Embroidery on Book Covers

Book embroidery figures among the most
recent fads of women with leisure time and
may also prove profitable field for needle
women who enter the market while it is still
a novelty.
In English libraries and collections are pre-
served many missals and antique volumes
bound in deliberately embroidered covers,
once the property of kings and queens. Book
embroidery would seem to have had great
fascination for Queen Elizabeth, for num-
Der of well authenticated specimens of her
handiwork in this line are in existence, one
of them done by the little princess when
but II years old as present to her mother
Queen Katherine. During the Seventeenth
century this species of embroidery was
an art brought to great perfection by
the English. A small copy of the Psalms,
made at that period, has as cover a most
perfect design of tulip exquisitely worked
on white satin in colors and in featherstitch
surrounded by what might be called almost
a strong wall of silver. The silver thread
with which the outer border is worked is so
delicately sewn that although it is in high re-
lief it is difficult to detect stitch, and the
satin ground, though perfectly fiat, is not at
all pulled by all the strong work on it.
Among work of today IS that of young
girl who has embroidered a cover for vol
ume of Whittier's poems, consisting of a
thick piled green velvet, the design being a
monogram of the poets initials in gold and
silver threads with a conventional border.
An amateur photographer, having filled a
portfolio with fine, large views of Hudson
river and Catskill scenery, his pretty sister
has designed for the volume which is to con-
tain them a cover of soft drab velvet against
which background she has embroidered the
old bridge in Sleepy Hollow with the head
less horseman hard on the heels of Ichabod
Crane, a fitting reminder of the legends of
the Western Rhine. A dainty prayer book
belonging to devotional little maid is cased
in black velvet, adorned with lily sprays.
A superbly illustrated volume of historical
costumes is bound in a cover Of pale greenish
blue silk, over which wanders design of
golden dragons, winged and with wonder
fully wreathed tails, which assault each other
ferociously with teeth and claws. Book en-
broidery is not difficult art if the artist
adopts conventionalized designs for small
covers, and subjects which can be treated in
mass without fine detail for all work.

cately tinted ribbon. Among other attract
i've or quaint things noted by the same au-
| thority are the following;
Low divans to put in one corner of small
room, or between a window and fire place
are easily made by covering two small mat
tresses, and laying one upon the other. An
other small mattress is covered and hung, by
means of hooks and rings, to the wall just
above the divan, SO that the edge reaches to it.
In window seats where space will permit,
two or even three shelves may be fitted in,
the upper one cushioned for a seat or used for
a stand for flowers, and the under ones for
| books and odds and ends. A curtain Of India
silk, hung on a tiny brass rod, will conceal
the litter of papers and magazines which will
accumulate in spite of continual wedding out.
In chamber it makes a good place for hid

The blue and white, red and white, red and

An Ivory" room or hall is the latest ''fad, :"
and really is not difficult to arrange. White
enalnellng has been IN vogue for some time,
but the latest tried is more creamy. The old
ivory japanese paper is used for panels,
jambS of mantel shelves and dado. Some
times the floor is enameled old ivory, and has
rugs and small carpets of Oriental make laid
on it. White frames for screens are used,
and the framework of all the furniture is
painted white.
A decoration which may be used in cham
bers, boudoirs or summer cottages is made of
art muslin and palm leaf fans. One room
seen had deep dado Of rich brick red pat
termed art muslin, Topped at short distances
by palm leaf fans, put sideways, with the
handles standing downwards. The mantel
shelf and door were decorated to match. The
fans were alternately self colored and painted
brick red. Sprays Of ivy were trailing over
the shelf and over the door. Some of the
fans had bows of satin ribbon tied around
the handle

A Curious Fish of Evil Fame.

