THE ART OF DARNING.

It Should Be Taught as an Essential Part
of Home Training.
The proper darning of rent in cloth
is en- art that cannot be easily picked
up and should be taught to girls as an
essential part of their practical home
training. The expert darner of wooden
cloth will make a rent practically in
visible by weaving together the torn,
edges, matching them as carefully as
possible and afterward pressing the
rent. A fine sewing silk is used to darn
wooden cloth in preference to any wool.
which would not be strong enough un-
less the thread or raveling was too
coarse. Where the cloth is thick enough.
endeavor to conceal the silk thread be-
tween the face and back of the cloth.
Begin about half an inch from the
edge of one side of the tear, and run the
needle the same distance from the other
edge, concealing the thread carefully
and drawing the edges closely together,
but not so they overlap. If there is
any nap on the cloth, brush it back
while you are darning, and then brush
it down again. Lay a damp cotton
NAOoh vi viz "AohG oiNaO Va tAtNS SAOIAS
over the darn, and press it down once;
then remove the cotton cloth and press
next the wooden surface, being careful
that you do not press it perfectly dry,
but that very little steam arises after
the iron is removed. II the cloth is
pressed perfectly dry, the work OF the
iron will be shown on the right side.
A piece of cloth is usually darned with
vertical and diagonal stitches running
with the threads of the cloth. The "up-
and-down' thread is usually the strong
est way of mending bias darn. Use
no piece of cloth under the darning un-
less the cloth is thin. In that case,
piece of silk of the same color is less
clumsy as backing to the darn than
wool, unless the wool is sheer.-N. Y.

The VALUE OF MONEY. 4
Why 1t Should Be Explained to Children

by Their Parents.
If we expect a child to grow up with
a knowledge of the value of money,
we must make it part of his educa-
ton. 1t is just as sensible to expect him
to appreciate rare work of art, with
out ever having seen a painting, as to
expect him to use money judiciously
without knowledge, gained by expert
ence, of its value. Many young peo-
pie are spendthrifts when they come
into possession of little money, sim
ply because they do not know the pur-
chasing value of a dollar.
Let the little one earn few pennies
BY hard work, that he may know the
cost of them. He may spend part

the same? Carefully explain to him
that, SO long as he spends all he earns,
he will never save enough to buy some
thing greater. Get him To invest his

Gov. Altgeld Replies In an Open Letter
to the Secretary's Speech.

to the Secretary's Speech.
Springfield, ILL.,, April 25.--Gov. Alt
geld has written on open letter in reply
to the speech OH the money question re-
Gently delivered at Chicago by Secre'
tary Carlisle. A synopsis follows:
He begins by quoting from Mr.. Carlisle's
statement of 1878. in which the latter de-
clares that the decentralization of silver,
which he chara cterizes as conspiracy
would ultimately entail more misery upon
the human race than all the wars,
pestilence and famine that had ever
occurred" And, commenting on it, at
tacks the secretarys change to gold
standard.
"There are two other members of the
cabinet-Hoke Smith. of Georgia, and Her.
bert of Alabama. who, like Carlisle, have
made their voices heard for nearly life
time demanding the restoration of silver,
and denouncing the great conspiracy that
struck 1t down, and, strange to say, when
these two men entered Clevcland's cabinet,
they underwent a change of heart, and,
like Carlisle, they avoid talking about 1t.
Why did not Carlisle throw a little light on
this question?
who are opposed to the single gold standard
are only following the doctrines which Car
isle & Co. preached. Are we to infer that
Mr.. Carlisle and his two cabinet associates
were scoundrels and lunatics until they got
to be old men, and that the tinsel of cab
met position not only made them honest,
but gave them brains? Carlisle should have

PENSIONS FOR ALL.
Provisions Being Made for Veteran. VII

ffOVlslOns Being Made Tor Veterans Vine
Served Their Country Before 1861.
There are some persons who have
borne arms in the service of the United
States in wars before 1861 who are not
on the pension rolls. There are vet
Grams and widows of veterans of the sew
sral Indian wars between 1882 and 1912
scattered over the west and south, and
there are five survivors who took part
in the Seminole war in Florida in 1917
1918. OF the Indian wars later than
1882 down to 1860 there are a great many
survivors, so that the total number Of
benefciaries under an act to pension
these veterans and widows of veterans
is probably about 1000. To pension
this number will require about $3.50, 900
year, and the senate committee on pen
sions has drafted bill to this effect.
