PRETTY FANCY WORK.
How to Make Dahlia Tidy and n Gas
for Odds and Ends.

~
for Odds and Ends.
A very handsome tidy can be made q.
follows: Get IA yards of two-inch wide
ruby-colored sateen ribbon and "a yard!
of olive-green or any pretty contrasting
color; old-gold and blue, or orange and
peacock blue, would be good for con
trasts. Cut the ribbon into twelve-incf
lengths There will be five Of the one
shade and four Of the other. Sew each
piece together to form circle; turn in
quarter Of an inch and gather twice
drawing the centers almost together, moi
leaving an opening larger than ar
ordinary pencil. Sew a pretty silk cord
over these two gatherings. Join the
rosettes on the back, alternating tho
colors, and to fill the spaces between
them weave the cord from the opposite
points and fasten the threads in tn,
middle. Quite wide oriental lace is
slightly frilled on the edge and set well
back under the curved edges of the ros
cites. II properly made this is very
SNOWY, and requires but little time &c
put the whole together.
We have something here which will
be found extremely useful to those
working with crewels. The case is
made Of gray linen. For the foundation
you will require a piece measuring
eleven by twenty-five inches, and for
the pockets piece eleven by seventeen
inches. This Is curved on the ends and
bound with brown braid stitched with
yellow silk. A piece six and half
inches by seven Is hemmed across the
ends and stitched on one end Of it to
form the pockets for the crewels. 1t is
divided into seven compartments, with a
row Of stitching between them. For the
strap cut strip eight inches long and
one and half wide around the corners,
and bind 1t all around with the braid.
Cut an opening in the end of the founda-
ton Iiece for 1t to slip through, bind 1t,
and cut the corners slanting on this end.
Basic the piece for the pockets on and
bind 1t around. Fold the strap and
stitch 1t on. A piece OF wire bent in the
shape Of q hairpin Is used to draw the
crewels in place. This case is to be
ornamented with daisies, which should
be embroidered on before the case is
made up. They are done in crewels;
the daisies are worked in bright yellow
and the grass In shades Of green or
olive. Filoselle or cottons may be used.
Any pretty pattern may be used to dec
crate the case, or simply trace in out
line the word 'crewels. Cor. Ohio

A legend which might have been
scissored from the pages of Boccaccio,
except that it ends with moral, is
related by the Philadelphia Herald as
follows; "a certain young Spanish
friar, skillful painter, especially de-
lighted in devising new aspects of
blessedness and beauty for the Virgin
and in setting forth the devil in the
most repulsive and extravagant ugli-
ness. Satan bore this as best he could
for some time, but at last he determ-
ined to be revenged. He assumed the
disguise of most lovely maiden, and
the unhappy friar, being of an amor
Gus disposition, fell into the trap
She smiled sweetly on her shaven wo-
err, but would not surrender her beau.
ty at less price than the rich reli-
quaries and jewels of the treasury of
the monastery. In an evil hour the
poor painter admitted her at midnight
within the convent wall and she took
from the antique cabinet the precious
things she desired. Then, as they
wound their way through the moonlit
cloister, the sinful friar clutching his
booty with one arm and his beauty
with the other, the demon lady sud-
denly cried out Thieves J.! with dia-
bolical energy.
Up started all the snoring monks
and rushed in disorder from their cells
detecting the unlucky brother making
off with the plate. Him they tied
safe to pillar, leaving him there till
the next morning should determine
his punishment, while the brethren
went back to their pillows or their
prayers; and then the cruel devil APP
peared in his real shape to the poor
painter, taunting and INVITING him
and making unmerciful mockery of
his amorous overtures and his prayers
advising him now to appeal to the
beauty he had so loved to delineate in
his canvasses. The penitent monk
took the advice, and 10, the radiant
mother of mercy descended in all her
heavenly loveliness, unbound his cords
babe him fasten the evil one in his
place to the column and appear among
the monks the next morning at mat
ins, which he did, to the great surprise
of his brethren. He voted for his
own condemnation, but when they
went to the sacristy and found every
thing marvelously correct in its place,
and when they went to the column
and found the devil fast bound, they
forgave the erring brother and admin
istered tremendous fogging to the
devil. The monk became not only
"wiser and better man," but better
artist he was now able to paint the
Virgin more serenely beautiful, the
arch-enemy moro appallingly ugly
than ever"

CHICAGO ENTERPRISE.
Dime Museum Man Makes Fair One
to Dom Pedro.

Dime Museum Man Makes Fair Offer
to Dom Pedro.
The manager of dime museum In
Chicago has addressed the following let
ter to Emperor Dom Pedro:
my DEAR SIR: First, let me say that
sympathize with you in your misfort-
une. When man loses good situs-
ton he is indeed in hard luck, but In
this lifo there is compensation for
nearly every misfortune. Now have a
proposition to make. Winter Is coming
on, and the barons will soon begin to
tamper with tho price of coal. don't
know how the weather is down your
way, but--well, we'll let that pass and
come at once to the proposition. It is
this: want your throne. Now, don't
say it doesn't belong to you, for surely
the republicans, though they may be
ever so revolutionary, would not deprive
man OF his private property. II you
will bring that throne to Chicago I'll
guarantee that in short time you will
make money enough, not only to make
a European tour, but TO settle down
somewhere and let the wide world wag
as 1t will.
"You need not stay In the museum.
All ] want you to do Is TO bring the
throne here and assure our patrons,
many of whom are skeptical, that 1t is
the genuine article. This will put you
to no trouble whatever. Please let me
hear from you at your earliest convent
ence. know that your household affairs
are now in an unsettled state, and hope
that you will excuse me IL 1 am crowd
ing the mourners, but the fact is, II q
man In this town wants any thing he
must shout. Many years Of experience
in the dime museum business teaches
me that IL a man wants any thing he
must hustle. And now final request:
Please do not consider any proposition
made by other Observation-Disclosures
Traveller.

