Embroidery Notes.

A pretty bureau scarf is easily
made with three ladies' linen hand
kerchiefs as foundation. These, ar
ranged in a row, are held together by
lace insertion, which also extends en-
tirely around their united length and
width, lace being added to the inser-
ton for a finish. This scarf embroid
cred in the colors of his alma mater,
with the initials of some college stu
dent, and spread over a silk or sateen
cover of college color, lis both effec
tive and durable for campus rooms.
In selecting the handkerchiefs, while
the edges should be plain, ito hold tne
insertion, pretty effect is got from
those that have a vine of embroidery
running round inside of the hem. In
making the colored silk undercovers
for a bureau, it is usual nowadays to
give them pad effect by an interlin-
ing of sheet wadding holding a little
powdered orris root or other. sachet
powder. A pinked silk ruffle finishes
them and shows prettily through the
thin scarf.
Sweet peas worked in pale pink,
lavender, white, or even a uit of deep
purple are effective in embroidery. If
the petals are done in solid embroid
cry, work them from the outer edge
down to the center, deepening the
color toward the base of the petal,
which, however, should be tipped
with the palest shade Of green, almost
white, as is the case in the natural
blossom. The curling, swaying tendrils
should also be done in very light
green. The leaves may be done in
long and short stitch, with about as
good effect as if solid, for they are
small and will be nearly filled in this
simple way, while the solid blossoms
will stand out from the setting of
green more prominently.

virtually only halves the quantity,
cakes to bake. Beat five egg yoll1s till
very light, and then, adding one cup
of graduated sugar, continue beat
ing until the mixture is of the very
paleSt straw color. Stir in little by
little, and very lig'htly, one cup of
sifted flour and five egg-whites stiff
and dry. Add one tablespoonful of
lemon juice and bake. This, and this
only, deserves the title, and it is a
good one, of old fashioned sponge
cake.

Practical Housekeeping.

We often find that the pantry, like
many other places about a home, is
inconvenient from a sheer absence Of
thought and care. Here the old rule
of "a place for everything" us Of es-
pecial Importance because there are
so many things. Here also it is i'm
portant, in further compliance with
the old maxim, that "everything'' be
kept Gin it's place." But much de-
ponds upon the place chosen for each
article. Whatever is in constant use
must be most ready to hand. 1t is sur
prising how many people reach daily
to high shelf for what should be
much nearer So far as possible, pans
and dishes of the same size should
stand alone, several kinds should not
be piled upon one another. No matter
what is wanted in the kitchen, it is
nearly always desired at a hurry time,
when it is trying to move number OF
things to obtain one which may be
underneath.
Bread and cakes, if kept i'm this
room, should have their own covered
receiver, which will preserve from
dryness and dust alike. And this re-

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Our Children.

The children of today are born
into a world of advantages. Never
before was it so easy to travel, to get
an education, to know what is going
on in the world, to send messages and
to perform the ordinary tasks of life.
Invention and progress have made
abundant almost everything that sat
isfies want or appeals ITO taste. But
day has greater advantages and
greater fitness for getting on in the
world than the genera tions of the
past, the answer is not so easy. The
fierce competitions in business and
i'm all callings make life a serious
struggle, and it may be a question
whether the principles commonly APP
piled in the training of children give
them the best preparation for this
conflict.
The prevailing idea of the time is
to make everything as pleasant as
pie seems almost mquestionable. 1t
would seem little short of barbarous
to do otherwise. But some good
things are spoiled by OVERRIDING, and
it may be that we are OVERRIDING the
attempt to make everything easy for
and agreeable to the rising genera
ton. x y X In the home, in school
and church our whole study may be
to please the child and make the way
easy. But when the household pet
passes into the business world, the
way is not made easy. Grim difficult
ties confront 1T on every hand, and
nothing but pluck, patience and per-
severance will overcome them. But
the child which has always been en-
tertained and helped along an easy
way, is not likely ITO possess these i'm
portant qualities. The result is inn
patience, reStlessness and all that fret
and fever and violence of theory
which SO mark the time There is no
surer method of making anarchists
than to pet and pamper the rising
genera tion until it reaches the age
where it must take care of ITSELF

and drying to keep it sweet and pure.
An airing in the open air and sum
light is a good finishing for such a
cleansing.
One of the most convenient bins for
flour when closed looks like one of
the square doors in the pantry. 1t is
so adjusted that the knob and ''catch''
are at the top and it opens downward
from the top. The interior is wedge
shaped, it's wooden sides thus grad
ually diminishing in size toward the
bottom. In good working order, such
a flour bin is boon; and when the
quantity of flour grows less with use
the decreasing size of the bin admir-
ably suits it's contents.
When dishes have place in the pan
try it is very nice to have them fill the
side next the dining room wall. This
china closet portion may then have
doors opening into the dining room
and thus be equally accessible from
dining room or kitchen.
Careful housewives will keep all
pantry doors closed as much as posi-
BILE, thus shutting out dust from the
work room.
Platters of sizes not frequently
used may be stood upright on the
shelves on one side of the pantry
against the wall if strip of wood is
nailed along the shelf near the wall,
allowing just enough incline of the
platters to prevent their falling.
Other things may be upon the shelves
in front of these upright dishes, yet
they may always be easily taken
down and form often an ornamental
background for other things. In the
china closet in the dining room,
where the finest china is kept, choice
plates may thus be ranged at the
backs of the shelves.
In the pantry a case Of drawers for
minor articles which collect and are
needful and a closet with closing
doors for cold and broken food will
complete a satisfactory pantry.
The farther shelved side may hold
the common work dishes used about
the cookery, and, unless there is an
other pantry, space must be allowed
for kettles, skillets, etc. 1t is better
when these utensils have plenty Of
room in little closed offset of their
own very close to the cooking stove.
Tasteful coverings for the shelves,
neatness and care in all it's appoint
ments will make the pantry almost a
thing of beauty and of joy.-Mrs. Il.

the scope of the Rulc-Adjourn
to Meet Next Year Mt
KANSAS City.

