THE HOWL, ITS PROBLEMS IND INTERESTS
MARKING LINEN.
Sizes of Letters Used for Different
Pieces.


Pieces.
For marking fine linens. while the sim
plest initial Is perfectly correct always.
yet the monogram is the more elegant
form used just now. OF course. there
must be uniformity in the way house
hold linen is marked. the same mono
gram appearing on all the pieces, but
varied in size 70 suit the piece marked.
French embroidery is the most ap-
proved form of decoration. and this Is
done in pure white mercerized cotton or
linen; so this must be used II one wish
es 70 cater TO fashion.
The letters on sheer. pillow cases, and
table cloths are usually thrcc inches IN
height; and for towels and dinner nap
kins two or two and one-haIf inches In
height. and one or one and one-half
inches in height for smaller napkins.
Perforated patterns for marking. from
which the pattern may be transferred

shops. and these will enable the worker
TO stamp her own linen accurately.
which is one Of the essentials of good
embroidery to which II is 70 be applied:
and one rule always obtains for good
work. and this is: Use thread a little
fine rather than too coarse. for the lat
ter IS sure TO look lumpy and clumsy on
a fine ground. even though skillfully
handled Always place the stamped
linen in an embroidery hoop before be-
ginning work.
Sheets are stamped exactly in the mid
die of the top end. about two or three
inches from the hem. with the top of
the letter toward the middle Of the sheet
so that the letter reads correctly when
the sheet is turned back Pillow cases
are marked in the same manner. with
letters two inches above the hem. the
lower end Of letters nearest the hem
The I tiers or towels should be IN the
same relative position. except when the
end IS ornamented with drawn work
then. of course. the embroidery should
be above II. regardless Of measurements
Pillow Shams are marked directly N
the center. on the tableclOths place the
letters top upward. either bias or
straight with the corner and eight inch
es from the edge; on napkins IN the
same way. with letters two and one-half
inches from the edge.

PROTECTION HUMBUG.
1t Enables Tarin Barons to Plumber
the People.

IL Enables Tari6 Barons to Plumber
the People.
The protcctlonists are much exercised
at the exposure Of the agricultural de
partment plan of estimating the num-
Der and value of sheep. The statistical
abstract Of the United States Oh page
800 quotes the figures of the agricul-
tural department, and as these Stats
tics show falling off In the number
of sheep of 1851 1872 and correspond
lug decrease in value Of $34, TSJ, 651
from 1908 TO 1904 1t would indicate
that in spite OF the highest protection
on wool, sheep are not profitable to
farmers and herdsmen. The American
Economist, Of course, as BELTS trust
supported organ of protection, comes
ap smiling and attempts to explain the
vast falling off in the number of sheep
by saying that the growing fondness
for lamb has led to their unusual
slaughter. But this lame explanation
does not explain, in fact. ii befogs the
question, for the government figures
are given for the LIST of January. and
limbs are born in the spring and
would not be counted until the follow
ing year.
The facts are that, like most of the
government statistics, the sheep figures
are mostly unreliable. for the census
report for 1900 on sheep shows the ag-
riculturnl department figures are not
anvu bera nnnr tbe other
1t IS certainly rather an awkward
matter for the protectionists TO explain
what is the matter with the sheep In

sell wheat IN England compete with
the wheat from Argentina and from
Australia. our wheat growers are
greatly handicapped IN this competition
by three facts: a. They have 10 pay

;han Is paid for these same implements
and tools by their foreign competitors;
% they have To bear the burden OF
other protective tariff taxes which un.

and of producing wheat. cil the rail-

ship wheat pay about - per cent more
for steel rails and many other mate
rials than is paid for these same ma
terials. all made in America. by the
railroads over which the wheat Of Ar
.eutna and Australia Is shipped.
As If tins were not sufficient handicap
upon our farmers, il is now proposed
by the political statesmen in control OF
the party of this ridiculous system Of
protection to further tax our farmers
