The Garned center is so simple that
any Cne who can darn stockings will do
it without direction. The larger rings

cotton is used for sewing down the braid,
and the worker must dip the spool i'll

on black.
The first lace shown is very simple,

LARGEST LENS IN THE WORLD.

Dimensions of tho Big Glass for the
Yerkes Telescope.
The lens for the great telescope for
the new observatory at Lake Geneva,
Wis, the finest and largest telescope
lens in the world, has been completed
after two and a half years labor, and
now lies at the workshop of Prof.
Alvin Clark, in Cambridge, Mass
awaiting the orders of the Chicago
university authorities. It's focal dis
tance is 6l feet, the extreme diameter
of the clear aperture is 41sS inches.
The crown is about three inches thick
at the middle, and ~ inches thick al
the outer edges, and weighs 2o5 pounds.
The flint weighs 80 pounds. The lens
and its iron ring and cell weigh about
1000 pounds. The cost of the glast
plates in Paris was $40, 900, and the en
tire cost of the lens is estimated tc
have been 100000. For it's journey
west it will be wrapped in flannel ant
bedded in curled hair in box mounted
on springs and packed with excelsior
in a large box. 1t will ride in the cen
ter of a parlor car, and will be accom-
panied by four men.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE MODERN FARMER.
Ills Lot Is Not as Hard as Was That o
His Grandfather.

Ills Lot Is Not as Hard as Was That OF
His Grandfather.
Most young men in choosing life
business would rather select an occupa-
ton which requires only little phys
ical effort. That is one reason why
young men from the country over
crowd the cities. For a clerkship which
enables them to wear fine clothes and
zee the glare of city life they leave
good home and more comforts than
they can possibly compass by the
meager salary for which they work;
provided, always, that they are so for
tunate as to secure a situation.
On looking at the variety and perfec-
ton of labor-saving farm machinery
it seems to me only about half needs to
be done by hard hand labor which was
necessary 25 or 30 years ago. To per-
son who can appreciate, and therefore
value and admire, all the various plows,
harrows, potato diggers, threshing ma
chimes, with a band-cutter and feeding
attachments, or tanning mill, which
separates oats from spring wheat; a
self-binding reaper, strawstacker, a
hay tedder, hay loader and pitcher
and the thousand and one labor-saving
machines; including corn planters and
corn cultivators, seeders of all sorts for
wheat, oats, grass and fiaXseed, ETC., 1t
would seem that but little hard work
was left to be done by hand. Old
men from other walks of life on seeing
all these implements are heard to ex-
claim: "Oh! that were young man
now, with so or 100 acres of land; how
I would like to farm it! tell you my
tools would not rot out in the fields
where last used; my granary and cribs
should show even last years grains and
corn; my barn and stacks should burst
out with hay, fodder and comfort for
my family and live stock. The best
raised would not be too good for u.s.

Treatment of the Bodice.

She is an unwise woman who hangs
up her jacket by loop at the back of
the neck. 1t makes the coat sag where
the strain comes, and it gives it a
dragged and droopy appearance. If
loops are used at all they should be at
the armholes, and so put on as to stand
upright, and are not stretched across
an inch or so of space. This obviates
the pulling at the cloth. But the best
way to keep coat fresh and in good
shape is to keep it, when not in active
service, ON a wooden hanger.

