kerchief is then laid over the plain one,
and the two are stitched together on
the line of the hem. Ribbon bows are
attached to each of the four corners,
and ribbon hanger to the edge at the
opening with full bows at each end
Another equally charming gift that
can be made from handkerchiefs is the
bureau cover. For this three or four
are required, according to size, and
they can be as simple or elaborate as
desired. White embroidered kerchiefs
are always dainty, but there are alsa
many novelties in color that can be
utilized with good effect. But to get
the best results, the edges should be
plain.
Whatever the number and whatever
the style, each handkerchief should
have lace insertion at the ends, and
then all be Joined together to form a
strip by means of beading. Around
the entire edge of the cover is a frill
of lace, which forms a finish.
A still further decorative effect can
be gained by threading all the beading
with colored ribbon, terminating in
bows Of many loops. Fine plain hand
kerchiefs with embroidery of small
flowers in color are exceedingly dainty
and attractive, and many other varia-
tions can be made.-Kansas City Star.

Handkerchiefs seem ever to be serv-

the making of dainty bags for fancy

SQUASH CROP FOR MARKET
Hints About Best Soil, Best Fertilizer,
Best Location and Best Method
of Culture.

The kind of soil best suited to the
growth of a squash is deep, rich and
mellow; a gravelly clay also gives good
results. | would not advise a sandy
loan if very dry for squasheS, as they
require considerable moisture. If not
too dry there is good prospect of grow
ing a paying crop of winter squashes

harrow well. Check off the rows five
feet apart each way, leaving two vines
to each hill, the object being completely

soil they would need to be planted

handful of high-grade fertilizer con-
tanning not less than Az per cent. of
ammonia, ten of available phOsphoric
ACID and five to six actual potash. At
least two per cent. of the ammonia
should be in the form of nitrate, re-
malnder from dried blood and pure raw
bone, or high-grade tankage. The phos-
phoric acid should be at least six per
cent. from bone; the potash should be
from nitrate or muriate, or both. Mix
the fertilizer well with the soil in the
hill, then cover three-quarters to one
inch with clear soil, drop about four
seeds and cover with about one inch of
moist soil (if soil is very light and dry
cover little deeper than this), firm

which should be well cultivated and
hoed in; this would probably be the last

the fertilizer is that the Hubbard and

FLOWERS FOR WOMEN.
michigan Railway Company Gives
Thousands OF Boutonnieres Away
at Niles Every Year.

Over 100000 women annually get
free boquets in Niles, Mich, where a
railroad company has just rebuilt its
hothouse on scale that doubles its
former capacity. 1t matters not
whether it be midwinter or the blis-
terlng months of summer, there is n
fragrant shower of cut flowers a this
pretty country station as soon as IA
train comes.
The new building is one of the most
extensive and substantial that has
ever been erected for the purpose. 1t
not only holds a never-failing supply
of flowers for the tiny boquet for the
women folks, but in it are stored
thousands of plants that in the spring
are shipped to every part of the sys-
tenn to be used in beautifying station
grounds.
In different parts of the roomy
structure are found snowy oleanders,
yellow asters, purple phloX, hello
tropc, tiger lilies, dahlias, azaleas,
coleas and everything to delight the
gaze of everyone fortunate enough
to behold the sight.
More than a decade ago the officers
of the road conceived the idea of
raising enough flowers to enable
them to throw in the lap of aeh wo-
man passenger, be she of high or low
degree, n boutonniere of cut flowers.
An employe in uniform bearing a
basket filled with the favors passed

ORNAMENT YOUR OWN LAMP
A Dainty Bit Of China Decorating
Which Can Be Kept in Evidence
the Year Around.

One of the most satisfactory objects
for the china decorator to expend her
labor upon is a porcelain vase to serve
as the foundation of a parlor lamp.
This is something which, unlike the
decorated punch bowl or soup tureen,
Is constantly in use and in evidence.
1t is something thoroughly worth
while, and for which a somewhat dis
proportionate price is usually paid in
the shops.
The motive we give for the decora-
tion of a porcelain lamp vase may, If
desired, be easily adapted to a taller
vase by lengthening the fower-stalks.
The curious plant depicted (sarra-
cenia) is we'll known with us under its
various names of the pitcher plant,
side.saddle flower and trumpet leaf.

Doctor Who Cures Sick Gems.

There is a jeweler in New York city
who makes a speciality of curing sick
and sulky gems. All jewels except
diamonds. he says, are liable to mala-
dies. Rubies, sapphires and pearls
have their separate ailments, but dia-
monds are immune from their great
hardness. Precious stones are all af-
fected by surrounding conditions.
The general cure is the application OF
acids, but it requires an expert to do
it. Pearls suffer most. They age early
and lose all their value in reflection
