Sewing Aprons.

There is really something new IN
aprons. This time it is one which is
not only to be worn when one is doing
fancy work, crocheting or fine needle
work, but which forms a receptacle
for the work in question when it is to
be put away.
The apron is rounded at the bottom,
does not reach below the knees, and IS
made double. Linen lawn is the ma
terial usually employed, but any sufii-
cfently thin white goods can, of course,
be substituted Dotted muslin is
pretty. Take one width of the goods,
leave It straight across the top, but
round off the lower corners so that the
apron itself shall have 4 decidedly
round appearance when gathered into
the band. Cut front and back alike.
Then in the front piece cut two oval
openings, one on each side. large
enough for the hand to slip into easily.
Bind each opening with white or COL
ored ribbon. Next make q ruft1e to
extend all around the apron, and edge
the ruffle with ribbon Of the same
color as that used for binding the pock-
ct openings. Some cheaper material
than the ribbon may be used in both
cases if preferred. Set the rufde In
between the front and back portions
Of the apron and stitch in place.
The apron is now ready to be gath
cred and set into band, which may
be of ribbon or Of the goods. The
completed apron forms large pocket
or fat bag, into which the work may
be thrust through the openings at the
top. For knitting or crochet the bag
serves to hold the balls of wool; for
sewing it keeps together all the small
sewing utensils, except the scissors,
and even these may be slipped in il
they are small and have rounded ends.

Kentucky's Talking Tree.

Out on the farm Of Will Albert,
near Heath, this county, the people or
that section are yet wrought up over
the talking tree" that has been there
for some time. Enormods crowds
continue to congregate there almost
every Sunday to hear the strange
noises that emanate from the tree.
The voice can be distinctly heard, and
says: There are treasurer buried. at
my roots" A party consisting OF the
most reliable citizens of the county,
visited the tree not long since to
make a thorough investigation TOR
themselves as to the noises being
heard. They listened patiently for
several hours when sudden crash,
which has been given many times
before the marvellous production OF a
human voice, came. The mystery yet
remains unsolved, and so great has
the number OF people been VINO have
gone there In the last several months
that the tree Is now dead, caused by
the continuous tramping on the earth
surrounding the tree. The only theory
that has been suggested is that man
was killed under the tree in 1852, and
while many do not believe In "spir'
its," the facts are so plain and the
voice can be so distinctly heard that
thew cannot dispute the fact. A fam
ily of people who lived there many
years ago became SO frightened from
the voice that they sold their farm
at 2 sacrifice and went West, and are
now living in Texas.-Paducah News

The Bathroom,

rich, describes several bathrooms.
some good and others very bad in de-
sign. The worst of all is in the home
of a multi-millionaire. 1t is described
as, properly speaking, not a bath
room, but an overdecorated, over fur

been placed" The bathtub is sunk in
the floor, which is not in the least OBJ
jectionable, but the rest of the room
Is filed with sttffed furniture, easy
chairs, footstools, carved tea tables
draped tables, lamps, screens, palms
and actually a small bookcase. 1t
does not seem as if bad taste could
go farther. Few people Of moderate
means would tolerate, even if they
could afford, such a bathroom, yet too

INCA HANSEN'S FUND.
viii Be Returned to the Donors !

Will Be Returned to the Donors as
Soon as the Courts Permit.
Some time ago Scandinavian of Chi
cago undertook to raise fund for the
defense Of Inga Hansen on a charge
of perjury for her evidence in a per-
sonal injury case, in which she was
the plaintiff. 1t was the opinion of
many that her defense had been weak
and a movement was made to secure
a new trial. The woman was without
means and a popular subscription was
started. When the fund had reached
$1,000, Miss Hansen through an attor-
ney made formal demand for the
money and refused to recognize the
attorney selected by the paper and to
comply with other conditions. 1t was
then decided to return the money to
the donors, but this was stopped by
means of a restraining order from the
court, in which injunction proceedings
had been brought. This case is now
on the calendar and pending the de-
cision of the court, the money natural
ly cannot be distributed, but in case
the injunction is dissolved the sub
scriptions will be promptly returned.

Never Tired,

One day several years ago a Yankee
told a farmer that he was never tired.
well, my man" said the farmer.
ct think you will just suit me. | don't
like men who are always getting
tired
Then he set the Yankee hoeing
weeds in a field. After a while the
farmer came along TO see how he was
getting on, but was surprised to see
the Yankee lying on the ground, fast
asleep under a hedge. The farmer
gave him push and said:
81 thought you told me you never got
tired
The Yankee was scarcely awake,
and after rubbing his eyes he said
We'll, boss, 1 never am tired, but
if I did not lay down several times
every day and have a good sleep
should get tired, like the rest of
folks"

Drummond, Wis, Aug. 21st (Spe-
ciaD-Whole families in Bayfield,

Dodd's Kidney Pills and the reason
why is given in experiences such as
that of Mr.. T. T. Void, well-known

did not know what to do" says Mr..
Void, and as 1 came across an adVer-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills,

Backache is one of the earliest

Kidney Pills cure it promptly and per
manently and prevent it developing
into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or
Bright's Disease.

