A pretty and novel pincushion is
made in small bolster form Of gray
canvass over stout unbleached muslin
stuffed with sand. a piece Of canvas,
five inches wide, is then worked with
conventional oriental design in
gobelin or tapestry stitch III soft
woods in low tones of color or IN full
rich tones, if preferred; this is sewe1
round the cushion in the middle. then
two bags of silk, OF satin, or velvet
are drawn, one on each end OF the
form up to meet the embroidery. \

is then tied and a handsome bow OF
ribbon sewed over it. The draw
strings are set an inch from the edge
of the bag to leave a frill This is
finished off with lace. A silk cord is
sewed to each end of the bag so as to
leave ends and tassels and q loop to
hang it up by.
Always mix your stove backing
with turpentine; you viii find thai but
little rubbing is required to make it
look black and glossy The turpen-
tine helps remove the rust, If any,
and the backing stays on much
longer.
One can make very useful and
pleasing wall ornament by buying an
ordinary thermometer mounted on lin
or wood, which will not cost more
than a quarter of Il dollar. Get a
plain one-inch thick pine board Z by
20 inches in size, paint the back and
edges a soft dark red, then cover the
front and sides with rich old-red
plush. Fasten the thermometer tc
this plush-covered panel by means ot
four small fancy~headed brass nails
first piercing the holes to receive
them. Screw in the top Of the panel
a brass screw-eye to hang it up by
Next procure variety Of fancy
headed brass tacks of different sizes
as reeefds the head, then drive then,
in carefully with a small hammer, fol
towing out some pre-arranged design,
which should be dotted on the plush
with little white paint, in order to
easier follow it out. Lastly, gid any
black tin portions of the thermome-
ter, and then it will be finished. There
come star-headed nails, heur-de-lis,
daisy, square, diamond and round
headed, in different sizes, admitting
of evry pleasing effects.
