An excellent Christmas gift for small child
ren is q picture scrap-book, which anybody
can make. Get yard each Of pink, blue drab,
red, green, and brown English cambric, or "
you prefer the leaves TO be white use Holland.
Fold into o5long pieces about twelve inches
long by eight inches wide, alternating tho
colors. You may crochet border around the
edges If you like, or paste on n narrow binding
Of ribbon, or merely "button-hole" them with
zephyr. Now for tho pictures. Secure old
Hdrper's Bdzddrs, Grophics, discarded primer,
pictorial alnanacs, magaznes-anything that
contains passable cuts Trim all the edges,
neatly arrange with taste, and paste on caro-
fully, and you will be surprised TO SEQ how
pretty the effect will bo on the bright back
ground. Don't make the paste too thick, pres
each leaf with o warm iron when done, and
leave IL under a weight for some days that 10
may not curl then sew the backs securely to-
gether and make cover of oil-cloth neatly
lined, bound, and fastened with ribbons. This
will please any child, and makes u durable a.
well as a cheap gift, two things to be con-
sidcrcd

If he be u travelling man." Make IL Of black

FAIR or VASES
decorated after the following manner arc very
| handsome: Purchase at the pottery or crock
cry store pair Of vases Of the desired shape
| and size, of the common ware paint them
black or any dark color; when dry arrange
upon them decalcomans or other pictures,
vines, flowers, medallions, mOnograms, flying
horses, or anything odd or antique. When
dry, varnish nicely. They are q very good
imitation of the antique styles considered 50
desirable.
ANOTHER STYLE
may be made of lead gas-pipe. Get pieces Of
pipe the length desircd-they will solder in .
bottom where you buy the, pipe-then orns-
ment with pictures TO suit the taste.
A handsome
CANE AND UMBRELLA STAND
can be made with trifing expense by pro-
curing q section Of earthon sewer-pipe and
standing 1t with the projecting joint at the
bottom. Paint the inside some delicate color
| that will harmonizo with tho illumination Of
| the hall, and the outside some bright color.
Paint u black band around the top and bottom.
When this is dry decorate the outside with
decalcomania designs. Then cover with ono
or two coats of white varnsh. Paint a small
tin basin both inside and out, and stand the
vase over it. These bear a close resemblance
to imported vases, and arc far more ornamen-
tai than this imperfect description would im-
ply.

Has often in the gutter laid,

Ever replies with laugh and sneer,

At home, his patient and loving wife
Is burning the midnight oil
With littls to cheer or bless her life
OF constant, daily toll
She adjuso a patch and darns sock.
While sighs her bosom rend
And says with q sob as she looks at tho clock

ILLINOIS EPlSCOPALIANS.

THE PROPOSED NEW DIOCESE DEFINED
TIE NECESSARY ACTION IN THE DIvt-
SION.
Quincy Wig: GAS there seems TO be
an erroneous impression as to the ac>
ton necessary in order to effect diyi-
sion OF the Episcopal diocese Of Illinois
so as to make Quincy See city, it de.
wolves upon the Wig to say that three
steps are necessary: First, the consent of
the diocese of Illinois; second, the con-
sent of the bishop, and third, ratification
by the general convention OF the church,
which meets in Boston the 81 of next
month. The first two steps have been
taken with only one dis.
senting voice. In dividing
The diocese into three dioceses,
as has been proposed, the Diocese of
Quincy will Include all the territory west
OF the Illinois river and as far north as
the south line of Whiteside and Lee cOun-
ties; the Springfield Diocese, all east OF
the Illinois river to the Indiana border
and below the south line Of Woodtord,
Livingston, Ford and lroquo's coun-
tics; and the Chicago Diocese, all the re-
| manning counties in the north part Of the
state.
If the ratification OF this proposition
by the General convention is secured.
the present Bishop Will call convention
at Quincy OF all the clergy and lay dele
gates in this proposed jurisdiction, who
will proceed to organize the new diocese
and to elect a Bishop. But the pres
ent Bishop has the right to choose to
come to Quincy, remain in Chicago, OF
60 to Springfield. Il he decides tC
remain in Chicago, the Diocese OF
Quincy will elect new Bishop; but any
mention of probable candidates for the
position before that decision is made,
would of course be premature.
A meeting of the clergy and iaity Of
the several parishes in the proposed
Diocese of Quincy is called tor tuesday,
September l5,..at Knoxville, for confer
ence on the subject of the new diocese
