students use, or in fat bedrooms,
where space is at premium, it is
unique and valuable.
The material may be oak or such
wood as one fancies; pine enameled in
white or black is as good, so long as it
matches the woodwork or furniture of
the room. Two strips of the wood, each
two inches by three feet, are attached
to the wall by long screws. Across the
top of these are placed three shelves
about five inches wide, supported by
brackets of brass. Between the two
upper ones partitions are glued in to
form pigeon holes. A curtain is hung
from a rod to afford decoration and con-
cealment.
From four to six inches from the
lower end of each of the strips of wood
is firmly placed strip about two inches
wide, to which is hinged the shelf that
forms the desk. This is upheld when
open by brass chains, as seen in the
sketch When it is desired to close it
it is merely shut to the wall, the chains
falling into place. The ledge upon
which the lid is hinged forms firm
place for the inkstand, and other neces-
sary ftments of desk.
Against the wall, between the sup
porting strips, may be fixed Japanese
panel, or some tapestry or silk, as taste
may dictate. A picture can be so fas-
tened to the panel as to form good
letter or card holder
The whole affair is simple and easily
managed; any good carpenter will
make the necessary woodwork for a
very small sum. 1t is one of the few
Yankee notions which combine utility
with beauty and durability.-N. Y

An Excellent supper Dish.

Planned potatoes make an exceeding
1y good supper dish prepared as fol-
lows: Cut raw potatoes ia thin slices,
put them In baking-pan, sprinkling
each layer with salt. When the dish is
nearly full pour in sufficient milk to
cover the potatoes, and bake them in a
slow oven about two hours. Stir them
occasionally, taking care not to break
the slices, and if the milk is reduced
more than one-half add little more.
as there should be a good deal of mois-
ture when the process is finished. This
mode of cooking gives a peculiarly de-
icious favor even to inferior potatoes

SOME CONVERSATIONS.
Economical Spending Is Not without It
Brighter Side.

Economical Spending Is Not without It's
Brighter Side.
There are many compensations in
economical spending. To be able to
buy all one needs or likes without close
consideration of ways and means is
doubtless a pure joy to some minds.
For to spend lavishIy does not always
imply selfshness. There are natures
which are broadened and enriched by
prosperity, and comfort and peace and
helpfulness for others spring naturally
up in their hearts SO soon as the pres
sure of frightened circumstances is re-
Taxed.
And yet there are compensations to
be found in economy. To save and con-
trive through long days to obtain some
coveted bit of household furnishing, or
some longed-for treat, carries with it
many qualification besides the mere
attainment of the desire. The arrange
ment and the planning, which are fla
vored with many anticipating thoughts
of the pleasure they are given for; the
expectation and satisfaction of count
ing the fast-accumulating hoard; and
then the final joy, which extends be-
yond the mere getting, the glow of
delight at the accomplishment of a set
tied purpose, which is the crowning re-
ward of the economical soul, who re-
joices ever with ten-fold satisfaction
at obtaining what he wanted and
worked for SO 1ong-an these are com
pensations which the prodigal never
knows, and which to many natures are
-suficing.-Harper' Bazaar.

in toward him until the back Of the door
itself was wholly parted from the frame
and stood in the room.
Inspector Briggs could scarcely con.
tain himself as he saw this strange oper-
alton performed.
Then the black bearded man put out
his left hand, holding the back Of the
door steadily with his right hand, and
put the fingers Of his left hand into some
groove or opening in the door-at least
SO it appeared to the inspector, though
he could not tell exactly what the man
was doing.
Suddenly, with q hoarse cry, the
stranger fell back several PAGES, threw
up his hands, and in a thick, gutteral
voice one word fell from him:
"Gone!'
AS the black bearded man stood in the
center of tho room he grasped the brass
knob of the bedstead with one hand to
steady himself. Inspector Briggs had
now the full light from the street lamp
thrown on half his face. lingering his
revolver, he opened the cupboard door
noiselessly, sprang round by the foot of
the bed, and an iron grip was fixed on
the throat Of the man who had solved
the problem Of the locked door.
The stranger uttered a hoarse, appall-
ing cry rs the police inspector grippe6
him, and his captor had to drop his re-
volver and use both his arms to prevent
his prisoner from falling ON the floor.
He pushed him toward the bed and
tried to place him upon It, but the mans
body felt like lead, and the inspector
could only throw the upper part Of the
body OH the side of the bed and then
grip him by the legs and lay him ON the
bed. He knew the man was in a fit,
powerless to offer any active resistance.
A knock at the door of the room star
tied him.
"Shove the door back into it's place."
cried Detective Goringe.
Leaving the bed, Briggs pushed the
door back, and a moment afterward it
was opened from the outside, and the
detective stood in the doorway, a lighted
candle in his hand.
1.-The fellow has gone off in some sort
Of fit" said Briggs, great drops of sweat
falling from his brow.
Eyes; l heard his cry, the same cry
as when he fell down in the coroner
court"
He! Who?' asked the bewildered in
spector. "'Pon my soul, my nerves and
my senses are all gone wrong for the
moment"
The detective led the way quickly to
the bedside.
Tear open his collar first said he,
"and then pull off his wig and the black
beard and mustache."
He held the candle ON high.
"Steinworth, by all that's good!'
gasped Inspector Briggs as he followed
out Goringe's instructions and stared at
the helpless man ON the bed.

SELF DEFENSE.
Tho LEV Relating Thereto Laid Down b

The lev Relating Thereto Laid Down b.
the Supreme Court.
A United States district judge in
Arkansas instructed a jury that every.
where except within his own house the
law requires a man to run away and do
his best to escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The judge further
said that when assaulted on his own
premises, but outside of his house, a
man must show his sense of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant to ave himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons of
assault consisted Of knives, bludgeons.
swords, ETC., which an active man had
some chance Of escaping. But it is not
applicable to these days of revolvers
and winchesters, whose bullets no man
IAN dodge or %outrun, and the United
States supreme court has sent it to the
black letter lumber garnet.
The man sentenced to eight years
imprisonment by the Arkansas judge
obtained from the supreme court an or.
der for a new trial under a new instruc-
ton. This new instruction declares that
wherever a man may be, if he has a
right to be there aud if he has not him
self provoked the assault, the law justi-
ies him i'll standing his ground and
killing his assailant provided the prov
able circumstances are such as to salts
fly a jury that he had reasonable GROUNDS
for believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to protect
himself from great bodily harm.
Putting any further limitation on the
right to kill in self defense would abol-
ish it altogether. Arkansas is only one
Of the many states in which a man may
have to decide very hastily whether he
shall be tried for killing a fellow citi-
zen or let the fellow citizen be tried for
killing him. In these cases, with his
attention excitedly fixed ON his assail.
ant, he has no time to get legal advice
or to study the necessities of the situa-
tion" through the eyes of bystanders.
Court and jury will do that afterward.
and he is under restraint enough when
he knows that in saving himself from
the peril Of the moment he incurs the
further peril Of having to satisfy a jury
that his act as justified by the circum.
stances New York World.
