The Rural Patterns. 
The apron patterns shown can be 
made in a variety of fine vvlii'.c materials, 
and are also charming in (lowered dim¬ 
ity or batiste. Both the pointed aprons 
are cut in three sections, for the bib, 
the centre section extends above the 
waist line. The round aprons are made 
in one piece each and the one to the 
right is trimmed on indicated lines. Ties 
and a belt finish the upper edges of all. 
The quantity of material required for 
any apron is one yard 27 or .'56, % yard 
44 inches wide with 3)4 yards of inser¬ 
tion, 3% yards of edging for pointed 
apron with bib, 2)4 yards of insertion, 
3*4 yards of edging for pointed apron 
without bib; five yards of insertion, 
three yards of edging for round apron 
without pockets, two yards of insertion, 
three yards of edging for round apron 
with pockets. The pattern 6480 is cut 
in one size only; price 10 cents. 
Every variation of the yoke skirt is 
in style just now. This one is simple 
and very generally becoming, and is 
adapted to a variety of seasonable ma¬ 
terials. The skirt portion is straight, 
and consequently can be used for bor¬ 
dered materials, as well as for plain ones. 
The yoke is circular and smooth over 
the hips. One of the pretty fashionable 
plaid woolen materials makes the skirt 
illustrated. The skirt consists of the 
yoke and the plaited portion, the yoke 
is fitted by means of darts, and the 
straight plaited portion is laid in back¬ 
ward turning plaits, that are pressed 
flat and give long lines. The closing is 
made invisibly at the back. The quantity 
of material required for the medium 
size is 6)4 yards 27, 4*4 yards 44 or 3)4 
6479 Straight Plaited Skirt with Yoke, 
22 to 30 waist. 
yards 52 inches wide, w : dth of skirt at 
lower edge yards. The pattern 
6479 is cut in sizes for a 22, 24, 26, 28 
and 30 inch waist measure; price 10 
cents. 
Curing Wings. 
I would like to cure some wings, so 
that the moths would not care to go in 
them. Would some one who has had 
experience offer advice? h. b. 
Winter Parsley. —If the housekeepers 
who use parsley freely for seasoning 
and decorating would transplant a few 
roots into a flower pot, or sow a few' 
seeds, they would have a pretty plant 
for the kitchen window, both useful 
and ornamental. n. v. d. 
Home Nrfture Study. 
The Cornell College of Agriculture 
has, for several years, been sending out 
leaflets especially designed for use in 
the rural schools of the State. There 
have been six thousand copies in each 
issue—there are about twelve thousand 
schools. Each teacher receiving a coov 
has been asked to preserve it for future 
use. Probably but a small percentage of 
the copies are available to-day. Our 
teaching force is constantly changing, 
so but very few of the schools are get¬ 
ting the benefit of these most valuable 
lessons. The work is so arranged that 
the most inexperienced teacher, with 
just a little enthusiasm, cannot fail to 
make the lessons interesting to her pupils 
and gain both knowledge and increased 
power of observation for herself. No 
subject taught is of more importance 
than this subject of nature-study. With 
eyes that see not and cars that hear 
not. thousands of people drag out a 
sordid existence, while surrounded by 
objects of interest and beauty. Our 
boys and girls are being given an op¬ 
portunity to see, and to hear more, if 
our school officers and teachers are doing 
their duty. 
How many of us neither see nor hear 
the bird in the tree above us! 11 low 
many of us pass the mossy, ferny rock, 
the dainty clump of violets, the waving 
plumes of the goldenrod and never 
know we have passed them ! The child 
trained to observe the teeming life about 
him—to know intimately tree and (lower, 
insect and bird—cannot help seeing and 
hearing. His knowledge increases every 
day he lives, and his life is proportion¬ 
ately richer. The day is here when the 
farmer, to be successful, must know the 
plant and animal lie deals with as his 
grandfathers never dreamed of knowing 
them. He must know the constituents 
of his soil, that he may add what is 
lacking. He must know the insect life, 
that he may find means of destroying 
the harmful and preserving the benefi¬ 
cial. He must know so many things that 
he must begin learning them while yet 
a boy. We should then see to it that 
the teaching of nature study in our 
schools is not a mere farce. 
If our particular teacher has not re¬ 
ceived the October leaflet this year, let 
us make it our business to help in get¬ 
ting one, and see that it is given a per¬ 
manent place in the school library. 
This leaflet contains lessons on “Mush¬ 
rooms and Other Fungi,” "The Newt. 
Eft. or Salamander,” “Thistles,” and 
“The Mosquito.” Subjects that we don't 
merely read about, but can go out and 
look at. handle and know intimately. 
The pity is that every one of these na¬ 
ture-study leaflets that has been pub¬ 
lished cannot be in every school, effi-1 
ciently used by every teacher. 
N. c. R. 
French Puffs.—Beat the whites of 
four eggs with a pint of rich milk until 
very light add a cupful of finely sifted 
flour and a smaller cupful of powdered 
sugar, with the grated peel of half a 
lemon, beating slowly all the time. Bake 
in buttered tins in a hot oven. Turn 
out, sift with powdered sugar over them, 
and serve with hot lemon sauce. 
Orange Shortcake.—To one quart of 
flour add one teaspoonful of salt, two 
teaspoons of baking powder (heaping), 
two tablespoons of butter and one pint 
of milk. Sift salt and baking powder to¬ 
gether with the flour. Rub in the butter, 
cold, add the milk. Mix all to a soft 
dough. Bake in two layers. In prepar¬ 
ing the oranges, six in number, remove 
all the white. Cut in small dice. Re¬ 
serve two of the oranges for the sauce. 
Butter the layers while hot, and gener¬ 
ously spread the bottom and top layer 
with the orange, sprinkling well with 
powered sugar. Serve with the follow¬ 
ing sauce: Beat to a stiff froth the 
whites of two eggs, stir in powdered 
sugar to make creamy, add the two or¬ 
anges previously prepared, a tablespoon¬ 
ful of melted butter and the grated rind 
of one orange; stir a'l well together. 
Nature makes the cures 
after all. 
Now and then she gets 
into a tight place and needs 
helping out. 
Things get started in the 
wrong direction. 
Something is needed to 
check disease and start the 
system in the right direction 
toward health. 
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod 
Liver Oil withhypophosphites 
can do just this. 
It strengthens the nerves, 
feeds famished tissues, and 
makes rich blood.
