Plain Handkerchief.

Fashionable women no longer use the
unpopular embroidered handkerchiefs,
nor even the dainty lace trimmed mou-
choirs that were for time universal
favorites.
Doubtless the array of cheap embroid-
cred and lace-trimmed ones to be found
in all the shops is responsible for fash
ions fckleness. The woman who alb
hors commonplace things and drops a
style after it ceases to be exclusive is
now using handkerchiefs of the sever
est simplicity. They are made of the
very finest linen, sheer and filnly as Il
cobweb, with narrow hemstitched edge.
In one corner, in the most delicate and
simple of tracery, are her initials, but
there must not be a flourish of the EN-
broiderer's needle to these letters, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The handkerchief must depend for its
style upon the exquisite quality of the
material and the perfection of the en-
broidery:, Elaborate monographs, fancy
letters, the first name of the owner, or
any attempt ut unique letter is now out
of date. The only thing permissible is
to have the crest embroidered just above

More Epitaphs.

their way into print, but the impressive
and noble ones are seldom quoted Sir
Mountstuart Grant Duff made notabl
collection in his recent paper on the sub

Many of the Greek epiraphs were de-
voted to sailors, and the following was
taken from the tomb of an Athenian at
Meroe:

epitaph, which the dean hung up in the
great abbey, was the following:
Here's an acre, sown indeed,
With the richest, royalest seed
Which the earth did e'er suck in
Since the first man died Of sin.
One of the best English epitaphs writ
ten in our own time was penned by the
Archbishop of Armagh (Dr. Alexander,
and contains these two lines:

In the case Of Queen Wilhelmina every

enough for his only daughter. OF suit
ors there has been no lack, and one of the

that the lady ''makes the proposal" which
many girls will naturally consider Quite

Let us recur briefly. to the day whel,
Wilhelmina attained her majority, and
according to Dutch law took up the reins
of government:
WiIhelmihh Heleiia, Pauline Maria is

Heavy Oats Best for Seed.

The fact that oats soon i'll our climate
fall off in weight per bushel or run
out" as farmers say, is probably owing
to the hot, dry weather which usually
comes about the time the oat crop is fill
ing and ripening. That cannot be helped,
climatic changes are beyond human con
troll But the evil may be lessened by
sowing only the heavi est oats, and SOW
ing those early in spring OH fall-plowed
ground. Then they will probably ripnn
before the hottest anu dryest weather
comes. We knew one old farmer who H.
ways attributed the decline III weight of
oats to threshing by machinery instead
Of by hand. The threshing machine
takes out every ont, light or heavy.
When they are failed out many of the
light oats do not fall out of their hull.
They are probably worth more to make
the oat straw better feed than to go with
the larger, heavier oats. This farmer
used to beat out oats so as to get not
more than one-half of these There
would be no light oats in them. He
found that with these heavy oats two
bushels of seed was sufficient So it
may be if the oats are sOwn early, for
then the oats will start and send up
many shoots from u single seed. But if
the seeding is delayed so that the oats
cannot stool much. we should advise
sowing the usual amount, which is about
three bushels per acre.-American Guilt

MAKING AMERICAN FLAGS.

The Business Hns Grown to I'M III cnsi
~ Since the War Began. ,
There arc thirty flag factories In the
United States, Of which more than one
halt are In the state of New York and
have an invested capital Of $500, 600 and
pay IN wages nearly 100000 a year.
Many other flags than those used for
patriotic decoration or display are made
in this country. There are the railroad
flags, Of which enormous numbers are IN
use. These signal tlags come in two
sizes. IS by 20 inches and Is by "A inch
es. There IRE, it Is said, more red than
green signal flags, and more green than
are. for yachts. for use by contractors
and railroad builders, for steamships and
auctioiieers, aid for social societies. says
the New York Hun. The United States,
having Freut cosmopolitan population,
especially III the large cities, 1t Is not ati
unusual thing in these times of celebra-
ton or festivity, to see flags Of foreign
countries displayed-foreign flags of
AMERICAN make. There are, for instance,
more Irish flags with the gold harp on
the green background made in the Unit
ca ca. states than in any other country, and
FOR many years all the Cuban flags in
use by the struggling patriots of that ISL
and have been made for them in the
United States.
There are three flag factories in the
state of Louisiana, and there is one fac
tory i'll South Carolina. For many years
Massachusetts took the most prominent
part, perhaps, in American tiag-making,
the local supply of bunting being abund-
ant, but New York has recently much
exceeded it in this business and the state
of Pennsylvania does considerable in the
tlag-making line, too. Bunting in use
for hag-making Is of two kinds, the WOOL
en- bunting, which Is the better variety,
and the cotton bunting, which is cheaper,
less durable and less ornamental. The
bunting comes in rolls. The man who
cuts 1t into the required widths for the
stripes measures off the widths on the
rolls with q butte hers knife. THAT ends
the masculine labor OH flags, for there
after all the work Of sewing, stitching
and hemming Is done by girls. they are
better fitted for the work than are men ;
they show. greater care and more skill
their salaries are less, and they are said
to have a knack at hag-mak}ng. The
profits Of fag-makihg in the United
States, already considerable i'll times Of
peace, have been, largely augmented by
the Incidents Of the recent war:
