A CoZY CORNER.

The foundation for such really decora-
tive and useful furnishing is laid in learn
ing to use ordinary tools, such as the
hammer, saw, plane, and so on. 1t is a
mistake, to say the least, to divide indus
trial training so that all of one kind falls
to girls and all of another to boys.
Mothers will do well to teach Bert and
Sam gentle manners by letting them hold
the baby sometimes, while Kate and Lou
spend jolly hour or so in the shop with
their father, learning to drive nail with
out pounding their fingers off, and to do
the numberless odd jobs, they will con-
stantly be thankful as housekeepers for
knowing how to do.
Among the comfortable and ornamen-
tai details of furnishing, corner seats
built into the house have an important
place. They are just the thing to put in
the corners made by chimneys, to build
into bow-windows and into odd hooks
all over the house. The frames are easily
and cheaply put together, and the cush-
ions and covers are inexpensive if made
at home. Excelsior makes a good filling
for the seats and backs. For the cush-
ions, use curled hair or feathers, and by
all means have one in each corner filled
with the odorous pine needles aud fir
boughs. Whatever the materials used
for filing and covers, the cushions should
be large, and there should be plenty of
them. Covers of "crushed" plush are
pretty. They are made simply with a
silk cord about the edges, or ornamented
with rich applique work. The better
qualities of cretoons make nice-looking
cheap covers for these pillow-cushions.
There should be a strong inner cover Of
closely woven stuff when silk outside
covers are used, and always upon fir pill
lows. Wash silks are the only ones suit
able for covers, and they should be more
easily detachable Courier-Jouyna2.

PILLOWS AND HOLSTERS.

Where pillows are used on the bed in
the daytime, they are usually the large
size, measuring twenty-seven inches by
thirty In many cases, however,
the pillows are left off the bed and
round bolster is substituted. This latter
mode is often adopted when lace cover
let over colored silk or satin is used in
place of a white counterpane. The boil
ster is then covered with silk and lace to
match the remainer of the bed. There
is no certain rule in such matters, how
ever. Each housewife uses her taste,
and a pair of lace shams over silk are
quite as often used. With a white bed,
which many housekeepers prefer, in spite
of the fashionable use of color, pillows
and pillow shams of hemstitch9d or em-
broidere1 linen or muslin are used. Hem
stitched linen pillow cases are now sold
so low that they are in quite general use.

Agile Women.

The writer was recently riding on the
rear platform of Fifth street car, when,
'as the horses sped along, a pretty, rose
checked, agile young lady, with skirts
gathered neatly in one hand, swung
gracefully aboard and took a seat.
"She's pretty active" remarked the
writer, "Oh, she does that every day, I"
replied the conductor "We never stop
for her. There are a number of ladies
on this line who never signal the driver
to stop. One of these is an old lady of
sixty years, and she is one of our most
regularipassengers. No matter how fast
the car is going she can swing on as
easily and gracefully as man. We
never stop for her. It would make her
angry if we did. But if her husband is
along he signals us to stop. He doesn't
like TO have his aged wife appear so
giddy, and besides, he is troubled with
gout to such an extent that, if he were
to attempt to board a car while in
motion, he would measure his length on
the street. - Cincinnati Times Star.

In the opinion of the Farm and Fire
side, there can be seen the promise of
the time when all the great, treeless
prairies Of the West will be dotted over
with beautiful forest groves. Many
thousand acres of forest trees are now
annually planted there fastened by
necessity and encouraged by legislation
the work is going on at an accelerating
rate. Doubtless, in half century the
appearance and condition of the whole
Western country will be greatly changed
for the better by timber culture.

CUI BONO

Over and over and over again
SO runs the world away, -
Come dawns Of pearl, and golden moons, /
And twilights soft and gray.
Over and over and over again
Throughout the live-long year
The stars hang high in the midnight sky
1t it happen TO be clearl
Over and over and over again
So runs the world away,
The rivers pour their crystal store
Into the gulf or bay.
Over and over and over again
The wind so fierce and wild
Blows DER the mead, unless, indeed,
1t happens to be mild.
Over and over and over again
So runs the world away,
The white, white souls of angels come
To visit earth a day.
And when their little day is done
Brief hours of grief and pain
These men and women go 70 be
Bright angels once againl
Over and over and over again
The world is white with snow,
Over and over the flowers bloom
As seasons come and go,
Over and over and over again
Young Cupid bags his game; -,
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
To him they're all the same
Over and over and over again
We poets feel inspired;
Over and over we write our lays,
Till readers land wei get tiredl
Over and over and over again
We eat and drink and die -
Pay old Times tips, pass in our chips y
I'd like to know just why?

