May be Adorned and Beautified.

Showing How Easily, With the Most In
different Materials, a Sleeping Room
May be Adorned and Beautified.
A bedroom may be daintily furnished
by clever hands at small expense The
dressing-table, which may be only a
common pine table or low stand with
shelves and wooden upright nailed to
the back to support the looking-glass,
Is covered with sateen or paper muslin
OF any desired color, over which white
muslin covering is arranged with cas-
eades OF frills or is simply gathered full.
Drapery of the same falls from the top
OF the mirror. The long box for hold
ing the dresses not in use has a thicklv
cushioned top with round bolster at
one end covered with some of the beau
tlful cretonne to be found at the dry
goods or upholstery stores; two LARGE
square cretonne covered pillows with
full frills complete the lounge. The
occasional tables are covered with
,retonne. Chairs, the seats of which
have not withstood the ravages of time,
may be reseated by covering them with
double strips of ticking or stout crash
plated and tackled firmly to the edges
OF the seat. Finish with a cretonne
covered cushion with full founce
reaching half way to the floor; or, if
preferred, cover the entire chair with
the cretonne. Take care to fasten the
cushion securely in place, else it is sure
to fall to the ground, revealing the skel-
eton which it was meant to hide from
the gaze of the uninitiated. If you are
not the fortunate possessor of table,
take three broomsticks and cut them of
equal length. stain them and cross them
at the middle. securing them with a
screw. Take the cover of large but
ter-frkin, or a square box cover, and
screw it to the broomsticks for the top;
cover smoothly with burlaps or any
thick material at hand, and then put
the cretonne over it. Old pine tables of
small size may be utilized, covering the
legs as well as the top with the cretonne.

EASY THINGS.

Things Easily Learned Are of Compare
lively Little VaIue-Hard Lessons Neces-
sary to Final Success.
There are some boys who do not like
to learn anything that is hard. They
like easy lessons and easy work, but
they forget that things which are
learned easily are of comparatively lit
tie value when they are learned. A
man who confines himself to easy
things must do hard work for small
pay. For example, boy can learn to
saw wood in i've minutes; any boy can
can learn to saw it in the same time;
any Ignorant person can learn it just
as easily; and the result is, the boy who
has only learned to saw wood, if he
gets work to do, must do it in COMPETE
ton with the most ignorant class, and
accept the wages for which they are
willing to work.
Now, it is very well for boy to
know how to saw wood. But suppose
he knew how to build steam enginea'
This would be much harder to learn
than saving wood; but when he had
learned it he would know something
which other people do not know, and
when he got work to do other people
could not come and get it away from
him. He would have prospect of
steady work and good wages; he would
have good trade and so be independ-
ent. Boys should think of this, and
spend their early days in learning the
thing they need to know in after years.
Some boys are very anxious to earn;
but this is not always best. 1t is often
more important that boys should learn.
When they are young they can earn but
little, but they can learn much, and if
they learn things thoroughly when
young, they will earn when they are
older much more than enough to make
up for the time and labor which they
spent in learning what to do and how
to do it.-Natio1eGt Presbyterian.

Old Pussy handsome and

Renowned sss is she;
If she sharpen Is 'tis death to a rat
Where one mouse Is caught by very smart
cat
This wonderful puss catches three.
Her dress is of gray, with broad trimmings
of black,
AS soft and as shiny as silk:
Though she has but one suit, she never is
slack,
But washes. her face, and each whisker
smooths back
On drinking her saucer of milk.
Her manner is gentle; her courage is great;
From none doth she flee but the man
Who comes for old rags to the area gate;
For the notion has entered her wise little
That he'll carry her off if he can.
1t CHANGED that neighbor, who lived very

And pussy's kind mistress, to make the way

Took home her pet parrot till she should ap-
Nor dreamt of the strife it would wake.
The parrot, though wise, but one sentence
could say,
Which reached the extent of his lore;
And this it would shrek fifty times day.
"Will you diner line, Win you dine? win you dine,
He shrilly would cry DER and Ger.
Old Pussy-cat Gray. fast asleep in chair,
Awoke from her dreams with q start.
What curious creature was sitting up there?
She gazed all about with wondering air,
Surprise in her small feline heart.

She thought, with blink of her eyes.
1t surely must taste quite as good as rat.

cat
To take pretty Poll by surprise.
The parrot, poor creature, looked on in dis

So he tried to prepare for the coming affray
By sharp ming his claws in bloodthirsty
And solemnly whetting his bill.
With green eyes aglow, and slow switching
her tail,
Puss suddenly sprang on her prey.
Then, oh! there arose such terrible WALL
The feathers and fur few like leaves in q
Alas! for poor Pussy-cat Gray.
"will you diner" shrieked the parrot, and
Pussy-cat Gray,
Her whiskers erect with alright,
Her tail, thrice its size, stood stock still in

away,
Her senses deserving her quite.
She hid meath the lounge, and that valorous
cat
Came not forth at her kind mistress
call;
For, though she had bravely slain many a
rat,
She dreamt not O chicken could speak out
like that,
So was not prepared; that was all.
Grown older and wiser is Pussy-cat Gray
a fat and solemn gray sinner;
Yet. show her parrot and she'll flee away
As quickly as when on the memorable day
That Polly but asked her to dinner.

