ELECTRICAL EXECUTION AND IT'S
EFFECT.

John Tunis in a Boston paper tells,
after witnessing the execution of the muir
derer Harris by electricity, of the i'm
preston made upon the onlookers. Ac-
cording TO Mr.. Tunis, the execution by
electrical current is more crueI-to the
beholders-than execution by hanging.
The reasons he gives are that it was ex-
ecution reduced to its lowest terms. at

thing to wait for-the descent of death The

seemed TO stand out so. There was nothing

Flannel Skirt.

An exchange tells us Of pretty and
novel flannel skirt, and furnishes the
following description of it.
The body Of the skirt was OF the soft
e It and finest white flannel, and the en-
broidery vas in dark green and orange
six floss. That combination may sound
q little gaudy, bat there was nothing
CANDY about the article itself. 1t was
scalloped about the foot with an orange
soallop composed Of three curves, above
which inverted, was another scallopmade
inthe same way. The finished points ot
the two scallops met, giving charming
effect. A little TO one side Of the mid
die Of the front breadth. there was clus-
ter Of orange buds and flowers, with
green foliage, running up about four
or five inches above the border. The
band about the waist was a piece of
white MORE ribbon lined with silesia
and catch-stitched on with the dark
green silk.

Care of Umbrellas.

Umbrellas in Florida are among the
indispensables, and a few items on the
care of them may not be amiss.
After coming in out of the rain, let
the umbrella down and stand it on the
handle that it may dry in this position
the water will thus drip from the edges
OF the frame, and the cover dry uni
formly. When placed with the handle
upwards, as is frequently done, the
water runs to the top of the umbrella,
and the moisture is there retained in
the lining underneath the ring for some
length of time, causing the silk or fabric
with which the frame is covered to be-
come tender and soon rot. A silk UNI
brella is much injured by being left
open to dry, the silk becomes stretched
and stiff, and will soon split thus cared
for. When not in use let the folds lie
loose, not fastened down; the creases
are less apt to split from this usage.
Last of all never dare TO leave an UNI
brela in hall way or where it may be
easily appropriated or you will find
when looking for it at some needed time
you are minus an umbrella.

be made from the milk and be found
quite an adjunct to the supper.
Use the proportion of two quarts OF
sour milk to six of sweet. Put the two
kinds of milk together in a kettle or
large basin, and place on the stove
where it will keep moderately warm,
not stirring until the curd separates from
the whey, then remove it with a skim
mer to a coarse clean cloth, tie it up and
drain off the whey. If wanted to use
soon, squeeze out withthe hand all the wet
and put the curds on dish, and add an
even tablespoonful of butter and very
little salt. II it seems too dry and
crumbly add a little sweet cream. work
ing it evenly through with the hand.
Those who prefer the sour cheese can
make it in the same way, from butter
milk or any sour milk that is not bi ter,
and when the butter and salt have been
thoroughly mixed with the curds, press
them tightly in deep earthern dish,
from which the cheese can he sliced
when ready to serve.

Dainty Furnishings.

For the benefit of our women who are
always on the lookout for something
new in the way of bed room decorations
we suggest that nothing can be prettier
for bureau or chitfonier than a large
scarf of India, or other soft silk, care
lessly arranged, in the folds of which
nestle the various articles of the toilet.
One who is an adept in dainty fur
nishings says, large pincushions are
still used, but little pin-trays of silver
or hand painted china are found very
convenient. These are also made of
plain satin damask, stamped with a
large pansy, wild rose or dogwood
flower, embroidered in long and short
stitch, the edges buttonholed and then
mounted ON stiff foundation bent in
the natural shape Of the blossom.
Larger trays for comb and brush are
made and mounted in the same man.

flowers and scattered sprays. The cor

Cushions for lace pins are very nee
essary adjuncts to every toilet-table.
They should be made of muslin and
filled with wool or hair, then covered
with silk or surah, taking a large piece
for the under part, bringing it up full
over the corners, if square, hiding the
edges under a smaller piece for the top.
The covers for these little cushions are

Making a Bore of Present Giving.

The following bit of sensible talk is
well worth place in our columns, and
should be b. rne in mind. We have con-
tended for long time that the giving of
presents is ruined by the rigid laws of
custom, and will gladly welcome the
day when it is abandoned. The great
difficulty, says the writer, of all present
giving is that it is ruined by customs
and it is custom which is created by Sc
lecting fixed days for present giving.
The pleasant sense Of surprise and un"
expectedness, which is more than half
the battle, is wholly lost if day is fixed,
and the giving descends from an act Of
friendliness into what is, at best, an act
of courtesy. There is a tendency, too,
as in wedding presents, to "heft" the
resent received on fixed day and
therefore to maintain a standard. and
a standard once fixed there is an end Of
spontaneousness altogether. The Civ
ing becomes a custom, the custom a
rigid observance, and the rigid observ-
ance a nuisance, which compes un-
wishedfor expenditure at the wrong
moment, and is sure, in the end, to lead
to a sudden and nearly universal revolt.
1t is worse than the giving of wedding
presents, for nobody really has an in
stinct of awakened affection on the same
day towards twenty people at once, and
if present giving becomes as widely diff
fused custom as the sending of Christ
mas presents threatened to be, circle
OF twenty would be unusually small.
Nothing is so fatal to any friendly ETH
quette as to become bore, and day
on which present giving is expected al
ways tends to become one. Spontane,
BUSINESS, in one word, is the secret OF
friendly present giving, with this single
reserve that society must help little
by using its absolute power to decree
that present-reCeiving shall be con -
cred, unless special circumstances in
tervene, "good form"
