A HELPFUL CORNER.

nese woman, even if she is of the high
est rank, are worn and worn and then
handed down from generation to gene

NV
HOMEMADE furniture in Florida is an
item worth giving some attention to-. A
clever little woman who was short of
closet room had no sideboard into which
she could pack her table linen, gives us
some good hints as to how she succeeded
in manufacturing homemade furniture.
She secured wooden boxes.
One for the dining room is 90 inches
long, II inches wide and IA inches
high, and is covered with pretty
French cretonne. The top is padded
so it makes comfortable seat.
The cover which forms the seat is fast
ened on by means of small hinges. 1t is
lined inside with cambric This holds
number of table cloths, napkins, tray
cloths and doilies, and serves for a
double purpose.
A similar one for the bathroom holds
towels and wash cloths, while one in the
kitchen contains newspapers, neatly
folded paper bags and brown wrapping
paper, besides ball of Irvine.
The library boasts more pretentious
one, although similarly constructed
The cover is of brown linen embroidered
in brown-eyed Susans done in Roman
floss The effect is very good. This otto
man holds the latest magazines and
newspapers, so there is no need of hunt
ing all over for them when in hurry.
Still another of these novel and useful
articles is found in the upper hall, and
upon opening it is seen a quantity of
sheets, pilowcases and bedspreads
This same house contains number OF
stools or hassocks which are of home
manufacture. Small boxes are used for
the foundation. These are covered with
various materials suitable to the rooms
in which they are to be used. One is
l64 inches long, 13 inches wide ana 6
inches high. The top is padded. Wine
colored canton flannel is used for the
covering, aud it is finished around the
ton with a narrow furniture gimp and
brass headed tacks. Another, more
attractive, is covered with handsome
tan.colored canvas, and on it are en-
broidered white marguerites in Boston
art silk.
A handsome divan recently seen had
for it's foundation an old canvas
covered cot. On top of this was fitted
hair-mattress, which was considerably
cut down from it's original size. "A
strong cover of unbleached muslin was
neatly fitted over this, aud next came
the handsome spread of blue denim,
with a fiounce of the same embroidered
in white. They have double ruff1es all
around them. Three other pillows of the
back have a puff all around and are
severed with blue pongee embroidered
in white Asiatic flo silk floss. The puff
is of white linen.

A CHANGE IMPENDING
In the situation OF Affairs In the Dsrda-

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. 9.-The gen
eral situation here has not changed
since Saturday, but It is now apparent
that change is about to take place.
The representatives of the powers,
some of whom have been awaiting
instructions from their governments
in regard to the matter of putting
additional guard boats in the
Bosporus, now seem to be unanimous
in their insistence upon the issuance
of permits for the admission OF these
boats by the sultan. The ambassadors
will hold a meeting to consider the
situation as presented by the refusal
to permit the passage Of the additional
boats through the straits, and decide
upon concerted plan of action.

GERMAN UNITY.

NO better evidence of the unity OF
she German confederation could have
been given than the manner III which
the people of 1.-The Fatherland" cele.
DRAFTED the S0h birthday of Prince
BISMARCK, the man whose genius aud
Will made G erman unifioation not only
u possibility. but fact. The profound
respect that was paid him on that occa
slon and the enthusiasm which followed
his remarks at FREDERICKSBURG gave
evidence OF sentiment of nationality
which cannot be questioned.
1t is true that the spirit of socialism
has grown, but after all the great ma
tional hope is in the perpetuity of the
confederation. No one knows better
than the German people that the unfit
cation OF the provinces and principal
ties which go to make up the German
umpire was its salvation, and none
KNOWS better than they that future
achievement is to be found only in its
preservation. What wonder is there
then that the people of the Empire
should pay homage to the man who,
more than any other. made their coun.
Try what it isP And what ,better evil
sdence is needed to prove the satisfac
ZION OF the German people than the
celebration above referred to?

GLADSTONE MAY HE PREMIER
AGAIN.

Tho changes TINT are imminent ia
the Liberal party III England, aud the
declared purpose OF Lord Roseberry
to retire from the Premiership leads
to the belief that MIR. Gladstone's I'M
expected return from Riviera, means
moro than simply return to II seat in
Parliament. but that under some con
ditions he may be called upon to again
assume the leadership of the ministry.
His health has been restored and ho Is
without doubt the only man in the
Liberal ranks who has the confidence
OF. tho people.
Taking these facts in consideration
aud the great need of his directing
hand, the English people are saying
that despite his age he Is tho only man
that can save the Liberals from disrup-
ton. 1t may be. however, that Mr..
Gladstone'a return Is only for the pur-
pose OF consulting as TO the party q
course i'll future. Still. tho feeling ia
that it would hardly bo surprise
should he be again called 10 the head
