To Make Tea Cloth
1 Design in Outline in Old Blue on Gray Linen, with Fashionable Darned
Background.
AFTERNOON tea on the porch Is
one of the most pleasant features
possible on a summer day, and it
is essential that the appointments of
the tea table should be in keeping
• with the shady coolness of the porch.
For this cloth, simple designs and
materials of a rather rustic texture
are the most effective, such as home
spun linen, linen huckabuck and crash.
Among the most attractive of the
tea cloths are those with the design
outlined and the background filled in
with darning stitch. Such a one is
shown in the sketch. The water lily
design is outlined with dark green
floss, and the background filled- in
^wdth a lighter shade of green—a de
lightfully leafy, silvery shade like
June foliage. The material is natural
color crash, and the Cluny lace edge
is dyed to match the darker green in
the embroidery.
Another equally pretty color scheme
is grayish linen with outline stitch In
dark old blue, darning in lighter blue,
and the lace matching the darker
shade.
One motif for the border and one
half of the corner are given, to bo
traced on the linen by means of car
bon paper and *a hard lead pencil. A
plain, two-inch hem is put in, with a
| row of outline stitch five inches above
it, and another row five inches from
this, which forms the top of the bor
der. Then the motifs are placed be
tween the two rows, outlined, and the
background filled in.
The cloth when completed should be
one yard square, with a two-inch edge
of lace for a finish. It i3 advisable to
use a good grade of floss, so that It
will not fade, and In washing it is well
to put a good handful of table salt in
the water to set the color. The cloth
is quickly and easily made, and the
result sure to bo pleasing.
BLUE SERGE COSTUME.
Blue serge is very useful for cos
tumes of this description. The skirt
Is quite plain, and is finished at the
foot by a single row of stitching, j
White cloth is used for the collar and !
cuffs of the semi-fitting coat, which !
fastens down center of front by three i
large smoke-pearl buttons.
Hat of straw, trimmed with a wreath I
of flowers and two quills.
Materials required: Six yards serge'
48 inches wide, one-fourth yard wide j
cloth, three buttons, four yards lin
ing for coat.
Cravat with Double Ends.
If you have a atrip of brown silk,
taffeta or messaline. and a little silk In '
pretty contrasting color, such as ecru, j
delicate green or blue, make one of the i
new cravats with double ends. These
are cut like a man's string tie, but
with a difference. A perfectly plain
bias fold of the silk Is used to go
round the neck, but where It meets
in front each end branches off into
two parts, giving four ends In all.
These ends are all lined with silk of a
contrasting color. The effect when
tied Is very pretty. The 'cravat must
not be leas than a yard in leng h.
NOVELTY IN HOME AQUARIUM
One That Is Made with a Picturo
Frame Front and Intended to
Hang on the Wall.
A novelty in balanced or self sun
tainlng home aquairlums is made to
hang up on the wall like a picturo.
The tank is/oblong. narrow- at the bot
tom, but wider at the top. The Bide to
go against the wall is vertical, while
the front slopes up outward, as a pic
ture hangs, and this outer side is In
fact surrounded with a picture frame.
I he hack and ends of thfs aquarium
are inclosed In a metallic holder, with
hooks at. the top by which It may be
hung, and at the back between this
metallic holder and the back wall of
fche glass tank Is inserted a picture, a
landscape having at the bottom in the
foreground a brook.
The bottom of the tank is covered
w-ith gravel, and set In the water is
suitable vegetation sufficient to please
the eye and to keep the water aerated,
and then of course there are the fishes,
and when you have it thus stocked
you hang this aquarium up on the wall
to have the effect of a picture with
fishes swimming around In it.
Water.
Are you forgetting to drink the
proper amount of water every day?
I>o you drink two glasses before
breakfast?
You should.
But by all that is hygienic do not
take your water until your mouth has
been rinsed with an antiseptic and
your teeth thoroughly cleansed.
People who know tell us that an
acid forms during the night in the
mouth and around the teeth. This acid
will decay the teeth, therefore com
mon sense tells us it is not good for
the stomach; it certainly should not
be washed down there deliberately
anyway.
But a cold bath for the average
stomach is a tonic Just as it Is for the
body. Try it.
To Improve the Neck.
