 and one which will prove it's usefulness in the testing.
 Prepare four pieces of cardboard, aH, by Sh inches, cover two with fine white linen and two with buttercup yellow satin. On one linen paint spray of buttercups and grasses and add the suggestive lines in dainty lettering. Leave the other linen plain. Take bands of narrow yellow satin ribbon about one-half inch wide and, laying the plain linen back on the table with the un- finished side up, paste the ribbons to it's edge, leaving about three inches extend ing to the left side; in like manner paste to the inoc- side of one of the satin- covered pieces other ribbons so slanted as to cross each other, extending to the right side.
 Now lay the reverse pieces on each. turning under the ribbons at the edges, pasting the parts together, and when complete you will find you have a set of hinges which will work either way like a swinging door, and the case will! open from either side. In other words, the ribbons should be attached to each cover only at the places in the illustra- tion indicated by the cross (X).
 In one side slip a piece of fine, white flannel, pinked at the edges, for need]es, and under the crossed ribbons on the other put one of the vari-colored silk or thread glove-menders so much in vogue. l.. extremely dainty gift, and the little De. culiarity about the hinges will puzzel the uninitiated and enhance the value of the trife considerably.-Chicago Rec. ord.

In Spite of Determined Opposition It ls
 as Popular as Ever.
 Although writers, importers and modistes have condemned the blouse waist, it continues to thrive and ap- parently gain by it's condemnation. It certainly has not disappeared, for at recent high class dress exhibits it was one of the decided features of the ele. gant and wonderful display. Fitted and draped blouses in silk, satin, chif- ion, lace, Indian muslin, velvet and brocade were ,ariously shown. The blouse, once chiefly recommended for its economy, is now Q costly confection. Once it was merely and strictly used for neglige costumes, now it appears at the most fashionable evening functions, worn by the most fastidious, and made of the most expensive textiles; and granted that its vogue in this domain will be short and that the blouse has really become too general to be elected for by the very particular ones of so. ciety, still its trimness, usefulness, freshness and adaptability will prevent it from going out of vogue, or at least out of very general use. Ultrafashion- able women may possibly abandon it after this summer, but for cool, neat wear under the jacket of travelling costume, for tennis, boating, golfing. cycling and indeed all simple uses, what can take it's place?-N Y.

Why not construct such a corner when the house is cleaned? A broad seat rests on wedges nailed to the walls, not more than 15 inches from the floor. It can be finished in front by Q prettily carved or decorated board painted to harmonize with the other woodwork, or a curtain or valance may be shirred across and tackled with brass-headed tacks and will look equally as pretty.

WOMAN AND HOME.
TO COOK CORNMEAL

.rnen Properly Prepared It Is . Healthy
 Article of Food.
 Women have always been more or loss willing to show their skill in mak- ,,c cake and fancy desserts, but it is only recently that they have appreci- ot.j the value of good cookery. The simple, everyday things are usually considered of the least importance, and entirely neglected. Even the cook hooks give little, and some no informa- ton, about the things everybody should trow. Among these is cornmeal. When i, is properly prepared it is healthy articl, of food. But as it is often cooked it is indigestible and unfit for even stronr stomach. The usual way of r,,king cornmcal mush, for instance Is to stir the meal, without measuring i, into boiling water until it is thick, oDd when it has cooked five or ten min- ptes it is done. By this process it is lard and raw, and wholly unfit to eat lis surprising how much it is improved hy little extra cooking, and it can be made deicacy with very little trouble.
 Take one quart of water, add one teaspoon of salt. When it boils stir Iii slowly one cup of yellow cornmeal. Let il boil for ten minutes, then set it back .on the stove, where it will cook slowly pnl not burn, for one hour, stirring occasionally. Pour into a mold and IAt stand over night. In the morning it will be firm enough to slice we'll. and when it is dipped in grated bread crumbs and quickly fried it will be pleasant surprise to those who have oeen accustomed to eating it the old fashioned way.
 Corn-bread, or "Johnny cake," as it is often called, Is greatly improved by the following directions:
 Put the milk that the recipe calls for on the stove, and when it is hot stir Tn the cornmcal and let it cook for ten or l5 minutes. An easy way to prevent it from burning is to set the dish on ar asbestos pad. This extra cooking re- moves the raw taste of the meal, and greatly improves the flavor of the bread, besides making it entirely di- gestible.-Chicago Tribune.

 bilities.

The Treasury Holds Nothing But Lis- bilities.
 The statement often made in this journal that large percentage of the so-called available cash balance" in the United States treasury is a liability and not an asset, is borne out by the frank admissions of Senator German. During the naval debate the Maryland statesman said that he "conceded full treasury, yet there stood against this balance SIG, ,OOO, ,OOO appropriated before this congress assembled and not yet paid." It was Germans further afr nation that ''it will take every dollar ili the treasury to meet current ex- penses and past appropriations and there will be another raid on the gold re. serve running it down below the $1Oo,. O00,000 mark, and another issue Of bonds" Hence, though the available cash balance" is now alleged to stand at about $275 100000 it represents nothing but that amount of indebtedness, which the government will have topay. Some of the money is due San Francisco for 9 post office, and much more to the sugar makers for bounties. All the seaboard states and most of the interior ones have valid claims upon it. Yet Seers. tary Carlisle holds it under lock and key to sustain the boast that, after all, democratic management has kept the national coffers full to overfowing. It is as if bank should report among it's assets the deeds and bonds it holds in escrow or the money due from it to its Customers.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Foraker's Position.

The democratic brethren never tire in asserting that Senator Foraller is ready to engineer a bolt among the Ohio delegates at St. Louis. So persistent has the democratic press been in this assertion, that it seems to have prompted the senator in his speech on the occasion of an informal reception given him by the Lincoln club of Gin cinnati. In the course of his remarks he said:
 And I may say we are practically agreed as to the candidate, and I believe Maj. William Mckinley will be nominated by exclamation. I may say that Maj. Me Kinley has delegated this work to me, and I think know whereof I speak,"
 Senator Foraker will present McKin- ley's name to the convention, and the inference from the above is that he will move to make the nomination by exclamation unless unforeseen contin- gencies arise. Senator Foraker is a man of honor, and it is 8 gross insult to insinuate that he is capable of the trickery that would be involved in lead ing defection from Mckinley in the convention.-Toledo Blade.
