For tho Sowing Room.
Serviceable petticoats foi school
girls may be made from dark colored
ginghams; the skirt should be gored
and sewed onto a yoke at the top,
which fastens behind with two but
tons r they should be finished at the
bottom with either a ruffle or a feather-stitched
hem. To accommodate
possible shrinkage of the goods and
growth of the glrl several tucks may
be added. They could be made quite
handsome if the ruffles were finished
with cross-stitch embroidery in either
white or colors, and it would be well
to let the lassie learn on her own gar
ments to do the work.
Light-colored chambreys may be
used for dressy occasions, and may be
either trimmed with embroidery, ruf
fles, colored laces, or with feather
stitched hems. Light-colored flannel
ettes make useful winter petticoats.
"While it Is considered more healthful
to use wash material for school
clothes, pure wool is the very best to
wear next the skin, as it retains the
bodily heat while favoring the exhal
ation of perspiration, thus keeping the
body warm and dry. There should be
no admixture of either cotton or linen,
and the material should be soft and
fine rather than thick. Wool fabrics
do not easily burn, hence are desira
ble for school dresses. All cotton
napped materials are dangerous.
Full bloomers matching in color and
material the dress, are very popular
for children's school and play wear.
The bloomers are cut extra full and
bag down well over the knees, and are
finished with a narrow band maJe to
button around the leg. The bloomers
may button at the side. Leggings and
thick-soled shoes should be worn by
all school girls as no amount of
clothing packed about the body will
protect the thinly-clad limbs, while
cold, and often damp feet and ankles
are a prolific source of colds and ca
tarrhs. Don't forget the pocketc in the
school dresses and aprons, and have
plenty of handkerchiefs to put in
them. It will pay.

I wish I could impress upon the
minds of my farm brothers and sis
tersespecially the brothers the im
portance of having a good, family
vegetable garden, and right now is
the time to plan and prepare for it.
No matter what other work is pro
jected, do not overlook the vital im
portance of this one. The "home
market" should be well supplied with
vegetables not only during the sum
mer season, but throughout the year;
other foods are all right, but even
fruits cannot fill the place of vege
tables, and if one must be done with
out, let it be the fruits. The average
farm family finds little for the ta
ble, especially during the late winter
and early spring months, other than
salt meats and bread, with a not
abundant supply of either eggs or
dairy products.
The vegetable garden should not be
left for the care of the women of the
family; vegetables should bo treated
as a "crop," and the vegetable gar
den is one of the best paying invest
ments the farmer can have. It
should have the cultivation of tho
plow and tho horse, and there should
bo enough of it planted to pay for tho
careful cultivation by tho man and
team. There should bo a sufliciency,
not only for the few summer months,
but for the season through, and plenty
to store in cellars and root-houses so
that oven the stock may bo treated
to the luxury of fresh roots in tho
cold months.
The gudo wifo will gladly can, or
dry, or preserve any surplus that may
be about, while the cabbage may bo
either buried, worked up into sauer
kraut, or used fresh as long as it will
last; potatoes are easily stored in a
frostproof cellar, with a few hand
fuls of air-slacked lime spiinkled
among them, or buried In convenient
holes in tho gardens; beets, carrots,
parsnips, salsify, and many other
roots, including turnips, lulabagos,
aro readily kept and easily got at for
use if care is given them. Many ways
of keeping, and also vegetables to be
kept, will suggest themselves to tho
seeker after "home comforts," and it
only remains that they shall be pro
vided, and now Is tho time to plan for
tho growing and to provide for tho
sowing of tho seeds.

Patience is a great possession. No
one ever accomplished much who
lacked it. When your plane, your
hopes seem all likely to fah, don't
give up. "All things coma to him
who waits." A great patience will tiro
out many a pain, and it is a fine
thing to have persistence. When the
world finds out that you aro deter
mined to have your own way; that
rebuffs, obstacles and even disap
pointments cannot turn you aside, it
will cease to oppose you. Sir Isaac
Newton worked twenty years on one
problem. Paliss.v. tho notter. endured
years of discouragement, poverty and
ill-luck, but he kept at the puipose
of his life, and finally won. John
Knox endured the tortures of the gal
ley ship, but he conquered. It takes
fine heroism, wonderful staying qual
ities to succeed under some circum
stances, but it pays. If you would
teach the boys and girls tho import
ance of patience, show them by your
own life what it is. There is nothing
that will lift one over the bad places
so effectually, or set one's feet more
securely on the right road.
shaking tho cloth out fzcquenliy.
Tako a piece of tho loaf, and with tho
cut surfaco rub down tho length of
tho paper in half-yard strokes, be
ginning at the top of tho room until
all the upper part Is cleaned; then
go around again, repeating until all
is gone over, changing the pieces of
bread as they got dirty. If tho paper
Is very dirty, moro than one loaf
may, and probably will, bo needed.
Another way is to tako about two
quarts of wheat bran, tie in a piece of
coarso-meshed flannel and rub tho
paper in tho same way; if done care
fully, so that every spot is touched,
the paper will look almost as good as
now. Dry corn meal may be used in
stead of bread, applying with a cloth.
If there aro any grease spots, put
blotting paper over the spots and
press with a hot ilat-lron. If the pa
per has been torn, see that the pattern
Is matched as carefully as po&slble,
and before applying the patch, paste
a piece of old cloth over the torn
placo, and on this paste tho paper
patch.
Discipline.
Hardship may be but the means
used to develop the character, "but
hardship does not of itself give noble
ness of character. When we consider
how largo a part in the shaping and
directing of the highest personality
has come through meeting and en
during hardships, wo are inclined to
fear that those who have no call to
similar experiences of hardship may
lack the training which would develop
the highest manhood, but the men
who have profited by hardship have
simply done the best they couid do in
the circumstances which surrounded
them, in tho providence of God. There
is no better school for any human
soul than the school of God's own
choosing, and one who does the best
he can, whether he is called to hard
ship or not, is likely to develop a
character for the work Goa has for
him to do, whatever that may be.
"Obedience is better than sacrifice,"
in all the walks of life. Do wen the
duty at your hand.
Drinking Water.
A physician gives tho following
method of purifying water for drink
ing by boiling Boil tho water for
fifteen or twenty minutes, then pour
It into a stone jar and cover with a
piece of cheesecloth. Let it stand In
a cool place for twelve or moro hours,
then put into beer bottles having pat
ent stoppers, and place on tho floor of
the cellar, or in tho refrigerator. Wa
ter prepared in this manner is bright
and palatable. The bottles, stone Jar
and cheese-cloth must bo thoroughly -washed,
scalded and dried each time
they are used. You can get thc bot
tles at a bottling establishment, or
perhaps your grocer will get them for
you. Tho bottles must be cleaned
each time they are used.
In many localities, not alone in the
cities, the wator supply Is often con
taminated, and much sickness may
result therefrom unless great care bo
taken to render it pure by boiling and
bottling. As ordinarily boiled, it is
very unpalataole.
