Burnt Wood Decorations.

I was in Paris two years ago studying art
says a st. Louis artist, but had not at that
time heard Of this art Of burning pictures on
wood, which is for the first time revealed to us
here by the Fosdick collection at the EXPOSE
ton. Curious to test 1t, after seeing it last
week, procured some wood and tried a de-
sign. find the work 30 easy that it opens q
field for decoration that the commercial
minded people in this country have wanted for
years. 1t is admitted that we want our art
cheap. Hence believe woodworking will be-
come popular, for its effects are as good as
frescoing and carving, and can be had more
chesply, Any one who has seen the collection
of panels at the St. Louis exposition must ad-
NIT their effectiveness in decoration. ANY
artist Of skill can, with little practice, pro-
duce these panels. The work simply amounts
to an outline picture, such as most newspaper
drawings are. The artist gets piece Of smooth
wood-say maple, poplar or boxwood--and
draws design with pencil or charcoal Then
heating a sharp iron he draws il over the de-
sign. obtaining the effects Of color with little
practice. These will vary from black to light
brown, according TO the degree Of heat an
Piled Take an ordinary door. for instance.
II the design Ia not too elaborate it can be done
for about Ola. II the artist works fast he can
finish IL IN day. In the same way a man can
have the doors, walls or wainscoting of his
house decorated and secure Just 40 fine effects
e carving aud frescoing, but at far less cost.
The art ID entirely new in this country, but
will develop very rapidly on account Of the
reasons have given.

Der Of cases upon which divorce was granted.
In one case where a divorce was granted to the
wife il was alleged that ''the defendant thus

night, and when he does return he keeps plain
tin (rife) awake talking. Defendant also Keeps
saloon, which sorely grieves mind of plaintiff.
The husband, replying. says: Plaintiff should
not be ashamed Of him because temporarily in
the liquor business; that he may do better some
day; his father was high state officer IN Ger
many. But the divorce is awarded TO the wife
on the ground of mental cruelty"
In another case plaintiff alleges that de-
PENDANT does not wash himself, thereby infiict-
ing on plaintiff great mental anguish"
The facts in another case are thus given:
Defendant made plaintiff climb ladder to
drive nails in the wood she'd Not liking the
way she drove the nails, he lsssoed her on
coming down from the ladder, tied her fast to
the gate post, then stuck sticks and straws In
her nose and ears, gouged his knuckles in her
eyes, and said he wanted to see il she was
Dutch" On untying her he threw or showed
her into nest of bees; all OF which soreiy
grieved the plaintiff In body and mind
HE MADE HER POINT"
The following brief record explains the woe
Of another couple:
Defendant Is q ranchman. fond Of hunting
and dogs. He has treated this plaintiff cruelty
tn this: When he returns from the hunt be
cries down, charged and points his whip
whereupon, If this plaintiff does not drop on
her knees and initiate the pointing of . dog
the defendant cruelty beats and mistreass her.
''For the past three years, il 10 stated in an.

DON'TS FOR THE SICK ROOM.

Don't light a sick room at night by
means of a jet of gas burning low moth
ing im%provcrishes the air sooner. Use
sperm candles or tapers which burn in
sperm oil.
Don't allow offensive matters to remain.
In cases of emergency where these cannot
be at once removed wiring a heavy cloth,
for instance, like Turkish toweling, out
of cold water, use it as a cover, placing
over this ordinary paper. Such means
prevent the escape of odor or infection.
Don't forget to have a few beans of
coffee handy, for this serves as a deodor-
izer if burnt on Goals or paper. Bits of
charcoal placed around are useful in
absorbing gases and other impurities.
Don't have the temperature of a sick
room much over 60 degrees; 20 degrees
are allowable, but not advisable.
Don't permit currents of air to blow
upon the patient. An open fireplace is
an excellent mean of ventilation. The
current may be tested by burning a
piece OI I'D front.
Don't give the patient a full glass OF
water to drink from, unless he is allowed
all he desires. If he can drain the glas:
he will be satisfied, so regulate the
quantity before handing it to him.
Don't neglect during the day to attend
to necessaries for the night, that the resi-
Of tho natiapt and tha fan,tlx- , NOT hf
disturbed.
Don't ask a convalescent if he would
like this or that to eat or drink, but pre-.
pare the delicacies and present them in {;
tempting way.
Don't throw coal upon the fire; place il
in brown paper bags, and lay them oil
the fire, thus avoiding the noise, which is
shocking to the sick and sensitive.
Don't jar the bed by leaning or sitting
upon it. This is unpleasant to one i'll and
nervous
Don't let stale flowers remain in a sicl
chamber.
Don't be unmindful of yourself if yor
are in the responsible position of nurse
To do faithful work you must have prop.