To fatten the neck massage with
warm olive oil. A good cold cream Is
excellent, but the best results are ob
tained with the olive oil. To apply
this first wash the neck with warm
water and a mild, pure soap, then
rinse carefully and apply a cloth or
flannel wrung out of hot water and
folded several times. This compress
is kept on until It begins to cool, and
then another is supplied, but do not
prolong the treatment more than ten
minutes This softens the skin and
opens the pores. The oil, slightly
warmed, should be rubbed in, giving
especial attention to the hollows
which should be massaged with a firm
rotary motion.
[I HEROES OF
HISTORY—II
So* of Sira ok*
Extoleth Them.
•Y THE “HIGHWAY AND BYWAY*
PREACHER
Based on the Apocryphal Book of
Ecclesiasticus.
A Prologue to the Book of Ecclesiasti
cus.—This Jesus was the son of Slrach.
and grandchild to Jesus of the same
name with him. This man therefore,
lived in the latter times, after the peo
ple had been led away captive, and called
home again, and almost atter all the
prophets. Now his grandfather Jesus,
as himself witnesseth. was a man of
great diligence and wisdom among the
Hebrews, who did not only gather the
grave and short sentences of wise tnen.
that had been before him. but himself
also uttered some of his own. full of un
derstanding and wisdom. When there
fore the first Jesus died, leaving this
book almost perfected. Slrach his son re
ceiving It after him, left It to his own
son Jesus, who having gotten It Into his
hands compiled It all orderly Into one
volume, and called It Wisdom, entitling
It by both his own name, his father's
name and his grandfather’s. It contain
eth wise sayings, dark sayings, dark sen
tences and parables, and certain particu
lar ancient godly stories of men that
pleased God; also his prayer and song.
This Jesus did Imitate Solomon, and was
no less famous for wisdom and learn
ing. both being Indeed a man of great
learning and so reputed also.
GEMS FROM THE BOOK.
If thou hast understanding,
answer thy neighbor; If not,
lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Be not called a whisperer,
and lie not in wait with thy
tongue.
Pride is the beginning of sin.
Forsake not an old friend;
for the new is not comparable
to him.
Bear not hatred to thy neigh
bor for every wrong; and do
nothing at all by Injurious
practices.
He that toucheth pitch shall
be defiled therewith; and he
that hath fellowship with a
proud man shall be like unto
him.
A fool will upbraid churlish
ly, and a gift of the envious con
sumeth the eyes.
Learn before thou speakest.
Go not after thy lusts, but re
frain thyself from thine appe
tites.
He that is hasty to give credit
is light-minded.
He that can rule his tongue
shall live without strife.
As an arrow that sticketh in
a man's thigh, so is a word
within a fool’s belly.
A man’s attire, an excessive
laughter, and gait, show what
he is.
Wisdom that is hid and treas
ure that is hoarded up, what
profit is In them both?
Better is he that hideth his
folly than a man that hideth his
wisdom. <
A wise man will hold his <
tongue till he see opportunity; j
but a babbler and a fool will re- <
gard no time.
A tale out of season is as <
music in mourning; but stripes {
and correction of wisdom are <
never out of time.
THE STORY.
THE interest which Lycius had man
ifested in the great men of Israel I
had stirred the heart of Jesus the son
of Slrach, and during the days which
followed their conference in the gar
den he had given himself up to much
thought and research, digging up the
dnsty old scrolls of the history of his
people and running through them with
new Interest and eagerness.
"I believe Lycius was right when he
said that It was wrong not to give
these records to the people. What If
the most of them then would be un
moved by them, there are still a few
who would be helped and Inspired
by the memory of those who had
wrought splendidly with God."
Ho had been busy writing and had
let his stylus fall from bis hand while
speaking to himself. Then, picking
It up and placing it with the parch
ment he had been working upon, he
arose with an a*r of determination as
though some new purpose had corne
to him and walked with strong even
strides back towfards the city.
He sought out the governor and told
him all ‘hat was in his heart, and as
he was leaving he asked:
"And thou wilt be there?"
"Yea, and others of the household
with me.”
The steps of the scribe were now
directed towards the market-place of
the city, whither the people were
wont to gather when any matter of
special Importance was to be dis
cussed. s
"I will go and see that the place is
(n readiness agalDst the gathering of
the people this evening. And we will
five the people a message that per
haps will stir them to better living.
But I must find I«yctus," be said, sud
denly remembering that he had not
seen him all day. He was about to
turn back in the direction of his
home, when voices from the direction
of the market place drew bis atten
tion.
