the mishap in a rather irritable way.
She wrinkled up her forehead and
at once made a series OF remarkably
swift movements with her nimble fin
gers. The husband, looking exceed
ingly apologize, made a few motions
In return.

this little by-play, slyly slipped out a

Quilting.

How many have found quilting on
the machine easy? Having pieced
your quilt and put it together the pro-
per size, get your lining ready, and
with a paper of pins and the wadding
at hand you are ready for work. Lay
the quilt down right side upon the
floor. and stretch out perfectly straight.
Upon this lay the waddlng out in
lengths till all is covered. You next
stretch the lining. right side up, over
the wadding, when you begin the pin
ming at intervals of every six or eight
inches, rolling up the quilt as 1t is
pinned, until you get it all well togeth-
er. ready to take to the machine. Be-
gin stitching straight across one end,
and 90 on and on, removing the pins
as you come to them, and rolling up
the stitched part as soon as it gets
unhandy.- With the assistance of one
person to help hold it in place large
quilt may be quilted in three hours
and finished up even to binding in an
afternoon. John L. Payne, in The
EpitomiSt.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF

R.G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says:
Confidence in continued improve
ment of trade has been somewhat UNI
settled by sensational events in the
wheat market and the lack OF harmony
between labor and capital. 1t is De
coming evident that estimates OF the
wheat crop must be reduced, although
other agricultural news is much better
than usual. In so far as the purchas-
ing power of the farmer is concerned,
prices have risen so sharply that airy
loss in quantity promises to be made
m. but this obvious fact is not appre-
GATED by those dealers who are max
ING less preparation for future trade.
Some disappointment is also felt by
those who counted upon an early re-
sumption of activity in building oper-
ations and other industries hampered
by labor controversies. Otherwise,
news of the week has contained much
of an encouraging nature.
In several manufacturing lines there
is less idle machinery, and visiting re-
tail buyers have stimulated jobbing
trade especially in dry goods and kin
dred lines. Railway earnings thus far
reported for the first week of August
show a small gain of IA per cent,
as compared with last years figures,
whereas recent preceding weeks shoW-
ed more or less loss id comparison
with 1903.

Importance of Flower Holders.

The vessel in which you put your
flowers has much to do with their ef'
feet. Long stemmed ones of steady
habit. like the lily, will be spoiled IL
low vases are used. Flowers with
short stems are always unsatisfac-
tory in anything but low bowls or
shallow vessels, says the Ladies
World. Color must also be taken into
consideration. A blue china bowl may
be pleasing when filled with yellow
roses, but put pink roses into 1t and
you get discord. AS a general thing,
a crystal vase or a cut-gfass bowl VIII
be found more satisfactory than any
colored vessel, because when these are
used there can be no clash of color
no striving for predominance in hue
or tone between the flowers and their
receptacle. Where colored vessels are
used, great care must be taken to Sc
cure proper contrast and entire har-
mony.

The Mop Wringer.

The mop has to be wrung, and there
are a dozen ways of wringing it. Al
most any one who has had the I'M
pleasant duty of wringlng a mop has
adopted a method Of her own for clear
ing the mop Of the unclean water. A
mechanical wringer seems to possess
good deal of merit. Two rollers
working in the upper part of the pail
and between which the wringer is
placed, are brought together by a sys-
tenn of levers, pressingthe water from
the meshes of the mop. The lever is
conveniently placed on the outside of
the pail and is operated by the foot.

worId Statistics,

At a rough calculation the popula'
ton of the world is more than one
billion souls. These speak some 1854
languages, and are worshlpers Of more
than LOO religions. The average
length of life is 33 1-3 years. One,
fourth of mankind die before the sew

teenth year. Only one-sixth live be-
yond the age Of sixty. Thirty-three
million die annually, $1,000 daily, $3.50

one-fourth are capable Of bearing
arms, only one In a thousand is nat

wbv Children Like Fairy Tales.

Probably the chief reason why
children are so fond Of fairy tales is
because of the seeming reality such
stories have for them. The enchant.
ed palaces, the wonderful transforms
tions, the mysterious people and ami
mails that talk, is for the imaginative
child much nearer the real than 1t
IS to the fantastic. OF course he ad.
mires heroism, and in these tales
such heroic deeds can be done, and
to him they do not appear as strange
as we may think they do. In fact,
the fanciful child takes the same in
terest in the fairy tale that the adult
does In the book of fiction, where inn
probable but perhaps not impossible
things happen.
