Frame for -Four Photographs.

This is q very pretty way of display
ing four photographs; it may easily
be modified so us to hold n larger or q
smaller number, and the frames may,
II preferred, be cut square, or round,
or oval. or shield shaped. A sheet of
very stout cardboard is needed for the
front, and piece of rather thinner
make for the back. In the thick
sheet cut four oval spaces. These
may give some trouble to the amateur,
so it is as we'll, perhaps, to get u pro-
fessional mount cutter to arrange
this, as he has the means of planning
them accurately and spacing them
properly.
The second and thinner sheet of
cardboard should be cut exactly the
same shape and size as the thick piece,
but 1t need have no openings. Before
covering the front of the frame, take
n brush filed with gold paint and
color the edge of the oval openings
with it. Then lightly gum the card,
lay n sheet of waddin9 over it and
cover this place with a piece of bro
cade. Press this down we'll, especially
round the openings, but carry the
outer edges of the material over to
the wrong side of the cardboard and
gum them down well there. When
the gum is dry cut away the brocade
and the wadding from above the
openings.
Take next some colored ribbon about
an inch wide, and lay a length be-
tween each of the openings for the
photographs and hold it down with an
invisible stitch placed here and there.
The edge of the openings must now
be finished with line of narrow gold
gimp, which can most easily be Sc
cured with very little glue, care be-
ing taken that this does not run be-
yond the edges. A bow of ribbon
should now be placed at the top and
bottom, tho upper one of the two
having loop added to it by which
the frame can be hung up.
OThe outer edge of the frame is
finished off in very pretty and novel
style. Procure some large crystal
beads and quantity of pins with
colored glass heads, such as nre used
in making macrame lace. Pass pin
through each head and then stick it
into the edge of the frame. Allow a
space equal to the width of bead
between each one, and vary the
colors according to fancy and accord
ing to the prevailing tint of the
brocade.
The next thing to do is to fix the
photographs at the opening made
for them. A touch of gum at the
corners will be nll-suflicient to hold
them, and care must be taken to
place them quite evenly and straight
upon the card. Now cover the thin
ner piece of card which has been re-
served for the back and hold it with a
few stitches taken through the edges
here and there, at intervals of an
inch or two all round.

A Japanese Girl Student.

hhucllIIe cOlleRe, formerly harvard
annex, has among its undergraduates
this year the first japanese girl who
has come to this country for an educa-
tion. She is Miss Shid- Mori, and she
is described as charming combina-
tion of Japanese features, English
dress, American coiffure, and Jap.
nnese-Anglo language. She had been
ut Radcliffe since the beginning of
the midwinter term, but she had been
keeping shyly out of sight until one
night, when there was an entertain
ment given by DR. Sargent's school,
Then the shy little japanese maid
came forth and gave juggling ex-
hibition with as much ease as if she
were on n New York variety stage in
stead of pursuing classical educa-
tion in Cam bridge. Since that time
she has been very much the fashion.
Miss Morris home is in Yanagawa,
Kiushu, japan, where her father is
wealthy banker. He was converted
to Christianity long ago, and his four
sons and two daughters were educated
in TIE Christian faith. Miss Shid is
now qualifying herself to return to
Japan as u missionary of the highest
order. After she has studied here a
year or two she will go to London and
Paris, after which she thinks she will
be prepared to return to her home and
convert her people. She is considered
very bright and extremely we'll fitted
for college work by the professors at
Radcliffe, but she herself thinks she
is painfully backward for her age.
She is nearly 90 years old and was
much surprised to hear that that is
considered youthful age at Cam
bridge.

Tests of Good SILK.

