FOR NURSERY ADORNMENT.
Something New in Wall Paper and
Bed Coverings for a
Child's Room.

Since mems colored bordered handker-
chiefs have been manufactured purpose
ly to meet the demand for the craze for
making negliges and fancy work all sorts
of new ideas have been invented for their
use, says the Washington Star.
A dozen may be purchased for 40 cents.
and it will be sufficient to make a little
flounce Of the border cut circular by re-
moving the center and slashing the
handkerchief from one corner to the
center. This will also make a beautiful
collar which will fall in graceful points
in the back over the shoulders and in
front.
Wall paper effects in chintzes are much
used in the modern nursery. A delight.
full room recently seen had a deep frieze
of pink chintz which had water lilies
and their green leaves all over it. The
upper third was of dark green cartridge
paper.
The bed hangings were also of the
chintz and were arranged on a hoop owe
the bed. They We're edged with a mar
row, pale pink guimp, as were also the
curtains. The tiny light willow rockers
and chairs had down cushions and pads
covered with chintz, which gave the nur-
sery a summary appearance.
Another idea of nursery curtains
which pleases the children is the scrim
which has red and blue rampant lions
all over the white background. This
sounds grotesque, but the cloth is really
artistic and effective.
1t is astonishing how much can be
done to make a window attractive. One
of the prettiest ideas for either the nur-
sery, living DON or den is the use OF
transparent pictures. These transpa-.
encies can be made by any photographer
from views made by the amateur pho
tographer, or from beautiful pictures.
Flower and landscape pictures are de-
sirable, but in the matter of selection
individual taste has to be consulted.
The transparencies are always framed
to keep the pictures from coming in on
tact with the window panes in cold
weather. A good size for a picture is
S%x9 inches.
A pretty idea which was carried out
in a model nursery was in the use of
Mother Goose and Kate Greenway fig
ures in transparencies. This window
was always the center of attraction to
the little people, and it kept them in
the sunshine when they were indoors.

HERE AND THERE

How quickly the millennium would
come if we would only do the good
things to-day that we are going to do
tomorrow.
While most reports indicate that
peaches have been extensively killed.
the outlook continues promising in
sections. Apples and other fruits in
the more %southerly districts have SUI
fered less injury.
The Mexican cotton boil weevil
is not only travelling northward, but
he is also moving eastward. He is
headed for the Atlantic seaboard. Who
can tell how soon he may look upon
the Father of Waters from its west
ern bank!
American horses are in demand
by the military powers of Europe, and
for this reason farmers OF the South
west should raise horses for a definite
purpose. In addition it is well to re-
member that horses are consumed as
food in many European countries.
DIR. S. A. Knapp, special agent for
Texas and Louisiana OF the United
States department of agriculture, has
begun war on the cOtton-boll weevll.
He will not be caught mapping in this
new field of work any more than in
promoting the rice industry. with
which his name has been so favorably
identified.
of all roots that which Is best
adapted for horse feeding is the car
rot. Horses are naturally very fond
Of carrots-so much S that when suf-
fering from sickness and refusing to
take almost any other foods, they can
be tempted to eat by giving them q
few fresh carrots finely sliced.
"A good and willing horse reach
ing the age Of twelve or fifteen years
may show signs of l~aziness or lack OF
energy. A rest in pasture with shoes
removed or 9 rest with abundant and
nourishing food of a cooling nature
in a loose box stall or yard should
restore him to his old-time vigor and
activity.

Serious for the Mule.

A doctor in West Philadelphia Is
fond of curios, especially those belong
ing to the animal kingdom. One day
he saw an old negro driving a super
animated mule attached to a broken
down wagon. He noticed the beast
had one hoof of peculiar formation.
and being interested remarked to the
driver:
"say, my man, when that mule dies
I'll give you three dollars for that
hoof."t
The old negro opened wide his eyes
and asked the physicians address.
The doctor gave it and continued to
his home. In a little over an hour
the negro appeared in his office door
and said in Measurable anticipation:
BOSS, dat mule am dead!"-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

The Business Dairyman.

