The sleeves also represent the elaborate scheme employed on the waist. A violet vel- vet toque adorned with a wired velvet bow and a fluffy plume completes this stylish toilette. Buying Table Linen. The young housekeeper buying hei outfit of table linen will find it an econ- my to provide a generous supply of tray cloths and carvers’ cloths. These for general use need not be embroider- ed, and are preferable, indeed, of hem- stitched finish or fringed. They are a genuine saving to the large cloth be- neath, and, being much more, easily laundered, can be renewed with great frequency. It is the practice of an old houseleeper, who is an adept at line hemsti§ching, to cut up the best parts of a fine tablecloth which shows signs of wear into a set of cloths. Where the art of such decoration is unac- quired, the cloth may be neatly hem- med and. finished with an edge of linen torchon. To Clean the Bearings. Many riders make the mistake of thinking that in order to clean out bearings it is necessary to take these to pieces. This is a most egregious error, and acting upon it nearly always causes more harm than good. Balls get lost or misplaced, and many acci- dents are clearly traceable to the tink- ering with a machine indulged in by some incompetent person. Much the preferable plan is to fill the oil-can with kerosene, and thoroughly syringe out the bearings without taking them apart. A strip of soft cloth wound round the outside ends of the bearings will prevent the paraflin from running down the spokes, and making an un— pleasant mess round the tires. An Old Fashioned Stitch. ‘l‘he old-fashioned cross-stitch, some- what enlarged and done over a. stamped design rather than on canvas, is very popular this season. A new floss, too, that is heavy and silken in appearance, but is not so expensive as the silk floss, is used to work out these simple but artistic and effective designs. In ta— ble-centers and tea—cloths the Oriental effects, new last season, are in still . greater vogue. These cloths when ctr- cular have an inverted and broken scallop or scroll which is worked in a different but harmonizing color. A curious pattern seen on one such cloth strongly suggested a Turkish rug, the angular lines cleverly brought, how- ever, into a circle. Origin of the Barber Pole. - It was formerly customary for bar- bers to perform the minor operations in surgery, and it was usually to a barber that anybody wishing to be bled, ap- plied. To assist in the operation is‘was nec« essary for the patient to grasp a pole firmly in order to distend the vein in the arm from which the blood was to ‘ be taken. When the pole was not in use it was placed outside the door as a sign that bleeding was done within. Woman’s Diet. When her liver is sluggish and her complexion is not all that she could wish it to be, a woman will find a few weeks’ diet an excellent means of res- toration. tea. and coffee should be abjured for a stimulants left severely alone. Plenty of oranges should be eaten. especially early in the morning. (introducing may l Foreign Noblemain American heiress)—-—Motlier, present my afiianced bride? Dignifled Dowager—Hem!

A NEIGHBORLY CALL “Dill,” said Ann: Maria, the day after Dill began her visit. “‘I want you to .do an errand for me.” “All ri_ghat,'Auntie,” said Dill, jumps ing up and seizing her hat. She wasn’t the girl to refuse to do anv- thing helpful. - “Our seamstress,” said her aunt, “is very poor, and has to support her lame mother and her own little girl. She cannot get much work, and is worried all the time. Her birthday and her mother’s and the little girl’s birthday all come on the same day, and it is this very day. I am' going to give her my geranium, which isn’t much. But Mrs. Grace has white Chrysanthemums, and she'w’ill give me some, I know, if you will go after them.” “I!