across the upper right hand corner, and
a similar band across the lower one on

Some pretty bureau drawer sachets

A useful article is a sponge holder
made of piece Of oiled silk about s
inches square. The outside is ornament
ed with bands of bright red braid cross
ing each other at right angles and form
ing numerous little squares. The ends
Of the strips terminate in loops along
the edge, and where the bands cross

sewed to the braid When suspended by
long strips Of tape fastened to each COR

A thrifty family not far from here
for a number of years have been cele-
brating Christmas by providing each
other with the necCsSaries of life for the
coming year. This includes clothing for
the children and grown up daughters.
The man of the house, as the bear of the
family, is usually presented with new
hat, which renders him awfully august
for the next few days. The maternal
head generally receives pair of cloth
shoes, Sometimes, however, a reckless
extravaganza is INDUCED i'll, and small
bits of nickel that would naturally have
gone into the collection on a succession
Of Sundays find their way into the hands
of the children.
Now, such an observance of the occa-
sion is certainly more according to
the letter than to the Esprit" of the
laws Of generosity and good cheer-a
sort Of mean contriyance ON the part Of
we'll to do people to take extra credit for
fulfilling their regular obligations. If
tho people are poor, however, the case is
quite different, and the gift will be even
u.orc welcome because it is useful.

For the Uousekeeper.

The pride of every housekeeper S heart
is her linen closet, and pretty tancies
for the dinner table are an ever vel
come addition to it. A centerpiece for
the table is of linen damask "a inches
square. The design is composed Of large
grape leaves, seven inches in diameter
These are worked in white linen floss
or rope silk, CT in the wash filoselle of
the new electric shades-terra Gotta,
pomegranate, pale and old gold. old
pink and dark red, pale and gendarme
blue and apple green and olive-make
all artistic assortment of tones. The
stitch is long and short buttonhole, the
longest three-eighths of an inch deep
The veining is done in etching stitch.
The work is then cut out around the
edge. A set of six of these leaves, work
ed in shaded filoselle, makes very pret-
ty table decoration. They may be laid
around the centerpiece of fruit or flow
ers Or in groups of three at opposite cor
ners of the table. Done on boiling
cloth they make very pretty doilies.

A Photograph Box For Christmas,

Photographs are forever on the in
crease, and any convenience for their
safe keeping that is at the same time
an attractive object is an excellent
thing to make. A good sized box for
this purpose is 10 inches by II, but
there can be no fixed rule. All the parts,
bottom sides, ends and cover, are made
separately and overhanded together at
the edges and corners. A good model is
made of old pink agra linen. Each piece
of board is neatly covered, wadded and
lined with thin silk. On the sides and
Oh the top are painted the pure white
daisies of the field, and the edge of the
cover is supplied with loop by which
it can easily be opened and closed.

Christmns Gifts Eor the serzanl.

"The girl' is as much of problem at
Christmas as she is all the rest Of the

the festive season, then it is necessary
that her magnanimity be fittingly re-
warded. She must have a present.
If she keeps her kitchen neat and
cheerful, it may encourage her to have
q rush rocking chair added to its furni-
ture. If she seems to take any pride in
her own room, Il dainty bureau set will
please her, or set of bOokshelves, if
she happens to own any books, will de-
light her.

A Fat Negro Boy.


The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Index-Appeal, in yester-
days issue, says: From Pocahontas
few days ago came q country darkey
named Harris, and with him O colored
boy Of 13 years, whose corporal dimen-
sions were wonderful and fearful to
contemplate. He weighed 335 pounds,
measured 65 inches around the waist,
and the circumference of the calf of his
leg WAS exactly 36 inches. The man
who acted as his manager brought him
here for the purpose Of placing him on
exhibition with mercensry intent, and
with this end in view rented a vacant
store at the northeast corner of Broad
and Eighth streets last Saturday Buei-
ness was bad and the dusky manager
must have become wholly disheartened,
for the show closed Saturday night.
The juvenile mountain Of flesh told me
modestly that he was the fattest boy in
this world or the next. His name, he
said, ia Elmore Shepherd. He ia the
son OF William Shepperd, a coal miner,
and had lived in Pocahontas from his
second year until few days ago, when
Harris proposed the scheme of exhibit.

