A Mending-Bag
Cottage Hearth,


Keep the mending down, if possible, by doing
it every week, and then it will not be so much of
burden, and will be none too large to be con-
tanned in one of those pretty stocking bags
which will make a pretty ornament to your
room. They can be made of all materials, from
blue satin to dark chintz, but something bright
ana servieeable, like red or blue silesia or neat
eretonne, is the best choice, and perhaps the
making of one may be accomplished from the
following directions: Take yard Of blue silesia,
two yards of blue satin ribbon inch wide, a
small piece of white flannel, sDme stiff paste
board and a spool of blue silk. OF the
pasteboard cut four circular pieces, each
one measuring seven inches across;
Cover these four pieces smoothly with
blue silesia and overland the edges of the two
together with blue silk, the remaining two to be
done in the same way for the opposite side. The
puff should be straight piece measuring sixty
inches long and twelve inches wide. This is to
be gathered each side to fit round the edge of the
circular pieces leaving a space at the top of the
circle, three inches, for the opening The puff
is now to be .sewed all round the edges of each
circular piece, except the place left for the open
ing, thus forming the bag Make for the out
side of one of the circles piece of the same size
and shape, and embroider or applique some lit
tie design upon it. Then cnt from the flannel
several leaves the same shape, but smaller,
buttonhole stitch or pink the edges
bag, as the leaves in any needle book are fast
ened: then sew the embroidered cover outside of
this at the top Where it isfastened place a bow
of ribbon. This is for holding the darning nee
dies On the circle, the opposite side, piece of
silesia is gathered on top and bottom, to cover a
little more than half the circle, for pocket. In
the casing at the top run an elastic, and in this
pocket is kept the yarn for darning. The satin
ribbon is used to draw the puff together at the
top, and the interior is the receptacle for the
stockings. "A bag made of olive silesia with
blue ribbon, or red silesia with red ribbon
would be serviceable to hang up for constant
use or for a gift one might be made of SATIN
with flowers painted or embroidered on the me
dalton, or a monogram worked in gay silks.

Indications that the Gladstone Government
Is in the Verge of Dissolution.


Is in the Verge of Dissolution.
LONDON, Nov 3.-The Gladstone government
seems going to pieces. Nobody can give the
exact reason for this universal conviction, but
everybody declares he feels it in the air Things
certainly are going wrong all around. The
vague rumors of impending disaster in
Egypt have passed from the bazaars to
the clubs of London, and, although Khar-
toum may not have fallen already, not
one man In a hundred believes Wolsely will
get there in time to save it. The fall of Khar-
toum just now would also be the fall of Glad
stone. In South Africa the avoidance Of war is
apparently no longer possible, and in the debate
in the House of Commons last Wednesday the
Ministry were denounced with as much vehe-
mence from their own as from the opposite side
The debate on the Maamtrasna murder case
while leaving Lord Spencer unhurt in English
opinion has spread the uneasy feeling that there
is something very rotten in Dublin Castle, and
the attack in reference to Myles Joyce had
scarcely passed away when the
relentless Parnellites threw in an even
bitterer assault in consequence of the
extraordinary revelations in letters published
during the trial of Detective Inspector French.
Finally the implied condemnation of Chamber
lain's violent language by the refusal of so many
ministeriallists to vote against Churchill's mo

majority of thirty six give the impression of the

The future of the franchise struggle, mean

Hints for the Sick Room,

Never stand at the foot of sick-bed and sur
vey the patient. All figures loom large to fe-
vereG eyes, and by the side of the bod are only
partly seen, and do not annoy with the sense of
too much presence. Do not open the door very
slowly, for then the attention is strained, specu
after all this preparation and cautious approach,
the door generally creaking. Low but clear
tones, quiet but sure movements-not on tip-toe
and rapid rather than slow, are a great rehee to
any patient who is blessed with practical
nurse. Whispering is torture. Silence is best
until you can discuss matters in another room;
but if you speak, speak out, and make no mys
teries about anything. In severe illness the
nurse must watch her patient steadily, but not
quently soothes the invalid to have the nurse
seated at the window apparently looking out.
This frees the faculties from the tension that the
sense of being watched usually gives, and also

Boston Budget.