How Long Shonld We Sleen ?

Up to the fifteenth year most young
people require ten hours, and until the
twentieth year nine hours. After that
age every one finds out how much he OF
she requires, though, as a general rule,
at least six to to eight hours is necessary.
Eight hours sleep will prevent more
nervous arrangements in women than
any medicine could cure. During growth
there must be ample sleep if the brain is
to develop to its full extent; and the
more nervous, exeitable or precocious
child is, the longer sleep should it get, il
its intellectual progress is not to come to
premature standstill, or its life cut
short at an early age.

Some Curious Chinese Slang.

Some of the ordinary expressions of
the Chinese are very sarcastic aud
characteristic. A clustering harmless
fellow they call ''paper tiger" When
a man values himself overmuch they
compare him to ga rat falling into a
scale and weighing itself" OVERRIDING
a thing they call "hunohback making
a bow A speudthrift they compare to
a rocket which goes of at once. Those
who eXpend their charity on remote OBJ
iects, but neglect their family, are said
''to hang a lantern on a rope, which is
seen afar but gives no light below. -

It is not often TINT two stones are

II is not often that two stones are re.
moved bSAhe killing Of one bird, but
such seq be the result of a recent in
novat a sporting customs. For years
humane people and humane societies
have protested against the shooting of
pigeons from traps, and the ingenuity of
the United States has been devoted for a
time almost equal, to devising means for
the elimination of the English sparrow.
Now the trap-shooters have taken to us
ing sparrows for targets, thus at once
giving pigeons a chance for life and re-
ducing the surplus of the brown-feath-
cred little nuisances. 1t may be suggested
that what is cruelty to a pigeon is cruelty
TO sparrow, and this is probably true.
The real answer seems to be that the kill
ing Of either sparrow or pigeon from a
trap is no more cruel than to shoot the
same bird free upon the wing, but that,
while the sparrow is pest, the pigeon is
a useful bird ard its butehery without
giving it a chance for its life is wantou
and unsportsmanlike, threatening the ex-
tinction of its kind.

/ A member Of the suite of a German
Prince tells romantic story concerning
the youth of the late Empress Augusta.
At the age of seventeen she thought of
!. nothing but the romances and gallantries
- the old French court, and was pre-
med to fall in love with everything
French. She was hedged in by most
irksome etiquette in her fathers cour5of
Weimar. However, one day, a young
French nobleman of an ancient family
arrived at Weimar. He danced with the
Princess ut a court ball, and they fell in
love at first sight. Secret meetings in
the palace grounds followed. Unfortu-
nately Augusta's maid lost letter from
the Frenchman, very tender and i'm
passioned epistle, picturing among things
the ideal of love in the pastoral lands of
the New World. Il was discovered by
the Grand Duke, who's indignation was
very great, In the t.citcment which
followed the Grand Ducal Chamberlain
challenged the Frenchman to a duel and
killed him. He died pressing hand
kerehief of the Prineess's to his lips.
She never loved any one else, her mar
riage with the Emperor William having
been simply one Of convenience,

A man in Illinois has just married his
sixth wife Every one of his wives
brought him farm, and he is now one
of the largest landed proprietors in this
county. This shows, sagely observes
the Reading Penn) Herald, that mar
riage is great success if it is managed
properly, and that if man sticks to that
business, as well as any other, he is
bound to come out ahead in the end.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
CLEAN TINwARE.

If you want to judge of the quality OF
a housewife, glance at her tinware hang
ing in the kitchen. If it is bright and
shining and arranged neatly so as to give
good effect, just set the woman in charge
down as an Al housekceper, and worthy
of any man. Some women will clean
their tins, but if they are not good house
wives they will rarely arrange them in a
neat methodical way in their places
