THE HOUSEHOLD.
Dainty Draperies and Upholstery For
Summer = Blackberry Wine - To
Make Watermelon Ice.

There Is no longer any excuse for the
discomforts arising from the use O.
wooden draperies and upholstery dur
ing the summer months. The shops are
full of cotton materials which furnish
hangings and coverings pleasing to the
eye and at the same time delightfully."-
cool IN effect. In calling attention to
this seasons summer hangings Decora-
tor and Furnishe gives the following
information:
There are charming cretonnes in
small striped plans whose ornamental
tions are rosebuds, buttercups, violets
and other small blossoms; india silks
of good conventional designs in blend
ing of all colors; jute affairs that are in
old English heraldic patterns; charm
ingly thin cream swisses in which an
empire wreath or big dot in an apple
green toae forms for tsse scheme de-
lightful plan. Summer hangings nat
urally should not be heavy, but make
for any room cool effect. Fellows par
ticularly as we'll as blues are decidedly
attractive for these places when a coun-
try house is in question.
This season there is cotton hanging
in the bayadere stripe. The ground
work is delicate tone of sulphur color.
For border there are mum Der of silk
en- stripes an inch wide of rich golden
browns and finished by cord of a
darker brown. These stripes are cIus-
tered together at the bottom of the hang
ing, but graduated far apart as they
reach the top. The entire drapery is
prettily finished by one ball cotton
fringe in all the various tones shown in
the stripes. For a living room out of
town they are very suitable and make
an artistic appearance, especially when
poled with artistic gilt silver ends.
For sash curtains there are endless
patterns in swiss, madras and the like.
AS an excellent pattern there are dots
of all sizes, the most refreshing in cool
effects being blues and yellows of good
round size, which when hung show a
stylish appearance. They can be fas-
tened to the lower sash by an adjust
able extension rod with a rubber tip
and easily removed at will.
New designs and colorings are out in
the old favorite denim. There are spe-
cial light tones in blue clearer in char
acter than formerly, and an applique
work given as a side border in white.
These ornamental affairs are in flowers,
bowknots, running vines, and the like,
and when hung are charming, accord
ing to the authority here quoted.

. The Veranda.

The veranda with it's summer furnish
ings has become in many homes the
''outdoor drawing room.'' Visitors lose
all desire to penetrate farther into the
house. Hammocks and chairs offer rest
and comfort for the weary. The useful
ness of such veranda, says The Puri-
tan, does not end with the setting of the
sun. With many persons this has be-
come fayorite spot for serving supper.
In warm weather there is nothing more
destructive of appetite than the odor of
hot food, and meals in the open air are
enjoyable on this account. Then, too,
the lovers Of tobacco may smoke on the
veranda without annoying any disciple
Of little Robert Reed
Another use of a large, roomy veran-
da with we'll laid flooring is found in
its conversion into an open air ball
room. Hung with Chinese lanterns,
with cozy little tete-a-tetes arranged in
the corners, and with good music, it
makes mo~s picturesque and pleasant
place for a dance. Even OH a sultry
night there is not the feeling of stuffy
oppression inseparable from chop"
held indoors on a summer evening.

Steamed CLAIMS.

Use soft shelled CLAIMS. Pour boiling
water into large covered saucepan in
which has been placed brick or other
similar foundation. Place the CLAIMS in
smaller dish and set this on the brick
in the pan, letting the water come up
around it. Cover the saucepan and cook
some seven minutes While the fish is
steaming prepare the following sauce:
One teaspoonful of chopped onion, two
tablespoonful of melted butter, one
half lemon (juice), salt and pepper. Lay
a napkin upon a hot platter and place
the CLANS in their shells on this. Cover
with a second napkin and serve. In
eating remove the clam from the shell
and dip it in the sauce.

Blackberry Wine.

Heat the blackberries or dewberries,
which are even better, and mash and
strain them, extracting all the juice To
gallon of juice add quart of water,
and to every gallon of the mixture add
80 pounds of sugar. Let the whole
stand IL hours, then put it in clean
stone jar, with half an ounce of cream
tartar and a gill of brandy to every
gallon. Let it ferment as long as it
will, simply covering the jar loosely. Tt
may take three months. At the end of
this time, Or when it seems to have
stopped fermenting, add another gill of
brandy and bottle the wine 1t will be
ready to use in six months, but will be
better if kept longer.

A clergyman, with view to intro
ducing more hymn-boo into the
church, left the clerk a notice to give
out after the sermon. The clerk had
also notice to give out with refer
ence to the baptism of infants.
At the close of the sermon the clerk
arose and announced: "Al those
who have children whom they wish
to have baptized, please send their
names at once to the clerk of the
church."
The clergyman, who was deaf, as
sumed that the clerk was giving out
the hymnbook notice, and ilnmedi-
ately arose and said: ''And l should
say, for the benefit of those who have
not any, that they may be obtained
at the vestry any day, from three to
four O'Clock; the ordinary little ones
for twenty five cents each; special
ones with red backs, ten cents adj

FARM NOTES.

If the sheep on the farm must be
sold, sell them fat.
Changing pasturage maintains bet
ter thrift.
Don't let the sprouts grow around
the trees.
Cultivate thoroughly whether the
weeds grow Or not.
A supply of salt should be kept
where the stock can help themselves
It is mistaken economy not to feed
young, growing pigs well.
Always take the wife's advice about
making the garden, but don't let her
do the hard work.
The more rapidly an animal is fat
tened the less quantity of food is
needed to maintain vitality.
Trees should not be trimmed with
an AK; "a fine saw makes a smooth
cut which heals over quickly.
1t is essential for the farmer to
know the needs of his land in order
that he may properly feed it.
A thrifty fruit tree is like an ami
NAL; it requires good feeding if it
makes a vigorous, steady growth.
If young tree is leaned by the
wind, get it back in line at once, for
never again will it be SO easily done.
Stake, if necessary.
IF one intends to establish a dairy
which shall grow better and better
constantly, the only way to proceed
is to breed and raise his own animals.
There is yet call for Improvement
in our common sheep. What we want
to do is to feed. We starve our sheep
and consumers complain of the NUT
ton.
In the work of cultivation, remem-
Der that sunlight and the air utilize
the organic matter of the soil into
plant food. Therefore the Importance
of stirring TIE soil.
It costs no more to ship $40 worth
Of cotton to Europe than it does a
dollars worth OF grain; and as we i'm
prove our herds and our facilities the
interest in our products will grow.
Australian fruit growers dig bitches
about their trees and pour in solu
ton of sulphate of iron in great guam
titles, covering it with earth.

The longest railroad bridge in the
world is that recently completed at
the Danube and thus shortens the
railroad journy from London to Con-
stantinople about sixteen hours. The
length of this structure is Is, 425 feet,
or good two miles and half. There
is one span, in the middle of the
river, $40 feet long, and four more
each having length of 445. The
other spans are still shorter. The
chief rivals of this structure are the
Tay bridge, in Scotland and the Mis-
sissippi bridge, at Cairo. The length
of the former is 1925 feet and that
of the latter is 0,70O feet.

New York can not boast. 1t bears no
marks of wear, of use, of crime, of
assion, of poverty; it is city with
but slums and without noise. 1t con-
rains one church for every eight
hundred inhabitants-a greater per-
centage than any other city in the
World. Toronto is the center COM
merciaIly, religiously and education
