In the current issue of Il e

rye n, Haynes has an undressing
article on the progress that has
been made in the United States
toward popular election of SER
ators. Mr.. Haynes made Il e
statement that at some time III
the history all but two of the
states of the Union have declared
in favor Of electing senators by
direct vote. In view Of the pra-
ctical unanimity of the demand,
| it seems surprising thatn action
looking toward the submission
of a constitutional amendment
has been taken by congress.
Thirty,one state legislatures
have formally sent to congress
the record of their approval of
the proposition. More than half
of these have requested that a
constitutional convention be
called. Mr.. Haynes shows that
despairlng of congression sup
port, many states have sought to
/ secure direct election of senator's
by indirect methods. About 10
have laws or party usages where,
by candidates for United States
senate are nominated in prim-
aries. Members of the legisla.
ture are not legally bound tc
vote for the primary election OF
convention nominees, but they

Farming Pays.
Catchy Stories told by DIR. John

in a Recent Address.

1000 bushels of onions. 20 cents
per bushel, the farmer will get
$7O0 from his acre. That will
keep him during the. year.
There is an active old gentle
man in Utah who believes in dry
farming. He has GAO acres of
land, which has never received
water. In fact, few year ago
one would have the land. The
old gentleman raised 10000
bushels Of grain on the farm last
Z year. He cleared six or seven
thousand dollars. Then he took
a trip to California and has since
been bothering himself about
the best way OF investing his
money He has finally decided
TO buy more land.

will be no dull days for the company Of
which she Is part.
The Summer Home.
A summer home might be built almost
without rooms, but hardly without COM
| modious porch. The term implies outdoor
life and access to fresh air.
Then. again, the furnishing of the interior
of summer home Is of minor Importance.
Housekeeping should be light during the
summer months, and the inside of the house
used only when the weather will not permit
living on the outside. For this reason the
care In furnishing can be expended on the
porch. 1t can be made living room. a
dining room, a reception room, and serve
equally well in any capacity. and withal be
made SO attractive that the remainder of
the house will sink into insignificance
In the first place, If there Is not sufficient
shade around it, 1t can be screened from
the direct rays of the sun by Venetian
blinds. When the home Is old enough to
admit OF such things beautiful arbor can
be formed OF the trumpet creeper and wild
grape vine This will give green wall to
set on the rest OF the decorations. and will
be there year after year.
Bright rugs combining red and green In
Indian patterns make inexpensive coverings
for the floor and blend well with the out
side surroundings. Then there are many
other rugs in warm shades made especially
for porch use.
A well-dressed porch can include almost
any article necessary for the comfort of
living room. Chairs. settees and lounges in
willow, rattan and reed are found In a va
riety of colors. And the most convenient
OF tables come in the same ware. These
tables are supplied with lower shelves and
really furnish the table room of several
A hanging shelf for the books that consti-
tute the summer reading Is an ornament
and a convenience. A rack for the daily
papers also is an addition, while cushions
of various kinds lend enchantment to the
view. These should be made of strong
bright material that will not need washing
often, and they can be procured In checked
straws that stand hard usage.
When the porch Is finished by an artistic
array of Chinese and Japanese lanterns an
effect is produced that will make 1t the
GROWING glory OF the summer home in the
night as well as the day time.

ALL ABOUND HOOIF

/ Picking up Is an easy art In Europe
where, after all that has been carried of
as spoils. there Is still an immense deal Of
old furniture to be bought: some of It
splendid, some handsome and some Curl
Gus. but all OF tt useful. The getting 1t
home Is the difficulty, and unless one is
well prepared to submit to all the petty
vexatiorfs of custom houses and to bear the
expense cheerfuIly it seldom Is worth while.
never, perhaps, except in the case OF some
particularly lucky find.
Picking up at home Is a far pieasanter
task-pleasanter, as q lady remarked, be-
cause the things we come upon in our own
country are to the manner born and look
neither affected nor strange. but native and
natural.
Our MANIA as It is called by the scoffers.
for old furniture Is one of the best signs OF
returning good taste. The furniture that
was used in this country by our grand
fathers and great-grandfathers almost al
ways was well designed and perfectly fitted
for the uses to which 1t was to be put. The
wardrobes. clothes presses as they were
termed; the dressing tables, the tea ta-
handsome. lighted up with brass handles
and key plates serviceabiy designed.
The old-Fashioned-
Work basket. but larger and better equip
ped is one of the necessities of a we'll
ordered house. The basket should be COM
modious enough to hold the weeks darning
the essentials for household mending. The
baskets set upon stand with handle to
carry them from room to room did not
prove to be the convenience they promised
They were topheavy and too easily upset
The best style Is fat one, either round or
ob1ong, and provided with cover.
AS to its equipment, In the first place It
should be lined neatly with some material
not light enough to be soiled too easily
Then the sides should be furnished with
bags and pockets to hold everything that
may be required for the weeks mending
Bags with drawstrings are best for buttons
and hooks and eyes, and If they are stu
diousiy attended to no time ever need be
lost looking for these articles.
Pockets can hold papers of the different
kinds of needles, and small emery should
be suspended by the side of it for those
needles that have been used. A pocket OF
the proper size also is the best receptacle
for the scissors and bodkins.
A spool rack. consisting OF slender wire
and long enough to hold several spools, Is
another necessary adjunct to the basket.
1t saves the annoyance of having the spooIs
drop out on the floor and roll out of reach.
Where the basket is oblong an effective
spool rack can be made by stringing the
spools on a slender ribbon fastened taut
across one end of the basket.
When the hosiery is brought from the
laundry 1t should be folded inside the basket
and covered up until mending day comes
around When the basket Is brought out IL
is a real Joy to know that there is no hunt
ing for paraphernalia. Everything is right
at hand. s

