The Snow Washed OFF.

The hard rain on Saturday night
washed the snow and ice off the
ground and Sunday the earth was
visible for the first time since Dec.
%. Fortunately the rain was hard
enough to settle the ground at the
same time and so we got rid of the
snow without the usual slush. Let
us hope we may have no more of it
this winter.

To Make an Oriental Sofa.

An unused single white iron bed has been put to use and disguised in very clever way by a lady living in Q very small fiat. In one corner, against the old blue of the wall, has been hung a width of dull red cotten, and into this corner has been thrust the bed. Across the mattress is thrown curtain of dull embroidery. Against the wall, about third of the way from the head of the bed, has been fastened an iron crane of curious pattern, from the end of which hangs quaint eastern lamp. Over the crane is thrown a long piece of richly embroidered silken drapery, the ends of the drapery falling over and concealing either end of the bed. 1nnumerable pillows of bright hues bestrew this originally planned sofa, and no more desirable suggestion of the orient is to be found anywhere.

If these be selected with free, but not too lavish, use of gliding, the effect is very gay and rich.

first row plain. Second row-Insert the needle in the first stitch as if about to knit, put the wool over the point of the needle and around the first finger of the left hand twice, then wool again over the needle, and knit the stitch in the usual manner, drawing all three threads of wool through, knit the other stitches in the same way.
 Third row-Plain knitting. Fourth row-Looped knitting the same as di- rected for the second row, but decrease in the middle of the row by knitting two stitches together. Fifth row Plain. Repeat the last two rows till you have only eleven stitches on the needle, and cast off. This is the front of the slipper. Now holding the looped side of the knitting towards you, pick up twelve of the cast on stitches, knit ting each stitch as you pick it up. Knit one row of looped knitting and one row of plain knitting, alternately, till you have a piece long enough to reach around the heel and to join on to the other side of the front. Next make the frill round the ankle by casting on four stitches and knitting in the same man. ner piece sufficient to go round the top of the slipper, sew it on so that the loops come on the outside. Now neatly bind the sole with piece of narrow ribbon, and sew the work on to it. Finish with nice bow of satin ribbon on the instep.-Farm, Field and Fire side.

Rattiers as Household Pets.

All this occurred near Scottsburg, Ind: Dennis Richey has a large rat tlesnake he calls She. Mir. Richey and family live on Finley's Knob. He cap- tured the snake and its mate about a year ago. He has kept them in a close cage to prevent harm. Last Sunday She crept from her cage while the family were asleep. At 9 a. m. Mrs. Richey was awakened by the crying of her baby. She reached over and there was the sound of something dropping from the cradle to the floor. Mir. Richey, also hearing an unusual noise, arose from his bed and started to in. vestigate. In doing so he stepped upon She, which sounded its warning, but strangely did not strike. As the snake wriggled upon the floor MT. Richey, without forked stick or gloves, caught her and returned her to the cage. Then he found that its mate, Jumbo, had es- capped, and after a search he found the rattler and caught it in the same man. ner. Mir. and Mrs. Richey have abso- solutely no fear of their pets, and de- clare that there is no danger of being bitten by them.

WOMAN AND HOME.
CHlLDREN'S FACES.

You bring me peace, O innocent child facesl With your clear, questioning eyes, Your fairy forms your sweet, unconscious
 graces,
 Your lips where laughter lies. Out In the world too long, grow heart-weary, But in these leisure days, Throwing aside the old routine so dreary, join the children's plays. What fun we havel What skating and what
 racing
 Out in the frost and snowi What battling with the north wind, keen and
 bracing
 That sets the blood aglowl In twilight, round my chair they love to gather, ID hear the story told Heroic tales of many crave forefather In stirring days of old. ofttimes pass the room where they are lying, Each in a snowy bed, And hear my little name-child sweetiy trying To pray for Uncle Fred" God bless the children with their rosy faces! Their eyes like truths clear wells, Their loving hearts, their many Heavenly
 graceS,
 Their lips, where laughter dwells. R A McWilliam, in Demorest's Magazine,

How to Treat Ink Spots.

Ink stains are hard to deal with, but mnch may be accomplished if they are only treated in time. One good remedy is to tear plotting paper to pieces and hold the rough edges on the ink when it is freshly spilled. If there is nc plotting paper at hand cover the spo, with Indian meal, or liquid ink may be absorbed by cotton batting. When ink Is spilled the first care should be tc prevent it from spreading. Another way of preventing ink stains is to i'm mediately wash the stained article ip several waters and then in milk, letting it soak in the milk for several hours, Another manner of removing all or, dinary ink stains is to wash the article immediately in vinegar and water and then in soap and water. No matter what is used for removing the ink, the stain must be rubbed well.

places which no boy should ever see. They hear language which should never fall upon the ear of boy or man. They become pert and not unlike some of the fresh newsboys upon the streets of our great cities Of course, the little fellows who have homes here and parents or mothers to look after them, are not led far astray. Good boys are as amenable to good advice as they are to bad examples. But, as general rule, pageship in the house is not position to be sought for a good boy, by his parents or friends. It is demoralizing way of beginning life, In fact, this is not a city to be com mended as a superior place 3or raising children. The hours of work in the executive departments are so few, and the hours of labor at the capitol are so few, that young men growing up here absorb the impression that good sal aries should forever be found for light work. In the great worS-a-day world, this is not the case. Therefore, boys raised here, whether in the capitol, or in the vicinity of the departments, com. mence life with erroneous impressions. To them, lives of toll are obnoxious. They naturally seek easy avenues of livelihood: and those avenues are usually unworthy. For this reason, even senate pageship may not be re- garded as altogether desirable for a youth. SMITH D. FRY.

Especially Adapted for Wear In the Even-

 No one should sleep with cold feet. Nothing is so detrimental to good health or refreshing sleep. If the feet are cold on going to bed, knit or crocheted bed room slippers should be worn. They may be made of any color desired; a dark wine color, scarlet or dark gray are all serviceable. For our readers who prefer knitting to crocheting, the slipper here illustrated is good model. 1t is more especially adapted for wear at night as suggested, being high around the ankle.

He is only or inches long, but has big head, very prominent eyes and side fins which bear strong resemblance to legs. They have the curious habit of leaving the water in the evening and spending the entire night hunting the nocturnal insects which inhabit the muddy flats near tide water.

About twelve inches broad and twelve deep is a good size. If you make the pad, the pieces for the inside must be cut little smaller on the curved edges than the outer pieces; after the curved seams are sewed, slip the smaller one within the other, letting the seams all come inside, fill the space between the two with cotton or eider-down, then sew the lower, straight edges together.
 The first tea-cozy is covered with old. rose chamois and lined with chest nut silk. A puff of ribbon of the same shade as the lining, and embroidery with gold and brown silks, decorates the outside, and the edges are pinked. The pad for this has of course to be cut the same shape, and has a melon. shaped gore on the sides. In cutting, allowance must be made for the pinked edges of the chamois, which extend be. yond the lining. If destined to cover low, squat teapot, the cozy should be made smaller than the dimensions given, which are the average, but by no means obligatory.

How to Wash silk Waists,

Wash silk waists do not always wash well because of ignorance of the proper way of laundering them. Add tea spoonful of borax to some lukewarm water and enough nice white soap to
 make a weak suds. Rub through the hands carefullyi instead of wringing draw the silk through the tightly clasped hand. If all the dirt has not been taken out, wash again; then rinse in several waters to which have been added Q pinch of borax or half dozen drops of ammonia. Do not let the silk become quite dry before ironing; then use a moderately hot iron, as a very hot one will scorch the silk.