The woman who buys silk dress
only once in decade can lily afford
to find that she has chosen poor
piecc-one that cuts or tears or trays
or wears shiny or greasy looking.
Costliness is no guarantee of worth.
1t will be worth the small outlay,
says Harper's Bazar, to buy an eig hth
of yard and test it in the leisure of
your home. The first thing to do is
to try and tear it, both lengthwise
and crosswise. If it gives way readily
in either direction, be sure either that
the dye has destroyed the strength,
Or that the thread is composed in part
of what is technically known as silk
waste. Pure silk, properly dyed, is the
strongest known fiber. Nearly all the
cheaper dyes, particularly the dark
and black ones, have basis of me-
tallic salts that eat into and weaken
what they color. Next test the firm
ness of weave by scraping diagonally
across the fabric with the thumb nail.
If it is durable and worth buying the
threads will not slip for any amount
of manipulation. Otherwise the
thumb nail will soon make space of
loose threads as big as itself. After
that ravel out a bit of the silk, and
look carefully ut the quality of both
warp and woof Sometimes II pure
silk warp has heavily loaded woof.
At others, especially in satin weaves,
so much of the woof as comes on the
backing. The pure silk unloaded, is
of lively lustre and very soft to the
touch. If the lustre has been nrti-
ticially produced the fiber feels harsh
and brittle. If it is silk, hut loaded
with metallic die, the fiber looks like
cotton but is somewhat softer.
Another test of quality is to pull out
threads both ways and try their
strength between your fingers. That
is, catch them with both hands about
an inch apart, give a quick, outward
jerk, and note the force necessary to
break them. Then try to tear the
silk along the lines that the threads
came out of. If it parts so difficulty
that there are Fuckers along the tear,
it is proof that it will wear decently
well. The supreme test of all. though,
for either weighing or adulteration of
fiber, is to burn fragment of the
stuff, and also some ravelings of it. If
it is pure and properly dyed it will
take fire with difficulty, even when
held directly in flame. 1t will go out
almost as soon as the flame is with
drawn, leaving ashes that are nearly
jet black. On the other hand,
weighted silk is almost dangerously
intlammable. 1t takes fire readily,
and once burning will smolder
through the piece, leaving ashes that
keep the shape of the cloth and are of
light yellowish-red color If there is
cotton mixed with the fiber the smell
of the smoke will betray it.

Noting has its analogy throughout
the animal kingdom. We indeed mott
invisibly, are continuously shedding on,
scales, but there are sOIne animals that
get through this process even more quick,
ly than do birds-as, for instance, the
shedding of the skin as a whole by the
newt, eft and snake.
Sir James Paget has noted that some
people have a few extra long hairs grow.
ing out from the general mass of the
eyebrows. The few long hairs are repre-
sentatives of a permanent condition in
the chimpanzec and some balloons. They
grow out separately from the general
hairy mass over the superciliary ridges.
Darwin notes as a significant fact that
the palms of the hands and the soles of
the feet of man are quite naked of hairs,
like the inferior surfaces of all four ex-
tremities in most Of the lower animals.
Something about the ear: The lobule
of the ear is peculiar to man. There is,
however, a rudiment of it in the gorilla.
Happy gOrilla-and man!
About the brain of man and apes: The
whole comparison is one of degree, and
in the case of the bushman's brain with
that of a well developed ape the com
parison becomes nearly equal. In truth,
there are no specific distinctions between
the brain Of the ape and that of man.

TRAPPING AN AUDIENCE.
How an Eccentric Lecturer Got His Me
and Then Founded Them.

