FOR NEEDLEWORKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Finery TJ^
ou Which to Employ Their
Spare Time.
A fad of the moment is to have laced
•r embroideerd cuff and stock pieces
edged entirely around with ruching.
The cuff pieces are simply basted over
the wristbands. When the ruching is
soiled a new ruche may be put on and so
the handsome or delicate lace is saved
much washing.
One of the embroidery designs in field
flowers which is attractive is a daisy
pattern upon a table center piece. Large
centers with a white couched edge and
the pattern stamped inside this cost
$1.50. The edges should be finished with
a broad band of lace. The design is
worked in white and green.
A prime factor in a cozy corner is a
cushion of green burlap embroidered
with red raffia. The design is of clus
ters of cherries. The realism of this
pillow is further carried out by having
the corners finished with large bunchea
of natural-looking velvet cherries on a
green wire stem.
The prettiest of the new summer
cushion covers are in sheer muslin or
lawn, with embroidered monogram or
| Marie Antoinette festooned borders, or
Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers all
done in exquisite stitches in white, and
brought Into relief by being placed over
a cushion covered in roee, blue, yellow
or mignonette green.
Bedroom slippers of the hand cro
cheted order echo the universal vogue
of the polka dot The smartest of these
are now made to come very high on the
ankle and turn over, forming a sort of
cuff. Larke white polka dots occur on
a background of pink or lavender, or a
white surface is treated with large dots
| in pink or blue.
A pretty pincushion that a girl can
1 make for herself, or for a gift, is a cir
cular affair of violet colored silk or
satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow
der. Around this are sewed millinery
violets, arranged in such a way that the
cushion is almost hidden away in the
blossoms. The stems are tied as if in a
bouquet at the oack.
A pretty and comfortable kimono may
be made from an old shirt waist Re
move the gathers at the waist. Take off
the collar band and cut the neck V-shape.
Remove the cuffs and gathers at the
wrist. Now take cloth of a contrasting
color and sew a strip two Inches wide
around the bottom of the waist and the
sleeves, up the fronts and around the
neck and your dressing sack Is com
plete.
THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
An Invigorating Indulgence Espe
| cially Beneficial to Persons
Who Are Ailing.
An 1830 bath is the very latest
thing. It is a bath made of sweet!
scented water in which there is enough
acid to be invigorating. It is a bath
! of a previous generation and it is one
! which every athlete of the present day
should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
To make an 1830 bath take a tub oi
hot water and pour into it a quart of
oath vinegar if one can afford it. II
one cannot indulge in this extrava
gance, then take a pint. If this is too
much at least pour in a few table
spoonfuls.
A bath in bath vinegar is good for
the muscles. It drives away Rheuma
tism, it cures neuralgia, it is Just , the
thing for a stiff neck, and it takes the
ache out of tired bones.
A rose geranium bath is recom
mended to those who have neuralgia
and sharp aches and pains. There is
something very soothing about the
odor of rose geranium. It lulls the
senses as not even violets can do.
The aromatic bath, partly ammonia,
is liked by those who feel faint and is
the bath of baths for the woman with
a weak heart. Let the woman whose
heart does not beat well practice walk
ing. Let her take the walking exer
cises vigorously. Then let her take
n. uitim aiuuiauu viucgdi txu\i ici uci
Anally steep her nose in a bottle of tn«
vinegar, and while she is dressing let
& saucer of it stand in the room. This
Is the best way to get the full scent
I of the vinegar and the best results
I from it
Camphorated baths are much toe
i powerful for any but the sick. Tht
person who has sprains or bruises cao
take a mild camphorated bath, but it
is not a pleasant bath nor one which
can be recommended for daily use.
Taken all in all there is nothing quite
as pleasant as the rose geranium bath
nor one that is cheaper. A great bot
tle, half a gallon, of the scent can be
made for a dollar and this will last
a long time.
Curry of Vegetable.
Use one large onion, & sour apple, a
pint each of carrot, turnip and celery
cubes, a heaping teaspoon curry pow
der, one pint stock or milk, two table
spoons flour, two level teaspoons salt,
one-half teaspoon pepper, generous
tablespoon of butter; mince the onlein,
pare the apple and cut in thin slices; pot
butter on the stove in stewpan and u
soon as melted add onion and apple;
•tir for two minutes and then add ths
other vegetables, stirring until it be
gins to brown; then add flour and sea
soning, stir again, then pour milk oi
stock over; cover the stewpan and let
simmer one hour.—Boston Globe.
Blanquette of Lamb.
Cut cold, cooked lamb in strips, make a
sauce with three tablespoonfuls each ol
butter and flour stirred over the Are until
smooth, add one cupful of stock and on«
cupful of milk and stir until boiling
salt, pepper and dash of nutmeg and on«
tablespoonful of tomato catsup; heat ths!
meat in this, turn out on a platter, servs j
around it green peas or a potato border;
sprinkle with minced parsley.—Goof :

