The Final Splurge.

Arthur Quiller-Couch's story called
1.-The Pauper'' contains the description
of poor old couple who give the last
little entertainment to their friends be-
fore going into the workhouse. 1t seems
to be the usual thing for Cornish folks,
whose hospitality even under the most
disadvantageous circumstances is pro-
verbal. They like to make splash be-
fore going under. Miss Scantlebury

The Earth'S Journey.

The earth does not travel at the same
rate all through its journey. Its orbit
being elliptical, it must at some time
approach nearer to the sun than at
others and will take less time in NOV
ing through one part of its path than
through another. In winter the earth
is nearer the sun than in summer and
moves through space more rapidly. On
Jan. | the earth is about 5000, 600
miles nearer the sun than it is on July
/, and as the velocity of planet in
creascS with it nCarnCSS to the sun the
earth passes over one-half of its orbit
in less time than over the other half.
Between the vernal equinox, which
happens on March 81 and the autumnal
equinox, which falls on Sept. 90, the
earth is 1856 days i'll accomplishing that
half Of her journey round the sun,
while the other half occupies only 179
days. 1t has been said that, owing to
the friction caused by the tides and
other reasons, the earth IS moving more
slowly than it used to do, and that the
days are consequently lengthening. but
as this is only to the extent of half a
second III a century it will be a long
time before there will he any apparent
difference. - Brooklyn Eagle.

4 BASKET DESIGN.

0les of real artistic merit in most of the
leading shops. They are no longer sold
at exorbitant prices in the exclusive art
associations. The floral basket pattern
here reproduced from Modern Priscil-
la. with directions for working it, is
both new and artistic.
This design may be stamped on linen,
on boiling cloth for dolly or decora-
tive square for top Of mOuchOlr sachet or
pin cushion. The piece of boiling must
be much larger than needed or must
have basted around the edges strip of
cloth, so that the portions crumpled in
the hoop can be cut away.
1t requires some skill and great nicely
to embrOider successfully on such a
delicate foundation. A very fine needle
and one strand of filoselle are used and
drawn back and forth with great care.
No threads can be run across from
flower to flower on the underside, but
each must be fastened and cut.
The design may be worked in all white
on the boiling or in very delicate tones
of pink or blue and green, with fine gold
thread for the basket. This class of de-
sign is among the most popular of pres
ent styles. 1t may also be painted on
boiling cloth with gouache cOlors. Large
basket designs are also suited to the
large square pillows that are now indis-
pensable in we'll furnished parlor, Ii
brary or sitting room. Tiny baskets are
embroidered i'll the corners of square
napkins and doilies.

THE JEWEL CASKET.

Carnelian sleeve buttons trimmed with
gold are pretty.
Bracelets in lace work designs worked
out in jewels are worn.
Queen chains of fine gold links connected
by balls of coral OF pearls are still worn.
Amethyst and topaz are US much used
for seals and fob chains as the various
sards.
\ pearl necklace WAS seen with festoons,
between each of which hung a carnelian
heart
Tortoise shell caskets for jewels are lined
with satin. but the translucence of the shell
is lost thereby.
Many men are showing silver handled
scissors thRt shut up on themselves and
may be carried in the pocket.
A carnelian heart inclosed in diamonds
between sprigs Of mistletoe had little rib
bons flying, on which was the new date.
Yellow toned carnelian with a milky
haze over it is pretty and becoming. espe-
cially when set with diamonds or pearls.
The prettiest way to preserve one of the
2 cent Columb ian stamps is in a stamp box
with the stamp reproduced in enamel and
the edges bound In repousse silver.

Ia Eontaine's OniniOn of Himself.

LA Fontaine, said one of the most
brilliant critics and wits of the famous
fable writer's time, lis such fool that
he does not know he has more genius
than Esop or Phadrus.
In truth, he was a severe critic of his
own work. He attended the first presen-
tation Of his "Astree," and sat near
some ladies who did not know him. At
some of the important passages he ex-
claimed: "That is wretched! That is
absurd!"
When they protested that it was
good, and that it was by the great La
Fontaine he rejoined:
"That makes no difference. The
piece is bad. l know that La Fontaine
you are speaking of. He's stupid fell
low. He's myself
Then he went out, entered cafe and
went to sleep in corner. Some of his
friends found him there and inquired
why he wasn't listening to "Astree. -
"Oh," said the author, rousing him
self and sitting a yawn, 81 just came
away. The first part displeased me
greatly. No one agreed with what [ said
about it, but didn't care to hear more.

three little girls. They We're bound for
a social or an entertainment or some
thing of the kind.
One of the young women was dis
pleased. She flounced into the car and
sat in a corner and pouted. Her escort
was callow young fellow, and he was
frightened out of what few wits he pos
sessed. He fused around and tried to
get the girl IL talk, but she would have
nothing to do with him beyond answer

Anyway, the sidewalks are good, and
it wasn't raining very hard when we got

Tho girl had nothing to say to this,
and the young man strOked his pointed
chin and tried to think Of some Other
way to start conversation.
The girl still pouted The rest of the
party were talking merrily, and the
young man who had the sulky beauty in

mind to find out what was the trouble.

"Now. Mamie" said the sulky girl,

Recipe For Cream Filling.

A cream filling that can be used for
chocolate, nut and date creams may be
made by this recipe from The House
wife:
Whites of . eggs, one-half cupful of
sweet cream, y pounds of cOnfectioners'
sugar. Mold into shape on II marble
slab. For date creams remove the stones
and mold the cream around the dates.
For nut creams make squares of the
cream and put half of an English wal
nut on each side. Very nice nut creams
are also made by chopping nuts and stir
ring them in tn" cream before it is stiff
and moldimg the desired size.
Another similar rule for the filling of
chocolate and nut creams calls for the
white of one egg, the same quantity Of
cream and confectioners' sugar to make
stiff enough to mold.

Mr. William F. Richards, of 299 Lowell
street, Lawrence Mass, a well known man
in that city, has for twenty-four years been
a great sufferer and all this time had been
striving to find some one who could cure
him, but until now his search has been in
vain. He knows at last that he is in safe
hands, and writes the following interest
ing letter:
Nearly twenty four years ago was taken
with nervous prostration and was very
sick, so sick that thought 1 never shoGld
leave my bed. Slowly 1 regaincd strength,
but only to have another attack few
years later. Ipartialy recovered from this
second attack, but was thoroughly used up
and unfit for any hard work.
Some five years ago, at the breakfast
table, was taken with a dizzy spell and
my hands and feet to my elbows and knees
seemed numb, and the muscles had lost
all their power
For days l was unable to move myself
at all and had to be fed like a child.
