 Another lamp to be desired, seen in a studio noted for its fascinating col. lection vf old brasses and glass, was fashioned of one of the brass milk cans which are among the finds of Holland. The can had been slightly beaten and highly polished, and into its four-inch neck was fitted lamp fount. A yell low silk shade added the finishing touch.
 In the den of a bachelor foundation for lamp has been laid with three Turkish daggers. Their handles, rest ing on the table, the curved blades hold the fount. The original thought which designed this unique ornament has car ried out the oriental scheme in the shade, which is made of brightly striped silk scarf of Turkey.
 The fortunate posseSsor of two tall, single candelabra of tbe Empire period has, with the aid of pale yellow and @ turquoise blue lamp bulb and shade to match, added two of the most charming Illuminating vehicles imaginable to her artistic menage. The same little house. wife has supplied much-desired blue and white lamp for a white dining room by purchasing for a mere song a tall candlestick of imitation Delft and supplying it with white porcelain bulb and shade made of blue and white Japanese crepe.
 An inexpensive and in every way sat- isfactory toilet lamp is easily evolved from any one of the pretty porcelain picked up occasionally, at n very small investment, in the leading crockery houses. The simple old brass and silver caudlesticks that are 2 heritage from our grandmothers will also be found very available for the same purpose.-N. '. Times.

WOMAN AND HOME.
DRAwIN0-RooM SCREEN.

Although Rather Elaborate, One Can Be
 AIado It Moderate Expense.
 TEere is no minor article of furniture perhaps that is more useful in a house thnn a pretty screen. Every drawing room should possess one, for it contrib utes largely to it's coziness, especially in the winter months. To purchase a really nice screen, ready-made, a good round sum must be expended, and even then the article purchased may not prove satisfactory. am giving, there- Gore, a practical suggestion for home. made screen, which, if properly car ried out, will result in charming and useful addition to the drawing-room.
 For the framework of my screen, an ordinary two-leaf clothes-horse will answer admirably; but if particular size and width be desired, a working carpenter will knock you up what you require for trifie.
 Having your framework ready, cover 1t with strong unbleached calico. This will be best done by using small black brads. and covering each leaf cSphiatSlys uC SdiiSO olOulu DC strained very tightly from side to side, and plenty of brads used in the mailing. When these preliminaries are accom- plished the frame is ready for its orna- mental covering.
 The materials required will be as fol- lows: Fine olive-green cloth to cover the screen quite plainly on the outside, a yard of lemon-colored velveteen, and sufficient eau-de-Nil pongee silk to line the inside of the screen, and to cove. half of the front. l am unable to give quantities of material in this instance, as have not suggested any particular size for the screen, which may vary with the tastes of the reader, and the actual making is what I wish to make clear to you.
 It will be seen by the sketch that the crnamcntation of the screen consists of a flight of butterflies upon one leaf and the lower half of the second These are fashioned from the lemon cOlored velveteen, and should be cut out from paper pattern, which may be varied in various positions accord ing to the ingenuity of the W orker, and il is q pretty idea to have the butter flies graduating in size from large to very small.
 These, when cut out, can be fixed on to the cloth in two or three ways;

Red Manicure salve Is Vulgar.

Women never cared more carefully for their nails than now, but the woman of taste avoids extremes in this as in all things. Pink nails are admired be- cause a perfect nail should be thin enough to show the rosy blood be- heath, but naif glowing with the red salve of the toilet table is no better liked than lips and cheeks which owe their brilliancy to the rouge pot. Nor is an artificial polish to be recommend ed; the natural gloss should be main- tained and heightened. The best au- thoritics forbid the use of the nail- brush. Any dust or soil may be re- moved with bit of cotton wound around wooden toothpick or bit of orange wood; the small emery boards which are sold everywhere for the pur- pose keep the under surface of the nail so smooth that little or nothing can adhere,

Repudlated Obligations.

Manufacturers who use alcohol in the arts are up in arms over the failure of the government to rebate the tax as provided in the Wilson tariff law. The section of the law provides that the in- teInal revenue tax of $2.35 gallon on alcohol shall be paid back to manufact- urers upon proof being presented that the alcohol is used for manufacturing purposes. The law has now been in force for twenty months and more, and yet not one cent has been paid out under this provision. This repudiation of an obligation is by instruction of Secretary Carlisle, who has thus pre- vented his deficit from being increased by the addition of $s,OOO, ,OOO, the total amount of rebate claims to date. It is cn1y another demonstration of the fact that the Wilson law is bunco measure. Great things were promised by its en- actment, but, like most democratic promises, they Were made only to be broken.-Troy Times.

HOW TO REGAIN YOUTH,
Busy Women Should Rest at Least On,
 Hour Every Day.

Busy Women Should Rest at Least One
 Hour Every Day.
 Busy women continually resolve to "take things easier," ito rest on their oars for season." and drift on the river of indolence, if only one hour day. We embark on the daily voyage fully in- tending to do this, but before nightfall realize that we have been shipwrecked on the Scylla of duties, real or imagina- ry, or engulfed in the Charybdis of social hurry.
 Why not really make up our minds that one hour daily should be devoted to recreation or resting in some man. ner? Either we will walk an hour, lie down an hour, read an hour, sew, knit, do fancy work, visit or chat with con- genial friend for an hour. In short, we will overturn our common methods for one brief space daily. The result of a months fair trial of this plan will en- courage to further effort in the same di- rection, and in faithful observance of some such system we shall renew our youth like the eagles" while many of the worn and toilsome places will take on new beauties land blossom as the rose."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Truly American.

