Among the many homely things
around the house, which may be con-
verted into things of beauty, are Or
binary baskets Common, everyday
baskets, we mean. Let us begin with
the ordinary potato basket. Neatly
covered with a gay figured but cheap
chintz or cretonne, and lined with
plain chintz, 1t at once becomes a re-
ceptacle for smaller articles of soiled
linen, or even the family mending.
A step higher in decoration of this
homely but useful article, Is to
enamel 1t, let us say cream color and
line it with pale colored Saline, either
plain or wadded. II used for mend
ing, a number of useful lockets, large
and small, may be added. In these
may be kept the implements necessa-
~ to the weekly mending. If a COW
er is desired, it may be cut the de-
sired size, from card. board, covered
with cretonne to match the basket.
and finished with a full ruching.
Another basket. which Is more
suitable for fancy work, may be made
from one of the Japanese waste paper
baskets which are to be purchased at
a low price. The trimming put upon
them is a matter Of individual taste.
A piece of white matter (Which is,
perhaps, the next thing to a basket, }
may be converted into a very conve-
nient holder for daily papers and
like periodicals, by making Of it a
''catchall" for the wall. 1t should
be finished with embroidery .or hand
painting in bold designs
A most convenient basket for those
inclined to literary tastes, and one
which makes a charming gift, is what
is known as the basket fitted up in
the following way: Line the interior
throughout with brocade Of Saline.
Attached to the sides at intervals,
loops of wide rubber for holding pen
holder, paper-knife, lead pencil, scis'
sors, etc To each Of the four sides,
attach a fiat pocket for writing mate
rails, unanswered letters, and the
like. Across each Of the four corners
is a small gathered pocket, fulled in
at the top with a narrow rubber, in
which the closed inkwell and muc l.
age bottle may be safely tucked.
They also serve as a place OF safe
keeping for rubber, paper fasteners,
pins, pens, sealing wax, etc. AS a
finishing touch should be ADDED
blotting pad which fits the bottom OF
the basket.

An Advsn.eror who Think, There Ar

An Adysntufer who Thinks There Ar
Fortunes OH the New Guiuea Coast.
J. McCaulay, a tall, bronzed man
with bushy, brown side whiskers,
and wearing a broad-rimmed, drab.
colored hat, Is at the American Ex-
change from New Guinea, says the
San Francisco Examiner. Mr.. Nc
Caulay IS attracting attention, not
only by his striking appearance, but
by the singular news which he brings.
as we'll as by a queer box, the con-
tents Of which he discloses when at
tention is called to it. He has pene-
trated regions of New Guinea, during
several years in that country, never
before reached by white men, and has
also sailed along its shores in places
u nvisited by other English-speaking
travellers. The box he has contains
ambergris, and Mr.. McCaulay states
that there was a large amount OF it
in the places he visited along the
New Guinea coast. lie says there
we're many sperm whales there from
which the ambergris comes. Lumrs
and chunks of it are found in the
water and washed ashore, varying in
weight from a few onces to a hum
dred pounds and more. 1t Is very
high, and a few pounds of 1t makes a
very comfortable stake to the finder
when he gets where he can market
1t. Mr.. McCaulaY is preparing to go
ambergris hunting. He will cruise
along the coast in a ~whaleboat, with
natives to pull the oars. and collect
what he can and forward it to san
Francisco and London.
II know one man." he said, ''who
found a lot of ambergris not long ago,
took it to England and got $50, 900
for it. Other men have made from
s., 900 up, and Others have made less
Most men don't know what it is, and
they are as liable to push it away
with the foot as do anything else
with il. l am satisfied there is big
money In going into the business of
hunting for it, and that is one of the
things | am going to do when l get

Ambergris is used in perfumeries,
for certain kinds Of cooking, and in

Of its being worth from 81 so to So a
grain. This seems to be an error,
however, for at the San Francisco
drug stores the price is said to be
So. 25 an ounce for black ambergris
and s.. rs for the gray. 1t is she
latter which the New Guinea ex-
plorer has brought with him, and he
says that Is the kind generally found
there.
"'There is a curious thing about
It," said he. "You can put a little
| of 1t on a bunch of flowers and it will
preserve them perfectly for a hundred
years. II there are several different
kinds 1t will preserve then all
| equally, and each will retain its odor,
too, no matter how long it may be.