"I will go first and see what there
Is that is going on there, and will
then find Lycius, for he would be
greatly cheered to know that hia
suggestion of a few days ago is
being acted upon," be said to him
•alf as hs walked along.
By this thne he had reached the m*
skirts of the crowd which he found
assembled in the market place, end
with wonder and surprise he pressed
hie way through to the spot where a
man stood reading.
“What! You. Lyclus?” he ex
claimed in amazement. "How came
you here? Aud what art thou do
ing?”
"Listen, and thou shalt hear.” re
plied the man, enthusiastically, as he
again took up the scroll aud pointed
out over the eager, upturned faces
before him.
“Ah, I see. Thou hast tleverly
stolen a march on me,” replied Jesus,
not at all displeased. “I hare just
come from the house of the governor
and had asked him to arrange for a
gathering of the people in the market
place that we might do the very thing
which you are now doing with such
good results.”
“Yea, I could not let the storisa of
the heroes of Israel go unused. See
how the people enjoy them,” and be
ginning at the point where the inter
ruption had come he continued to fin
ish the scroll which a few days before
he had written.
“And is that all?" they asked, as he
finished reading.
Lyclus turned Inquiringly towards
Jesus, and noting by his nod that ho
would not disappoint tho people, he
lifted his voice and spoke to the as
sembly, saying:
"it Is all I have, but Jesus tho son
of Sirach is here and will tell theo
more concerning the heroes of Israel."
“Who wa8 the successor of Moses?”
began Jesus, reading from the scroll
he had taken from his boBom. “Was
it not Jesus the son of Nave, who
w-as valiant in wars. How great
glory gat he, when he lifted up his
hands, and stretched out his sword
j against the cities! Did not tho sun
go back by his means? and was not
j one day as long as two? The Lord
gave strength also unto Caleb, which
! remained with him to his old age, so
that he entered upon the high places
of the land, and his seed obtained it
for an inheritance. And concerning
the judges every one by name, whose
hearts departed not from tho Lord,
let their memory bo blessed. Samuel,
the prophet of the Lord, beloved of
the Lord, established a kingdom, and
anointed princes over his people. And
nfter him rose up Nathan to prophecy
in the time of David. As is tho fat
taken nway from the peace offer in*,
so was David chosen out of the chil
dren of Israel. He played with lions
as with kids, and with bears ns with
lambs. Slew ho not a giant, when ho
i was yet young? And did he not take
1 away reproach from the people, when
he lifted up his hand with the stone
in tho sling, and beat down the boast
ing Goliath? For he culled upon tho
most high Lord; and he gave hlin
strength in his right hand to slny the
mighty warrior, and set up tho horn
of his people.”
A shout went up from tho people
as he spoke of David. It was one
of tho favorite stories with them.
“Yea, wo know him,” they cried.
“And dost thou know his son?”
“Solomon? Solomon!" they cried.
“Yea. and he was a wise son, and
reigned in a peuecable time, and was
honored by God, for he made all quiet
around him, that he might build an
house in his name, and prepare his
snnetuary for ever. And tho coun
tries marveled at him for the songs
and proverbs and parables, and in
terpretations, but he did stain his
honor and pollute his seed so that his
sin brought the wrnth of the Lord
upon the children of Israel. And the
kingdom was divided. And—”
The voice of Jesus tho son of SI
rach broke. Sadness filled his heart
as he realized the decline of the once
favored nation.
“Yen, and though the people sinned
God did send his prophets to turn
them back to him. He sent Elias,
the prophet who camo ns a fire,' his
word burned ns a lamp. Elias it
was who was covered with a whirl
wind and Eliseus was filled with his
spirit. Whilst he lived he was not
moved with the presence of any
prince, neither could any bring him
into subjection. But for all this the
people repented not, neither departed
they from their sins. And we have
fallen upon evil days,” concluded
Jesus. “Oh that these examples of
old might turn your hearts to God and
innke thee realize that trouble and af
fliction come in the wake of wrong
doing.”
“Amen and amen,” exclaimed Ly
clus.
And as be and Jesus walked home
ward after the great meeting, the for
mer said:
“I am glad I came and have heard
of the heroes of thy history. Now do
I know that there is blessing in fol
lowing the I»rd."
“Yea, I am glad, too, and that thou
bast encouraged the gathering of the
people. May it be for their good/'
New Russian Temperance Law.
