A Hammock for the Baby.


Denim is constantly inventing new fields
and taking fresh uses. It's last is as the
constructing fabric of childs hammock.
Two yards of denim of a brownish tone
were purchased and a pattern one and one
quarter yards long by twenty-seven inches
wide was cut out of newspaper as a pre-
liminary step toward making the hammock.
Then the denim was folded lengthwise and
crosswise, so as to quarter 1T and find its
CENTER and this was marked with pin
thrust through it, after which the paper
pattern was folded in the same way, the
center found. and laid over the spread-out
denim so that the two materials would be
exactly centered together lengthwise with
each other. This left strip of denim un-
covered on each side of the paper pattern
four and one-half inches wide.. while the
ends were completely uncovered. pencil
line was then drawn so as to continue the
sides of the denim in two long strips from
end to end, making the strips two yards
long by four and one-half inches wide. In
side of these strips was left at each end an
untouched piece of denim little more than
thirteen inches long by twenty-seven inches
wide as the cloth runs. These long side
strips must not be cut. as they make the
swing pieces for the hammock, but the end
blocks are cut out along the pencil line as
far as the paper and across the end OF the
paper, to make a huge capital II of
the denim. You must next cut one little slit
an inch deep into the extreme corners Of
the bar of the along the pencil line, SO as
to enable you to run up hem on the top
and bottom of the bar. After finishing
this. fold the long side strips lengthwise
and run them up smooth, SO as to make
of them two long straps attached to the
crossbar Of the H. Now you must take a
pillow, lay it down on the denim, as you
would if the hammock were in use as bed,
and lay v pleat in each side OF the cross
bar to bunch It into a pocket or vessel shape.
Pleat until you get the arrangement you
wish: stick in few pins and double-stitch
through the " pleat along its edges. You
will now have the hammock shaped, and
the next step Is to run piece of the waste
denim across each end all of the width as
stay to prevent the side strips from pulling
off,
After placing the stays on the ends. the
side straps may be firmly sewed together to
make hanging loops. to which light line may
be added at pleasure when needed. If the
pillow and bedding will not keep far enough
apart, light round sticks may be inserted
anywhere across the loops by working
large eyelet in the strips to hold the stick

MOUNTAINS IN THE SEA.
A Cable Detour Around a Range Seventy.
 five Miles Long.

uFo hlhes AOnks
 There exists in the great ocean between j Australia and New Caledonia a range of mighty submarine mountains, whose lime- stone tops rise within 300 fathoms of the surface. The discovery of these peaks, rising sheer 2, 800 feet from the bottom of the deep sea, was made by the men who have just finished laying the first section of the transpacifo cable. Sir Audrey , Coote, who was at the head of the cable expedition, arrived here yesterday on the steamer Alameda from Sydney, New South Wales. He said;
 "The sea from Australia to Now Caie donia has been surveyed by a British and by an American vessel. Your Albatross went there and did some very good work, but, as it happened, both this expedition and the other missed the strange feature of the ocean that can describe. We had an- tieipated no great difficulty in laying the cable section, and did not find ahy until suddenly the bottom of the ocean began to rise. We were fofced to cut the cable there in midocean and to buoy up the ends. It was then found that what had hindered us was range of submarine mountains.
 "There Is nothing else like this in the world that know of. The mountains rise Ill aDrupD peaks anu arc Haru lunes0ohe and granite. By careful measurement we found that the peaks were more than 1000 feet on the average and the highest of them 7,5o0 feet from the bottom of the ocean. Less than 300 fathoms from the surface of the water we found the tops of the highest mountains The range extends for nearly 76 miles-that is, measuring from the extreme northerly to the extreme southerly point To lay the cable around this range took 48 miles more of cable than we had counted On. We had to go around the peaks as q railroad would go around mountain on land. "-Letter to San Fran cisco Chronicle.

EFFECTS OF HASHEEsH.
The Feeling Experienced After Partaking-
 of the Insinuating Drug.

