cross stitch is the working in of the
understitch in one direction and the
crossing of every top stitch in the
other direction.
On only few materials Of a canvas,
scrim or basket weave and perchance
linen or burlap of unusual evenness
can the work be done without this
penelope canvas. Cross stitching is
quite as dependent upon the design as
any other of the embrOideries. 1t may
be just plain monotonous or else posi-
lively fascinating in the way the pat
tern develops.
The bib illustrated is bit of cross
work with design of blue peacocks
comfortably perched on their red fence.
The hemstitching on this linen hucka-
back is no finer than the hand done
hem about the neck. and even the
tapes are finished Mt the ends.

simple of all the garments ON which
this cross work may be shown, but It
serves quite rs well as any other to
prove the why's and wherefores Of nice
cross stitching.

Significant Action of Govern

Company Rapid Service
and Cheaper Rates.

New York, June 25.-Several months
ago a bill was introduced in the Mas
sachusetts legislature requiring tele-
graph companies to forward with ey
cry telegram the exact time it was
filed for transmission. 1t was contend
ed that this would insure a prompter
service on the part Of the telegraph
companies; that it would give the re-
ceiver of the message the satisfaction
of knowing how long it had been in
transit, and, finally. that this is pre-
cisely what the government does with
letters. Notwithstanding the opposl-
tion of the old telegraph companies
the bill became law, to take effect Jane

A circular order was issued by the
Western Union company to its Office

will be transmitted as a part of the
check and will be counted and charged
for as extra words"
The Postal Telegraph company also
intlmated its intention to make this
extra charge.
This action on the part of the 'tele-
graph trust aroused storm of indig-
nation all over the state. and immedi-
ate action was taken TO amend the
bill to compel the companies to carry
the filing time free Of charge. The
press is commenting in very strong

1t is entirely clear that the objection OF
the telegraph companies is not to the eX-
pense or trouble involved A very simple
system of code signals would enable the
companies to place the time of filingeupon

would not be required. Two or three code
letters over the wire would accomplish
the result at nominal expense and trouble.

REVIVAL OF CROSS STITCH.
An Absurdy Easy Embroidery That is

Cross stitching is "one of those alb

can do" Yet enc rarely sees an en-
tirely satisfactory piece Of this old

but under the watchful eye Of quaint
mother Of the olden times, you will
find contrary to your expectation, that
even she did not know how The
cross is seldom made so that each and
every top stitch slants but one way
and the same way There is an intan-
gible method in cross stitching that
produces the perfect piece of work,
just as there is in knitting. No second
person can take it up and continue eX-
actly as it was begun.

panies is that the stating OF the time OF
filing a message would reveal the long
and ineXcusable delays to which messages
are often subjected.
But the reason why the telegraph is
used at all is to save time in transmit
ting message. and when the public pays
for such expedition Il certainly has
right to know whether the service for
which it pays Is rendered. In telegraph
systems abroad IL Is customary to fur
nish such Information without charge
and there is no good reason why it should
not be done here In fact there should
not only be a state law but a national
law requiring Il. so that reasonable
promptness in handling Interstate mes
sages wouldsalso be assured.
For some months new independent
telegraph company. the Teepost, has
been operating commercially in Mas.
sachusetts and other New England
states. one OF the features Of this
new telegraph company's service is
the carrying Of the filing time free of
charge on all It's messages. and this
is being done between all points
reached by its lines both in the East
and Middle West
BY this system messages are trans.
mitted Mt the enormous speed of 1000
words minute over any one wire.
thus enabling the company to do busi.
ness Mt fraction CT the cost to the
older companies which operate by the
old method of hand transmission.
Not only does the Telepost company
carry the fling time free, but 1t sends
a telegram Of twenty-five words for
,sf Il .g4 nj IL
has introduced a new service of fifty
words for % cents known as Tele-
posts. which are transmitted by wire
and delivered at destination through
the United States mail A ten word
ten cent message known as a Telecard
is treated in the same way as Tele-
post and delivered on a postcard.
Judging from the situation which
has arisen in Massachusetts and the
manner in which it has been met by
the Western Union and Postal compa-
MES. II would seem that the public
can look for little relief in the matter
of quicker service or cheaper rates
from these companies.
The Importance of this Telepost sys.
tenn cannot be OverestimatCd. and II f.
significant that the United States pat
ent office is exhibiting the system III

building at Seattle exposition as one
of the most wonderful of modern IN
ventions carrying a basic patent. 1t is
the only exhibit of advancement in the
Geographic art.
For some time during the last SEES
sion of congress there was demand
made for government control Of tele-
graphs, and possibly the present inter
est of the government In the Telepost
system is not unconnected with that
demand. but the Telepost company
states that its system is not for sale.

for connecting up the east and west,
