WOMAN AND HOME.
THREE SIMPLE DESIGNS.

valuable Hints for Ladies' Who Delight In
Dainty Linen.
A fine quality of linen will be found
good body material for both large and
small doilies. Seven inches square is
good size, and to make 1t cut piece of
hlen eight inches square.
The flowers may he worked in outline
stitch or solid with two shades of blue
silk. The leaves are to be green and
the stems darker shade of green or
light greenish brown.
When working small flowers do not
use coarse grade of silk or linen floss
as 1t forms ropy appearance on fine
linen and stands out too prominently
instead of lying fiat as all fine embroid-
cry work should.
The design for pretty linen dolly
having spray of maidenhair fern en-
broidered ia one corner is shown in the
illustration. AS it is simple TO work
out, any clever girl should be able to
make one or a number of them in a
short time.
The fern leaves may be worked solid
with a shade of delicate green, while
the vines and stems should be indicated
with darker shade of green to lend a
contrast.
After the design has been worked the
fringe can be made in the following
manner:
A short distance from each edge draw
few threads and work line of hem
stitching. Ravel out the threads from
the stitching to the edge of the ma
terial, at each corner catching few of
the ravelings to form more threads. To
make them lie nicely around each cor
ner place the dolly fiat on marble
seat or on board and with stiff brush
smooth the threads out, then with a
small sharp pair of scissors trim off the
ends of the threads.
Take care when working the fern
leaves and stems not to draw the
threads too tight, as it will cause the
linen around them to pucker; this will
occur slightly in any case, however, but
can be remedied by washing the dolly
after the work is finished
One of the most attractive features of
large piece, such as lambrequin,
scarf or table cover, is it's border, and
particularly if a pretty design and nice
~ worked.
A neat and very simple running bor-
der to work is shown in the illustra-

and finished with heavy white cord,
makes durable and attractive pillow
covering.
The siesta pillow, to be used in the
hammock and indoors, for the invigor-
ating forty winks" that restores the
pink to the cheek and comfort to the
nerves, should have a cover made Of
material that will readily launder.
The cover should be left open at one
side and furnished with tiny button
holes and little fat lace buttons, that
will fasten beneath blind hem, under
fluffy voluminous ruffies that will
wholly conceal the opening.
Gay bandanna, with yellow pink and
delicate blue predominating in the
bright plaid, will make serviceable and
inexpensive covers. White dimity and
lowered chintz will prove even fresher
after visit to the washtubs than at
first.
The fourth, suitable for a wedding
gift is of heavy white satin, the linked
hearts worked il silver. Lace and
satin frills encircle this charming pill
low for bride, and al one corner is
caught with knot of white ribbons
and cluster of orange blossoms.-N. Y.

duces in effect the very sheen of the
water in sunlight.
The design upon the face of the
cushion is sea dragon drawn in ex-
quisite curves and sweeps, and wrought
couched down with white and yellow
silk thread. The embroidery sparlsles
and glints from the green background.
A 5-inch double ruffie of the satin, over
set with 4-inch fall of tishnet
spangled in silver and gold, completes
the tout ensemble. This design will
recommend itself in cheaper stuffs,
green crepon or denim, at Is cents
yard. The dragon or fish net and
little fishes af1oat in water hues, may
be readily drawn upos the material
and worked in in Japanese gold and
silver cord and couched into place.
The laurel wreath design is made of
dark, rich green satin, ltnotted together
at the base by means of n brown velvet
bow-lnot. The design is cut out and
appliqued upon a background of
changeable velvet, which serves as the
face of the pillow.
The pile of the velvet is the dainty
gray tint of freshly burned ashes,
while beneath it CLEANS cherry red
color, suggestive of fire flame.
The entire design is edged with tiny
gold cord, couched into place with yell
low silk thread; a heavy gold cord
edges the cushion, with distingue
! twists in the cord at the corners. 1t is
backed with somber brown satin.
This design would be very lovely
made up in linen duck, with the wreath
embroidered in green, or it might still
be appliqued in satin, as the satin is SO
like the gloss of the actual laurel leaf.
In applique work the design should al
ways be backed by stout muslin, cut
out carefully, and thoroughly basted
upon the background about the edges,
then hemmed down firmly with self
colored sewing silk, and lastly overset
with the cord, couched st regular in.

TESTING THE COWS.
A Simple Method of Determining the Per-
formance of Each.

A Simple Method of Determining the Per-
formance of Each.
Test your cows is the advice con-
Gnually given by dairymen and agri"
cultural papers, and, like most advice,
is needed least by those who need it
most Many farmers, while admitting
its wisdom, excuse themselves from
following it on the plea that they have
no testing apparatus, and therefore no
means of knowing the respective per-
formances of the cows. .
To such would say that no scien-
tific apparatus is necessary. The churn
is after all the most satisfactory kind
of tester. All that is necessary is to.
keep one cows milk separate for a
couple of days, all the cream being
carefully removed. When the cream
has ripened it should be churned, and
the scales will give the product, both
of milk and butter. After each cow in
the herd has thus been tested, a COM
parison of results will tell which are
the most profitable cows and which do
not pay for their keep. A little of this
kind of testing would cause many a
farmer to change his opinion of the
merits of the respective members of
his herd, and enable him to weed ont
worthless stock. Try it. The test is a
simple one; it is easily applied, and the
and you will never regret the bother
you have had in finding out the leak in
your protits.-C. d. Bell, in n. \. World.

