The State Supreme court last Satur-
day decided the long fought contest be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Thomas and
the County Commissioners over the
South Chestnut street road in favor of
the county, deciding that
1. Counties are mere auxiliary agen-
cies of the state government; and like
the state, are immune from liability on
account Of damages occasioned by the
manner in which they exercise or fail
to exercise their governmental powers.
q. In the absence Of some statutory
provision, county Is not liable to q
land owner for damages for the use Of
land attempted to be appropriated for
a public highway, the proceedings to
establish which are subsequently, held
to be illegal and void.
This is the case Of the county years
ago trying to take q strip OF land
through the Thomas land to open South
Chestnut street to the Reservation and
south line of the county, which was
afterwards decided was not a county but
City Of Hays matter and the people
will be glad it is at last settled.

MARKING HOUSEHOLD LINENS.

Marking household linen has strong
fascination for the needle worker. The
work is easy, and with patience and
some knowledge of the simple stitches
in embroidery, the beginner in fancy
work can be quite successful,
The selection of the proper style and
placing of initials and monograms Is
often confusing, authorities conflicting
in many instances merely because it is
often a matt T of taste. 1t is much
easier to buy the linen already stamped
and ready for work.
In working letters the key to success
is in the padding, providing, of urse
that the work has been properly
stamped, clearly and correctly placed,
and that the proper size thread in short
lengths IS used for covering. Be lavish
in using it, too, as the mercerized
thread soon rougheps; at the first sign
of that, cut it off and use a new needle
full.
In padding use either the long and
short stitch or tho chain stitch. being
careful to follow the curves and MAX
ing the stitches as long as possible
Where a curve starts, the padding
stitch should be taken hack a littlo be-
yond hefnish of the first stitch; that
is the line should be unbroken and In
turning crrves therefore the stitch is
taken back on itself just trife. For
the oYerlay use the satin stitch. To
make the satin stitch bring the needle
through to the right side aad put it
back at point directly opposite the
one where 1t was brought through. Lay
each succeeding stitch parallel TO the
first one, unless there is a curve in the
design which makes it necessary
to crowd the stitches On the
inside Of the curve. When the end of
thread is reached fasten in some way
securely where it will not show and
start new thread in such way that
the embroidery will conceal it also.
The wrong side of the satin stitch
should be as neat and regular as the
right side. The stitches must be per-
fecuy true and then it is not necessary
that the cotton should be so exceeding
~ fine. The proof of monogram work
is in the washing. II the padding is
good and the overlap is true and firm
monograms will far outwear the fabrics
upon which they are worked. &C.

made if the bread consumed were
baked at home instead of purchased
at retail prices. This is sf1cient re-
turn te pay for skilled labor. That is
the housewife who purchases at the
grocery and bakes bread three times a
week would receive Is cents per hour
for her work. Talk about drud9ery
The work Is of high character.
Still better if the housewife cares to
revert to the days Of boiled wheat and
hominY, which are wholesome and
dainty dishes, she can save 400 par
cent over present retaiI prices.
The cost Of living is high for many
reasons, two Of which this discussion
makes clear:
1. People in general prefer to pur-
chase what they eat already prepared
rather than go to the trouble them
selves. This preparation costs and il
must be paid for.
2. The elaborate system which a
raw article must pass through before
it is ready for consumption. Such g
system necessarily masterpieces very
| high.
When-the masses keep accurate
| household accounts and study scien-
tif1c management in the home and or
| the farm they will see these thingE.
Then they can have it different if they
desire. G. r. T.

What Would Happen If There Were
No Sunshinc2

The light from the flame of burn
ing log in the fireplace is but the bot
tied up sunshine of many summers
This is no poetic fancy or figure of
speech but a literal truth.
Every chemist knows that when
chemical elements combine or separate,
heat Tor energy always has part in it.
Light is a form of energy. 1t Is the
form most convenient for plant use.
When tree manufactures wood it
makes it out of two very cheap sub
stances, carbon dioxide and water. But
it requires energy to put these two sub
stances together A potato plant man
ufactures the potato from the same two
chemicals with the help of energy in
the form OF sunlight. Everv plant does
the same thing when it grows
WHY WOOD AND COAL CONTAIN STORED
UP SUNSHINE.
Now when the plant manufactures its
own food for its own growth, it not
only needs energy to put the carbon
dioxide and the water together but it
requires energy to hold them together.
This energy is converted from sun
shine So the log in the fireplace. as it
burns, literally returns to us the SUM-
shine Gas light Or heat which it stored
up years before.
The same thing is true of coal. c oal
IS nething but charred vegetation made
compact by the pressure of tons of ma
terial layed on top of it by succeeding
changes in the crust of the earth. So
the light and heat which we obtain
from coal is just sunshine that was
stored up centuries ago.
The oil from our oil wells probably
had something Of the same origin.
In a word. all the heat we ever get
has come in one way or another from
the sun.
This is only mere suggestion of our
debt TO sunlight. We will make one
other suggestion.
DISEASE AND SUNSHINE.
Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant
on Garth No disease germ can live in
bright sunshine for an hour.
Bacteria and molds and mushrooms
are plants which have degenerated and
don't manufacture their own food.
They steal it. Therefore they don't use
sunlight. In fact, they hate it. Tuber-
culosis, grippe, colds, pneum onia, etc,
don't thrive where there is plenty of
bright sunlight.
FADED CARPETS OR FADED FACES?
If we leave the window curtains up
and let the sunshine in our carpets and
wallpaper will fade. If we keep the
sunshine out our folks fade. We can
take our choice.
NOTES AND SUGGEST oNs.
Plants in general need plenty of sun
shine. Some more than others, how
ever.

THIS table assumes that the baker
buys from the retail grocer which Is
hardly correct. The II cents credit to

added to the amount the baker re-
