PRINTED PATCHWORK. 
In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold, 
Alike fantastic if too new or old; 
Be not the first by whom the new are tried, 
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. —Pope. 
....Phillips Brooks: “Truth is too 
eager to wait for any one soul to appro¬ 
priate it perfectly before it presses on 
through it to other souls.” 
_Mrs. M. D. Morton: “Woman’s 
moral action is more like a special provi¬ 
dence, acting without fixed rules, but 
caring for each particular case, and the 
influence of woman is wanted wherever 
it possibly can be utilized.” 
_Lillie Hamilton French in Har¬ 
per’s Bazar : “ Don’t let your children 
scowl, or wrinkle their noses, or screw 
up their eyes and mouths ! Don’t let 
them do so so many ugly things, or think 
so many ugly things, and their faces 
won't grow ugly ! ”

PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
and pattern number, and inclose 10 cents. 
Each pattern is complete with instruc- 
to one pint of 
of sweet cream 
beaten to a foam and stirred in gently. 
Always use the day made. 
If desired to serve in cakes or balls, 
pour the curds into a bag and submit to 
pressure, or into any molds or shapes 
desired, and then pour the cream around 
when served, one mold to each person. 
Some people rinse the curds after strain¬ 
ing, but I think that it renders the 
cheese indigestible, as it is the whey 
which is nutritious. E. K. beebe.

6727. Ladies' Wrapper with Watteau 
Plait. 
The full fronts are gathered at the 
top and arranged on the linmg, under 
the lower edge of the yoke. Under-arm 
gores give a smooth effect over the hips, 
the back being fitted with curved side 
and center back seams. The Watteau 
falls in graceful fullness to the lower 
edge of the skirt, all seams being sprung 
below the waist to give the ripple effect. 
Pointed belt sections are inserted at the 
under arm seams, holding in the front 
fullness at the waist line. A Byron 
collar finishes the neck. Pattern No. 
6727 is cut in sizes for 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 
42 and 44 inches bust measure. 
IS IT ANY DISGRACE? 
“ \A/ ELL ’ Ma ffg ie ’ 1 would not dis_ 
VV grace myself by getting into 
that drain along with that old darkey. 
And the idea of you sawing the ends off 
from the planks and poles, and driving 
the nails yourself ! ” 
“ Well, Helen, I did not consider that 
I wqs disgracing myself, although I 
know that it is a terrible thing in the 
South, if a woman does any kind of 
work that savors of man’s work. John 
is not able to attend to it, and some one 
must, who has head enough to do it 
right. This is the third time it has been 
opened in the last eight years, and the 
cellar has been flooded every time a big 
rain came. In that time, we have had 
no end of sickness, and I consider that is 
half, if not all, the cause. So I concluded 
to come out myself, and help, and if it 
do this time, tile must be got, but as 
we could not afford it now, we must try 
this. Had John stayed with the two 
men he hired last year, he might have 
had it all right; but he showed, and 
told them how he wanted it done, and 
went on to other work. And did they 
do it as he told them ? No; and I have 
been provoked with myself ever since, 
that I did not go out then and boss the 
job.” 
Is it a disgrace to do as I am doing ? 
The negro is not capable of doing so 
particular a piece of work, and it would 
be hard to find one that is. So 1 under¬ 
take myself to do the head work, and 
the most particular part of the work, 
while the negro does the lifting and 
holding that is needed. I would like to 
have the opinion of The Bubal New- 
Yorker readers. r. w. 
the older child. The latter needs it 
more, and the former will not miss any 
love for many months to come. More¬ 
over, it is not improbable that it may 
turn the affection of the older child to¬ 
ward the younger. 
For the Dining Table. —Every house¬ 
keeper nowadays has, or should have, a 
silence cloth for everyday use as well as 
for special occasions, says the American 
Kitchen Magazine. Table padding, felt¬ 
ing or double-faced Canton flannel, may 
be found at all the large dry goods 
houses, especially for this purpose. An 
old blanket will answer if new material 
cannot be obtained. This silence cloth 
protects the polished table from 
scratches, or discolorations from hot 
dishes or the spilling of liquids, saves 
the wear of the linen cloth along the 
edge of the table, and gives it a richer, 
heavier appearance ; and most import¬ 
ant of all its merits, it prevents any noise 
in the serving. It is desirable to have 
the silence cloth long enough to allow 
for the extra leaf needed on special 
occasions, and if too long, at other 
times, it can be pinned at the corners 
around the table legs, or you may put 
several loops on the cloth and some 
tacks to correspond on the inside of the 
table frame, and hook the cloth up out 
of the way. 
TO MAKE POT CHEESE. 
I SEND you my method of making cot¬ 
tage cheese or schmierkiise. The 
milk should not be over 24 hours old and 
must be curdled quickly. If the weather 
is cool, do not attempt making. The 
cream should be removed immediately 
before setting the milk to heat. Place 
the earthen vessel in a pan of hot water 
upon the stove, or if the jar has feet, 
put a stove lid between the jar and the 
stove, so that the heat does not come in 
direct contact with the vessel contain¬ 
ing the milk. Subject to quick heat, or 
moderately hot, until the curd forms. 
By cutting in squares with a case knife, 
the warm whey aids coagulation. When 
the curds appear crumbling, and when 
taken between the fingers, can be 
crushed—they are sufficiently cooked. 
If desired to serve soft, pour into a col¬ 
ander, and do not drain very dry. Pour 
out into an earthen dish, and allow the

