FOR SMALL PINS AND HAT PINS.

yellow silk. On the linen are en-
broidered buttercups here and there,
and as it is thin and sheer the tint of
the silk gives it just tender yellow
tone. The lace makes frill and is
finished with heading of white lace
through which narrow yellow ribbon
is run. Large dogs ears bows of
broad satin ribbon are placed opposite
one another, just midway of the
round, and the completed trifle stands
upon table that is all white and gold.
Of the same coloring, and, in fact,
upon the same stand, is the hat-pin
cushion, which is also round, but
which differs essentially from that de-
signed for ordinary pins. 1t is made
within decorated china bowl, and is
Just deep enough to hold the long pins
upright and big enough to allow of
keeping a goodly store.
The special one to which I allude is
gold and white, to suit the stand and
all the paraphernalia that it holds, but
it might be blue, pink, green, or, indeed,
anything you may prefer. The pecul-
iarity of the bowl is the only essential
point, and to make the cushion fit ex-
actly requires the same care and the
same method whatever the color or
design may be.
Select pretty bowl about five or
six inches across, then cut round of
heavy cardboard to fit it slightly be-
low the edge. Cover the cardboard
loosely with large round of cotton
cloth exactly as you would cover an
old time button mold, but leave it
loose to allow of filing or stuffing, as
is the better word. Stuff the cotton
we'll with bran till you have firm cir
cular mound, pouring it in through a
slit in the center, which you must
afterward close. Then cover with en-
broidered linen or some small-fgured
silk. Paste round the inner edge OF
the bowl with glue or strong flour
paste, drop in the cushion, and wher
it is dry you will find it stuck fast

How He Trapped Her.

DIR. John Erskine, a well-known Scot
tish divine, was remarkable for his SIM
plicity of manner and gentle temper.
He returned so often from the pulpit
minus his pocket handkerchief that
Mrs. Erskine at last began to suspect
that the handkerchiefs were stolen by
some of the old women who lined the
pulpit stairs. So both to balk and de-
tect the culprit she sewed a corner 81
the handkerchief to one of the pockets
of the coat tails. Half way up the
stairs the good doctor felt a tug, where.
upon he turned round and caught hold
of the hand of the guilty old woman,
saying, with great tenderness and sim
plicity:
mo the day, honest woman, no the
day. Mrs Erskine has sewed it in."-

thumb and forefnger, and, not paying
the least attention to the farmer, he
counted out two hundred and twenty

vanced toward the deacon The latter
danced backward, tapping his hands
deprecatingly like great shanghai

$40 bill to the wad while the cleaning

plump up to the deacon, grabbed his
hand, and attempted to cram the money
into his broad palm. The deacon
would not allow it-no, not he. He
backed away toward the yard, unfast-
ened the gate, and disappeared in the
stable. In n minute he came out, a
halter in his hand. Said he with queer

the governor deemed full pardon inn

another three months, though, and by
that time popular sentiment was likely

were getting on and off the train, but
could not move a muscle.

train moved on and took me with it,

Tho Souvenir Pin Craze.

The spoon craze has well-nigh run
its course. Women who have 100 or
200 spoons of different shapes, sizes
and designs have turned their backs
OH the fad, and now it languishes. But
a new one is springing up in its place,
as silly a fad as ever tempted the soul
of woman to extravaganza. 1t is the
collection of hat pins. Many Of these
pins would serve for daggers, tits true;
but the usefulness of the dagger, is
after all, circumscribed. 1t would per-
haps be just as well if the hat pin craze
were punctured with one of its own
weapons.-N. Y. Times.

Maine Deacon Who Respected the Sab
bath and Al.o a Good Bargain.
A Portland man went up in the coun-
try to buy a horse recently 1t was on
Sunday, by the way, the only day that
the busy citizen could spare from his
occupation. He had no definite idea
just where he was going but he had
his eye out for anything on four legs
that looked promising, Finally, as he
drove along pretty country highway,
he espied three horses in small stable
yard. He drove up, hitched his steed
and leaned upon the fence, looking the
stock over. One young mare attracted
his attention especially, and he was ad-
miring her when the house door opened
and an old man of very trim counten-
ance came out There were the usual
preliminaries about the weather, and
then the farmer asked:
Looking for anything PARTICULAR"

mare there very much. What is your

Tut, tut. | never do business on

in the church, and whatever else l may
do, will not profane the Lords day
by buying and selling. Why, sir, seems
as though all you city folks wanted tc
come out here and dicker on Sunday"
The Portland man commenced to fee
ashamed before the grave, gray eyes o.
this old man. The farmer continued;
Isn't there one day that you car
rest from your everlasting trading;

here, said he was from Portland, ant
he offered two hundred dollars fol
