UNIQUE UPHOLSTERING.
Pretty Covers May BE Made of Awning
Cloth Embellished In Various Ways.

Pretty Covers May BE Made OF Awning
Cloth Embeilished In Various Ways.
Awning cloth, that stanch, sturdy
stuff which we have been wont to re-
gard only as a protection from the suns
too fierce rays, Is capable of many
things, and, once rescued, has future
of decorative worth.
In the old-fashioned bright reds and
broken stripes it was not desirable
thing, and was left to the severely
utilitarian uses 1t could serve. But to-
day, in common with other things, 1t
shows evidence of good design and that
improved color which is so excellent
a thing.
The touches md the divans that are
so popular and so delightful are eX-
cellent when upholstered with this
simple stuff, and outdoor pillows and
cushions are simply perfect when COW
cred with it's broad stripes and rich,
warm blues.
The fact of its being cool of texture,
as well as strong, makes the cloth pc
culiarly desirable for the summer
months, and many are the delightful
results pIluU CHI ne ODtuiueu Nv us Use.
Window seats upholstered with the
broad blue and white, or brown and
white, stripes are both handsome and
serviceable. The material that was de-
signed for awnings is necessarily strong
and durable, so that even the scramble
of the little people and such constant
use as the favorite window is sure to
get will do no harm. The colors will
not fade, the cloth will not easily sag,
and withal, the seat will be quite as
handsome as though the cost had BEEN
double, or even more.
For hammock pillows and piazza
cushions It is simply all that need be
asked, and its varying color needs 10
decoration outside itself, so that busy
women may well be glad to hall it's
coming. The peculiar stanchness and
durability of the cloth is, of course, the
same, let the color be what II will, and
when really good, warm tones are
added, 1t is indeed an excellent thing.

in baking dish, then layer of prunc
sauce made as for serving plain, only
removing the seeds of the prunes; then
add another layer of bread, and so on
with alternate layers until the dish is
full, having the top layer of bread. Hav-
ing sprinkled each layer with little
sugar, pour over the whole the prunc
juice and the remaiisler of the scaldcd

may be added to each layer; bake in a
moderate oven for three-quarters of an
hour. When cold turn 1t out on dish
and spread whipped cream over the top;
or II may be eaten hot with the favorite
pudding sauce. This is nice to prepare
on Saturday to be eaten cold for Sum
day dessert.-Philadelph Press.

THE ROMAN ROADS
Some of Them Are Still In Use and eau
for No Repairs.


Some of Them Are SIN In Use and csu
for No Repairs.
The Roman road was built for eter-
nifty. When the roadbed had been pre-
pared by excavation 1t was carefully
Feflled, regardless of expense, with
layers Of sand, stones and cement. Tho
surface was so solidly dressed that the
wear and tear was reduced to a mini
mum. Investigations with regard to
the preparation of the roadbeds were
made years ago by Bergier on Roman
roads that are still In use in France, and
with the following results: In one road
the excavation down TO hardpan was
three feet deep. This trench was filled
up first with layer of sand and cement
IN inch thick; then came foot layer of
flattish stones and cement; then foot
layer Of small travelled stones and
cement. These last two layers were 30
hard and firmly knit together that tools
could break off fragments only with
great difficulty. The next layer con-
sisted of foot Of cement and sand,
covered with top-dressing of gravel.
In another road In France the foot layer
of cement and sand changed places
with the layer of cement and travelled
stones. A third road in France was ex-
amined at q point where 1t had been
raised 20 feet above the level of the sur
rounding country, and vertical sec
ton revealed a structure of five layers.
First came the great fill of 16h feet;
on top Of this fill they placed first a
foot layer of flattish stones and cement,
then a foot layer Of fiattish stones with
out mortar Of any kind, then a half-foot
layer of firmly-packed dirt then
half-foot layer Of small gravel in hard
cement, and, lastly, half-foot layer
of cement and large gravel.
Paved roads were exceptional. An
example Of paved roads Is the Via APP
pia, whose pavement consists OF a hard
kind of stone, such as Is used for mill
stones. The stones Of this pavement
are carefully hewn and fitted together
so precisely that the road often appears
to be solid rock, and has. proved to be
so indestructfble that after 1000 years
Of continuous use 1t Is still magnifi-
cent road. Ordinarily, however, the top
dressing OF the road consisted OF gravel
and hard cement, and when, in the
countless inscriptions such and such
governor Is said to have restored a
given road, reference is made to this top
dressing of gravel and cement The
width of the military road was usually
60 feet; the raised center being 20 feet
wide, with side tracks each of the width
of 20 feet. In some roads the raised
center was paved. while the side tracks
were dressed with gravel and cement.
The viae privatae and the feeders of
the military roads were usually dirt
roads. They were much narrower than
the military roads; sometimes they had
n width Of only ten feet, and, indeed,
the feeders of the Via Appia were only
two feet wide, but paved. The width Of
the Roman roads, all told, varied, there
fore, from two to 100 feet.-N. Y. In

MAKE IT AN ISSUE.
The Had Roads Question In Township an

The Had Roads Question In Township and
County Politics.
Discussing ths-bad roads question in
the light of local campaign issue, the
Los Angeles (Cal.) Times makes the
pertinent question::
"By way of a starter in this matter,
how would 1t do this fall to make can
didates for supervisors take a cast-iron
pledge to favor comprehensive system
OF road improvement that will put an
end to the present extrnvagant method
of tinkering roads, and give us the be-
ginning of a first-class system of pub
lie highways? Our present method, or
rather lack of method, of constructing
roads is extravagant and ridiculous, and
would have excited the derision of those
early road builders 1000 years or more
ago, whose work still remains in good
preservation on the continent of Eu-
rope. The American idea of country
road appears to be to level off the soil,
and wherever there Is hole filling 1t
with loose dirt-and then filling 1t
again. It needs Us much science to con-
struct first-class road that will last as
1t does to put up building, yet it ia
taken for granted that the first man you
meet on the street can build road.
Consequently it Is no wonder that the
roads of this country cost every five
years almost as much as the courthouse,
and then we have nothing to show tar
It."

cHILDREN.s BIRTHDAYS.
Pretty Customs That Bring JOY to the
Little Ones.