The time is here when the dairy
mar must thoroughly understand not
only the science of milk production
and of buttermaking, but understand
the general laws that govern the busi-
ness world. He must be a business
mar as relates to all other economic
factors. He must understand the mar
kets and know how to buy his machin-
cry, salt and all other utensils at their
true worth. He a no longer afford
to use imperfect material or machin-
cry. The man that is shut up to the
old imperfect machines and appliances
is not far from failure.-Farmers Re-
view.

Doubtful Compliment.

Poultney Bigelow, who has accepted
the chair of foreign relations at Boston
university, had completed an address be-
fore the Twentieth Century club of Chi
cago. A young man congratulated Mr..
Bigelow rather awkwardly on this address,
and the learned traveller replied:
That is a doubtful compliment. 1t re-
minds me of a remark that a friend of the
groom's made at a New Hampshire we'd
ding.
This friend, an observant chap, watched
the groom closely during the ceremony,
and at the end bore down on the happy
man, shook him warmly by the hand, and
said:
"'Bil, We done good. l had an idee We
would be skittish while We wuz bein' tied
up, but, begosh, We looked as bold as a
sheep "-Washington Post.

IN THE FARM KITCHEN.
Was Much Comfort and Genu-
inc Enjoyment in the Old
Fashioned Room.

The shallowness of much of the cur
rent criticism of country life is illustrat-
ed by the recent slur of a Boston cler-
gyman who suggested that New Eng
land social life of the farming districts
is declining and often centers in the
kitchen instead of the p%arlors. That
was true enough at n time, says the
Boston Budget, and delightful old kitch-
ems were those of a generation ago, with
their ample fires, comfortable chairs,
good company and plenty of popcorn,
nuts, cider and apples for a long winter
evening. Many a frugal family with a
nice bank account found the kitchen
plenty good enough for ordinary occa-
sions, and many of the country's best
citizens recall how they studied their
lessons by the kitchen fire, passed cheer
full evenings in wholesome enjoyment.
Some of them like to stay there yet.
They may have good parlors, too. But
if they had no better place to stay, it
would surely be better to live among
plain surroundings all ones own, than
to reside in a hired city fiat, cramped
into little rooms, full of furniture paid
for on the installment plan or not at all.
Yet it is not SO much where people live
as who they are. Wholesome, delightful
home life, such as builds up a nations
strength and happiness, may center
about a plain farm residence, while a
millionaire's palace may give out an
odor of moral and social corruption.
The nation needs more of the old
fashioned homes and the families of the
old-fashioncE kind to fill them, and it
will do them no harm to stay il the
kitchen if they choose, until the parlor
and sitting-room car be furnished to
their liking.

Miss Muriel Armitage, SO Greenwood

of the Royal Templars of Temperance,
writes as follows:
"Isuffered for five years with uterine
irregularities, which brought on hys-
terra and made me a physical wreck. l
tried doctors from the different schools
of medicine, but withoutanyperceptible
change in my condition. In my despair
l called on an old nurse, who advised
me to try Peruna, and promised good
results if l would persist and take it
regularly. kept this up for six months,
and steadily gained strength and
health, and when | had used fifteen
bottles I considered myself entirely
cured. am a grateful, happy woman
to-dav."-Miss Muriel Armitage.
Miss Lucy NJ. Riley, 33 Davenport ST.,
Cleveland, Ohio. writes:
81 wish to add my Endorsement to
thousands of other women who have
been cured through the use of Peruna.
I suffered for five years with severe
backache, and when weary or worried

l am now in perfect health, enjoy life
and have neither an ache or pain,
thanks to Peruna."-Lucy NJ. Riley.
1t is nolongera question as to whether
Peruna can be relied OF to cure all such
cases. During the many years i'll which
Peruna has been put to test in all forms
and stages of acute and chronic catarrh
no one year has put this remedy TO
greater test than the past year.
