When, with much parade in Parlia- ment, and army orders... the British soldier was granted his "rise" a few weeks since, the patriotic civilian shook bands with himself, smiled in a self-satisfied way, and sat down to await expectantly the wild rush to the colors of thousands of hitherto reluct- ant ''recrooties," says the London Daily Mail. Perhaps his complacency was not altogether justified. A con- siderable proportion of privates, in" most line regiments, at any rate, are at the present moment poorer than they were before the increase of pay was granted. The full is per flay is only given to men who have reached the physical pro- portions fixed as the standard for infantry. This is as it should be. The taxpayer would be entitled to object were he paying full wages to men who are not up to the standard. But, by a curious coincidence, with- in a few days of the army order grant- ing an increase of pay from the first day of April, an alteration was made in the price list of military clothing. Nearly every article now costs the spt- dier more than formerly. Thus trousers, which occasionally have to be replaced by Tommy at his own ex- pense, having risen from 7s lid to 8e 11d, socks have gone up 1-4d a pair, and similar trifling advances have been made all along the line. To the efficient, who gets his full Is a day, this increase is not, perhaps of such great moment. But to the non - efficient, with his 8 1 -2d -and a man is sometimes several months before drill and exercise produce the desired effect -this alteration is a hardship. When, a man's pocket money is reck- oned by half pennies, a small reduction makes a lot of difference. It is hard- ly, surprising, therefore, that the lines- man is strongly inclined to connect the increase in wages with the increase in the price of articles of clothing sup- plied him by Government, and to say with a wink that he "reckons the hloomin' War Office knows a thing or two."

It is used in every pos- ;ible Na), and oumbines such an olla podrida of stitches that erre wonders it should bear any one particular name. Perhaps its most distinguishing feature is the thick padding over which the satin and button -hole stitches are taken. The figures are not solidly cov- ered, as in French work, but a broad line of heavy work defines the edge, while the centres are filled in with all kinds of stitohes. Great variety is giv- en to the work by using different fill- ing stitches. To obtain the high relief which is de- sirable the padding must be put in very carefully. If it is uneven it will be impossible to give a smooth effect, and if the running etitches are too loosely taken they will full up in places If they are drawn too tightly the ef- fect will be equally deplorable, Coarse cotton can be used for padding and in the first layer the cotton is put hack and forth across, the needle being put in close to the former stitch, so that the cotton is all on the top, and 012 the wrong aide only little edge stitches Fig. 1. Fig. 2. are seen. The nest row has the cot- ton laid on heavily In the opposite dir- ection-tbat is lengthwise, An occa- sional back stitch is take,n to hold the long stitches in place. Sometimes when the relief is to be very high another row of cotton is Laid on lavishly„ and held down to the first two rows by a slight tacking with fine sewing -cotton. The upper row of padding must always run In a direction opposite to the satin stitch that is worked over it. Soft white cord of the kind used for piping may be used for padding stems, but it should be shrunk by dipping in water and drying slowly before using. Although the work is very handsome it shows novel effects rather than strictconsoientiou.sness in being faith- ful to nature. 'In a group of cherries (see Fig. 1), for instance, the largo in- side stitches do not give the round centres one might expect to see. In the specimen cherries the outline is made with heavy ootton in a sort of long chain stitch, with the needle put in at the left side instead of through the loop. When made with short etitohes this work is called rope stitch, and where only an outline is needed it is very useful. Each stitch within the cherries is a loop caught down by a short stitch. The crescent and star, Fig. 2, which is a favorite figure in embroideries: that attempt Oriental effects, has an outline of chain or tambour stitching, whichsuc- cession no one needs to told is su,c bet a cession of single loops. The filling of the figures is in honeycomb stitch, or lace -work, es it used to be called. The first row is a far -apart button -holing; in all the following rows the needle is passed under the loop above, and then into the material a little lower down to draw each mesh into the shape of honeycomb cells. This stitch is used for covering large spaces rapidly. The leaf spray, Fig. 3, is outlined with rope stitch. which, as most ex- perienced embroiderers know, is most simple. the only secret of making it ,p7roperly being the pre.cbse evenness of the, stitches. The very coarse thread used gives the rope stitch the appear- ance of a heavy cord. The centre of each leaf has a line of dots worked over and over. Fig. 3, Fig 4. The ivy leaf illustrated in Fig. 4 is edged with a button -hole stitch tak- en very deeply into the material and worked over a cord. The stitches slant with the shape of the leaf. The vein- ing is a course feather stitch, with the stitches all taken on one side institad of alternately, One, of the leaves in Fig. 5 has half its surface covered with close satin stitch slanted and worked over very heavy padding. The other half is out- lined with button -hole, or " loop edge.' The other leaf is edged with couching made by covering the line with cord, and working a short cross stitch over it at stated intervals. The long stitches crossing the leaf are trellis or herring- bone. The ssnttll dots aro French knots. made by drawing the needle's point through to the right side and wind- ing the thread around it three or four tinnea, and then pushing the point of the needle back to the wrong side as nearly as possible to the place it went in. Fig. 6 has a chain -stitch edge with a filling, or veining made of the "wheat - ear" stit.db whirl) is very much used in Mount Mellick work. To do it properly make a chain -stitch loop first; then take a stitch to the left, bringing the pnint of the needle through where the thread comes from; pull the thread and needle through ; then do the same to the right and make another chain loop, RELIEVES IN SQ MINUTES.