ODDS AND ENDS . 
A Good Soup. —The cook recently in¬ 
vented this soup, which was much praised 
by the family : Cook till tender, one 
pint celery cut in bits, and three table¬ 
spoonfuls of pearl tapioca. Add about one- 
half cupful of canned salmon, and the 
thin crust of a biscuit, both broken fine, 
butter, pepper and salt to taste, and 
water to make the desired consistency. 
The celery used is what would otherwise 
be thrown away as unfit for table use, 
merely the outside stalks and the roots. 
The salmon was left from a previous 
meal. sweet fern. 
Jealousy in Children. —A writer in 
the Household gives some much-needed 
advice : 
“ How does Alice like the advent of 
the new baby?” was recently asked of 
a devoted aunt of some little ones. 
Alice was a sweet, winning child of 
four or thereabouts, and was the ad¬ 
miration of her family and all their 
friends. 
“ Oh, she doesn’t seem to mind at all,” 
was the answer. “I don’t think that 
children have a thought of jealousy or 
neglect in any way, if the idea isn't put 
into their small heads,” the youthful 
aunt went on, with conviction. 
The young woman had struck the root 
of the matter. If one would only avoid 
alludiog to the dethronement of little 
people in like instances, how the sensi¬ 
tive feelings of children would be 
spared ! It might considerably affect 
their dispositions and temperaments. 
Do not give too much time or affection 
to the new little life at the sacrifice of 
Drs 
and. 
Mustbe. 
You choose the old doctor 
before the young one. Why? 
Because you don’t want to en¬ 
trust your life in inexperienced 
hands. True, the young doctor 
may be experienced. But the old 
doctor must be. You take no 
chances with Dr. Maybe, when 
Dr. Mustbe is in reach. Same 
with medicines as with medi¬ 
cine makers — the long-tried 
remedy has your confidence. 
You prefer experience to experi¬ 
ment—when you are concerned. 
The new remedy viay be good 
— but let somebody else prove 
it. The old remedy must be 
good — judged on its record of 
cures. Just one more reason ( 
for choosing AYER’S Sarsa- < 
parilla in preference to any 
other. 11 has been the standard 
household Sarsaparilla for half 
a century. Its record inspires 
confidence — fifty years of 
cures. If others may be good, 
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla must be. 
You take no chances when you 
take AYER’S Sarsaparilla. 
your doctor. The doctors ap¬ 
prove of Scott's E mulsion. 
For whom? For men and 
women who are weak, when 
'they should be strong; for 
babies and children who are 
thin, when they should be fat; 
for all who get no nourishment 
from their food. Poor blood 
is starved blood. Consump¬ 
tion and Scrofula never come 
without this starvation. And 
nothing is better for starved 
blood than cod-liver oil. 
Scott's Emulsion is cod- 
liver oil with the fish-fat taste 
taken out. 
SCOTT’S EMULSION has been endorsed by 
the medical profession for twenty years. (Ask 
your doctor.) This is because It Is always 
palatable—always uniform—always contains 
the purest Norwegian Cod-liver Oil and Hypo- 
phosphites.
