tUi1b tie Needle and Thread.

Roman striped ribbons are used now
for trimming many Jumper suits for
girls and the same trimming will be
found on the jaunty street hat. The
ribbons were never used to better ad-
vantage. and they cleverly decorate the
dresses of pongee which are always in
need Of a toning effect. The harness
sffsot is very pretty made of a modest
striped material. The pIaids are used
for the same purpose and appear as
bands and outlines upon some elab-
CRATE costumes noticeable for bright
husd beauty touches.
A new and very attractive linen Is
used by art embroiderers. It Is in
basket weave. which presents the ef-
fact Of big squares of loose thread.
This material when made up into sofa
cushions is embroidered practically
solid with French embroidery ribbon,
ana the result is more beautiful than
words can express. Half the cushion,
for instance, from corner to corner, Is
worked in solid pink, while on this
daisies are arranged with artistic car
nations. On the other the background
of the pillow is made in white, while
pink primroses form the most attrac-
tive decoration. :
There is no finish around the edge
of these pillows ave the seam, for the
embroidery Is so beautiful that 1t re-
quires no further decoration.

The On. or OIL STOVE.

If ever an article should be owned by
every woman 1t is the oil or gasoline
stove. Where there is only a wood or
Goa stove the two or three burner stove
Is really a necessity for every house
wife.
I have never recommended a gasoline
stove because of the danger. though /
have used the gasoline and oil stove
and prefer the gasoline because 1t is
much cleaner and no odor arises from
the burning fluid.
But 1t Is extremely dangerous II one
Is not careful.
A stove should never be lighted until
one makes al examination to see that
there is no leakage. For this reason a
stove should not be placed where chill
dren Ear tamper with 1t n turn on
the gasoline.
Cover the table or box with oilcloth
and place a large piece Of oilcloth back
of the stove n on the floor.
Do not have 1t near any drapery or
close to a papered wall.
A stove Of this kind can be turned
off as soon as a mea is prepared and
the house will not be heated by its use.
For baking the reliable stove Is al
ways the best. The baker occasionally
works IN the oil or gasoline stove. yet
is subject to freaks and moods accord
Ing to the weather sometimes.
One bake day will be sufficient for
the week. unless there Is a great de-
mand for many baked foods.
One burner alone is sufficient II q
steam cooker is used.
It Is possible to prepare a big dinner
IN n steam cooker, practically every
thing necessary for a meal being
cooked in 1t with the exception Of
coffee.
1t is impossible to suggest having
cool rooms with a kitchen stove going
like a factory furnace the entire day.
But these few necessities lessen the
work and make household duties less
tedious.

Declaration Of Faith Made to Cove,
the Past, the Present and the
Future.

1t would be extremely unkind to
say that Mr.. Bryan is tickle In his
ioiitical pellef. His best friends
would be the last to make such an
assertion, for they realize thoroughly
that their leader. when he has once
implanted a convection firmly in his
mlnd, clings to it like grim death.
This Is especially true of Mr..
bryan's attitude on the silver ques-
ton through which he first rose to
prominence. He has very little to saw
ABOUT that question at present, but
mat he Is absolutely certain that
It is a subject of the greatest i'm
portance and that his own particular
financial panacea is the only safe
guide for the United States may be
plainly seen from the following ex-
tracts from his collected wisdom:
In an address at the jefferson Club
banquet at Lincoln, Neb., December
1t, 1900, Mr.. Bryan said
THE principles for which we con-
tended In the last campaign still live,
| and we who believe in them must
continue to fight for them. An cleo
tion does not change principles; it
only determines what principles shall
for the time being be applied"
In the North American Review, in
the same month. Mr.. Bryan recorded
this declaration of faith:
ITO consider this election as de-
cisive of the money question would
be as absurd as to have regarded the
election of 1896 as decisive of the
| tariff question. 1t would be more
reasonable to regard the late election
as conclusive upon the question of
| Imperialism or upon the trust ques-
ton, both Of which were discussed
more by our people than the money
question.
THE increased production OF gold
has lessened the strain upon gold,
and had to some extent brought the
relief which Democrats proposed to
bring in a larger measure by the re-
storation of silver; but there is no
assurances whatever that the gold
supply, even with the new discoveries,
will be sufficient to maintain the level
Of prices. Favorable conditions have
given us an abnormal share OF the
worlds supply of gold, but the
scarcity of the yellow metal abroad
Is already leading to the export of
gold, while the increase in the issue
Of banknotes is evidence that we are
still short Of money here. The Re-
publicans defend the gold standard
not by logic, but by giving it credit
for better times. When prosperity
fails, the gold standard will lose its
charm"
