Venetian embroidery done on heavy

outlined with flat soUtache braid. but

in with various lace stitches.
Roman embroidery on heavy satin
duck is also used. The designs are out

For netting" very few and simple
implements are required. They consist
of netting needles and mcSheS of vari-
OTIS sizes. They are made Of steel for
fine work and OF ivory, bone or box
wood for larger, cOarSer work.
Split outline stitch is used for outlin-
ing very fine designs. 1t is the same as
ordinary outline stitch. except that the
needle is brought up through instead of
ut II side of the thread OF the preced-
ing stitch. thus making the outline finer
and more evcn.
Many new tea cloths and center cloths
are finished with hemstitched borders.
and are decorated with the fish net
stitch. The outlining may be done with
silk or with cord covered with. or
rather caught down by. %buttonhole
stitch. Fish net work done in colors
is very attractive.

Learning

Il was OH n stage that runs up
through Napa County Il few days ago,
said Attorney Martin Stevens, when
l passed a farm house with half Il doZ-
en- mischievOus boys playing about the
yard. Outside the gate were half a
dozen fat pigs with tin cans tied to
their stubby tails. The cans were filled
every time a pig moved. The porkers
stood glaring at each other while try
ing TO make up their minds whether to
run and squcal or stand still and grunt.
why do they put weights on the
pigs tails? inquired a young English
man, who was going up into Lake
County To learn %ranching.
ITO keep 'em from runnin' all the
fat off themselves explained the stage
driver.
"Oh. ya-a-s, novel idea, ba Joye,' cx-
claimed the B%ritisher.
Just then we passed Il couple of
dogs that were trying TO gnaw the tin
cans off their tails.
But why do they put weights on
the dogs tails? asked the Britisher,
who suspected the driver of lying.
why, to keep 'em from chasing

Waist Disbursements.

What is Il wcll-proportioned waist:
Lady Haberton says: The true proper
ton Is Il difference of ten inches be-
tween the circumference Of the bust
and that Of the waist. Thus Il woman
whose bust measures lh~irty-siX inches
should have Il waist measuring twenty-
six inches. Bust forty inches. waist
thirty inches. and 50 on. Very few cor
sets are made in this proportion. and
II they were, still fewer people would
buy them, as fashion dccrccs that the
waist should measure from twelve To
fifteen inches less than the bust IN
the course of time womcn may come ia
realize that true artistic effect is only
attained by n proper respect for proper
ton ana symmetry. Plenty acknowl-
edge this truisin in most things but
dress, where they cannot avoid flying to

A ErOnincD in
~ speaking of the sensational dia-
mond robbcries of the last week
or two. said that in such cases careless
ness was usually the cause.
We have built many vaults in houses
similar to the Brooklyn vault safe, but
naturally such work is not noised
abroad 10 any extent. In fact. absolute
secrecy as to location. etc. is one Of
the provisions OF such contracts. Of
late Years we have built safes in the
oldest and least suspected parts for
residences. and houses have been en-
tered by burglars and robbed of arji-
cleS of small value while these hidden
safes are PASSED by unnoticed.
These jewel safes cost anywhere
from $500 To several thousand, where
there is any ~cXcavating work or Any
elaborate provisions for hiding entrance
doors. etc. But Il safe III IL private resi-
dcncc is much more secure than an
office safe, which is unprotected during