“ g0,” she live?” “TVell,” said her aunt, “as you go, turn first to the left, walk two blocks ——no, three blocks—then turn to the right, and the third house you will see Chrysanthemums in the yard. ' Tell Mrs. Grace about the birthdays and ask for some flowers.” , Dill started out, well pleased with her errand. he liked to be trusted 'said Dill. “eriere does and have responsibility. It was a clear, sunny day, and the unfamiliar town looked very pleasant. She turn- ed to the left. walked two blocks. and then turned to the right, but there was no flowers in the third yard. It was the fourth that glowed -with Chrysanthemums, red, white and yel- low. “Whose garden is this?” asked Dill of a passer-by, so as to be sure. “Mrs. Gray’s,” said be. So Dill stepped in and seeing a lady and a little boy on the piazza, she went to them and said, in her bright little confident way: “My Aunt ’Ria says. will you please give her some Chrysanthemums for the seamstress, because she is poor and her mother is lame, and her girl little, and it is the birthday of all three of them to-day. Aunt ’Ria hasn’t anything but geraniums, but she will give thcun, and she said you would give some flowers, she knew”. “Who is your aunt?” asked the lady, smiling. ' “Mrs. Maria Avery, around two cor- ners from here. You don‘t know me, because I only came yesterday. I’m Dill Avery.” “Let’s give her some flowers. mamma,” said the little boy. “She says the seamstress gets worri- ed, and don’t have work enough. and the flowers may brighten her birth- day,” continued Dill. “Now, Rupert,” said his mother, “let me get my gloves and scissors, and we will go among the flowers.” So out they all went together among the Chrysanthemums, which were cer- tainly wonders; some tiny as buttons, some just a sweet, natural size, and some as big as oranges or even as big as cocoanuts. Dill thought to herself. “I never saw such a handsome gar- den,” said Dill. “In Melford, where I live, the flowers are all killed with the frost.” “Frost can’t hurt ours,” said Ru- pert. “See, we pull the awning down over them every night. Here’s our pansy 'bed. Mamma, I want to send pansies to the poor lame woman.” “Very well,” said his mamma, "l‘rin: 'a basket, and you may fill it illlll carry it for Dill." There were chrysanthenmms, car— n'ations, sweet peas, pansies and even Some la-te roses heaped ‘up in that basket before the gathering was done, beside all that Dill had in her hand. “There. that will be a. pretty good . birthday.” said Rupert, exultantly. “It will be 'a beautiful birthday,” said Dill, “and we will tell her th flowers came from your garden, Mrs. Grace.” “Never mind that.” said the lacy, lightly. “Now. Rupert, help Dill carry them home." « Aunt Maria had gone to the door the third time to look for Dill, when she saw her turning the corner, with a little boy in a velvet suit at her side. hardly to be seen for the quanti- ty of flowers he carried. "Have you been to paradise, Dill?" was all she could think of to say. (“‘No." said Dill, merrily. “It was just Mrs. Grace’s garden and there are thousands more flowers left." “Which way did you go?” asked Aunt Maria. . "‘Oli, just as you said. To the left, then two blocks, and then to the right. But it was the fourth house, not the third; and auntie, they have awnings to cover t.1e flowers nights.” “Child" said her aunt, “you have been to the Mayor's house, Mayor Gray’s. and I never spoke to her in my life. nor she to me!” “I don’t care,” .nid Dill, stoutly, though the color flew into her cheeks. “I don’t care. it will make a beautiful birthday 3" So it did, indeed, and that was not the end of it. Steady work and good prices followed after. and no seam- stress could carry a heavy heart who had Mrs. Avery and the Mayor’s wife both for customers—Youths Compan- lon. / ' Pat’s Objection to Machinery.

Vinol, the new tonic reconstructor, is being talked of in papers not only in this country, but abroad. Vinol is recognized as a. bona tide discovery and is prescribed as such by the best physicians. Now that we are able to get the active curative principles from the cod’s liver, free from the grease and vile-smelling fat, we have taken great strides towards even— tually eliminating wasting diseases. Mr. M. F. Flynn, the well known chemist of Haverhill, Mass, speaking of the wide- spread popularity of Vinol, says :— “In my experience as a. chemist I have never known of an article that has been so widely commented upon as has been Viuol. The fact that the Lancet of London, one of the leading medical journals of the world, has Spoken so highly of this discovery, should in itself be a guarantee of its efficacy." We do not think it strange that Vinol is be- ing talked about. Nothing before ever gave such satisfaction and no remedy has ever been discovered that proved from the very start the truth of all that has been claimed. for it. as has Vinol Yours very truly, Soccr‘al Vinol representative PLAISTED’S drug- store.