ana Anen rounded Them.
Some years ago an eccentric genius,
the Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, used to give
temperance lectures. One night he an
nounced that ne would lecture at a GER
tain Pennsylvania town. Now, temper
ance was not in favor among the male
portion Of that burg.
II women, however, We're all for the
pledge" and consequently on Hunts
hrst visit not q man showed himself.
Ihe benches were pretty well filled with
women, though, and Hunt commenced.
But instead Of temperance he took them
to task o the vanities of dress, etc.
They wore great stuffed feather sleeves
then. They-the sleeves-caughtit, then
the tight lacings, and SO on through the
whole catalogue of female follies, but no
word about intemperance.
The ladies went home nearly mad, told
their husbands about it and voted old
Hunt n regular humbIg. He announced
he would lecture at the same place the
next night. Long before the time ap-
pointed the people began to arrive, and
when Hunt hobbled down the aisle the
building was completely filled with men.
The old fellow looked about, chuckled
and said in a low voice, Hogs, I've got
you now"
The audience stared.
AHA, hogs. I've got you now" he re-
peated.
After the crowd had go ,luiet a little
the lecturer said:
Friends, you var Il {, know what |
meant by saying, 'I4o,s, I've got you
now" and III tell you. Out west the
hogs u wild. and when folks get out
of meat they catch q young pig, put a
strap under his body and hitch him to Il
young sapling that will just swing him
from the ground nicely. OF course he
sQueals and raises a rulnpus, when ali
the old hogs gather arOund to see what
is the matter, and then they shoot them
at Their leisure. Last night l hung q big
up. hurt it a little. and it sQucalcd.
The old hogs have turned out tonight to
see the fun, and Ill roast YOU"
And 50 he did, pitching into thci

and gusto.-Amcrican Home Life.

ING COSTUME. and the nrmher
of seedy foreigners who have found the
art of the fencing master an easy method
Of earning a few dollars is surprisingly
prodigious.
And why not? The American woman
has discovered that exercise with the
folls will promote gracefulness, supple
ness and vigor, and since robust health
fulness is the prevailing mode she goes
in for fencing with her accustomed dash
and energy. Masks. foils and a fetch
ing fencing costume are consequently
enumerated among the almost indispen-
sable articles of a young lady's outfit.
and if, possessing these, she can get her
name inscribed upon the rolls of one of
the swell fencing clubs her success in
life may be considered assured.
The most exclusive Of all these clubs
is probably the Berkeley. whose men,
bershlp comprises some of the younger
set of the very SWEETEST social circles in
the metropolis. Miss Pauline Whitney.
the charming daughter of ex-Secretary
William G. Whitney, is among the mem
berS of the club who are most regular in
attendance, and in the opinion of NJ.
C~apdeville she is one Of his most prom.
Using pupils, though as yet but a begin
ner.
The members of most of the fencing
clubs are governed in the matter of cos
tune solely by their individual tastes,
but the Berkeleyites have adopted a uni
form dress that is simply stunning. The
skirt reaches IA little below the knee, and
the blouse is loose, with turnover cola,
and cuffs. The material is silk pongee
and the deep hem of the skirt and the
edge of the cuffs and collar have a feather
stitching of scarlet silk. About the waist
is worn a belt Of red canvas, with leather
straps and buckle. and the hands are COW
cred with jaunty gauntlets of buff doe
skin. Black silk stockings and tennis
shoes of black suede. with scarlet uppers,
complete a costume which would make
even a plain girl attractive, and which
adds a dainty charm to the loneliness of
some of New York's most beautiful
daughters.

The following is told by Boniface De
Witt of the Riggs House:
DIR. Talmase was preaching at Bell.
vile, n. D., some years ago and one
week he made up his 1Aind to go into the
pulpit the next Sunday without notes on
memoranda Of what he was going to say.
He memOriZed his sermon and believed
he had it completely at his tongues end.
So Sunday night he went to the church
pretty we'll fortified with confidence.
In those days in that section of Jer,
sey churches and hotels and many pri-
vate residences were equipped with pri-
waite gas machines, and the church where
Talmage was to hold forth had one too.
When he got into the pulpit after con
Quoting the preliminary services all
right, he gave out his text. Then he was
Mortified to find that he couldn't think of
a thing to say. He repeated the text a
second time, and yet his ideas failed to
come. He was in agony and began
slowly and impressively to his
text a third time. AS he reached the
last word and the ~perspiration of dread
and shame was beginning to start, the
gas went out and plunged the place into
utter darkness. There was no other
means for lighting the edifice, and when
it was announced that the gas machine
had broken down hopelessly DR.. Tai
mage pronounced the benediction, and |
have heard him say that he never did SO
before or since with greater fervor or
t~hankfulness Of ~spirit."-Washington
