Colors For Lamp Shades.

In the drawing room delicate colors
are most appropriate for lamp shades,
but there are one or two which should
be avoided, as they are apt to make the
light which has to filter through them
most un5ecoming and ungenerous to
the other colors of both dress and furni-
ture. Among such colors are salmon
pink, apple green and deep orange, but
delicate pink, dark green and yellow
may be used with impunity. In the din
ing room the shade should be of more
positive colors, such as red, terra Gotta,
dark green or dark blue, and very
usual shape is the one in the form of a
globe, with folds of the silk, or thin
material stretched from one band of
metal to another.

The provident and painstakine

The provident and painstaking
farmer has place for his implements
and he sees to it that they are housed
and properly cared for, when no long
er required in the cultivation of crops.
His improvident neighbor sometimes
leaves his implements where they are
used last or about the premises, with
out shelter Even the harvester or
moving machine is left in the field
long after it has been used, subject to
all kinds of weather and inevitable
injury. The cost of repairs is neces-
sarily increased under such neglect,
and the period when a new machine
will be necessary is much shortened.
The care of tools is an important fac
tor in farm economy, and word in
season may be serviceable to such as
are too remiss in this direction.

HAIRPLNS.

| Tt was not until 1878 that the manu-
facture Of hairpins began in the Unit
ed States. Previous to that time those
used in this country were brought
from England Or France. There are
now several large factories in the
United States that turn out an article
equal if not superior, to the best fin
ished foreign made pin. There is such
large one that $4,000 packages, each
containing from twelve to twenty
pins, to supply the wholesale demand
daily in New York alone The ma
chinery used is of delicate and in
tricate character. as the small prices
at which the pins are at present sold
necessitate the most rapid and cheap
est process, which can only be secured
by automatic machines The wire is
made expressly for the purpose, and
is put up in large coils, which are
placed on reels. The end of the wire
is put in clamp, which carries it to a
machine while Strengthening it, There
it is run through a machine which
cuts, binds and, by a delicate and in
Simultaneous process, sharpens the
pins. These machines will turn out
from three hundred to three hundred
and fifty hairpins every minute. To
economic it is often necessary to
keep them working night and day.
The most difficult part Of the work is
the enameling, which is done by dip
ping the pin in a preparation and
baking it in an oven. Here is where
the most constant and careful atten-
ton is required, as the pin must be
perfectly smooth and the enamel have
faEltless polish. The slightest par
ticles of dust cause imperfections and
roughness, which is Objectionable and
spoils the pin for the market

THE HOUSEHOLD.
improvements In Par1or Stovcs-Colors
For Lamp Shades-Tomato Catch
up-Grape Preserves.

The modern American self feeding
parlor stove, which also was originally
made cylindrical in form, is now al
most without exception made square
once upon its introduction, and it soon
came into wide USE It's utility was
everywhere recognized. 1t was not then,
however, so perfect in detail as it has
since been made. AS a writer in the
New York Sun explains, the magazine
was at first made larger than was real
ly necessary even for the purpose of
such stove. In a large size self feeder,
standing pretty high generally, the
opening into the magazine at the top
through which the coal was poured
was SO high that it became quite task
to lift a scuttle of coal up to it. This
was not SO much noticed at the very
outset, when people were more impress
ed by other features, but it speedily be-
came a consideration of Importance It
was said at the time that in feeding
some Of the stoves a stepladder was
needed 1t certainly did require con-
siderable degree of eXertion.
The ornamentation of the stove at
that time consisted of holdings and
bands and perhaps of wreaths il low
relief cast upon the upper part Of the
cylinder, Topped around the top, and
the stove was often surmounted with
an ornamental urn. All this made
handsome stove, as stoves went, but
it was felt that something better
might be produced in the way Of style
and finish and that it was practically
essential that something should be done
to lower the feed. These two requisites
to the highest development and greater
success of the self feeding parlor stove
were formulated in the phrase ''high art
and low feed" once familiar in the
trade. The demands were promptly
met.
To bring the feed lower the whole
stove was lowered wherever it could be
done, a trifie being taken here and there,
the CRATE was lowered a little, and the
magazine was reduced in size where
that could be done and still leave it of
ample size to meet essential require
ments The effect of these changes was
today, within convenient reach, and the
general lowering Of the structure of the
stove was in keeping also with the new
outward shape that was adopted-square
instead Of round, the fire pot, however,
remaining round.
At first in the ornamentation of stoves
of the new design tiles were used freely,
and some Of the parts of the stoves or
their trimmings were nickel plated.
Tiles are still used to considerable eX-
tent. Nickel plating is more freely used
than at first, and bronze is now used
also. While the stoves are in outline and
effect square it does not follow that
they are fiat sided. Some are recessed
some have swell sides. They are made in
various notifications of shape and in
a great variety of styles of finish as to
ornamentation i'll tiles and nickel plat
ing and in ! great variety of ornamen-
tai patterns reproduced in the cast
ings themselves. Many of these stoves
are tasteful as well as elaborate. The
authority quoted says i'll conclusion,
''High art and low feed are combined
in them -

OUR FARMERS.
PICKING AND PACKING POULTRY.

