Nothing can make a lounging stand
ing position excusable. Walls, rail
ing, posts and door frames were never
intended for human beings to prop them
selves up against—the doing so does not
rest the weary or lessen fatigue in the
least. On the contrary, it rather in
creases it. Besides, the habit soon be
comes chronic, and a general shiftless,
"loppy" appearance is the vitality. A
correct position promotes vitality, and
Is an aid to correct breathing and good
circulation of the blood throughout the
system. Work with Nature, and she
works for you.
The woman who flattens her entire
body, head, shoulders, hips and heels,
against the wall in a crowded room is
another offender. To stand with hips
and heels against the wall is perfectly
allowable in a crowded room, but to rest
the shoulders and head against it is to
he unnecessarily ungraceful. Unless the
tipper portion of the torso is free, how
can you possibly bow to your acquaint
ances? You don't suppose a nod is a
bow, do you? Well, it isn't. The in
clination is always made from the hips.
It is generally a very slight movement,
but it carries forward the "heart line."
The head is not bent, save when one
wishes to pay reverence or homage, then
the crown of the head is presented.
Otherwise, to be in "good form," bend
over so slightly at the hips and keep the
?yes on a level, or as nearly so as possi
ble, with those of the one saluted.
Don't on any account bend at the waist
line. This is permissible only in exer
rise work. A nod of the head is taught

ORNAMENT YOUR OWN LAMP
A Dainty Bit of China Decorating
Which Can Be Kept in Evidence
the Year Around.
One of the most satisfactory objects
for the china decorator to expend her
labor upon is a porcelain vase to serve
as the foundation of a parlor lamp.
This is something which, unlike the
decorated punch bowl or soup tureen,
Is constantly in use and in evidence.
It is something thoroughly worth
while, and for which a somewhat dis
proportionate price is usually paid In
the shops.
The motive we give for the decora
tion of a porcelain lamp vase may, if
desired, be easily adapted to a taller
.ase by lengthening the flower-staiks.
The curious plant depicted (sarra
cenia) is well known with us under its
various names of the pitcher plant,
sidesaddle flower and trumpet leaf.
HAND-PAINTED LAMP BOWL.
In Europe it is known as huntsman' 3
horn and Indian cup.
The flower has five outer leaves
(dark red on the outside, and green,
edged with red, on the Inside) five
petals of a brighter red, and a yellow
green umbrella-shaped center formed
by the spread of the pistil.
Use red brown for the petals, a light
wash of the same color for the inner
side, and shade with violet-of-iron.
Use violet-of-iron for the dark red
portion of the outer leaves of the
flower and shade with the same.
For the green parts of the flower
and for the leaves of the plant add yel
low and brown green to apple green
and shade with brown green.
The flower-stalks are green near the
base and red near the flower. For the
blades of grass use a light wash of
brown green. A suitable background
would be silver yellow or celadon.—

Improvised Clothes Closet.
As my sleeping room had no clothes
closet, I obtained a board 12 inches
wide and four feet long. This was fas
tened securely to the wall by means of
brackets, just high enough for me to
reach conveniently. Into the board I
screwed about two dozen hooks—the
kind made to fasten into the Tinder side
of shelves. This made ample room for
the clothes that were needed most, and
has an advantage over hooks put up
against the wall, in that the clothes do
not crush nearly so badly. Some pretty
curtains reaching from the shelf to the
floor were used to drape the closet. —

and Hand and Work Bags of
Handkerchiefs.
Pincushions and pretty bags always
find a welcome, no matter how many
already may be possessed. The con
venience of a pincushion which can bo
huug at the side of a mirror, or in.
some similar position, is self-evident.
A novel and useful one can be made
from a large size doll's parasol. To get
the best results, one of some bright
colored silk should be used. It must
be closed and the cover tacked to the
stick at each rib; then each of the sec
tions become separated from every
other, and can be fitted at the top and
stuffed either with bran or wool wad
ding picked into bits. When the cush
ions are slipped into place, they can
be tacked firmly to position and the

parasol further ornamented with bows
of ribbon tied on whatever fancy indi
cates. To make the best foundation the
parasol should have a hooked handle
by which it can be hung, but should
such not be obtainable, a ribbon loop
can be attaphed to a handle of any
sort.
Handkerchiefs seem ever to be serv
ing some new use. One of the latest is
the making of dainty bags for fancy
work and the like, A particularly
pretty bag of this sort, requires two
handkerchiefs, the size used by men,
or small mufflers. They should be of
fine linen. The upper handkerchief,
embroidered with a border of forget
me-nots within the hem, is cut at the
center to form a circular opening, the
edge of which is faced to form a cas
ing, in which is inserted an ordinary
COLLAPSIBLE WORK BAG,
wooden embroidery ring as narrow aa
obtainable. The embroidered hand
kerchief is then laid over the plain one,
and the two are stitched together on
the line of the hern. Ribbon bows ara
attached to each of the four corners,
and a ribbon hanger to the edge at the
opening with full bows at each end.
Another equally charming gift that
can be made from handkerchiefs is the
bureau cover. For this three or four
are required, according to size, an'd
they can be as simple or elaborate as
desired. White embroidered kerchiefs
are always dainty, but there are ales
many novelties in color that can be
utilized with good effect. But to get
the best results, the edges should be
plain.
Whatever the number and whatever
the style, each handkerchief should
have lace insertion at the ends, and
then all be joined togelher to form a
strip by means of beading. Around
the entire edge of the cover is a frill
of lace, which forms a finish.
A still further decorative effect can
be gained by threading all the beading
with colored ribbon, terminating in
bows of many loops. Fine plain hand
kerchiefs with embroidery of small
flowers in color are exceedingly dainty
and atraetive, and many other varia
tions can be made.—Kansas City Star.
Brown or White Sandwiches.
Any kind of finely-chopped nuts, beat
en to a paste with a small Quantity ol
mayonnaise, will make a delicious filling
for either brown or white bread sand
wiches. Waldorf sandwiches are made
of white bread and butter spread with a
mixture of equal parts of sliced apple
and celery, a sprinkling of sliced wal
nuts, all moistened well with mayon
naise. Chicken sandwiches are mad«
in the same way, omitting the nuts and
apple. The ripe, olive sandwich was
very popular last season for afternoor
teas. For one loaf of gluten bread use t
pint of ripe olives, one breakfast chcjse,
one tablcspoonful of mayonnaise dress
ing and one tablespoonful of cream;
stone and mince thj olives; cream the
cheese, adding first the cream and then
the dressing, and, lastly, the minced
olives. Stir to a smooth paste and
spread on thin slices of buttered bread. —

