The watchcase was made OF two

The watchcase was made OF two
circular pieces of cardboard. Joined
together with a strip Of the same ma
terial three-fourths Of an inch wide,
but only three-fourths of the circum-
ference OF the disc in length, the
opening at the top allowing the watch
to slip into the pocket thus formed.
The back and front Of the case
were covered with pale green silk,
and upon the front was painted an
owl, with this motto in irregular let
ters: I'm keep watch" The side
formed the sachet, being oyerlaid with
scented wadding and covered with a
full puff of violet silk, forming ruff
fie at the back. 1t was suspended
by violet ribbon.
The favors at a recent lunch party
were three-cornered sachets of wide
moire apple blossom pink silk. A
square Of the ribbon was folded into
q triangle, with two sides Of the tri-
angle fringed for half an inch. After
filling with scented wadding, the
name of the recipient and the date of
the lunch were painted across in gilt.
A pocket sachet cushion which you
may have to carry in your bag, is
made of two circles Of pasteboard
covered with gold silk laid over
scented wadding and overhanded to-
gether. A spider web is worked on
with brown filoselle; the spiders and
the border are worked solid in .

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
WATERPROOF FOLK.

AIEkPkOof foLk.
I looked from my window,
And, dancing together,
i spied three queer people
Who love the wet weather.
The turtle, the frog, and the duck all
Joined hands
To caper so gaily upon the wet sands.
The turtle was coated
In shell, TO defy
The pattering rain-drops,
And keep him quite dry.
The frog in green jacket was gay as
could be,
my coat will shed water-just see
it," said he.
The duck shook his web-feet
And ruffled his feathers;
Cried he, Rain won't hurt me!
I'm dressed for all weathers.
And when l can see the clouds frown
in the sky
/ oil my gray feathers and keep very
dry!"

ribbon, with two or three thicknesses
of wadding between, well sprinkled
with the violet sachet powder which
she always uses. The ends were
fringed for an inch; the ribbon was
violet in hue and painted with pale
green violet leaves, with their feath-
cry roots and buds nesting among
the leaves.
On the dressing table stood sachet
composed Of four bags, tied about
the necks like sacks of grain. Each

The Bite Of a Tick.

The bite OF Kentucky ticks is some
times fatal. f. A. Tabor was bitten
by tick with very peculiar and
nearly fatal results. He was sitting
in drug store when he felt n sting
ing sensation under bis clothes, and,
upon it's increasing to an acute pain,
he retired TO investigate the cause
and found tick with his head inn
beddcd i'm the flesh. He removed the
intruder, but the venOmous little in
sect had left It's poison and with the
velocity Of the circulation IL was dis
semnated through his system. His
nose was the first member affected.
1t became n fiery red streaked with
bright green, and swelled rapidly
until il reached the size Of n large
tumblcr. His eyes were angrily in
famed and emitted an intense heat.
His face was quickly swollen and
fiercely cOnvulsed with most excru-
ciating pain. Terrible convulsons
seized his body and he was writhing
i'm agony that seemed TO fOrebode the
death struggle when n physician ar
rived and with much difficulty re-
lieved his suffering. After short
while he recovered sufficiently TO go
home, but he was very weak and
showed plainly in his haggard face
and extreme nervousness the effects
OF his violent sickness. The tick was
an ordinary dog-tick, but for viru-
lence Of its poison it surpasses any Of
It's kind ever heard Of Atlanta

up like "a bag, the ends fringed and
tied with narrow ribbon of con-
trasting color. Besides the wadding
and sachet powder with which these
were filled, each had little shot in
the bottom 20 act as a weight and
keep them standing upright. The
four bags, two OF pale green and two
OF violet, were inclined slightly to-
ward each other at the top and were
tied together with pale green and
violet baby ribbon.

A Minnesota man has recently pat

perfected veritable unicycle, which

"Charlcy's Aunt at the Providence
Opera House.

