A German chemist patented q
method for the isolation of the fibers of
wood go that they can be spun into yarns
capable of being woven. The wood is
first cut into thin stribs, which are re-
peatedly passed between roughened roll
ers, 80 that they are bent and cracked in
many places. After thorough treatment
in this manner the mass is finally chang
ed into q fibrous substance, the fibers
being very delicate and soft, and yet
strong. 1t is said that the material can
be spun like cotton, and takes colors very
well.

A Lovely Silk Rug.

One of the loveliest rugs ever saw was

man, of silk, not for utility but merely for
show. All the old ribbons and pieces of
light colored silk found in the family were
collected together and dyed in brilliant
colors with Diamond dyes, then cut into
strips half an inch wide and just four
inches long, after which they were knit
into strips by the use of coarse knitting
needles and coarse knitting cotton, a piece
of the silk being added every alternate
stitch, in just the manner our mothers
used 10 knit fringed mittens. The pieces
of silk were added in hit-and-miss order,
and the strips were knit in garter stitch.
Three strips six inches wide and three
fourths of yard long were used for cen
terpiece (after being sewed together on the
under side. Then a border six inches
wide, knit in the same manner from black
silk, surrounds the centerpiece; after this

ROUNDS the whole. The rug is mounted
upon heavy piece of carpeting. 1t is
highly admired by all who have seen it.

PILLOWS AND PILLOWS.

Sugge stions About Stufing Them-Au
Sorts of Pretty Covers.
In the days of fourteen necessary pillows
to divan, and the many window seats and
corners of our modern houses apparently
built 20 receive them, it is well to think Of
some variety in their make, says Harper's
Bazai, which offers some useful sugges-
tions, among them the following:
OF course the main expense of these pill
lows is in the stuffing, as the cover can be
made very effective in hundred inexpen-
slve ways. Many people are such vandals
as to cut up old holsters for this use, and
Others use the spare room pillows; if they
are square, all the better, making the
cover easy to slip off when the guest ar
rives and demands his pillow. There
seems nothing that can be used in place of
the expensive hair, feathers or down that
Is equ ally satisfactory, in spite of the sug-
gesteo subterfuges of fine cut rags, stripped
paper and excelsior.
A very pretty cover can be made of crash,
with the allover design of flowers or a
geometrical design worked in outline in
one ST AIDE of embroidery silk and a narrow
hemstitched edge all around the square
This can be laced with cord to a plain
back. hemstitched the same way, or the
edge can have eyelets and be laced or tied
together with small ribbon bows.
Again, a mere pillowcase can be made of
a figured silk hemstitched at one end and
tied i'll two or three places with ribbon to
close The end. This is good method for
the spare room pillow needed for other
use Oh occasion.
japanese cotton makes very pretty in
expensive cover, and with little work can
be made prettier by outlining the design
in filoselle, and the same can be done with
cretorne. When you come to more elabo-
rate ones, any amount of work in silk en-
broidery, ribbon embroidery, cord braidine
or drawn work for linen covers can be put
on to the small square of silk, wool or
linen.
A bit of oriental embroidery, four small
doilies patchworked together, designs ap-
piled on to silk and velvet can all be util-
lied. A design outlined in white silk on
linen suggests the thermometer at 80
dogs, and bears much washing. Bed
room pillows look well in chintz partic-
larly # there is some of it at windows and
doors of the room. In short, they are of
endless comfort everywhere, and pad out
the angles of our furniture, backs and
tempers

Useful Notes.

To prevent fruit juices from soaking
through the bottom of crusts of pies, first
moisten the crusts with the beaten white
of an egg before putting in the fruit.
The annoying black lead dust that arises
when polishing stove with ordinary stove
backing, may be prevented by adding a
pinch of powdered gum tragacanth to the
backing.
Be sure that the lamp chimney fits close
at the base or it will make side draft,
causing the blaze to be unsteady.
See that the lamp wicks are turned down
after trimming, else the lamps will be
red with oil.
Wien through ironing, wash the irons
thoroughly and keep them in a dry place
Nothing is SO costly in the end as cheap
carpet. 1t is impossible to risk, especially
for stairs and landings where there is much
traffic, anything that is not good.

THE MIrCHELL-wARD MURDER.

