Hut lie Couldn't Make 1t Work.
Lord Southcy once, in a fit of disgust
with life. had a guillotinc erected i'll
the drawing-room of his house i'll the
Rue de Luxembourg. at Paris.
The machine. says the London Mil
lion. wa Il magnificent affair with cb-
ony uprights inlaid with gold and sill
yer. The framework was carved with
great artistic skill, and the knife, of
immense weight and falling at the
touch of a spring, was of ornamcntcd
steel. polished and as sharp as n razor.
The spring which liberated the knife
was placed within easy reach of any
one kucrling upon the scaffold; in
fact, every detail was arranged with a
view to the convenience of the would
be suicide.
The day that the engine of death
was completely finished Lord Southcy
completed his t~estamentary. DISPOSE
tions, shaved. had his hair cut, and,
clothed in a robe of white silk. knelt
upon the platform under the knife.
The guillotinc was placed before a
large mirror wherein the person com

image until the last. Murmuring a
short prayer. Lord Snuthcy placed his
hand In the scmi-circl. and pressed the
spring.
The next morning he was found
| calmly sleeping in his bed The spring
had failed to work, and after several
fruitless efforts Lord Southey was
compelled to %rclinquish his attempt
upon his life. Thoroughly cured of his
spleen he presented the guillntine TO
the Glasgow museum. where he made
an annual pilgrimage To see it until thu
end of his life.

low to Make Sheet. Last Long.

The bed furnishings are the object of
careful consideration in homes where
economy must be rigidly practised and
are strictly watched to defer the ne
cessity for their removal as long as
possible. Material that is wide enough
to obviate the necessity of scanning is
usually selected for sheets; and when
they begin to wear thin down the mid
die, the careful woman does not
wait for holes to make their appear
ance, but splits the sheets at the CEN
ter, neatly overhands the selvedges to-
gether and hens the raw edges. The
outer portions of a sheet are very little
worn, and when they are thus placed
in the middle tire serviceableness OF
the sheet is greatly increased. II
sheets are so badly worn that they can
not be turned in this way, the whole
portions may be used to make bolster

A sick-room that needs cleaning can
be made fresh and sweet without

may be put upon the line for a thor

should be banished because it does no
real good anywhere except to stir up
and redistribute the dust, is especially
ont of place in the sicl1-rOom, where

by the inscrutable caprice of fashion,
it is the furricr's turn to dictate. and
the society womans ignoble part to
meekly succumb. since she must keep
up with the fashion at any cost. Not
to possess some ermine, either as lining,
trimming. muff or collar, is ut once to
be counted out of the race.
Not only is this fur used for outside
garments by the elect of society, but it
is cropping up in bathrooms, taking the
place of mink and sable as trimming
for gowns of heavy satin, brocadcs and
even the lighter, filmy materials used
by younger people. Its use is confined
to no especial age, inasmuch as it is
considered in the present season as APP