ALFALFA VS.. CLOVER.
Deadly Parallel Drawn Between the
Two Forage Crops.


Two Forage Crops.
Alfalfa is ready for cutting full
month before red clover. There is
strong advantage in dairy farming,
since green crops are needed at the
earliest possible moment in the
spring. After cutting, alfalfa springs
into growth more promptly than clov-
er and second crop is produced
within six to eight weeks. Glover
lasts two years and alfalfa ten to
thirty years. In New Jersey the av-
erage yield of green forage per acre
was 36,540 pounds for alfalfa and a.
600 pounds for red clover. The
weights of dry hay were S,25S pounds
and 4,088 pounds, and of protein 2,214
pounds and GIG pounds per acre, re-
spectively. In the same state alfalfa
was found to contain 1909 pounds Ct
dry matter and 265 pounds Of protein
per ton, as compared with 1854
pounds and 246 pounds for clover
In other words alfalfa not only yields
two and one-half times as much as
red clover, but it's feeding value is
much greater pound for pound

BOTH SIDES FIRM.
Workmen and Employers in Iron
Trades Refuse TO Confer.

Workmen and Employers in Iron
Trades Refuse to Confer.
Sweden's big lockout in the iron
trades shows no prospects of solution,
although it has been maintained that
since June 10. On the first of this
month 1908 skilled workmen were
drawing strike pay. This amounted
to 10000 kr for the preceding week
and was contributed by the unions in
all parts of the country.
Director Bernstrom, chairman of
the employers committee, has offici-
ally declared that there will be no con-
ference with the men and that the
lockout can only be ended by the men
returning to work without any condi-
lions. He declares that if the men do
not yield very soon thousands of men
will find themselves without employ
ment throughout the winter, as many
places will be taken by non-union men
and several of the iron and steel works
after several months of idleness will
not have any orders to keep them
busy.
Esklistuna Kuriren announces that
the Vulcan works at NOrrkoping has
retired from business on account of
the strike. 1t also reports that Ameri-
can shops are working with amazing
energy to secure orders among the
former patrons of the Swedish shops

NoRwAY's POPULAR BALLOT.
Every Voter, Who Could, Appears to
Have Bafloted.

Every Voter, VINO Could, Appears 10
Have Bailoted.
Norway never had such an outpour-
ing of legal voters as last Sunday and
it is doubtful if she ever will again
unless the question of the establish
ment of a republic is submitted to the
people. Practically every legal voter
who could get to the polls did so, al
though there were apparently about
SO. 900 .stay-at-homes, the estimated
number of qualified electors being
about 100000, while 36S,200 ballots
were cast. There probably were
none who did not vote except few
naturalized Swedes who refrained out
of sentiment for their country and
such as were prevented by illness,
infirmity or temporary absence from
their places of legal abode. There are
fully 100000 Norwegian sailors, prob
ably half of whom were not able to
reach the polls. Then many of the
20, 900 fishermen were perforce out on
the sea. Account should be taken of
those thousands on their vacations,
attending conventions or travelling
for business or other reasons.
The number of naturalized Swedes
is about 5000. 1t is believed that this
class furnished the 184 votes against
the dissolution of the two kingdoms.
The others either refrained from vot-
ing or were counted with the MAORI
ty. 1t is known that many of these
Swedes voted in favor of the act OF
separation. not because they wanted
Norway to travel alone, but in order
that a new union could be formed on
more equal and satisfactory basis.
AS a plebiscite on the supreme
question before the people it could not
be more satisfactory to the govern
ment and storthing, or more conyinc-
ing to the Swedish people and the
European powers.

IRREGULARITIES OF WRITERS.
Ibsen and Bjornson Are Discussed in
an interesting Manner.


an interesting Manner
Literary circles are quite exercised
over an essay by a French writer,
styled writers Modesty," which tells
some characteristic anecdotes of Nor
thern authors.
The French author tells of the self
imposed Punishment of Ibsen. "The
modest estimate he had of his own
Importance wouldn't permit him to
live in his own country because his
writings were not at once recognized
as the works of a genius. Hence he
fed Norway and said nasty things
about it. He made fun of Norwegian
society, which, it is true, is not as in
ternational as it might be. One day,
while in Rome, the younger Dumas
was under discussion.
81 don't know much about him, .
said Ibsen. "but do you really think
he should be taken seriously?"
During the flag incident, he was
asked what he thought of the matter.
Doesn't interest me at ALL he re-
plied3 4 am only interested in seeing
how contemplate man like Bjornson
can act
GAS to Bjornsons book, The King,
he said on one occasion, It's the torso
of a genius
Of Bjornson, the French author has
this to say: "He is like a great oak,
reaching into the heavens to-day and
lying on the ground tomorrow" Of
Anderson, the great Danish fairy tale
author, he says: "He always had a
copy OF his fairy tales in his pocket.

Tourists See Bears.

Tourists passing near Bykle, be-
tween Suldal and Saetersdal, in Nor
way, have been treated to the sight
of wild bears in their native haunts.
AS many as five have been seen at
once, and the beasts have become so
daring that they have ventured on the
Holen gard. The farmers have no
time for hunting in summer but a
few managed to go out and get two of
the animals.
