Muddy Umbrellas.

It often happens that umbrellas get
splashed with mud spots; even occasion
ally they fall into puddle and present
q forlorn appearance. It is best not to
touch this mud until it has quite dried,
for to rub it when wet only insures its
permanency in the fibers of the fabric,
The mud should be allowed to dry first,
with the umbrella wide open, then the
dust should be rubbed off with piece
of coarse flannel, and the spots sponged
with strong black tea or ammonia and
water. Umbrella silk should never be
brushed while wet, for it is liable to
stretch out Of shape.

feed required for one of the mammoth
breed.
Our illustration shows all three of
the breeds and their relative size when
full grown.
The medium Yorkshire breed has
been produced by persistent crossing to-
gether of the large and small families.
They are half way between the parent
breeds in size. All the Yorkshires are
white, and, like all white breeds of
swine, have occasional blue spots on
the skin These spots are especially
noted in the large and medium York
shires. Breeding the large Yorkshires
for pork is not profitable usually. They
are OF use to be crossed with the other
families. The females are prolific breed
ers and good mothers. Medium Yorks
are about as large as Berkshires, though
lighter in bone.
The small Yorkshire averages in size
when full grown from $50 to $40
pounds. The English, who prize roast
sucking pig more than we do, especial
~ value the small York for slaughter
ing when young. 1t is also more valued
for bacon than the larger families, but
1t does not breed quite SO politically as
they.

CARO- CUSHION.


in that standard and always useful ar
ticle the pincushion are those made
with playing cards. Fox these get a small
glazed rack of these yards, size about
two inches, and use two for each cush-
ion. The inside is made by covering two
pieces Of thin cardboard, cut to the ex-
act size of the playing cards, with thin
cambria or muslin. Sew these neatly
together and then stick the outer cards
on each side, using either fish glue or
white Of egg.
Mattress piucushions are now the
most distinctly popular OF the whole
tribe. They can be made in any materi-
ais, may be embellished with more or
less embroidery and are made in vari-
Gus sizes, oblong or square. A desirable
size would be by inches Having de-
cided on the size, the stuffing and lin
ing must be done, and for this get
coarse flannel, which must be cut care
fully and exactly to the size of the mat
tress. It takes several yards of flannel,
as it must be very firm and hard, and
when all pressed together should be
quite an inch thick. These layers must
be firmly sewed together, as the success
of these pincushions entirely depends
on their being firm and hard at top at
bottom and at the sides Another neces-
sity is the perfect regularity with which
they are cut, the edges generally re-
curing to be sheared with very sharp
scissors. 1t is possible to stuff the lin
ing with horsehair or bran instead Of
flannel, in which case the covering must
be made first; otherwise sew the flannel
into a case of cheap loose woven muslin,
through which the pins pass easily,
using tape an inch wide for the sides.

a farmer can afford to buy pure bred
boar, The Southern Stock Farm says:
Twenty five sows, properly handled,

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
by Internal Remedies.

The only way to cure piles in every
form is to use remedy like the Pyramid
Pile Cure which is applied directly to
the parts affected and it's wonderful
healing effects are felt on the first appli.
cation because the medical properties
are rapidly absorbed by the sensitive
membr 'nes Of the rectum and the cure
is speedily made, and almost before the
patient is aware Of it, every trace OF
piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been so successful. 1t is
applied directly where it is needed and
where 1t will do tho most good. Not by
the roundabout way OF the stomach nor
by the harsh, barbarous methods of
various surgical operations and so called
systems.
It's advantages over all other pile cures
are these: 1t cures without pain, the
cure is lasting, 1t contains no poison
and is the quickest and cheapest cure
yet found. II is made by the Pyramid
Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, and sold by
