CHILD's LIBRARY CASE.

By teaching them early to build up q
little library they will acquire love
for books that will grow upon them.
Children not familiar with books from
childhood seldom take to them when
they grow older. Use the utmost care
in selecting books that contain right
moral teachings, SO that the little bud
ding minds will never absorb anything
that is detrimental to their character.
As children grow older teach them to
use the faculty Of discrimination and
selection for themselves. Do not make
them too dependent upon another's
mind in their selection of reading mat
ter. For little child small library
case can be made out Of a box obtained
at the grocer's. Either cover the sides,
inside and outside, with cheese cloth,
or paint it to suit the taste. Make lit
tie shelves inside, run brass rod across
the top, and fit pretty little curtain
In front of it. The case can stand on
the floor, or on table where the chill.
dren can reach it. Make them put
their books in it at all times, and they
will learn to take care of them and keep
them in order.-Once Week.

JUST A SUGGESTION.
How to Make Dreary Room Very Bright
and Cheerful.

How to Make Dreary Room Very Bright
and Cheerful.
You can make a dreary, sunless room
very bright and cheerful by the proper
use of color. Use soft buttercup
yellow paper, one Of those colors which
seem TO reflect sunlight from them
selves. A big fireplace tiled with two
shades Of yellow tile would be hand
some addition to the room. The pretty
Minton tiles which come from Eng
land and used to cost so much may
now be purchased at sixty cents per
square foot in colored designs. This
factory used to make fascinating yell
low and black tiles repeating the
stories Of 1.-THE Idylls Of the King
and other English classics. Such tiles
would make charming framework
around the fireplace, and the hearth
might be covered by tiles in the same
colors, but in conventional design.
One would hardly care to tread under
foot the lovely Enid, the bold Sir Ian
celot, or even the mischievous Vivian.
The paint Of this room ought to be q
cream white, and the ceiling paper a
cream white, with lines of yellow. The
furniture ought to be Of cheerful
light character, with an abundance of
dainty, bright-colored cushions. The
sash curtains at the windows should be
striped with yellow. Such room as
this will slight up" beautifully in the
evenings, and one will scarcely miss
the sunshine in the daytime. The
success of the room depends on the
choice Of yellow hues There is a GER
tain shade of yellow almost the exact
color of the daisy or the petal of the
buttercup, which always looks well in
furnishing and harmonizes perfectly
with pure white, while harl orange
shades are always painful to the eye

sad news, 1t was with lighter heart
she journeyed toward her old home.
Arriving in the neighborhood, she
sent for old Hannah, who gave her the
particulars of her fathers condition,
and together they had many an anxious
discussion as to what was best to be
done.
DE doctor say it wouldn't do fer you
ter go ter see him. He is so sot again
yer fer havin' de captain; der shock oh
seem yer might kill him." Hannah
said on one of those occasions "But
you kin stay close by, en- I'll make out
like I'll hire Sugy-Honey ter you ter
nus; he don't know what yer new
name is, nohow, en- she kin take de
baby ober dar, en- maybe marster'll
notice him arter awhile"
Thus it was arranged. and the next
day when Sugy-Honey did not appear
as usual, Col. Henson seemed restless,
and finally asked where she was.
II dun hired her out to nus"
answered Hannah. 81 taut she might
es well be maxim err little somethin' Sc
not"
Col. Henson said no more, but he
evidently missed the willing hands
and feet and the CHEEKY presence to
which he had been so long accustomed.
AS he sat on the porch that evening, a
silent, disconsolate figure, he heard a
jolly laugh and baby's pretty cooling.
1t proved to be Sugy-Honey and her
new charge.
The baby was lovely little fellow,
just beginning to prattle. When Sugy
Honey put him down from her lap he
toddled in the most matter-of-fact way
to Col. Henson, put his hands on the
coloners knees and chatted necessarily
in his pretty, lisping lingo
The colonel soon commenced to take
a little interest in farm matters; to in
quire Of Jake how many of the ole
negroes were still on the place; what
crops he planted, and to give some ad
vice as to their cultivation. Yet it wa.
plain that his day began when Sugy
Honey came with the baby and ended
when they left. He still had no ides
who the little one really was, for al
were afraid to tell him.
Thus the summer days passed.
Hannah often reported progress to

PRETTY WOOD FRAMES.

