Comfortables.

Until seventeen years ago bed quilts, or
comfortables, as they were called, were
made with the old quilting frame and the
sewing machine for home use, but now the
machine-made articles are so cheap that
few housewives make them by hand.
About 5000, 900 machine-made quilts are
sold annually the prices ranging from a
silk and down. The fabrics are printed
specially for the purpose, on veiy wide
cloth. Prints are used largely, but sateens

HAMMOCK RIDERS.
oueer Ways of Travelling I'm the Madeira
Islands.

Islands.
Funchal, the capital of Madeira,
stretches for nearly a mile along the
shore, a number of the smaller streets
and lanes extending up the steep slope
and the hill behind. The streets were
formerly very dirty, but since the open
cutters have been nearly all carried I'M
der ground, they have been rendered
very clean, and are also well paved.
The houses of the lower classes sell
dom exceed one story in height, but are
well kept as regards the exterior, being
neatly whitewashed, while the resi-
dences of the wealthy are large, hand
some buildings.
The favorite mode of travelling in
MADEIRA is in hammocks, although
horses and small open carriages with
their attendant arrieiros, can be hired
in 'F'unchal at any time. Sledges, OF
carrinhos are used on the steep Mount
Road above Funchal. They are like 8
low armchair, made of wickerwork,
padded and cushioned, with a platform
for the feet, and set on wooden runners.
The car is impeled by one or two men,
according to its size, and guided with
strong throngs of hide. The sensation
of rushing down the incline from 9, OOO
feet above the sea in about three min
utes is most enjoyable, and it is very
rarely that any accident happens.
The costume of the peasantry is pict-
uresque, and consists of an embroidered
bodice, the white chemisette, collar and
short sleeves, being fastened with gold
link buttons, finely worked; of striped
petticoat, closely woven in bright col
ors, and a blue or, scarlet baize cape
with scalloped falling collar, bound with
a contrasting color-the number and
shape of the scallops varying in the diff
ferent parishes. The peculiar pointed
cap is worn by both sexes.-N. Y. Jour

OF the value of extensive and judicious ad-
vertsing of any article of undoubted merit
is found in the remarkable success of the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., which has been
phenomenal, even in this age of great enter
prises.

ure laxative with original and attractive
features, prepared from delicious fruits and
health giving plants, one which would be
pleasant and refreshing to the taste, as well
as really beneficial to the system, the man.
agement very wisely concluded to select the
leading newspapers throughout the United
States TO make known to the public the
merits of the new remedy, Syrup of Figs.
As happens with every valuable remedy,
cheap substitutes are being offered, but it is
becoming more difficult each day to impose
on the public. Health is too important to be
trifed with, and reputable druggists will
not attempt to deceive, as they all know
that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the

Some of the Qualities That Endear Her tC

There is type of girl that every body
likes. Nobody can tell exactly why
but after you have met her you turr
away to some other woman and say
Don't you like Miss Grosvenor?" Now
the reason you like her is subtle one
without knowing all about her, you fee
just the sort of girl she is.
She is the girl who is not too bright
and good to be able to find joy and
pleasure all over the world.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she can not always have the
first choice of every thing in the world
She is the girl who is not aggressive
and does not find JOY in melting ag.
gressive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that will cause
the skeleton in her friends closet tc
rattle its bones.
She is the girl who, whether it is
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds nc
fault with the weather.
She is the girl who, when you invite
her any place, compliments you by look
ing her best
She is the girl who is sweet and WON
anly to look at and listen to, and who
doesn't strike you as poor imitation OF
a demi-mondaine.
She is the girl who makes this world
a pleasant place because she is SO pleas
ant herself.
And, by the by, when you come to
think of it, isn't she the girl who makes
you feel she likes you and, therefore.
you like her?-Chicago Journal

Women Are AS Fond of It as Men, hut

The number of fashionable women
who have resolved themselves into little
clubs for the enjoyment and iniquities
of poker playing is something calculat-
ed to fend with woe and distress the
heart of the censorious reformer.
know personally of round dozen Of
such little coteries and of nearly as
many more where both men and women
do congregate, writes a correspondent.
Our National game, for undeniably
poker is that, grows daily in popularity,
and at some of these '1adies' poker
clubs startlingly large sums are lost
and won.
These little gatherings always take
place at the private residence of one of
the members, and there are no bylaws
nor constitutions attached. In all of the
well-regulated ones, however, two strin-
gent rules hold sway, and they are:
Thou shalt not borrow" and Thou
shalt pay up at the time" The settle
ments may be made in cash or by check,
and anent the latter funny little story
was told last winter. Mrs. B. lost S1O6
to Mrs. H., and gave her check for the
amount. 1t occurred to Mrs. BIS hus-
band to look over his wife's returned
checks one day, and there he saw this
check, which had been duly cashed.
When he amazedly asked Mrs. b. the
why. aud wherefore, she. in an UMPIRE
pared and unguarded moment, said she
had loaned the money to Mrs. H., for
she would not for the world have her
indulgent husband know that she was
guilty of the very fault for which she
took him so severely to task.
Not long afterward Mr.. III. and Mr..
B., who were Wall street opponents,
had a nasty little row, and Mr.. b.
tainted Mr.. III. (who really is a misery
fellow with keeping Mrs. Fl. so ''short"
on pin money that she was forced to
borrow money from a woman friend,
money she could never repay. AS a
consequence of this accusation the
whole affair transpired, and even the
tcrrid heats of last summer were not
ardent enough to thaw out-the general

worthy quartet. If / should write

women who give to some feminine
