ORNAMENTAL SPONGE BAG.
why the sponge bag should not present
an attractive appearance, for few en-
terprising women with delft fingers have
certainly afforde.. models very pleasing
to look upon. Following ia a description
of one of these models. which may be
modified to suit the convenience Of spe.
oial cases:
The bag under consideration is COM
posed of art serge, in this case q deep
shade Of beliotrope and embroidered in
fax threads in terra cottas and subdued
green's. Procure a quarter Of yard or
serge, 81 inches wide, which will ma Ike
two bags. For the lining buy the same
quantity of thin white macintosh of
rubber sheeting. fit is. SO inches wide,
it will make two; if 81 inches wide,
three bags. But do not buy any interme.
diate width, or it will cut to waste.
Cut your serge in two, fold one
piece in half and proceed to trace on it
the design you propose to work. As it
is useless to attempt ironing a pattern
On to serge, trace it on thin tissue paper,
pin it to the serge and tack along all
the lines with white cotton then tear
away the paper and you have your pat
tern clearly traced. with the advantage
that it will not rub of, while you can
easily remove any strokes which are IN
necessary. The embroidery should be
about all inch from the bottom Of the
bag. ~
When embroidered, place q net cloth
on the back of the work and press with
q hot iron. Sew up the bag on the
wrong side to the depth Of 819 inches,
rub the seam open, fold back the edges
Of the remaining portion and tack them
down with invisible stitches. Turn the
bag and next prepare the macintosh.
Fold it with the glazed side inward,
stitch each side CLOSELY to the same
depth as the serge bag, making it trihe
narrower; turn the edge over as if to
fell it, cut little off the under edge
and tack the other over it lightly for
about 2 inches.
Slip this bag without turning it) in.
to the serge one, hem it on to che sides,
turn your serge down just over the edge

CONVENIENT AND INEXPENSIVE.
ter of the yard at point which will be
the most sunny and pleasant possible. A
writer in the New York Tribune gives
an illustrated description Of a good rack.
He says:
A simple but effectual way in which
to build one of these feed racks is to be-
gin by setting four tall posts in tho
ground in the form of rectangle, az
shown in the cut Their height and dis
lance apart will determine the size and
capacity Of the rack. 1t is inadvisable,
however, to make it very wide-say not
over 6 feet-as some difficulty would be
experienced by the animals in pulling
out the hay if hound solidly in the CEN
ter. Set the posts leaning toward the
center in order to make the opening
wider at the bottom than at the top.
This will prevent binding. and in conse-
quence the hay will readily settle as it
ia being eaten away from below. From
about Is inches above ground to the top
Of the posts the sides and ends should be
boarded tightly, making it possible for
eAO " 6Ou a. tAlo Atsy why az VAO
bottom.
To make the yack complete, a manger
must be constructed entirely round the
upright part. This is best accomplished
by setting four short posts securely in
the ground opposite the corners, and
others between to give frmness to this
part, where pressure is brought to bear.
II the manger is made slanting and mar
row at the bottom, it will prevent ami
mails from getting in, as they are often
tempted to do in cold weather. Many
consider it good plan to cover such
rack with shed roof, thus always keep
ing the hay dry. This can be done with
very little expense. And, better yet, I
would advise having door at the front
Of it, hung on hinges, as represented in
the illustration, SO. that it could be let
down at will for the insertion Of the
hay. This would tend to keep the fodder
dry, for the most part, in any kind Of
weather.

.ELE cTORAL VOTE SCARE.

s &555, S siSSS Block lsEocsrdings. .t
CHICAGO, Feb. s. "A special from
Washington says: President. elect Nc
Kinley's right to his seat may not be
officially declared this week.
Complications have arisen which
may furnish dramatic interruption to
the counting of the electoral votes next
Il "Wednesday. .. ~
Representative George Washington
Murray, the only colored member Of
the house, who represents the Charles.
ton district, will be the chief actor in
the dramatic episode. &.ss
\ He has just returned from South
Carolina, where he was in consultation
with the leading Republicans Of the
Palmetto state. He is armed with a
petition, signed by thousands of Re.
publicans Of that state, protesting
against the counting of the electoral
vote, and asking for an investigation OF
the election laws and the state consti-
tuition. =" ~. 49, .s.:~
Protest Cannot He Ignored.
The claim is made that the election
laws and the state constitution upon
which they are based are not in accord
to the federal constitution. While the
dispute over the vote of South Carolina
cannot in any way affect the final re-
suit, the best authorities agree that the
petition cannot be ignored, and the in.
vestigation Of the precedents shows
that when such Il protest is entered the
count must Immediately stop until the
question is settled.
Whatever the immediate result Of
this attempt to discredit South Caro-.
lina's vote may be; there is no doubt
that the programme which is to be thus
dramatically inaugurated is part Of q
far reaching scheme on the part of
Southern Republicans to overthrow the
registration and election laws in vari.
Gus Southern states, where the negro
predominates, but his vote is not
factor-the purpose being to secure
either the Republican domination in
these Southern states or reduce the
Democratic representation in congress.

Items In Bookkeeping.

In some experiments carried out un-
der the direction of the Vermont Bee
keepers association II hives were
placed in room s by "a feet, capable
Of accommodating "a colonies. The
bees, having come from different SOURCES,
were in different sized frames, and for
this reason were observed closely to de-
termine the best form of frame to adopt
in the production of comb Or extracted
honey and for winrering bees. No per-
oeptible difference has yet been noticed.
After the onset Of frost sugar eirup
was fed in different ways to test the
ability of bees to change cane sugar into
honey sugar. Analyses are given Of the
honeys produced-pure honey and honey
that had been adulterated with cane sug-
or. It was found that the best honey
was produced when large quantity Of
strip was fed to the bees rapidly. The
resulting honey did not granulate.
When strip was fed in small Quantities
for considerable time, less suorose was
found on analysis, but the product gran
ulated. Stimulative feeding during the
upring was tried, but was interrupted,
and the results are inconclusive.
A nonswarming device was employed
with four colonies of bees, but proved a
failure so far a. preventing any desire
to swarm. Two strong colonies running
together with . nonswarmer produced
less comb honey than sirgle colonies
that were allowed to swarm at Will. r.