Pretty Customs That Bring JOY to the
Little Ones.
Grown people do not always appre-
ciate what an event a birthday is In q
child's life. Next to Christmas II In the
red letter day of the year. A whole year
nearer mans OF woman's estate means
great deal TO a child, and fills the boy
or girl with an added dignity and sense
OF Importance. Seven Is 80 very much
older than six!
In some households this perfectly
natura! delight is increased by the
hearty sympathy Of the parents. But
there are other homes in which the all
important day passes unnoticed save
by careless mention, mere reminder
to the child that he has begun another
year, and this remark may possibly be
seasoned with the bitter sauce Of sug-
gestion to an improvement In conduct.
Not long since my heart was moved to
pity by talking to clever little boy,
who told me that he was eight years old
on that day.
sand what presents have you re-
ceived?" asked.
He looked surprised.
'Oh, we don't keep birthdays at our
housed" he replied. my mother says
It's foolish. Then she forgot that am
eight to-day until breakfast time this
morning"
The more fortunate six-year-old at my
side interrupted before l could check
him.
Forgot" he exclaimed. "Why, my
birthday came little while ago, and my
mamma made me a cake with six can
dies on 1t, and had presents and lots
of funl"
Childhood In so brief, and the time
when each recurring birthday is not q
Joy comes so soon that it is pity not to
make the anniversaries joyous to the
little ones.
Mamma" said one rapturous child,
'you must be very glad was born, be-
cause you have given me such beauti-
full birthday"
Of course mamma" was glad, and be-
Ing glad, why not show It? A child Is
never spoiled by the consciousness Of q
mothers love and delight in his exist
ence.
A pretty custom Is in vogue in some
families. The child whose birthday is
celebrated gives to each brother and Sis
ter some little token. 1t may be only
on inexpensive toy, but 1t inculcates in
the doner's heart the spirit of unselfish-
ness, and teaches him the Joy of giving
as well as that of receiving.-Harper's
Bazaar.

just after the fruit has been gathered is
the time to commence tipping" your
plants. Cultivate the soil very finely
and dig little holes two to three inches
deep, and bend the tip ends Of the canes
into them perpendicularly, not slant
ingly, and cover with dirt to hold them
in place. (See Fig. 2.) BY following
this method attentively II is possible
to make above a hundred plants from n
vigorous plant in a season.

Ing up. 1t is quite IN item to the farmer
and fruit grower to understand propa-

plant of a rare variety and increase 1t

a start very cheaply, even II they do

PROFITS OF DAIRYINo.

Y Why Butter Makers Should study the
Tastes of Their Customers.
The pleasant feature about dairying
Is the profit. If the profit is not found,
there is no pleasure in the work. This
is general law, but it applies with n
special force to dairying, because profit
able dairying is fine art, and success
Is won by strict attention to business.
The man who looks upon COW rs a
necessary evil, can never be decided
success as dairyman, any more than a
slovenly farmer can make a success at
farming. The price received for butter
depends chiefly upon the taste of the
consumer. The intelligent butter maker
studies the tastes of these people who
are willing to pay well for what suits
them, and then he learns how to make
that kind of butter. 1t Is the only way
he can get their money. 1t is not the
expense of manufacture that fixes the
price, says a writer. The consumer
cares not that the butter perhaps cost
untold labor on the part Of some one
who churned and prepared it for mar
ket. II inferior, II sells for an inferior
price, regardless of the cost of produc-
ton, and II 1t is superior, 1t sells at top
prices, though made with ease and little
expense. And the beauty remains that
The cost of producing the best butter
need not be greater than that of pro-
aucing goods of a poorer quality; in
iact the bad article is generally made at
the greatest cost. Ignorance is expen-
hve. 1 think II will make every one
who owns cows better dairyman to sit
down and compare the prices of dairy
goods with other farm products. Ifyour
cheap grains can be converted into 20
and 25-cent butter and 10-cent cheese or
VI to s1.15 per 100 for milk, It will pay
= better than selling the raw material
and robbing the farm of oil the fer
niizing material that much of the land
/" already in need of.-Farmers' Voice.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS
Always strain the milk as soon as

Always strain the milk as soon as II
Is drawn.
Churning ut too high temperature,
or too long, will produce greasy butter,
in which the grain is injured.
It is the attention paid to seemingly
insignificant things in dairying that
make or mar the profits.
Large cows need more feed than
smaller ones, and COW in the flush of
milk needs more than when dry.
II you fear notifies in butter never
ship it until II has been tested. Work
out the streaks IL any are in It,
It is essential In dairying that the
food of the cows be uniform, and the
supply should be arranged to have 1t
so.-Rural World.

enriched the year previously with all
the manure that can be mixed thereon.
The plant then set, work the soil about
It frequently, but not deep. Remove
all the runners that appear at first AS
the plant gains strength, permit the
runners to remain, and draw them out
in all directions from the parent plant,
LAYING a small stone over each where
the leaves appear. (See Fig. ~ When
rooted, separate them, set them from
four to six feet apart each way, and
