CROCHET RUGS ARE PRETTY
Just the Amount Of Material That 10
Required to Make q 80 BY 40
Inch Oval.

The pretty oval braided Japanese
rugs seen everywhere now suggested
to an ingenious girl the idea of using
UP the odds and ends of rags in the
house and crocheting them together
instead of braiding them. While 1t
may not appeal to one as a summer
fancy work. still it's good time to get
ones strips together in balls and plan
for long winter evenings.
To make a rug 80 by 40 inches oval
requires "a yards of material 80 inches
wide. 1t Is much prettier to choose
two different colOrs, white and another
solid color or II yards of white and
the rest divided among two or three
harmonizing shades. 1t must. how.
ever, always be remembered that In
rug designing. like bouquet making or
quilt patching, certain rules are infal.
lible. There must be distinct touch
Of dark, black or very dark blue or.
brown. Yellow and green set Of all
other cOlOrs and the prettiest rugs are
divided equally between white and an
other color or group Of cOlOrs.
To make white and blue-striped
rug, for example. tear 17.yard strips
Of white cheesecloth and blue calico
into one-inch widths.
Begin with chain eight inches
long, crccheted with heavy wooden
crochet nesdle costing 10 cents or
one Of amber which costs 10 cents.
Turn and put in eight stitches mt the
end. Repeat mt the other end after
cfocheting back the eight inches of
chain. Add eight stitches mt the ends
with every other row and this will
form the oval. When the first piece
OF II yards Of white Is consumed, be-
gin with the blue strip and alternate
the two colors until all the strips are
finished. This produces graduated
stripe rug.

A Peculiar Find.

A peculiar find was made on the Ber-
nard Giese farm in the town of Prairie
du Sac one day last week. While en-
gagged in fencing through the low lands
on his farm, Chris Zimmerman came
across a turtle the size of an ordinary
mans hat. The reptile had an inscrip-
ton upon its back and upon investiga-
ton, it was found to be the following:
Christ Kindschi, 1881" From Andrew
Kindschi of the town of Sumpter, it
was learned that Christ Kindschi, now
resident of the city, owned and resid-
ed on the Giese farm in 1881, and
Andrew came from Switzerland that
year and was employed on the farm,
and remembered the marking of the
turtle IS years ago.-Baraboo Republic.

had fallen, the piano movers had come
They had carried the piano down the
front steps, and Mrs. Vertrees was
standing in the open doorway behind
them, preparing to withdraw, when she
heard a sharp exclamation; and Mrs

from the shadow into the light of the
doorway.

important to Education.

The most important part of educa-
ton is the training Of the senses
which, besides supplying the faculty
of accurate observation, creates the
habit of careful reflection and meas
ured reasoning. The boys on the
farms, no less than those who are be-
ing trained in the trades, acquire ex-
tensive development of the senses.
The advent of mechanical power and
machinery, however, has impaired
this development-Pre Charles
