by so doing incurred the displeasure of his

no business to walk into the trap set on pur-

will not look with favor upon the malicious
prosecution of freeborn American citizen

Get two yards of black India silk. that which cost about 50 cents a yard, and cut it in six-inch strips lengthwise. Sew them together neat lys pink each edge and plait it in triple box plaits. It will be yard or more in length when completed, and is an ex- cellent substitute for boa of fur or feathers. Put narrow black ribbons where you wish to fasten it close about the throat. Such boa, if bought at the shops would cost you about three dollars. It need not cost you over one dollar. If you desire ono for the neclI only yard of silk cut in three strins will suffice. It will be very pretty edged with narrow lace.-St. Louis ke. public.

 Common seashore sand will greatly improve the appearance of old velvet and remove all the dust. Sprinkle the velvet well with the fine sand and then Erush until none remains, always brushing the pile the wrong way.
 Funeral flowers are no longer all white, and set pieces are rot desired Boxes of loose flowers arc most often sent by friends. although small wreaths are still used, but have become so full that they are more like a round mat of flowers. At a recent funeral each mem beTebf lnrge family laid a wreath of violets on the mothers coffin.
 Nice handkerchiefs should not be ironed. When rinsed, pass them through wringer, after they have been folded in a fine towel Spread on a sheet of glass (a clean handicapped table, if that abomination is left in the household, answcrs), and smooth till every wrinkle is out. The linen or muslin will cling to the marble or glass and dry with that finish that is on the fine, unstarched kerchiefs just from the shops.
 Sofa pillows are covered with plain silke in delicate colors and have three inch double frill around the edge. A square of renaissance lace is then laid over the pillow and is large enough to partly cover the frill. In place of the plain silk two shades of plain satin ribbons may be used, weaving them in and out, basket fashion, and allowing the ribbons.to extend three inches over the pillow and fringe the ends for q finish.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

 There are few articles that task the purse so heavily as a first-class outfit of fannels, one of those necessities which one cannot avoid. Even though sorely tempted on the score of econ omy it is comraon to choose some make shift. Good all-wool flannels, which every one ought to be able to obtain, because, like wholesome four and wholesome meat, they are necessities, seldom cost less than two dollars apieea& X great many people must go withoiif some other necessity. In old fasbioned times people knitted all their stockings, and it was not .an unsur- mountable task. Where there is plenty of leisure, it is possible thir 2 to Emit undershirts in ribbed pattern of Sax ony yarn, which should be shrunk be- fore it is knit. Such undershirts will outwear any shirts bought in the mar ket at three times their price. It is not possible to get any ribbed under wear that will not shrink in time, but these homemade shirts are as nearly rnshrinkable as it is possible to have these garments. Invalids and little children always should be provided with shirts in this way if it is possible. It is also possible to make very com fortable garments out of flannel. In order to increase their warmth they should be made double across the chest and bowels, and the seams may be con cealed between the double layers. It is not universally known that two layers 1 of flannel are much warmer than is one i of double thickness woven in one piece. IN. Y. Tribune.