F'lig. 7 is a whole leaf made with long loop stitches each one eau.ght down at the tip wit h a short stitch. The stem is Kensington. or hack, stitch, with the needle taken back nt the side, instead of directly on the line of the previous stitch. Fig. 8 illustrates one of the hand- somest, stit.rhes introduced into Mount. Willett work. Atter a little practice this "bullion stitch" can be deftly and .toady made. The needle is put in from the centre, and brought out at a point from u quarter to a half inch away. The cotton is then wound around the needle as in a French knot, end then the point is put into the cen- tre again. Fig, 9 is a coarse kind of couching ton -hole stitch, across the cord, tak- ing euro not to disturb their regular- ity. 10 is an easily worked stitch that is very useful for outlines or for stems and veins. it is a very long stitch, with a short cross stitch taken back upon it. Fig. 11 is a sort of rope stitch. It is amide similarly to chain stitch, ex- cepting that the needle, instead of be ing taken in the loop, is placed at the left side of it -that is, the needle is put in there with the point coming up through the loop. Like some of the other stitches in use upon this work, the beauty of thia depends upon its precision; each little stitch should slant exactly like its neighbor. Fig. 7. rig. 8. There Is a resemblance between Fig. 12 and the ordinary brier, or coral, stitch. The principle is the same, but the variation consists in putting the stitches close together; and the needle instead of being put under the previous stitch, is placed directly in it, thus making quite a different and more elaborate effect. Mount Mellick is a misapplied name when µsed, as it frequently is, for em- broidery with silk upas rich materials. Lt is always worked with cotton, and invariably upon some material which will bear washing. Thin fabrics are which is very effective in large de- signs upon holland or denim. To make it, lay several lengths of cotton, or what is called crochet, cord, side by side evenly. With a long thread of ootton work a regular far -apart but - unsuitable, us the heavy work tears away from them. Linen sheeting and satin jean are theematerials preferred is Ireland, where the work originat- ed. Fig. 9. Experts say that the cotton used should be all of the 'same size, and rather coarse. For padding, u still coarser number may be used. Many persons use knitting -cotton for the em- broidery, especially upon things which have to be frequently washed. The ef- fect of the soft, white, half -twisted cot- ton upon coarse sheeting is very pretty, much resembling the quaint needle- work of Puritan days. Some of the patterns used in this work abroad are so little modernized that it would be easy to fancy the larger pieces, such as curtains and bed -spreads, were made by hands that stopped working many generations ago. In some specimens of the work ama-' teurs have used colored cottons, but doing so seems to change the charac- ter of the work. TIie big, bold stitches that are so pretty in white look coarse and glaring in colors. Nearly all the larger designs sup- plied for Kensington -work can bo ad- apted to Mount Mellick. Of course the latter isnot suitable for smallall arti- cles cles where delicate material and fine work are required, but it is a quick and pleasing method of decorating such things as bed -spreads, table -covers, sofa -pillows, yacht -cushions, sideboard - scarfs, linen towels, and a host of other things. So much of the embroidery that in undertaken in these days is sight - wrecking in its nature, that it is plea- sant to recommend this coarse, easy - work for leisure hours. There is a Fig 10.

Some of the pieces, like table - covers or curtains, may be too large for convenience in working, but it Is said the work can be done in strips, which may ' be joined together when finished ley cross-stitch overcasting, which, the uninitiated may not know is overhanding, or whipping over a steel knitting -needle, which, when pulled out, leaves an open, fagotlike stitch which makes quite an ornamen- tal joist.

The young German Emperor has what may be called a loud taste in clothes, and is never so happy as when wearing the showiest of uniforms or bunting cos- tumes; indeed, when attired in the latter he looks as though he, bad step- ped out of Drury Lane pantomime, so extraordinary and fantast io is his get- up on these occasions.

