Was Afraid of tho Water.

An interesting incident of wild beast
life was recently witnessed by a
tourist in Asotin county, Wash. A deer
came bounding down the steep side
of bare, rocky hill on the edge Of
Snake river, closely followed by a
large mountain lion. The deer
plunged headlong into the river and
swan toward the further shore. The
big cat stopped short at the waters
edge, put its paw gingerly into the
water, drew it back and watched the
deer gain the opposite bank in safety
and disappear in the woods. Then,
with disappointed snarl, the lion
skunk away.

Celtic Blood and Girl Babies.

A curious and interesting fact given
by the registrar-general in his statis-
tics for 1898 is that in the Celtic por-
tions of the United kingdom the pro-
portion of the female births is much
hihger than it is in the non-Celtic por-
tions. The highest proportions are
found in Cumberland, Cornwall and
north Wales, while south Wales is only
little way down in the list, and has a
proportion considerably above the aver
age for the whole country. The pro-
portion of female births is higher in
Ireland and Scotland than in Eng land

PRETTY BED SPREADS.
Charming Patterns Which Arc Delight

Charming Patterns Which Arc Delight
Ing Good Honsekeepers.
A pretty spread may be made with a
series of squares of linen worked in
pattern resembling tiles. White linen
is often used for these spreads, but
quite as pretty are some of the tinted
fabrics so popular now-pale blue,
green or fraise, for example-such as
may be worked with white flax thread
and trimmed with torchon lace and in
sertion. The size of the larger squares
depend in great measure upon that OF
the spread, and they may be made all
exactly in the same or in different man
ner, according to fancy.
These squares are connected with
bands of insertion, and these are fin
ished with tiny squares of linen en-
broidered to match the rest. A deep
frill of lace should be carried round the
edges. Some workers make coverlets
such as this of series of linen doy-
leys, such as may be bought ready
traced at the shops. Instead, too, of
connecting them with bands of inser-
ton, a pretty effect may be obtained
by using them alternately with squares
of drawn threadwork, guipure dart,
or fine crochet. The frill round the
edges, of course, must correspond.
Another pretty bed spread may be
made of square of tinted linen Dor
dered all round with broad hem
(about five inches wide) of a second
color Partly on the center and partly
on the hem should be traced flowing
pattern to be worked in white flax
thread, and in the center should be
traced a colossal initial or monogram.
Other spreads may be made of ere
tonne, the design being accentuated
and partly filed in with stitches of col
ored silk and perhaps an outlining o.
tinsel. Large tassels Of parti-coloret
threads should be sewn on at intervals
along the sides.-Chicago Mail.

have different ways Of wasting plant
fertility-ways that, though differing,
all lead to disastrous results. With the
great majority Of farmers who waste
valuable plant food it is the old story
of allowing stable manure to deteri-
crate before its application to the soil.
In many cases it is thrown out Of
doors, to be leeched of it's most valu-
able qualities by every rain and shower,
or to be more or less completely de-
stroyed by heating, The majority of
farm barns do not have, and in many
cases cannot have, cellars under them,
in which manure can be kept without
losing any of its value. A plan that
may be serviceable to such as are thus
situated is presented in the illustration
and the diagram accompanying this.

HOUSEHOLD DRuposRY.
why Women should Break Away frcm
Time-Honored systems.

Time-Honorcd systems.
1t is well-established fact that
American housewives are the slaves of
conventionality and method II ever
women were. What we need is
declaration of independence from this
present cast-iron system that makes us
all do the same thing on exactly the
same day and at the same hour, not be-
cause we want to, oh no, but be-
cause everybody does so we must.
Our mothers washed on Monday,
ironed on Tuesday, baked and mended
on Wednesday, gave the girl her after
noon on Thursday, swept the house on
Friday and baked on Saturday; bless
your heart, 1t was always done this
way, and who dares jump the fence?
And to forego the big, hot Sunday din
ner would be heresy from which the
stoutest and most progressive heart
refrains. | know that the time-hon-
ored prophecy is based on Patrick
Henry's saying that there was no way
of Judging the future but by the past,
but with due respect to that worthy
gentleman, there is better way, for
where would progress be were that
the principle of life? We should
be in q continuous round, cir
Gle, treadmill, from which there
would be no escape; as yesterday
was so will tomorrow be. Why
not select new way of doing even the
old things just for change If for no
other motive; it is the same old groove,
or rut, that grinds us down and whit
ties us into the sharp points that we so
much dread; so then, first of all, letus
dispense with some of the luxuries, say
the big Sunday dinner that entails so
much work on the feminine portion of
the home, and let us eat that meal
some other day or if you will have a
big dinner on that day go to the res
taurant and give the wife little, at
least, of a different kind of cooking;
true it may not be savory as the homes
made article, but it will enhance our
appreciation of that article Then in
stead of burdening our souls on Sun
day evening with the query as to
whether the washerwoman will come
on the morrow, and the preparations
for her reception, in the way of getting
up the tubs and sorting over the soiled
clothing, why not leave these rites
until Monday, gather up our clothing
on that day and wash on the next; If
not, why not? There are number OF
things that might be done, but Rome
was not built in day nor will all the
reforms come in day.-Grace Ter

Party Dresses for Girls.

Party dresses forlittle girls are quite
as attractive as the childish beauties
of the little wearers deserve. The
main idea on which the small maiden's
party dress is built is low-necked,
short-sleeved slip of silk, over which
is draped gauze, tulle, chiffon, or mus
lin, the skirt and bodice being made in
one in the silk slip, the skirt either
made full or faring, in nine-gored
shape. If there Is muslin worn over
this, it is mass of frills, high in the
neck, the sleeves coming down to the
wrists and the whole enriched with
beautiful needlework. Lace and body
ribbon are also used in the production
of elaborate effects.

Evolution of White Custards.

At cooliing-school lecture the
teacher demonstrated the evolution OF
some white custards that should go
down to posterity. They are. made as
follows: Break the whites of four eggs
into small teacupful of graduated
sugar, mixing thoroughly, but not
beating the eggs. Into this is stirred,
gradually, a pint and half of rich
milk, previously heated thoroughly,
but neither scalded nor boiled. The
mixture should be quite smooth before
being put into the cups; If not, it
should be strained. Place the cups in
a panof water and cover with thick
brown or buttered paper to prevent
their coloring.' They should be quite
white when done. Bake in moderate
oven.

Preserving Baby's First Shoes.

Arecent fad among young mothers Is
to have baby's first shoes made objects
of beauty and sentimental interest
through the agency of some metal
preparation that is poured over the
little shoe, causing it to retain its
shape and showing all those dear little
spots and dents, so precious in the
eyes of the fond parent. An enter
prising firm has hitupon this plan, and
from the success they are making the
idea proves itself very popular one.
