Braiding Design.

Close braiding designs are seen on
silk goods traced in silk cord. while
the cord is sometimes in varying
shades, and is enriched with beads or
spangles, giving an extremely elabor-
ate effect, particularly suitable for
wraps intended for ceremonious occa-
sions. Silk corded patterns are also
used as a garniture on fine wool cos

mother and the kids?"
Poorly enough" answered Roxy.
~ left them all asleep. Father hasn't
come home"
~ hope he'll not be caught out in
this storm" said Jack, as he hurried
away to ring the church bell to rouse
the villagers.
Climbing back over the cliff, Roxy
gained the cottage and found all fast
asleep as she had left them. Once
more she went up to the attic window.
She could see dark forms moving along
the shore, then by the glare Of the
lightning she beheld the boat pushed
out in the angry sea. With sigh of
relief she slipped back to her bed, not
to sleep, but to gather little needed
warmth, for her teeth were chattering
with cold. Soon she was up again,
and from her perch by the window
watched the boat emptying its freight
of human beings upon the shore. Back
and forth among the pillows went the
life-saving boat, until every soul in
the doomed ship, four score in all, had
been landed in sight of the treacher-
Gus rocks that came so nearly proving
a grave.
After all was over, and Roxy had
crept back shivering to bed, firm,
quick step came up the path to the
house, and light knock at the back
door told the little girl that her father
was seeking admittance.
"What a brave little treasure you
are, my Roxy!" he said, pressing the
child to his heart "Your name ought
to be Grace Darling"
"No, no, father, am not brave at
all. only awakened brave men to
go to the rescue of those who were
perishing," Roxy insisted.
"But for you, my Roxy, eighty dead
bodies, and mine one of them, would
now be lying in the bottom of the
sea" her father urged.
"You, father! thought you were
out in your fishing vessel"
~ was; but the storm was dreadful
My boat was washed out to sea and
the good ship Mary Ann picked me
up"
"Then it was the Mary Ann that was
driven upon the rocks" cried Roxy.
"That was the name of the proud
vessel that now lies deep under the
waves. In trying to befriend strang-
ers, you saved your father"
81 thought of you, father" said
Roxy, clinging to him. Eyes, 1

"Like Mary of old, and, like her,
you'll not be forgotten by-and-by,

stars, >" said her father.
Before another night came on there
was happiness in the little home on
the cliff, for mother was better and
father was safe at home, and eighty
souls had been sent on their way re-
joicing because one little maiden had

Trees Five Thousand Years Old.

The oldest as well as the most in
teresting botanical monuments now
growing upon the earth are the bao-
bah or sour ground trees of Africa.
This remarkable tree has a short,
branching trunk which seldom at
tains height of over seventy feet,
while its diameter is often as great as
eighty or 100 feet. Adanson, the nat
uralist, who gave the genus its botan-
ical name, calculating from scientific
data, says that the age of some of the
oldest of these trees is little If any
short of 5000 years. The hollow
trunks of these forest giants, which
are often of a capacity sufficient to
furnish room for forty or fifty bodies,
are used as tombs by the native Afri-
cans, who suspend the remains of
their departed friends and relatives on
hooks fastened upon the interior of
such trees for that purpose.

Kites.

There are of course many different
shapes and kinds of kites, but there
are not many which can be relied
upon, and these few are the only
ones that it will be worth our while
discussing. The very best working
kite, and the easiest to make, is the
cross kite. To make this take two
pine sticks, one measuring 319 feet,
and the other two feet, and cross
them at right angles IL feet below
the top of the kite. The two sticks
should be HxN inches in diane ter,
tapering to AxA inches at the ex-
tremities. Lash them together with
strong cord (waxed). Half an inch
from the top of each stick bore small
hole. Pass strong cord through one
of the holes and tie it around the end
of the sticks, pass to the end Of the
next stick and fasten, and so on en-
tirely around the outer edge of the
frame. Regarding the cover
ing of kite, do not use paper, but
substantial paper-muslin, which can
be bought of any color you desire.
Turn your cloth over the edges of the
string and sew twice around (this
takes away all danger of ripping).
The fine point in making kite fly
we'll is in the hanging of the chest
band. In the cross kite the chest
band has four leaders so that they
will meet about three feet from the
kite, and all the strain will be divided
equally among them. BY tightening
the leaders more on one side than on
the other a kite can be made to veer
to either side as desired. By this
means one person can handle three
small kites, and have the three strings
lead to one point. The top or bow
kite is made the same as the cross
kite, but has in addition the half of a
split -four barrel hoop; this is dashed
to the top and ends of the crosspiece.

VIENNA. June 1.-Dr. wekerle. whose
resignation of the Hungarian premiership
was rendered yesterday. conferred today

who was specially summoned to Vienna.
The ban then had an audience of Emperor

When DIR. Wekerle rendered the resigna-
ton of the cabinet both the emperor and
Count Won Kalnoky, the imperial minister
OF foreign affairs. implored him to recon-
slider his determination to resign. They
asked him to postpone the question Of pass

range compromise. DR.. Wekerle refused
to do this. and emphatically declined to re-

A Decoration Day Drunk.

Henry Colbert. a colored man EMPLOYED

and this was the defense made by counsel
when the case was heard in Judge Miller's

THE WALTERS COCKTAIL.
And How He Obtained 1t Against the
Rules of the Hotel.

From the New York Herald.
In a swell hotel on Broadway, not far
from Herald square, the head walter is not
allowed to indulge in bibulous refreshments
during the hours he is on duty. The other
evening he was filled with an irrepressible
longing for cocktail He managed to get
1t with such ease that it was evidently a
well tried and efficacious trick.
His method can be best understood by
quoting the waiter:
''Shure, we're not charging yes for a
cocktail whispered a waiter to a young
gentleman to whom he had just brought a
check, but the head waiter wanted a cock
tail and thought yous would be the wan
who would moind least having 1t put on to
yes bill. You see," whispered the waiter
confidentially, "he couldn't put it onto the
bill of the gists in the house. they might
remark it, so he had to put it onto the bill
of somebody who came in from the strate.
III bring yes the twinty cents back And
thank yes fur the accommoda tion."
The head waiter has either discerned
that you are man with liberal and SYM
pathetic disposition or one who knows how
good cocktail tastes and how bad a man
wants 1t when you cannot get it," remarked
the young lady who was dining with the
gentleman who the head waiter rightly
singled out as a possible friend to a fellow
in need of sprituous consolation.

Underground river. and then the drainage

then the prairie goes wet" In the neigh

OF these sinks, all of them as round as a

as the result Of carelessness, but IN either
case IL is violation of the contract. and
calls for prompt action on your part TO pre-

In this connection the Commissioners call
attention TO the clauses in the general stipu-
