as at least 5000 pairs per annum are

quite a booming industry The leather

ter Columbus discovered the new world
that the first voyage around the globe
was made. April 13. 1796, the already
celebrated English navigator. Captain
Cook, sailed from the tight little isle on
a voyage Of discovery. His ship was the
"Endeavor." Of $40 tons, about one-thir
tieth the size Of tho largest ocean going
steamers Of the present day. and yet he
sailed away as confidently as our sum-
mer tourists now start for tour Of Eu-
rope. June IL, III, he returned to Eng
land to be knighted and to have his
name written on the uudying roll Of
fame. Eight years later he was killed
by the natives Of Hawaii while attempt
to regain his boat after slight misun-
derstanding with the dusky islanders.

journies with the trips made by Nellie

WORK Thai NouRIsHEs.
Under Ripe Conditions Toll Develops ~
Truly as Exercise.

Under Ripe Conditions Toll Develops -
Truly as Exercise.
One of the secrets of life of grow
ing power is to be nourished rather
than depleted by ones work Activity
is healthful; strain is harmful Men do
not die of overworlx, but of maladjust-
ment to the conditions of their work;
for under ripe conditions work devel-
ops just as truly as exercise, but under
wrong conditions it depletes and de-
stroys. The great workers of the
world have accumulated force rather
than parted with it, and have gath
cred richness of material and the power
of action by the putting forth of their
energies; 80 that their lives have moved
toward elimination rather than come
to an early fruition followed by long
decline. 1t is easy to detect the differ
ence between the man who is fed by
his work and the man who is drsirad
by it. There is an ease, force and a
zest about the work that nourishes,
which is never long characteristic of
the work that depletes; for the essen
sential of the work which nourishes is
its free and unimpeded expression of
the personality of the worker. 1t is the
overflow of his own personal energy
and not the strenuous putting forth of
toilsome effort. 1t is significant that
the great artists, as a rule, are inn
mensely productive. Michael Angelo,
Raphael, Rubens, Shakespeare, Bolzac
and men of their class attest their
genius not only by the quality of their
work but by its quantity also. This
means that they have secured the right
adjustments to their conditions, and
that work, instead of being drain,
nourishes and develops the worker.
The man who works with delight and
ease grows by means of his activity,
aud the first secret to be learned in
order to rid work of worry and wear is
to take it in reposeful spirit, to re-
fuse to be hurried, to exchange the
sense Of being mastered by ones occu-
patton for the consciousness of mastery.
To take work easily and quietly, not
because one is Indifferent to it, but be-
cause one is fully equal to 1t, is to take
the first step towards turning work
into play.-Outlook.

The Rest-Dressed Woman.

The best-dressed woman in the world
is said to be Queen Marguerite of Italy.
Her wardrobe includes countless va
riety of elegant costumes, and she sell
dom wears a dress more than once.
This is not quite such recklessly ex-
travagant proceeding as it first APP
pears, for the queen sells her gowns to
buyers, who are very glad to get them,
even at the high prices which are
charged for them. In this connection
there is a pretty story told. Not long
since Queen Marguerite asked her
royal consort for his opinion as to
whether she was still young enough to
wear her favorite costume of white
muslin. His majesty replied; This
matter requires reflection" Two weeks
later box was carried to the queens
apartments; when it was opened the
box was found to be filled with white
gowns which King Humbert had or
dered

most of the effect depends upon the
colors and materials employed for it,
Of course it is made up on founda-
ton of stout cardboard, which is cut
into diamond shape and used with
one point uppermost, the brush being
slipped into loop specially made for
it. Cut a piece of MORE, or of satin, or
velvet, or plush, for the front, just
about one-half inch larger all round
than the cardboard. Cut also band
of buckram about two inches wide,
and three inches longer than will
stretch acrose the diamond horizontal
ly from point to point. Cover this buck
ram with plush or velvet to accord with
the rest of the covering, and line the
middle of this band with a scrap Of
silk; the ends need not be thus lined.
Sew a number Of little imitation gems,
or large spangles, at equal distances
along the center of this band, and add
some small pompons or drops of some
kind to the lower edge. Lay this band
across the center of the satin from
point to point, sew it down firmly at
each end from the wrong side, but
leave the exact middle of the band
slack so that the handle of the brush
will slip easily into it. The reason for
lining the middle part of the band is
now obvious.
Now stretch the satin very tightly
over the cardboard, drawing the raw
edges together on the wrong side with
lacing stitches of strong thread. Be
careful to get the band in the middle
quite straight, for the holder will be
anything but ornamental If this is
crooked. 1t is as we'll to add the cord
round the edges below the band, the
bow at the tip of the point, and the ring
to hang the holder up by, before lining
the back neatly with sateen or a piece
of plain silk.
1t is quite possible to make up the
feather brush itself at home, If the
worker is anxious for the whole thing
to be of her own workmanship, or if
she happens to have q number of fancy
feathers that she would like to use up.
A turned" stick is needed which may
either be gilded or enamelled Take
the shortest of the feathers and arrange
them with the tips downward round the
lower edge of the stick. Tie them firmly
in place with some fine Irvine, and glue
this well to prevent it from coming un-
tied. Add a second set of feathers
rather longer than the others, and Sc
cure them also with fine Irvine, gluing
this as before. Continue this until the
brush is full enough, and hide the ends
of the last set of feathers with sugar
paper shaped piece Of velvet, secured
here and there with touch of glue, and
having band of wide gold braid tackled
round the upper edge to hide the place
where the velvet and stick meet. The
lower edge of the velvet should be van
dyked. 1t is a good plan to use kid or
leather instead of velvet, aud there
should be no difficulty in getting this
of good and suitable color, as many
bookbinders will dispose of scraps left
over from their own work

Mats for the Table.

1t is too bad to have ones polished
tables and stands covered with little
rings where vase has stood and the
water has overf1owed There is no
need of this, either. Everybody should
have on hand an abundant supply of
these mats. These need not be obtru-
sive in design. In fact, no one wants
any more the elaborate CONNECTION that
were once won't to call attention to
their crocheted splendors In our draw
ing rooms. Make the latter-day vase
mats of small rounds of olive-green
felt, preferably not ornamented at all
except for ''pinked' border. No one
will notice them, but they will keep
your rosewood and mahogany from
harm.
