FLOWERS IN SILK
QUICKLY MADE
Hints for Those Who Enjoy Making
Artificial Petals.

Artificial flowers in silk are quickly
made but require a light. artistic
touch. and sure eye. For making a
rose five inches in diameter about 30
inches of taffeta or soft satin will
have TO be cut on the bias carefully,
so as 10 produce. when the various
pieces are sewn together. a band four
inches wide and three and one-quar-
ter yards long. Fold it into two;
this strip is slightly gathered along
the raw edges into scallops. which
are further defined by the cutting out
into shape of the border just a little
below the thread There are no
petals. The modelling is executed in
the same way as in crepe flowers,
with a single piece of some shiny
material.
Now a three-yard band has 10 be

A calyx is added when the flower
is intended TO ornament a vase. but
il is dispensed with for a hat or dress

by a silk waiter being put on. across
which are fixed two wire stems or
stalks, tipped at either end with
green leaves projecting effectively all
around the brilliant blossom.
Clever workers occasionally do
some striking shading. which has TO
be decided on when cutting out the
band from either a single piece or
several. according to the scheme Of

German Mode of Preserving MIX.

A German patent specification de-
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means OF the addition OF a small guam
tity of ferrors carbonate. The pro-
cess is based on the fact that freshly
precipitated ferrous carbonate in the
presence of oxygen Immediately as
Stimulates oxygen and evolves an
equivalent quantity OF carbon dioxide
One part Of ferrous carbonate is suf-
ficient for $4,000 parts of milk, and
the properties OF the milk are not
altered in any way by the addition.
which should be made before the
milk is boiled.

LUCKY STONE.
For 1909 is the Amethyst, a Charm
Against Intoxeation.

The prophet Zadkiel has just as

superstition that two mines in the fig

of the amethyst. since that gem is said
to denote sincerity. just as the opal
is supposed TO bring unkind happen

SCISSOR OF the greatest opal in the world
is also one of the most unlucky Of
mortals. He is the Emperor Joseph OF
Austria Hungary (from the latter OF
of which kingdoms opals are pro-
duced) and. according to the soothsay-
ers the sovereign's possession of an
opal weighing II ounces, and measur-
ing five inches by three, is said 10 be
the cause of his many sorrows. His
eldest son. Rudolph, committed sui

other son deserted the imperial home

Farmers are coming more and more
10 require for their country homes
the conveniences 10 be found in the
cities. and the Department OF Agri-
culture has prepared a publication TO
show them how they can equip their
homes with many of the conveniences

and closets. sewage disposal and
heating The farmer is shown how,
al a comparatively small expense, he
can supply his home with water by
means OF an elevated tank filled by
a hydraulic ram. a windmill or a
small engine. The best methods OF
disposing Of the sewage are explained
and illustrated Suggestions are
made regarding the laying out of
home grounds. the location OF build
ings and the remodeling OF homes al
ready built. The publication is known
as Farmers Bulletin No. 270. Mod
ern COnyeniences For the Farm
