For the Guest Chamber.

There is a pretty fashion that as yet
has not found its way to many cities. It
is a delicate reminder to the ''sometSsae
guest" of the family hours for meals. At
the woman's exchanges, in places where
the custom prevails. are found for sale
daintily decorated cards for hanging on
the wall Of the guest chamber. A rough
surfaced, ragged edged card is used,
measuring 0 inches one way by 6 the
other. Across the upper part Of each Is
painted some expressive and suitablesen
timent, either quoted or original. Upon
the middle of the card vines, flowers or
landscapes are painted in water colors,
with space enough left at the side for the
words breakfast, luncheon and dinner,
with room to pencil the hours at which
they are served. At the bottom are given
the hours for mails, thus making, says
Hsrper's Bazaar, the pretty ornamental
thing a complete bureau of information,
answering five Of the usual questions
which agitate q visitors mind.

Those flower lovers whose aesthetic ideas
are wounded by the sight Of the little cakes
of earth in which potted plants are grown
will rejoice to hear Of a more decorative ar

filled with earth. Then plant the seeds or

The effect Is not only much prettier than
that Of garden mold, but the plants thrive
better in the moss. The moss absorbs just
enough moisture TO insure nourishment for

Any yet some interesting Illustrations and
comparisons may be given as to the size of
the sea, and here is a simple one found in
Golden Days:
The whole sea Is composed of the Allan
tic and Pacific, the Indian ocean, the Arctic
and Antarctic seas and various smaller
bodies of water. 1t has an area of 10000
600 square miles and would fSen a circle of

The relative size of the areas of the whole
surface Of the earth, of the whole sea. of
the Pacific and of the Atlantic can be rep
resented by q silver dollar for the surface
of the earth, a half dollar for the surface of
the whole sea, a rs cent piece for the sur
face of the Pacific and a silver half dime
for the surface of the Atlantic.

provide what is known as a ''spring back
folio"-that Is to say, a portfolio like the
covers of a book, with a large, strong, hol-
low spring back that will grip anything
that may be laid between the sides and
pushed back into the hollow.
The leaves of the album are made as fol-
lows: Good tough paper--manilla wrap
ping paper, for instance-is cut to the re-
quired size and folded double. On a band
of calico (A) Q inches wide is pasted a
strip of card (B) an inch wide along the
left side. The left hand fold of the MANILA
paper Is then attached to the calico ut the
right, leaving a space of onc-eighth inch Of
calico between to act as a hinge. The ma
nilla paper is then carefully folded over so
as to bring its right hand fold under the
calico, where 1t is attached In like manner
leaving the clear space of one-eighth inch
as before. Four short. diagonal cuts are
now made with q sharp knife through the
double leaf to hold the corners of the
prints, which are slipped in under the pa

put on the opposite sides of the same leaf,

These roses are large in size and often
very dark in color. The bonnets have
strings, which are tied in a bow under
the chin.
With the mercury and valkyrie effects
in trimming, wings are in great demand
for garniture. Two, four and even more
are required to produce the faring val
kyrie effect. All kinds of wings are en-
ployed, but there is an especial fancy
for wings Of green, black and snowy
white. Genuine parrots wings are to be
seen on some Of the most expensive hats.

POSITION OF DRh9SER M SINK.
grasp eagerly after new tangled dish
washers that work with q crank, patent
drains that dry the dishes without wip-
ing, etc.
In the accompanying sketch, furnished
by Ohio Farmer, is shown a homemade
drainer, which while leaving some work
to do on the part of the housewife is
Of valuable assistance in the matter Of
washing and wiping Of dishes. This
drainer ought to be placed just high
enough to be within easy reach and will
be found very handy indeed. The dishes
can be scalded before putting in the
drainer If desired, but if the wall back
of the sink is protected, as it should al
ways be, by tin or zinc, they can be
scalded after being placed in the drainer.
Any man or boy with proper tools can
make the drainer. The ends should be
solid while the front and bottom are
formed Of stats placed like lattice work.
1t should be made at such an angle as 70
incline toward the front or downward.
If your kitchen does not possess that
desirable and almost Indispensable arti-
Gle, q sink, then procure an oblong birch
basket, which can be purchased at a
small cost; spread a clean cloth or tea
towel in the bottom, place where it can
drain perfectly, scald your dishes and
place them on their edges in the basket.
let them rerlain until perfectly dry, or
until wanted for use, when they will be
found quite clean and shining, besides
saving a great deal of handling, which is
an important item where there are a
great many dishes to be washed every
day. The basket ran be easily scalded
and should be aired and dried once every
day, and thus kept clean and sweet.
A discarded dishpan or a basin large
enough may be made into q drainer for
dishes also. in this way: With a nail
and hammer drive the bottom full Of
holes and place the pan over some re-
ceptacle to catch the water with which
the dishes are scalded. The only objes-
ton to this device is rust, which will 10
render il unfit for use unless care In
taken TO dry as often as possible. Acloth
should be placed in the bottom of the
pan before placing the dishes therein.

And gayly futtered by;

And everybody staid.

A Dog That Could Spell.

A great lover of animals has said that
dogs can be almost taught to speak. Cap
tain is the name of a clever dog which, al
though he had not advanced so far as this,
could spell his own name and that of his
owners. The letters used in the names
were cut out of painted cardboard and
placed upon the ground before him, and
with scarcely ever a mistake he would ar
range them In the correct order. l do moi
know how long Captain tool to learn this
wonderful trick, but / do know that un-
limited patience and kindness were used in
the teaching. The years have robbed the
luster from Captains eye, and his limbs
are stiff and his frame gaunt with age, but
he still living, and II he regards you as a
special friend you may coax him to spell
his name.

before carpets it was the custom to strew
the floor with rushes. When guests of

rushes that had already been used, while
still humber persons had to do without

1t is said that the steamer Milton
which burned a few days ago was not
insured, but on the other hand, was
deeply in debt, says the Tacoma
Ledger. The day that she burned 1t
was reported at the wharf that the
revenue cutter Walcott had seized the
steamer in Seattle, and there was an
other report that the steamer was to
have been libeled there for debt The
facts, as learned yesterday, are that
the steamer has been at Old Tacoma
on, the ways for some time past get
ting a new cabin put on her and being
wdened. When this was done she went
TO Seattle to take out new papers to
carry more passengers. She was to run
between Tacoma and Seattle by way of
the west passage. 1t was on her way
back with only the engineer aboard
her that spark from the smolxestac5
caught in the after part of the boat
and when discovered by the men was
blazing fiercely The boat was headed
for shore and she was beached high
and dry. In this position she burned
to the keel and is a total loss. The
steamer Perley coming past, brought
the engineer and fireman on to Taco
ma They had jumped from the boat
when 1t first grounded. leaving all their
clothes except what they wore.
