How to Mend Lace.

The mending of lace is an art of itself. and many professional mend CTS, who are usually French or Ger man, earn handsome ivings working at this dainty task. A knowledge of lace stitchery is necessary in mend ing handsome lace. If an ordinary piece tears, mend it with lace thread, which comes in small. soft balls at five to ten cents, initiating the groundwork mesh to the best of your ability. Before taking stitch baste the lace on piece of embroidery. leather or stiff paper, otherwise it will be drawn out of shape and dis torted by puckers. In pulling out the basting threads after alarming a tear, be careful to clip the threads into short lengths. Emma M. Hoop CT in Ladies Home Journal.

TALE OF A TWO TAILED CALF.


 Likewise of . Hand Organ, q Farmer. .
 Partner and Tricks That Are Vain.
 Justice Joyce had case between warning and impecunious museum managers" the other morning. Sev- sral months ago John Smith, Ger n,er fa,-nAr fnrtv-five vears of age. living near Fredonia, Kan, had calf born on his farm that was some thing of curiosity. It had two heads, four eyes, four ears, two tails md seven legs. This monstrosity lived only few minutes, and was of no great value as part of a herd.
 But John Smith had another idea He had always been content to be a hard working farmer, but with the birth of the phenomenon he saw wis ions of riches pouring in untoiled for. So he got a Fredonia man to soak his calf in alcohol for three weeks and then he started out to show the American people the most wonderful animal ever born in Kansas. He toured the fairs and made right smart, he says, and finally got into Kansas City and propped his dead calf up in Main street fake" show.
 There he met William Davis, who is snowman of the ten cent order, but who was just then broke" and made a living standing at the door of the Main street show selling tickets and calling out the attractions. Mr. Davis could also do few tricks, ard the two men decided to take the calf and the tricks and unite them into one stupendous, magnificent mu- scum. They opened on West Seven teenth street. A friend was sta toned at the door to proclaim the wonders within and accept silver of ferings from those who entered while MT. Davis performed his tricks and Mir. Smith showed the calf
 The first day business was pros porous. The gate receipts were $1. 95, but the second day visitors were few. Then the proprietors put their heads together and decided that the lack of music was what hindered their show from rivaling Barnum's. So Mfr Smith went uptown and bought a hand organ, giving two dollars and two watches for it. Contracts were entered into with neighborhood small boys to turn the crank and the show proceeded. But it did not flourish No one came. Then Mr. Davis sent MT. Smith off to get colored quar- tet of singers, which rumor said could be had cheap, and while the Kansas snowman was gone Mr. Davis closed the show and made off with most of the goods, including the hand organ.
 Mr. Smith had his partner arrested for stealing. Justice Joyce thought MT. Davis showed an unseemly haste in taking away the organ without explaining matters to his partner, and so fined him twenty-five dollars and costs MT. Smith has shipped his four eyed, four cared, two tailed, double headed, seven legged calf home and will quit the show busi- ness.-Kansas City Star,

A lame and half starved old white horse, attached to wagon partly loaded with ashes, stood on John R. street, near Adams, and a schoolboy about ten years old stood with his hands in his pockets looking at the horse. The owner of the rig came out of the cellar with a basket of ashes on his shoulder, and after dumping them into the wagon he turned to the boy and said:
 Look yere, boy, what yo' doin yere"
 "Lookin," was the reply.
 What you lookin atf"
 "Lookin at the horse"
 "Wall, you run right Tong bout your bizness. Dat hoss has got feelins.

 The trial of the assault case of Enos Fiukle and Frank Dewitt, who were arrested last week just before we went to press, took place on Thursday eve ming. The Majesty of the Law, in the person of Justice Bennett, was enthron- ed in the humble and fragrant precincts of livery stable, to wit: in the harness room; the taste of the people of Canaan i, very severe as regards the merely ex- ternal incidents of the administration of justice. A large crowd was present, who bore the inconvenience of the cramped court room with perfect good humor and frankly greeted everything which affected it's risables with hearty laughter. The air was pervaded with dense cloud of the fragrant and stim- ulating weed, but this did not avail any more than the plausible explanations of the defendants to obscure from the clear headed Justice the true view of the case, as being one of an undue yielding to a pugnacious instinct. So Frank Dewitt and "Fighting" Finkle started at once for the county seat, in charge of Constable Drake. srriving there at m. in time to begin Upright and early" the work of earning S19 96 in DeWitt's case aud $25 in Finkle's.

The Man Who Had an Object in Life.

The Man Who Had an Object in Life.
 He was born of poor but otherwise un- objectionable parents, who impressed upon his mind while it was yet in 8 plastic and doughy state the importance of having an object in life. aT :.
 He was a studious boy. He began wear. ing spectacles at an early age, and never wasted any oi the precious hours in playing bull pen, humble peg, shinny or any of the rude games that thoughtless boys delight in, and his teacher at school was ac customed to point him out to the other children as a model.
 In consequence of which the other chil. dren all hated him and said he was molly. coddle and a sweet little gosling with a glass eye. &#a A# #Ar e&
 But he was truly good boy. He did not mind what they said. He smiled at them with gentle, winning smile, and went op being good. He did not chew gum and re fused to associate with boys who chewed tobacco on the sly or played hockey.
 As he grew to manhood he cast about him for an object in life. ,..-
 He found one.
 Henceforth he devoted his energies to that one object He kept it steadily befors him.
 It was not riches he sought. The pur suit of wealth for its own sake was de grading in his eyes, and whatever of world. ly prosperity came to him was made sub servient to his one great object In life.
 He pursued not the elusive phantom oi fame. The filthy cesspool of politics had no charms for him, and the empty honors that await the man who enters the army or navy did not tempt him.
 Neither did be waste his powers in the futile search for perpetual motion.
 The ephemeral joys of the actor, the professional ball player or billiard expert availed naught as enticements to lead him from the path he had marked out for him. self.
 Step by step as the years rolled away he drew nearer and nearer to the goal of bis ambition and his heart swelled with proud satisfaction -# t-s H- #m"
 And he died at the age of sixty-three, leaving to posterity, as the result of life devoted to the pursuit of one great object, a collection of 337, ,469 cancelled postage stamps,-Chicago Tribune. Essr ea 9

Sip Your Milk Slowly.

Many people complain that they can not drink milk without being distressed by it. The reason is that they drink it too fast. If a glass of milk is swallowed hastily it enters the stomach, and then forms in one solid. curdled mass difficult of digestion. At least four minutes should be occupied in drinking glass Of milk, so that in reaching the stomach it will be so distributed that when coagu- lated, as it must be by the gastric juice, instead of being in one hard. condensed mass, it will be more in the form of 8 sponge.

The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-02-04

Congressman II. D. Harter, Of Ohio, has
bill in the House to repeal the 10 per
cent. tax which drove out the circulating
notes of state banks on the establishment
of the national bank system at the begin
ming of the war, and to substitute therefor
the same rate of taxation now imposed on
national bank circulation. Mr.. Harter ex-
plains that these state bank notes, unless
made as good as national bank notes,
would never enter into general circulation.
1T will be kind of money which banks
can issue only upon express state author
ity, and in nine out of ten cases such Sc
curity will be required and such restric-
tons will be placed about it as to make it
promptly redeemable at all times in United
States legal tender money. Every state
will recognize the necessity for this,
in order 10 insure even the existence of
state banks alongside the national banks"
The practical result would be death of the
national bank system, although Mr.. Har-
ter proposes TO add on to the state bank
note system his revised national bank note
system, described in recent issue Of this
paper.
