A beautiful example of embroidery
on fish net foundation is afforded by an
attractive design from The Household

Chord Playing; on the Piano.
Clear, incisive, resonant and power
ful or beautifully shaded chord playing
Is not very commonly heard. In addi
tion to the proper muscular conditions
and the mode of attack, which should
be carefully considered, good chord
playing requires a proper shape of the
hand and fingers. The hand should be
well arched so that the metacarpal
points are elevated considerably above
the second joints. The wrist must b«
held high and the fingers well rounded,
their third joints being perpendicular
to the keys. With the hand in this po
sition the fingers must be trained to re
sist a very heavy pressure, as at the
moment of attack in heavy chord play
ing the weight of the body is thrown
forcibly upon the i'nger tips. At this
Instant there must not be the lenst give
or weakening in any of the joints of
the fingers, the elasticity and looseness
being in the muscles of the wrist and
arm. The playing fingers should be
firmly set, while those not playing
must be well extended in order to
avoid the :i dental striking of adja
cent keys, .i the hand is kept in the
shape described, all the tones of the
chord played will be of equal power,
and when the hand and arm are raised
the dampers will fall upon all the
strings which have been struck at the
same Instant, a thing that rarely hap
pens in most of the chord playing that
one hears.
In playing a succession of chords the
fingers must be shaped in the air wbilo
going from one chord to the next, and
this shaping must not In the least in
terfere with the solidity of the hand or
the proper condition of the muscles.—

Romney is at present the name the
English tailors and dressmakers con
jure with in building up a line of pic
turesque toilets, some of which would
no doubt vastly surprise that eminent
painter. The Romney coat is a most
charming tiling and nicely adapted to
late autumn when materialized in
some old world tone of plum, brown or
rifle green cloth, the high directoire
collar faced over with velvet of har
monizing hue and the whole effectively
finished wiih embossed old silver, gilt

A funny story is told in Paris of •
Kansas City girl who was studying art. It
happ. lied several years ago, but has not
lost its interest even now in the Latin
quarter. For some occult reason or inex
plicable whim the masculine students dis
approved of the sailor hats worn by the
English and American girls and made
themselves generally obnoxious by rude
comments. One day the Kansas City girl
was going to her little room from the ate
lier where she studied. In one hand she
carried a portfolio, in the other a tightly
rolled umbrella. After a time she was
followed by a sallow youth, whom she
recognized as a poet and a leader in the
warfare upon sailor hats. lie followed
her block after block, loudly expressing
his disapproval of the hat she wore, until
she became exasperated beyond endur
ance, especially as his objections took the
form of paper and bread balls thrown at
the offending chapeau. Ti'rning suddenly,
but cnlinly, in front of a large cafe she
asked sweetly, "Am I to understand tliaf
you desire me to remove my hat, mon
sieur?" The poet, long and lank of hait
and lean of aspect, answered unhesitat
ingly, "At once, mademoiselle."
"In America," said mademoiselle, gen
ially, "gentlemen always remove theii
own hats in making a request of the la
dies. Allow me!" And a well directed
blow of the tightly rolled umbrella sent
the poet's cherished silk hat spinning into
the boulevard under the feet of horset
and wheels of carriages. lie stood para
lyzed with astonishment, and the crowd
at the tables broke into loud applause,
while the girl escaped safely down a aid*

Amid the blare of trumpets, the dis
charge of fireworks, the strenuous ef
forts of campaign orators and a vast
output of political literature the Amer- |
ican presidential campaign moves and
has its being. The average voter see# |
and hears these things without emo- j
tion besides his partisan feeling, for I
they represent to him only the effort to
attract his vote. He does not usually (
stop to learn the enormous outlay of I
money and brain power necessary to
produce these results.
Campaign literature particularly is a
feature that deserves consideration. In
no other country do the abstract ques
tions at issue receive so much attention
as in the United States. The national
committees know that if the Ameri
can voter is once convinced of the jus
tice of their contentions his sympa
thies will be enlisted and his vote gain
ed. It is for this reason that personal
abuse plays so very small a part in our
campaigns. The astute political man
agers know that calling the other fel
low names will not gain as many vote*
as a calm, reasonable presentation of

the facts at issue. Incidentally it may
be said that many of the contests of
the past have not been so conducted,
and in our political minds may be
found many bitter attacks on both the
views and the personalities of candi
dates.
Behind the outward manifestation*
of the political engine exists a vast ma
chinery whose operations extend to all
parts of the land. From it are sent in
to every nook and corner a flood of
pamphlets, books, copies of speeches
and various other ingeniously devised
forms of argument. No man's mail ia
safe in these days of political hustling,
and voters are greeted with argument#
at their breakfast tables, in their of
fices and, in fact, everywhere. Each
of the great parties has what is known
as its literary bureau expressly for this
purpose, and to it are brought the high
est resources of editorial ability. In
deed the labor expended by these bu
reaus would suffice to run a large num
ber of magazines. It is calculated that
a presidential campaign costs about
$10,000,000, and the largest portion of
this goes for literature. Among the
most important features of the work
done by these literary bureaus Is the
dissemination of matter to newspapers.
Unusual ability has been enlisted by
both the great parties in this cam
paign. The head of the Democratic

