little luxurious ease On the subject OF
making these pillows, Good Housekeeping

and the rather intense blue tone is softened
very much by repeated washing before using
it. One of the newest of these pillows is OBJ
long, rather than square, a conventional
design marked on the under or light colored
side of the denim and outlined in white cord
either couched or buttonhtle stitched down.
The two narrow ends Of the pillow are FIN
ished by long fringe Of white cord. To
make this you cut the cord into twenty-five
inch lengths; take two of these lengths and
draw them through the denim an eighth of
an inch from the edge; twist them tightly
and tie little two inch tGssel made of the
cord into the end. Repeat thus along the end
of the pillow at intervals Of an inch or an
inch and quarter. The fine macreme or
hammock cord is the kind used.
For any one who wishes to avoid the many
stitches that even simple design involves,
are the pretty chintzes and cretonnes, or the
more expensive India silks, which come in
such exquisite colorings. These are decora-
tive with no other finish than that of draw
ing in the four corners and adding little
rosette of the chintz or silk. A very good
substitute for elder down or feathers in stuff
ing these pillows is excelsior, an inexpensive
substance to be found at any upholsterer's.

A woman's Battle.

The wife of Marcus Sisson, woodsman
living near Turnwood, y. ", had desper-
ate encounter with "A big male bear last
Tuesday. Her husband had been away in

from little house dog, Johnny ran 10
the door yelling at the top of his lungs:
"a bar, monte big big bar s arter
baby"
soizing a keen-edgod axe from tho wood
pile, ran into the house shouting:
"Up the ladder, Johnny! quick, get into
the loft -
Johuny hastily scrambled up the ladder
and Immediately there began desperate
battle between his mother and the bear

IL had doubtless been shot by some hunter,
rose on its hind legs and clawed at her

woman welded her axe with good effect,
inficting a dozen wounds on the brute, but
unfortunately none of them were fatal or
disabling.
Finally, feeling her strength falling,
Mrs. Sisson gave one long, agonizing
scream for help. she was answered almost

black hounds, which she knew to be her
husbands dogs, rushed in and tackled the

ur. Cleyeland,s Address.

Mr.. Cleveland devoted his address to
the Boston merchants to the subject OF
ballot reform, which he vigorously
advocated, declaring that the objections
TO its methods will fade away as have
those which were urged against civil
service reform. He ventured to say that
though not all Of those who urged their
objections to the popular Australian
system can be fairly charged with being
foss of ballot reform, yet 1t was within
their ranks that the enemies Of the re-
form are to be looked for, working in dis
ruise against II. Many persons will
think that this was coming mighty
cloee to smoking out the governor
Of New York, one David b. Hill,
who is largely advertised as candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomina.
tion, upon which Mr.. Cleveland Is gen.
orally supposed to have first lien.
Governor Hill vetoed ballot reform
bill passed by the last New York Legis-
lature because of certain objections of
his own concocting that did not have
much meat in them to the ordinary
mind but the governor stoutly pro-
claimed his devotion all the while TO
ballot reform. He may regard 1t as a
beautiful thing abstractly considered,
but he evidently has entirely too much
trouble In clearing the field for Its prac-
tical working to entitle himself to the
loud laudation Of the fervid friends of
the reform. And he does not get 1t. He
has not won the acclaim of the friends
Of either ballot or civil service reform.
Cleveland has, for an ex-president, q
remarkably good standing among the
civil service reformers, who seem TO
think that he did very well for their
cause considering the embarrassing cir
cumstances surrounding the presidency,
and which appear to be quite too much
for his successor in the Office. If civil
service reform had a. good chance
OF complete fruition as has ballot
reform, its friends might be well
content. The popular demand for
ballot reform is well nigh unanimous
outside the peddling politician but
there are good many people, who are
not interested in practical politics,
who have little appreciation of
civil SERVICE TeIorin, as IL IL prac-
ticed and preached, and who urge
weighty objections against the doctrine;
such for instance ms Its tending to create
an aristocracy Of office-holders. To many
people, the out-spilling Of the Office
holders occasionally see wholesome
performance. But no one thinks
It wholesome that the secrecy of the
ballot shall not be preserved and none
can deny that the only eflectual way to
preserve 1t is In the isolation of the voter
while he votes. 1t isa simple expedient
that IL necessary to secure the reform,
and the only one that will do 1t. 1t Is
represented in law that has had the
vindication of a practical use for many
years; and there does not seem to be any
reason why those who really want ballo
reform should not want this law

Whore Marriage Is Made Easy.

she falls In love with man she goes to
his house and tells him the state Of her
feelings. The reciprocatess all is well,
and q formal marriage is duly arranged.
II, however, he is unwilling, she remains
there, hoping TO coax him into better
mind. Tho poor fellow cannot treat her
with the least discourtesy or turn her
out, for her friends would be sure to
avenge the insult. His best chance there
fore, If he Is really determined that he
won't, is to leave his home and stay away
as long as she is in 1t. This IL certainly
a peculiar way of turning man out of
house and home. On tho isthnus OF
Darien either sex can do the courting,
with the natural result that almost every
body gets married. There is not the same
chance where the girl has to bide the
notions of u hesitating or bashful
swain.

Robert Browning.

The death of Robert Browning will Of
course draw out extravagant eulogies of
man who undoubtedly possessed great
poetical abilities and as certainly made
poor use of them. He might have been
. poet Of the masses, for when he chose
to bc simple and forcible he usually sue
ceeded, and he has written lines that
do not need careful study to make
plain their beauties. He chose to
be the poet Of the select and studious
few and appealed to the curious interest
that tempts men to waste time In un-
ravelling puzzles. He was profound
and keen thinker, but he took little
pains to make his thought clear, and 1t
must filter down through other minds
before 1t becomes actually available to
the great mass of intelligent acting and
thinking men and women. No poet
ever lived who was SO much written
about and commented on In his life
time. Thousands Of readers have wasted
millions Of valuable minutes in trying to
mud out just what Mr.. Browning meant
while he calmly neglected TO take the
least trouble to make himself clear.
Great thoughts, Imagination and artistic
sentiment are not enough to make
great poet and because Mr.. Browning
paid little attention to the musical
beauty of his lines and the clearness
Of his language he can never take
rank as great poet. His writings are
voluminous and his failure TO say bet
ter what he had to say cannot
to charged to economy of time
or labor, for he gave plenty Of
both, often repeated himself, and took
no pains to condense his work. Perhaps
1t il fortunate that he thus failed to take
higher rank as poet, for his philosophy
is not Of very healthy and cheerful
kind. His wife, Elizabeth Barrett, in
spired the best of his lines and will long
hold place as noble poet, and the bet
ter known and honored. This remark
able union Of genius assures to both
more lasting fame.