During quite good huff hour I felt nothing in any way abnormal, but when the meal was drawing to its close subtle warmth, which came, as it were, in gusts to my head and chest, seemed to permeate my body with singular emotion. Later on the conversation around mo reached my understanding charged with droll significance. The noise of fork tapped against a glass struck my ear as a most harmonious vibration. The faces of my companions were transformed. The par ticular animal type, which, according to Lavater, is the basis of every human coun- tenance, appeared to me strikingly clear. My right hand neighbor became an eagle; he on my left grew into an owl, with full projecting eyes. Immediately in front of me the man was @ lion, while the doctor himself was metamorphosed into fox.
 But the most extraordinary circumstance was that I rend, or seemed to read, their thoughts and penetrate the depth of their intelligence as easily as one deoiphers page printed in large type. Like an ex- perienced phrenologist, could indicate &C., curately the force and quality of their en- dowments and the nature of their senti ments In this analysis discovered afini- ties and contrasts which would have escaped one 1n a normal state.
 Objects around me seemed little by lit- tie to clothe themselves ip fantastic garb, the arabesques on the walls revealed them- selves to me in rich rhymes of attractive poesy, sometimes melancholy. but moro generally fising to an exaggerated lyrism or to trahscendent buffoonery. The porce- lain vases the bottles, the glasses spar king on the table-eall took the most lu- dicrous forms At the same time felt creeping all around the region of my heart a tickling pressure to Squeeze out, as it were, with gentle force a laugh which burst forth with noisy violence
 My ncighbors, too, seemed subjected to an idel ical influence, for I saw their faces unfold like peonies--victims of bois- terous hilarity, holding their sides and rolling about from right to left, their countenanoes swollen like Titans. My voice seemed to have gained considerable strength, for when I spoke it was as if it were discharge of cannon, and long after had usered a sentence l heard in my brain the reverberation, as it were, of dis tant thunder.-Cornhill Magazine.

Discovered at Last to Be Jellylike Or
 ganism.
 At last the miorobe of smallpox has been found. Dr. Guarieri of Pisa, Italy, is credited with the discovery, which is confirmed by Professor Pfeiffer of Berlin. The germ is not bacterium, but an ameba-that Is to say, iellylike organ ism representing one of the lowest forms of animal life.
 "An amnba is bit of protoplasm with power of motion said Dr. William Gray, bacteriologist of the Army Medical mu- scum in Washington "It absorbs food at any part of it's surface, expels the waste from any other part and has no particular shape. You would find, if you were able to trace your'descent far enough, that you yourself had an amoeba for an ancestor. As for tho smallpox germ, many attempts have been made to find it, though in vain hitherto. Various micro-organisms have been separated from the matter contained in the postules of the disease, but none of them would produce the latter in animals by inoculation Experiments will be made with this microbe by injecting beasts with it and drawing off the serum from their blood for use as diphtheria serum is em- ployed Nov York World.

The Adams Express train, which is due here at 10 o'clock, was brought to a stop near Morrisville by the display of a danger signal. When the train came to a stand still four tough looking specimens of the knights of the road boarded one of the doors and auda- ciously demanded that the passengers turn over their valuables. When the train crew had recovered from their sur prise at the unbounded nerve of the act they tackled the tramps and speedily hustled them from the car. The men, however. put up such & good fight that they were able to break away and made their escape. The train crew notified the superintendent of the division from Nor risville and railway officials of the com pany are now looking for the tramps.

 ''This is No. 1901, said a state depart ment official to whom the inquiries about unclaimed fortunes in England are re- ferred.

 "The whole story" said the state de- partment official, lis necessarily trash. Ambassador Bayard has more than once replied to similar publications that there are no great estates unclaimed in England and no unclaimed peerages. Even if Josiah Poultney were able to establish the fact that he was descendant of Sir William Poultney, prominent in the social and po- litical history os England, that would not entitle him to a seat in the house of lords.
 "The title sir Is bestowed only on knights and baronets, none of whom is entitled to admission to the house of lords.

An Anneal for Armenians.

New York, Nev. 15.-Ex-minister of the United States to Turkey, Oscar Strauss. today received from Rev. Henry c. Dwight head of the Bible house mission in Constantinople, the following cable gram:
 Armenia laid waste quarter million souls destitute. Will you start humani- tarian work. forming strong non-parti- san relief commission independent of missionaries?"
 Referring to the dispatch MT Strauss said MT. Dwight had been in Turkey for twenty years and his statements could be relied upon. He would not cable thus, said MT. Strauss, if he were not thor oughly assured of the facts There evil dently must have been some terrible con- nicts between the Turkish troops and the Armenians. There should be co-op- eration on the part of the various conn mittees which have been formed for this purpose and steps will be at once taken with this end in view.
