FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

One of our brightest young lady
readers sends the following suggestions
for making gifts topresent your friends
as holiday presents:
Lunch and tea cloths are still made
fa~ncifully, but the handsomest are of
sheer linen, not too foe, with hem
stitch and hem Over the surface are
powdered Dresden china fashion, deli
cate flower sprays worked in Asiatic
flo floss.
A photograph case is made of vel,
low chamois skin, this is cut large
enough to hold cabinet photographs,
and is lined with broken silk The
edges are finished with tinsel cord, and
the front is embroidered with for get
me nots in blue Asiatic floseIIe, the
centres of these flowers have a simple
yellow jewel fastened in place with
yellow Asiatic embroidery silk
In embroidering flowers solldIy'
make the stitches of different lengths,
leaving irregular edge. Choose shades
that will blend perfectly, so it can
hardly be told where one begins and
the other ends. Leaves should always
be commenced at the point and worked
from the mid-vein outward, it usually
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1895-12-17

being best to carry the stitch a triae
beyond the outline to give an irregular
edge.
A very attractive pillow could be
large and square, of a dull blue denim
embroidered in black Asiatic twisted
embroidery silk. A double rufHe of
ONack saGln o be a good finish.
A daintier pillow might be made of
white linen duck. finished in scalloDs
buttonholed in yellow Roman floss, A
double 1ufhe of yellow Indian silk ia
fastened beneath the scallops The
embroidery IN this pillow is done in
yellow Boston art silk in conventional
designs.
Tan-colored linen makes a good pill
low. Outline stars and scrolls with
reddish brown Roman floss, and finish
round the edge with a puff Of the same
shade of silk.
One recently seen was of yellow silk,
the pillow being twenty eight inches
long and nineteen inches wide. Over
the centre was placed a strip of white
linen thirteen and a half inches in
width, which was cut in scallops ON
the edge and worked buttonhole stitch
in Roman floss. Conventional designs
done in white ornamented the linen
centre.
Canvas rep is an admirable fabric
for pillows; also art denim, linen or
cotton duck, corduroy, cotton Bedford
cord and cretonne are all suitable for
the purpose.
A quick method of making a dolly is
to take a fine, bemstitched handker-
chief, cut it in quarters, which will
give you four pieces, two sides of which
are hemstitched, while the other two
sides r unfinished. The unfinished
edges r fringed. The doilies ere en-
broidered with a single thread of flo
floss in forget-me ,nots, daisies, or some
similar design, using white Asiattc flo
floss, natural shades, or in Dresden
style-that is. making each hpwer q
different color. The latter style is
quite popular.
A pillow of buff linen embroidered
with a branch of pine in green and
brown and filled with pine needles is q
nice gift.

ArTHE GATE.

The bicycle girl stood at st. Peters
gate. With a perplexed look, and keys
shifted around to the back of his belt,
the Keeper of the Doorway, venerable
and tottering, bent toward her.
Il don't see how we can manage it,
madam" he finally said. 1--WE have
nothing on hand but the conventional
robes cut Grecian style on the bias and
absolutely undivided"
"Yes," she murmured, her hands
falling helplessly against her boomers.
II remember now. 1t has always
been said, There shall be no parting
there"
And with a bitter cry she lighted
her lamp and prepared to flee into the
outer darkness.

AN ADAMLEss EDRN.

A Queer Sect of Women Down in Texas.
Located in the thriving town of Bel
ton, Tex in the central part of that
State, is a curious colony of religionists,
known as "Sanctifed Sister, " or Sane
tifcationists." Three representative
women of this order are Mrs. Martha
McWhirter, founder of the sect; Mrs.
Gertrude Scheeble, secretary of the CO.
operative institution owned and con-
trolled by these peculiar people, and
the treasurer. Miss Lizzie Holtzclaw.
This strange community of earnest
women is the ~outgrowth of a religious
movement that has cut off its members
from all intercourse with the world,
and has even divided happy house
holds. The doctrine protested by the
women is of a very simple character,
and embodies three essential principles
"a life of cellbacy, acommon property
interest and an isolated existence.
Among the members are those who
previously were social leaders in their
respective towns, universally respected
and some of them were very wealty.
The original leader of the Sanctifica-
tionists, and their present head. Mrs.
Martha McWhirter, is a woman of in
domitable will. She was the mother
of twelve children when first she con
ceived the idea of this new belief. Her
husband naturally opposed her extra
ordinary views and endeavored to
prevent her from assisting in spread
ing them. But his objections were in
vain.
Nineteen years ago the society as
sumed tangible form, and since that
period a steady growth, financially and
otherwise, has been made. History
records no instance where stubborn
ness, folly and fanaticism have been
so strangely intermingled. Stern de-
votion to principle, heroic fortitude
and ~selfsacrifice have been and are the
controlling influences. In the early
day 8 of the society the women rdeterm-
ined to raise money in order that the
society might be self supporting Each
employed a method of her own for &C.
complishiDg this result.
1t is strikingly Indicative of their
earnestness to know that one woman.

DON'T o R THE EYES.

