NEW IDEA FOR KNITTING.
Drawnwork Effect ls Always Pretty
and Effective.

A drawnwork effect in knitting is
extremely pretty and effective and is
sure to be appreciated. AS an ex-
ample of this new and snowy style Of
knitting ta..e a baby afghan knit in
strips.
Cast 40 stitches on coarse steel
knitting needle, with zephyr or Ger
mantown yarn. Knit in squares, five
stitches plain, FIVE puzzled, for five
rows. Reverse the plain and puzzled
stitches so as to form plain and
puzzled squares. When the strip is
long enough, bind off, dropping every
fifth stitch. Ravsl every drop stitch
down to the end. Then with an en-
broidery needle proceed to hemstitch
each edge, or to take up five threads
at time, making simple hour
glass drawn work pattern. Amy sim
pie drawnwork design can be worked;
the process is easy and the effect
fine.
Another pretty design 10 to knit
plain and purl every alternate row,
back and forth. and when the strip
10 long enough drop two stitches In
the middle, then ravel to the end and
hemstitch.

HEROISM IN ANIMALS.
illustrated by a Ram That Defende
a Flock of Sheep.

Iuustrated by n Ram That Defend d
n Flock of Sheep.
A writer on natural history COM
plains that men are prone to regard
masculine courage in defense of others
as virtue purely human. In reality,
self sacrificing for the female sex or
for the young is part Of the scheme of
nature, and every male thing is strong
and splendid in appearance because
he Is the descendant of those who have
proudly held and guarded 1.-The privi-
lege of death" Another writer tells a
story which illustrates this point. Two
entomologists, hunting at night, clam
bered over a gate with their swinging
lanterns and found themselves In q
field filled with sheep. The result of
their coming was panic and a furious
stampede. The sheep charged heller
huddled together at the far end Of the
field. But there was a ram among
them, and as the flock scurried away
this creature stood firm, covering the
retreat. Then, steadily and majestical-
", the huge ram advanced with lower
ed head toward the mysterious lights
and pressed them back to the gate.
This is only one graphic story Of many
that might be told of masculine cour-
age throughout nature. Man has some
virtues which animals, so far as we
can judge. know nothing about, but
heroism-the pride Of affording protec-
ton TO the weak and daring death for
the security Of the fiock-is not hui
man attribute alone any more than is
maternal affection.
