HOUSEHOLD ITEMS.

Slender chains are now employed
to loop back window draperies.
The present drawing furniture
shows very little wood work, chairs
and lounges being entirely covered
with upholstery.
Tides are to be superseded by
small squares of lace or muslin, or
even darker material, securely fasten-
ed into the back of the chair.
The most stylish carpets and those
for which there is the greatest demand
are in dark shades and have small
figures, and the more intricate the
design the better.
For useful home rug, purchase
sheepskin and wash it thoroughly in
boiling suds, and when dry comb
carefully, and an excellent rug is
made for the foot of the stairs, the
fireplace, etc.
A pretty lambrequin is made of
bed-ticking. The white stripe is
worked with different colors of bright
.worsted in cross stitch. 1t is cut in
large scallops across the bottom, and
a fringe of worsted added.
Excellent scrap-baskets are now
made of Japenese umbrellas. Rows
of chenille are Topped from spoke to
spoke, and the point of the opened
umbrella fixed in a stand The adj
.dition of bright bow and ends of
satin ribbon makes pretty finish.
A pretty receptacle for thread,
thimble. buttons, etc., can be made
in the form of an easy chair, about
ten OF twelve inches high; cut the
parts from new paste-board box;
sew or glue together; cover the arms,
back and seat with dark cloth and
stuff with cotton.
Wood baskets are decorated in
many fanciful ways, the most popular
being by hangings upon the one side
Of deep garnet, or crimson sateen,
with fringe of the same color, and a
motto worked in Kensington stitch,
'Heap on more wood, the wind is
chill" while on the other side a col
lection of fir cones serves as ornament.
Bureau covers are now made in
crash, design of leaves and flowers
being generally worked in linen floss.
They can be washed, and on this ac-
count have much to recommend them.
The work is usually solid, and they
are finished off by an insertion of
drawn work and fringe. This makes
a pretty and inexpensive holiday gift.
For a room which has a prevailing
tone of gray, a mantel lambrequin of
cardinal velveteen is handsome this
may be frightened with pink flowers,
put on with silk embroidery, or with
a delicate scroll worked in yellow
silk, or in the favorite chenille en-
broidery, which is very snowy. Vel
veteen of good quality does not cost
as much as plush or velvet, and, fol
use like this is perfectly satisfactory.
Toy ornaments please the children
and the homemade ones last much
longer than those obtained at the
stores. For a horse, elephant and
camel, use any plain dark cloth, and
for rabbit, cat, dog, pig or sheep,
use canton flannel, the fleecy or nap
side out. Sew the parts together
stuff with bran or cotton, use beads
for eyes, small piece of fringe fol
the tail, also for the name of the
horse red twist for the mouth anC
waXed thread for the whiskers of the
cat. If you chance to have pail
of worn out kid gloves, use them tt
cover the elephants tusks.

THE RACCOON.

II see by the sparkle in your eye
that you have something to tell us
this morning." said Aunt Belle, as
Oracle seated herself.
"My mamma says" answered
Oracle, ''that my Uncle Paul had a
tame raccoon, and it followed him to
the store one day and went behind
the counter and ate up the eggs; and
once when a farmer brought Uncle
some chickens, the raccoon got into
his wagon and began to eat them
while the farmer was in the house.
II should say it was mischiev-
Gus villain said Philip. "What
kind of an animal is it,"
'sIt is as mischievous and cunning
as monkey" said Aunt Belle, ''and
about twice as large as cat. Its
color, with the exception of its nose,
which is black, is a blackish gray.
1t has circle of yellowish white
hair around its eyes and on the sides
of its nose. It's tail has six black
| rings around it. Its head is not
round like that of the lion and cat,
but is almost pointed, like sugar
| loaf or a cone. Its nose, too, is so
pointed and flexible that it can east
| ly be turned into crevices and cor
ners where it finds worms and spi-
ders, besides ants and insects of all
kinds, which it eats. 1t is not con-
tented with all these, but goes around
hunting for birds nests and robs
them of eggs and young birds. 1t is
not afraid to 90 into hen-coops for
eggs and chickens or into corn fields
to break down the nice green corn
and eat it for it's sweet white milk.
1t is hungry creature, willing to
eat almost anything coming in It's
way. 1t has been known to 90
down by the seaside and dig oysters
and eat them for its supper.
Oracle held up her hand, for she
had something more to tell SO Aunt
Belle nodded, which meant yes, and
she commenced: "One day Uncle
Paul went with my papa to the beach,
and the raccoon followed. After
dinner Aunt went to find it to give it
some dinner, but it was gone. Then
papa remembered that it did not come
home with them, so he went back to
the beach, and found the raccoon cry

ssWhy not?" asked Walter. AS
Oracle couldn't tell, Aunt Belle said /;
Il think it probable that it was held
fast by little oyster, for sometimes
the greedy fellows get into a trap of
this kind. when they are digging. If
an oyster that is embedded in the
ground shuts its shell very tightly,
the raccoon cannot get away, and
when the tide comes in, then the poor
creature is drowned
: "Good enough for it! / hate the

A little fve-year-old damsel, who
can ask more questions in a minute
than all the family can answer in an
hour, has to be often reminded not
to ask questions unless it is some
thing she wants to know. The 9TH
er morning this piece of mischief
walked her auntie out of a sound
sleep, "Now auntie, here's question
that | ask because | really want to
know" ''Well, my dear?' "Auntie,
when Eve was little baby, who
made her clothes for her?'
When man receives a favor he ought
never to forget it; when you do one you
ought not to remember it.

How TO READ.-Some one has
given some good rules that will do
no harm to be read very often. Con-
centrate your thoughts. Close the
book and write out all you can re-
member, after you have read five pa
ges. Dismiss all subjects but the
one in hand. Do not read aloud if
you desire to get much of the article
for yourself. If your memory is
treacherous, read but little and that
carefully. Read no novels, and
nothing lightly.

appetite. There are but few things
that it does not eat. A writer says:
Zone of these animals ate piece of
cedar pencil which it snatched from
my hand, and tried very hard to eat
the envelope of letter on which /
was making notes. Not succeeding
in the attempt, it consoled itself by
tearing the paper into minute NOR
sells, using teeth and paws in the at
tempt. 1t did its best to get a ring
off my finger by hitching one of its
crooked claws into the ring, and pull
ing with all its strength, which was
considerable for an animal of its size.
Its brown eyes lighted up with ami
nation when engaged in play, and it
was very fond of pushing its paw
through the bars of its cage in order
to attract attention
"Many years ago the raccoon was
so troublesome to the farmers of
Vermont and New Hampshire that
they used to go coon hunting, which
was an exciting sport to the men and
large boys. The dogs which they
took along with them seemed to like
the sport, and when once on the trail
would chase the raccoon until it took
refuge in a tree. The boys then
made blazing fire under it, which
served to blind the raccoon and dis
cover its hiding-place. A good
climber would then ascend the tree,
and take the frightened animal away.
Sometimes the hunter would strike
its feet with long club and knock it
from the tree, but instead of falling
to the ground, it would catch hold of
limb with it's tail and hang by it,