WOMAN AND HOME.
TO HELP EX-ooNWoTs.
MRS. BanipgtOn Booth's Novel Plan to AS

Mrs. BalliDgton Booths Novel Plan to AS
Bist Released Prisoners.
Mrs. Ballington Booth has new
scheme to help ex-convicts.
The finger of scorn is no longer to be
pointed at them. Men who have been in
Sing Sing prison and who desire to live
good and upright lives will in future
have a chance to do so. They will have
chance to start life all over again.
Mrs. Ballington Booth proposes TO
welcome such convicts right at the gate
of Sing Sing prison. She will offer them
home, friends and employment.
The first thing necessary for carry
ing out this plan was means of trans
portation for released convicts from
Sing Sing to the Volunteers place of
refuge. She will have a steam launch
in commission as soon as the purchase
money has been secured. The boat will
be called the Omer Sage, in honor of
Warden Sage, and will be manned by
ex-convicts. A pretty Volunteer lassie
will be in command. The captain that
has been selected is an expert sailor, and
with her at the wheel, the little vessel
filled with earnest Volunteers and hap
DIV eX-prisoners, will soon be seen dart
ing over the neighboring waters on its
mission of mercy and succor.
Among the Volunteers the men who
are earnestly trying to live down their
past will be given every opportunity not
only to help themselves, but also to help
Others of their class. Mrs. Booth be-
lieves that men who have been prison
mates must have more or less feeling for
each other, and that the influence of
men who have for some time been free
in their treatment of recently dis
charged convict can only be for good
Another reason for using launch to
receive the men, instead of allowing
them to leave Sing Sing by train is that
they may avoid all possible chance of
recognition. Then, again, the sail down
the Hudson river is trip likely to be
impressive by the grandeur of the
scenery. In the estimation of Mrs.
Booth, if ever man can be in position
to appreciate such scenes, and so open
the way for serious thought of the past
and future, it is just after leaving the
tomblike cells of Sing Sing and sailing,
n free man once more, down the grand
est river in America.
On leaving Sing Sing the vessel will
set out for Hope Hail." which is the
name selected for the commodious home
over which Mrs. Booth has supervision.

Those who are not in good health, ow-
ing to confinement and prison fare, or
from whatever cause, will be given en-
ployment at this sylvan retreat near the
banks of the Hudson.
"In thinking of the hopelessness of
the future of the great army of dis
charged criminals who walk out of
prison gates every year, branded as enc
mics to society and law, believe / have
at last conceived plan," said Mrs.
Booth, "by which / hope to in great
measure remove the ban from this class
of unfortunates. Many a man on his
return to freedom means honestly to
try and redeem his evil life, to be, in
short, a man. But how to go about it?
What can he do with the stain of prison
bars upon him. to earn an honest living?
Who will employ man whom the law
has caused to be confined because he is
menace to the lives and property of
his fellow-men?"
Mrs. Booth has made an arrangement
with Warden Sage by which her repre-
sentatives shall be informed of the ex-
act time of the departure of prisoners.
A truck farm is to be a feature of
Hope Hall, and in out-of-door work men
who have so long been shut in by stone
walls and iron bars will undergo phys
ical and mental rehabilitation. In this
way those who are experienced in the
handling of vessels and those who show
aptitude for farming and gardening
will be given permanent employment
on the launch and about the grounds
of the hall, should they desire it.
"We confidently hope" said Mrs.
Booth to New York Journal reporter,
"that the feeling of self-reliance which
congenial toll will inspire in these out
casts will serve to arouse their self-re-
spect and restrain them from ever fall5
ing back into their old vicious ways.
Instead of being subjected to humili7
ating suspicion on THEFT return to free
dom, these men will find with us COM
Portable home, in which they will be
surrounded by elevating influences"

LETTUCE FOR SOUPS.
1t Is Much Better Than the Average
Housewife Thinks.

1t Is Much Better Than the Average
Housewife Thinks.
Lettuce, according to Twentieth Cen
tury Cookery, forms much better soup
ingredient than the average American
housewife imagines. 1t also makes an
excellent vegetable, especially the large
headed and coarse-leaved varieties,
which are now both plentiful and
cheap.
Wash the leaves free from grit, break
them into pieces, put into frying pan
tablespoonful of beef dripping; when
hot, add tablespoonful of chopped
onion; let it color slightly; then put
into the pan as much of the torn-up
lettuce as it will hold; add no water;
cover and stir the pan to prevent burn
ing; the heat will cause the lettuce to
eNude moisture. Season with salt and
pepper When the lettuce has boiled,
or rather steamed down, and looks
cooked-which will be in IS or 20 min
utes-turn it into two quarts of soup
stock. Simmer Is minutes longer, and
serve with croutons or toasted bread
dice.
Or, instead of soup stock, add two
tablespoonfuls of liquid extract of beef
to two quarts Of water.
If you have it handy a tablespoonful
of chopped cold chicken may be added
to each quart of soup.

