the simple chain stitch, which may be
drawn through each succeeding hole in

gag, on the cross or indeed following
any given lines, curved or otherwise.
Then there is the chain stitch that is
worked alternately in two rows of holes

NEW CROCHET WORK.
IT IS AN EMBROIDERY KNOWN AS
CANVAS CROCHET

This Promises to Divide Honors with Gro

The new art Of crochet embroidery,
known also as canvas crochet, IS a fresh
proof that the possibilities of startling
novelties In crochet work are by no
means exhausted The method of GRO

popularity, and fresh ideas are continu-

another novelty from appearing and di-

One great advantage claimed for
crochet embroidering is that the mate

On Friday of last week President
Cleveland sent a message to Congress
appealing for relief from The present
financial straits of the country. Con-
gress acted promptly and has passed a
bill, adding $40, 900, COO to the revenue
Of the country, by note Of 205 to 81.
This is evidence of Republican Con-
gress, an active, working Congress. 1t
is more than probable that before these
lines reach our readers, that Congress
will have passed bond bill authoriz-
ing the Treasury to make loans at 8
per cent. and thus save another loan
to foreign capitalists at 4 and 5 per
cent, such as Cleveland and Carlisle
have made recently, giving away mil
lions of the peoples money. There
was no mistake made when Republic
can Congress was elected.

Reciprocity.

Those who do not believe in sentiment,
and'who with hard heads (ifnot cold hearts
believe in giving Christmas presents only to
those who give them in return, only swap
gifts. This is not the giving enjoined in
the Bible-that ''it is more blessed to give
than to receive" Selfish giving is reciprocity
This is not bad whatever 1t may lack of the
divine spirit.
But there are those who believe in reci-
procity to its fullest extent, however they
may practise it. They firmly belle We in an

A CURIOSITY IN NUMBERS.

What ever will put the child to think
ing will do good. If parents and
teachers will call the attention of chill
dren to items of unusual interest it
would start in many of them train of
thoughts that would create desire to
know something else from books tr
papers. Try it.
Below is given Clipping from the
st. Louis Republic which will illustrate
our meaning. State your proposition
to the school. illustrate ith the num-
Der 2, the first product being 4, the Sec
ond 16, the third 256, and before they
have made the least calculation have
them guess how long it would take
them to figure out the result. Have
the whole school to guess with pencil
and paper silently, and then gather the
guessing slips and compare. Before
giving them the information which the
TRANSCRIPT gives you it would not be
a-miss to have them try the calcula-
tion. We predict that such an exer-
else will arouse the most Indifferent
school. Will some teacher try it and
report briefly to The TRANSCRIPT?

report:
The final product called for contains

Allowing three figures to an inch, the an
swer would be over 1000 feet in length.
To perform the operation would require
about 100000 figures. If these

hours per day, and working 300 full
days each year, would need 2S years in
which to complete the task. If, in
multiplying, he should make row Of

number Of such characters used would
exceed 523, ,000, 900. In fact, to be
exact, the precise number of figures
used would be 523, ,939, ,229. The above
would be the precise number of figures

ure in each multiplicand was always a