Receptacles for clothes are necessarily among
the prominent pieces in bedroom furnishing, and
happily some of these may be Eome made. One
capital institution is the box ottoman. which,
according to size will hold dresses at full length,
or serve for hats OF bonnets This is particu-
larly easily manufactured comfort, and almost
any box will do for foundation. packing
case is very suitable First purchase "a pair of
hinges for the lid, and four eastors. When these
are duly screwed on, line the box neatly with
pink or gray glazed lining, fastening it securely
by lacks or glue to the bottom and outside of the
box. Next make cushion to fit the top, and
fasten this also securely at the four corners This
cushion may be made like pillow mattress.
Vow cut strip of the material, cretonne sheet
Ing, or whatever stuff is intended for covering
the depth of the box and long enough to go
round it, allowing for fullness. Hem the lower
edge neatly and gather the top into band the
exact size of the box this band is then nailed on,
or tied or buttoned. Then cut a piece sufficient
ly large to cover the cushion and lid, and to this
stitch frill either killed, gathered or box
plated and fasten the whole with fancy nails TO
the lid in such way that the killing falls over
and hides the band of the bex-valance. Add
cord or ribbon loop to the middle of the lid to
lift it by, and the ottoman is complete. If the
room is sufficiently large it is very nice to have
two of these ottomans, one long enough for dress
skirts, and a smaller one which will slip under
the dressing table, and hold hats, etc, serving
when needed as a seat for the dressing table.

Rye as a Grass Crop.
Cleveland Leader


Rye is the earliest grass crop that can be
grown. If seeded down in the fall it not only
gets good start if the season is favorable there
by affordiNg slight opportunity for grazing in
the fall to those who are not favored with past
ures, but it comes out luxuriantly in early
spring and affords green material when other
grasses are dormant 1t grows on the sandy
soils as weas those that are heavy, but thrives
best on a fertile light loan. 1t may not be
known that if rye be prevented from seeding it
may thus be converted into permanent pas
ture, but such is the fact If cattle or sheep are
turned upon it, and kept in the rye field until
the crop is grazed down, the effort of the rye to
reach the seed-bearing period will provide an
abundance of grass as long as it can be so con
trolled AS soon as rye goes TO seed its useful
ness for pasture is ended, and the field must be
seeded down again. 1t is not troublesome to
keep the growth at the proper point, and if this
is DONE there will be bountiful supply of-green
food for several years from one seeding Early
in spring it is advisable to pass the roller over
the field before the shoots out, in order to
counteract the effects of frost and stock should
not be turned in until the ground is somewhat
hard

rived here this morning at 1885, accompanied by
his friend, E. d. Tuthill, of the Tiff House, and
Mr.. TuthilI's nephew. The Governor declined
the use Of Mr. Tuths carriage and quietly
stroed to his usual breakfasting restaurant,
where. after partakng of hearty meal, he re-
paired to his rooms over his Office, and later, at
about 10 O'Clock was at his desk in his law Office
1t was expected the Governor would arrive
this afternoon and preparations had been made
to give him a reception. About IL
o'clock he left his Office and started lesurely up
to the Tiff House. He was att1red in a
handsome suit of black broadcloth, and appeared
IN the very hest health and in excellent spirits
He frequently stopped on the sidewalk to chat
Familiarity for a moment or two with some
friends An Associated Press reporter inter
viewed him. and in answer to questions as to his
health he said: Il am IN most excellent health,
and am more than pleased to be at my old home
again" He stated that most cheering
news came to him from almost every
quarter, and the prospects of the success Of the
Democratic ticket he considered first rate In
answer to what he thought about the State of
New York he declined to give an opinion and
referred the interviewer to Mr.. McCune, who,
he said, could better answer question than him
self. The Governor did not seem to be DESTROYS
of continuing the subject Of the, looming election.
He will probably remain here until Tuesday
noon He will vote at his old polling place in
the ninth ward probably early in the morning.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Times considers the
news reported from Cairo to the Paris Morning
News, to the effect that Khartoum has fallen
into the hands of the rebels, and that Gordon
was taken prisoner, as extremely doubtful.
This view, it thinks, is especially reasonable in
the absence of advices on the subject from Gen
ereral Wolseley The Times traces the report
to the Bosphore Egyptian, a dubious French or
gan, which may have given European version
of an Arab story which recently gained some
currency in Cairo

Telegram Company makes mention of the re

the Mahdi, at last accounts, was collecting his
forces around Khartoum, and had summoned
General Gordon to surrender. The troops ofthe
Mahdi had anticipated two messages dispatched
by the British to Khartoum. The same dispatch
declares that large force of rebels was at Ber-
Der, and that the rebels had possession of the
wells on the caravan route between Debbeh and
Khartoum- After the crops harvested the
Mahdis forces will be largely increased.

In the House of Lords this afternoon Lord
Granville Foreign Secretary, said the govern
ment had no reason to believe that the reported
fall of KhartSum and capture of General Gordon
was true.
The Marquis of Salisbury, the Conservative
leader, referring to the instructions given by the
government to General Gordon, said it appeared
to be the intention of the government to abandon
all Egyptian garrisons in the Soudan.
Lord Granville denied that the government
had any intention of abandoning Khartoum, but
he admitted it had no intention to prolong the