A Homemade TOT.
If you've never tried to make a teeto

I You commence by cutting the phosphorus
end of a match and sharpening it as you
| would a pencil. Having found a claret
I cork, cut a thin slice crosswise and stick
| the match through the middle of it. Meas
j ure the cork across and then trim a round
' piece of cardboard till it is just four
times as large as the cork. Divide the
! round card into four parts with a pencil
! and color each one differently with either
paints or crayons. Then make a tiny
hole in the center and slip the round card
onto the match so that it rests on top of
the cork. A second piece of c r rk a tritle
thicker than the first should then be push
ed onto the match to keep the card in
i place.
The teetotum will spin quite a long
! time if started with the finger and thumb,
! and it really looks very pretty if painted

in the turn of the wheel, come up to the

vessels, on arriving at the top of the
wheel, empty their contents into a trough
placed for the purpose of conveying the
water to the garden or whatever laud it
i may be desired to water. Where this wa

when It overflows its banks, the laud is
beautifully green and productive, al
though perhaps a yard farther off it is
barren and sandy desert.
How to Make niack Ink.
With black ink selling at 5 cents or
so a bottle it seems hardly worth while
for one to use homemade ink, but the
trouble is that nil black ink Is not
black by any means. The following
| recipe, however, which, by the way, is
some 200 years old, tells you how to
make a black ink that will not fade
and which is dead black in hue. Here
is the recipe:
One quart of rainwater filtered
j through a close woven cloth, three
ounces of bruised galls, one and one
half ounces of sulphate of iron (green
copperas) and two and one-half ounces
of gum nrabic. Coarsely powder the
! galls and put Into a bottle with the
i other chemicals; stir them up and add
the water. Securely close the bottle
and place In the sunlight, letting the
bottle stand until the gum arable and
i copperas have dissolved, occasionally
j stirring the contents to bring this
I about. Shake the bottle each day for
a month or six weeks, then add some
I 20 drops of carbolic acid to prevent
, mold, and your ink is ready for use.

nil a farm that is reasonably near a
market, says S. H. Callaway in The
! Prairie Farmer. Every i. -,- m has or

truck patch to supply the family with
fruit and vegetables in their season.

| and have some to dispose of V It taki s
! but little more trouble when you drill
peas to make the rows 100 or 200 feet
j long instead of 50. The same thing
• will apply to beets, cabbages, tomatoes,
, cauliflower, sweet corn and, in fact, all
the vegetables necessary to keep a
j family supplied as they should be with
nil the best in their season. Have a
I good, long row of asparagus. It cornea
j very early. Most families are fond of
I it, and it will always find good sale.
| l)o not forget a nice patch of the best
j melons, both watermelons and musk
; melons. Do not have all of one vari
' ety, but have some early and others of
I later and larger varieties. If you have
! a small patch of strawberries, why not
have a larger one? Have several vari
eties to lengthen out the season, and
while a late frost may catch the early
ones you will be pretty sure to have
some good varieties. Then the rasp
berries will be just coming on when
I the strawberries are gone. Have the
main crop of raspberries of the later
varieties. Next will come the cherries,
! followed by plums and early and late
apples. Then every farmer should
' raise a nice lot of chickens and, if pos
sible, from 50 to I<M> turkeys, all of
which, if marketed with judgment, will
be found a great help in paying the ex
-1 penses of running the average farm.
Improvement In Domestic Swine.
The improvement of the domestic on
| the wild hog has been very marked in
many ways, in the opinion of The
American Agriculturist. The long, nar
row head with large, heavy ears has
given place to the short, broad, thick
head with the dished face, turned up
nose and small, pointed ears not as
I large as a man's hand. The back has
, been straightened, the legs shortened
| and the hams and shoulders made as
' broad as they are high. Another won-
I derful Improvement has been in the
disposition. The wild, vicious boar or
sow which was dangerous to meet has
become decile and gentle, so that a
good brood sow with a litter of pigs is
I as safe to handle as any other domestic
i animal. Another improvement has been
in the power of assimilation, so that
while a pig of the present time does
not consume any more food than one
of the seventeenth century, it is able
to convert a greater percentage of it
into flesh and fat. The early maturing
quality is one of the most Important
differences between the two types. It
is no longer customary to feed pigs for
18 months or two years to get them
into market condition. They now attain
the same weight In from 8 to 12
mouths.
Working; Cattle.
Before the days of coal and western
beef working cattle were common on
the hill farms of New England, says
The Itural New Yo *ker. Wood brought
a good price as fuel, and the cattle
were invaluable for hauling it out ol
the rough wood 1 >ts. After serving
their purpose at tne yoke the cattle
brought a good price as beef. Even
when the price of wood fell and west
ern beef found its way to every butch
er shop within easy distance of a rail
road there was a place on the farm for
the working ox. lie was not fast
enough for the new goner:.tion; but, as
with other slow old things, it was a
mistake to try to get rid of him en
tirely. Tl-ere are many jobs on a hilly
farm which the ox can do better than
any other working partner. We would
like to have a yoke right now to work
among the roots and stumps at the
back of the farm. It does not cost
much to feed such cattle, and wherev
er the land is rough and stony they
will more than pay their way.
Old Fowl* For KntiiiK".
Farmers should eat more of the poul
try that they grow. It is nearly al
ways a high priced meat, says The
American Cultivator, but it is so very
largely because when young and well
fattened the flesh is more easily digest
ed than any other. Most of those who
grow poultry content themselves,
through mistaken ideas.of economy,
with killing for home use only those
that are old. tough and unsalable.
These last, however, are not to be de
spised, if cooked long enough over a
slow fire *o reduce the muscular parts
to tenderness. It is time rather than
great heat that is required to make all
old animals good to eat and to some
tastes better than the young. All kinds
of moat should be cooked long enough
to make them tender. There is more
nourishment in the old fowl than there
is in a broiler, and if it is cooked long
enough it will be quite as good.
Cowi i e«H itm (iriM'n Manure.
The Agricultural Epitomist says
some of the farmers in the south have
succeeded in growing larger crops after
cowpeas when they have taken the
vines oft for fodder and plowed under
the roots and stubble than when they
have plowed the whole crop under. It
scarcely seems reasonable, and yet
there may be abundant reason for it.
But whether this is exact or not the
crop of cowpeas and vines is esti
mated to be worth about S2O per acre
for fodder, and we should much prefer
to feed it out and use the waste, the
excrements of the cattle that eat it, to
fertilize the soil with.
Oranere Shirt*.
The suggestion of a long time resi
dent of India that orange colored shirts
are one of the best protections against

