LETTERING FOR THE LINEN
Many Old Designs and Shapes to Be
Found by Delving In the
Public Library.

I used TO spend many pennies having
monographs and initials stamped for
embroidery, whites contributor to
Good Housekeeping. Now, when wish
to mark linen, go to the public library
and get a book on lettering. There
are many old letters and unusual
shapes that the embroidery stampers
do not have to be found In these books.
I traced them from the book on tissue
paper, and at home marked through
carbon paper on to the linen. There
is a long, very thin letter that is es-
pecially pretty embroidered, and by
overlapping the letters 8 little, and
adding few extra lines to join them
together, / have made some fine mono
grams.

RaisinQ Raspberries.

There is no fruit more desirable or
more easily grown than the red or
black raspberries. The plants cost
little and one can get them for nothing
by making cuttings from wild bushes.
They are much more easily grown
than Strawberries. and are much less
trouble. The strawberry bed must be
hoed, trimmed and weeded regularly
or it will be completely covered up,
but the raspberry will produce luxuri-
antly under adverse conditions and
even downright neglect.

Buy your plants from adrsery man

having the plants about two and one

nursery, firm the soil well and water
occasionally for week or two.
The ground should have a liberal
covering OF stable manure before turn

one-fourth of pound of a mixture Of
bone meal, three parts and muriate OF

portion each year, keep the ground
cultivated and you should have heavy
crops of large, juicy berries every
year.
Beds located in exposed positions in
very cold climates will need to have
the canes laid down and covered with
earth and straw during the winter.
When the bushes are properly
pruned and fertilized, it will not be
necessary to support them, but there
are many advantages in tying the
canes up to wire supports.
Be careful in the pruning. After
the first year cut all Of the old canes
out as soon as they have fruited. AT
the same time cut out surplus and
feeble canes In the early spring cut
out all canes which have been winter
killed and trim all remaining stalks
about a third.
Rust and anthracnose are the most
common diseases. Spray with Bor-
deaux for the first one and cut out and
burn the diseased canes if rust ap-

by spraying with hellebore Or arsenate
of lead.

plants in landscape art is to screen
and soften mechanical features, to hide
unsightly objects, to blend together
into a harmonious whole, various dis
Cordant elements
Varieties are a matter of taste, and
ton Of proper location for vines, you
will not go far wrong, from an ar
tistic standpoint. The truth is that
good vines are almost always in har-
mony, no matter where they are
placed. Use them freely where you
have bare place
Many an untidy fence can be made
into 3 bower Of delight by properly
placed vines. The honeysuckles, wood
bine from the deep woods, Kudzu vine,
wild grape, clematis paniculata, and
many others, can be secured at a tri-
hardy.
In the more southern states, Smith
hybrid moon-vine Is particularly de-
lightful
The jewel of porch climbers is the
Jackmanii type Of clematis. White,
in reckless profusion, and if you
are careful to get strong pot-grown
plants, plant them in a rich, deep
earth, without disturbing the roots,
and do your transplanting about June
l, you will almost certainly succeed
Be sure to plant in sunny spot,
where water from the caves will not
compact the earth. Water well until
the plant gets good start.

middle of summer. This plant in
creases so rapidly that one must be
careful to prevent it's crowding out
other less aggressive neighbors.
Scarlet runner beans are a great ia
vorite in northern chimes for yearly
planting, as are the wild cucumbers
with their tracery leaves and tendrils
and their cool prickly fruit pods
OF course where climbing roses can
be successfully grown, there is abso-
iutely nothing to compare with them
in their gorgeous magniflcence, They
call for the same soil conditions and
care as bush roses, but they are less
hardy as q rule in the inland and
northern states
In the eastern states and anywhere
that cool, moist summer and even
winter temperature prevails. the Eng
lish Ivy grows In profusion. Nothing
can be more satisfactory, particularly
in connection with stone or brick
structures of massive appearance. 1t
seems to live forever in hospitable
environments, and it will frequently
cover an entire house, even to the
chimney top. It is well to prevent it
from covering wooden surfaces, how
ever, as its thick foliage holds moist
ure and hastens the decay of the
wood, the rusting Of nails, etc.
Many ways Of supporting vines are
used, from strings to graceful wooden
trel1ises. Chicken wire may be used to
advantage, and will last a number OF
years.

WORKING the Land,

REVIVED BY PULM0TOR
Gas Victim May Owe Recovery
to the Emergency's
First Trial.

Should William Lane, seventy-seven
years old, former lumberman at Osl-
kosh, Wig, who was found unconscious
from gas poisoning In room at 1915 E
street northwest yesterday afternoon, re-
cover from his experience he will owe his
recovery to the work Of the pulmotor
recently installed in the Emergency Hos
pital ambulance. This afternoon at
Emergency Hospital favorable reports re-
garding the patients condition were re-
ceived.
The pulmotOr was installed in the serv-
ice last Friday and yesterday when a call
was received at the hospital for the gas
case DR.. Harry Lewis. superintendent,
and DR.. Arthur Zinkhan, one of his as
sistants, rushed the automobile ambu-
lance to the street address, hurried the
patient into the vehicle and put the in
strument in operation.
While DR.. Lewis operated the pulmotor
his assistant administered strychnine
enough to restore heart action and by the
time the hospital was reached the patient
showed signs of improvement, although
he was far from being able to talk
1t was about 1870 o'clock when the
| unconscious man was found. and it was
about four hours later that he was
able to give his name and tell his
daughters address. DR.. Lewis recalled
| that inquiry had been made at the hos
pital for him Saturday night, his
| daughter having thought he had been
| taken sick on the street and removed
| to a hospital.
Inquiries were made at all the hospi-
| tails and a number of hotels and board
| ing houses for the missing man, but no
trace Of him was found. When he was
| found unconscious in the hotel room
there was nothing in his pockets to
| indicate his identity. his effects con-
sisting of a two-dollar bill and several
cartridges wrapped in paper.
| AS soon as the identity of the patient
| was established his daughter was told
Of his whereabouts. She went to the
hospital and saw her father. Miss Lane
suggested that her father. unaccustom-
ed to using gas. probably had blown
out the gas before retiring.
1t is thought he became lost in the
| business section after leaving his
daughters home at 1877 u street north
| west. and went to the hotel rather than
ask questions and return home late at
night.
