They are shown upon some of the handsomest of pillows made, but there are some restrictions as to their use. Thin silks, soft oriental crapes and all the multitude of tovely art muslins and cotton stuffs arc eminently suited to just that finish, and all cushions so covered will be frilled. But heavier materials, such as corduroy^ figurod velvet and even the much enduring demin are left quite plain and are simply seamed at the edges. There is not much that is really now, but there are some fresh applications of familiar things that have all the effect of novelty, and these are reported on as follows in the New York Times: Linen, that fabric that has sb steadily gained in favor, is to be found in great- : er variety of colors and qualities than ever before and promises to la- a prime favorite for pillows.

A NEW RAIN CLOAK.

rain cloak It is usually fashioned with a septirate circular cape, which buttons on and hangs in pleasing folds. The general form is quite new, and the remarkably light weight of the whole lenders the little cloak conveniently portable. On recollecting the garment of other times which did service as waterproof, one cannot help feeling a sense of surprise ami satisfaction when examining

these dainty articles.

There are also cloth waterproofs of light weight, with silk linings. Light

of the proceedings of the irrigation congress convening in Denver this SeptemIht will la* read with unusual interest, for this meeting must, in the nature of things, be an unusually Important one. According to the latest census, over half the land already irrigated in the arid region of the west is in California and Colorado. California comes first, with 1,004,233 acres and 13,782 irrigators; then Colorado, with 890,785 and 6,659 respectively, while Montana shows 350,582 and 3,706, and Utah 263,473 acres, with no fewer than 9,726 irrigators. The newest of the states may, in fact, be considered the pioneer of modern American irrigation on a large scale. The remains of old canals and reservoirs in Arizona show how extensively it was carried on there in prehistoric times, but only when the Mormons went to Utah was the present system in that region founded, and the large number of L tab farmers in proportion to the irrigated acreage is in itself suggestive. The last irrigation congress but one was held at Ogden, in Utah; the congress of October, 1893, at

Los Angeles.

Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming are the other states and territories included in what the census denominates the arid regions, the portion of Washington and Oregon thus classed being east of the Cascade range. In the Dakotas, Texas, Kansas and Nebraska there is an aggregate of 66,965 acres irrigated credited to the snbhumid region and bringing the aggregate up to 3,631,381 acres. Since these figures were published no doubt the interest represented by the irrigation congress of IX'.U has lieen con-

The darker colors, of which, by the way, the agra linen shows a multitude both fascinating and tempting, are treated much as silks are. In any color the agra linens can be bought for 76 cents a yard and are 44 inches wide. When to those figures is added the fact that they wear like iron, it is easy to understand the reason of their favor. Their colors are so lovely that they require little decoration. One pillow, which is a model of taste, hits a cover of the linen in dull old red. On it are disks in twos, in threes and singly, all of which are tinted a darker tone with dye paint and are then retinted with a couching of gold. It is all that the most exacting need ask, yet it is simplicity itself. A frill of india silk of the same shade finishes the edge, hut were it left plain it would he sufficiently decorative. Corduroys and figured velvets and velveteens made after the style of the costly Morris velvets promise to be much in vogue for the pillows of large size and for the library couch as well as the drawing room window seat. They are somewhat severe in style, as suits their dignified use, and they are strikingly handsome in their rich dark tones. One shown was quite 27 inches square, tilled with fine feathers and covered with figured corduroy in shades of tan and brown. The very fact that tho figures are woven in place of embroidered, aud that it is absolutely simple and plain, makes it conspicuous, and it is so strong aud sturdy that it seems in its very self to assure you of rest aud com-

fort.

Down is quite the favorite it has been, but is relegated to pillows of small size. Tho larger ones, that are supposed to support a weary back or make comfort able a wooden hacked chair, are filled with feathers, and so are more substantial than would be the down. The softer, more yielding material is reserved for head rests and for the small pillows

Reporter | that fit in so well under the neck and

look so tempting piled on top of tho

larger ones.

A really perfect equipment includes all sorts, but in default of that hair, feathers and down can l>o used to good purpose. Cotton chintz, art muslin, linen aud denim are the best fabrics foi the bedroom couch, and many of them require no decoration beyond that of the ample frill. A new fad is that of couching upon denim a somewhat elaborate pattern not unlike those of the old fashioned braiding. It is very effective and makes a handsome cover, with comparatively little work, but as a help to rest and repose it can hardly bo commended. The ideal pillow undoubtedly is smooth and grateful to touch, and overorna-

bo favorites, though checked tweeds are also employed for making these uarful

garments.

