and II you would greatly obviate the
difficulty OF cutting such goods, frat
cover the table with a felt or heavy
cloth.
In renovating feather pillows. !irst
open one corner Of the ticking and
pour boiling water In. This renders
the feathers kind Of pulpy. wet mass.
which can be easily handled. Have
ready some soapy water and take the
feathers out and thoroughly wash
them In this. using more soap II nee
essary. Then thoroughly rinse them
I'm several waters and put back Into
the washed cover and hang II out in
the hot sun.
With q long. clean stick you can
turn them occasionally through the
opened corner. As the SUMS heat
dries the feathers they will swell to
fill the cover and be wonderfully light
and fluffy and perfectly clean without
being scattered at all, which inva-
riably happens when they are handled
dry.
A neat and very satisfactory way to
keep patterns Is to file them away In
a ascent letter file. Kept this way

OF the beautiful name Of Fragaria and
named il strawberry, because Of the
custom Of placing straw under the
vines TO raise the berries from the

n the berry which gives II its name.
However that may be, a strawberry by
any other name would taste as sweet.
Physicians concur in placing straw
berries in their catalogue Of pleasant
remedies.
The wild strawberry, picked In the
open field. where it has absorbed the
SUMS rays and developed its sweet
juicinoss. has a favor unexcelled by
tie choicest cultivated berry.
There are some unfortunate individ-
uals who are unable to eat this berry
without i'll effects. The reason for this
is not fully explained. says Thompson.
for The analysis of the berry fails to
show any product which is peculiar to
itself" There must be some combi-
nation Of acids or other materials ex.
listing in this berry which is excep-
tionally irritating to some persons"
IL may be that they (the pcrsons)
have a digestive acid which combines
with the vegetable acid In some chem
