THE RURAL, NEW-YORKER 
when my button Chrysanthemums come,- 
there is very little left but a stray Cal¬ 
endula or Coreopsis, and the native As¬ 
ters that are very pretty, but apt to en¬ 
croach on other ground. All through 
The Rural Patterns. 
When ordering patterns always give 
number of pattern and measurement de¬ 
sired. 
Simple house gowns are always liked. 
This one is tasteful and very generally 
becoming and it is perfectly simple. It 
can be treated just as illustrated or the 
yoke can be cut on a straight outline and 
the neck finished either with a round col¬ 
lar or cut out to form a square. The 
long sleeves can be gathered into nar¬ 
row pointed cuffs or made with deep 
plain cuffs, as preferred; and if neither 
is liked, plain elbow sleeves can be used. 
The wrapper is made with fronts and 
back which are joined to the yoke. The 
closing is made at the front. In what¬ 
ever style the sleeves are made they 
are cut in one piece each. For the 
medium size will be required 9J4 yards 
of material 27 or 7 l / 2 yards either 36 
or 44 inches wide, with 6 yards of band-

the later season the perennial sunflowers 
bloom cheerfully; no other plant being 
sp accommodating as to soil and posi¬ 
tion,, for they grow anywhere and are 
not injured by frost. 
Many valuable perennials are not here 
mentioned, but readers can always select 
from descriptive catalogues, whatever 
suits their fancy, and they generally 
prove comfortable plants, that require 
but little attention. Those inclined to 
lop over should be tied to stakes, and 
if withered flowers are kept cut off be¬ 
fore going to seed, the plant will retain 
strength and often send out an after- 
math of bloom. Pulling weeds and 
keeping the ground loose is not diffi¬ 
cult around such large plants, when 
once established, and wood ashes applied 
to the border in late Autumn, with a 
coating of strawy manure on top will be 
of benefit, so plant perennials; they will 
reward the busy lover, and seldom cause 
disappointment. annie l. jack.

We find our most soothing companion¬ 
ship in trees among which we have lived, 
some of which we ourselves may have 
planted. We lean against them and they 
never betray our trust; they shield us 
trom the sun and from the rain; their 
Spring welcome is a new birth which 
never loses its freshness, they lay their 
beautiful robes at our feet in Autumn; 
in Winter they stand and wait, emblems 
of patience and of truth, for they hide 
nothing,. not even the little leaf-buds 
which hint to us of hope, the last element 
in their triple symbolism.—Dr. O. W. 
Holmes. 
Anxiety is the poison of human life. 
It is the parent of many sins, and of 
more miseries. In a world where every¬ 
thing is doubtful, where you may be dis¬ 
appointed, and be blessed in disappoint- 
men t—what means this restless stir and 
commotion of the mind? Can your so¬ 
licitude alter the cause or unravel the 
intricacy of human events? Can your 
curiosity pierce through the cloud which 
the Supreme Being hath made impen¬ 
etrable to the human eye? To provide 
against every important danger by the 
employment of the most promising means 
is the office of wisdom, but at this point 
wisdom stops.—Blair. 
OF 
CHILDREN 
depends upon proper nourish¬ 
ment—a balanced ration. The 
most frequent lack is bone-form¬ 
ing material, causing soft, weak, 
diseased, crooked bones. 
Scott’s Emulsion 
supplies every element needed. 
It’s a balanced ration for bone as 
well as flesh. Every child should 
have a small dose daily. 
ALL DRUGGISTS 
“Why, It Looks Like 
A New Room” 
That’s what everybody says when 
you decorate your home with Mur- 
esco. 
Its soft and delicate tints turn a 
room with dingy walls and ceilings 
into a place of charm and beauty. 
Muresco is an artistic wall finish 
that can be applied direct over 
smooth, hard plaster surfaces, or 
over metal or hardwood. It comes 
in many tints and shades, and it can 
be applied by anyone. 
7WRESCO 
For Walls and Ceilings 
Muresco is used in thousands of 
artistic homes. It gives a restful 
background for pictures and wall 
decorations. Decorative effects may 
be produced by stencils which we 
furnish. 
Ask your paint or hardware deal¬ 
er for Muresco, or write to us for 
suggestions and designs.
