WOMAN AND HOME.
CASE FOR MAGAZINES.

As Costs Much More In Labor Than h
Dimes and Cents.
Magazine covers assuredly are NOT
new. They greet us on every side, but,
nevertheless they always make accepta-
bic gifts. The one given here is novel
in its material and has the merit Of
costing more in labor than in pence,
The hard times have not yet entirely
vanished. Their traces still remain.
and many generous heart is curtailed
by lack OF means. The magazine cover
need cost only an absurdly few cents,
and at the same time is both serviceable
and attractive.
To make it, buy onc-half yard Of
tailor's canvas. The color is that Of
unbleached linen and makes a most de-
sirable background. The width is Just
sufficient to allow Of the necessary
folds. Turn under each cut edge Of the
canvas until it is just little longer
than an ordinary magazine and lightly
catstitch them in place That is, use
big stitches and do not catch them
through to the right side. When that
Is done fold under each selvaec edge

PARIS FIRE EATERS.

Couple Who Excel Anything In Their
Limo Ever Seen.
The fire eaters of whom we propose
to speak. and who have been exhibit
ing in the hall of the Olympia at Paris,
excel in their line anything of the kind
that has been seen up to the present.
They not only swallow flames, but
handle fire and cause it to fash from
their fingers
These fire eaters are two young
Americans who have cultivated physics
and electricity considerably. When
they perform their experiments they
are clad in q tight-fitting costume Of
red color. which represents that Of the
devils of fairy scenes. The stage upon
which they appear remains but dimly
lighted during the entire time OF their
presence thereon. At the back of it
there is piece of furniture that re-
semblcs an office desk seen from the

The best memories play their owner
false sometimes, and. usually at the
most critical minute-whcn the butcher,
| or the grocer, or the candlestick man,
is standing in the kitchen door with his
pencil poised impatiently over his order
book. We remember the soda, and the
crackers. and tho soup bone, but there
was surely something else! And not
until the man is out of sound and sight
do we think Of the empty ginger box
and the gingerbread due for teal
That's the way the world goes. Mr..

forgets, and everybody wishes she

old fashion Of keeping slate and

the fashion is still in vogue. As often
as the empty cans and boxes appear, .

that when the order man comes, If one
is SO fortunate as to have such q con-
venient mortal come to ones door, or
when John goes to town, there is the
list Of necessaries all ready. But it
must be copied upon paper. and that.
in itself, is sometimes good deal Of q
nuisance at the last moment, when
John" is waiting. Besides, slate
memoranda have fashion Of getting
more or less rubbed and illegible.
A very delightful and pretty memory

none of the dement's Of the slate and

to prove an acceptable gift to some
housewifely friend on her birthday: or,
indeed, on any day Of the year. The

Gently used on the Aix-la-Chapelle

derived from soda. The invention is
based on the principle that solutions of
caustic soda. which have high boiling
points, liberatc heat while absorbing

smoke nor steam, and work noiselessly.
Compared with coal-burning locomo-
tives, the soda engines show a capacity
equal to the former. while they are

The presence of reform is being made
apparent in all sorts of unexpected places.
For so many years past that the memory
items of this country have at various times
been afflicted by downpouring hailstones
"of the size of eggs" No particular va
riety Of eggs was mentioned in that connec-
ton, so the unsophisticated reader gener-
ally accepted 1t as fact that the eggs
must be of the sort commonly contributed
by the average hen of commerce whose
product was quoted in Saturdays Star as
being worth about twelve and one-half
cents a dozen. Several times have these
hailstone-egg stories been discredited, and
an extent that a change in the smile was
demanded. A newspaper reporter at AL
bert Lea, Mimi, says that the hailstones
which fell recently in the vicinity of Hokah
in the same state were las large as lemons"
This announcement is much more definite,
for while there are lemons and lemons
some being exceedingly small and weaZ-
ened in appearance, while others are of
more generous proportions-there is never
thelesS not nearly so much difference in
the size of lemons as there is in the size of
mended. The very idea of being pelted
with cggs is distasteful, even to the most
callous individual. AS missiles, lemons
would be quite as effective are much more
SeaSoHable in hot weather and have the
added advantage of causing less damage
to the clothing of the human target.
