two with silk thread of the same
shade is necessary to make the ribbon
stay in place, but this should not
be resorted to if it can be avoided, as
it produces a stiff, set look, which is
not desirable. If more than one shade
is used, make some flowers darker

DAINTY SOFA PILLOW.
Aa Exquisite Fancy work Idea from
France, at Once Simple ana
Yet Decorative.

Pretty sofa pillows add greatly to
the furnishings and general appearance
of a room, and the one | am about to
describe, with it's exquisite ribbon-work
blossoms, cannot fail to please even the
most fastidious. The French people
are noted for their artistic tastes, and it
is to them that we are indebted for this
dainty artsof ribbon work.
In this pillow, violets and their TO-
Iiage are the motif; q huge bunch in one
corner, a little group Or two in others,
and some loose, scattered ones, leaving
the careless grace of the natural hover
plainly evident. The material used as
a background is brown linen. A cream
colored basket weave canvas is also very
beautiful carried out in this manner,
The leaves and stems are first embroid-
cred solidly in shades of green floss,
and then comes the ribbon work.
For this two or three shades of violet
colored silk ribbon are required, rib
bon that is soft, pliable and about a half
inch wide. One shade can be made to
answer, but the result is much more
pleasing if two Or three are used, and as
the same quality and width are required
the expense will be no greater. The
French embroidery ribbons are shaded
themselves, so that only the one length
is needed, but it is not always possible
to secure them. About four yards will
be necessary in this instance.
Select needle with long eye, and
not too coarse. Thread this with a
strand of the ribbon. Fasten one end
securely on the wrong side under one
of the violets, using ordinary needle
and thread with which to do the tack

Honey as a Home Remedy.

Honey is a valuable medicine, and has
many uses It is excellent in most lung
and throat affections, and is often used
with great benefit in place of cod liver
oil. Occasionally there is person with
whom it does not agree, but most people
can learn to use it with beneficial re-
suit. Children who have natural appe-
tites generally prefer it to butter.
Honey is laxative and sedative. aid
in diseases of the bladder and kidneys 1t
is an excellent remedy.

WORE TWO VESTS.
Mankato Attorney Makes an Anus
ing Mistake.

From Saturdays Daily.
W. E. Young's mind is a good deal
distracted these days over thoughts of
office holding and how to get office. AS
is well known, he is candidate for
state railroad and warehouse commits
sioner. 1t takes clothes when man runs
for state office of the Importance of the
one that Mr.. Young seeks, so he visit
ed a local tailor shop the other day, and
left his measure for suit of comfortable
summer goods. In due course of time
the suit was ready to be tried on, and
Mr.. Young removed his old coat and vest
and donned the new.
The fit was good one, for no Mankato
tailor ever makes any other kind, and
Mr.. Young soon had his own coat and
vest on again. The tailor soon after
wards followed him back to his office and
said breathlessly that he could not find
the new vest, that he had no more cloth
of that pattern, and was in quandry.
He wanted to know whether Mr.. Young
knew where the vest was. The candi-
date did not know.
That night when, tired and sleepy, Mr..
Young prepared to retire, he made the
discovery that he was wearing two
vests. He had his old one over his new
one, which he had forgotten to remove
in the tailor shop. He had left it on
and slipped his old coat and vest on
over it without discovering his mistake.
The next morning he sought the anx-
ious tailor, who had spent sleepless
night in searching his shop through for
the missing garment and in worry as to
what he should do. The tailor was
overjoyed when the vest was produced
and the explanation was made.

These gifts were certainly liberal. Los
Angeles is city of about 100000 people,
smaller than st. Paul. Yet the body of
the citizens understood that the confer

estimated that the visitors in the city,
in the neighborhood of twenty thousand.
A large percentage of these were tour
lists who came at that time on account
of the cheap railroad rates.
While in Los Angeles, DIR. Andrews
met Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Patterson, who
are very comfortably situated in the
city. He also met A. p. Halfhill, a
former resident of Mankato, who &C.
cupies a beautiful residence in a fashion
able part of the city and is doing large
and prosperous business in fish. His
company catches and cans fish, and
sells them at wholesale in all parts
of the United States.
Mr.. Quinn, another former Manka-
tonian, was met by DIR. Andrews and
family. Mr.. Quinn lives at Riverside, a
thrifty little city about the size of Man
kato, and situated about forty miles
from Los Angeles. Mr.. Quinn has made
himself wealthy by dealing in California
real estate, so that he now does nothing
but loan out his money.

SHOULD COMB THE COWS.
Some Excellent Advice Given By Dali Y
Commissioner Mcdonnell.
From Saturdays Daily,

=
w. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, believes that dairy
cows, in order to give good supply of
milk, should be curried and combed at
least once a day. The barns, he be-
lieves, should be whitewashed and dis
infected, and the dairyman's hands
should be washed and manicured before
milking. Cows, he says, should not be
MIXED when there is dust or bad odors
in the air.
To prove the correctness of his theor-
les. Mr.. Mcconnell has had photographs
taken of "cow well groomed" and a
''cow not groomed." The we'll groomed
cow has coat as glossy as a seal,
whereas the ungroomed cow looks more
like buffalo. The well-groomed cow
gives rs per cent more milk than the
animal that is not regularly combed.
Mr.. Mcconnell in a special article pre-
pared for an agricultural journal says:
''The good dairyman feeds his cows
regularly on wholesome, we'll balanced
rations, and does not milk his cows while
foughage is being fed or when there are
dust and bad odors af1oat in the air. He
sees to it that the cows have a clean,
dry bed, and when he goes to milk he is
careful to brush off the flank and udder
so that dust, hair and deadly bacteria
do not fall into the open pail.
"Dairymen, be clean about your work.
Remember that innocent people are to
use this product as food, product that
is capable of carrying germs of disease
to the human body. Please remember
this and wash your hands before milk
ing; clean your fngernails and do not
milk with wet hands.
"We can truly say that the average
consumer of dairy products consumes
more filth in milk than any other article
of food. The long suffering public will
not long be satisfied with these condi-
tions, as is evidenced by the fact that
the New York market is ready and glad
to pay a premium of 2 cents a pound
for Minnesota prize butter.
"Too little attention is given to the
location of our barns. The first con-
sideration should be the drainage. To
secure the best drainage, light and venti-
lation, it is best not to build the under
ground stable. A good easement barn
is more sanitary and usually more eco
nomical and comfortable. An approach
to one side of basement barn is com
monty made without much extra expense
and adds much to the convenience of
the building. If the sanitary conditions
are difficult to secure because of lack
of natural drainage, it is well to build
the barn at a greater distance from the
dwellinghouse. Whether the barn has one
or two stories is matter of taste and
convenience, but a good foundation is
important. A good floor is an essential
of clean barn. Many prefer &C.
ment floor and managers, but a clean,
healthful floor and manager can be eco
nomically built of lumber"
