made to induce Earl Carnarvon TO accept
the position of viceroy OF Ireland with

to home rule. Lord Carnarvon will without
doubt decline to return TO Dublin castle,
but it is quite certain that he will maintain,

\ report comes from Bartlett of case
OF cruelty which has few parallels. q.
Van SteeHburgh, who has heon keeping
the Standisli house in that place, is said
to have driven his invalid stepdaughter
from the house. The mother, who in
tcrceded in behalf Of her daughter, was
also forcibly elected from the house by
her husband. Their personal effects were
thon placed out of doors by Van Steen-
burgh. Tho sick girl and her mother
were taken to tho Standish house, now

cared for. There seems to be no cause
for Van Steenburgh brutality, and the

The edges should be turned In, bordered
with some pretty cheap lace and, of course,
few bows of ribbon will add to its beauty.
Small toilet mats may be made In the same
way.
An artistic pincushion is made out of a
half yard Of soft surah or China silk Of
some bright shade, such as yellow or scarlet.
Cut the silk crosswise into three equal parts
and make each piece into little bag, with
a deep hem about the mouth. Fill the bag
with bran or cotton and tie Just below the
hem with narrow satin ribbon, the color of
the silk, leaving butterfly bows at each side.
The three bags are then Joined together at
the tops with few strong stitches and the
cushion Is finished. Owls, birds, and other
animals are sometimes painted on the silk.
The cost Of such cushion would be about
40 cents, and would make pretty Christ
mas gift.
Coarse canvas bagging, which is one Of
the cheapest of materials, Is used extern
sively for decorative purposes, and with a
little care may be made very effective 1t
may be made into bedroom portieres, mats,
table covers, and other articles, and Is eX-
cellent for drawn work. A handsome
pair Of portieres made Of this material
have Just been completed for bedroom
closet The dark fawn of the canvas is re-
lieved about the edge by wide band Of
outline stitch done in golden linen thread,
aud above this runs II row Of Greenway
figures in scarlet and blue. The edge Is
fringed for depth of SIX inches, and bow
OF scarlet ribbon ornaments "A corner.
A purse of netted silk Is coveted by al
most every woman. To make one, purchase
spool Of knitting silk Of the desired color
-black or scarlet is the best-and, with Il
crochet needle, make chain of forty.flve
stitches, and on this a row Of long stitch,
and then one Of close stitch, and so on until
the strip Is about eight inches long. Then
sew together TO form bag, leaving the
opening in the center of the seam. Put a
silk aud bead fringe on both ends, and
purchase pair Of rings for the center. II
a beaded purse Is desired the beads must be
strung on the silk before crOcheting is be-
gun, The entire spool must be unwound,
threaded with beads, and rewOund on an
other spOOl
