GIFTS FOR INVALIDS.
They Should be Bright and Appro-
priate-Eyer Welcome Flowers.

A very small thing of beauty that
will be a pleasant sight for an invalid's
eyes while it lasts is q carrot or sweet
potato followed out on the inside to
leave a wall about three-quarters OF
an inch thick. The vegetable is sus-
pended by cords passed through holes
pierced in the sides, and the cavity
filed with water. In a few days up
turning sprays of green will sprout
from the bottom and cover the out
side, and if a small bunch of violets IS
put in the little quaint hanging bas-
ket, it will have a charming appear
ance.
A pretty little thing to leave on a
sick friends table is n plant saucer,
with three pine cones standing up
right in the centre. The arrangement
Of sticks or hairpins, by which you
compel them to assume and maintain
an erect position, may be concealed
by a mat of real moss. There should
also be q layer of sand in the bottom
of the dish. Grain or grass seed should
be scattered over the cones, and If the
saucer is kept full of water the seeds
will sprout and show a beautiful ten
der green, in fine contrast to the rich
brown of the ones
1t is such a pleasure to watch green
things growing that eithet of these
simple gifts is an aid to pass the
weary hours. Even q finger bowl with
a thin layer of cotton sprinkied with
haxseed, which grows and lives for a
while on such nourishment as it
drains from the water beneath, is a
cheerful, pretty decoration for a sick
room.
For a friend who is too feeble to sit
at desk or table to write, it would be
a pleasant task to fit up a writing
tablet which can be used when one is
in a reclining position, and which
offers facilities for storing writing i'm
Elements. notes and the other ete8t-
eras that an invalid dislikes to be al
ways asking other people to procure
for her use.
The foundation is a seasoned pine
board twenty-five inches long by
twenty-one broad. This is covered
with felt, which upon three sides
hangs over the edge, and is supplied
with flat pockets TO hold letters. The
front of each pocket is cut into a
point, which buttons down to protect
the contents. Across each end OF the
board are straps and little super
imposed fat pockets to hold pens,
pencils, stamps, cards and envelopes.
or course these conveniences must
not invade the space needed for writ
ing. A leather covered travellers ink
stand, with a strong spring in the
cover to prevent the spllling OF ink,
can be firmly glued on one upper cor
ner and a pen tray and stamp box on
the other corner. A row OF brass
headed nails should be put all around
the edge of the board, and the straps
and pockets can be fastened on with
smaller brass nails. The valances
with the buttoned down pockets can
be folded over the top when the writ
ing board is not in use.--HaTper'S

" Dir. Barnes of New York" at the
Academy.
"Mr. Barnes Of New York; was the

usual line and has a novel plot, found
ed ON the Vendetta Nearly every one
has read the novel and enjoyed il, but
the story can be much better ap-
preciated and more thoroughly en-
loved when seen in a
play. The scenes are laid in Corsica,
Paris and Monte Carlo, the one in
Corsica being particularly good. The
express from Paris to Nice is the one
comedy part in the play, and here
ssMr. Barnes of New York; has a wide
scope in this line. Marina Paoli, the
Corsican girl who has taken
the oath Of the Vendetta,
was e~xcellently acted by Miss EN-
ily Rigl. who portrayed very
accurately and beautifully the i'm
petuous character of the Corsiean.
Mr.. Barnes of New York was cleverly
played Dy James vein anu luS SOuiN
Mufso Danella of Sheridan Block was
one of the best characters in the
drama. Efis Germon, who is always
popular, did the role of Lady Chartris
excellently. Maud, her young
daughter, played by Miss Annie
A. Blancke created all the fun OF the
evening. The rest of the company
was far better than the average, and
one of the best that has visited the
Academy this season. The play is
we'll set, and is altogether deeply in
teresting without being sensational.
1t will be at the Academy all the week
with the usual matinees.

Is not more than one little village

Poor and proud is an old, oft

it is startling to see with what absurd

that she has taken cold" and it has
struck into her internal organs in
some mysterious, hazy way. You
would not dare tell her, of course, but
it was the fit of rage that produced
the bilious attack. She flew off her
head entirely in a fury; her soul was
like a black boiling pool, casting up
poisonous slime from the bottom.
Her brain was in such a disordered
state that the nervous stimulus it or
dinarily sends to the nerves was all
dried up. Then the sympathetic
nerve and other nerve that control
the digestion could not work at all.
They were weak and flaccid; the
stomach could not work; the liver
could not act, and the silly woman
who flew into a rage has a fit of illness
or sick headache. Seer Well, If you

streets elegantly attired ladies, whose
attire three continents have been
levied on to complete, with cross,
withered, wizened, sour faces. The
clothing is a dream of beauty, the

The New Tax Bill.

The new tax commission bill is so
voluminous and contains so many
provisions that it would be rash to
pronounce any very confident judg-
ment on it without further examina-
tion hut it is possible to say at once
that it contains many admirable fea-
lures and effects several badly needed
reforms.
One of the most important of these
is the clause which forbids deduction
from assessments for any debts save
those of record. Probably the
wealthy swindlers who have
been in the habit Of ''swear-
ing Off their taxes year
after year will dislike the clause, and
they may organize an opposition in
the Republican party to the entire
bill on account of this provision; but
we believe the Democracy is solid on
this Issue and will hear of no compro-
mise.
Another clause which will excite the
opposition OF lfe MIllDudlEt IiAIuS
and of course of the Republican party
is the taxation of pipe lines. Doubt
less "A great lobby will gather TO OPP
pose this clause OF the bill, and when
the Republican leaders swell their
breasts and exclaim against this
Democratic scheme of-Heaven knows
what crime, embodied in the
bill. we shall know that the wire
pullers Of the Standard Oil Company
are at work. The clause regarding
the property of corporations will
doubtless be opposed by a similar
combination.
1t looks as if very strong elements OF
opposition would be arrayed against
the bill. But they are all of the selfish
monopoIistic kind. We do not see
how the dominant party a afford to
pay the slightest heed to them. Sc
far as the provisions placing corpora
tions on the same basis as individuals
are concerned, the bill is excellent and
should pass without change.
