The CoughinE Bean.

To the ordinary housemaid the fall
ing of a house plant into n violent
paroXysm of coughing is naturally
dsconcerting. Yet there are plants
which will do this when the broom
or the duster begins TO make dust fly.
This singular plant is the coughing
beam" known to the botanisr as the
Eutada tussiens. 1t is n native of
warm and moist tropical countries and
cannot and will not stand dust. When
dust settles upon the breathing pores
in the leaves of this plant and chokes
them, a gas accumulates inside the
leaves, and when it gains sufficient
strength forcibly "blows off," clearing
the pores of dust and making Il sound
exactly like coughing. At the same
time the leaves tremble and the plant
actually gets red in the face" through
the sinking of the green chlorophyll
grains and the appearance of red par
ticles ON the leaves. This plant is
sometimes used as L house plant, and
sweeping the room sets it coughing, to
the intense astonishment of persons
not familiar with its peculiarities.

THE CIRCULAR SKIRT.

things that the difference between am
ateur and skilled work consists. When
all the seams are firmly sewed togeth-
err, the edges are to be carefully trim
med off so that both sides are exactly
alike. Then the finishing of the bot
tom begins and is a careful job. A bias
band of buckram is tackled along the
inner part, and piece of silk or of the
same material as that on the outside is
stitched on together. This is turned
up and basted to the inner side, and
the whole is pressed solidly after hay
ing been moistened with a sponge
When the final pressing is done, the
silk may be hemmed down to the lin
ing.
The skirt preferred to wear with this
style of waist Is what is generally
known as the circular skirt. 1t is cut
in three pieces only--the front breadth
and the two side ones. The front one
is cut on the length of the CLOTH and if
it is possible it is cut so that the fold
comes in the middle of the front This
makes handsome skirt, but unless of
extra firm stuff is apt TO sag at the
center of the two back breadths To
cut the front take a measure of the
length of the dress as it should be and
then from the fold in the middle meas
ure 10 inches on the double at the bot,
tom and 5 at the top. This will give
10 inches at top and 20 at the bottom
The two circular pieces are cut from
the open fold of the cloth. The outer
line shows how the cloth should be
placed for the skirt to be cut out Of 1t
The dotted line through the center
shows where the fold Of the cloth
comes and that the two back seams
come on the bias. The two which are
to be sewed to the bias front breadth
are on the straight cross Of the goods
When the material is not wide enough
to cut the back breadths without piec-
Ing, 1t is better to cut the goods from
the top down and piece 1t where the
crosses are marked.

RURAL rELEPHONEs.

The rural telephone is rapidly win
ming its way all through the best de-
veloped agricultural sections of the
country. And this is all right. 1t does
very much to mitigate the isolation
and monotony of life on the farm; it
puts the farmer in close touch with the
markets day by day, the family physi-
clan and his business associates all
over the county. More than all these
things, it ministers to the pleasure and
comfort of the wife and mother in
social way, who can without effort of
having to fix up-change her dress and
dress her hair-call up her neighbor
and have a heart to heart talk, a rare
privilege when she gets into that mem
tai state somewhat peculiar to the sex
when it seems just as though she must
say something to somebody. There is
no improvement which a man can
make for his farm and his farm home
which will pay so large return as
telephone. Most towns in the country
now have local system and central
office and operator. and it is an easy
matter to build these county lines and
connect them with such town system.
If this matter has not been looked up
in your neighborhood, suppose you go

usual lines and haste it and try it on,
and then draw the front into position
according to the diagram and pin it
into the proper shape. The lining
should be wrong side out, to allow the
dressmaker to draw in the seams. The
seam should come just half way the
length of the shoulder and end an inch
and half from the front. The seam,
to keep it smooth, must have line Of
featherbone all the length and even on
the outside it is an addition to have
and this makes handsome trimming
to go all around the whole garment.
Buttons close it. The back is cut in
four pieces and Is a shape familiar to
us all. for it never goes altogether out
of fashion, but the fronts are new. The
seams are sewed very neatly and press
ed fiat. and the short position Is fin
ished in the most mannish fashion pos
sible. The featherbone cording should
not be put on the ends of the position.
All the inside seams are bound with
narrow lustring ribbon in the approved
way. The ease belt is absolutely nee
essary. The collar can be whatever
kind the wearer desires, but the best
taste would suggest that it should be
of the material and trimmed like the
rest of the basque.
The two centerpieces in the back are
cut with jog one inch deep, and
this is sewed along with the other
piece, which forms the back side piece.
When done, these are folded over and
pressed firmly and finished off with
buttons. The position can be made
larger If so desired. The sleeves to
basques should be in tailor shape, mas
much as nearly all basques are to be
worn with tailor made skirts. Those
in the model are not trimmed other
wise than by having haring cuffs, and
they are stitched in several rows, both
at the joining and at the bottom. All
tailor sleeves are slightly fulled at the
shoulders. In sewing them in great
care must be taken to get the top
shoulder seam so that it comes directly
in the middle of slope in the back at
the shoulder where the cross is. Ev-
cry seam must be firmly basted all
around the edges and then all the diff
ferent parts of the waist basted to-
gether. Basting has a great deal to do
with the proper finish of any tailor
made garment 1t is in just these

KEEP IN rnucH.

A man who was raised in the state
of PENNSYLVANIA left the old home
when of age and went west. He neg
lected to keep in touch with the old
home and his kith and Kin and heard
nothing from there for Is years. He
then, having made some money
thought he would go back to the old
place and see how the folks were get
ting along When he got there, he
found the old house and barn looking
just as he left them, but father, moth
er, brother and sister were all sleeping
UP in the little cemetery on the hill.
There are all too many people who,
like this man, neglect to keep in touch
with those nearest and dearest to them
and who, like him, may realize the fol
~ of so doing when it is all too late.