Origin of the Amulet,

A kind of odiferous amulet. said To

successful. The hieroglyphics on the
diverse side of the charm are sunnosed
TO represent the Kaan's signature and
his proclamation warning others not to
interfere with his property. For hun
dreds OF years the amulet was handed
down as an heirloom and protection
against evil. When the Turkish race
became the eonquerors of the East thew
captured these charms and put on the

TYPE-SETTlNG MACHINES.

A New Invention Which Means Mischief

Nearly all of them are spectators in a

which is being perfected in Baltimore.
Here is machine which is manipu-
lated by a keyboard similar to that of
the typewriter. Each top of the kew
moulds and manufactures new type
out Of stereotype metal, so that one link
OF work represents solid bar of metal
with raised face of the letters struck.
This bar can be sliced like cheese for
the correction of proofs or iustifyinp,
and can be made in such shape that it
can be locked in cylindrical form so as
to go upon any of the presses where
stereotype plates can 90. The beauty
OF this work is that the presswork is
done each time from the face of new
type. Ii it is practicable the machine is
SO clean and simple that the work of
type-setting can be done in a parlor
without any dust or litter.

An orchard which is so large that

fertilize it is seldom profitable part of

of the flag viii take US back to the pc
Rod we were talking of in our history
talks. In January, 1776, the British
held Boston, and Washington's army
was encamped at Cambridge. 1t was
then that the American flag was un-
furled. 1t had thirteen stripes, red and
white as now, to represent the thirteen
colonies, but in the corner, on blue
ground, instead of stars, were two
crosses combined; the St. George Cross
and the Cross of st. Andrew, which is
like the letter K. The next year, by act
OF Congress, stars took the place of the
crosses. The number of stripes and
stars was changed by Congress two or
three times, but in 1878 it was settled
that there should be thirteen stripes and
star for every State. Faye Hunt

A Remarkable Woman.

A remarkable woman died recently in
Benares, in India. She was Anna,
widow of General James Kennedy, OF
the Bengal Cavalry. Her life set at
defiance all orthodox medical theories,
for though ninety-six years of age, she
never left the plains in India, going to
the hills for her health only on one oc-
casion. She lived to see no less than
one hundred and seventy-six lineal de-
scendants, of whom one hundred and
twenty-eight survive her. She was
married at the age of fifteen, and had
eighteen children, eighty grandchildren,
seventy-three great-grandchildren and
five Observation-Disclosures. Besides
military officers of inferior rank. her
father, husband, two sons, one son-in-
law and four grandsons were generals
IN the army. She lost her husband at
the age of eighty-two, after fifty-five
years of married life. For nearly half
century Mrs. Kennedy has been the
center of society at Benares, where she
accomplished the difficult task of being
equally popular with Europeans and
natives; and so great was her activity
OF mind and body to the very last that
whenever the Maharaiah of Benares
called upon her she never failed, though
thirty years his senior, to offer him the
use of her arm when he left. She re-
famed her vigorous intellect unimpxired
until the last.-L0ndOn IdDeT.

E: s; =! J! :;
not the. tf0O rom we maintain in
Arizona manag 80 keep these turbulent
spirits in little better order? Is it in
evitable that man who herds cattle
shall be savage of the lowest type,
and if it be, can not these savages be
taught by severe lessons to curb their
| savage instincts? 1t is evidently a great
injury to Arizona and New Mexico that
such class should go rampaging round
with impunity.
There is tendency in a certain class
of cheap literature to make popular
hero out of the cowboy. Much mischief
is done by misdirecting the minds of the
young. Boys can be found who think
it grand to carry knife in their boot
and a revolver in their belt. to swear
and swagger and drink and frighten
quiet people. 1t doesn't occur to them
that these are traits of the savage, not
the gentleman; that they covet dis
tinction in which the Apache will be
their superior. Brutality is never adj
mirable; even pirates have claimed to
be the mildest hammered men who ever
scuttled ship or cut throat. There is
no earthly reason why man who herds
cattle should lower himself in his habits
and manners below the level of the
beasts he tends. If the fashion has set
in this direction, it is time it were
changed and if the change costs the
lives of some cowboys, SO much the
worse for the cowboys.
People would be glad to hear of
smart correction being administered to
these scoundrels who are so free with
their revolvers. An officer who turned
loose on them and taught them lesson
that would be remembered for years,
would earn the gratitude of the coun-
try. This nation is strong enough and
its arm ought to be long enough to
reach disturbers of the peace in Arizona
and New Mexico as well as in Ohio or
New York. Even in so mi-barbarous
country as Russia such outrages as
the cowboys are fond of committing
would be followed by thorough investi-
CATION and punishment. A company of
mounted infantry started on the trail of
the criminals ought to be able to run
them to earth and no one would COM
plain of any extra severity displayed by
the troops when they caught them. We
must stop savagery at any cost.-San
francisco Chronicle.
