THISTLE POMPONS.
How to Make These Charming Additions

How to Make These Charming Additions
to q Bouquet.
An exchange thus tells how to make
beautiful pompons for home decoration:
Select large, half-blown thistle and
cut off all the green part at the base of
the blossom, just above the stem. Hang
the thistle in the open air, exposed to
the sun and wind, and, in the course of
day or two, the inside downy part will
expand into full, rounded pompon, or
pun ball. Then pull out the purple
petals which had developed into bloom
when you had selected the half-open
thistle. Hang up the pompon again
in an airy place, and in the course Of q
week 1t will have bleached cream
white. These pompons are as feathery
and delicately pretty as swans-down.
They are great addition to a bououeJ
or basket of grasses.
M1lk-Weed pompons are not quite as
easily made but are more silky and
nearer pure white than the thistles.
When the milk-weed pods are ripe,
make collection Of them, and they can
be kept half year or more before the
pompons are made, If so desired, or the,
puff balls can be made at once, as fol-
lows: Have some very fine wire, such as
Is used for bead-work, and cut it into
pieces four inches long. Dip the pod in
water, and then open it. Ii will be
found filed with many bundles of web
like white fibers. Pull of several OF
these and wrap the wire around the
ends which were attached to the center
stem. Brush off the black seeds adj
herring to the other ends, Wire q num-
Der Of the bundles, as just described,
then with another piece Of wire, to wind

making rounded pompon, City florists

FOSTERING OLD HICKORY.

How Faithful Partisan Earned IN Old
Black Coat.
One morning, scarcely fortnight aft
or General Jackson'S arrival at the
White House, shabby-genteel-look
man presented himself at his parlor,
and, after the usual salutation and shak-
ing OF hands, expressed his Joy at see
ing the venerable old gentleman at last
hold the situation Of Chief Magistrate of
the country, to which his bravery, his
talents and his unimpeachable rectitude
fully entitled him.
1--WE have had hard time Of it," said
he, Gin our little place; but our exer-
lions were unrenitting; I myself went
round to stimulate my neighhors, and at
last the victory was ours. We beat them
by majority of ten votes; and now
behold the result of that glorious tri-
umphI'
The General thanked him in terms of
studied politeness, assuring him that he
would resign his Office in an instant if
he did not think his election gave salts
faction to vast majority of the people;
and at last regretted his admirers zeal
for the public veal should have been SO
severely taxed on his account.
'Oh, no matter for that, SIR" said he;
81 did it with pleasure did it for my
self and for my country" (the General
bowed); land I now come to congratu-
late you on your success (the General
bowed AGAIN.. 81 thought, sir, that, as
as you are now President of the United
States, might, perhaps, be useful to you
in some official capacity" (The Gener-
al looked somewhat embarrassed.)
pray, sir. have you already made a
choice Of your Cabinet Ministers?"
Il have" was the reply of the Gem
eral.
''Well, no matter for that; I shall be
satisfied with an embassy to Europe.'
81 am sorry to say there is no va
oancy."
Then you wifi, perhaps, require a
head clerk in department of Slater"
''These are generally appointed by
the respective Secretaries
81 am very sorry for that; then
must be satisfied with some inferior ap-
pointment."
II never interfere with these; you
must address yourself to the heads of
departments"
"But could not be postmaster in
Washington Only think, General, how
worked for YOU"
II am much obliged to you for the
good opinion you entertain Of me, and
for your kind offices at the last election;
but the postmaster for the city of Wash
ington IS already appointed"
'Well, don't much caro- for that; I
should be satisfied with being his clerk"
This is subject you must mention
to the postmaster
why, then, General" exclaimed the
disappointed candidate for office,
"haven't you got an old black coat2''
You may well imagine that the Gen.
eral gave him one.

Allison Chosen.

The deadlock in the Iowa Legisla-
ture has been broken at last and Sena-
tor Allison is reelected from that
State. The deadlock was not caused
by any trouble over his reelection,
but by the organization Of the Legis-
lature.

was born at Perry, Ohio, March 2,
1920, He was educated at, the West
ern. Reserve College, Ohio; studied
. law and practiced in Ohio until he
removed, to, Iowa in 1857. He served
on the staff OF the Governor Of Iowa
and aided in organizing volunteers in
the beginning Of the war for the sup
precision of the rebellion, and subse-
queptty was elected a representative
in the Thirty-eighth. Thirty ninth,
Fortieoh and Forty-irst Congresses.
He was elected TO the United, States
Senate to succeed James Harlan and
took his seat March 4, 1873. He was

County Official Paper.
THE JONES SILVER BILL.

