FOR THE ~DINiNG-RooM.
Attractive Treatment in Old Style
Flemish Oak.

The sketch shows a most attrac-
tive wall treatment for a dining-room.
The wood-trim of the room was or
black oak, the furniture being in early
mission style. The wall space was
naneled with wood, which supported
a plate shelf six inches broad. On
this sself were placed a few choice
bits of brass or pottery. The wall
spaces between these panels were
done in roughened plaster, finished in
soft. sellowish brown.
Above the plate shelf a picture
frieze was used, the colorings in the
frieze being principally in soft
browns, greens and soft yellows, he
figures being brought out in vague
reds, grays, violet, mauye and purple.
Many of these friezes come in sets
of three figures, so that the same fig-
ure need not be repeated, the frieze
being so made that it is possible to
fill out additional space with more

landscape design. For instance, the
frieze pictured represented a knight
and lady engaged in the old-time sport
of falcon flying. Each section of
frieze was IS feet long by 80 inches
wide, the first strip showing the two
figures on horseback, with a back
ground of sky, trees and woods. The
second panel portrayed the lady gal

knight holding the hounds in leash.
With this frieze came additional ex-

PRETTY Lamp Shade

A pretty lamp shade a be made
with wire net interlaced with gold
cord and beads. 1t is necessary to cut
the net in circular shape, making an
opening to go v e. the lamp chimney.
The disk must be cut SO as to form a
funnel shape when fastened together.
With gold thread I'll the threaded
needle through the net meshes,
placing a bead on each stitch, and
form a short fringe of small beads in
bright colors around the bottom of the
shade. When completed, finish the
top with a row of big round beads. 1t
will be necessary to run heavy wires
across the top to prevent the shads
from touching the chimney.

of rules and regulations which to
healthy children must be most aggra-
waiting and annoying.
The princess Elizabeth, daughter of
the queen of Bohemia. has left in her
letters an account of the name in
which she was obliged to approach
the dinner table when she and her
brothers and sisters were receiving
their education in Holland.
The children had their dinner at IL
o'clock. The boys entered the dining
room first and formed in a line while
their teachers and gentlemen in wait
ing" lined up behind them. Then came
in the little ~princesses.
Each princess, as she entered the
room made deep curtsey to her broth
ers, to which they responded with a
low bow. Then the princess curtseyed
again to the schoolmasters and others
behind the princess, but not so low
as to her brothers.

Straiuht Row For Cotton.

If the land for cotton is level, roll
ing, straight rows of course are out
of question. But whether level or roll
ing, all rows can be of even width,
and this has a great deal to do with
cheap cultivation, as subsequent
events will show. At a recent meet
ing of about one hundred cotton farm
ers, / requested that every one pres
ent who could lay off a straight row
to hold up his hand, and only about
ten or twelve responded. What would
you think, brother farmers, if in a
meeting of one hundred physicians
only ten knew how to stitch up a
wound or set a fracture?-S. II.

die will then float just like a piece of
straw. The reason of this is that a
meniscus, or bed, CONVEX OF one side,
and concave on the other, is formed
upon the surface of the water, and the
surface of this meniscus, being large
in comparison with that of the needle.
the latter is supported by it, so that
scarcely any part of the needle touches
the water; Of course. If the water
penearates the needles eye, the weight
of the fluid would cause the needle to
sink Immediately. Another method,
says Montreal Herald, is to put a leaf
of cigarette or tissue paper on the
surface of a tumbler of water, lay a
needle very gently upon the paper,
which will soon become soaked and
sink to the bottom of the glass, leav-
ing the needle floating on the top of
the water.

SPRAYING For coddIinq Moth.

The coddling moth is very destruc-
tive to the apple crop, and the time to
destroy this pest is when the blossoms
have fallen in the spring. Mix one
pound of paris green with two pounds
of freshly slaked lime and add to these
100 gallons of water, and spray so as
to fill each calyx or blossom cup with
the liquid. Insect pests are so
numerous that it is practically i'm
possible to grow an average crop of
fruit without spraying the trees thor
oughly. 1t will pay the fruit grower
to watch the trees carefully.
