demand, although the receipts
amounted to $3.50.
The only drawback to the pleas

Of few silly little boys, who persist
ed in stamping their feet and fruit
lessly attempting to keep time with
the music, which was very annoying
and must not be repeated. We can
not believe the boys intended to be
ill-mannered and disrespectful, but
the interruption was very annoying

when you Hang Your Pictures.

BY hanging pictures low you in
crease the apparent height of the room.
Colored pictures should not be hung in
Railways or on staircases unless there
is plenty Of light for them. In such
places strong photographs, engravings.
and drawings in black and white go
best. A picture should not be hung
from one nail; the diamond lines form
ed by the cord have a very d%iscordant
effect. Two nails, and two vertical
cords, or, what is far safe, pieces
Of wire cordage, should be used instead
of the single cord. Picture cords should
be as near the color Of the wall upon
which they are put as possible, so that
they may be but little een When one
picture is hung beneath another the
bottom should be hung from the
one above, and not from the top; thus
we avoid multiplying the cords, which
Is always Objectionable. A good hue
for walls where prints or photographs
are to be hung, is a rich yellow brown
or. a leather color. Lustre to the black
Of the print Of the tone Of the photo
graphs is thus impaired. The wall pa
per should have no strongly defined
pattern. The center Of the picture, as
rule, should not be much above the
level, Of the eye.

There can be no better decoration

woman who has recently started a
bureau where women Just beginning

how they can best furnish their homes,
said to your correspondent a few days
ago: THE best plan in the world when
purchasing bric-a-brac is to buy moth

fulness, or II this seems too broad a
rule, to purchase only one of a kind of
the useless articles. No woman who
cares for the appearance Of her Dom
will have two of every kind Of article.
This gives a sameness to its decorative
effect that is indescribably inartistic.
The day of matched pieces is no

bad Borde.ux ,rix.ure.

From Farmers' Review: It is some.
what remarkable that in the prepare
ton and the application of Bordeau1
Mixture, operations that the orchard.
list and the gardener are now pretty
well acquainted With, there should Sbs
complaint as to the eficacy Of the
fungtcide. It is said that the com.
pound is sometimes no more useful
than mere water and that a substances
like chalk settles at the bottom and
Will not dissolve and mix readily with
the liquid part. In the first case the
trouble is probably not in the fungi
eide, but is due to the disease hav.
ing got too great a Roadway before
being sprayed. The disease must be
prevented, not cured, therefore, spray
early and thoroughly.
The chalky powder is found only in
Old mixture Or at least in that not
freshly prepared. Its formation may
be explained as follows: When the
solutions of lime and of D p are
united In the formation of Bordeaux
mixture there is a chemical as we'll az
q physical combination, but the fine
particles Of the combined lime and
copper commence to collect in little
masses which gradually become too
heavy for the water to hold up and
they fall to the bottom Of the ypowdery,
chalky mass. 1t may be seen. then.
that II these particles are too large to
DC held in suspension they will not be
as effective when applied to the plants
as If they were smaller. The follow
ing will prove the case.
Some Bordeaux was made and al
lowed to stand for a few weeks. It
wa then applied to plots of potatoes,
as was also some freshly mixed fungi
eide. Some plots were also left un-
sprayed. 1t was found that the plats
sprayed with the odd mixture were at
the ends first sprayed as free from
disease as were the plots sprayed with
fresh mixture, but that the last ends
Of the plats were as badly diseased
as were the plats not sprayed at all.
This shows that the effective part Of
the fungicide in the old mixture rap
idly settled to the bottom and was
pumped out at once, thus leaving only
water, and that in the newly made
stun the poison was evenly distributed
and thus uniformly effective.
It Is clear from these experiments
that this fungicide should be applied
as soon after being mixed as possible.
In fact, some growers are this year 60
ing to mix only what an be applied
in one day. It is believed by some Of
them that the throwing away of what
ever is left at the close of the days
operations would be an economy In
the end.

For d Trees.

About five years ago I had about
fifty trees girdled by mice, caused by
some heads Of wheat that had fallen
among the mulching, carelessly left in
cutting the wheat. I inquired what
was best to do; most advised to. re-
plant with new trees. This did not
suit me SO I concluded to experiment
on them, writes a contributor to Ma
tional Stockman. My trees were about
eight years old. good and thrifty. They
had been eaten some time before I mo-
ticed them, some were eaten part way
round and others all the way round.
I took q sap sprout or straight limb
Of tree that had plenty Of sap, cut 1t
long enough to reach across the eaten
place and entered above and below
.one-half inch or more into the sound
bark. This piece I mostly split and
shaved the end so that when I took
q very small chisel or. anything that
would raise the bark. ] could insert
both ends under bark. On some I put
grating wax on others I used clay
and COW manure, and covered all over
with earth. I lost only one tree out
of about fifty and I think I saved
5000 and It took less than two days to
do 1t. I should have said when eaten
all around took four pieces according
to the size Of tree. When split 1t ID
easier to bend. I would use both the
split and the round, and At in so that
it will make q good conductor to carry
the sap.

How to cls.n Rihhon..

"H-s' AAO" W SA0Hu AStuOU46s
Nov that ribbons are SO extensively
worn 1t is quite worth while to know
how to clean them successfully and
easily. The two methods here given
have been put to the practical test
many times over, SO there need be no
hesitancy about trying either one
through fear of failure or Of unsatis-
factory results. The first method is
exceedingly simple, and answers the
purpose for all except white Gibbons
or those that are very badly musscd.
hFil in glass fruit jar about half full
Of gasoline-more or less, according to
the amount Of ribbon to be cleaned.
Place the soiled ribbons in it-all coll
ors, lengths and kinds may go in at
once--and screw the cover on tightly.
Shake the bottle occasionally and leave
1t closed for from two to six hours or
over night. Then take out the rib
bons, shake each one we'll and hang it
to dry in the open air. The ribbons
will be clean and the dirt will be found
on the bottom of the jar. OF purse.
the ribbons need a thorough airing and
sun bath to remove the odor Of the
gasoline, but that is all. No pressing
is required, as the gasoline does not
affect them Is water would. The clear
gasoline should be poured off with
out disturbing that at the bottom;
then the dirt which has settled at the
bottom should be emptied' out and the
clear gasoline put back, ready for use
another time. Keep it tightly covered,
and, of course, never use it near a fire.
because Of the danger of its igniting
The gasoline will turn white ribbons
yellow, SO this method is not advisable
for them. 1t also leaves the ribbons in
the same condition as it found them
as regards their being mussed or crunl
pied, so those that are badly creased
should be given the treatment that is
accorded the white ribons. Prepare a
suds of soft water and any pure soap,
wash the ribbon in this, just as you
would wash a fine handkerchief, rinse
and let it partially dry. Take it down
! while still damp in all parts and roll
1t smoothly over a wide card, or piece
of pasteboard, rolling a piece Of clean
white muslin with it. Wrap the mus
lin round last, SO that the ribbon shall
be covered. and place the whole under
a heavy weight: A letter press is an
excellent place in which to press 1t.
Leave it until it shall have had time
to dry. The muslin will absorb the
moisture. The ribbon will come out
looking fresh and clean, and will have
lost none of its 'life." as is the case
with ribbons which are pressed with
an iron. II a good soap is used the
colors will not run, and this process
takes out the creases as well as re-
moves the dirt. s
