Strengthen Carpet EDGES.

When carpets are made at home
they will last much longer if the edg-
es are strengthened properly. These
T bound to ravel the first time the
carpet goes through it's annual beat
ing unless they have been sewed firm
1y.
After the breadths of the new car
pet have been sewed together take
a needle threaded with strong linen
thread and overcast the carpet-not
in the ordinary way. Begin at the
edge and take two or three stitches
down into the carpet, as if to darn it.
Then take the same number of stitch
es back in a slanting direction. When
you go to the edge again bring the
thread over it and run the needle
through the carpet from the under
side. This process is a combination.

SPECIAL FARMING.

Almost all Of the farmers in our
county have given up keeping neat
stock and sheep, ard are giving their
attention to growing potatoes. They
are keeping just cows and hogs
enough for their own use.
= Milk and butter are scarce and beef
is being imported from the West to
supply our markets. Butter has also
been brought in from the creameries
IN the western part of the State. Our
spring is very backward and farmers
are behind in their work. Not nearly
IS much blowing was done last fall as
usual, consequently more had to- be
lone this spring, thus making a me-
;essity for more horses which have
been brought in here in large num-
5ers, and have sold for high prices,
ranging from 800 to $500 per pair-F.

Homemade Portieres.

Beautiful Bagdad curtains may be
easily fashioned at home for use in
the library or den. .
They are made as follows; Take
burlap the desired shade, 40 inches
wide, for the foundation. Divide by
basting threads into five equal length
wise parts. gt
Cross-stitch each strip over four
threads of burlap, with a different
color of Germantown yarn.
Cream, terra Gotta, blue, brick-red,
and nile green are all effective shades
to use for this purpose. :
Hang the portieres from a dead
black pole, with rings to correspond.
These curtains need no lining, and
are just as satisfactory as real Bag
dad, and when cost is considered, more
so.-Pittsburg Press.

Ironing Gloves.

Every woman who has ever put a
warm iron on silk knows the effect is
a disastrous one, yet seams must be
pressed fiat.
Accomplished taflors and dressmak-
ers obtain the desired result by pass
ing the open seam over the edge of
an iron which is just warm enough to
leave it fat.
Such treatment does not involve
any serious amount of labor, while it
leaves the silk unframed. If the gar
ment is a large one it can sometimes
be held taut by two persons, while a
third passes the point of the iron over
the seams.-New York American.

Fly Aoaoss THs ATLANTIC.
How DO They Cross 1000 Miles Of

FL
How DO They Cross 1000 Miles OF
Water2
The occurrence OF American birds
In this country raises the interesting
question. How do they cross the in
tervening 1000 miles of ocean? Can
we. suppose a bird is capable OF sus-
tanned flight for a Sufficiently long
period to accomplish this? On the
suppositien that this yellow shank can
fly at the rate of $50 miles an hour.
it would accomplish the distance in
IA hours. And then it must be re-
membered that this bird. being a
wader, would be able to rest from
time to time on the water. AS regards
the migratory Journeys some interest
ing computations are to be found In
Katke's "Heligoland Is an Ornith-
illogical Observatory" His figures are
125 miles an hour for the hooded
crow, 208 for the Northern blue throat
and. 245 for the Virginia plover. At
the latter rate the Atlantic could be
crossed in about eight and three-quar-
ter hours. Some six other American
birds, including the red-crested snipe
and the Eskimo curIey, are recorded
from the Scilly Islands.
Other American birds, including the
yellow-billed cuckoo, have been re-
corded in Ireland, and in connection
with the crossing of the Atlantic by
American birds it is interesting to
note an apparent attempt to cross in
the opposite direction. In a British
association report for 1887 we read:
fAt Rathlin O'Rine (West Donegan)
immense focks of birds-starlings,
thrushes and field fares-passed west
from Dec. Is to %. The nearest land
to the west of this rock island is
American. This is not an isolated
occurrence. The westerly flight Of
land birds at stations OF the ives.

Care of a Bath Room.

The bathroom should have special
attention daily, and once a week a
thorough cleaning.
The floor should be of tiles. or of
hard WOO stained or painted. Of
course, there should be a rug or two.
The japanese cotton rug is pretty and
cheap.
Every morning the wash basin
should be washed clean, as well as
the bowl in the closet. Then the
bathtub should be washed and wiped
dry.
Dust the room and put the damp
towels in a place where they will dry
before being put in the hamper.
= Once a week give the room a thor
0ugh cleaning. Wash the toilet arti-
Cles. Wash all the marble with soap
and water, and if there be any spots,
that are not easily removed, put a
little sandsoap on tbs wash cloth and
rub the spot well.
Rub the bathtub with whiting, wet
with ammonia, then wash with plenty
of hot water and wipe dry.
Never use for the bathtub sandsoap
or any substance that will scratch IN
less it be a porcelain tub, in which
case no harm will be done.
Clean the faucets with whiting.