DUBUQUE, Ia, June 4.-Today's session
of the Modern Woodmcn was devoted to the
consideration OF the laws OF the order. The
most important action was the decision to pay
suicide claims If death does not occur earlier
than three years after date of certificate.
1t was ordered that no action be taken
toward the removal of the headquarters
earlier than June 20; also that a special
meeting may be called at any time at the
request of the executive council. This IL
understood to mean that further legal trouble
is expected from the Fulton people on the
removal Of the headquarters. The camp
refused to appropriate $4,000 for the Wood
men building at the Omaha Exposition. The
next head camp was fixed for the first Tues
day in June, 1899, at Kansas City.
The COMMITTEES reported in favor OF copy
writing the new ritual and emitting tests
that might result in injury to the candi-
dates. The second Wednesday of February
in odd-numbered years was fixed as the date
for state camps.
The afternoon was consumed In the con-
sideration of the law committees report. The
recommendation for county conventions was
referred back to the committee.
The consideration of laws was completed
at the night session. Officers were installed
and tho head camp adjourned.

Fire Record for n DIV.

DENVER, June 4.-The fire this morning
in the Thomas & Patterson block, for which
a general alarm was turned in, was extin-
guished with a loss of only about $40, 900.
Assistant Fire Chief Frewsen- seriously in

CLAY CENTER, Neb., June ESPECIALLY
Last evening a large stack of hay in the
rear of A. B. Perkins residence was dis
covered to be on fire. 1t was a calm evening
and the barns and sheds escaped, although
they were very near the haystack. The fire
Is supposed to have been caused by the chill
dren carrying live embers from a fire that
was lighted early in the evening to burn
rubbish. The hay was entirely consumed.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan, June 4.-Fire
broke out In the state prison about 9 O'Clock
and soon all the men held within the walls
were in an uproar. The fire seemed to be
spreading rapidly in the tailoring establish
ment and the chapel and the imprisoned men
cried and begged Of their keepers to be re-
leased. Finally the flames became so threat
ening that fifty c%onvicts, all of them TRUSTEES,
were released to assist the officers in their
struggle with the fire. There was no break
for liberty, but the men performed their duty
heroically and the fire was ultimately
quenched after a damage of about 5000 had
been done.

ESCAPED FROM AN IOWA MON.

Three Winnebago Indians were found by
the police in the vicinity of the Northwestern
city depot last night tenderly caressing a
gallon jug filed with whisky. The Jug had
been passed from one to another in dlgnifea
silence for sometime, and after one of them
had held 1t to his lips for a long time and
the others had listened to the musical gurgle
their feelings overcame them and they
emitted In concert a series Of warwhoops that
startled the freight cars and attracted the
attention OF several police officers patrolling
adjoining streets. The officers visited the
locality and found the conditions to be alto
gether too favorable for trouble to be left
unaltered and they took possession Of the Jug
and led the redskins to the police station.
None of the officers felt inclined to place a
charge against the Indians and Captain
Maitby decided to LOCK up the jug and let the
owners seek accommodations at some of the
hotels. They left the station. but returned
within half an hour with the information that
they could not find a hotel keeper willing to
accommodate them, and at their request they
were locked up as dodgers. One of them only
could or would talk English, and he said they
had been giving testimony in a whisky case
In the federal court at Omaha. No amount
OF persuasive questioning could Induce them
TO tell where they bought the jug of whisky.
They would only vouchsafe the information
that they got II In a wholesale house in
Omaha and that somebody bought II for
them. They gave the names OF Green Rain
bow, Daniel Blackhawk and George Bear.
Mayor Carson happened to be at the station
when they were brought In and he issued an
order that the Jug OF whisky should be con
fiscated.

DECREASING BuRTu RATE.
The United states Following the Ex-
ample of France.

w
French economists are consoling them
selves for the gradual d.population OF their
country by pointing out that many OF the
American states. including the whole OF
New england, are still worse of. The birth
rate Ia France has fallen from thirty-three
per 1000 at the beginning OF the century to
twenty-five per 1000, and Is less than the
death rate, so that. II the present conditions
continue. In about 200 years the French
race will have become extinct. In many
states OF the United states, however, matters
are even more serious. The birth rate W
Nevada is 1880 per 1000. so that. even II
no more people should emigrate from that
state, its population would die out com
pletely in less than 100 years. Maine comes
next with a birth rate of 1893 per 1000,
which gives Its race about a century longer
to exist. New Hampshire is third, with
1S.4 per 1000. Vermont is fourth with SIS.
and, strange to say, California, which comes
next. has a birth rate Of 1914 per 1000, or
nearly IL per cent less than that Of France.
This fact, In view Of the favorable climate.
ample area and diversity Of interest and
employment characteristic Of the state, Is
most striking. Following California is Con-
n%ecticut, which has a birth rate OF Ella per
900. Massachusetts, has 2l.5. Rhode Island
has 22,5, a somewhat higher rate than the
French, but still insufficient to prevent the
extinction Of the present race within two
or three centuries. Wyoming, with It's Els,
comes between Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island, while Oregon has a rate OF 22.5. In
most of the states, even those which have
n low birth rate, the population is kept UP,
or increases, but the new blood comes from
immigration. The conclusion to be drawn
from the statistics compiled is simply that,
within a period varying from sixty to 200
years, according to circumstances, the Anglo
Saxon race Of inhabitants OF New England
and the Pacific coast will be replaced by
another.