from danger His violence and his rapid
retreat, and this journey upon the river,
leading TO the west and away from the
white settlement, could to her mind
mean only that he was carrying them
away into that wretched captivity which
she knew that more than one woman
and child had suffered at tho hands of
savages.
Brave woman though she was she
gave herself up to despair.
All that day the canoe sped rapidly
down stream, keeping as close under the
bank as possible, and 1t was not until
after shutdown that John landed and got
his captivcs out upon the bank where
they could rest their crampcd limbs.
He then undid a roll of blankets and got
out some dried meat, which he offered
to Mrs. Streeter, motioning that the
papoose could feed her. The woman
could not eat, but by coaxing induced
the tired and hungry little girl to swal-
low few scraps Of the raw, tasteless
venison.
After time the Indian united Mrs
Streeter's hands, being careful to keep
between her and his gun. Then he mo-
toned to the blankets.
''Squaw make um bed" said he, cheap
Sleep"
Glad Of so much freedom and chance
to rest and to comfort her child, Mrs.
Streeter made rough couch, took Elsie
In her arms, and lay down upon 1t. The
little girl was soon asleep, but the
mother lay narrowly watching the In
dian, waiting for chance to escape II
he should drop asleep or relax his guard
In any way.
She got no opportunity, however;
John sat near at hand, leaning against
tree, stiff and upright, with his gun
across his legs. After about two hours
of rest he ordered her to get up again
and get into the boat, telling her 10
take papoose."
She carried the sleeping child down
the bank, and while the Indian steadied
the canoe ct the stern, got in at the bow.

The above is very good likeness of one
of Wichita's oldest and most respected citi-
zens, Mr.. j. r. Turner, of No. 1905 Roches-
ter avenue
Mr.. Turner makes the following state
ment: For five years | was troubled with
nervous prOstration, was so weak that ]
could not walk a block, was reduced almost
TO skeleton and had given up all hope of
being cured. As l had been treated by a
great many doctors, had visited all the
leading watering places, including Hot
Springs three different times and Eureka
Springs, without relief All of which cost
me several thousand dollars
Last fall friend induced me to try DR.
Terrell; he gave me medicine and electrical
treatment. AT the end of three weeks l
was so much improved that ISould walk
from my home to the business part of the
city and return, distance of three miles,
without fatigue. At the end Of four weeks
l was entirely cured. l attribute my re-
markable cure to the scientific use of cleo
tricity as applied by DR.. Terrill. | can be
found at my address given above and will
be glad to answer any questions regarding
my case and the treatment of DR. Terrill

Electricity has stepped in mercifully
to alleviate the miseries of the early riser
on dark winter mornings. An arrange
ment has been devised 10y which a con
nection is made between the room clock
and the stove. The clock Indicator is set
over night to any required hour, and
when the hour hand reaches that time
in the morning an electric connection Is
established with the stove, which is then
lighted by an electric spark. The sleeper
in the mean time is not disturbed. AS
the temperature of the room rises, how
ever, it is indicated by a small thermo-
stat, and when it has reached a point of
summerlike comfort an alarm is sounded.
The sleeper, of course, is awakened, but
the act of jumping out of bed has now
no terrors for him, and the morning
additions are performed without a shud-
der.-New York Sun.

Is the test of tortitude among the Indian
tribes. But we defy any Cherokee, Sioux
or Comauche to endure the twinges OF
rheumatism without w%incing. These, in
deed, are slightlat first, but grow in in
tensity until they become unbearable. No
mnlady is more obstinate in its maturity
than that which gives rise 10 them. The
more need, then, of attacking it at the
outset. Foremost among remedies Tor ii
is Hostetter's Stomach BIuers, safer and
infinitely more effective han culchicum,
veratrum and nuX vomica, all remedies
which might prove destructive Of life in a
single excessive dose. Mineral depurents
also, when not positively mischievous, are
far inferior in remedial power to this salu-
tary botanic medicine. 1t entirely expels
from the blood the acrId impurities which
originate the disease. and enriches as well
as cleanses it. Constipation, liver COM

give way to it.

A remarkable instance of the atmos
pheric effect known as mirage was wit
messed at Ashland, o., on March -. II
appeared about 4 o'clock in the western
heavens, and was a clear and well de
fined picture of a city, with all its build
ings so distinctly visible that their differ
ent styles could be easily distinguished
Owing to the great distance of the object:
thus reflected, however, the steeples OF
the churches and the walls of the houses
were slightly inclined. The image was.
of course, inverted, but was life sized
for the reflection enormously magnitied
the picture, though leaving it exquisitely
sharp, thus causing it to present a re.
markedly realistic appearance of a large
and populous city suspended in the air,
or falling through it, for an amazing
feature of the phenomena was that,
while the city itself was so clearly de
fined, there was no reflection whatever
of the ground on which it stood.-Phila-
delphia Times.