The eye is a very sensitive organ,
but it will stand a great deal, if you
will not nag or overwork it. It is so
much in evidence, and so constantly
in use, that it isnature for people to be
nervous if there is the least
thing the matter with it, and to go to
tinkering with it as if it were some
piece of metal machinery instead of
fish and muscle.
If some little soreness appears, we
are not satisfied until we have deluged
it with ''eye water" This as often
brings on inflammation as it keeps it
away it may be that ali che eye needs
is a little rest.
A great many people use spectacles
many years before there is any need
of it. Instead of giving their eyes a
rest, they keep them at work, with the
aid and encouragement of glasses,
sometimes i'll fitted and really injurl
GUS.
Everywhere has in mind an old gen
tleman who at the age of sixty thought
that his eyesight was failing, and
wished very much to get some
GLASSES" But he lived at a distance
from the places where good glasses
were sold, and had to go without them,
at least for several months.
This necessitated a complete rest for
the eyes, so far as reading was con-
cerned; and they soon appreciated and
took advantage of it. At the end of a
few months he found, to his surprise,
that his eyesight was becoming better
again. Day by day it improved, and
he finally found that it was as good
as he had ever known it. He began to
read again with new zest and vigor,
being careful not to overdo the matter.
He soon decided that he had no use for
spectacles, and continued to the end
of his life without them He died over
eighty years of age, with his eyes as
young" as ever
So, when the eyes ''give out" let US,
if we are satisfied so that we possibly
can, give them a chance to see what
they can do for themselves, and may
be they will come out all the stronger
and better for the chance.-WM earle.

It mechanically honey combs the curd,
as it were, thereby rendering it more
accessible to the gastric juice.
Some of the daintiest housekeepers
neglect to enforce the rule that a brush
or broom should never be stood brush
part down on the floor, where the
straws or hairs gather dust or damp:
ness. Every one of these articles
should hang from its own hook.
t. cleanse glass bottles that have
held oil, place ashes in each bottle and
immerse in cold water, and then heat
the water gradually until it boils
after boiling an hour, let them remain
till cold. Then wash the bottles in
soap suds and rinse in cold water.
A teaspoonful of borax put in the
last wafer in which clothes are rinsed
will whiten them surprisingly. Pound
the borax so that it will Dissolve easily.
This is especially good to remove the
yellow that time gives to white gar
ments that have been laid aside for
two or three years.
Dishes should be arranged for wash
ing in the following order: Glass, sill
yer, cups and saucers, plates and
other dishes. Wash the cleanest first
and only a few at time. Two pans, one
for washing and one for rinsing should
be used. Plates should be well scraped
before washing, and dish rags and
towels kept very clean and sweet.
To boil a potato so it will be white
and mealy, wash clean throughseveral
waters, pare once around; be sur the
water is boiling hard when the pota-
toes are put in; add a pinch of salt to
the water, boil until they drop from a
fork thrust in them Pour off the wa
ter, remove the lid, and let steam on
the back of the stove. If the potato is
a good variety, the result will be a
beautiful, faky, appetizing dish, fit
for anY table.

DOMESTIC HINTS,

Clothes will be whitened BY putting
a t~easpoontul of borax in the rinsino
water.
Flannels should never be wrnno or
ironed. First dip them in hot s1ds
then rinse in water of about the samo
temperature in which a little soan has
been put.
Children can be trained with tbo
greatest ease to offer the cheek or the
forehead for the preferred caress. and
to elude the attempt to contaminate
the lips. Convent pupils are taueh,
to give and receive salutes upon the
cheeks.
For plain paste Mrs. Rorer gave thc

TWO NEW WAYS TO COOE
CHICKEN.

Dreamed Chicken Dress and joint
a young chicken and put into a baking
pan with a teaspoonful of salt, half as
much pepper and a tablespoon of butter,
unless the chicken is very fat. In that
case use only a little butter. Cover
the chicken with sweet milk, set in the
oven uncovered, and bake until done.
When the milk has cooked away it
will be done. Requires usually about
an hour. This is perfectly delicious.
We think this the finest way in which
chicken can be cooked.
Another fine way is to dress and
joint a chicken and stew until tender,
remove from the liquor, and thicken
the latter as for gravy. Put a layer
of chicken in a baking pan with enough
of the gravy to come up even with the
top of the chicken. Pour over it a
batter made from a pint of milk, two
eggs, a little salt, and a teaspoonful of
baking powder, and -four to make it
little thicker than for pan cakes. Put
an even but thin layer of this, another
of chicken, and an upper layerof crust
of the batter. Put in the oven and
bake until the crust is crisp and brown.
Serve with the remainder of the gravy
hot. CLARA EvERTs.

HE GAVE THE MEASURE.

The story is told in the Youths Com
panion of a man who kept a provision
store in a factory town, who was odd
and queer. Many of the boys and men
in the town thought it fun to make
sport Of the man, whom they called
"Old Pro-" One day three of them
went into his shop, and one of them
asked:
How much do you ask for a yard of
pork9"
Zone dollar" answered the old man.
I'LL take a yard" said the spokes-
man.
"Where is your money!"
The dollar was produced, the dealer
pocketed it, and handed the customer
three pigs feet.
"How is that2' asked the fellow.
"Why," answered Old Pro, ''three
feet make a yard, don't they9"
Pigs feet are worth about three cents
each. The joke was not on Old Pro
that time.

In the column for young folks to tell
about a hunt I took not long ago. l

until four p. M, eating a lunch about
one O'Clock. 1 killed eight birds and
two rabbits. know it isn't a good
way to shoot rabbits when you are
bird hunting, but when the "Mollie
Cotton Tail" jumps up I can't resist
the temptat ton to shoot. Can any of
you ftteen-year old readers beat that's
L am very fond of hunting.
