Now that the plain white manteI is
out of fashion, device for covering it,
which will produce the popular effect,
may be acceptable to many. The sup.
position Is that the mantel shelf is snp-
piled with lambrequin, and we desire
10 cover the bare whiteness of the man
tel front. Of the lambrequin material
make two curtains just reaching to the
floor and meeting in the center directly
over the fire front, The curtains are
suspended by small rings on q slender
brass rod placed under the mantel
shelf. They should be sparingly deco
rated with embroidery or whatever class
of ornamentation is put upon the lam
brequin.
Another means of Transforming n
white mantel is by the use of paint.
Where it is found necessary to do over
the woodwork of a room, have it done
in the fashionable cherry or mahogany
color, painting the mantel in the same.
Have the usual black fire front done to
initiate copper and gold, and the eff
feet is new, novel and pleasing. - Gin.

How Sugar Cane Grows.

Sugar cane grows during about five
and half months. 1t makes its APP
pearance say on the LIST of April, and by
the 18th of September it has done reach
ing upward. In that time it grows or
ought to grow twelve feet, counting the
white joints and the top flag or tuft. On
the lst of July it is some four feet high,
SO that from then until the 18th of Sep
TENDER it grows ninety-six inches. During
August, however, it reaches the largest
rate of increase, the ordinary growth
during that month under favorable con-
ditions being forty inches, August is
known as the growing month" 1t is
then that cultivation is over and the
groupd thoroughly shaded by the foil
age. 1t is then that the daily showers
stimulate the process of vegetation until
one can almost literally "see it, shoot
upward. 1t is on clear, still nights
during this month that you can hear
that light cracking sound all over a
healthy field of cane. It is the month
when, instead Of growing three-fourths
of an inch per day, good cane ought to
grow one inch and q half.--M. q.

The School Master Married McCorkle's
Sister.

Knew Dick McCorkie! well, I swar!
The ornary little Thug! An he's got
ranch on the Pecos, you say, an pop
lar among the cowboys. Great Gosh!
Iknowd him when he was aflop-mouthed
boy. He was a terror, tell you. We
was at school together, me an him.
Poplar thenp Well, no, not enough to
Spite him. Why, we boys just despised
him. We lister git up in the night to-
hate him. You see it war this waY:
The school master wanted to marry his
sister-Dick's sister. Dick was q
freckied-faced and codfish-eyed plug.
an he never know'd his lessons, but he
wasn't licked an thumped, nor iammed
up against the wall, nor batted on the
head with frame of an old slate. The
schoolmaster wanted to marry his sis
ter.
'.He was let sit with the big girls, an
go out as often as he wanted TO. The
little spike-haired cur could come late
and eat nuts and champ apples in
school hours without one word of re-
proof. an when he spilled ink on the
floor he didn't git a belt on the ear
with a Mc(iuffey's third reader. Oh,
no. The schoolmaster wanted to marry
his sister.
"How we hated that young hoodlum!
We tried to lower him in the masters
estimation by putting up jobs on him.
We were guilty of dead loads of vii
lainy and Injustice in our attempts TO
make the teacher turn on him. but it
was always cold day for as, and we
never succeeded, for the school master
wanted to marry his sister.
ave couldn't see why the school
master should take revenge on our
tender hides, and why we should wear
welts and scars while the ignorant nom
descript, McCorkle, would put on airs
over us, an would wander singing
down the lane with all his imperfections
on his red head, an bring back to the
master the tough saplings that were
worn out ON the jackets Of the rest of
us. He never got whack. The
schoolmaster wanted to marry his sister.
II left the school to help in camp on
a cattle roundup, an it was about
three months before | came back. Tho
| first thing saw when / got back to school
was the master whalin' daylights outen
! McCorkle with the cover of an atlas.
When he had used them up and broke
the ruler. he spit on his hands, caught
Dick by the ears, and pounded his head
against the map of Asia. Then he
pulled two handfuls of hair out of his
head, and sent hun to sit down by the
window with the broken pain where the
| snow was coming in.
~ could hardly believe my eyes. I
asked one of the boys what was the
meaning of this, an if it wasn't soma
mistake.
"'No, no. says he this is regular
every day. The master whales Corkey
eight or ten times day now, an yes.
terday he hit him with the English Ian
guage (unabridged) on the head until
the jar loosened the tillin' in his teeth.