Wednesdays Times-Review pub
fishes an article on the above meas
ure, which appeared in these columns
yesterday, from which we reproduce
the following:
The only difference that we can dis
Germ between the bill presented by
Senator Jones, and the Window plan,
pure and simple, is that instead of
leaving the silver purchases discre-
tionary with the Secretary Of the
Treasury, it limits them to S4,5OO,OOO
per month but makes it obligatory
upon him to purchase that amount,
sat market prices not eTceeding 81
for 371.25 grains Of pure silUer,'
which is the amount Of pure silver,
without the alloy, contained in a
standard dollar. That is, hepurchases
at the market price" SO long as the
metal is belO1U par, but if it should
raise above that standard, purchases
would have to stop altogether. The
bill repeats the present Coinage Act,
and makes it obligatory to coin only
"such portion of the gold and silver
bullion purchased under the pro-
visions Of this act as may be necessary
to provide for the redemption of the
Treasury notes herein provided for"
1t leaves silver still in the condition
of commodity, and removes the goal
of free coinage into the gloomy mists
of an indefinite future.

TO IMPROVE HANDBALL.
Suggestions Regarding How to Make the
Sport More Interesting and Attractive.

Suggestions Regarding How to Make the
Sport More Interesting and Attractive.
There has probably been no branch of sport
that has been marked by so little improvement
in the art of playing as handball. Other past
times have been materially improved upon, but
handball stands where it did 100 years ago. The
progress made at the game during the past few
years, particularly in America has clearly
proved that there must be some radical
changes made in the rules if the sport is IN
tended to remain popular and remunerative.
As it 1t is played now by number or ex-
perts, severe service plays a conspicuous part
in the game. In other words, the man VINO
hits the ball the hardest and from the front
wall, so that the ball cannot be recovered, is
held to be a wonderful player. Game after
game is won in this fashion, and yet the best
authorities claim that 1t is scientific sport In
stances are frequent where man is capable
of winning the game on service alone, and yet
were the same man called uDon to hold his end
up in general play he would prove failure.
There is certainly no science in hard tossing.
but there is science in pretty returns, and to
know just exactly when your opponent is IN
a court and to keep the ball away from him,
using good generalship as much as hard NIT
ting.
IL is now proposed so as to do away with
greater part of the rather Objectionable hard
tossing to either place n line ON the front wall,
say four or five feet from the floor, and make
every man in tossing place the ball above the
line, or else compel the player to stand at the
ace line in serving. If players would only con-
vinced that it would not only improve the
standing of the game, but would give the pub
lie an opportunity of witnessing the sport IN all
its brilliancy--N Y. Sun,

THE ONLY SPECIALISTS

The cases of catarrh and dyspepsia treated
and cured by the physicians of the Catarrh ana
Dyspepsia Institute at 323 Penn avenue are
usually those of the most advanced stages. and
who have spent years of time and in many in
stances vast sums of money treating with
doctors and receiving no benefit until by some
friend. or in reading the papers, they learn of
the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, and that
others have been cured of diseases similar to
their own.
Have you been reading the cures that have
been published in your daily paper for the past
two years? Have you called on these patients,
whose address is always given, to satisfy your
self that these people really have been cured
whose testimonials have been published from
day to day? If not, do so. Investigate what
these physicians are capable of doing and then
call on them and they will frankly tell you what
they can do for you.
Do you know why they invite sharp criticism
ON their work? 1t is because they know what
diseases they can cure. and have no other way
to absolutely prove their success than by re-
ferring you to the hundreds whom they have
cured. Remember, these physicians are the
only specialists in Pittsburg in the true sense of
the term for the treatment and cure OF catarrh
and dyspepsia.
They have received an endless amount of
opposition from doctors, who are jealous of
the immense practice they have acquired dur
ing the past two years However: they have
located i'll Pittsburg for life. and VIII continue
to treat the diseases of their specially. The
crowds of intelligent people who daily assem-
BILE at the parlors of this medical institution
also prove the reputation of It's physicians In
curing disease