tage of here in the dog days. The
statement is founded upon a fact
known to every photographer, amateur
or professional, who has covered the
cracks of his dark room with orange
paper or linen. The rope sandals of
the orientals are another excellent hot

course, not intended for city street

four walls which have protected us
from the day of our birth and go out
to reside in a tent and under the open

fine harvest of pneumonia and malaria,
but as soon as the warm, dry weather
is actually established we should alter
our mode of living from that which
we followed when frost and cold reign
ed in the land.
City people have a pretty hard time
obtaining the air and sunlight which
they should have in summer time. Yet
even in the city man might be more
comfortable than he Is if he would
construct his dwelling properly with
balconies and roof gardens. In the re
cent building of apartments architects
are appreciating the decorative use of
the balcony and are substituting it for
the ugly but necessary fire escape. One
ten story apartment house put up last
year has most artistic wrought iron
balconies from the second to the top
floor. These are overshadowed in sum
mer time by awnings and are wide
enough to hold steamer chairs, jardi
nieres and even small tables. After
sundown the male heads of the various
households which Inhabit the building
resort to these balconies to smoke,
while the ladies In their light summer
gowns enjoy there whatever breeze
there may be afloat and sip lemonade
or iced tea.
In the country out of door living is
easy, for it Is a queer cottage that can
not boast a piazza, a nearby tree or

whether wide or narrow, a corner seat
such as is shown in the illustration is
convenient. As will be seen, the con

within the scope of the home carpen

cotton are made to fit the seat and are
covered with denim. These are taken

One of the various fancies in hair
dressing does not require the hair to be
waved. It is formed into large sausage
curls or martoaux above the face, much
as they were worn in the early part of
the century. The center marteaux Is
much longer than the others and de

worn low in the neck at the back.
A NOVEL, IDEA.
MRS HELEN ROOF, of Lima, Ohio, writes
that she has supplied herself and three
daughters with shirt waists and earned a
beautifully decorated, 100 piece dinner-set,
also a 24 piece silver-service, in three
months, by simply getting a few friends
and neighbors to try DIAMOND DIGEST
TABLETS for Dyspepsia and Constipation.
The premiums are certainly beautiful, and
Mrs. Roof says she is over SSO ahead in
useful household articles and wearing ap
parel. What makes it so easy to earn these
lovely presents is that DIAMOND DIGEST
TABLETS are warranted to cure any case
of Dyspepsia and restore the bowels and
liver to perfectly natural action in two
weeks or the money i 3 refunded. The tab
lets do exactly what is claimed for them,
and a few persons once started will use
enough to secure you several lovely pre
miums in a very short time. If you would
like a beautiful shirt waist, very latest
style, color and material, just send your
name and address to the DIAMOND DRUO
Co., 84 West Broadway, N. Y., requesting
them to send vou eight boxes of tablets to
be sold at 25c. a box, and get your father,
mother, brothers, uncles, cousins or your
aunts to take them with the understanding
that they pay you if found good. This they
will do and want more every time. Collect
the $2 and send it in and receive your
present. You can then get the 24 piece
silver-service and 100 piece dinner-set in
a very short time and absolutely without
cost. This firm requires no money in ad
vance and will mail tablets with premium
offers merely upon request.
