Flowers Under Artificial Light.

Nearly all flowers in which there Is a
notable proportion of blue are unat-
tractive when seen under artificial
light. Hence purple and lilac flowers
do not usually look well at night.
though there are exceptions owing to
the intensity OF the red in some pur
pies, which comes out well at night
and causes them to appear as Grim
sons. Yellows invariably lose bril-
liancy, and pale yellows become bad
whites under gaslights. but reds and
crimsons aud all shades of pink and
white retain their beauty, and, as a
rule. green leaves are pleasing under
any light.

TIMOTHY ALONE.
The Record of Fine August Sown
Crop In Ohio.

crop In OHIO.
Yesterday we cut the last of the
timothy, an August sown crop, sown
alone, and Il finer field Of timothy l
never had upon the farm, writes an
Ohio correspondent to The Rural New
Yorker. The field was intended for
another crop but a severe drought
made the blowing so difficult that it
was deferred for rain and SO was not
piowed until about July 4, when it
was turned over, herbage beneath.
About Aug 1, right after heavy rain,
the land was made fine as cutaway
and harrows could make it, rolled and
the timothy sown on-six quarts per
acre-and lightly narrowed in, or
rather, Breeds weedered in. The weeds
We're clipped down with the mower
and with the result that do not re-
member ever having so fine a crop
of this horse hay us on this August
sown field.
My thought is that clover may be
made a much surer crop than it is
when sown with oats. il the land is
made fine and compact before the clo-
yer seed is sown, and it should be
lightly narrowed to get 1t in more
deeply than surface sowing and then
trusting to luck for it to get root hold
This has been our practice for years,
with, think, not failure in the time.
Then why should not timothy be
sown as a crop by itself, and not have
to be nursed by grain crop? The
secret of success, think, is to keep the
weeds and foxtail grass cut down so
that they cannot get start to over
shadow the crop we want. In our
anxiety to get soiling and ensilage
crops we must not forget that grass is
the foundation of good soil fertility,
and our clovers and grasses must be
maintained in rotation that recOg-
nizes them as the great renovators of
our farms and gives to them the first
chance, and that chance should be a
deep concern of the farmer to pro-

help. says Iowa Homestead, but the
best way to protect washing is to get
the gully leveled up and establish sod
upon it. This can be done by sowing
timothy, red top, alsike clover and the
like, if the gully is one that can be
moved for hay, or by establishing
patches Of blue grass upon it If it is tc
be used as pasture. Any plowing that
is to be done by way Of preparation for
sodding of any kind should be cross
wise, Of course, and in trying to get a
blue grass sod the establishment OF
patches of the sod is preferable to seed
ing, although both methods may be
combined with advantages; that is,
patches of sodding may be done and
seed may be sown on those parts OF the
gully where it is impracticable to sod
No farm having gully upon it is safe

A NEW FAD IN EMBROIDERY,


Just at present linen en1roideries are
enjoying revival of popularity. y
variety oc linen embroidery that is just
coming, into favor is the Egyptian. 1t is
done on tan or dark linen that recalls
the time CGlorcd wrappings OF n num-
my of one OF the earlier dynasties. The
designs arc mostly Arabic or Egyptian
characters worked in white, brown or
yellow silk.
The cabalistic characters on the cal
endar cover in the sketch are supposed
To carry some charm with them. They
signify something about the flight of
time. The background is tan linen; the
applique black and white linen worked
about the edges in silk.
The pattern on the thick book cover
IS supposed to mean, The protection Of
Allah be with YOU" and is Il very pref
ty inscription for linen cover to be
slipped over 4 handsome birthday gift
book.
The method of working this charming
embroidery is quite simple. Two pieces
OF linen Of contrasting colors are tack
ell together. the design being traced on
the upper piece of linen. This outline
Is then worked out in silk, the en-
broidery being as heavy as rather
coarse silk will permit. The working
may be slight or elaborate, as the taste
dictates. but the colors should be chosen
with a view to carrying out the idea of
oriental effect dark. dull reds being
combined with washed out looking
blues, yellows with rich browns and
blacks with whites and grays. The
outline is done in firm buttonhole stitch
and the filling as the embrodcrer fam
cies.
When the embroidery has been COM
pleted. the upper layer of linen is cut
away around the designs leaving it un-
der them as background. OF course in
this part of the work one must exercise
very sScat care, as, unless a small and
convenient pair OF scissors is judicious-
ly used, there is danger OF cutting Tie
under fabric One advantage OF this
work Is the ease with which il is done.
orc of the sketches shows n cushion
cover on which is appiqUed n pair OF
Parrots. the picture showing but one
half the design. The background is of
gold SILK worked in checks in n darker
shade. The body OF the birds is put on

HOW CHILDREN
SHOULD BE SHOD.

Too much care cannot be expended by
the mother upon the comfort and well
being of her children's feet.
So much misery in after life can be
dispensed with by thoughtful parents

looks around AT the children OF ones
acquaintance and notices how they are
in many cases allowed to wear shoes
either too large or 100 small for them.
Even little babies can and do Law

by. For too often they are kept by an
economical mother in wooden boots
