At one end a small hole must be cut for the in- gress and egress of the tenant. It is as well not to cut the hole too large if your object be to indu€e the tits to take up their abode in hese boxes rather than the ubiquitous sparrow. The boxes should be nailed against a tree or well beâ€" .twee five feet and eight feet from the ground, and should not be filled with any nesting material, for you may be sure that if a. bird selects the sight for its home it will first of all turn out everything that it contains and start afresh on its nest. Boxes of the size given will probably be tenanted during the coming spring by one or other of the following birds: great tit, blue tit, cole tit, marsh tit, redstart; perhaps a shy nuthatch, who will take the precaution to seal down the lid with clay and contract the entrance with the same material; or it may be a wryneck, who is quite capable of evicting a. tenant, and who, after turning out the nest and its con- tents, will lay the eggs upon the bare wood and rear its family in seeming discomfort.

He came over where she was. She partly closed her eyes but not enough but that she could see that the man was her father. He picked her up in his arms and carried her home to her mother.

LONG â€"FORG OTTEN PICTURE, ARTIFICIAL N F ail themselves of whose picture STS fl The simplest Weaving, says Mrs. Wheeler. is warp of indigo blue and white filling. There must be an al- lowance of five inches of warp for fringe before the Weaving is begun, and ten inches betwaon the first and second rugs, to make the fringe for each. The rug should measure three feet by six, Without the fringe. The latter is to be knotted, six threads to a knot. Such a rug can be as easily washed as a counterpane, or may be thrown on the grass during a heavy shower and be thus Washed. Cotton bought by the yard is more ‘expensive, and it would be necessary to figure out the cost and see Whether rugs could be made at a profit by using it. To many it would seem a. crime to buy new goods to tear up into carpet rags. ‘nought by the piece, the goods would come cheaper. The old fashioned way of sewing carpet rags will not answer in this new departure. The filling must be smooth, without, lfunps; or ends. 1f the pieces are large enough the edges may be lapped and sewed on the 1113.- chine; the lap should be from a quarâ€" ter to half an inch, and be sewed twice. The cloth can then be tom the seams being; cut with the scisr sors; the work is expeditiously done, and a smooth finish secured. The rags should be torn instead of cut, wherâ€" ever possible, as uniform Width is thus secured. In ordinary cotton cloth an inch is recommended as the most suitable width. A pound and a half of cotton rags will make a yard of yardâ€"wide weaving. Variations on this are easily made. One way is to use half a pound of blue rags to the two and a half reâ€" quired to make up the three pounds of {Wing rcguirod for a six foot rug. reasonably fast, and the orange “runs” so badly that it must be steeped in Warm Water before using; and she adds that she has used the water in which it has been steeped to dye cotton rags. which take a good lemon yellow from it. Orange red, and the crimson red known as Cardin-- a1 she excepts from the usual comâ€" mercial dyes. Iiy dipping orange warp in indigo blue it fast, bright green can be secured, and this with the colors mentioned, give a choice of five colorsâ€"green, blue, orange, red and white. Rugs intended for sale must be made of new rags, and here the question of economy must be considered. The Waste from cotton mills can be bought for from ten to twelve cents per pound, and consists for the most part of piece ends,â€"the imperfect beâ€" ginnings and endings that must be torn off when the piece is made up. This makesan ideal go. Mrs. Wheeler says that orange and a very deep red are the only two colors in Warp that she has found reasonably fast, and the orange Mrs. Wheeler recommends the colorâ€" ing of Warp and rags at home, by the oldâ€"fashioned process, which pro- duced fast colors. Some of the ani- line dyes fade, and rugs that fade would soon bring discredit on the enâ€" tire industry. A faded warp is esâ€" pecially detrimental to the good looks of a rug. A good indigo blue Will neither run nor fade, and a number of shades can be produced with indi- THE FIRST NECICSSITY, after the loom, is the carpet warp, which can be bought at any country storeâ€"a fact which shows the prevaâ€" lence of home Weaving. The Warp can be bought in white or colors, the latter being not always reliable. One of the chief recommendations of these rugs is that they are washable, there- fore the colors must be fast and not fade or "run," Just at. present, rag rugs are quite "the proper thing" for the floors of country and seaside cottages for piazzas, for bedrooms, and bath- rooms, and for general use. They have been found 10 be durable, suitable and economical for such purposes, and have been seen on sale at the Ware- rooms of one of the largest dccorat~ ing firms in this city. The rugs are woven out of new rags, in two-yard lengths, with border and fringe at each end, and are not only useful but salable. Rag carpets have been made for many years and almost every counâ€" try neighborhood has even got its "Wen,ver"â€"who is usually over- crowded Wilh Work, and has no time for rug-Weaving. It would be pos- sible to set up a new industry With- out infringing upon the established one. Few old looms still exist, un- fortunately; the era of cheap jute and ingrain carpets brought most of them to the woodâ€"pile, and the secret of the onlv difficult part of weaving, the warpimz. or placing the warp in the loom, died with the Women who years ago, Wronght upon them. There are still looms to he purchased, how~ ever, and where an old loom still stands the secret of warping may be learned from the nearest weaver. HOME MADE RUGS. Mrs. Candace Wheeler, well known as a promoter of women's industries and for her articles on and designs for home decoration, has written a book on "How to Make Rugs" in which she suggests that the weaving of mg rugs might solve the prob- lem of how to earn an independent income for some women in farm income homes. § About MATERIAL FOR W HAVING sewed IFurmor Imperial Soupâ€"Cook a sliced onion and carrot in one teaspoonful of butter three minutes, then add one quart stock.

Bake apples for breakfast. Bake them the day before, if you haven’t time to do it before the meal, and if the family prefer them warm, just set them in the warmer. Serve with nice sweet cream and you have a healthful, appetizing dish, which tends to reduce the quantity of meat eaten. After one is 30, the tendency of the average individual is to eat more meat than is good for him. The baked apples supply the digestive tract with fruit acids, which aid di- gestion and supply mineral salts also.

Roll thin, cut as desired, and bake in a quick oven. This blue material must be distributed through the rug evenly, and a. good Way is to divide each color into three portions so there is an equal share of the blue in each third of the rug. A BORDER AT EACH END. may be made by wearing in from eight. to ten or even more threads of blue or any desired color, and scat- tering the rest "haphazard" in short lengths through the body 01’ the rug. Dark and light blue rugs on a. white Warp make an efi'ective rug, and where much blue denim is Worn the materiâ€" al is easily secured.

The rule is ,a light warp with dark filling, and dark warp with light or white filling. Larger rugs can be made by sewing breadths together and adding a bor- der. Mrs. Wheeler advocates the buying of cheap, coarse muslins and calicoes which can be bought at from {our to five cents a yard. From eight, to ten yards, according to fineness, will make a yard of weaving.
