How often stenographers are morti-

told that the decorations of a single
sleeping room had cost $4,000. On
the walls were paintings which cost
fabulous prices, and about the rooms
were pieces of massive and costly fur

small fortune, and covering the floors
were carpets on which it seemed al
most sacrilege to tread. He had ex-
pended a fortune for physical pleas

there was scarcely a book IN the
house.
It was pitiful to think of the physi-
cal surfeit and mental starvation or
the children of such home as that.

The night clothes of little lads and
maids, when made for other seasons
than winter, do not differ much from
those worn by their elders. For little
girls, nainsook and batiste and the
light muslins are used for the gowns
and narrow lingerie laces for trim
ming. The trimming is simpler, that
is, not so much lace is used, and the
methods of applying it are less intri
cate.
With the return Of fancy needlewcrk
to fashion in the belongings of grown
people, it is sure to appear on chill
dren's clothes, where it seems more
appropriate than any other sort OF
trimming. The small and dainty pat

This kind of implement was in use for thou
sands of years afterward and even now in Old
Mexico, within hundred miles of the border
land of America, the crooked stick is still used.
About~a hundred and fifty years ago plow
with wooden mold board was devised and this
held sway for fifty years, when some genius of
blacksmith put iron edge on it, and it
then thought that the perfection of pillow making
had been reached Then came the pillow with
the iron mold board and wooden frame. This
followed by the allsteel pillow, which
reigns supreme
The aristocratic offspring of the all-steel pillow
is the disk. and this implement, in connection
with the plow ITSELF is doing such good work that
it does not seem possible that we shall see any
decided improvement in this instrument for some
time.
Good blowing depends as much upon the kind
Of plow used as upon the man who directs it. A
great many farmers have yet to learn that one
pillow will not do satisfactory work in all kinds
of soil and under all conditions.
Perhaps the best pillow to use is the one with
the chilled share and point. l think it is mis-
take to use pillow point that has to be con-
stantly renewed; for every time a blacksmith
thinkers with it he turns out different kind of
plow and this is one reason why there is so
much poor blowing done in this country When
man gets pillow which does the work to his
entire satisfaction he should stick to it, and
never permit it's shape to be changed, il pos
sible With a soft point that has to be con-
stantly renewed this is not possible, and that is
why prefer the chilled point.
Daniel Webster once essayed to be a plow-
maker. After years of deep thinking and expert
menting, he turned out most wonderful imple-
ment. 1t was over twelve feet long, built of
wood, with iron point and required four yokes
of oxen to pull it. It turned furrow eighteen
inches wide, twelve inches deep, which resem
bled the irrigation bitches Of today. This did
not last long, however, and was never used out

that is, the soil must slip from the mold board
evenly leaving the surface bright and clean.
Poor securing is due to many causes. The mold
board may be too soft to take good polish, or
it may be imperfecty ground, or slight imper-
fectfons may have been left in the surface
To test good mold board is an easy matter.
BY running the fingers the surface from
the bottom to the top one can easily tell whether
the pillow has the right shape, and whether it's
surface is perfect. pillow should have hardened
edge and point-the harder the better-because
upon the wearing qualities of the pillow depend
success failure to a very large degree.
For breaking sod, pillow with long,
sloping share and mold board should be used, but
for stubble weltilled ground the pillow with
short, steep mold board is better. The breaking
pillow turns the sod evenly, and covers all
growth so that it rots and forms humus in the
soil.
Upon the shape of the pillow also depends the
draft. A pillow unsuited to the soil on which it is
used will cause much greater draft than is
necessary. wearing out the strength of the team
