HAS A RICH EFFECT.
Oriental Embroidery Which VIII BE
One of the Popular Fads of the
Coming Season.

All indications point to the fact
that oriental embroidery will take
precedence over all other forms OF
fancy work this coming season. Its
popularity is secured for the reason
of the simplicity of execution and
richness of coloring.
The charm of this coloring is in the
artistic handling of brilliant primary
tints. They should be so deftly inter,
mingled that no one color stands out
glaringly, but all blend in a har-
monious whole.
The most effective of this oriental
work is executed with jewels and silks
or fax threads or both, and almost
any material may be used-colored art
linen looks well and is inexpensive.
The simplest designs are drawn on
the material, and are worked in floss
silk-red, green, yellow and blue, with
red, gold and green spangles mixed.
The diagram pictured is quickly
worked design, and a most effective
one. Being so geometrical it may be

Creeping Gait In Horses.

A slow walk does not come nat
urally to a horse, for creeping gait,
whether it De in a hunter, harness
or cart horse, is the most provocative
of fatigue, just as it is in man. Show
me slow walker in a healthy horse
and l will promise to show you an
idle groom or driver. If the horse
is in good health, then it may be
taken as a certainty that the slow gait
is the fault of the human attendant,
and both would be all the better for an
awakening. Many slow horses and
slow drivers would get through twice
the work in a day that they accom-
plish now, and both would be fresher
at the end of the day. The creeping
gait is simply suicidal to both man
and beast.

Valuable Hints Concerning the Hang.
ing, Drying and Arrangement
of Lace Curtains.

Hanging lace curtains and draping
them is a severe strain on anyone eX-
cept a professional. The work done
by the professional is often not so
satisfactory as that done by the am
ateur, as the work of the former is
often too stiff and SLOPPY looking to
suit anyone with an eye for graceful
lines and effects. If the curtains are
new they are often easier to manage
than the old ones which have been
carelessly stretched. In stretching
curtains too much care cannot be
taken in getting them straight and
even. If the curtains have a decided
pattern, particularly in the border, it
is wisest to put a pair together on
the frame. Pin corresponding points
in the pattern together at close in
tervals, and see that the edges are
even and the same Much hard work
can be saved by these precautions
and much more satisfactory piece
of work can be done.
There is a tendency just now toward
the plain muslin ruffied curtain hang
ing in straight lines from the top Of
the window to the sill. These are
very dignifed looking curtains and
look best in a room furnished along
the strong colonial lines. They are
used alike in parlor, dining-room and
bed-chamber. Many people of ex-
tremely good taste have the curtains
of an entire floor just alike, and many
persons of unlimited means select the

clined to use the style of curtain
which our mothers and grandmothers
have liked so well, Many people of
perfect taste cling to the so-ca.led old
fashioned curtain and as yet there is
little indication of their falling into
disuse. These curtains are usually
hung in straight lines from the top
of the window to the floor, and if they
are of heavy texture it is useless to
try to drape them gracefully. If they
are of a particularly handsome pattern
they do not show their beauty if
draped. The cotton cord and tassel
is the best to use, as ribbon looks too
fussy.

rule and a crayon pencil.
Work the squares (a) in red silk

dots are done in French knots with
yellow silk. Buttonhole stitch the
lines (b) in pale blue silk, put oblong
gold spangles in between, and at the
four corners (c) put a round gold

During the winter the fountain
should be furnished with a base. as in
dicated by dotted lines. Use a brooder
stove freezing weather. 1t will be un.
necessary to burn the stove during the
night, for very little heat will thaw

to set the fountain between two pens.
for the birds can drink from both sides
as may be seen in the picture.
In constructing one of these foun.
tains, loose pin butt hinges are used to
fasten the bottom to the top. The rod
or axle on which it rests goes complete
ly through the fountain and is of gal
vanized iron, being soldered around it
to make it tight. When filing the foun-
tain is turned bottom up and made fast
by the little hooks, as seen in the cut.
The rod should be exactly in the CEN
ter of the tank. The principle is the
same as all fountains tnat turn in the
hand, only the frame in which it rests
makes it possible to increase the size.-

