How to Make a Good Bed.

Perhaps some housekeepers would
like to know how they can make an in
| expensive, and at the same time a good
and durable bed, or mattress and
| bolster. I have a bed that will with
good usage) last lifetime. It is mere
| " q tick, the same as for straw, or
| husks, with openings in the upper side
to insert the hand for stirring, and filed
with cut paper. Now, reader, do not
throw aside the paper with disgust. but,
if for nothing but curiosity, finish the
article, it will do you no harm possibly
you may be induced to make one. The
work of cutting the paper is not such a
long Job as you would think. Take any
kind of clean paper Except straw paper
and fol3 it, or roll, so that it can be cut
with enc clip Of the shears, and then
cut it you need not be particu ar as to
the width, although the narrower it is
cut the better. These clippings are
like little eurls or rings of paper, and
lie like feathers, and after using the bed
they will not grow fine and dusty, but
ere clean, and can be stirred as light as
when first used. I have heard people
who have slept on them say they were
the best beds they ever slept on" 1
prefer them to feathers or common mat
tresSeS hair mattresses are nlc6rs OF
course, but few of US farmers wives can
afford to buy them whereas the paper
bed we can have without cost, except
the work, and that the smallest child
you have who can use pair of shears,
will help you, and If not kept busy too
long at time, will think it but play.
The same material makes nice pillows
for lounges, chair cushions, cradle ticks,
etc. I have box to keep waste paper
in, which is out of the way, and at the
same time handler than the rag-bag
and when it is full, cut them up into
another box and put them into the tick.
use the same ticks that I have used
for straw wash them and sew up the
openings, so they are just large enough
for the hand to pass through readily;
three openings are suficient.-Cor. Gin

FROM GOETHE.
Lonely and sweet violet grew
The meadow weeds among.
One morn a rosy shepherd maid,
With careless heart and idle tread,
Came by,
Came by.
The meadow lands and sung.
I" All !" said the violet, "would were
Some stately garden flower!
Then 1 right gathered be, and pressed
One little hour to her sweet breast;
All, me!
All, me!
Only ole little hour :"
On came the rosy shepherd lass
With heart that wildly beat
And crushed the violet in the grass
1t only said, " How sweet!
How sweet :" it said with tainting moan,
q" If I must die, to die alone
For her,
For her
To die at her dear feet"

Turkey Making an Arsenal of Herself

People will soon want to know what
Turkey intends to do with so much eX-
plosive material, such quantities of
deadly missiles. such engines of de-
struction. But it is not in New York
alone that the ferOcious Mussulman is
arming himself. The other day the
viceroy of Egypt gave the Turkish sui
tan an iron. clad, and now his majesty
mother, the valide sultana, has kindly
told the grand vizier that she viii her
self pay the cost of thirty tield-pleces,
gun-carriages and all complete, for her
son. This present is in addition 10
twenty other pieces OF kIupp aruIIery'
which her highness a short time ago
good-naturedly gave Tor the troops
The sultan is also treating himself to
few o1ns. and the grand vizier has Just
sioned a contract with the local repre-
sentative of the Krupp foundry at Eisen
fo, 20O field-pieces for the Turkish army,
the cost of the order TO be betrayed out
of tie sultan's own priyy purse. The
valids sultana has made 1t condition
of her little order that the thirty cannon
shall be delivered within four months
time at the latest. If the design is to
use this warlike material somebody is
likely to get hurt if not, the imperial
treasury Is burdened to little purpose.

We would notsbegrudge II large sum Of
dollars if We had Il cut, or cartoon, of a
scene at the Battle House in Nashville the
morning after Judge Porter was nomina-
ted as Il candidate for Governor. 1t was
thus:
Col. John V. W., who lives in Columbia,
and who adds to his intellectually a vast
amount of joviality, was an attendant, AS
well as %ourself, upon the Convention. We
invited him to room with us after the nom
nation Of Porter, and he readily accepted,
for he knew we loved him, with ali his
faults. And the saloon proprietor at the
Battle House loved us both, for, he knew
us both, and so, next morning, said saloon
man, knowing the Colonel and ourselr so
well, most kindly sent the porter of the
hotel to our room, and with him sent two
eleg;mtly-iixcd-up ~eye.opcners, known in
saloon parlance as cocktails, and also two
glasses of ice-cOld water-beverages the
value of which Is well known to most of
our readers, and to all who have ever re-
taxed their austere qualities OF nature to a
digniiicd and cOpious extent. Upon the
cap of the black servant was emblazoned
in large brass letters, as is common, the
familiar word Porter. We were in one
bed, Col. Jno. V. w. in the other, for
there were two beds in our room. As socn
as the porter entered, up jumped the Cole
mel, and the following dialogue ensued:
Col. W.-Ah! Governor Porter, I'm
CLAN to see you sir-glad. l congratulate
you, sir, upon your recent elevation, and
am proud to see you are not ashamed to
bear your name in the front. We are all
for porter now, and all of us drink porter.
In fact, it is destined to be the drink ofthc
season. Why, sir, the sun, moon and stars
now revolve by the order Of Porter, and in
West Tennessee they tell me that without
porter the saloons would have to yield &C
once to the womens' crusade. Let me
again and again congratulate you, sir,
upon your prominence before the people
and the especial merit you exhibit in not
being ashamed to do honor to your friends
by bearing to them at 80 timely Il moment
such blessed gifts as | see you have now
before me.
(Just here we managed to choke the
prcdominance of our risibles, and sug-
gested as follows: y
OURsELF.-Why, Colonel, that is not
Governor Porter, he is simply the porter
o fthe hotel, and a negro.
Col. Wit matters not, sir. and expla-
nations are not in order. My eyes do not
deceive me. see plainly the subject mat
ter upon which | am talking staring me
in the face, and | would do honor to the
man who, despite his late elevation, does
not forget, in his hour o prosperity, his
friends in adversely.
OuRsELF.-But, Colonel, he is a negro
your eyes deceive you as to color.
Col. Wit matters but little, sir. There
is no distinction in this country now as to
color. This man is Porter, and the Civil
Rights Bill has not made me oblivious to
the fact that Honor and fame from nc
condition rise" and | want to act well my
part, there all the honor les

was brought in so well, and there was such
carnestl.ess in this farce that really We
would not b~egrudge a sum OF dollars if oul
readers could have witnessed it.
