THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
599 
walks and drives, all over several acres 
of ground; he steers it around the posts 
and corners, around the curves of the 
paths, makes his way through crowds of 
people without colliding with them. He 
amuses himself by the hour at this 
pastime. When he tires of it, he some¬ 
times shoves the vehicle up in some corner 
and leaves it. 
Consul also smokes cigar, cigarette or 
pipe. He often finds a cigar stub about 
the place, picks it up, puts it in his 
mouth, and goes to his keeper for a light. 
One amusing habit he has is that of spit¬ 
ting; he is not very skillful in this, but 
is persistent. However, he has the po¬ 
liteness not to spit on the floor; he 
spreads a piece of paper on the floor, 
and uses it as a cuspidor. 
Consul uses a handkerchief the same 
us a person does ; he eats with a knife 
and fork, cuts up his food with ease, 
and never uses his fingers in eating ; he 
can blow a horn, but does not attempt 
to carry any tune. He knows the first 
three letters of the alphabet, which he 
has painted on a set of blocks; when 
asked for any one of the three, he will 
select it and hold it up. 
PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
for waist patterns, waist measure for 
skirt patterns, and pattern number, and 
inclose 10 cents. Each pattern is com¬ 
plete with instructions for cutting and 
putting garments together. For chil¬ 
dren’s or misses’ patterns, send age. 
Ladies’ Fancy Basque. 
The fanciful fronts are simply arranged 
over smooth linings that close in the 
center, the jacket fronts flaring apart 
over a full vest portion of tissue over 
satin that closes under the left front 
edge. The smooth yoke bolero of satin 
is included in the right shoulder, arm’s 
eye and under-arm seams, and closes on 
the left. The back is rendered glove- 
fittiDg by the usual seams, the shaping 
below the waist line forming a stylish 
pointed ripple basque. The sleeves are 
arranged over fitted linings, the tops 
being faced with tissue over satin to 
match the vest. The lower portions of 
the sleeves are of the material, and over¬ 
lap the top in rounded outline, the trim¬ 
ming finishing the edges The smooth, 
standing collar of satin is covered with 
a band of jet embroidery, loops and ends 
of satin forming a stock bow at the back. 
Pattern No. 6845 is cut in sizes for 32, 
34, 36, 38 and 40 inches bust measure. 
ODDS AND ENDS . 
Seeded Tomatoes. — It is an easy 
matter when preparing tomatoes for 
canning or for the table, to slip out of 
their pockets the bula of the seeds. The 
seeds are very harmful to all persons 
with digestive or intestinal ailments, 
and should not be eaten. Moreover, 
some persons who have experimented 
with tomato canning, think that the 
fruit which is put up without the seeds, 
keeps much better. m. w. f. 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “ Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best — Adv. 
To Prevent Jars Breaking. — For 
several years, I have filled glass jars 
with hot fruit without ever losing a jar 
by cracking with the heat. My method 
is to set the jar on a wet cloth. That 
seems simple, and it is, but it is effec¬ 
tual. I cannot understand why the wet 
cloth prevents breakage, but I know it 
does. Try it. mrs. a. a. k. 
At a Great Bargain, Pause Awhile.— 
Often what might be called a good bar¬ 
gain, becomes a bad investment to the 
one who makes it, unless his or her cir¬ 
cumstances fit the purchase. A person 
who has no use for a horse except an 
occasional ride for pleasure, would make 
an unwise move if he bought one that 
was offered him at half its value. The 
horse would soon become too expensive 
for him to keep, and it would be cheaper 
for him to hire a horse whenever he had 
use for one, than to feed and care for 
one of his own. So with many other 
things, if we do not need them, even 
though they seem to be great bargains, 
we would better resist the temptation 
to buy. AUNT RACHEL. 
CRUMBS FROM DIFFERENT TABLES. 
The tear down childhood's cheek that flows, 
Is like the dewdrop on the rose. 
When next the summer breeze comes by 
And waves the bush, the flower is dry. 
—Scott. 
... .Phillips Brooks : “ You never felt 
a new power start up within you that a 
new weakness did not start up by its 
side.” 
....Modes and Fabrics: “There is a 
great difference between accepting a 
husband merely in order not to remain 
single, and accepting one for the sake of 
spending the remainder of one’s life with 
a particular man—a difference the im¬ 
portance of which few girls appreciate.” 
... .The Housekeeper : “No one can 
be absolutely sure that his position is 
right, his opponent’s position wrong, and 
all discussions should be entered into 
more with a view to learning from an¬ 
other by comparison of opinions than to 
convince him of the infallibility of those 
you entertain.” 
-Margaret Sutton Briscoe in Har¬ 
per’s Bazar : “ There is no garment so 
becoming as an easy, happy mind, and 
the house-mother, if she be wise, will 
don it on rising ; or if she be wily, and 
find only a garment of somber hue in her 
wardrobe when she opens its door, she 
will speedily weave into its dullness 
forced brightness and determined cheer, 
for what she wears at breakfast she may 
be sure all her little court will copy and 
wear faithfully throughout the day.”

Blood Pure? 
Is it? Then take Ayer’s Sar¬ 
saparilla and keep it so. Is n’t 
it? Then take Ayer’s Sarsa¬ 
parilla and make it so. One 
fact is positively established 
and that is that Ayer’s Sarsa¬ 
parilla will purify the blood 
more perfectly, more economi¬ 
cally and more speedily than 
any other remedy in the mar¬ 
ket. There are fifty years of 
cures behind this statement; a 
record no other remedy can 
show. You waste time and 
money when you take anything 
to purify the blood except 
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

Is about as near perfection as 50 years 
of Lamp-Making can attain to. It 
burns kerosene, and gives a powerful, 
clear.white light, and will neither blow 
nor jar out. When out driving with 
't the darkness easily keeps about two 
hundred feet ahead of your smartest 
horse. When you want the very best 
Driving Lamp to be had, ask your
