RIBBON EMBROIDERED CASE.

"A new departure in ribbon work Is
The crinkled ribbon which can be had
in several shades of various colors.
This ribbon is about the width Of that
used for ordinary ribbon work, but
somewhat softer and closely crinkled.
This embroidery is suited only to
dainty articles which will not have
rough usage, table centres, sachets,
book covers, etc. being suitable arti-
cles for decorating with It.
On handkerchief case the punches
Of flowers are all worked in the ribbon,
with the exception of the stems and
centres. The foundation is hellotrope
bengallne silk, and a thin lining of
cotton is placed under 1t to give greater
support to the embroidery.
The colors of the ribbons are two
shades of orange, one of blue, two
OF pink and two of green.
The centre bunch is entirely worked
IN greens for leaves, stems and centres,
the flowers being all of one shade of
orange or else with alternating petals
of the two shades.
The corner punches have flowers IN
bne shade only, pink. yellow, blue and
orange being used according to taste.
The tiny flowers between the punches
are alternately dark and light orange.
The needles used are what are
termed Chenille needless" which have
large oval eyes and sharp points,

Greedy Animals.

It may be doubted whether those of
us who are able to obtain sufficient
food without difficulty can appreciate
the craving for sustenancc experienced
by sea birds and other animals, which
have often, by force Of circumstances,
to fast for long periods. Gulls will
eat until they cannot fly, and when
they find pilchards or board a boat
will continue their feast until they can
only lie down and gasp. A superfluity
Of food comes at such long intervals
that when 1t does come the avian In
tellect reels at the prospect, and what
seems horn of plenty brings dire dis
aster. Seeing that gulls and gannets
know no better. we are not surprised
to hear OF John Dory. stuffed to the
very mouth. floating helplessly on the
surface of the water. unable to escape
from a flock of sea birds which have
deprived It of its eyesight and will
quickly take away its life.
A snake which thrusts its head
through the pallngs to seize an unwary
frog, and finds itself unable to draw
back again with the frog in Its throat,
has wit enough to disgorge the am
phibian. and to deftly draw 1t through
by the leg so as to swallow 1t on the
safe side Of the palings: but probably

wrong side in company with n frog

LEARN TO RELAX.

It is strange how few people really
know how to relax, to let the bed hold
them instead of vainly trying to hold
up the bed. says Health Culture. Give
way, let the nerves and muscles rest
DO not anticipate your journeys end
of waste nerve force by mentally going
ahead and fussing because of delay.
Do not mentally get out and push the
car along because you do not reach
your destination in a moment. Relax
drop the subject from your mind, and
you will reach your objective point
far less worn in mind and body than
II you fused and fumed.
You can add years to your life by
simply breathing. 1t is want Of
thought, want of time. want of knowl-
edge that is at fault.
Mrs. Browning says: "He lives most
life who breathes most air." Learn to
breathe properly and you will always
be self-possessed. Learn to relax and
you will never be nervous and fussy
and make others around you nervous.
Do not catch the breath with a gasp,
do not fuss with this or that little
thing. Relax and gain that repose of
manner that places you and those
around you at ease. Few people can
"let CO." Only one person out of twen-
ty can really drop the arm. Raise 1t to
Its full length above the head and see
II you can let 1t fall, commencing with
the finger tips and SO on down in per-
feet rhythm. Nineteen out OF twenty
will put it slowly down. This is not
relaxing. Let it drop, and drop heavy,
too. 1t will not come off. The muscles
of the neck are seldom used freely. II
is surprising how much force we use
to hold our heads on. We do not find
this out until We try to let them so.
Yawning is not polite. but it is health
ful. Why? Because If given full ex-
preston 1t stretches and vitalizes all
the muscles OF the body. and then re-
lakes them, quickening the blood sup
ply and giving 1t free play.