Suggestions which Practical Women Can
Put to Actual Use.
Handsome carved frames are very ex-
pensive, and paste frames, though less
SO, are often undesirable, as the design
is frequently mutilated. However,
with moderate skill, very pretty frames
can be made Of plain wood. For a
medium or large-sized picture let the
material be or inches wide and 4
inch thick, OF some nicely-grained
wood. Oak is very pretty and in good
taste, and if procured ready dressed, as
1t should be, cannot be excelled. The
pieces should be cut SO that the inner
or shorter edge is just inch shorter
than the picture to be framed.
The corners are the most difficult
part. but unless you are o professional
joiner do not try to make an invisible"
joint, as it will always result in failure.
Cut them carefully at an angle Of As de-
grees, making them fit snugly. Picture

woman's Ways on the wheel.

1t is noticed that in cycling the ele-
giant woman does not coast; neither
does she race. Rapidity Of movement
she considers neither conducive to
grace nor as evincing good style. On
the contrary, she sits erect, with ell
bows well in, gliding along slowly, and
with so little motion that the loss
of dignity is not thought of in her con-
nection. She does not wear skirts so
short as to attract attention when she
dismounts. In fact, in everything con.
nected with the wheel her movements
are SO quiet and unobtrusive as to ex.
cite the admiration of the onlooker in
stead of the derision SO frequently re.
corded. "Repose is always elegance"
and rapidity on the wheel is quite the
reverse. Forum.

Her mother was the favorite maid Of
a pretty Georgia girl before the days
of secession, and had given her baby
this Understanding name because, as
she explained to her young mistress:
Sugar is sweet, en- so is honey, en-
de badly is sweeter dan elder, en- so Use
named her fer bofe."
Mary Henson laughed at her serv-
ants fancy, but she was an indulgent
mistress and made no real objection,
SO that Hannah's baby was henceforth
known to Hazel Dell farm as "Sugy-
Honey"
To mistress and maid, as to mother
and child, the happy years went by
with presage of the honors of war in
store for that summer land and that
sunuy.hearted people. Yet when the
first gun of Fort Sumpter sent its thun-
derous echoes round the world, it
found Mary's father already the colonel
OF a regiment on its way to join his
command, leaving his plantation to
the care of his wife and daughter and
a few trusted servants. These had
proved themselves faithful in the days
OF peace and prosperity. They were
now to be found not less so through
years of adversely and peril Hannah,
with Jack, her husband, and Sugy.
money were the main house servants.
"All own in the world and all love
leave in your hands, were the last
words of Col. Henson as he rode away,
and events proved that he knew in
whom he could trust.
The day came at last, when the war,
with all it's changes, was over, and
Hannah had heard that her master was
coming home.
Four years of civil strife had left
their impress on the hillside and val
ley, as well as in the hearts of the peo
Pile. The Henson mansion, which had
been built in colonial times, of stone
brought as ballast from the mother
country, was now a heap of ruins, and
its ashes had been trampled by sway
ing lines of men grappled together in
the deadly struggle for victory. An
other impressive symbol of the family
misfortunes was a newly.made grave
in the little family burying ground
where an inscription on slab o.
white pine told to those who cared
to read that the mother of the house
hold had closed her eyes to the
sorrows of time. Hannah was making
ready for her master a little room In
the corner of the yard called an Office
which, with her own cabin, were the
only buildings left standing. While
thus occupied she was expounding hel
troubles to Sugy-Honey, who was dill
gently scrubbing the floor.

For women who do not employ q
housekeeper there has come within the
last few years boon in the form OF q
professional house-cleaner." She is q
responsible woman, well recommended,
who takes the entire charge of opening
ind closing city and country houses in
the spring and fall. She takes her
own staff of cleaners, carpet sweepers,
etc, and becomes responsible for the
care of the house and everything in it
from the time she takes possession of it
until she turns it over to it's mistress in
perfect order. She will also hire any
servants that may be needed, and can