worked rapidly down to the point oppo-

my hands steady while we watched.
But we had not long to wait. Five
minutes after the beat began, we saw
the tigers face peering cautiously out
of the bushes at the end of the thicket
opposite It's. He saw the men in the
trees, and felt that he could safely pass
between them. He walked out of cover,
and skulking low amongst the stunted
bushes, at swift trot made straight for
where we were standing. He got over
the ground very rapidly, glancing sus.
piciously right and left, mouth a trife

sible gave him the second barrel, and

and then you should have seen the cx-
element and JOY, as the whole gang
came running up, and gathered around.
/ never saw men so nearly tickled to
death as those fellows were. They
crowded around that dead tiger, and
abused him frightfuiiy in the most ab-
surd ways, putting dirt in his mouth,
beating him with their sticks. and call
ing him 10y all the bad names they could
think of.
after they had relieved their feel
ings in such ways, they made litter Of
poles, put the carcass upon it, and
started for Doraypore, 1t was tri-
dmphal march. The people flocked on,
of the villages we passed to see the dead
man-eater, and TO praise the sahib for
his grand skill, and above all TO MAKE
sure the tiger they had so long lived in
perpetual fear of, was really dead.
They said that was their father, theiI
mother, lord of the earth, and don't
know what all else.

Specializing Women.

A Wall Street broker remarked tho
other day: women are the most reck.
less gamblers in the world. never vel
knew one to come out ahead specializing
in Wall street, for they never know
when to let go. As spectators, how.
ever, they have ten times the nerve OF
men and they stand their losses with ex.
iraordinary fOriiiude. a striking in
stance of the hold which gambling gains
on any one occurred the other day. A
woman came into my Office about one
O'Clock in the afternoon and asked to see
me on a matter of importance. ! went
out TO her and found she had Travelled
all the way down from Springfield,
Mass, for the purpose of investing some
money. She took a bank book out Of
her bosom and showed me that she had
deposit Of four thousand dollars.
While ! was talking to her il occurred
TO me several times that her face was
familiar, but found that it was impos-
siblc to place her. Finally asked her
aud she seemed greatly surprised that
had forgotten. She recalled the fact
that she came TO my Office nearly twelve
years ago with two thousand dollars
and began to speculate. She had made
ten thousand dollars within two weeks
and then suddenly got caught in a
hurry and was completely wiped
out. She lost every cent that she
had. She went back to Springfield and
here she is again ready to blow in the
rest of her savings. During all these
twelve years she saved the money care
fully, and every day she has read the
stock reports in the newspapers. She
has followed the market carefully and
her ideas are sound enough on stocks,
but there is no chance of her winning.
Fonr thousand dollars won't 90 far
when you speculate with it in big
Jumps, and the least little turn of the
market is likely to send her back to
Springfield penniless. This case re-
minds we of another one had about a
year ago. | was going out of the office
about four o'clock in the afternoon on
my way home, when | became aware
that there was a woman sitting in ono
of the Office chairs staring blankly out of
the window. | remembered that she
had been there for two or three hours,
and made some inquiries. found that
she was a boarding house keeper up
town, and very estimable and deserY-
| ing woman. She had by hard work suc-
ceeding in saving one thousand six hum
dred dollars and had listened to the per-
suasons of one of her boarders, young
stock clerk, and had come down to my
Office and speculated. The money that
she had been years scraping together
was lost in day. J almost made up my
mind never to operate for n woman
again. But what's the use? If don't
do it some one else will, and the com
mish' goes as well with me as any one.
AT least think so. Brooklyn Eagle.
