Heads That Titles Turn.

In London society float about many funny
stories of people whose heads are turned by
the acquisition of small title bestowed by
royalty in the progress Of some official
function. One is told Of the wife Of city
magnate who bought a country place and
was finally knighted. The lady was of
very humble origin, and her elevation was
too much for her. The clergyman Of the
village-a scion Of noble family-ealled
upon the new knight to congratulate him
and was kept waiting in the drawing room
for some 20 minutes. Then the door WAS
flung open by powdered turnkey, who.
ushering in the fat and fiorid mistress Of
the house, bawled out at the top Of his
voice, The Lady Jones!'
Not long ago the wife Of another new
made knight was greatly aggrieved at re-
ceiving on the very day this dignity was
conferred letter naturally enough ad-
dressed to Mrs. So-and-so." She proceed

SHE IS FOND OF CATS.
Therefore Mrs. Edwards Kills Those She
Cannot Make Comfortable.

A peculiar mission in life is that adopted
by Mrs. Sarah j. Edwards, a New York
widow, who devotes her time, money and
sympathy to making things pleasant for
cats. Mrs. Edwards is not rich, but what
money she has is cheerfully spent in philan

ably china silk, silk tapestry, felt and
serge, but the plush and cretonne will
be found the most satisfactory.
A table should be from "a to 90 inches
high and not over 36 inches in length,
Is by "a inches being very convenient
size. Let the top project two or three
inches all around and be seven-eighths
of an inch in thickness. Have the ma
terial drawn tightly around the legs,
the seams being tackled neatly on the in
side. The shelf and top should be slight
ly padded with a thickness or two Of
canton flannel before putting ON the
cloth. Finish off the edge with brass
headed nails, adding the fringe as
shown. The legs may be studded with
fancy shaped brass nails placed at in
tervals. The legs may be square, round
or octagonal, as one may elect.
There are many old tables that may
be given new lease of usefulness by
fixing up in the manner here described
or by painting or bronzing the legs and
covering the top and frame with some
pretty, bright looking textile. Small
tables particularly present excellent OPP
portunities for experiments in this di-
rection. 1t matters but little what the
shape may be or how discouraging the
condition, wonders can be worked with
paint, bronze and upholstery stuffs in
the nimble fingers of one possessing a
fair degree of good taste and discrimi-
nation in the choice of color.
Very pretty odd chairs can be fash
toned in like manner, silk plush being
the best material with which to cover
them. This may be plain or embroidered.
One of the most effective methods is to
upholster in one color, using another
color in applique" work to form the
design, then outlining with gold bull

A Good Vinegar Pickle.

Pickles are prepared by first soaking
in strong brine, then draining, drying
and pouring hot spiced vinegar over
them.
Prepare the vinegar pickle as follows:
For every quart of vinegar take 2 tea
spoonfuls of cinnamon, 2 teaspoonfuls
of cloves, teaspoonful of mace, d tea
spoonful of celery seed, few pieces of
horse radish, an ounce of mustard seed,
saltspoonful of black pepper, Il pinch
of red pepper and cup of sugar. Mix
the spices together dry, wet them to a
paste with a little vinegar, lay in the
center of square of muslin and gather
into bag. Heat the vinegar to boiling
point. put in the spices and sugar and
boil for Is minutes. Drain the pickles.

hope that the wash of the sea might
propel the cabin toward land without
putting undue strain upon the line. But
in spite of the precaution the line part
ed, and the cabin was again swept out
of reach.
The gun was promptly reloaded and
heavier line fired. The light lines We're
all in the surf, and besides the cabin
had been towed inshore a considerable
distance from its first position. Hence
it was possible for a shot to carry a
heavier line to it. But the growing
darkness and varying wind added to the
difficulty of firing the line, especially
as the target was very small and not
visible more than few seconds at any
one time. The line next fired passed to
the leeward of the wreck and had to be
hauled in and fred again. The second
time it fell just out of the mans reach
1t was again hauled in, but before it
could be fired a third time the slender
cabin was dashed to pieces-by huge
breaker striking it full force Nothing
was seen of the unfortunate man when
the remains of his unlucky craft again
rose into view upon the waves, but one
of the life savers, fastening line around
his waist, heroically plunged into the
surf and swan to the scattered wreck
age. 1t was too late, however. The man
had sunk out of sight.
Meanwhile the masts and spars, with
portions of the schooner's upper works,
had been carried farther and farther
from shore beyond the reach of the line
gun. With the exception of the two
men sighted upon this mass and at whom
the first line had been directed, no sign
Of living sailors had been seen. The
cabin wreckage drifted ashore after
time, but it showed no trace of the I'M
fortunate who had chung to it with the
best of prospects when first cast upon
the sea.
A strict patrol was maintained on
the beach night and day until the seas
abated, but nothing unusual drifted
ashore. A party of wreckers examined
the schooner's hull, which remained
imbedded in the sand where it struck,
and by saving out her stern planks she
was identified as the John Gray, from
New York, bound to Washington. She
had registered a crew of six men all
told, and it was believed that that num-

For five months after this attempt
the ram lay off Plymouth, where she
was found at the wharf ON the 9th of
October by Lieutenant w. B. Cushing
Of the navy and effectually destroyed.
The deed is unparalleled in the annals
of war
After the luckless battles of the feet
with the ram, Admiral S. P. Lee, COM
mander of the north Atlantic squadron,
mentioned the case to Gushing, and he
proposed two plans for her destruction.
The first plan was to steal upon the ves-
Sci with a boarding party at night; the
second, to destroy her with spar torpe
does attached to small swift boats.
These plans did not appear to please
the navy department at Washington,
but Gushing was SO heartily Endorsed by
his immediate superiors that he was
provided with means to go ahead.
Cushing found two launches in New
York harbor which he fitted ont and
provided with torpedoes and all the
rigging for placing and exploding them.
The boats, which We're open launches
with steam propellers, were taken
through canals to Chesapeake bay, and
one was lost in the bay, so that the prof.
ect was carried out with half the force
originally intended. From the Chesa-
peake into the sounds the route was by
canal, and at times the boat had to be
borne on scow. owing to the shallow
water. The crew of the boat were vol
unteers, and Gushing enjoyed their alb
solute confidence, without which he
must have failed. They were now in
the enemy's country, without protec-
ton and only handful in themselves
The men who took part at this time
numbered seven in all. Great secrecy
was necessary to prevent the inhabitants
who saw the strange expedition moving
southwark from informing the enemy,
and several ruses were employed to this
end.
Toward the latter part Of October
Cushing reached the sound near the
mouth of the Roanoke, and here he laid
his plans before his compani ons and
