Deep inhalation is said to be the key

well as drink, deep if you would be

we would have no impure blood.

II Moussa Effendi Khouri is right,
the value Of silkworms will soon be

manufacture silk without the aid of
silkworms, and now he claims he has
succeeded. He has patented his in

countries of Europe. In this country
lac has also filed an application for a
patent.
After studying for long time the
manner in which silkworms do their
work Moussa Effendi Khouri came to
the conclusion that quite fine silk
could be made out of the twigs and
bark of the mulberry tree, as is made
at present from the leaves. He there

twigs, discarding the services of the

labor he succeeded in producing "A silk

The wood may be either hard like

of all. End pieces about five feet high,
with grooves on the inside to hold the
shelves, the fronts of which are either
rounded or finished with stripes OF

selves can be made by an ordinary car
penter. Let it fill the space between
the chimney and the end of the room or
the entrance doorway and the side, warm

proceed to arrange the treasures OF many
a lifetime. Do we realize that these
best works of good men and women are
the epitomes of vast labor, research and
thought? Then let us house them with
genuine tenderness.
1t is good plan to have the bottom
shelf broad enough to hold aliases and
books of reference, like heavy cyclic
pedias, when laid on their sides, unless
we have for them special rests or tables
Large, heavy leaves are inclined to break
away and drag down from the back, and
then book soon goes to ruin. That is
the reason why children should be taught
never to pick up book by one cover
only. 1t tears the cover loose from the
back. For no reason ought child to be
taken by the ear except to show it how
a book feels-or to a book lover seems to
feel-when dragged about by a single
cover.
After the books are arranged in the

couple of pictures on easels, with CEN

cate the space to an indiscriminate lot
of bric-a- brac is Dissertation. Nor
should it be used for an old paper shelf;
let papers be relegated to their proper
receptacles 1t is, though, a place for
current magazines and book or two
subject to daily perusal.
But the bookcase Is not YET nnlSneu.
In front, depending from brass rod, let
us hang a curtain of India silk, the color
of which shall harmonize with the pre-
vailing tint of the room. This"curtain
should be drawn only when the room is
busted. On sweeping daya muslin cover,
kept for this purpose, is thrown over the
top, and reaches to the floor, for our

How to Fit Nearly Every Corner In tho
House with One of Them.
AS if in protest against the sheer Of
those who declare that women suffer
from a scarcity of pockets, bags have
been introduced in many forms-for
busting clothes to hang in all rooms,
from the drawing-room to the bedroom,
for shoes and stockings in the bedroom,
for laundry in the bedroom closet or
bathroom, for the silver of chamois
skin, for the diningroom buffet. In
fact, nearly every corner of the house
may now be fitted up with an ornamen-
tai and useful bag for something. The
busting bag properly may hang in every
room in the house, and contain little
hemmed square scrim, which should
be changed when soiled for a fresh one.
This bag is properly made of linen, en-
broidered in white linen floss, or Of
cretonne or any nice ornamental cotton
that can be laundried. A curtain-ring
of wood is the proper thing to suspend
it from, as it can not be soiled like rib
bon. This bag may be a very orna-
mental piece of work in any of
the graceful South Kensington pat

ranted not to change color A flower
and spider-web is an especially appro-
pirate design for this purpose. A shoe
bag is a very useful article, well-nigh
indispensable to a well-ordered house
hold. These bags should be made of
some washable material like chintz or
cretonne. A towel of large size makes a
very useful laundry bag for small articles
like handkerchiefs and collars. A will.
low hamper is the most suitable recep-
| tacle for the main part of the washing.
The bag of chamois leather to hold the
silver not in use is probably best made
simply with or without lining of cot
ton flannel, though this material is
specially recommended to wrap silver bv
silversmiths. The most useful bags
which may be made of silk or velvet or
other rich materials are the large
square workbags which are carried by
ladies generally now. These bags
should be lined, closed at the top with
drawing strings of silk cord. Such bags
should measure about ten or twelve
inches square in size, or larger as the
wearer fancies. A dainty bag is now
sometimes hung across the top of a
chalr' and Is furnished with perfumed
head-rest on the chair, while the bag
hangs at the back.-N. Y. Tribune.