The Daily Care
of the polished floors Is perhaps greater
than that of the carpet, but this daily care
Is so simple and the outlay of time and
strength small that 1t il slight when
compared with the amount Of strength and
time one must give carpeted room.
II the room is much used 1t must be swept
| first with soft hair brush. then wiped
with a long-handled dust mop. which
comes for the purpose and also ID konwn
as yacht mop. When a room is not
much used the dust mp alone sufices. II
there are spots on the floor they should be
rubbed with a piece of flannel or carpet
II this does not remove them they may be
cleaned with a little turpentine on a piece
of CLOTH This takes off the polish, and ii
will be necessary to rub the spot with a
| cloth moistened with encaustic or oil, &C.
| cording to the finish, and then polish it.
Once week all the spots should be
wiped clean, and cloth moistened with
encaustic, oil or turpentine should be
| rubbed on any parts of the floor where
the polish has worn Off: then the floor
should be rubbed with a weighted brush.
This weekly treatment is only for rooms
much used
floor that thoroughly is cleaned and
pohsHea TWICE year can be kept In beau
tlful condition by this weekly care
Small. smooth rugs should not be put at
doors or on hall floors where one is apt 10
walk quickly and without thinking. There
is no danger where the rug is large and
heavy. The coarse Japanese rug Is excellent
because 1t does not slip easily on the pol
ished surface.
In caring for a hardwood floor it must be
remembered that water is one of the worst
things that can be used If at any time
there should seem to be necessity for clean
ing with water 1t must be only by means
of soft cloth wrung out of warm water
1t must also be rubbed with another dry
one. Then it should be oiled or polished at
once Any liquid spilled upon a waxed
floor and allowed to dry of itself will pro-
duce stain which can only be removed
by hard rubbing and the encaustic Even
drops of clean water will spot waxed floor
unless they are wiped at once.
picking Up
Furniture is of the best ways of fur
nishing house. produces the prettiest re-
suit and is cheap pest in the end.
1t would not be bad notion to try the
Paris plan of hiring furniture. You can
hire it then of any quality. for a month.
or a year, or lifetime, and clear it out
by degrees.
But in default OF such provision for our
human needs, let the young couples try
getting the cheapest things that will hold
and using them till they can be one by one
replaced the new installed for long voy-
age and the old ones going to some poor
neig hbor.
This suggestion is not whimsical; it has
been tried and found most satisfactory.

The Rainy Day.

The Rainy Day.
The resourcefui person. the one who can
improvise some kind of pleasing diversion
for the off days or rainy ones In the summer
home can make herself verttable godsend
at such a time.
The warm bright days are filled with their
own amusements; golf. tennis. bathing.
rowing the regular concomitants or
pleasant weather, but when the rains de-
scend and the cold winds blow and all are
driven for the time inside OF the house
person who Is gifted with the art of fur
nishing amusements to sult the occasion
shines like star on cloudy night
A little attention and practice Is all that
Ia required to make one an adept in such
matters, and the result more than pays Tor
the time expended There is nothing new
under the SUM- and all that one has to do
Is to make herself familiar with the many
kinds of pastimes that are extant and pre-
sent them in an attractive manner at the
proper time.
Sometimes those that are so old that they
have fallen into dsuse can be brought out
again with all the freshness of something
new. Many the great writer's have left
anagrams, Iogograms and various sorts OF
riddles that can be propounded to freside
company and afford much entertainment.
Lord Macauley has furnished the world
with some of the choicest specimens OF this
kind of word puzzles; Charles James Fox.
William Pitt and Lord Byron have also
given us choice collection.
A number of attractive conundrums can
be found by such noted men as Archbishop
Whately, Mark Lemon. the noted editor OF
Punch, and the English statesman, George
Canning.
1t can be made a matter of surprise and
Information that such illustrious men have
condescended to such trivial entertainment,
and 1t will suggest that the members of the
summer home circle can show their origi-
nality by composing others for the dull
days yet to come.
Card games are too familiar to need more
than passing notice, although even in this
a variety viii give something that all have
not tired of Games that consist in the
guessing OF names of flowers and the
authors OF well-known quotations are also
much enjoyed
When a member of summer home Is
thus versatile in her ability to entertain,
and can also concoct dainty little dishes to
