nyroyal and use around the places infested
by these pests.
Hundred pound flour sacks may be made

SHOES for Evening Wear.

Gold and silver kid shoes are a great deal
worn, indeed, the supply of this special kid
Is hardly equal TO the demand Many
jewels are introduced into the embroider-
les, AMI occasionally the whole ornamental
ton is composed of gems. Velvet is coming
in for shoes, especially for bridesmaids, but
they require paste buckles. Bronze shoes
have returned to favor, and sometimes
these are checked all over with very narrow
ribbon.
With white dresses tan colored shoes
with pointed toes and tiny buckles on the
instep are much worn. Any great orna
menta ion on shoes is now out of date, but
they are often made of gold and silver bro
cades and exquisite materials: and most OF
our leading shoemakers can make up pieces
to mach the dress into shoes. \ few OF
the new shoes are richly embroidered in
the col1rS of the brocades; the bows, If any,
are exceedingly small. One novelty is a
large neshed gold net applique all over the
shoes On TO satin. The high Louis XIV heels
are mt ch worn.

HarrisOn's ManipuialiOns.

St. Louis Republic:
For more than a month past readers OF
the Republic have had reason to expect
John W. Mobiles esrly retirement from
the cabinet and there is little doubt now
that Mr.. HARRISON will soon get rid OF
him by giving him place as = circuit
judge. Mr.. Noble will hardly fail to &C.
cept this, as it provides for him perma-
nently, while if he remained in the cabi-
net he would have to begin in earning bis
living again in comparatively short
time. The arrangement will be espec-
tally agreeable to Mr.. Harrison. who ex.
poets every member of his cabinet to
give him at least one state delega-
tion in the national republican
convention. Poor Noble would
do 1t if he could, but he couldn't
deliver the Eighteenth ward, the ward he
used to live in in 81. LOUIS before Mr.
Harrison took him up as q remarkable
discovery. He and Mr.. Harrison are
both grievously disappointed in each
other and with very good reason. But
in this mutual disappointment the Re
publics sympathies are with Mr.. Noble.
Though a lamentable failure as secretary
of the interior. his failure is largely due
to the fact that he was not as small in
that Office as Mr.. Harrison has been in
the presidency.
With MI Noble out of the way, and in
his place "a hustler" like Hon. Calico
Charles Foster. secretary of the treasury,
Mr. Harrison will feel stronger. He Will
submit to Boss Platt and seek an alliance
with Boss Clarkson. 1t is not beyond
the range OF possibility that he will offer
Clarkson Mobiles place in the cabinet In
some way or other he will overcome the
opposition OF the bosses and 90 into the
convention with their backing
There be will meet and wrtstle with a
republican superstition that it is bad luck
to renominate small man for u large
Office. According 10 this superstition
only very great man can be elected
president to succeed himself Nobody
believes that Mr. Harrison Is very great
man. and thousands believe in this super.
stition. And il is our belief that it will
beat him if he trades for the backing OF
every boss in the country.

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENTS,
Fancy Candlesticks Festooned with Flow
ers-A Pink Crepe Shade.

Fancy Candlesticks Festooned with Flow
ers-A Pink Crepe Shade.
Fancy candlesticks or lamps, festooned
with violets, roses or sprays of lilac tied
with satin ribbon, is the latest fashion in
table decoration, which is capable of in
finite variation, being governed by the host
ess' individual taste.
A table decorated in good form is poetic
confusion of porcelain figures and flowers.
At the ends and in the center stand rare
vases filled with exotic blooms. A little
hammock woven of gold tinsel cord, sus-
pended over the center of the table, and
filled with fruit and flowers artistically ar
ranged, has pretty effect. Decorator and
Furnisher, which is authority for the fore
going, tells also of a pretty way to make an
inexpensive lamp shade. Take pink cheese
cloth, wet 1t thoroughly, and then, after it
has been doubled several times, twist it
until it doubles itself up in knot Secure
ii from untwisting, and wipe it dry with a
towel and put it away to dry. 1t will take
about ten days to dry it Thoroughly, dur
ing which time it should not be disturbed.
On unrolling the cloth it will be found
beautifully creped, and lamp shade can
be made in the same way as tissue paper,
by simply cutting hole for the chimney
in the center of the cloth. The top should
be arranged with a high ruching, and a
shade fastening il. \ fringe of soft lace
makes a beautiful trimming, and the ruche
at the top is also improved by lace edging.
