MY LittIe Kitten SNOWFALL.

1t is said that white cats are deaf. 1t
seems strange that their want of color
should produce absence of hearing, as
other white animals, such as rabbits or
white mice, do not appear to be deaf, and |
can scarcely believe it is so in all cases.
But my little white kitten, SNOWFALL, is
stone deaf. She looked so quick and intel
ligent with her bright blue eyes that |
was surprised when / found that could
not attract her attention by calling her: so
took up a large book and dropped it on
the floor close beside her. The book feli
with bang which would have made most
kittens jump a foot high into the air, but
she stood quietly gazing into vacancy.
l next tried spinning a large top beside
her. She took no notice Of the noise it
made, but, happening to look round, she
saw the strange object spinning there all
by itself; her curiosity was was excited,
and approaching it cautiously, she shifted
at 1t, but could not make anything of it.
She touched it gently, but suddenly she
started back, shaking her paw. Deter
mined to find out what it was, she went
nearer, and smiling too closely it grazed
her little pink nose; she would not come
near it again, but sat down at a distance
to watch it, rubbing her nose with her
paw. As the top died out, and rolled
toward her along the floor, she appeared
! to think that it was running after her and
she made off altogether.
So, whether it is true or not that all
| white cats are deaf, SNOWFALL certainly is.

A white polka dotted enamel bow
trimmed with gold is the most chic fasten-

Hitherto leopard skins have only been

cloaks.
Ruby spirals and garnets set in squares
and conferred with gold are used as queen
chains.
The new laces for millinery have morsels
of colored felt introduced to complete the
pattern.

Silks and Satina.

1t is announced that silk is once more to
be generally worn. In Paris most of the
gowns are either made Of it entirely, or Of
silk combined with wooden, 1t is fourteen
years since silk has been universally worn.
Though we are adopting bright colors, we
have by no means turned our backs on
black, and some of the newest and pretti-
est silks of the season have black grounds
with brocaded flowers. Many Of the black
grounds appear shot with the color en-
ployed in the brocades. Some of the more
important stripes are intended to be intro.
duced with plain silk or wool, as petticoats
visible at the side, and as trimmings for che
bodices.
Bengaline has quite taken the place of
faille, the newest has thick and decided
cord, and has been brought out under the
name OF Tyrolienne. Satin remains the
most fashionable fabric for wedding gowns.

An Elderly nelle,s ADVICE.

An elderly Frenchwoman, who has been
a belle for seventy years and is still fair to
look upon, has written book of counsels
to the young, which all Paris is reading
just now. "Do not sleep too long or too
little" writes this oracle. when you are
going to be up late at a ball try to sleep
for an hour or SO during the afternoon.
On returning from the ball jump into Il
really hot bath, and remain just moment;
Immediately get into a hot sheet and be
rubbed down with bath towel. Drink a
cup of bouillon, small glass Of strength
ening wine, and sleep until 10 the next
morning. Immediately on waking be
sponged with cold water and have a cup of
hot coffee and slice of unbuttered toast
for breakfast. Wear a narrow piece of
flannel from the nape Of the neck down
the length of the spine, tied in front with
ribbons, to ward off colds and phthisis.
Give yourself over to one days complete
rest every week or ten days"

"He was very wicked" said Nino. "Oh,

Grandmamm2 continued: But while he

mo, there will be no cherries there; the
cherries will have been eaten before they
were ripe by ugly worms. If Robin had
left the little birds in their nest the little
birds would have become large and would
have eaten all the ugly worms, which
would thus not have been able to devour
the cherries. But nobody now will hinder
the worms from eating the nice red cher
ries which Robin is so fond Of"

But it was too late when Robin put
the birds back in their nest they were

Everybody familiar with the lathe
knows that q very long turning can be
taken from piece of wood or metal. In
this way, tells Iron, casks are now pro-
duced direct from the tree--that is, with
| out the wood having to be cut up in nu-
merous staves the cask being formed Of n
| single stave. In this system the tree stem
is first sawn into lengths to suit the length
| of cask to be made, and these lengths are
boiled for about three hours in q closed
vessel, which renders the wood soft. A
| current Of electricity is passed through the
water during the boiling process. The log
| is taken from the boiler to the cutting ma
| chine, in which it is fixed as in lathe
and brought up against long, broad cut
| ting blade.
The log is revolved, the knife automatic.

ter of barrel required. The lengths are
then taken to a growing machine, where
they are grooved near the edges for receiv.
ing the head and bottom Of the cask. The
wood is then put into another machine,
which cuts long narrow V pieces or gussets
out of the edges at intervals, which give
the necessary double taper to the cask. The
| sheets of wood are then formed up into a
| cylinder and the first two hoops are driven
| on by the machine. There is thus only one
stave in the cask, and consequently only

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
A Few Suggestions About New and Pop
ular VIKINGS In Fancy Work.