Russia will have a temperance meas
ure well worth while, if the proposal
now under discussion passes the
douma, says the Home Herald. It*
purpose is to restrict the consumption
of intoxicating liquors by Increasing
the capacity of the smallest measure
which can he sold to one-fortieth of a
kilderkin- (about one-half gallon) and
reducing the number of places where
liquor ran be bought. The Inhabitants
of villages are also given the privilege
to close existing public houses and to
prohibit the opening of new ones,
while the local councils may restrict
the hours of sale. It Is not known as
yet how the douma will Hue up on
the proposition, but the friends of the
measure are cheered by the fact that
the council of state has d'KJded In ita
favor.
SUCCESSOR])) DIAZ
Mexico Concerned Over Coming
Vice-Presidential Election.
Ramon Corral. * Protege of Diaz, and
Gon. Reyes. Idol of Army. Lead
ing Candidates Now. With Jose
Limantour a Possibility.
City of Mexico.—What is quite gen
erally conceded to be equivalent to a
campaign for the presidency of Mex
ico is now being waged in this coun
try, the contestants being Ramon
Corral, tho present vice-president, and
Gen. Uernardo Reyes, governor of the |
state of Nuevo l^eon. These men are
active candidates for vice-president.
The election is not until next yenr.
and the race promises to become very
exciting by that time.
President Dlax, who has agreed to ac
cept the presidency for another term
of six years, will be 80 yenrs old Sep
tember 15. 1910, and It can hardly be
expected that he will live out his term
of office. It Is for this reason that
so much importance Is attached to the
electldn of a vice-president.
The vice-presidency of Mexico wns
created by an amendment to the con
atltution alx years ago, and Ramon
Corral was the first man elected to
that office. His election was a mere
formality, as he was in reality selected
for the place by President Dlax. who
is said to have had him In training
with the view of making him his suc
cessor. Vice-President Corral was re
cently renominated for tho office on
the ticket with President Dlax. The
nomination wns not unanimous, ns
some of the delegates to the conven
tion insisted in voting for Gen.
Reyes, and others wanted to support
Jose Ives Limantour, present minis
ter of finance, hut the Corral adher
ents were in the majority nnd their
candidate wns nominated.
The nomination of Oen. Reyes for
vice-president has not been dono in
the usual convention form. Ho has
been put up for the office by means of
numerously signed petitions by bis
friends and admirers all over the
country. It was originally planned
that he wns to be a candidate for
president, but when Dlax reconsidered
his intention of not again being a
candidate for the high office, It wns
decided that Reyes should mnko tho
rare against Corral for vice-president.
The anti-American Issue promises
to become largely involved in this
campaign. Supporters of Gen. Reyes
are already making an open clinrge
that it was through Mr. Corral that
Ramon Corral, Vice-President of
Mexico.
E. H. Harriman obtained from the
Mexican government a remarkably
favorable concession for the railroad
which he |g building down the Pa
cific slope Of Mexico, and that the
great. American railroad magnate will
draw from the public treusury of Mex
ico as a subsidy for building this road
more than $10,000,000. It Is claimed
that Mr. Harriman has other great in
dustrial favors to ask of the Mexican
government and that he is lending his
aid to bring about the election of Mr.
Corral to another term as vice-presi
dent and to ultimately elevate him to
the presidency.
Mr. Corral, ns vice-president, per
forms the dual duty of minister of the
Interior. In this office he supervises
the Internal affairs of the country, In
which many Americans, among them
Mr. Harriman, are Interested, but his
friends deny that he has extended any
unusual favors to any person.
Mr. Corral Is unpopular with the
army, nnd without Its united support
Mr. Corral, or any other ruler of Mex
ico, would be badly handicapped In
preserving peace and order. Oen.
Keyes is the idol of the army. His
bravery has been proved upon many
battlefield*. He also has the confi
dence and highest respect of a largo
part of the business element through
out the country. It is stated thHt Oen.
Keyes personally deplores the fact
that, the anti American issue has been
Injected Info the campaign. During
the long period that he has been con
stitutional governor of the state of
Nuevo Leon he has always extended
a warm welcome to the Investment of
American capital In that common
wealth. Monterey, the capital of the
state and the home of Qen. Reyes,
Is the most Americanised city in
Mexico. Many millions of dollars of
American capital are Invested there
In smelters and other large Industrial
enterprises, it has been through the
liberal encouragemet offered by Oen.
Keyes to Investments of this charac
ter that has caused that city to grow
and prosper to a wonderful degree.