The expediency of planting late po- tatoes extensively is a matter regard- ing which fartpers are in doubt. The fact that potatoes have been, and still are bringing unusually high prices, is an 'inducement to try to raise the crop on a large scale this season. On the other hand, says an Eastern exch- ange, the potato crop of lase year was small in yield and inferior in qual- ity, Farmers who found the crop an almost complete failure last fall are not anxious for a repetition of the disagreeable experience, In estimat- ing the probabilities it is also to he remembered that the local acreage planted to the earlier varieties of pota- toes is uncommonly large. Ifowever, a good many late potatoes will be plant- ed, and the unavoidable risks will bo token. With potatoes commanding a high price, many small and infgrior tubers will surely be planted, but this .course will surely be a mistake. Small potatoes are not "just as good" for planting as large ones, whether the large ones are worth $1 a bushel or only 10 cents, No farmer would con- tend that the grain from little nubbins was as good for planting as the corn bosses many a body and bur- dens many a mind. You can't enjoy the food you like because you are bilious. You take all sorts of pre- cautions, and yet the bilious attack leaps on you like a tiger from ambush. You know the feeling ! The blood seeming on fire with a dull heat ; the boring pains in the eyes ; the head seeming to open and shut ; the hor- rible nausea. You know the irrita- bility which precedes and the languor that follows the attack. It's miser- able, isn't it ? Why not cure the trouble ? There's a pill that will cure biliousness. Dr. J. C. AYER'S PILLS are an acknowledged specific for this derangemen t. A. Swanger, Texarkana, Tex., write!,1 "Por fifteen years I have Deed yyor's Pills, and find them very effective in bilious yon. plaints. I have yet to see the case whore they have failed to cure," if Yeo ere Df/lou. Try DO NOT TAM TO AYER'S PILLS from large, well -ripened ears. Such potatoes as the farmer wishes to raise are the kind he should select to plant. The question as to how closely the tub- ers may tudioiously be subdivided for planting is oue upon which farmers do not agree, and Ido not know as they ever will. The scab is one great draw- back to successful potato culture. The simplest of all rules tor a farmer who does not want to raise scabby potatoes is not to plant scabby potatoes. A theory on this sub,jeot that I will not indorse, ulthough it may be correct, is put forth by an agricultural paper. It is that spreading potuLoes where they can remain for eome weeks ex- posed to the strong light of day, but not to the direct rays of the sun kills scabs fungus as well as toughens the sprouts. As an experiment, last sea- son a bushel of scabby potatoes that were not exposed to light were plant- ed and the product was badly affected. The rest of the lot were spread on a barn floor one deep and turned occas- ionally so as to let the light strike all aides of them. Tbey were spread out as soon as danger from freezing was past, and kept on the barn fluor till the last of June, When they were planted the sprouts were stubby, tough and dark green. The potatoes were also green all over. They were cut to one or two eyes without breaking off the sprouts, grew quickly and made a good crop, with not a scabby po- tato in the lot. If clean seed potato- es are planted in ground where scabby potatoes grew the previous year, the crop will be affected. If scabby seed must be used, perhaps the best thing to be recommended is the treatment with formalin. The treatment consists in immersing the seed potatoes for two hours in a solution composed of eight ounces of formlin to fifteen gallons of water. FEEDING COWS ON PASTURE. When the pastures begin to fail it will be necessary to give the cows some extra feed, Indeed, it has been shown to be profitable to give this extra food even in the first flush of the grass, for the increased product not only paid for the extra food, but the condition of the cow was improvedt all through the following winter and into the next summer. Any animal may acquire a reserve force, so to speak, by which the system accumulates the ma- terial for a lengthened product dur- ing a season of lessened supply of food. This extra feeding on the pasture avoids any draft on this accumulated reserve, gained through good feeding during the winter, and prevents t.bat frequent falling off iu condition which to apt to occur while the cows are in the flush of milk, while the pastures are fresh. This has been demonstrated by both practical feeding and scientific tests in which the cows on good pasture have reoeived a liberal addition to the grass of grain food, either simple corn meal or gluten meal, or indeed some change even of green, feed, as peas and oats mixed or green sweet corn with the grain on. It was found at one of the experiment stations that this extra feed was not only liberally paid for during the summer, but its effect was noticeable during the next winter and into the following summer. It has been and still is, my practice to feed 10 His of corn meal daily to kny cones while on the best pasture and to add green cut fodder in addition when the pastures begin to fall later in It he sea- son. And this better feeding has paid well without exception as regards in- dividuals cows. They all respond to the stimulus, while the calves of those cows always improve on their dams to produetive value. SHADE FOR STOCK. If there are no trees in the pasture be sure and provide shade by building a cheap shed with roof but no sides. Better, gains during the hot days will more than offset the cost. Keep the watering tanks full. Nature makes the cures after all. Now and then she gets into a tight place and needs helping out. Thingr get started in the irection. wrong d Something is needed to check disease and start the system in the right direction toward health.
