The board then proceeded to equal
lie the said assessments and hear
grievances.
Ola Anderson. Of the village of At
water, appeared before the board and
made affidavit that his assessment of
$4,000 for credits, under class % was
not just; that at the time Of the as
sessment he had no credits excepting
balance on certain mortgage held
by him, which balance was not subject
to taxation in as much as he had an
equal amount of Indebtedness to offset
the same, wherefore he prayed that
the board would take steps to reduce
his assessment by taking off the said
$4,000.

Some Yeas ago Russian warship

planned that the seal money" prom

THE DANDELION DIES HARD
ing to Get Rid of This Per-
nicious Weed.

In some parts Of the country garden
ers consider the dandelion a valuable
crop to grow for the market. But while
these people are studying methods of
culture that will be more favorable to
it's development there are others who
are equally anxious to find way to get
rid of it. To the latter the Denver Field
and Farm does not offer much encour-
agement. 1t says:
THE dandelion has become one Of
our most pernicious weeds within a
few years and the pest is spreading in
spite of all efforts to get rid of them.
Many lover of a pretty lawn has tried
to eradicate them by cutting out with a
knife, but the fact is that when we cut
off the crown an inch or two below the
ground we simply multiply the number
of plants. The side roots start into
business for themselves. forming new
crowns. If We do not cut the seeds give
new plants and so determination is
rather a hopeless task. Where the
plants are very thick the only thing to
do is to destroy the old sod, kill out the
roots and re-seed heavily with grass.
Where the plants are few in number it
may be just as well to imagine that they
add beauty to the lawn and try to enjoy
their presence. Of course the roots can
be killed by the free use of blue vitriol,
but each spot so treated will remain bare
for years."

be made either by gathering the rib

been carried out on pale green linen

DESIGNS FOR SILK QUILTS.
Our Grandmothers and Mothers Took
Delight in Doing This Use
full Fancy Work.

In order to make an effective quilt
the silk pieces must be carefully as
sorted, placing the very dark and the
very light in separate piles. The me-
dunn shades can be used as light only
when combined with black or the dark
greens, browns or blues. If there is a
scarcity of these dark shades, it is
frequently advisable to dye part of the
very light or slightly soiled scraps. 1t
is easily done and gives more uniform
ity to the quilt, removing it farther
from the crazy-work effect.
Fig. l is a simple hexagon, yet it
makes a most beautiful quilt and uses
the small pieces. Exactness in cutting
is very necessary. If the rows of
small blocks with which the large
blocks are united can be made uniform
in color, the effect is much more pleas
ing. Basic each piece of silk over a
block of stiff paper, and overstitch to-
gether on the wrong side. The papers
can be removed when the quilt is fin
ished. The width of the border is

A CHICAGO GIRLS SECRET.
She Says That Swiss Worn Over
White Wash Silk Has the Eff
feet of Organdy.

Where did you get that exquisite Or
candle waist?" ask girl the other
day of friend who wore dainty crea-
ton that buttoned up the back with tiny
lace buttons.
''Tll let you into the secret" said the
friend. 1T is not particularly fine
organdy or swiss, rather. for it is swiss,
which washes better than the organdy
but it looks so, because l wear it over
the thinnest kind of a white wash silk
blouse, which is made plainly, but along
the same Lines. This gives the swiss a
cloudy, filmy and kind of billowy eff
feet, that makes it look like chiffon.
It throws up each little thread of the
lace trimming, SO that it appears like
something costly instead Of the ordinary
wash valenciennes, which it is. And it
gives soft effect to the skin.
"The lining, too, saves the swiss, so
hat by washing it out in the wash bowl
and pressing it when nearly dry the
waist itself can be worn two or three
times without doing up. Besides all this,
instead of having to lay the whole thing
away this fall, intend to wear it with
ME lining all winter. Try it yourself"
added the girl, generously, "but be sure
and get the softest and lightest silk pos
sible, as more expensive quality will
not mix so artistically with the waist
fabric and look so much like part of it. !"

