Homemade Curtains.

They may be made of unbleached mus
lin and are very pretty to take the place
of a closet door. Get the yard and a
half width and have it the length of the
height of the doorway and a quarter of
a yard more. Upon this draw conven-
tionalized flowers, choosing those of
large size and scattering them with little
regard to regularity. Fitch these with
the heavy linen floss, and then as a back
ground darn the muslin with a fine linen
of some contrasting shade. Put the lines
close enough to give the tint to the
whole curtain. Instead of working the
curtain these flowers may be painted in
%colors, but no shading should be at
tempted.
A curtain of this kind may also be
made of denim, and with the same deco
rations. If blue denim is used, turn the
light side out and then make a border of
the darker, etching straight lines upon
each side Of the border, and in the cen
ter put circles and crescents, outlining
those in different colors. Finish across
the top of the piece where it turns over
In either case with a fringe to correspond
in color with the decorations.

she had been o manaic; he vas keeping
her confined in a suite Of rooms at this
house, hoping that entire rest would re-
store her reason. He thanked me for
what I had done and asked me to call
the next afternoon.
Having eaten my dinner very rapidly,
/ met Melville and we went to the opera.
During the time between acts he told
me of his sad trip to Monte Carlo, and it
was not until we were slowly walking
up the Avenue de rOpera that I told him
of my unusual experience of the after
noon.
With a shade of that same strange
smile I had before noticed he asked me
the appearance of the man, and when l
described him he half muttered, Il
thought So" Nothing more was said
for several blocks, when he suddenly
asked, the smile being fully developed,
"And where is my pinF put my hand
t o my cravat-the pin vas gone! KNEW
that I had worn it in the afternoon. and
now it was missing. Melville noticed my
surprise and said again, Il thought So"
After walking a moment In silence he
continued: 'sThat pin was very highly
valued by one of Europe's most noted
gamblers. Some months ago, on account
of severe losses, he was compelled to part
with it ct a verylow figure, as it's real
value was not known. ] recently dis
covered it in a pawnshop, recognized it
as having belonged to this gambler and
bought it for the ridiculous price of 10
napoleons. One day / met its former
owner in the hotel. He recognized the
pin on my tie, looked wistfully at it, but
said nothing. Several times after that I
noticed a rather pretty young lady
watching me very closely. You have
perfectly described both this woman and
the gambler. Now you know where my
pin is"
said nothing; what could I say?
But the next day I called at IA at the
appointed hour. When I presented my
card and asked for the gentleman, the
reply came: 'Ze zhentheman an hees
daughter go dees mornin, but re zhen-
theman leave re note for monsieur"
And she handed me an envelope contain
ing a thousand franc note, upon one
corner of which was written, "Many
thanks for the pin" Both Melville and
1were satisfed.-T. c. B. in Pittsburg

A very simple and inexpensive plan for
identifying a window is borrowed from
a Dutch PEASANTS cottage. The lower
half of the PEASANTS window was COM
posed of IL small panes set in three rows.
The upper part consisted of one pane the
width of four Of the smaller panes and
the height of two of them. This large
pane was covered with a diamond shaped
lattice work, capable of being made by
a home carpenter and painted a dark
green. The sash and frame were of the
same color. Behind the lower part hung
a pale yellow sash curtain on a rod.
Above the window was a narrow ledge
on which were securely p~lacedfye plates
of old delft. The walls were tinted a
pure pale yellow, and on either side of
the window frame were set blue and
white tiles. On the window shelf a jar
of coarse yellow e-arthenware with red
field flowers completed the color har-

Some Matters CT Etiquette.

Every now and thaa. the New York
Times'says, this item floats through the
press, 1.-THE napkin must be half folded
and thrown down beside the plate" This
is all very well SO far as it goes; the
trouble is it doesn't go very far. Only
part of the rule is given. The whole
goes on to say, UNLESS napkin rings are
used and you expect to take another
meal in the same house."
Of course nc vi will use your napkin,
so if you have no more need of it it may
be thrown aside. But in many American
households the same table linen serves
the same people more than once. Assur-
eddy you should not reflect upon your
hostess daintiness by assuming that
this is not possible-like a certain wom-
an in whose own home the napkin ring
was reigning, who tossed the napkin in
an untidy heap upon the table three
times a day of a three weeks visit-this
in face of the fact that it was invariably
placed in a ring beside her plate when
she sat down to eat. She had seen or
grasped the first part only of the dictum,
and she fancied she was impressing her
entertainers with her elegant informa-
ton.
Sometimes a custom becomes obsolete.
It was once proper for q man to precede
a woman in ascending stairs. Later ad-
vices state that he should allow her prec-
edence everywhere and at all times. 1.
is out of fashion, too, for ones escort to
cling tenaciously to the outside of the
walk, that rule having been %expounded
In other days and other environment than
this. It is so out of date as to be a woe
full blunder when a man gives both arms
to a girl with whom he is walking.

A Holder For Hairpins.

Every woman needs hairpin holder,
but the trouble with most of those made
Is that they do not hold hairpins-that is,
they are either too hard or too soft. The
latest invention is odd, pretty and, more
over, is the very thing for the purpose. It
is made Of three-quarters Of a yard Of
manila rope doubled and tied with a bow
of ribbon. It should be- hung beside the
dressing table by the loop thus formed
The endsmay then be fringed out to soft
tufts, and these will be found to hold and
give up on application the hairpins per
fectly.

most south of the Double Buttes on the southern limit of the valley.
 At this point the formation is pecu- liar. the bed rock rising out of the soil and forming rocky mesa in the foothills, while along it's sides the moist clay was placed in the form of wall and afterwards burned, when perhaps the earth was thrown around it in order to protect it from the weight of the water, which must have otherwise crushed it.
 As an exhibition of engineering skill there is nothing in Arizona to- day that will equal 1t, and lt is won derful that these ancient people. whom we say were barbarians, should have such knowledge, by which they took advantage of every freak of nature. and made it assist them in the tilling of the soil. It may be well that modern engineers investigate and profit by this discovery, for it may be the key to the supply of wa ter with which every foot Of ArizOna's valleys were once irrigated.

ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.
From the Bakersfield Californian.

From the Bakersfield Californian.
 The following shows in concise form some, but not all, of the advan- tages of irrigation:
 It softenS the consistence of the soil, rendering it more penetrable by the roots of the plants.
 It facilitates decomposition of or ganic matter in the soil, promoting germination.
 It modifies the temperature of the soil
 It furnishes more water to the plant and soil
 It supplies moisture at the time most needed by plant and soil.
 It supplies moisture to the crops which require excessive moisture.
 It encourages early and rapid growth.
 It insures larger crop and more crops.
 It insures a better quality to the crop of fruit.
 It furnishes a systematic metIod instead of irregulsrity,
