An English Sunday Morning in Summer.

After a hundred years, if the Seven
Sleepers awake on an English Sunday
morning, they would certainly at once
know what day il was There is moth
ing else like it for the feeling of intense
repose. No other stiffness can compare
with the deep calm of Sunday morn
ing such rs this. No leaf stirs; there is
no cloud moving about in the hot hazy
blue; the clatter of the iron road has
ceased; the very birds are still. Swal-
lows alone are ever on the wing, and
the silence is so profound that the beat
OF their wings can be heard rs they dart
by in rapid course. The busy cornfields
lie empty in n golden rest. Only here
and there, where the harvest is not vet
gathered in, the sheaves, like prayine
hands, stand together on the field. In
the green pastures the grazing cattle
seem to tread with hushed and silent
step. And there is sound of church
bells on the air, coming clear yet faint
across the level country. The Interior.

The Wood River Ndaho) Times thus
describes the speed of fire inthat sec
ton: The entire country for forty or
fifty miles each side of Shoshone seems
to be in flames, and the fire appears to
be gaining in all directions. The
rapidily with which it spreads under n
high wind is wonderful About noon
there was but mere breeze. with n
squirt or two. Yet the fire travelled
faster thaua horse could run, and i'm
less than one hour had covered twenty
five or thirty miles. The flames would
rise in the air about thirty feet, break
in big blocks, sail along with the wind,
and land about lOOto 800 feet ahead.
Its speed is not surprising with such
gigantic leaps.

only OF late made familiar to us by
means OF exhibitions and the like, have
on account OF their novelty and pcculi-
arity mn especial attraction for the
spectator. For instance. the Japanese
applique embroidery shows the highest
completion, and now that il has become
marketable, its sphere of use for
various purposes is considerably en-,
larged. Used with other embroidery
or paintings this applique is excellent
lor decoraiuo purposes, such as
ornameniing fire and wall screens
cushions, borders. Wonderful flow

from charming combination. The
separate pieces of embroidery are work
ed over car hoard and secured ON
squares. We select one Of the smaller
ones, with all sorts OF animals on il for
our illustration. A piece OF silk laid
over 1t and an original cover of stuff
like paper. the well-known stvle of
which with its japanese colors is quite
a study prtects the embroidery from
the air and dust. These squares NAV
now be purchased in large shops.
IL has now become SO general TO have
table linen with colorcd border. that
especially for company, one can scarce
ly imagine handsomely arranged table
without this agreeable ornament. AL
though the interviewer red and blue
borders suffice for daily use. we see for
grand occasions table-cloths and nan
klns adorned with the most artistic nee
dlework, which, since all possible tones
have been produce i'm fast-colored cot

plain white linen from the grandmotb-

wife likes TO have the ornamental border
on the tea and cOiee-cloth and napkins

The embroidery is done with fast
c0lOred blue cotton, i'm tam bOur stitch.
The cloth has hem-stitched border
about one and onc-half inches broad.
this is followed by narrow row of