usually determined by the number and
size of the pieces on hand.
Whether the border is plain, of silk
satin or velvet, or whether it is EN-
broidered solidly, in outline or applique,
is a matter of taste and convenience.
The basket design shown in Fig. 2 is
excellent for using the small scraps
of silk. The dark handle should be
carefully basted upon the light silk,
then turned under and felled on both
edges Put together with strips OF
light silk-although the colors may
be reversed with satisfactory results.
The oId-fashioned log-cabin pattern
is especially good for utilizing rib
bons, samples or ruffies from skirts.
A very handsome log-cabin quilt was
made from two worn silk dresses, one
ivory, the other a faded blue. The
latter was dyed a golden brown anG
having been made quite long and full
with a deep fiounce, furnished sufti-
cient material, after the blocks were
finished, for a border of medium
width. The joining was covered with a
very fancy stitch done in ivory en-
broidered silk. The owner thought it
pretty enough to deserve a silk lining
which she purchased at A cents per
yard. 1t was bound with brown taffeta
ribbon.-Ohio Farmer.

ELECTRICITY ON WARSHIPS
Russian Government Has Plan to De-
termine Its Effects on Me-
tallic Hulls.

Electricity is so largely used on the
modern warship that naval officers have
exhibited some concern lest there be
deterioration of the metallic hull and
framework from electrolysis. 1t would
seem that by avoiding grounding" on
the hull and by high-class insulation
this apprehension would be allayed, but
in some quarters the fear >continues to
exist. In consequence of it the Russian
admiralty has determined on a curious
experiment. For reason beyond it's con-
troll, the czar's government is rather
short on war vessels just at present.
and seven torpedo boats are now build
ing for service in the far east. The
Elektritcheskip Viestnik-an esteemed
contemporary-repor that one of these
will be fitted exclusively for oil light
ing, while the others will be lighted by
electricity. Thus, in practical way, an
opportunity will be given to observe the
alleged deleterious effect of the existence
of electric current on shipboard. But
the experiment will be rather hard on
the officers and crew of the oil-lighteG
ship. Further notice of the test should
be given to the gentlemanly Japs, that
at least one of the archaeological boats
and the oil-lighted boats be protected. by
amicable agreement, from the projec-
tiles of rapid-fire guns, which are even
more dangerous than electrolysis.

Old Man Died in Peace.

Three or four years ago an old man
got up in meeting of the Missouri
Dairy association and said he always
had felt that he could not die in peace
If he did not leave his farm better than
he found It; that he felt he owed it to
himself, his children, his country and
to all mankind to increase the fertility
of his fields every year If possibly he
could do so. Last year the old man
died and at the recent meeting of his
old association every one was saying
good things about him. II every farm
er in the country administered his trust
as farm owner in the same spirit

NEW FURS ARE ELABORATE.
Lace, Braiding and Fancy Buttons
Used Literally in Ornamental
ton of the Garments.

Although it makes woman gasp to
think of furs at this time of year, yet
fashionable women are ordering their
winter wraps already, because anything
in fur can be gotten so much more
cheaply now than later.
The st. Louis Republic says that al
though the seasons stock may not yet
be all made up in the fashionable houses,
many sample garments, and plush and
cloth models are at hand from which tc
see the styles and to order.
Furs this season are to be much orna-
mented. Lace, passementerie, braiding
and fancy gilt or cut steel buttons will!
be used on these garments in great pro-
fusion. Vests of suede or cloth and ap-
fancy braiding ornament many.
The vests appear in nearly all Of the
short jackets and boleros. Handsome
metal belts will also be worn as finish
to many fur coats.
Sleeves are very much larger than last
season and show many variations. In
the most fashionable cuts the fullnes'
lies from the elbow up, ratner IMAM De-
low. An exact opposite to this effect ap'
pears in sleeve that hangs full, but il
almost a straight line at the outer fold
from shoulder to elbow. The sleeve. il
so cut that from this point in to the
forearm is another straight horizontal
line. These two lines of the fullness NEE
at the elbow at right angles, so tha
the effect of this sleeve is a square far
of fullness at the elbow.
The old-fashioned leg of-mutton sleeve
has a place this season along with the
bell sleeve, whose fullness is left loose
and that which is caught up, as well as
other forms of large sleeves.
OF all the fur garments seen this win
ter few will be more popular than the
boleros and little jackets that just cover
the hips.
