KNITTING RUGS AND HOSE.

September number with a good deal of
sympathy, for | have been an invalid for
years and know by experience about the
long weary hours. [ have never done
any worsted work or crocheting, but l
have been making yarn rugs. l learned
how to knit Persian rugs from "Annie
Frost's Guide to Needlework and En-
broidery." She says use the Rawlings
of tapestry Brussels. AS had neither
Rawlings nor money to buy, gathered
up the bits of yarn, raveled some old
stockings. bought one pound of peerless
carpet warp, took two coarse knitting
needles, put on twenty stitches, knit
across and back, then slip one stitch,
knit one, put the yarn over the needle,
knit the next stitch, put the yarn over,
and repeat until the last two stitches,
which knit plain; now turn, knit back,
slip one stitch, knit one, take the third
stitch and yarn together, knit as one
stitch ; knit in this way, taking the yarn
and cotton together to the end of the
row knit across and back with the
cotton. then put in the yarn again. Mix
the dark and light together well, the
more variegated the eolors the better the
effect. Five strips one yard long, make
a good sized rug. Fifteen stitches are
sufficient for the border The leading
color in the border should match the
predominating color in the room. had
my pieces of yarn one and half inches

A PRETTY WINDOW TRANS
PARENCY.

To make pretty window transpar-
ency, one novel and inexpensive, follow
these directions: Take small, round,
thin wooden plate and scrape the center
with penknife, so that, on holding it
up to the light, it seems almost trans
parent. Then dash half across the inner
part of the plate coating of blue paint
and in the center draw ship with sails,
outspread, which must be colored brown.
When held up to the light, it has the
appearance of ship on the ocean seen
in the twilight, for the light shining
through the center, which has been
scraped, looks like the glimmer in the
sky from departed sun, and brings into
relief the vessels form. A hole is bored
on the edge above and blue ribbon in
serted, by which the plate may be sus-
pended over window, or elsewhere, as
may seem convenient. Sometimes these
little plates are used as menu cards,
having the names of guests inscribed on
the upper portion. They are taken away
and suspended afterwards as mementoes
of the occasion.

SPIRITUAL DEsPoNDENCY.-Active de-
votion to Christ's service is cure for
spiritual dependency. The faith-faculty
gets numb by long inaction, just as a
limb becomes numb and useless if it is
not exercised. The Horsepower grows
cold if it is not kept fired up. When
faith and love both run low, the soul
easily falls into an ague fit. What you
need is to get out of yourself into SYM
pathy with. and downright efforts for,
the good of others. When responding
Christian came to old DR.. Alexander for
relief the doctor urged him to prayer.
II do pray continually" "What do
you pray for ?" The young student said.
Il pray that the Lord would lift upon
me the light of his countenance."
"Then," replied the sagacious veteran,
ego now and pray that he will use you
for the conversion of souls" This was
on the principle that man who is in
danger of freezing will keep himself
warm by pulling others out of the snow
Jealous workers for Christ seldom drift
into the region of fogs. They are too
busy to nurse doubts, and the exercise
of their graces keeps them in a glow

MANTELS AND THEIR AR
RANGEM EMIT.


New fashions in mantelpiece decora-
tons are springing up every day. Those
who can afford to 60 to an artistic up
holsterer for their chimney-piece adorn-
ments, in the shape of "over mantels,"
may be we'll nigh bewildered by the fas-
cinating combinations of velvet and
carved wood (the latter either ebonized
or stained and polished deep. lustrous
olive, or painted delicate cream, or green
or pink, or left to its own tone of BROWN,
with decorated and painted panels and
tiles, and stamped and gilt leather. All,
however, have not purses long enough to
allow them to indulge in such charming
extravagances, and 1t is to these the fol-
lowing suggestions are made: If you
have wood "over the mantel." it should
match the woodwork of the room. A
triple shelf of velvet, with supports and
background of the same material, is
very pretty and not an expensive decora-
ton over a drawing room or boudoir
mantelpiece. The upper shelf should
be narrower than the lower, and they
may be decked with any lace or Persian,
japanese or Indian embroidery. The
velvet should harmonic with the pre-
dominant tint of the room, but must not
be of too light or bright shade-deep
olive, claret or dark peacock, are the
most effective. 1t should be remembered
that the purpose of these shelves is to
hold ornaments, and that they require a
most alarming amount of bric-a-brac, SO
if you have not enough china to fill them
we'll, it will be better for you to escheW
them altogether, and turu your decora
tive mind in another direction. Another
pretty idea, especially suitable to bou
doir, is a continuation of the mantle
board in the form of velvet screen O
any shape you like against the wal
above; this not only makes good back
ground for the ornaments on the mantel
piece, but is in itself fine field TO
decoration, as odds and ends of all kind
look well on it. 1t is a good plan t.
have in the center of the screen small
painting or Dresden or Venetian mir
ror. This forms center. and around
you may hang all manner of things
Indian jewelry, photographs, Japanes
screens, quaint fans, china plates an
plaques, old foreign beads, carved ivol
les, old daggers :. in fact, all the thou'
and and one knicknacks woman's sor
, delights in. These will all look we'll
properly arranged, so that certain ha
, mony shall obtain among the heterogeI
ious collections, and each article sha

LEANING ON CHRIsT.-A dear old
Christian once said to me, IL want to
notice that word leaning on the arm of
the Beloved. You give your arm to
lady to take her into the drawing-room,
and she just touches your arm. But
you 60 a long walk into the country with
your wife Il; she is weary, and you offer
her your arm. and she puts in her hand
and presses on you with all her weight.
Now, Sir" he said, "that seems to me
just the difference between the Journalist
and the real Christian. The Journalist
touches the arm of Jesus, he does not
lean with all his weight; but the real
Christian feels his own weakness and
his own WEAKNESS, and so as he goes
through the wilderness he leans on the
arm of his Beloved, bearing all his
weight upon that beloved arm, and find
ing power and strength, and the more
he feels his own weakness, and at the
same time the more he feels his strength
in him. - Words of Life.

GoD IS LovE.-God is life. God is
blessed in himself. This mystery is re-
vealed unto US because Scripture teaches
US that God is Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost. Therefore is Jesus called the
only begotten of the Father. who was in
the bosom of the Father, before the
foundation of the world. But some one
asks me-'.Is not all this very deep
theology? What use is that to me 2"
My dear friend, l would not part with
this for all the treasures of the world.
Jesus wishes you to know the love where
with the Father loved him from all eter-
nifty, and for the simple reason that it
is this very love which he now bestows
upon you. If we did not know the In
finite love of the Father to the Son we
could never know Gods infinite love-