"A New Restriction on carriage.


A most ridiculous discussion arose the
other evening at a cosmopolitan dinner
party. Conversation tagged slightly,
and wicked Yankee launched an ap-
pie of discord in the shape of the state
ment, now well known in London, that
bill was being framed in tho house Of
lords forbidding man to marry his
widows cousin. A French lady made
cutting remarks about tho established
church Of England and its restrictions.
A French colonel ponderously declared
that the depopulation Of France would
prevent the French government frov,

riage, which was already difficult

leans rejoiced in Pharisceliko mnnnes
over the absolute freedom of our own
beloved country, as this was evidently
not case of tho prohibited degrees,
and finally tho discussion bid fair to do
generate into a serious dispute, when
the author of this turmoil mildly sug-
gested that as yet no man had after his
death taken any interest in any of his
widows female relatives, which put
sudden end to the political theological

THE EGG DANCE.
A Beautiful Feat That Is Performed be
Hindoo Juggling Girls.

Hindoo Juggling Girls.
Ono Of the most wonderful of the
many fcats performed by Hindoo jug-
glers is tho egg dance. Usually it is OK
ecuted by girl, Enthusiastically dressed.
She makes use of tho willow wheel,
around which at equal distances a3e
threads, and at the end of each thread
there is q moose, held open by bead.
This wheel tho girl places on her
head, while she carries basket of eggs
on her arm. When the music strikes up,
she begins to dance, and the wheel be-
gins to spin around. She then takes an
egg from tho basket, places it in one of
the thread nooses and throws it from
her with sufficient force to draw tho
knot tight. The spinning of the wheel
keeps the thread stretched, with the egg
Mt the end of it.
She then takes another egg from tho
basket, places it in another moose and
repeats this until there is IN egg in ev-
cry moose. Her fantastic costume, her
perfect motion and ali the eggs swing
ing on tho stretched threads at once pre-
cent very pretty sight indeed. 1t re-
qulres much art 10 execute the dance,
for at ono false step Tho eggs would be
dashed together, the dance spoiled and
tho dancer thereby disgraced
After dancing for time with all the
sggs swinging around her head she takes

Che timo keeping the wheel balanced
and in motion, and again places there

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.

1t Is evident, in spite Of the efforts OF
Spanish officials to suppress tho facts in
regard to the real situation, that tho
cause of Cuban independence has made
tremendous strides in the direction OF
It's accomplishment within the past
twelve months. The little uprising"
which General Campos was to suppress
in few weeks has assumed the magni-
tude OF revolution that the hundred
thousand Spanish soldiers on the island
cannot control.
The expected advance on the rebels
from all points has been delayed 80
long that the revolutionists have re-
versed the programme and are attack
ing the Spanish forces in all direc-
lions. The sympathy OF the people of
the United States, regardless OF poll
tics, is entirely with the struggling
Cubans, and while some of our states.
men contend that annexation of the
island to the American Union, is not
desirable, 1t is believed that such
result would be hailed with delight by
nine.tenths Of the American people.
As an independent republic Cuba for
many years would present repetition
OF the history OF all the SpAnish-Ameri.
can States; but under American rule the
leland would soon become the home Of
thousands OF energetic people, who
would hurry forward the development
of its magnificent resources until it
would blossom, indeed, like the rose.
What Congress when 1t assemblies
will do in regard to the conflict now in
progress there is at present difficult to
conjecture; but it is plain that II our
national Lawmakers follow the wishes
OF the majority of the American people,
they will make the Cuosns dream of
independence not only more probable of
realization than it now ia, but will take
such active stops in their behalf that
Spain will be compelled to abandon the
effort to subdue and reinslaye them as
hopeless undertaking.