Hint About Cooking Rhubarb.

Not everyone knows that rhubarb
can be as easily cooked in the oven as
on top of the stove. Cut the rhubarb
in half-inch lengths; do not peel it.
Put it in an earthen pudding dish. To
a dozen moderate-sized stalks add two
cups of sugar. Cover the rhubarb with
a plate and set in moderately-hot
oven. Let it cook in this way for about
one hour. If it is rich, juicy, red rhu-
barb, it will pot be necessary to add
any water, as the juices will draw out
of it fast enough to cook it in. Tarts
made of rhubarb cooked in this way are
especially nice, covered with thick
white meringue.

To Prevent Smut In wheat.

Place the seed in d barrel of water
and stir until all the grain is wet and
the smutted and imperfect grains rise
to the surface, when they should be
SKINNED off. Remove the grain after
10 to 80 minutes and place half
bushel at time in vessel through
which water can penetrate rapidly.
A wire basket with l2 meshes to the
inch or gunny sacking will do. Then
lmmerse the seed in a barrel of wate
at temperature of ITO to 120 de-
grees, lift and immerse again, rotating
tho sack, that every grain may be
soaeed. Then immerse the sack in an-
other barrel Of water at 132 degrees,
at no time allowing the water to be
below 130 degrees or above 1876. Re-
peat the immersion number of times
in the scalding water. After the last
alp plunge into vessel of cold water
and spread to dry.-Farm and Home.

When They Cut Their Boards.

In France Henry ~. was the last
sovereign who wore a beard, and he
had tolerably fine one. He was sue
ceeded by beardless minor, in compli-
ment to whom the curators shaved all
their boards except the mustaches.
The succession of another minor con-
frmed the custom, and ultimately the
mustaches also disappeared. The
Spaniards, more tardily influenced by
French example, kept their boards
until the French and English were be-
ginning to relinquish even mustaches.
Perhaps they would have kept the
cherished appendage; but a French
prince-Philip V.-succeeded to the
Spanish throne with a shaved chin.
The courtiers with heavy hearts imi-
tated the prince, and the people, with
still heavier hearts, initiated the cour'
tiers. The popular feeling on the sub
ject, however, remains recorded in the
proverb: "Since we have lost ou1
boards we have lost our souls. AL

ing, so you may not be puzzled to know
how to form one.
This design is adapted to scarf, a
mantel lambrequin, bed spread, or to
the edge of any large piece that is too
large to work design in the middle of.
On white linen this design looks well
worked with delicate shade of salmon
pink silk or rope linen.
When transferring design, such as
a running border that has to be re-
peated, care should be taken to have it
appear evenly along the edges of a piece
of goods.-Harry Adams, in Chicago

Simplicity Almost TO the Point of Severity
Now the Fashion.
The over-ela aborate lamp shade has
had its day. Fashion now DEGREES a
shade simple to severity, whose con-
tracted dimensions are in quaint con-
trast to the widespread flounces and
furbelows of it's predecessors. The
new shades are of paper or silk plainly
drawn over smooth surface, and
are hand painted. They are finished at
the top and bottom with prim quill
ing of narrow satin ribbon, and look
precise and Qualserficd to a degree,
after all the laces, chiffons and flower
wreaths which have clustered about
lamps for the last few seasons.
Many are made to button up at one
side, SO that they may be taken off and
either rolled up or laid OUT smoothly
when it is desired to pack them. Some
of these shades are etched out in black
and white, and have old prints of French
gentlemen and ladies as their only dec
grafton. The most gorgeous are out
lined in silver, as wei as hand painted,
but demure unobtrusiveness charac-
teriZes them all.

nishers to order lamp shade made of
the same material as the wall drapery,

MAKING GOOD ROADS.

Some Valuable and Scnsibie Conclusions
Reached by Prof. Kline,
One authority on the subject of road
draining claims that in prairie soil
good road can be obtained for eleven
months in the year by simply putting
in a good system of tile drainage,
slightly rounding the road bed
and sowing grass seed so that the
roots may aid the drainage. II the
road surface is to perform the service
of roof it must be protected from the
action of narrow wagon wheels.
sharp turn is always in better condi-
tion than the straight portions of the
road. A little thought shows at once
that this is due to the fact that the
front and rear wheels do not follow
each other and therefore do not form
ruts. A slight difference in the length
of the front and rear axles of wagons
with the use of wide tires would ae-
complish more for roads, considering
the expense involved, than any other
one thing. 1t is hard to change Gus
tom, and probably nothing but legis-
lative action can introduce change.
This change need not prove hardship
to anyone, and the arguments against
such action are comparatively unim-
portant
Prof. King has reached the following
conclusions: BY careful study of local
conditions determine the cost of bad
roads. Pay this cost as interest on cap
ital borrowed for making the needed
Improvement. Substitute the cash sys,
TEN of paying road tax for the labor
system. Thoroughly drain all roads
and keep the drains always open. Dc
away with narrow tires and axles OF
the same length. Macadamize wher
ever the traffic will warrant after full
filling the above conditions Keep the
road as clean as you would the roof OF
a house, thus affording no chance fol-
water to collect and destroy the sur
face.-Farmers Voice.
