In recent treatise on injurious in
sects the writer suggests simple mode
of clearing room of flies. They will
naturally be found at the windows,
where they are attracted by the light.
The lower sash should be drawn down
to shut closely, the upper lowered per-
haps foot from the top. Then pull
the shade down, and the flies, following
their natural instinct, crawl up the
glass to the top, and finding the open
ing fly out and eff. Afterwards closed
blinds or screens keep them out. The
book says further that house-fly does
not bite, but merely puts its proboscis
on men and animals to absorb the moist
ure of the skin. Biting may not be the
scientific word for the fiy's perform

In tents OF green our heroes sleep.
Their slumbers undisturbed and deep;
The flag triumphant waves
Where comrades pass with solemn tread.
Sweet bloom Of May again TO spread
Above our honored braves
All silent there. In calm repose,
They reck not friends. they fear not foes,
Their grounded arms are mute;
No drums reaoubling beat they hear.
No stern command. no victor's cheer,
or sentrs's quick salute.
In faded blue or faded gray.
The truce OF God Is theirs to-day,

Who won the Held with sure renown,
A starry nag. floral crown.

pretty New Designs for Table Gem


Linen embroidery is never out of sea-
son. There is no danger of the interest
tagging when so many new and beauti-
full designs are constantly being pre-
sented. Great care should he taken to
adhere strictly to one scheme of color
in each design. This is especially adj
yisable where green is used. III you use
the vivid greens your artistic eye must
be very exact, on the chances are that
the shades will conflict. IL is not al
ways best to copy nature with absolute
fidelity in reproducing foliage, as q
certain amount of latitude is always ad-
missible, and the discriminating worker
can use cold greens and produce more
artistic effect than the one who loses
sight of every other consideration in her
effort TO be realistic The artist, in
painting a picture, blends his colors for
foliage without employing much green,
and this is one of the lessons that
should be learned by those studying the
art of embroidery. Among the new de-
/ signs for table centers are pretty ones
of the square or parallelogram shapes,
which are as much used now as pieces of
circular form. One seen shows pret-
ty arrangement of lilies of the valley,

The ordination is of more than ordinary
interest, from the fact that the young
