
property near or not, to exterminate
it.-Cor. Farmers Home Journal.

are to be glued. The feathers are
dyed faint rose color or any delicate
tint one chooses. The tiny fan sticks
must be very thin and smooth and not
more than three-sixtecnths of an inch
wide. They are gilded and glued neat
ly to the rosy feathers, running up a
little on the wrong side and having
rounded or pointed ends. Really the
fan has no right or wrong side in
this way. A little pink bow of rib
bon is tied to one of tho outer sticks.
A spray of flowers runs across the
feathers, painted in oil colors in white
and pink with touch of green. The
feathers are Joined by sillcn thread
running through the quilts near the
base and hidden by the overlapping
webs. A very dainty child's fan has
feathers of graduated length, from six
inches in the middle to three at either
end. The little fan in the second illus

AN ARTISTIC COvERLET.
Presented to the Baby Son of tho Duke
and Duchess of York.

Presented to the Baby Son of tho Duke
and Duchess of York.
The birth of the new English royal
prince seems to have revived the stories
of q previous marriage of his father to
such an extent that the prince of Wales
has deemed it necessary to publish,
through his secretary, Sir Francis
Knollys, an official denial of the rumor.
The London Times has also revived
the story Of the marriage of George ".
and Mrs. Fitzherbert and the probabil-
ity of there having been children Of
that marriage whose descendants
ought now TO be on the English throne.
This is all nonsense. Both these mar
riages may or may not have been con-
tracted, but both would have been IL
legal and consequently void from the
beginning.
In 1772, when the prince of Wales,
afterward George ~, was only ten
years old, The royal marriage act was
passed by parliament at the instance Of
George Ill, who was greatly disguised

ried subjects against his wishes.
This act made it unlawful for any
member of the royal family to marry
without the consent of the sovereign
If under twenty-five, or to do so after
that age unless twelve months notice
had been given to the privy council
and parliament had not within those
twelve months expressed its disappro-
baton.
All this was suggested by the picture
which we give of the cot covcrlet,
which was among the christening gifts
of the new royal infant. The founda-
ton is of white satin, on which the
royal crown is embroidered in deli

What a prcssmaker SAYS.

A dress as well us coat should be
fastened from the bottom up, and not
from the top down. The constant tug
ging from the shoulder soon gives any
waist dragged-down look that may be
avoided if it be constantly pushed up
ward, as it is when the lower fasten-
ings are hooked or buttoned first. OF
course, this cannot be done if dress is
too small, another name for what some
people call good fit" But if waist
be properly fitted, no matter how close
", It can be as well fastened from the
bottom up as vice versa

Canned Fodder.

Ensilage is nothing in the world but
canned fodder. You take fruit and can
it and use it upon your tables, and if it
is properly canned it is nearly as pala-
table as fresh fruits, as near as it can
be- Now, we take fodder and by
means of silo we can it, A good silo
is an air-tight building, or as near as
it is possible to make it, and in
it is placed the food in a compare
lively green state; the enormous
weight of the green food causes it to
settle. The weight of ensilage in a
silo when settled is from forty to fifty
pounds per cubic foot, and the result
is that it settles so compactly as to
drive the air out, and the cnsilage
keeps so long as the, air is not allowed
to come in contact with it.-Farmers'

rnhle Manners in Persia.

The Persian lady knows not the use
of the knife and fork, or, if she does,
scorns to make use Of them. All her
food is spread upon the floor and eaten
with the fingers, a practice which, in
spite of numerous additions, still
leaves the hands of the fair one trinc
greasy. She eats frequently, more for
distraction than from hunger, and de-
yours fruit, sweetmeats and pastry be-
tween meals, washing them down with
copious draughts of sherbet. Altogeth-
er the fair Persian would seem tolead a
particularly easy and aimless exist
ence.

Painting proceeds from different
causes, the most common being a dis
turbance of the circulation of the blood
in the brain. For an ordinary fainting
fit lay the patient fat Great harm
has often resulted from the treatment
by ignorant people in trying to make
the patient sit up, or propping up the
head on pillows. To send the blood
back from the heart to the brain, tho
fiat posture is absolutely necessary.
Let the patient lie so that the feet arc