The mud laff, a curious fish of evil fame
from its poisonous species, is a native of the
shallow waters within the reefs that nearly
surround the island of Mauritius, in the In
dian ocean. This hideous looking fish aver
erages from sixteen TO eighteen inches in
length. The spongy, wrinllled skin is blotched
with gray, brown and white on an olive
ground, but is so covered with mud and
weeds it Is only after deal of trouble it can
be cleaned. 1t seems to exude a glutinous
matter, which, attracting anything that it
comes in contact with, forms a thick coat
over the whole body.
The dorsal resembles an irregular row of
&ubercles, each with a spine, rather than a
cffh. and the vide, pulled out pectorals give
. the appearance of a ruff round the neck when
swimming. Being the color of the mud, it is
difficult TO distinguish at a short distance, and
ats small bright eyes near the top of the head
b. enable it to lie in wait unseen by its victims.
o. The hrute fattens out the great pectorals and
= sqnats in the mud, the head thrown back in
E51e thick folds on the shoulder and the great
mouth wide open to catch any unwary fish
that may pass that way.
The prey is sucked in and swallowed, but
it is a sorry day if a human hand or foot
touches it. When a foot is inadvertently
pressed against the body of the fish, it pro-
duces the erection of the spiny crest, envel-
oped in a skin rich in nervous threads, which
are very extensible. The membraneous YES
icle being compressed, the liquid it incloses
flows along the grooves of the spines, spurts
out, and penetrates rapidly and deeply into
the wound The venom of the laff, like that
of the viper, has less effect when in feshy
parts covered with fatty tissue, where the
Yenous System is little developed, than when
it penetrates a vein. When wound Is at
any extremity it becomes instantly painful,
circle of livid red surrounds it, with rapid
swelling. Later an abscess forms, and when
opened a fetid brown pus flows from it; at
the same time pallor of the face, feeling of

SURE.
This can be easily accomplished after g
few trials, according to La Nature, which
journal tells how to do it. Attach a coin OF
any small heavy object to q string, and, hold
ing it in the hand, carefully lower it into
the liquid. Although there is apparently no
weight added to the glass of water, yet it
win Immediately sink down, the supporting
knives turning upon the corks like the beam
of a scale Lift the coin from the water and
the glass will rise again, returning to its
former position, and by the proper manipu-
lation of the coin the glass can be made to
dance up and down at will
The explanation of this simple experiment
is not as easy as it might seem. 1t is really
an illustration Of the upper pressure of
liquids. When the coin is dipped into the
water it displaces an amount equal to its own
bulk, and is buoyed up by a force equal to
the weight of that bulk of water This up
ward pressure reacting against the bottom of
the glass forces it downwards, the same as if
an additional amount of water, equal in bulk
to the coin, had been poured into the glass,
thus increasing its weight. We can readily
understand that if piece of wood, or any
substance that floats on water, were placed
in the glass, the weight of the whole would
be increased, aud a precisely similar effect is
produced when an object that would other
wise sink in the water is suspended in it, al
though it does not touch the glass contain
ing it.
Any sufficiently delicate balance, or pair of
scales, may be substituted for the arrange
ment of knives and bottles, figured above, if
desired

As shown in the design here given, the
whatnot is in the form of a shield, with two
shelves across the front. It is covered with
plush, either black, very deep wine color,
purple or any color against which the china
will show well and is edged with gold braid
Dark rich plush furnishes one of the most
effective of all backgrounds for china and
bric-a-brac, and any old pieces of white and
gold china can hardly be exhibited to better
advantage than on some such arrangement
as this.

Fort Crawford Mineral Springs

The two oldest cities in Wisconsin

The latter was long q well-known
frontier trading post, and was at an
early date the site OF q United States
garrison. In the war of 1872, 1t was
captured by British forces. and held
till the close of hostilities. From
1915 to 1885, the United States kept q
large garrison here, and built Fort
Crawford, fortress of large area and
great strength. The town possesses
remarkable mineral springs, one of
which has a depth of thousand feet
and furnishes an inexhaustible supply
of water. 1t has wonderful healing
powers in all rheumatic troubles and
diseases of the liver and kidneys, and
some astonishing cures have been
effected by it. 'eThe Burlington" has

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucus
lining of the Eustaehian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the in
fiamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucus sur
faces.

seven eclipses will occur; and in on
interval slightly exceeding q year
Jan. 5, 1885, to Jan. s, 1936-will be
the almost unique number of eight