"The republican party stands for Q foreign policy dictated by and imbued with spirit that is genuinely Ameri- can; for policy that will revive the na- tional traditions and restore the na- tional spirit which carried us proudly through the earlier years of the cen tury. It stands for such policy with all foreign nations as will insure both to us and them justice, impartiality, fairness, good faith, dignity and honor. It stands for the Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself proclaimed it, about which there is no division whatever among the American people. It stands now, as ever, for honest money and n chance to earn it by honest toll. It stands for currency of gold, silver and paper with which to measure our ex- changes that shall be as sound as the government and as untarnished as it's honor."-McKinley.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

DDemocratic organs are making a good deal of sport over "favorite sons'' in the republican party. Democrats don't seem to have many this year. Chicago Inter Ocean.
 DThe treasury deficit for the present fiscal year will approximate $25, ,Oc0, ,OO0. This is an improvement on the proceed ing year. but it is bad enough, nevcrthe- less, to justify all good citizens in doing everything they can to put an end to democratic rule.-St. Louis Globe-Dem- ocrat.
 OThis is an age when vagaries are going down before the pitiless search light of truth and science, and one of the most disastrous collapses of the day is that of the reformers who thought that the way to American greatness was to impoverish American workmen and destroy American manufactures Albany Journal.
 DA non-political tariff convention will be held in Detroit May 2s, the pur- pose being to devise some means of taking the tariff question out of par tisan politics. The democratic cam paign managers win probably endorse suchaproposition with great cordiality, providing that the tariff issue can be re- moved from politics before the coming campaign. It is an issue that they dread.-Troy Times.
 DThe general expectation of the democrats and republicans in congress is that either President Cleveland or ex- Secretary Whitney will be nominated. in spite of what they may say and really feel againstit. Both are given credit for sincerity for many obvious reasons, and yet the question always recurs, if one of them is not to be nominated. who can be; of course, no one has the slight est idea that either of them, if nomi- mated, would decline. = Philadelphia Record.
 DThe smartest net of the adnainistra. tion was to push "the money question~ to the front and try to hide tho misera- ble failure it has made with .ttariff re. form." But it cannot be done.

Cooking Cabbage Without Odor.

Many housekeepers decline to have cabbage cooked in their kitchens be- cause of the disagreeable odor with which the vegetable fills the house. If the servant would but obey the follow ing directions this objection would be reduced to minimum. In the first place the saucepan should be the larg- est the menage affords, and must con tain enough water to entirely cover the cabbage. This saucepan must be placed cn the hottest part of the range and the water be at galloping boil before the cabbage is put in, and must be kept at . boil until the vegetable is done. Last of ali the lid must not be put on the saucepan during the whole process of cooking.

if Icc6lework is not cared for the prct ty in$ects can be fastened to the cloth with good and clear liquid glue, gliding the edges of the wings afterwards with a little paint applied with camel-hair brush The other method is to ap- plique the butterflies on, using a fine gold thread for the purpose; in both cases the effect will be very pretty.
 When this ornamentation is com plete, and glance at the sketch will give an idea of the arrangement, the cloth must be tightly strained over the frame, each leaf separate, using small fancy nails for the purpose of fixing, and being very careful to turn in all edges quite neatly. It will be found best to cut narrow strip of cloth with which to cover the screen where the two leaves join, and this should be nailed tightly and smoothly as last item
 Having then covered the screen. tho upper half of one leaf should be further adorned by full gathered piece of the eau-de-Nil silk, as seen by the sketch. We then come to the inside of the screen, and this is lined entire. y with the eau-de-Nil silk, slightly gathered from top to bottom. A small light photographic shelf can be, if liked, fixed across the top of each leaf, and few pretty fancy brass hooks screwed in the spar that goes across the center will be found most useful for hanging the work bag, etc., upon. Your screen is now complete, and all that is required for finishing touch are few yards of gold tinsc! lace in scrtion with which to edge the screen top and bottom. My design is, perhaps. little elaborate, but it would not prove expensive.-Madame,

 In these days, when everything from an ink bottle to tea caddy is utilized for lamp foundation, with, too, 1t must be admitted, varying success, a really graceful novelty is not to be overlooked. Such one, seen recently, was a lamp evolved from an Italian wine bottle. Into the long, slender neck of a large wicker-bodied Chianti flask was inserted one of the delicate glass lamp bulbs to be found in the leading shops. The shade, most harmonious accompaniment to this ef- fective conceit, was of fine spriggcd msulin gathered very full over lining of white silk.

 An interesting anecdote is told of the late Capt Theodore Julius, whose death occurred recently Some time ago. says the Philadelphia Record, Capt. Julius went over to shipyard in Camden to take look at the old packet ship Tona- wanda, which was being converted into coal barge. The captain took par ticular interest in the old ship because of his having served as mate aboard her in the early COS. While he stood watch ing the old vessel total stranger ap- preached him and asked: Isn't your name Julius?" The captain replied in the affirmative. You were mate on that ship in the summer of 1S63?' "Yes,'' said the captain. You don't remember me-" continued the stranger, 'sbut I remember youiyery we'll l was steerage passenger on the Tonawanda at that time, being on my way to this country. I've been pretty prosperous and I've just bought the old ship and am going to make coal barge of her Strange, isn't it, that should come to own the ship that brought me praeti cally penniless to this country?"
