A Sewing Screen.

A novelty for the sewing room, and
it may follow the sewer indeed to any
room of the house where she elects to
pursue her occupation, is sewing
screen. 1t is, in fact, model and
comprehensive work basket. Thescreen
frame is first covered with chintz or
cretonne of some cheerful pattern.
One side of the screen is left plain,
and to the other are attached pockets,
latticework of braid to hold paper
patterns, a pincussion, needlebook,
sagging bands caught down at inter
walls to hold scissors, and, in fact,
everything necessary to supplement
the work Of the seamstress, be she the
busy householder or some one separ-
ately employed for the duty.

Chinese Marriage Customs.

A correspondent offers the following
interesting Chinese custom for publica-
ton: "When a Chinaman desires to
marry, his parents intimate that fact
to q professional matchmaker, who
thereupon runs through list Of her
visiting acquaintenances and selects
one whom she considers a fitting bride
for the young man; and then she calls
upon the young woman's parents,
armed with the bridegroom's card, on
which are inscribed has ancestral name
and the eight symbols which denote
the day Of his birth. If the answer is
an acceptance of his suit, the brides
card is sent in return, and should the
oracles prophecy good concerning the
union, the particulars Of the engage
ment are written on two large cards,
tied together with red cords. Notes
md queries.

The KOla Tut as a Stimulant.

Half a kola nut will, says Mr.. C. F.
Scott Elliott, in his report on the bot
any of Sierra Leone, enable man to
go without food and support great
fatigue for twcnty-four hours OF
more. 1t is an excellent nerve tonic,
and is especially good for keeping the
brain clear and active at night. II
prevents sleep, however, almost too
thoroughly, and should not be taken
less than four hours before bedtime
1t is said to remove Immediately and
thoroughly the unsteadiness and stu
pidity due to drunkenness. 1t grows
freely everywhere, thriyes wherever
planted, seems to require no special
condition of soil and yields at the rate
of $500 per acre, Another property
attributed to this nut is that Of rap
idly clearing foul water and improv-
ing beer. --LnUeUtion.

An excellent homemade cough cpn.
dy that the children will take simply
because it is candy, can be made OF
slippery elm, faXseed and sugar. Soak
gill OF faxseed in half a pint of boil
ing water. In another dishput a emp
full Of broken bits of slippery elm aud
cover this also with boiling water. Lc1
these stand for two hours Then strnin
them both through a muslin cloth into
a saucepan containing one and one
half pounds of graduated sugar Ifx-
tract all the liquor You can, stir tho
sugar until it is melted and then bon
it until it turns candy. Pour it out nj
once when it reaches this point on 20
CREASED papers. This is the old-fash-
toned rule. The candy is more pnlut-
able if the juice Of two lemons is add
ed to it after it has cooked for ton
minutes. Home Companion.
