hot as the first. Everyone knows that
much heat is lost by the removal of a
coy even for a moment. The mate
rails consist of two contrasting shades,
two ounces each, of double Berlin
zephyr wool. Sage green with either
very pale sky blue or salmon pink looks
well, or else golden brown with prim-
rose yellow, keeping all cases the pale

with the darker shade for the out
side cast on 80 stitches; work one row
plain. Then the rest is carried out In
what is sometimes known as briache
stitch; this is worked by making one,
slipping one and taking up two, in
every row the same. The coy is
worked in four sections, two for the
outside and two for the lining. For
each section use up one ounce of wool,
reserving just enough to join up the
sides when finished. For the lining
cast on 20 stitches instead of 80; this
will give it additional length sufficient
for the frill at the top. In joining up
leave slit on each side large enough
for the handle and spout to pass
through, as shown in the illustration.
Nothing simpler than this mode OF
making tea coy can well be imagined.
The finished effect, though plain, is
dainty and pretty, while the thickness
of the wool and the close stitch en-
ployed make it practical and useful

BABY's WEIGHING BASKET.

Improvement Over the Old Fashioned
Bandanna for Holding the New Born.
A newly-born baby, years ago, was
tied up in grandfather's big bandanna,
the rosebud head apeep out at one
corner, and thus swung upon the big
hook of the meat scales to make known
its weight.
Six, nine or ten pounds determined
the baby's capacity to scream doubt
less, and satisfied the eager curiosity
of the family.
Modern progression has determined
that the baby must be weighed, not
only upon his advent into the world,
but every week of his life, for his sus.

Dainty Linen for Dainty Women

but will sew them by hand with the,

narrowest hens possible, done with

mark napkins near the selvedge, half

The PIPE OF PEACE.
ANAL Carriers Experience With a rreaoh-
erous Indian.

In July, 1882, Peter Schneider, who
Is now policeman in Cincinnati, met
with an adventure which he will not
soon forget. The Second United States
cavalry, to which he then belonged,
were in camp at the big bend of Milk
river. Schneider had been detailed
mail carrier between the camp and
Fort Assiniboine. On the way coming
he met an Indian at Clear creek. They
exchanged the courtesies of the day,
and the redslsin, with treachery in his
heart, offered the soldier the pipe of
peace They smoked in silence on
the roadway for short time.
The Indian asked for chew of
tobacco Schneider always carried a
half-pound plug, and pulled it out of
his pocket. The Indian took his knife
and cut off a small piece from the cor
ner, returning to Schneider, not the
large plug, but the small piece which
he had taken.
The soldier wouldn't have it that
way, and compelled him to make the
exchange. They were still on appar-
emily sfriendly terms, however, and
there was no occasion for any exchange
of hostilities. Schneider asked the
Indian for nearer trail to the fort
than the one he had been travelling,
and the Indian with whom he had
smoked the pipe of peace showed him
the way. They separated, and when
Schneider had gone about fifty yards
something impeled him to look about
him.. He saw the Indian in the act OF
drawing bead on him. Schneider
protected himself by lodging behind
the horse, slung his weapon from his
shoulder and returned the fire of the
savage. The latter fled, but turned
twice to fire.
Schneider also shot at him, and sud-
denly the Indian and his horse disap-
peared from sight as though the earth
had swallowed them. Schneider fol-
lowed, and stood mortified at the brink
of precipice over two hundred feet
in depth. At the bottom lay the In
dian and his pony, both dead. The
treacherous savage, in his hurried at
tack, had forgotten about this cliff,and
in his fight went to destruction.
Schneider took his saddle and gun
and reported the matter TO his superior
officers. He has the saddle to-day, one
of the trophies of his sojourn among

THE MILK WILL NOT BOIL OVER.

Philadelphia Record 1t is simply
constructed rim, which must tightly fit
the pot in which the milk is to be
boiled. Upon the inside of it is another
rim in which holes are cut even dis
tances apart. This pot needs no watch
ing, and if it does boil over no harm can
be done, as the overflow returns to the
pot through the small holes provided in
the rim sufficiently cooled off to pre-
vent it from boiling over any more. A
benefit Of this system Is that milk can
be kept boiling for long time, and
thereby sterilized milk, forming nu-
tritious and healthy food for babies, can
be obtained.
