A pretty and useful article to hang up by the

hooks for holding button hooks, glove button

things apt to lie missing in time of need. 1t is
simple and easily made. Choose piece OF
wood nine inches long by four and half inches
wide, and not more than quarter OF an inch
thick. Cover 1t with bright cretonne, flannel,
satin or velvet, draw smoothly over the face OF
the board and tack to the back along the edges
with the smallest kind of shade tacks. Paste
piece OF thick brown paper on the back, large
enough to cover the raw edges Of the material
used. but not quite:as large as the panel itself.
! This will give neat finish to the whole. Have
a half dozen brass hooks ready, and screw
them into the wood about an inch apart, first

Aprons.

Very pretty aprons are made of square OF
linen scrim, lem of about twoinches in width
and above that alternate places where the
threads are drawn out about fourth of an
inch and left plain for the same distance. Into
the open spaces the narrowest ribbon is run in
and out OF every three or four threads. The
ribbons are Of contrasting colors and the Dor
der thus formed is unique. One apron made
in this way has rainbow colors in the border.
Another way is to hem the scrim both ends !;
in one hem run pink satin ribbon to full it on
and to serve for strings. Hemstitch the other
hem and embroider a spray Of pink flowers on
enc side. Turn the other corner over on the
right side of the material and fasten with q
bow CT pink and dark green ribbons. These
have a very dashy little look and are especial
" pretty for young ladies'. A very good apron
for maid is clofhcs-pin apron made Of two
pieces OF licking the same size; these are fas-
iencd together in a band for the waist, the low
or corners are rounded: in the upper piece OF
ticking make two round holes large enough TO

the edge. This is convenient for banging out
or taking in clothes, and the pins can be kept

Culinary Notes.

Roll coffee in a salt sack !; it is nicer than egg
to settle it.
Tomatoe, are nice with cream and sugar.
Put soda in sour fruit fer pies aud they will
require less sugar.
After pairing fruit drop it in cold water to pre-
vent it changing color.
A little Sulphate Of potasse added to pre-
serves prevents fermentation.
Glaze the bottom crust of fruit pies with
white Of egg and they will not be soggy.
Always put little soda in milk that is to be
boiled, as an acid is formed by boiling.
Do not boil vinegar for pickles. Boil the
vegetables in salt and water, drain and pour
the vinegar on.
Seal the Juice left from canning fruits in
small bottles and keep for making fruit pud-
ding sauces.

More About the First Lady.
From the Philadelphia Times.

Miss Cleveland has settled in common-sense
practical way the much discussed question Oh
who is the frs, lady in the land. Several days
ago the necessity for some house-cleaning su-
pervision having arisen, she routed her social
opponents by tying towel around her head and
in unpretsntious dress personally directed the
corps OF servants as to the manner in which the
work had to be done. 1t may be assumed that
there will be some outcry by those who at
tempt to sway polite society against any such
homely argument as this, but it IS equally
probable that the masses of the people Will up
hold Miss Cleveland for her una,suming con-
Duct. The leading lady in the land ought to be
able To Lead in the matter OF overseeing house
work as well as in the more fashionable but less
useful occupations Of dancing german or DIS
seminating the latest society gossip. Someho"
there is a streak OF homely common sense run :
ming through the Cleveland family that stamps
them as being very American in their IDEAS

IT is unpleasant to read that the Cheyenne
Indians are threatening al outbreak, ana Inat
the government is concentrating troops at FORT
Reno, Indian territory. to susdue them IN me
event of hostilities. 1t is nine years since the
last trouble with this band. The Cheyennes
live in an open country, are well mounted ana
have plenty OF arms and ammunition, SO that
war with them will prove to be serious anAir.
Whs, the cause of their complaint now Is no
one in the army circles pretends 70 know. We
hope it will be something different from that
which provoked the last outbreak among them.
Then the whites were wholly to blame. A
number Of men disguised as Indians had burn
ed bridge on the Kansas Pacific railroad ioi
the purpose OF stopping train that they might
plunder it. After the destruction OF the orio8s
soldiers were sent to capture the men lmpiics-
ted. An officer CHANGED one day to see an H.
diaa standing alone at distance. he drew
nearer, fred and killed him. The Indian was
the son of Lone Wolf, the great Cheyenne cn OIL
When he was buried 400 ponies were killed
above his grave. Though Lono Wolf himself
did not participate in the outbreak which Iol-
lowed his sons death, it was thought that the
shooting OF the young Indian greatly ini1uen-
ced the tribe to go on tie warpath. TOO many
o, our Indian wars have had their origin IN
similar causes.

To Make a Happy Home.

l. Learn to govern yourselves, and to be
gentle and patient.
2. Guard your tempers, especially in seasons
of i'll health irritation and trouble, and soften
them by prayers and sense of your own short
comings and errors.
g. Never speak or act in anger until you
have prayed over your words or acts, and con-
clude that Christ wsuld have done SO in your
place. %.
4. Remember that, valuable as is the gift OF
speech, silence is often much more valuable,
5. Do not expect too much from others. but
remember that all have an evil nature, whose
development we must expect, and which we
should terbear and forgive, as we often desire
| forbearancc ourselves.
6. Never retort sharp or angry word. II
| is the second word that makes the quarrel.

A GRoTEsQUE SCENE.-Everybody is in
a broad grin over the dramatic reconcilia-
ton of the Virginia Senator, and it is
pity that the Campaign is not in existence
to give us a cartoon of the amusing scene.
1t is altogether unparalleled, and furnishes
as good farce as was ever presented in
the Dime Museum. Riddleberger was the
leader of the minority which strove to pre-
serve to the Mahonites some semblance of
freedom, some show of popular representa-
ton, some right of free speech, and there
fore his gratuitous surrender was not only
bit of Humpty Dumpty business, but it
was an act Of treachery to those who put
him forward. This, however counts for
nothing in the school of Ethics followed
by the late convention; and the junior Sena-
tor from Virginia, perhaps. didn't have
sensibility enough to take this view of his
own department. No doubt he looked on
the affair as prodigious joke, and the alb
ject manner in which he sought shelter IN
der Malone is sufficient to show what sort
OF tin statesman on wheels he is when
emergency arises. If he had had anything
like the hardihood of Groner he could at
least have retired from the scene with his
comb uncut, but as it is, this remarkable
gamecock Of the Valley transformed himself
into puddle-duck and plunged into the
horse-pond with the most ridiculous haste
the very minute Malone looked at him at
close quarters. But the performance was
really logical, and in strict accord with the
general tone of the Convention, for there
could not be more gigantic joke conceived
by all the practical humorists in the coun-
try than that exhibited when such body
of men undertook to declaim on political
morality and the science of Government