Keep chickens from food twenty
four hours; kill by bleeding in roof OF
mouth or veins of neck; hang by feet
until through bleeding; leave head and
feet on and do not draw crop or in
testines. For scalding all poultry
have water just below boiling. Don't
guess at temperature, use thermom-
eter. Pick legs and neck dry, hold
by head and legs and dip three times.
By avoiding scalding head and shanks
the fowls will present much better
appearance. Remove feathers and
pin feathers Immediately and thor
oughly, and be careful to avoid break
ing the skin. Plump by dipping them
ten seconds in water just under the
boiling point, then into cold wa
ter for ten minutes; hang in cool
place until the animal heat is entirely
out. This is very essential.
Kill turkeys the same as chickens;
but dry-pick while the turkey is
bleeding. Do not wait until the body
gets cold. Leave head and feet on;
do not draw crop or intestines, re-
move all the feathers from the wings.
So say the directions, but a profess
sional turkey dresser will leave those
short feathers on the tip end of wing,
and will also wash the mouths, beaks,
feet and shanks before packing.
In scalding ducks and geese more
time is required for the water to pen
citrate and loosen the feathers. Do
not try to dry pick just before killing,
as it gives the skin an unsightly ap-
pearance. Do not pick the feathers
off the head, and leave them on for
two or three inches down the neck.
Never SINCE the bodies for the pur-
pose of removing the down, as the
heat from the flame will give the skin
an oily appearance. After they are
picked clean they should be pumped
in scalding water like chickens.
To pack for shipment: Wrap heads
of turkeys and chickens with clean,
light brown paper, pack snugly in
boxes or barrels lined with clean pa
per. DOASO 1OO w AOO PONA1oO
are best for all fowls. Barrels are
better for chickens and ducks than
for turkeys and geese. Turkeys and
chickens show up best if the bodies
and shanks are Strengthened out, so
say the usual Instructions at hand,
but the finest dressed turkeys I ever
saw were packed in barrel, the
shanks doubled up or rather pressed
up toward the body, giving the fowl
squatting shape. This gives the
drumsticks and bodies a plump ap-
pearance. If possible put only one
kind and grade of fowl in package,
mark kind and weight plainly on COW
er, and secure package carefully to
to avoid breaking open in transit.
Dry picked poultry is best for ship
ping in warm or doubtful weather.
Frozen poultry will not command as
good a price as that which is not.
Old and heavy Tom turkeys should
be marketed before the holidays.

Ingenious Peruvian potteries.


a long, slim neck is Distinguishing
feature Of much of the Peruvian pot
terry, and nearly every vessel is orna-
mented with figure of some sort, hay
ing holes to represent eyes and other
openings. These afford a passage for the
air forced out by the liquid when pour
ed into the vessel. By an ingenious con-
trivancc the air in escaping produces a
sound similar to the cry Of the creature
represented Thus q utensil decorated
with two monkeys embracing each 9TH
er, on having water poured into or from
it, would give sound like the screech-
ing of those animals. One decorated
with bird would emit birdlike notes,
while mountain cat on one jar would
new; snakes coiled around another
would hiss. The most curious that we
have seen was the figure Of al aged
woman. When the jar was in use, her
sobs became audible, and tears trickled
down her cheeks. The manufacturers
seemed to have known all about atmos-
pheric pressure. DR.. LIE Plongeon had
in his own collection a piece that dem
onstrated this. 1t represented a dou-
BILE headed bird The vessel had to be
filed through hole in the bottom, and
yet in turning it over not drop would
spill, but the liquid would readily flow
out when the jar was simply inclined.

Anima, BcmaioS In CoaI.

Most people know that coal is full Of
vegetable remains, but comparatively
few are aware Of the fact that animal
and insect bodies by countless millions
also go to make up the great beds of
fuel that are now being SO extensively
drawn upon. TIE vegetable impressions
found in coal or in the shale just above
the vein are very beautiful as we'll as
numerous, not less than 1,500 different
kinds of plants having been noticed in
the carboniferous seams in the different
parts of the world. Some Of these plants
are very much like those now living,
but the majority CT them, even though
found IN Nova Scotia or Iceland, appear
to be representatives Of what are low
tropical varieties.
Many animal; and insects arc also
found fosGized and thoroughly pre-
served in the coal beds. These petriied
creatures Of the bygoue age called the
"coal period" are Of various kinds.
Huge toadlike reptiles with beautiful
teeth, small tree lizards, great fish with
tremendous jaws, tiny water mites,
srails, hundred legged" worms and
thousands Of insects Of the grasshopper
and dragon fy tribes are also found.
The curious fact is that there is not a
single representative Of these fossilized
creatures now iving.-St. Louis Re-

Saddleback Ledge Light.

This is one of the widest and bleak
est Of light stations of that savage re-
gion, and, according to story told
there, itwas once the scene Of remark
ably plucky adherence to duty on the
part Of a 15-year-old boy. He was the
son Of the keeper, and on this occasion
was left alone IL tie tower while his
father went ashore for provisions IN
their only boat Before the latter could
return violent storm arose, and for
the next three weeks there was no time
in which the keepers boat could have
lived for q moment in the wild seas that
ragged about the lo1ely rock. Still the
light was kept burning by that 15-year-
old boy, who had little to eat and but
scant time to sleep. Night after night
for three weeks its steady gleam shone
through the blackness of the pitiless
storm and gladdened the fathers strain
ing eyes. When the ordeal was ended,
the bog was so weak from exhaustion
as to be barely able to speak At the
same time there was no prouder father
nor happier young light keeper On the
Maine coast than those who met on the
storm swept ledge OF Saddleback that
day.-Kirk Munroe III Scribner's.