A SUCCESSFUL FODDER TIE.
Handier Than Twine Strings and Will
Last for Years, If Properly
Taken Care Of.
The following illustration shows a
handy fodder tie. It is easily and

ferred), saw about 20 or 22 inches long.
Then lay the stick down on the flat

a knot in it to hold it there, now saw
a notch in the opposite end of the stick
as shown in the illustration so that
when the string is drawn tisht around
the fodder one of these knots on the
other end of the string may be adjust
ed into this notch to hold it there. The
string should he about three feet. long.
When the bundles are in their proper
place in the mow, release the tie and
the tie is ready for use again. If sev
eral of the ties are used a person can
put away a wagon load of fodder at
one time. If the ties are taken care of
properly they will last for several
years, then new strings may be needed.
We have used these ties for several
years and find them handier than twine
strings.—Walter E. Heed, in Epitomist.
SQUASH CROP FOR MARKET.
Hints About Best Soil, Best Fertilizer,
Best Location and Best Method
of Culture.
The kind of soil best suited to the
growth of a squash is deep, rich and
mellow; a graveily clay also gives good
results. I would not advise a sandy
loam if very dry for squashes, as they
require considerable moisture. If not
too dry there is a good prospect of grow
ing a paying crop of winter squashes
011 run-down loam deficient in vegetable
matter. In the first place plow deep, and
harrow well. Check off the rows five
feet apart each way, leaving two vines
to each hill, the object being completely
to cover the soil with vines. On richer
soil they would need to be planted
farther apart. Dig out large round hills
15 to 18 inches across and three to
inches in depth, in which scatter well
a handful of high-grade fertilizer con
taining not less than 4Vz per cent, of
ammonia, ten of available phosphoric
acid and five to six actual potash. At
least two per cent, of the ammonia
should be in the form of nitrate, re
mainder from dried blood and pure raw
hone, or high-grade tankage. The phos
phoric. acid should be at least six per
cent, from bone; the potash should be
from nitrate or muriate, or both. Mix
the fertilizer well with the soil in the
hill, then cover three-quarters to one
inch with clear soil, drop about four
seeds and cover with about one inch of
moist soil (if soil is very light and dry
cover a little deeper than this), firm
ing down well on the hill. As soon as
the plants are well up, start the culti
vator and go over the ground every week
or oftener until the vines commence to
run. then apply 800 to 1,000 pounds per
acre of the same fertilizer broadcast,
which should be well cultivated and
hoed in; this would probably be the last
cultivating. The object in broadcasting
the fertilizer is that the Hubbard and
similar varieties of squashes send out
roots at every joint and broadcasting the
fertilizer places it where all these roots
can feed on it. On sour soil, or heavy
soil, lime would be a benefit, but not on
a very dry or sandy loam.—E. E. Pur
well, in Rural New Yorker.
Good Cream Is Necessary.
It was once supposed by a few pro
gressive creamery men that a first
class buttermaker ought to be able to
make good butter from half-rotten
cream. Later on experience taught
us that there is no method by which
we can renovate old, over-ripe cream
or milk, and make a desirable product
from same. Therefore, it is of the
utmost importance that the milk or
cream furnished the creamery be in a
clean and sweet condition and free
from all foreign odors. In order to
reach this result it is necessary f<u- the
buttermaker to gain some influence
over his patrons so that they wilt
receive bis instructions and feel that
they are benefited.—M. Mortcnsen, in
Farmers' Review.
Two Statues in Butter.
One of the Indiana commissioners to
the St. Louis exposition has planned
two pieces of statuary that will be -if
special interest to farmers r.nd dairy
men, and, indeed, to the average visit
or. One of the pieces will be modeled
from the mass of butter that a lull
blooded Jersey cow will produce in one
year, and the other from the butter
produced by a "scrub" cow daring tho
same period. As the butter modeled
Jersey will bo about four times as
large as the butter modeltd common
cow, the comparison will serve as an
object lesson, especially as it costs no
more to keep the Jersey than It co«U
to keep the "scrub."
