UNIQUE AND USEFUL.
A Pretty Ornament In the Form Of .
Homemade Flower Vase.


A charming flower vase may be made
in the following manner: Cut imita-
ton petals of the tiger lily in stiff whits
muslin; sew a tiny line of fine wiro
down the center of each leaf, and finally
cover with white velvet, which should
be gummed onto the muslin and then
cut to it's shape with very sharp scis-
sors. When quite dry paint the dots
and lines on each petal with oil paints,
using it as dry as possible. Now make
the stamens of wire, which must be
painted, and gum an atom of brown
velvet onto the top of each. Make a
foundation of thin cardboard covered
with silk or velvet, and sew the various
petals and stamens onto this, arrang-
ing them in as perfect manner as pos
sible. Draw them together so as to
make a hollow space in the center of the
flower, and into this insert an old vase
or . cheap glass tumbler; tie this round,

BANISHEO TO A MONASTERY.
A Rebellious Priest of Bay City, Mich.
Is Punished.

Ol tity,
Is Punished.
Rev. Father Turski, of Bay CITY,
Mich, has been banished to the Trap
pist monastery at Gethsemane, KY, and
forbidden to ever return to that do
cese by Bishop Richter. His offense was
rebellion against the bishop and church
authority, and he confessed his guilt be-
fore the bishop and several priests. He
was assistant pastor in the Polish Cath.
Ole church at Bay City, and did not
agree with Father Matkowsl1i. Their
relations became such that Father
Turski was suspended. He gathered
his followers about him, elected Fa.
Their Matkowski from the church and
offered violence to the bishop when the
latter endeayored to reinstate the eject
ed priest. The Bay City police were
called in several times to restore order
among the riotous factions. Turski
finally confessed his error, and the SEN
tence to the monastery followed, with
the further order never again to visit
the diocese. The sentence to the monas-
terry is for an indefinite period. The
Trappist order is the most severe and
stern in the church. Some of the re.
bellious church members who followed
Father Turski will be restored to the
bosom of the church, but the ban of ex-
communication will rest against the
most violent of them.

CONSOLATION.
(Oririnal-To a Friendl

(Original-To Friend1
If none were sick and none were sad,
What service could we render?
l think if we were always glad
We scarcely could be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration
Earth would grow cold and miss, in
deed,
Its sweetest consolation.
If sorrow never claimed our heart
And every wish were granted,
Patience would die and hope depart,
Life would be disenchanted.
