Patching the Table Linen.

Tablecloths, unless the breaks are
quite small, should be patched when
holes appear. First haste a square of
the same material under the hole, then
cut the edges of the hole even, turn
under and hem down to the patch as
neatly as possible. Then turn the
cloth on the wrong side and hem the
patch down to it in the same manner
This adds IA neat finish to both sides,
and the cloth will be fat when ironed
If there is Q figure, stripe or any given
pattern try and match it when patch
ing. Always mend before washing,
for you cannot do so well afterwards,
as the washing and ironing stiffens the
edges of tho tears.

The United States court of appeals at
its recent sitting in St Louis decided a
case which was appealed from the
United States district court here, which
is*of special interest to all lawyers and
news paper amen.
In the case of Levi Wilson and Marie
Wilson vs.. che Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance company, the sale of certain
real estate was contested on the ground
that the publication notice required by
law had nos been complied with.
In this case the law required 3 pre-
vipus publication of once week for four
weeks.

first November 10, 1898; Second, Friday,
November il. 1898; Third, Friday. No

The sale was made December as 2 p.
no and was confirmed in the lower
courts. bat she court of appeals decided
that the Law for previous publication
was not complied with as the four weeks

THE FINISHED BASKET AND DIAGRAM-
hexagon is one inch smaller all round
than the last.
When they are all cut, scallop the
edges of each with white silk, and
work a row of fine tree-stitching with
in the edge. When that is done the
basket wiz be ready to put together.
To do this, first lay the largest piece
upon the table, and the second in size
upon it, so that the points fall mid
way of the. straight edges of the first,
as the diagram shows When you
have adjusted it exactly haste it into
place, then stitch it fast to the larger
piece along the dotted lines, or from
the points 1, 2, D, 8, 4, and c to the
center. Then on these two lay the
third and smallest piece in the same
way, and again stitch from each of it's
points to the center; but take care to
sew through only the upper two. The
under piece must be left free.
When all the pieces are in place, and
all have been stitched, sew a small
brass ring to the center of each of the
sides of the smallest hexagon, and
through them run either silk cord or
narrow ribbon. Whichever it may be
let it be little longer than the COM
bined distance between the rings, and
when you draw it up and hang it upon
& hook, you will find a perfect basket
like the one the drawing shows.
: The directions may sound slightly
complicated, but if once you begin you
will find the work as simple as can be.
The pockets formed by drawing up the
cord are deep and quite sufficiently
ample; together they will hold the ma
teria1 for many hours work. The one
drawback to leaving the string free is
that the basket must always hang If
you simple knot either the ribbon or
cord after it is drawn up it can be more
easily carried about, and the basket
can be placed upon a table if desired.
It is designed to hang, and always looks
prettiest in that position, but the abil-
ity to change so useful an object from
place to place is always a convenience,
and for that reason it is wiser to knot
the ribboI or cord,-Harper's Young

THE UNWORTHY POOR.
What Shall Be Done With Them and
Their Children.
"A New Years Study. !