Some of the cloth waterproofs come in ulster shape, with a deep rape, smart ly finished at the neck with a velvet collar. This style is made without sleeves, and (he cape, which is lined with silk, can he worti separately. Au-

of value that is given to lands artificially irrigated there is no dispute. Statistics laid before tho Los Angeles congress showed that the average value of products on such lands ranged from 25 per acre in Wyoming to $19 in California, making a general average through out of $14.89; that the average first cost of bringing witter to thc lands was $H. 15

Her eyes were of hue A most delicate blue. And dark as the night were her tresses. Her dear little mouth was fluted and red. Ami this little French doll was to very well bred That whenever accosted her little mouth said: “Mamma! Mamma!” The stockinet doll, with one arm and one leg. Had once been a handsome >oung fellow. But now he appeared Rather frowzy and bleared In his torn regimentals of yellow. Yet his heart gave a curious thump as he lay In the little toy cart near the window one day And heard tho sweet voice of that French dolly say: “Mamma! Mamma!” He listened so long and he listened so hard That anon lie grew ever so tender. For it’s everywhere known That the feminine tone Gets away with all masculine gender. He up and lie wooed her with soldierly zest, But all she'd reply to the love he professed Were these plaintive words, which perhaps yot- have guessed: “Mamma! Mamma!” H* r mother a sweet little lady of five— Vouchsafed her parental protection. Ami although stockinet Wasn’t blueblooded yet She really could make no objection. So soldier and dolly were wedded one day. And a moment a ^o, as 1 journeyed that way. I’m sure that I heard a wee baby voice say: “Mamma! Mamma!” Eugene Field, ('ircumstan#*#*.

When baking bread, the oven can j spoil the I test dough. It should he a very moderate oven at the first, increasing in heat until the bread has risen to j its full proportions. It should rise gradually and symmetrically. Bread too stiff with flour or too slowly baked will crack. Bread too soft invariably spreads. Bread properly baked will have a fine, 1 firm, but not too thick, crust on all four : sides. If such a crust cannot be attained J in the pan, take the fully cooked loaf : out of the pan and brown one side after

The first oust of t ho systems was put at $29,611, - 000 and their estimated value at $04,412,000, while the irrigated areas were said to have increased in value from $77,490,000 to $296,850,000. Prairie | Farmer, commenting on the foregoing

Tho methods tented at the Illinois station were training (1) on a horizontal trellis, (2) on a single wire, <3) on an ordinary three wire trellis with a roof of hoards, if) on a three wire trellis and (5) on stakes. The horizontal trellis was S'o feet from the ground and was made by stretching throe horizontal wires one foot apart. Tho roof of boards consisted of a V shaped trough made of 12 inch boards and forming a roof 2ft inches wide. The varieties used 4n all systems of training were Concord, Wotden, Moore Early, Ives and Delaware. The yields of grapes were estimated. Taking the five varieties as a whole, they have done best on tho horizontal trellis, though there has not been much difference between that and tho upright three wire trellis except with Concord. The vines on stakes have uniformly made the poorest growth and given tho

An lug#*nion* Hoot Cutter.

Rural New Yorker thus describes a homemade root cutter seen in the barn I of an ingenious young farmer: Two pieces of 2 by 4 ash scantling are i nailed together in the form of an X. Two of these X’sare used for the frame. Cleats nailed across the bottom hold the | frame and serve for the support of the box A, which is under the cylinder to catch th* cut roots. Tho end pieces are ; V shaped aud made of 2 inch plank, I with a hole for the cylinder to turn in. Inch boards, C C, are used to side up

in western poultry is likely to make itself felt all over the country through j improved systems of refrigeration. Over 3,500 Dakota farmers have subscribed to the formation of a company to store their own grain, building an elevator at West Superior, Wis.

Twin beds are gaining in popularity, and when placed side by side appear to a certain extent as one bed. Interior woodwork ought to be finished in natural when tho character of the wood will permit. A varnished or oiled surface is more pleasing than is a painted one. A new art material is sold under the name of Worcester cloth, and it is composed of linen aud cotton. Fashion has decreed that the hack of an upright piano shall bo decorated in some way. A device is invented for lowering a curtain pole so as to admit air at the top of the window. One end of the rod is hinged, and the other has a catch from which it is released by pulling the tassel on tho end of the cord. For uniting cardboard, paper and small articles of fancy work the best glue dissolved with about one-third the weight of coarse brown sugar in the smallest quantity of boiling water is good. When this is in a liquid state, it may be dropped in a thin cake upon a plate and allowed to dry. When required for use, one end of the cake may ho moistened slightly and rubbed on the substances to be joined.