A Few Suggestions About New and Pop
ular Things In Fancy Work.
II is early to talk of Christmas gifts, but
for those whose purses are not long and
whose presents have to be thought out and
made by willing fingers it is not too soon
to begin preparations. Many pretty and
ornamental knickknacks can be made IL one
begins in time. Something quite new is q
| photograph frame made as follows: Take
three-quarters of n yard Of heavy, hand
some 5.inch ribbon and fringe out about
four inches on each end. Take thirty ordi
nary brass curtain rings and cover by
crochetting around them in silk, matching
the ribbon in color, at the same time Join.
| ing the rings SO rs to form frame the
size of cabinet photograph. The frame
will be six rings wide and seven in length,
with an extra row of four rings Just above
the bottom row. Tack this frame to one
end Of the ribbon, slipping in the photo
| graph before tacking down tic top of the
frame Cover one large ring with crochet
ting, slip the ribbon through this and sus-
pend against the wall by means Of this
ring and hook or tack, taking care to
make the picture end hang fat against the
wall.
| Another pretty thing that has come up
|
mented with brass rings covered with
crochet work A handsome and service
able bag is made Of desired size in dark
red plush and lined with old gold satin
! A sufficient number Of rings are crochetted
| over in silk to match the lining Of the bag.
| A row of these, the width Of the bottom Of
the bag, is sewed on, and above them an
other row. Then FIVE rings are sewed on
and one missed, and so on across the bag,
| and above these q row consisting of three
rings sewed onto each Of the five and three
rings missed between each group, and so
| on to form points, the last row having one
ring on each point.
There is n great fashion Just now for
bags, and workbags are frequently made
of purse shape, and strips Of alternate
silk and velvet may be used, with n tassel
at each end The old model known as a
stocking bag, circular case around which
Is row of pockets, the center closing with
a ribbon OF string, is always useful.
Useful little cases for string balls are
made in velvet, four points meeting over
the ball in the center, like the petals of a
flower.
Very fashionable work is now done
either with colored threads on white linen,
or white thread on colored linen. OF the
former class are the charming little white
linen Tides edged with lace, with deep
drawn border and sprays of flowers, en-
broidered in gold and white thread. These
are always elegant in appearance and
wash admirably. A key pattern in drawn
work upon linen makes a pretty table
| center.

A very unique and tasteful fad now pre-
walls, viz, the engagement cup and saucer.
1t consists in the presentation of dainty
after dinner coffee or afternoon tea of the
finest china to young ladies whose engage
ments are announced.
The daintiest specimens in spoons have
handles of filigree. Occasionally these are
touched with colored enamels, and the
shapes are most interesting. One has a
swans neck handle attached to deep bowl.
The curved termination is filed with fill
gree. Other spoons are more like shovels
in shape.
In fancy spoons perforated bowls have
succeeded perforated handles. These spoons
retain the form of the teaspoon, but are in
tended for olives. Some of the larger spoons
have the bowls formed of spray of silver
rose leaves. The leaves are admirably
adapted for the purpose
Silver, gilt and Russian enamel prevail.
In the latter articles, the Moscovite craze
that is occupying the attention of Euro
pean jewelers. to so great a degree seems
to have worked great influence.

why We May Have IL In Winter, or Far
Away from MaIarIc-s District.
DR. Bray, Of Canada, in paper on "Ma.
laria," recently expressed tue opinion that
the disease is due TO micro organisms in
the blood, which are taken into the sys.
tenn, either by the respiratory or the di-
gestive tracts, and three things are neces-
sary for the production of these organisms,
namely: Heat, moisture, and vegetable
decomposition. Their presence in the ali
mentary tract gives rise to dysentery,
which can only be Dured by clearing out
the intestines and giving quinine. The re.
ply to the question why we have It in win
ter when the decomposition of vegetation
is arrested, Is that there is supply Of the
microbe organism stored up in the earth
and drinking water, and even in the hu-
man body. In accordance with the law Of
all germs, they may remain quiescent as
long as the constitution of their host is
vigorous, but rapidly develop when the
system Is yun down. This also explains
why people may develop an attack Of ma
laria thousands of miles away from a ma
larious district. Sudden changes of TEN.
perature favor an attack. He endeavored
to explain the various types, such as quar-
tan, tertian, ETC., by the strength Of the
virus, which varied according to the age
Of the virus and the time Of the year. Ma
laria has tendency TO become milder as
lands are drained and cultivated and
the forests cut down. lie denied the ex.
istence Of such disease as typho-malaria,
but said there was nothing to prevent a
coincidence of the two diseases.

1t is climber, and the flowers hung from
the roof over sugar cane in the house
where the great water lily (Victoria regia)
Is grown. The famn. Of plants TO which
it belongs is n widespread one, an example
though rare one, being found in our own
Birthwort, which grows upon ruins ana
old walls.
Besides the use which its common English
name suggests, this species of plant has
undoubted medical properties. Thus it is
much used in India for the cure of snake
bites, acting as it does in preventing the
coagulation of the blood. which is one Of
the peculiar symptoms of blood poisoning

ALONE.

Alone we tread life's devious pathways, sent
We know not whence, across our toilsome way.
Folded around in mists, uncertain, gray,
Shadows Of hope and fear together blent.
Anon, the dull thick clouds apart are rent,
Love wakens. and makes glad the passing
hours;
The way leads onward DER up-sprlnging flow
ers,
And past brooks murm'ring OF a sweet content.
Yet, as we clasp and think this joy our own,
Il fades--again In solitude we stand,
Watching the light wane DER darkening
land;
The winds sob round US with wailing moan;
When, all unlocked for, with a grim. firm
hand,
Death opos the gate. and we pass out-elone,

THE NEST IN THE CHERRY TREE.
Story Told by GEandmamma to Nino
and His Sister BELLA.

Story Told by GEandmamma to Nino
and His Sister Bella.
"Grandmamma, please tell us a story"
said Nino. IL am very willing to-" said
grandmamma, "for you have both been
very good" So Nino sat down, while his
sister Bella stood up beside him, Just as
you see them in the picture; they looked
very attentive, waiting to hear grand
mammals story, for grandmamma knew
80 many pretty storiesl She began:
Once upon time there was little boy
named Robin. One day he saw in the
garden, in the cherry tree pretty birds
nest; in it were six little birds whose little
heads were still all bare and their bodies
as yet covered only with light down.
When they saw Robin they were afraid
and opened their beaks wide chirping TO
their papa and mamma to come out and
protect them. Robin instead Of having
pity upon them, began to laugh and car
ried away the poor little birds.