REMEDY FOR CRAMPS,

The number of people who are troubled
with cramps in their legs is considerable.
DIR. II. w. st. Clair, in the Medical Age,
says that it comes on suddenly, and is
very severe. Most people Jump out of
bed Git nearly always comes on either just
after going to bed or while undressing),
and ask some one to rub the leg. Ihave
known it to last for hours, till, in despair,
they would send for the family physician {;
and even then it would be hours before
the spasm would cease.
There is nothing easier than to make
the spasm let go its hold, and it can be
accomplished without sending for a doc
tor, who may be tired and in need of Il
good nights rest. When have a patient
who is subject to cramp, | always advise
him to provide himself with a good strong
cord. a long garter will do if nothing
else is handy. When the tramp comes
on, take the cord, wind it around the leg
over the place that is cramped, and take
an end in each hand and give it a sharp
pull, one that will hurt a little. Instantly
the cramp will cease, and the sufferer can
go TO bed assured it will not come on
again that night.
l have saved myself many a good
nights rest simply by posting my pat
tents, subject to spasm of the legs, how
to use the cord as above. | have never
known it to fail, and | have tried it after
they had worked half the night, and the
patient was in the most intense agony
Even in such cases, at the first jerk of the
cord all pain left.

FEATHERED PETS.

Do not hang your bird merely where
his cage looks pretty, advises Il writer in
Our Dumb Animals. Nor must you fly
to the other extreme, and place him in "A
glare of sunlight, even in winter. Birds
suffer and die from this cause. The best
way is TO give him qis choice put him in
the sun and shade a part of his cage, so
that he may do as he likes. You will
notice that he often sits in the shade.
Remember and take care about placing
him in a draft, or too close TO even a
closed window, except on warm summer
days. 1t is as great IA mistake to put him
where he will be subject to the dry, burn
ing heat of IA furnace or stove. Dc not
hang his cage too high nor too low, but
let him breathe the pure air which you
breathe yourself.
From November till June wrap his
cage nightly in a warm shawl or draw
oyer it a thick flannel cover, and never
place the cage on the floor, rs l saw
advised not long ago.
Your birds need variety as well as you,
bird store men and bird book writers to
the contrary, Notwithstanding. Give

slice of banana or apple, and fasten the
delicacy so that it cannot fall TO the floor,
A dainty bird will not touch it if it falls.
Also, now and then, perhaps three times
a week, give him a snip or two of raw
beef the size of a pin head, larger if he's
a mocking bird. He may look asKance
at first, and turn his wise black eyes
upon it with curiosity. hut will soor
relish it, and eagerly snatch it from your

LoC KossUTH.


Sketch OF the champion oil Freedom, Now
said to BE Near Death.
The information that Louis kUssuth at the
,ge of 81 is slowly dying of exhaustion rouses
o thousand curious "reminiscences in the
minds of old readers of American papers, for
there was a season when the name "kossuth"
figured in ten thousand columns, blazed in
flaming colors on many brands of goods, gave
title to popular organizations and even to
hats and other articles of apparel. No for
eigner since Lafayette had excited such en-
thusiasm in the United States. He returned
to Europe and the reaction came; it was
charged that he had collected money for
Hungary and used it himself. This SANDER
died, and he fell into the ranks of the many
thousand forgotten unfortunates Hungary
was reconciled to Austria, the Pan-Slavic
party took control, and Kossuth, in disgust
and despair, retired to Turin, Italy, where
he has lived for t~wenty-seven years.
Laios louis Kossuth was born April 81,
1902, and his blood was chiefly Slavic, despite
the fact that his family adhered to the Mag
var party, and he eventually became its lead
er. The union between Austria and EIuscary
was originally an equal one, free as It is now,
and there were no more loyal subjects than

LOUIS kossCrH' and wrote French,
Magyar, Italian and German with fluency,
and was versed in Latin, then the legal Ian
guage of Hungary. During his captivity he
learned English from a Bible and dictionary,
and was able to make a public address in that
tongue on landing at Southampton.
The Austrian government suppressed the
papers he edited and condemned him to four
years Imprisonment; the people rose in re-
volt and he was chosen governor of a revo-
%lutionary organization. But n large section
of the Slavs, led by the Croat chief, Ban
Jellachich, armed against him; Russia at
once supported the Slavs and the contest was
quickly decided. Kossuth fed into Turkey
and Gorgey, pressed by overwhelming num-
bers, surrendered. Austria demanded the
surrender of kossuth, and the Turks pro-
posed to him to turn Mohammedan so they
would nave a religious plea for refusing.
Then it was discovered that he was of the
Lutheran faith, which, apparently, no one
had thought of inquiring about before.
England and France now notified the
Turks that they need not surrender the pa
triot, and the United States sent the war
steamer Mississippi to bring him to America
as the nation guest. He arrived in New
York Dec. 3, 1851, and for a few weeks ell
joyed a wonderful ovation. The sensation
did not last long, and he went to Paris and
other capitals for aid; but the cause of Hun
gary was forgotten in the Crimean war and
other excitements. Austria lost her Italian
provinces by the war of 1859 and had to come
to terms with Hungary. General amnesty was
declared and the Hungarian diets powers re-
stored; the two nations became one as to the
crown and two as to legislation, and there
was no more cause for agitation. Kossuth
protested INT retired. His countrymen 10y
ally supported the new system, but main
tanned their respect for the old agitator.
For t~wenty-seven years he has been an Ital-
ian, practically, and his two sons are bust
ness men in Turin.