muslin curtains in preference to the
expensive laces which SAVIOR rather OF
fancy work and are too dainty for
the quantity dignifed furnishings
which are in so much favor just now
Many people prefer a draped back
curtain, and if the outlook from the
window is particularly pleasing, it
seems wicked to shut it out or else
look at it through the foggy lights OF
the muslin curtain.
In the design given herewith are
illustrations of some of the modes in
greatest use just now in curtain
draping. The amateur will, with a
little hard work and care, be able
to hang these curtains Just as well
as the paid upholsterer. The curtains,
to look well, should both be as wide
as the window. Cross each curtain
nearly together, allowing about six
inches on each curtain at the outside.
That is to say, the unruffied edge
should come out beyond the ruffled
edge of the other curtain about six
inches; this should be exactly the
same on each side of the window.
1t is impossible to give exact meas
urements, as much depends upon the
width and texture of the curtains.
Just now it is not considered quite
so stylish to finish curtains with the
Tuffie at the top. Run hem in the
tops of your curtains wide enough to
admit running the rod in very easily.
Be sure not to put your hem in until
you have basted your curtains to-
gether, if you are going to cross them.
Be sure that your curtains are straight
across the top, and drape them back
as high or low as you like them. If
a small room with only one window.
a good effect is obtained by draping
one side higher than the other. If
the rosettes are alike, pull your cur
tains back into position and tie light
ly with strong string, and make YOUR
rosettes out of the fulness which falls
from the back below the string. l al

POULTRY YARD MANURE,
Ii Is OF Inestimable Value to ANY
Farmer Who VIII Save and
Utilize 1t Nationally.

One of the best and most available
manures is that which our poultry
supplies. First of all, it costs no
ready money and is an article of value
to any farmer who will utilize it..
How to save, mix and use this manure
has been a study with scores of farm
ers during the past few years. In
nearly every farmers yard are to be
seen from 100 to 200 fowls, and often
they have no proper shelter and the
droppings are lost. Often no thought
is given to gathering the manure for
fertilizing purposes, and in the spring
the owner will pay from $50 to SIS
per ton for guano, while the poultry
manure that goes to waste on his
own farm is almost equally rich in
plant food and even better than some
brands of so-called pure" guano.
Poultry manure has the most value
when kept in the dry; its value is
largely dependent upon the kind of
food which the fowls deposit. As
a rule the poultry is given richer food
than any other farm stock. Wheat,
rye, corn, also scraps from the table
add to their fare; hence their drop
pings must possess considerable fer
tilizing value. We keep the poultry
together in the hennery as much as
possible. The floor is kept dry, be-
ing covered weekly with ashes OBJ
tained at planning mill at a cost Of
Is cents per bushel. Regular every
week it is removed and stored in a
dry place, shoveled over and enough
absorbent added to keep from heat
ing. 1t is astonishing how much ac-
cumulates. If we wish to drill the
manure it is sifted; otherwise it is ap-
piled from the wagon directly. If
farmers who keep poultry and let the
manure go to waste would try this
plan they would save enough the first
year in fertilizer bills to build a poul-
try house and fence yard for their
private fertilizer factory Chicago

HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
ESCAPED DREADED C0NSUMPT TON.
PerLna Used in Lime Saved Her
a Used in Time Saved Her Life.
ALPS Well That Ends Well.

1t is the same old story of exposure to
cold. The cold passing down the bronchial
tubes to the lungs; the de ,eloDing of a set
tied cold on the lungs, coughing, eXpectora-
tlon. This is short road TO consumption.
Thousands of people have travelled it. Thou
sands more will travel it and the coming
winter will develop an untold multitude OF
new cases.
In the case of Helen Murphy, the ending
was a happy one. She started on the road
to consumption after catching cold at a re-
ception. Instead of waiting until she be-
came lncurable, Peruna was resorted to and
her life was saved.
1t is pity that everyone else in this wide
land could not know of this very effective
remedy in such cases. The news is spread
ing fast but great many people have not
yet heard that Peruna is a sure cure in these
cases.
Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic
catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh of
the lungs; catarrh of the throat and catarrh
of the stomach Wherever catarrh may
have located itself, whether in the digestive
organs, kidneys or pelvic organs, Peruna is
sure to eradicate the disease promptly.
Another case where consumption was
cheated of its prey occurred in the state of
Iowa. The report of the case created con
siderable attention at the time and was fur
nished US unsolicited by Mr. Henrickson.
In letter to DR.. Hartman he sets forth
some interesting details of his rescue from
consumption. He made use of the following
language:
"I have been for years a constant sufferer
from chronic catarrh of the head and
throat, which finally worked down into the
air passages. In the spring of '9S l took a
severe. cold and coughed all summer. |
thought | had consumption. Then ! had a
bad attack of la grippe. After taking .
course of Peruna l feel cured of all these
troubles.
"Wheneverany of our children get sick we
give them Peruna, and it never fails to cure
them. [ most heartily testify to the value
of Peruna in cases of catarrh and la grippe
| hope this may be the means of others suf-
fering as | did to take Peruna and be cured.
We would not be without it in the house"
Henry Henrickson.
Generally the first cold of the season is
caught in November. With some people
this lasts all winter and lays the foundation
of chronic catarrh. In the beginning a few
doses Of Peruna is sufficient to make a per
manent cure.
Send for DR.. Hartman's latest book on
chronic catarrh. Address the Peruna Med
