STALKS OF SUNFLOWERS.
Used to Line Sides of BattIeships, as
They Absorb Much Water.

The suntiower. it seems. is used for
numberless purposes by different ma
lions. In this country, says the Chi
cage Tribune, ii is considered valuable
in the construction of battleships. the
stalks being pithy. and when compress
ed in blocks the pith absorbs a tremen-
dous quantity of water. These blocks
are made to line the battleships' sides
and placed between two walls of steel.
When it comes to the manufacture of
cigars there is not a part of the plant
without commercial value.
Then in Russia the seed is raised by
the millions of pounds each year and
makes quite an eatable oil, while the
residue Is turned into a seed cake for
the cattle. The blossoms furnish honey
and after that an excellent yellow dye.
The Chinese are successful in getting
from the stalks a silky fiber.

For Our Women Readers
IN THE SEWING ROOM.


After sewing hooks and eyes on n
placket press the hook and eye at the
end. SO it will not unfasten. and your
seam will never give way.
When cutting any garment from a
pattern try laying the whole pattern
on a cloth before cutting and study it
well. You will find you can cut to
better advantage when this is done.
In sewing braid on skirts leave
about three inches of the hem unfas-
tened, insert a piece Of cardboard in
the hem, and as the braid Is sewed on
slip the cardboard along. The stitches
will then be seen.
When children's waists become too
small or short or too small I'm the arm
hole rip the shoulder seam and set in
elastic webbing. This will not only
make the waist comfortable again.
but will give added length to the pet
ticoat.
A good plan when embroidering on
thin muslin or silk Is to tack a piece
OF soft muslin underneath and en-
broider through 1t. This keeps the
material from rucking up. and the
muslin Gun easily be cut away with
sharp scissors around the patterns
when finished.
Ii Is often difficult to make n but
tonhole In Il lace yoke that will hold.
A good plan is to basic a strip of lawn
under the lace before the ~buttonhole
Is cut. Then make the b%uttonhole and
work AZ usual. Now cut away the
lawn close to the stitches. and you
will find TINT you have a buttonhole
that Is strong.

OF Interest to the Young Folks
THE FUNNY TABLE ORATOR.
Two Persons Are Necessary to Make
This Successful.

When you or your parents have com
pany you can show them the table
orator. and thus afford them an even
ing's entertainment. To make this
orator two persons are required. A
doorway is the best place to xhibi
him. Draw a table TO the door ana
arrange the curtains so as to conceal
the person behind IT.. The speaking
actor then draws Il loose jacket around
him. his arms hanging down inside in
stead OF being In the sleeves. which
are pinned back out of sight. The as
sistant. who stands behind. places his
arms over the shoulders of the speak
ing actor: the latter thrusts his hands
into a pair of boots and rests them
upon the table. A hat is placed upon
his head. while a third person care
fully pins a shawl so as to conceal the
assistant. all but his arms. and ar
ranges the curtain in such a manner
rs TO allow nothing but the compound
manikin to be seen. The visible orator
makes some sou stirring speech. ges-
ticulating wildly. The hidden person
can scratch the orators head. blow his
nose or stroke his chin. He can suit
his speech to the audience present.