There is something SO much at vari-
ance with the usual causes of crime-so
unnatural-in the killing of Freda Ward
by Alice Mitchell that the press
and people of the country are
compelled to notice it. Two young
ladies who, by birth. education,
and social standing are removed from
the grosser elements of society. become
enamorcd OF each other. "Enamored,"
however, is hardly the word to express
the sentiment felt by each FOR the other
People of opposite sexes 'fall in love-
become cnamorcd or infatuated with
each other. The passion is natural and.
to use "A business word, is 'legitimate.'
But no word is yet coined which conveys
the full meaning of that passion which
unitcs two young girls 80 closely that
separation cannot be endured.
These girls promised to marry each
other: the engagement ring had been
passed from Miss Mitchell to Miss Ward,
and more than once clopements had been
planned and as often prevented by the
Intervention of parents and friends. Miss
Ward finally quarreled with her be
trothcd, and Miss Mitchell, unable long
err to endure the separation which fol
lowed. sought and embraced the oppor-
tunity to cut Miss Wards throat from
ear to ear. Was ever such a crime per
pctrated from such an unnatural cause?
The Mitchell girl is certainly insane
upon that n matter. No reasonable
explanation can be given for her unnat-
ural passion and act upon any other by
pothcsis. She and her companion stand
charged with murder in the first degree.
But we apprehend that no jury will he
found to convict Miss Mitchell of the
crime. The case of Miss Johnston stands
upon other grounds.

ASSERTIONS.

While the prices of nccessaries Of life
may be higher under the Mckinley bill
than they would be if democratic free
trade prevailed, yet the tendency of that
bill is to reduce the cost of such neces-
saries to the lowest possible extent con
sistent with good wages to working men
The above excerpt, clipped from the
Butte Inter Mountain. is n fair sample
Of the logic by which high protectionists
attempt to inject a little stiffness into
the b%ackbones Of the rapidly weakening
masses Of the republican party. That
paper now admits what it formerly de-
MED, that the prices of the necessaries of
life are higher under the Mckinley bill
than they would be under a lower tariff,
but consoles itself with the thought that
the tendency of the bill is to reduce
their cost consistent with good wages
for workingmen.
Now will the Inter Mountain or any
other republican journal cite one single
instance in the recent history Of Amerl-
can manufacturing or the history of any
American industry where the Mckinley
bill has added one cent to the wages of
the w~orkingmen Of the country? If it
cannot do it its assertion and conclusion
fall to the ground. On the other hand,
vital statistics show that over 300 Amer
lean manufacturing establishments have
been compelled to close down on account
of their inability to continue operations
protitably on account of the increased
cost of raw material under the present
tariff. And will that journal please men
ton a few necessaries whose cost has
been reduced through the tariff: The
tariff affects 5000 articles, and with tha
single exception Of sugar there is not one
among the whole number which is made
cheaper today by Mr.. Mckinley's meas
ure. If we are mistaken, will the Inter
Mountain please correct us?

SLIGHTLY OFF.

The horse-thieves have formed a trust
and are doing a lanu-oflice business in
Montana. Horses are stolen by the hun
dreds and by the carload and shipped to
Chicago for sale. A vigilance committee
has been organized, and soon the won
dcring tourist will see strange fruit grow
ing on the telegraph poles.
The above precious excerpt appears in
the editorial columns Of the Minneapo-
lis Evening Tribune of the LIST instant.
Brother Hamblin is slightly off in his
statement of the situation out here in
Montana. He doesn't seem to grasp it's
height, length, breadth, and depth. He
should understand that Montana con
tains 100000 square miles, and that no
N horse-thief trust can do justice to
that vast area of territory and maintain
the industry in all it's integrity. One
horse thief trust! Why, if there is one
there is a thousand. Mr.. Hamblin should
canvass the city of Minneapolis, and
take the names of its business men who
hold stock in the principal horse thief
trusts in Montana. The number may
surprise him.
"Horses are stolen by the hundreds
says the ~vcracious Tribune. Why not
say by the thousands and train loads:
Let MS have the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth in this matter. The
Tribune is AZ far of in its other state
ments. The organized vigilance com
mittces are only blinds. They are all in
poles they are already bearing a heavy
crop of Minneapolis newspaper liars
There are, however, m or two poles no
present. Brother Hamblin.
