A NEATLY ornamental chair for a
sitting room can be made by taking a
small wooden backed rocker with a
woven rattan seat and painting it white
or light blue, pink or yellow, and then
dressikg It up with a slumber pillow
and tkin square curtain to match.
Sometimes the cushion is made long
enough to hang down in front nearly TO
the floor, but it is usually simply a
square cushion covered and decorated
like the pillow. These dainty affairs
are very popular. One white chair

made OF very coarse figured wool lace
over yellow silk, with the figures in the

Or ill my days with dread.
Leave to the rich his roast and wine;
Death waits on him who waits for all;

Evening Occupation.

During the wiDterseason, when the
evenings are long, it is well to have some
pleasant home occupation to amuse the
young folk. There is such a variety OF
pretty things made nowadays, in so
many kinds OF what we call fancy work
and the materials are so cheap and the
necessity ot them in making our homes
pretty and cheerful seems so great, that
the girls need never be at loss what
to do. There are pretty devices for
saving every scrap or silk or ribbon,
everv bit Of pretty worsted, and making
them into charming things of useful
ness-besides the many kinds of en-
broidery, lace work aud crochetipg
which almost every miss knows how to
do. A scroll saw IN the house is a source
of delight, as well frequently of profit,
tor both the boys and girls. / have in
my mind young miss of sixteen who,
in the few weeks preceding the hoIi-
day. sold some three dollars worth of
small pale.tes and easels made of holly.
to the young ladies OF the school on
which to paint pictures for gifts to
friends on Christmas. She sawed and
smoothed them herself in her leisure
moments, and used the money to pay
for materials for a mantle lambrequin,
which she embroidered exquisitely, and
gave her mother for Christmas. This
was all done in the evenings. A pleas
ant aid profitable way of spending part
of an evening, and one in which the
whole family can join, is TO have a
spelling school, Then there are puzzles,
and conundrums, and so many harmless
games, with which to pass an hour
away. But these should always be
secondary, and introduced only as des-
sert to The more substantial meal.

OId-Time scotch Horrors.

In the reign OF James /, of Scotland
there was born in East Lothia, a village
a few miles grom EdinbuTg, Sawney
Beane, the sou of poor but hard-woTk-
Ing people. Evincing from boyhood a
hatred Of al, labor, and displaying every
kind of vicious quality, he at an early
date abandoned h.s home and fed TO
Galloway. He was accompanied by fis
companion for his crimes in the person
of a young woman, a native of the same
village. The home OF this pair was in
cave of about mile in length and Of
considerable breadth, the mouth OF
which was washed by the sea, the tide
sometimes penetrating the cave a dis
tsnce of 200 yards. The victims were
waylaid under cover Of night on their
way from country fairs. or. in the case
of isolated travellers across the country,
were openly attacked in dsylighr. The
same soul sickening mutilation was In
ficted in each case the abdomen was
cut open and the eutrails dragged out
and the body carried TO the cave. To
prevent detection they murdered every
traveller they robbed, and for years they
continued their horrible calling. In this
manner, the chIonieler tells US, they
lived until they had eight sons and six
daughters, eighteen grandsocs and fouIN
teen granddaughters. After long
career-ot muder the gang were cap
tured by King James. who, reused 10

Noted Women at TIC WOman's Council and
How They Dressed and Looked.
Catharlne Cole in NeT Orleans Picaune:
Here was Susan B. Anthony in black
velvet gown and the inevitable scarlet
Canton Grape shawl over her slim figure,
which it is said she wears because it is
becoming to her. She is beautifully
dressed, with rich lace at her throat, and
is modest and refined; for all her public
speaking, all her unusual life, all her
long service to the suffrage movement
has not erased a single fine and womanly
line from her face, nor lost her one jot Of
the gracious dignity Of modest woman
hood, nor worn any angles into the sym
metry of her beautiful even temperament
and character.
Next her IL Lucy Stone, a weak, tiny
little body, the last woman in the world
one would select for Lucy Stone. Yet,
with her funny little old-fashioned cap
with its long laced lappets against each
faced cheek, her smooth bands OF gray
hair, her soft voice and gentleness, she is
all in accord with her gentle, old fashion
ed name OF Lucy. She fits the name and
the name fits her. Lucy Stone is the
wife of Mr.. Henry Blackwell, but from
point of view the law gives her right
to her own name, and she is MAYER called
Mrs. Blackwell, although the children
have the fathers name.

Our explorers have mapped out the

movem ents of the waters. They have
traced the southwark flow of the Arctic
waters to temper the climate of the tor
rid zone. They have followed the north
ward set of the heated waters of the
equator and have shown how they form
those wonderful rivers of warm water
that flow without walls, through the
colder waters of the sea till they strike
the western shores of Europe and Amer
lea, and how they render habItabie the
almost Arctic counties of Great Britain
and Alaska. They have even followed
these warm currents farther and shown
how they penetrate the Arctic Ocean to
lessen the rigors of the Arctic cod.

warm waters from the south.
