$4,000 TONS OF cuRRANTs.
Brltons Seem to Be Exceptionally
Fond of This Fruit.

Our great-grandmothers. although
they had to pay very high price for
dried eurrants, considered them quite
indispensable to the compromising OF
those pies, furmities and fiorentines
which were the pride Of every house
wife. Domestic catering must have
been an arduous undertaking in those
days, for currants and other dried
fruits were not to be procured out OF
London except once year. at the an
nual fair of the local market town

which 1t was the privilege OF the
archbishop of Canterbury to serve
to a newly crowned sovereign, was
composed largely of eurrants, the fruit
being stewed in strong beef soup eur
riehed with red wine and red sack.
Now that the order has changed and
simplicity is the keynote of the high
est class cookery, We Britons have
trebled our appreciation of the home
ly and wholesome currant; and al
though florentines and plum porridge
are dishes OF the past, no less than

PRETTY WORK FOR THE MO.
MENTs OF REST.
Stitch Work on Canvas One Of the
Most Popular Of All Employed
silhouettes Now Largely
Used for Decorations.

Among the fashionable summer
needlework that is finding place on |
almost all the verandas during the |
hours when women rock and talk
pleasantly of their friends and sew,
the canvas cushion cover or pillow |
slip is perhaps the most popular item
The cross stitch work on canvas Is
most popular revival because 1t Is
easily done and rather quickly done
and the results are very elaborate. MI
Of the old patterns which were fash
iouable in our grandmother's day are
now being revived.
The same remarkable dogs, cats,
groups of animals, landscapes and
punches of strange, stiff flowers are
appearing on to-day's fashionable pill
low slips meant for use on couches.
One side Of the slip is made of plain
silk. linen or 'chintz usually, and the
front is covered with the canvas pic
lure work Besides the scenic coy
ers and those ornamented with the de-
signs described there are many in
which conventional scroll work or
similar geometrical pattern is
wrought with shaded woods. The can
vas used for these cushions since wool
is employed in embroidering them Is
very coarse.
Another sort of work which is quite
popular is the decorating OF linen
cushions and covers with designs in
which silhouettes appear. The de-
signs are of the French miniature pc.
Rod, done in colored linen thread, and
the silhouette or miniature Is usually
in black.
On a table cloth or cushion slip there
should not be more than four or siN
of these silhouettes, and these shoule
be framed by circles of colored EN-
broidery, the rest Of the design tina
converges toward the silhouettes be
ing in garlands and forming the con
nection between the miniatures. Thi
style of embroidery is particular,
popular on the colored linens an

A CANINE MOTOR FIEND.
Pittsburg Dog Jumps Aboard Any Auto

Pittsburg. This city has canine
automobile enthusiast. He is black
bull terrier, now quite old, who at
tached himself to the fortunes of DR..
M. W. Everson in puppyhood.
The dog, whose name is Jack fire.
quently accompanied DR.. Gverson on
automobile spins, and was unmistak-
ably grieved when the physician sew
eral years ago dispensed with his mo-
tor car.
He allayed his sorrow by romping
alongside of passing automobiles and
eventually had the nerve to jump into
one. The driver did not resent the In.
trusion and from that time Jack has
spent his days repeating the trick
He has become quite a favorite with
automobilists.
Jack does not like noisy car and
when riding in one will make a quick
shift If a quieter vehicle happens
along. He has no use for a wine
shield either, preferring to stand witt
his front feet on the dashboard, feed
ing on wind with evident relish wher
he is not barking. His bark is prett!
constant, however, and the driver who
has him as a passenger Is not obhget
too toot his horn to any extent.

FARM ITEMS.

Do not wait for the wagon to whis-
tie for grease before putting it on.
We are told that in bnilding the
great dam which holds back the wa
ters of the Nile for irrigation. fiocks of
sheep and goats were driven back and
forth to pack down the earth. A roller
with teeth like sleeps hoof has now
been invented for packing oiled roads.
The Connecticut experiment station
states that 5000 tons of cotton-seed
meal are annually used as fertilizer by
tobacco growers in that state at cost
of $4,000. In 1899 the acreage cost
was s22.S0 per ton, making nitrogen
cost 1873 cents a pound Last year
the price had risen to $31 per ton of
meal or 1914 a pound for nitrogen.

COOL AND DAINTY NEckwEAR.
Pretty Ways of Dressing the Neck
Without Discomfort.