eted. 1t is easy to make an attractive
watering place, for one can call in the
aid of vines and shrubs. A simple plan
is shown in the illustration. A hogs
head contains the water that is brought
TO it by pipe. The sides and top are
boxed in, and roof carried up over the
whole. Over this, vines are trained I'M
til the little building is fairly hidden by
them. 1t may be thought that this IS
considerable trouble to take for Il water

the beauty of roadside enhances the
value of the property adjacent to it,
and increases the respect of travellers
for those who live adjacent. Weil-con-

marked guide-posts indicate the vicin-
ity of cultured, thrifty, up-to-date res

How to Keep the Eyes Bright.

Never rub your eyes nor allow your
children to do so from their cradles.
Wells are bad for the sight, especially
those spotted or covered with pat
tern; so eschew wells when you can, or
wear the softest, clearcst net when
obliged to do so. Never read in bed or
when lying on a sofa. Sit with your
back to the light when engaged in
reading or working. Pale blues or
greens are the most restful wall papers
for the eyes, whereas red is exceed
ingly fatiguing. Do not read, write or
work longer than two hours together
without resting your eyes and closing
them fully five minutes.-Home Queen.

angular shades and are we'll fitted for
small tables standing in corners Of
rooms.
For a shade for the drawing-room
yellow silk and lisse are suggested, bor-
dered with small stars and crescents of
black velvet. Buy or have made frame
to suit your fancy. A four-sided Ian
tern is the easiest to cover, and some ad-
mire most those that decrease in size
toward the bottom. Cover very
smoothly all the four sides with yell
low sillt-a thin make of silk. You can
decorate the gauze at home by cutting
out black velvet lozenges and cumming
them on to net foundation. Cut some
yellow lisse or fine silk muslin into
strips, one wide strip for the top of
the lantern and narrow ones for the
ruches. Cut out one edge of the wide
strip into plain round scallops. Out
line these with lozenges of black velvet
graduated in size, or they may all be
of equal dimensions. Three-eighths of
an inch is good size. Gum these firm
ly to the material, then powder the re-
mainder of it with small crescents,
stars and lozenges. These should not
be used too freely or the effect will
be heavy. Scallop the narrow strips on
both sides and outline with small
lozenges. Quite a thin make of velvet
should be chosen for this purpose.
Cover the top of the lantern with silk,
and over this gather on the lisse rather
scantily, draw it in tightly at the collar,
leaving the wide frill with it's seal
loped edge outstanding. Down each
perpendicular wire of the frame carry
full ruching of lisse, add a ruche
around the top of the panels and ar
other at the bottom. This completes
the shade.-Chicago Chronicle.

The Time to Repair Highway Is When

Most everyone has heard of the man
who gave it out that he always took
q bath every year whether he needed
it or not. A great many roads are

year they are given what is known
as fixing up" and the rest of the time
they must shift for themselves. AS a
consequence they "shift" from one side
to the other, just as the lay of the land
and the lack of proper drainage may
demand.
And, be it remembered, there is some
times piece of road that nature has
kindly cared for-which really does not
require fixing. Often this is plowed up,
along with defective sections, and is
made soft and susceptible to ruts and
washouts. 1t is also then in a good
condition to produce the largest guam
tity of dust.

do not have to be repaired. They are
fixed before they need repairing-in
the sense of being partly rebuilt,

to repair a road is when it needs it

When the Jelly has begun to thicllen,