"Charley's Aunt at the Providence
Opera House.
"Charley's Aunt" one of the funniest
plays OF recent years, will be seen at the
Providence Opera House all next week
One Of the funniest scenes in the whole
funny play Is where Charley's aunt, being
left alone, tries TO get the smoke he had
been suffering for. He gets his cigar,
he lights 1t, and puts his hands in
his pockets, and anything funnier than
the combination of dress, manner and act
II would be difficult to imagine. II is
funnier still whensthe real aunt enters
suddenly and the bogus aunt Grams the
lighted cigar in his pocket. "Why, seems
TO me i smell smoke" says the real
aunt. "No," is the quick reply; " have
you 2" and the laugh is scored for the
" Charley's Aunt" in all the glory of
trousers and petticoats to realize how
excruciating IL is. 1t is announced that
the young Englishman who is playing
:. Charley's Aunt" from Brazil, ''where
the nuts come FROM" is clever
football player. Well, he runs
well, for on the stage one
evening not long ago, in Boston, when by
some accident he was little late in get
ting ready for the last act, he went on
his way to the prompt side, with a fresh
shirt over his arm for the quick change in
the act. He had his petticoats raised in
both hands, and running at a good gait,
settled down toward the ground for a
long reach in a manner that was very
funny. Nearly every situation in the
whole farce is mirth-provoking and you
uon't have to use spy glass to see jokes.

TRADE REVIEW.
Shows Some Strength in Spite
OF Adverse Circumstances.
Signs Of Improvement Large De-
crease in Liabilities in Failures.
by The Associated Press

NEW YORK. May 5.-R. G.. Dun a. Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says il is now,
rs it has been for nearly year. the
amazement of intelligent observers
that the United States suffers so little
from reverses which other lands share,
but which fall more heavily here than
anywhere else.
With numerous riots, strikes OF thou
sands OF men in various employments
stoppage of many manufacturing works
in consequence, arrest of traffic on several
great railroads by lawless proceedings,
and the tramping of discontented men, in
all numbering several thousand, toward
the national capital in the hope of control
ling legislation; the lowest price ever
known for wheat and almost the lowest
prices ever known for commodities as
whole, exports of S., 400. 900 gold. instead of
abnormally cheapened products, and the
fall of the treasury gold reserve below the
800. .00O. 600 limit are significant of wide
spread difficulty.
Yet, the volume Of business is but 1913
per cent less than year ago In some
directions signs of improvement appear
even now, and the sublime faith of the
people in their future is shown in the
general belief that strikes and disorders
will quickly disappear.
Encouraging Features
The shoe industry, which has fallen be-
hind the shipments of last year only 12
per cent in April, is somewhat less active
than of late, but fair business is re-
ported in heavy shoes and some improve
ment in the demand for women's wear.
Another point of encouragement is the
heavy buying of wool, amounting to
6.492 600 pounds for the week at three
chief markets. against 1861. 900 last year,
and in April sales were 1888. .95S pounds,
against 1895, $50 last year. Wool aver
ages for l04 grades only 1873 cents, and
figures given elsewhere indicate that
more than lOe.000.000 pounds of old wool
still remains in the country, mainly in the
hands of farmers Producers of cotton
goods also find weak markets, but nearly
all continue in operation.
The enormous unsold stock of wheat.
which has made lower average of
prices in February, March and April than
was ever known in any previous month,
has depressed May wheat to the lowest
point on record, although western re-
,eipts were only 1850, 736 bushels, against
!. ass. .050 last year, and Atlantic exports
!, ,l43, ,2s5, against 1,5ls,9 last year. The
decline for SPOT has been slight, with no
change for July. Corn yielded IA, ex- |
,orts falling suddenly below, while west |
'rn receipts nearly doubled last years,
md pork products were lower.
Cotton speculators, who have seen
arger receipts from plantations in April
han year ago. have lost faith and grip
With favoring accounts of acreage planted,
nd the price declined one-eighth.