The woman who dresses her neck
neatly can be forgiven great many
other faults. and there are many ways
of doing this without enduring any
great discomfort The linen collar is
probably the most practical of all, and
is seen this summer in great variety.
Most of them are embroidered In blind
work or eyelet and with them are
worn soft lingerie ties or bows. Get
size and not too high. They are the
coolest things you can wear and still
look neat The high gloss of the
starch seems to resist the perspiration
and feels cool to the skin. Little pro
lection or rundown collars, while
they are not particularly new, still
find favor now and then. but that
means you must wear a silk stock.
and, with white blouses. this Is TO be
avoided.
| Another dainty and cool fashion
that has asserted itself is the wearing
OF soft lawn and null ties with EN-.
broidered or hemstitched ends. These

neck twice-by that I mean place the
middle of the tie under the chin, carry
1t around the neck, cross 1t at the bach
and tie the bow in front You car

these ties to keep them upright, ant
pin them fast TO your blouse with I
fancy pin.
The young girl and the debutant'
have things pretty much their owl
way, as soft rolling collars are almos
universally worn by them. These arr
finished off with a Windsor tie o
piece of ribbon to harmonic with TIL
dress they are wearing. High stool
collars and four=in-hand stocks ar
seldom seen any more. which Is
blessing for nothing could have bee
more heating to the throat than thos
made of heavy English madras tina
were worn so much at one time.
The lingerie bow of nainsook, law
or null has taken the place of sill
bows and these are easily made q
home from bits of material and scrap
of laces that have been left over.

Honest Jap Servant Rewarded by In
diana Mans Estate.

New Albany, Ind-Nearly $1,000 in
gold, silver and greenbacks was found
several days ago in the basement of
the house at Los Angeles, Cal, built
by the late Merrill A. Weir, a native
of Salem. Ind, and for many years
cashier of the New Albany National
bank in this city, who died two years
ago his wife dying few months later
The money was found by Japanese,
George Mokogowa, who had been en-
ployed to clean up the premises by A
tenant. The latter gave the money,
amounting to $975, to the administra-
tor of Mrs. Weir's estate. The admin.
istrator of Mr.. Weir's estate was also
notified. and by agreement $500 was
given to the honest Jap and the re.
mainder was turned into the joint es
tate.
1t was common talk in the neigh
borhood of the Weir home that money
was hidden about the premises. and
the occupants of the house were fire
quently bothered by persons asking
permission to dig in the garden Mr.

WORK HARD AND DON'T WORRY.
Rules for Living to be 100 Given ny
Mrs. Brown, Who is 1o5.

Worcester, Mass.-Mrs. Johanna
Harper Brown, who ceieprat-
ed her 1O5th birthday recently, de-
livered a short lecture on the vaiue
of hard work for prolonging ones
days The boys and girls have too
easy a time, Mrs. Brown thinks. ana
depend too much upon their elders
to clothe and feed them.
Plenty of hard work is good medi-
cine, according to Mrs. Brown. ana
she adds that IL she had not worked
hard all her life she would have been
dead long ago. She thinks it better
for a woman to work hard than TO
waste her energy carrying a poodle
dog.
"A great fault Of most women to-day
is that they worry too much. said
Mrs. Brown. Worrying isn't going TO
help them at all and always made
practice not to worry and fret.
Just take things as they come, and
take it easy. When women do that
they will live to be as old as | am. y
Mrs. Brown is also certain that the
same rule applied to man VIII lehsth
en- his days.
Mrs. Brown was born in Montreal
and came to Massachusetts, "a years
ago, making the trip overland by wag
on and on horseback. She was OF
family of six children and the mother
OF eight. Her hearing is perfect, she
reads newspapers without glasses and
daily climbs flight of stairs unaidet
to visit neighbors in the house OF
1 Lake street, where she lives with he
daughter.
She believes in the old order Q
meals, breakfast at Z, lunch at nooI
and supper at 6.
At the birthday celebration Their
were 80 descendants of Mrs. Brow
present and I'VE generations we're reI
resented.

which should be of three-quarter inch
boards. The legs are mortised into the
shaft or handle pieces. the front ones
resting about three inches from the
ground and the rear ones securely
braced, as shown in the cut.
If desired the sides may be built
from the floor solid and straight up,
but we find it better to have per
manent bed from floor to top OF han
dies, with removable side boards to
slip on for use in handling bulky
stuff.
Heavy material, such as bags OF
fertilizer, large stones, etc, are easily
handled with this type Of barrow, as
they may be loaded between the
handles directly from the ground.
