A Pretty Table.

A work table, which was an original idea
with its maker and owner, will bear de-
scription and copying. The table founda-
ton was an oblong top piece with a broom
handle tripod, upon which it rested firmly.
These can be bought in any furniture store,
plain, gilded or white, for fifty or seventy
five cents. Over the top was fitted fiat
cover Of cream cretonne covered with
daisies A straight piece fourteen inches
in depth, sewed to the top piece on
every side was the foundation for a double
row of shirred on pockets of the cretonne
on three sides. The fourth side had only
one deep pocket for large pieces of work.
A bow of yellow ribbon finished one
corner, and to this was attached, by hang
ing narrow ribbons, scissors. emery and
needle book A small cushion for pins
stood on the top beside little lacquer tray
as temporary catch all for odd buttons,
spools in use, etc. An advantage of the
bag cover was that it was not fastened to
the table, but could be taken off, turned
inside out, shaken free of dust and restored
in a moment of time and with great ease.

wbv Trunks Had no,,d r,.ns

There are comparatively few round top
trunks made now. The idea was that
greater resisting power could be obtained
with least weight by initiating to some ex-
tent the shape of an egg, which, as we
know, will bear an absurdly great weight,
but unfortunately there was no guarantee
that the baggage smasher would always
stand the trunk the right way up. His
failure to do this gave numberless remind
ers of the fact that no box is stronger than
at It's weakest point, and the damaged
sides became very common. Now most
trunks are made with fiat tops, and are SO
strong al over that it is very difficult even
for an expert trunk smasher to break one.

Her life is life of devotion and care,
And she has halo about her hair.
Her care is for others and not for herself,
And naught she recks of profit or pelf;

All things she does from the splendid love
That comes to her here from Power above.

A Chicken That Catches Mice,

Onmy place, near Montemorilos, Mexico,
| have Plymouth Rock chickens One day
two of my children were crossing the field
about half mile from the house, when
they came across a mother partridge with
her young, which on sight of the children
began to hide in the woods. Noticing one
Of the brood hide in bunch of grass the
children concluded to capture it, and did,
but instead of a young partridge it turned
out to be a young Plymouth Rock chicken,
which by some means had been adopted
by the old mother partridge.
This chicken after being taken to the
house soon became tame, but has confined
it's diet to insects and similar food; but,
most wonderful of all, it has developed
into an extra good mouser, hardly day
passing that it does not catch at least one
mouse. 1t first commenced killing little
mice, until now it has no hesitancy in at
lacking and killing full grown mice,
which it pecks to pieces and eats.-Cor.

Fathers and Their Children.
So much has been said about the frivolty,
incompetence or business of American
mothers that it will not be amiss to inquire
into the characteristics of our fathers of
families. With the best intentions in the
world the time that city man can spend
with his family is usually very limited,
and he is not always in the mood to exert
helpful influence when he returns at
night worn out with business cares, and
often prefers the club, lodge or neighboring
corner to his family circle-his wife may
see little of him and his children less.
It is net matter of Indifference, how
ever, even in regard to health. whether the
children enjoy due proportion of their
fathers companionship, for that is or
should be a vital factor in the children's
growth and education, and whenever they
are deprived of it certain elements of char
acter and mind are almost always absent.
Look around among your friends where
the children have grown up without a ia
Their and see it your observation does not
show that there is some quality Of mind or
heart, some check or balance wanting, that
no one else could supply, Henry L. Taylor
in Popular Science Monthly.