"Charity suffereth long, and is kind"
yet even charity has a few grudges,
necessitating the companionsfsip of stoi-
cal prudence in her ministries. She has a
grudge against the man who begs
t1uently with tears, and then barriers her
good gifts for liquor.
She has gru1ge against uncovered
floors and unpatched garments She has
a grudge against the woman who throws
away soiled clothing, to save the wash
ing, and begs more. Another against
the chronic drone, and unbcunded lndig
nation for beggars whose boast is their
evasion of social laws.
- And now is charity in a quandary:
These classes are here with US, and here
to stay, ''until death do us part'-she de-
spises to encourage their vices by helping
them to live on in such manne-she dare
not let them die.
Should she let the vilest prodigate die
of hunger, humanity would discharge
her at once Yet year after year these
parasites are sapping the very life from
her legitimate charges Year after year
anathemas are pronounced on her for
helping the unworthy. They whose bounty
she disburses have said: "lhis is for
the worthy poor" therefore it is the
property of the worthy poor. The some
times gifts for the suffering poor will
not suffice. Charity decides she must b e
just and let the thrlftless and immoral
suffer the reward of their own doings.
Then the wretched, pleading faces of
the children of these break her resolu-
.tiOns. Her Indignation is then kindled
against parents whose vices subject their
offspring to such misery and contempt
Straightway marches up a long line of
''mig ht.have- beens" and ''perhapses."
She sees the CALLING chains of igno-
rance, misfortune, inherited imbecility!
She sees, too, that with their. undevel =
oped, maiden strength they cannot rise
above their environments. They cannot
cope with modern thrift and intelligence.
AS they are crowded out" of the
city to the most miserable sub
u bs. so they are crowded OUT
of all social and industrial life.
Charity knows some lamenta BILE causes
for all this in the short ghtedness of
our city fathers in other years-that
may not now be named They might be
helped. They are susceptible to good
influence. Charity remembers once see
ing tw puny little mnles Juggling vainly
at great clumsy vehicle mired in a
slough. From the highlands came a
strong team and a strong hearted man.
And now she is looking for the strong
hearted man and the strong tea III to help
out the black-listed poor who are ready
to perish. There is abundant help in our
city churches and clubs and societies if
it would only come out Soma work in
this line is being done. The strong
hearted man might have stayed in his
house and the strong team in the barn
and pitied the weak mules under the
lash until they persisted in the mud.

TIMELY HEALTH HINTS.

AN open fire is most valuable in an
inyalid's room, especially in a case OF
contagious disease, as it is constantly
purifying the air by drawing it up the
chimney.
To sTERuIzE milk for babies or In
valids, let it stand till cool in a clean,
cold place. remove about half the
cream, put in a double boiler and let
the water: boil around it for half an
hour or longer.
FoR earache put live coal from
wood fire into a cup, sprinkle eea-
spoonful of granulated sugar over it
and invert a small funnel over the cup,
putting the small end into the ear. Be
careful that it does not blaze up The
smoke deadens the pain almost in
stantly.
For a cold in the head when first felt
take from ten to fifteen drops of cam
phor on lump of sugar; a very simple
remedy, but the most effectua1 known
to medical science. Never take it in
water; it precipitates gum which is
an irritant to the stomach and causes
vomiting.
Do NOT let the baby sleep with its
mouth open and thus acquire such a
bad habit. See that its nostrils are
clear, then gently press the lips to-
gether; place it on its side, smooth out
its ear and the creases in the pillow
case. People who snore are those who
were allowed to sleep with their
mouths open when they were babies.
If the nostrils are not properly dilated
in childhood they do not enlarge with
the growth, and breathing through
them is more difficult.-Farm Journal.

USEFUL LITTLE BASKET.
a Charming Bit of Fancy Work for
Bright Young Girls.

A Charming Bit of Fancy Work for
Bright Young Girls.
A charming little basket that might
be made from heavy colored linen. If
any of you girls are in doubt as to what
gift you can offer to mamma or to your
sister, this pretty trife will help to
solve the problem 1t is so simple that
any of you can make it, and it is both
convenient and attractive when fin
ished. II becomes a dainty little
basket with pockets for buttons,
thread, ard all a needlewoman's par
aphernalia when it is hung from a hook,
and it lies perfectly fat when the
string is let out. Hence it is easy to
pack, and; takes up no room in the
trunk, for which reason it is a travellers
friend, and so deserves its second name.
Heavy linen, either blue, old-pinlz, or
sage-green, makes the best material of
all, and you will require just three
quarters of yard of the twenty-four
or twenty-seven-inch width, and half
a yard of the thirty-six-inch width to
cut all the parts. The basket consists
of three hexagons, as the diagram
shows, anG its success depends entirely
upon the peatness and exactneSs with
which you do the work.
Cut the three pieces carefully, and
let the largest measure fifteen inches
from A to B; the second, thirteen from
c to D; and the third, eleven from E
to E. Then you will find that each
