How to Mend Furniture.

Dry rot is very common in old furni-
ture, and sometimes a piece is too good
to throw away. The weak part can be
strengthened in this way: Scrape the
rotten wood from the piece of furni-
ture, then spray the part with coal oil.
Make mixture of beeswaX, melted
rosin and sawdust and fill the holes.
This will harden and make perfect
wood cement. If the wood is a dark
mahogany color add some melted seal
ing wax to the mixture; keep it hot
when applying it to the wood. When
vanished it does not show the patch
When round breaks in a chair do
not remove the back or leg of the
chair. wherever the damage is done.
Pull the round from the chair, repair if
it is possible, then with an anger make
one of the holes half inch deeper.
This will allow the round to slip down
into the deepened hole. after which the
opposite end can be lifted in place and
glued.
The piece should lie fat while drying.
or the round will slip out of place.
This saves the trouble o. removing
other parts to remedy one small break.

How to Make Clothes For Stout Ed
erly Women.
There is decidedly difficult task
Ipfore many generously developed wo-
zen how to look well and yet not run
counter to current modes. Every wo-

Dung and thin, but this cannot always

,.umrn too often add to their appar-
at age.
4 few plain facts must be remem-
hered. Stout women must first of all
avoid stripes and vivid colors. The
new reds now coming in, the vivid
Greens and the brilliant combinations
Of color must be avoided. She must
avoid patent leather shoes and boots
with white, gray or other light toned
uppers. Hats require great considera
ton. and far removed from her cate
CORY are felt- with hard or very high
crowns or prominent outstanding feath-
ers. A belt simply emphasizes the en-
bonpoint of her waist. Very narrow
skirts are quite impossible. They
should be cut by hand we'll accus-
toned to the art. Panniers are quite
out of the question.
The clothes of the stout and elderly
woman need a great deal of thought.
One color should be the distinguishing
fact of her whole toilet. One piece
gowns with cape are better suited to
stout women than long coat, but
they may console themselves with the
fact that what they ought to wear is
what constitutes the elements of good
dressing. If she makes a mistake in
costume it certainly looks worse on a
stout woman than on a thin one, on
whom probably it would pass unno-
ticcd. Brilliant jet trimmings must be
worn with caution. Swaying fringes
and tassels are of all things to be
q v0ided. The stout woman is wise If
she chooses simple clothes and care

avoids any garishness.

WEE FOLK STYLES.
How to Make Chldren's Rainy Day
Suits.

Overalls.-Get a pattern one size
tern off just above the knees and, if
desired raise the material under the
ARM also over the back and chest
This is not always necessary; it de-
ponds upon the pattern of overals. Try
the pattern against the child and allow
from four to six inches below the col
lar.
Cape.-Circular cape: length, little
shorter than length inside of the ell
bow. to give perfect freedom.
Sleeves.-Plain, not full, cut by any
ordinary sleeve pattern.
Place the cape and the sleeves on the
child and where the sleeves naturally
join the cape pin over the shoulder and
haste. The under part of the sleeve is
left free and is bound with narrow bias
fold of material or tape. Stitch the
military strap on top of the shoulder of
the cape to prevent the stitching show
ing. This adds strength and gives
trim effect.
When the costume is complete dip in
melted paraffin (Which has been re-
moved from the stove) in a kettle large
enough to allow the goods to be well
immersed. Leave in the hot solution for
ten or fifteen minutes, allowing the
parts equal opportunity to absorb the
paraftin. Lift out carefully by the
hem and allow to drip. When dry the
garment will be stiff. Rub between the
hands to reduce stiffness and remove
any unnecessary paratin, which is apt
to be too thick in heavy places. The
garment may be redipped at any time.
and the same paraffin may be used
again. Generally two clippings annually !
give perfect satisfaction.

1t was Sir Walter Scott who helped
in "Anne of Geierstein" to arouse the
fears Of the superstitious concerning
the wearing of that very beautiful
stone, the opal, and it was a German
dealer in gems who fostered that fear
very successfully for other ends then
those of romance. He came to Eng
land years ago, we are told by Jew
eler, to fill an order from one Of the
royal families in Germany-a wedding
order, if l remember rightly. Opals
were then high. He had printed the
story that opals were unlucky and
spread the report diligently. In short
time the price went down, and he was
enabled to fill his order and make a
handsome profit.-London Mail.

harvesting and threshing time a large
force of horses must be at hand and then
they are crowded. At other times of the
year, especially in winter, the horses
have no work, except the "driving team"
| Seldom are the horses shod and many of
them are left to "pick their living'2
through the winter. They grow thick

home fat and well, after digging their
food from the snowy fields for many
months.

Much of the well water is tinctured with
alkali. The numerous springs and streams
of New England have nothing to compare
with them in the great West.
On many farms hollOws have been
scooped out by means of horse scrapers,
and there large quantities of water are
accumulated from melting SHOWS and
summer rains for the use of stock. In
deed, some villages have such " artificial
lakes" for public use. Rain water and
melted ice are other substitutes for well
water.
Each village has its nuisance ground
where tons of fertilizer from stables are
burned up every year; and huge stacks
of straw are destroyed in like manner