THAT TIRED SPRING
Which Comes to Many wii
eon That Should Renew
Life and Energy.
There are certain persons to whom the
advent of spring, instead of bringing a
sense of rejuvenescence, provides a very
different sensation, says the London
Lancet The youth of the year, when
nature seems to revel in growth and de
velopment, ought to give, it might be
thought, to the human species, too, a
sense of vigor and of the natural joyful
ness of fecundity. When the birds are
breaking into song and the plants into
flower, poor man might also exult in life
and its annual time of awakening
growth. Yet to many the return of
spring is only the return of a vague
feeling of listless languor, a slack sense
of fatigue that comes without labor
and of weariness that is uncalled for by
any unusual effort.
To those who dwell in cities, at any
rate, spring has trials that are peculiar
to itself. To some extent these arise
from the knowledge that abroad in the
country all is new life, refreshened
vigor, and inspiring atmosphere, while
in town the wonted thraldom is en
hanced by the suspicion of these thing*
that is gained from the trees and the
plants of public parks and open spaces,
where poor little bits of nature bloom
only to suggest in vain all that awaits
the town dweller if he could escape. It
13 not only dissatisfaction, though, at
being unable to partake in nature’s
gaiety that produces the feeling of which
we speak; something is due to climatic
conditions.
Who does not know the enervating
sense that accompanies the first warm
day of the year? We may agree with
Johnson that he is a weak creature who
is influenced by the weather, but if we
do we must confess with the same breath
AVni 1.A A n Mr tvinpi 11C* A r A n'OO lr oroa •
tures. If, like Johnson, we lived in more
leisurely times and regaled ourselves
heartily in Fleet street about the middle
of the day, following the weal with a
comfortable discussion, maybe we, too,
should be indifferent whether the sun
shone or the rain fell. Unfortunately,
we work our nervous systems more and
our alimentary organs less than did our
grandparents. Inevitably we have a
sensitiveness that was unknown to most
of them. Their fits of “the spleen” were
well earned, probably, by loads within
the stomach. We acknowledge no such
consoling cause for the ennui that often
in the spring assails the town dweller.
Happy he who can dispel it by a week
end in the country or at the sea before
his regulation summer holiday arrives.
COPPERS BECOME A PLAGUE
Nearly #15,000,000 Worth of tha
Coins Are in Circulation
in England.
Many large towns in England are, like
Leeds, suffering from a plague of cop
pers. The extension of tramways with
half-penny fares, the use of penny-in
the-slot gas meters and automatic ma
chines, and in London the Tube railway,
with its two-penny fares, have produced
an enormous change of small silver
coins into pennies and halfpennies,
6tates the London Chronicle.
'Tradesmen consequently are finding
themselves burdened with huge quan
tities of coppers, and they complain that
they cannot get rid of them by an ex
change for small silver. It might be
thought that the royal mint had some
thing to do with this excess of coppers,
bui on that point the master of the mint,
Mr. W. G. E. Macartney, M P., is tm
phatic.
“It is not a question of minting at all,”
he said, "it is merely a question of bank
ing. If the tradesmen of Leeds, or any
other town, find they have a superfluity
of coppers, they have only to tell their
banker that if he cannot give them sil
ver in exchange they will transfer their
accounts. Take the case of Leeds. Ob
viously the money has not left the town,
and it is the tradesmen’s fault if they
cannot get silver for copper."
The mint, it mav be added, always
strikes more than the ordinary quanti
ties of any particular coin for which
there is an abnormal request. But there
has been no excessive demand recently
for coppers. The value of the bronze is
sues in 1902—the latest year for which
the statistics are available—was some*
what larger than in 1901, but there was
also a considerable increase in the value
of the silver issues. In 1901 the number
of bronze pieces struck at the royal mint
in London was 41,349.387, valued at
£120,280, while in 1902 the number had
risen to 45,774,848 pieces of the value of
£148,499. The silver coins struck in
1901 totaled 18.843,425, valued at £914,
201, while in 1902 the figures were 26,
270.996, amounting in value to £937,202.
In his report for 1902 Mr. Macartney
gives the following estimate of the prob
able value of the bronze coin now cir
culating in the United Kingdom: Pence,
£1.968,048; halfpence, £713,450; farth
ings, £150,190. This estimate is based
on the total issue from 1860 to 1902 in
clusive, allowing 10 per cent. a» theestl
mated Issued to the colonies and for
coins lost or destroyed.
It Was Wished On.
Johnny’s sister has a ring that Johnny
is very fond of. He is allowed to wear it
sometimes for an hour or so, when he
has been very good, or has promised to
be. One day he suddenly found that h<
wanted to wear that beautiful little gold
band, and so he informed his sister. She
wasn’t just in the mood, so she told him,
as he insisted, that she couldn’t take it
ofT because it was “wished on.” Johnny
said little and thought much, and tKI
next afternoon, when sisters had callen
he rushed in and plumped down on an ot>
ioman in the middle of the room.
“Johnn,” reminded his sister, “youi
cap, dear.”
“Oh,” returned the boy, inrocently, ”]

| The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds* ^

piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction ■
of a second. NoL all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre- 1
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent. J
a®
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An 1,;
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse heaause all donut
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. Tlie cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
