notes are therefore furnished. Country houses in

take on an air of Chrstmas-tide by the aids of
wreaths and garlands. 10 work in the easiest man

may be, and have each kind of greenery in its own
box or basket, cut up in pieces of moderate and con-
yenient size In a separate box have your large
scissors, fine and heavy twines. A strong, heavy
cord, strained tightly. will make u foundation for
garlands; and the most graceful and pliable of the
hitter are best made of that trailing vine which is
called grOund-pine; at any rate, it is a creeping
plant of numerous short stems of evergreen
foliage, having, q fine resinons odor; and in

around ii, wind them with Irvine, lay on more and
wind again, and SO on to the end. For heavier gar
lands, hemlock sprays, sprigs of laurel and ends of
cedar are available.
GarIands should have loops of Irvine set among
the leaves at intervals to hang them up by. A
pretty way is to festoon these lengths from the
picture-rail around the walls, and then set a bunch
of bright red berries in the middle of each pendant
part or half-circle.

purchased i'll any quantity, ready-made: but one
must make them when one lives out OF town. The
lambs and lintels of sliding doors, and ordinary
doors, also the frames of windows, give points of
vantage for picturesque trimming. Texts over

For nm d, can Patrol.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Representative
Turner to-day introduced a preamble and
joint resolution for the better protection
Of human life on the Atlantic ocean. He
calls attention To the recent accident OF
the City of Paris, and says the rivalry be-
tween competing lines Of steamships is SO
keen that considerations for safety and
even humanity are often lost sight Of. He
holds that better protection can be at
forded by a system Of ocean patrol than
by any other means. Such system OF
ocean patrol must necessarily be main-
tanned by different nations. and instr'icts
the president To communicate with for
eign powers interested in transatlantic
travel with the view of securing their
cooperation in the establishment Of AN
efficient system of ocean patrol.

In Danger Of a Water Famine.

LOUISVILLE. April 1.-The work Of re-
licving the sufferers by the tornado il pro-
ceetling Systematically. Contributions
continue to be liberal. The work of re-
storing order I'm the devastated district is
progressing steadily. The work Of re-
moving debris ai the Falls City hall has
been abandoned. There are probably no
more bodies in the ruins. The chief
danger now is from water famine. Even
at reduced consumption only three days
supply Is left, and no immediate prospect
of more, owing To the wrecked condition
of the pumping works.
The sun came out bright this morning
and il has been shining all day. The
ruins dried of rag idly and the work Of
repairing the damage done 10y the tornado
has gone forward cns rgctically. Walls
are going up and roofs reappearing on
every hand. The work of relief is now
proceeding Systematically. The clearing
Of the streets entirely Of wrcckagc was
begun to-day. Temporary mechanism
has been constructed, by which IL il hoped
the water in the reservoir can be supplied.
Health officers fear "A great increase of
disease. as the result Of the lack of water
to flush out the sewer connections in ease
there should be "a water famine.
OF about eighty houses destroyed by the
tornado In JefTersonvillc, the owners Of
four-fifths OF them are poor people whose
little homes were their only possessions.
The homeless ones have been given shell
ter, but the situation over there is much
underestimated and help there il much
needed. In thi block between Market,
Front, Mulberry and Fort streets nearly
every home is ruined and most Of the In.
mates lost all except the clothing they
wore. Subscriptions for Jcticrsonyill,
