WORKABLE NOTES.
Some Points About NeedIework of
Various IEinds-Crocheting
and Knitting.

There is a slight indication in the dis
lance of a revival of landscape embroid-
cry, but Of vastly superior sort to that
which obtained iii our great-grand-
mothers tine. The new stitchery will
be of the impressionist order, and not
show the pre-Raphaelite minuteness of
detail of other days.
The stitches that are used in this re-
vival are stem-stitch, running or darn
ing-stitch, and long and short-stitch,
and floselle The working material. The
coloring Of the sky will be given by the
material wrought upon, accentuated or
emphasized or paled by the coloring of
the filoselles employed. Art linens of
soft colors make the best ground to
work on.
j high authority on needlework says
that the secret of successfully applying
linen on linen is to fasten the laid piece
with very bold buttonhole stitches that
reach far into the leaf or petal, some
times carrying short stitch across a
long one. After the linen is cut away, a
row of stem stitch the color of the but
tonholing is carried around the design.
A beautiful frieze design for curtain
has the tops of bamboo trees for its sub
iect, and portion of the long, slender
trunk or main stem. The trunks can
be expressed by three parallel lines of
running stitches of equal length and
equidistapt, with spaces at regular in
tevals; this gives an idea Of the way
the real stem grows. Windblown bam-
boo tops are the most graceful; the
stems may be in the natural bamboo
color, and the tops in brown or soft
green.
Do not waste time crocheting or knit
ting lace to trim white petticoats, but
rather crochet or knit artistic inser-
tons and laees to beautify a set of cur
tains. Use creamy haX-threads and not
white cotton. FlaX-threads have lus-
trous beauty OF their own that cannot
be equaled by the best of cotton.-La-

ur.s fer the Autumn.

Very autumnal looking are the
hats in deep yellow straws, trimmed
with late fruits and berries. Different
forms may be trimmed in this way, the
directoire capelne and the wide sailor
being most suitable. The crowns are
often bound round with narrow ribbon
velvet, black, ,claret, maroon or green,
and if the straw is an orcn work, one
still narrower velvet viii be threaded IN
and out of its meshes. The punches OF
fruit-grapes, blackberries, mcdlars'
elderberries or nuts - arranged with
lhcir own foliage, rest on the brim. A
pouf of some contrasting color is gen
orally added. This is sometimes made
in the form of circular rosette, with a
bunch of poppy stamens in the middle.

Mexico and the Yaquis.

The struggle between the Yaqui In
dams and the Mexican government has
been inevitable ever since the construc-
ton of the Mexican Central railroad
brought civilization within an easy
march of the Yaqui territory. With
the extension of the area of gold dis
coveries in Sonora the conflict could not
be longer averted and it will have mel
ancholy interest in history as prob
ably the last stand of the red man on

as impervious to civilization and quite

raise just such crops as beans and peas
plants that get stores of nitrogen
from the air, as clover does, leaving the
land, in reality, richer in this valuable
element than before they grew, besides
making a valuable addition to the farm
produce. The writer once saw an eX-
ceedingly heavy crop of beans harvest
ed from q wornout, rocky hillside, on
which sorrel would hardly grow, and
that, too, with no great assistance in
the way of fertilizer or cultivation. The
plants got start on the manure placed
on the hill, scanty as it was, and then
drew on the stores of nitrogen in the
air. Beans appear to do particularly

crops would be perfect failure.-N.Y Y.

Rntted sods for Manure.

There are many places in low lands
by the roadside where the wash of the
road has made the soil very rich. Sods
cut from such land and piled in heaps
rot down readily, especially if some
wood ashes are thrown on them to
hasten decomposition. This makes the
best possible top dressing for grass
lands, and will largely increase the
growth where the soil is thin. If phos-
plate is added this compost becomes a
complete manure for any kind of crop.
The practice of rotting sod is very COM
mon in Lincolnshire, England, where
in olden times the sod was cut very thin,
and after being piled and dried out
the heap was burned. There was waste
of nitrogen in burning the sod, and
allowing it to rod down is much the
better way to make use Of it.-Amer-

Keen the Henhouse Dry.

Build the poultry house so it will be
dry at all times. 1t is easy enough to
have a poultry house that is dry in the
middle OF summer, but that is just the
time when the fowls are in it least
and are least affected by its condition.
But in the winter, when they must re-
main indoors for days at a time, is when
the fowls need to have place that is
not favorable to the increase Of disease
germs. Wet and dirty houses are often
the beginning of epidemics of roup and
other equally fatal diseases.-Farmer's

An oaarty In nniIroading.

'The craze for fast time or railways
is taking Il new feature" observed. a
prominent railroad official to a Star
writer recently. ut is the shortening
of lines and reconstruction of surveys
in order to make given line as straight
as possible between two points. 1t is,
in fact, scheme TO make time by saw
ing distance. a railway without a
curve or a cutting is, OF course, splen-
did thing from an engineering stand
point, but it is a very tedious affair
to the passenger. To thoroughly real
ize how extremely monotonous a long
Journey on a railway without a curve
or cutting is, one must travel on the
road from Buenos Ayres to the Andes
That railroad beats all known rec
ords for having over 200 miles of tracks
almost on line, such as mathemati-
clans describe as the shortest distance
between any two points. No one who
has not seen this remarkable stretch
of road, straight in front and behind
as far as the eye can reach, even when
aided by field glass, can grasp what
; it means or what an amount of weari-
some monotony it involves and en-

STORY WITH A LESSON.
How Tramp's P0liteness Wai
Awakened by the Sight Of a
Model Creamery.

I will relate an amusing incident I
saw happen in creamery 1 visited a
short time ago, writes G. B. Lawson in
Creamery Journal. The creamery was
as clean and neat as any could be-.
There was not a speck of dirt on the
floor or about any of the machinery.
The door opened and a tramp came
in with muddy boots on. 1t was rainy
at the time. He made one step on the
inside and stopped, as soon as he saw
the condition of the room, looked at
his muddy feet, took off his hat and
apologized for coming in in such a
hurry with so much mud on his feet.
If that creamery had been dirty and
grimy, as some are, that tramp would
not have stopped at the door and apol-
ogized, but would have gone in and
gotten the buttermilk he wanted with
out looking at his feet. Brother But
termaker, do you keep your creamery
so clean that tramp will stop at the
door, take off his hat and offer an
apology for coming in? If not, try
it and see what difference it will have
on the looks of the place, and also on
the quality of the product made.

THE SPARROW HAWK.
Investigation Proves That the Farm-
er Has No Better Friend Than
This Prosecuted Bird.

In many sections the sparrow hawk
is recognized as true friend of the
farmer, though in others it is included
in the general warfare waged by farm
ers and sportsmen against hawks of
all descrintions. The ,ral,,~~ s t1.v SPAR.
row hawk lies in his habit of feeding
on small rodents. He is rapacious
bird, and destroys great numbers of
these farm pests; also grasshoppers.
Farmers are slow to appreciate the
value of birds of prey. If one young
chicken is devoured by a hawk year,
the whole race is condemned and no
account taken of the 500 mice and
young rats he may eat during that
period. Mr.. w. B. Hall, of Wakeman,
o., was county clerk while the Ohio
hawk law was in force, and he issued 46
bounty certificates for sparrow hawks.
He examined their stomachs and found
them all to contain the remains of
grasshoppers, beetles and meadow
mice; not one held any signs of chick
ems. The Investigations of the depart.
ment of agriculture are more con.
elusive yet, showing hundreds of mice
against every chicken.
