Pocket Needle Case.

at hand the means of repairing a rip
or a rent In her clothes she will

become ingrained with her never to

carried is the cartridge-shaped affair
in steel which unscrews to reveal a
silver-plated thimble surrounding a
reel wound with white, blue and
brown threads. and a hollow recep-
tacle for needles. But all the neces-
stiles for clothes repairing may be
contained in a tiny leather-covered
book having flannel leaves for holding
needles and pockets for holding short
ened toothpicks wound with threads.

Selecting seed corn from the stalk
in the field is the only way know of
to have seed that possesses the charac-
teristics we desire represented in the
seed ear. II is possible to select from
the wagon at husking time as large
and perfect ears as from the field,
but It is clear that If we are to under
stand the type and character of the
stalk and leaf and early or later ma
turlty we must study the ear and the
stalk before the ear is removed from
the parent plant.
For a number of years | have prae-
ticed the various ways of selecting
and storing seed corn, from the wagons
at husking time when unloading at the
crib, from the stalk when husking and

Portugal Government Turns Loose 3oC
Illlterates, but Keeps the
Intellectuals.

,sbon.-In order to square itself
with the opposition, but more partic-
ularly with the world at large, the
government, on the third anniversary
Of the republic, released 800 Royalist
prisoners some of whom had been
kept In Jail for three years without
trial This act has called forth cen
sure from the Carbonari press-the
press of Portugal's Tammany-which
declares that the royalists should
have been allowed to rot in prison"
and that "the government has shown
that it fears foreign criticism" The
release, however, is not so much to
the credit Of the government as the
first cabled news Of it implied or the
Carboneri censure indicates.
The majority Of the prisoners now
released are peasants and poor work
men, distinction having been drawn
by the government between these and
the less poor or the better educated.
1t is a curious distinction, and to the
ears Of demagogue may have fine
sound and dignity, but it is one which
a moments consideration shows to be
untenable and absurd. It is presum-
ably not intended to be a premium on
illiteracy, for the government pro-
fesses a horror of illiteracy, but it is,
in fact, premium on servility, mean
ness, and obsequiousness. 1t is de-
signed, says the government, to divide
the responsible from the irresponsible.
A hundred and twenty of the better
educated prisoners remain accordingly
in the penitentiaries. But 1t requires

an aggrieved tone how those tell-tale
papers had been found in the depu-
ties desks by the police. He really
was very angry about It, for, as he
and everyone knows, II is the correct
thing in the best plotting circles to
carry such papers on the person,
where the secret police can get at
them without vexatious delay and
trouble. There can be little doubt
that the imprisoned deputies will get
much severer sentences than they
would have received had they not
maliciously sought to annoy the po-
lice and cause delay by leaving these
discriminating documents in their
desks, instead of carrying them to
jail, where they could have been
found without trouble when the depu-
ties we're searched.

tween joints, whether the ear is locat-
ed too high or too low, and whether
it is vigorous or spindling and has
good leaf development. In other words,
1t is of paramount Importance that the
ear have plenty OF feed, light and
range upon which to draw for its sup
ply of plant food. When we find
stalk that under average conditions
bears an ear Of exceptional quality
above the average in the field we snap
1t and carry 1t to the corn house and
hang it up to dry so thoroughly that
the first hard freeze will not injure its
terminating qualities.
Practical experiments as well as the
testimony of many of the best corn
growers shows that an ear taken from
the stalk as soon as 1t is glazed or
even before it shows as great vigor
after planting as do ears that are left
on the stalk until the entire crop is
fit to husk. Such experiments and
testimony seem to justify us in taking
advantage of the early maturing ears
and those that are less mature, IL they
possess many Of the more desirable
characteristics. Some authorities
seem to favor marking the desirable
ears and leaving them on the stalk.

FREES ALL HER PRISONERS

no very high intelligence to know
whether one prefers the monarchy to
the republic, or to realize that the
object Of attack was the republic; SO
that, assuming that all the prisoners
we're guilty OF taking up arms or &C
lively conspiring against the republic,
which, Of course, Is not the case, the
net result Of the distinction drawn by
the government is to reward those
who fought against the republic, not on
principles, but wantonly. in order to
earn few shillings, and to retain in
prison those who did 80 honestly, from
conviction.
1t is precisely those who were con.
demned rather owing to their convic-
tions than their actions who are to
be kept In prison. Because some of
them are priests and others belong
to the Portuguese nobility they are
held responsible, and are to contiuu9 .
to serve a sentence to which they
should never have been condemned.
No one wishes a nobleman to have
more favor in the eyes of the law
than peasant, but why should he
have less?"
The conspiracy" Of those now re-
leased is at least as clearly estab-
lished as that of those who remain in
prison. The present government pro
fesses to abolish God and religion. but
in undertaking to judge men by their
motives rather than by their proved
acts it is assuming a prerogative com
monty held to be not human but
divine.

IMITATION FURS AND CLOTHS
Coats of serVlceabIe Sorts Much Inn
proved by the Form of Decora-
ton Thus Made.

Plain and brocaded pushes and vel
vets and velours are employed for
many purposes. Plain plush is used
for practical coats of the serviceable
sort, while the brocaded effects are
used for dressier garments. Matelasse
or striped velvets and velveteens
printed in simple shaded stripes in
imitation of corduroys are a. new
fancy.
Coats of velvet, plush or pile fabric
have cutaway effect. The fronts are
widely wrapped and fasten with a sim
gle large ornament or a fancy button.
Collars are quite large, and mostly Of
the shawl variety, though some are
made to button high. Sleeves of prac-
teal garments in these materials are
the regulation type, set in at the arm
hole. Those in dressy coats are in the
mandarin style, and some are quite
extreme.
Colors in pile fabrics for coats are

tives have known them no more, but
in all such cases the missing ones In
variably were careful to leave their
discriminating documents where the
police could find them without trou-
BILE, thus making II pleasanter for
all. Sometimes the discriminating
documents are found neatly tied up
with the last will and testament OF
the departed. Sometimes they are
hidden but the police are wonderful
experts at finding them. Relatives
and friends will search room for
hours, not leaving square inch UNI
explored, and discover nothing what
soever, not even a scrap of writing.
Then the police will come and glance
earelessly around and, presto, In the
shake of a lambs tail they discover
enough discriminating documents to
paper the room itself.

Kewple to EmbroIder.

How many mothers who have
laughed with their children over the
antics of the Kewpies know that these
delightful creatures come stamped to
embroider? They adorn pillow tops,
chiffonier scarfs and table covers, and
the child's nursery or bedroom, and
they have lost none of their selfish
ness by being transferred to heavy
linen.
They are colored, of course, and are
to be done In outline stitch, with
coarse rope silk-work which goes
pleasantly fast. Kewpie rhymes are
painted below, describing the pictured
action.
The alluring Drayton children come
in this form also, and are quite as
pretty as the Kewpies. But perhaps
the cleverest of all is the sweet little

a large proportion of these very cost
ly models might be successfully copied
by many tailor or dressmaker who
would have been incapable of original
ing them Even so, the beautiful ma

sive, but at least the goodly sum paid
for the makers reputation and
originality would be eliminated, and
that means cutting down the price by
at least one-half; while the profit of
the importer who brought the model
over, another large item, can be
counted off the cost Of the garment.
