The only really peculiar fact about
this special design is the color used for
the tiny buds that tip each spray.
These in place of being worked with
blue, as they ordinarily are, were
copied direct from nature, and show a
faint old pink tint.

Any width may be used, but the most
graceful bag Is formed from ribbon
three inches and a half wide, and not
quite half yard long.
Two lengths of ribbon are required,
one for the front and the other for the
back Of the bag. They are placed to-
gether and two of the edges sewed up
on the wrong side then the Joined
pieces are laid out fiat and on the
wrong side, very delicate pad of bat

batting before the silk Is put In post

When batting and silk are arranged,
fold over the whole thing and stitch
up on the wrong side the two uhsewed
edges of the bag. After the bottom
has been secured, turn the bag over to
the right side. A draw-string run
with narrow ribbons is given the top,
sothat quite ruffled edge stands up,
revealing glimpses of the silk lining.
Now the decorations for the bag,
like its foundation, consist of ribbon.

In Putting Down Carpets.

When putting down carpets in rooms
that are much used it is good plan to
spread newspapers over the floors, then
take clean straw and scatter it evenly
over the papers, and then put your car
pets down. 1t will let the dust
through on the paper, and clouds of
dust will not follow the broom on
sweeping day. The carpet will last
longer with this lining than with any
other, and when you take them up
you will find the dust lodged on the
paper, and if carefully removed to the
rubbish pile, you will avoid filling
your lungs with poisonous dust, as but
little will be found on sweeping the
floors. In putting down carpets in
sparerooms, where they are not likely
to be taken up very often, it is an ex
cellent plan - scatter smoking tobacco
over the paper to guard against moths
and the buffalo bug. This is sure
preventive against the attacks oil
moths, and carpets may be safely left
down in sparerooms for number oil

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROADS..

Senator Allen of Nebraska has in
troduced resolution to appoint a
committee to consider the advisable
ity or necessity of Government own
ership of railroads. The Omaha
platform adopted by the Populists on
July 4. 1894, declared in favor of
Government ownership of railroads
and telegraphs. Though the idea had
been advanced by Senator John P.
Jones and few other prominent
men years ago, the declaration was
looked upon by many as one of the
insane suggestions of the cranky Pop
ulists. Today many of those who
two years ago ridiculed the sugges-
tion as visionary, advocate it, They
see that under existing conditions
railroads cannot be run without State
or National troops. A disagreement
between any railroad company and
its employees is liable to stop traffic
on all the principle roads of the
country. AS in the present case
nearly all railroads espouse the cause
of Pullman and make his fight their
fight. Labor, also, is organizing on
the same principle as the railroad
companies and contest between the
men in the Pullman car shops at
Chicago, is taken up by men en-
ployed in every department of the
railroad service,
Government ownership of railroads
would certainly end such controver-
sizes. Men would receive fixed sal
airy for stated services and wages
could not be reduced except by act of
Congress or at least an order from
the executive department. Of the Gov
eminent. Transportation rates for
passengers and freights would be re-
duced to minimum, as the postage
on letters and other mailable matter
has been, and whatever profits should
be derived from operating roads and
telegraphs would go into the Ma
tional treasury.
A serious objection t. Government
ownership of railroads is that every
official would presumably, as Federal
officials do now, exert all his intiu-
ence to prolong the power of the
party that gave him office. AT pre-
sent there are over 100000 officials
and the number would be increased
to q million or more if the roads and
telegraphs were operated by the
Government. This would be for
midable army for the opposition to
contend with, but remedy could be
easily devised. Give every man the
privilege of holding Federal office if
he can get it, but prohibit him from
voting for Presidential Electors or
members of Congress while he holds
the office, This would take railroads
out of politics and insure government
control as we'll as management of the
roads.
