New Sofa Pillows.

Large silk handkerchiefs make pretty sofa
pillows, when worked with variety of
stitches. A handkerchief with large pat
tern. like palm leaves, is effective. Every
bit of the handkerchief may be covered, or
only little work embroidered n it, as one
desires. Lay the handkerchief on a piec of
cloth and closely haste the edges together.
The pattern may be embroidered with flo.
button.hoIed, feather stitched or any stitches
that are effective and bold. Gold cord sewed
around the pattern makes good contrast.
Jewels may be used on this style OF emf
broidery with good results. In other hand
kerchiefs, some parts are cut away, showing

FoR THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT,
Pearls In Muscle Shells.


Rich finds often made. Here is chance
for the boys and girls to earn some money.
= The lakes and rivers OF Florida abound in
q great variety Of forms Of muscle shells or
fresh water CLANS. These often contain
pearls of great value. The writer knows
in this manner. The animal opens the
valves of its home when feeding, and should
any irritating substance, like coarse angu-
lar grain ofsand find its way in and become
lodged there the animal, unable to eject 1t,
at once proceeds to cover it over with pearl,
the same as is secreted for the upbuilding
OF the inner portion or nacre of the she'll
when it no longer irritates its tender flesh.
Thus pearls are formed. Plunge the shells
into boiling water to kill the animals; the
valves will soon open and the bodies can
readily be removed. Pass each animal, es-
pecially the NANTES on each side, through
between the thumb and finger noting, care
fully if any hard substance be encountered;
il so it is a pearl. Many times several pearls
will be found in one animal. Even very
small or ''seed pearls" are worth 81 90 each
if clear.
The writer has collected Of these shells in
the st. Johns and Volusia county for scien-
tifc purposes and has named several new
species and desires to obtain samples of all
different forms of them from the ponds,
lakes and rivers Of Orange, Lake, Polk and
Osceola counties especially. To all who will
mail me samples Of different forms from the
above named counties, | will return the
postage paid, and if the senders will retain
exactly similar shells numbered or lettered
to agree with the specimens sent will indi-
cate the ones desired and the amount will
pay per dozen for them. Only shells taken
with the animals in, but subsequently re-.
moved by cutting open or boiling need be
sent, as the dead, bleached and discolored
ones are valueless for scientific purposes.
Wrap all specimens in moss, place them
in old tin cans, and thoroughly wrap the can
in stout paper and address as below. Place

A FIGHT FOR AN OFFICE
Insurance Commissioner Higgins Still
Holds the Fort
Senator Gesford is not Discouraged and VIII
Begin Over Again-Gubernationai
Interference Probable

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. &c. Insurance
Commissioner M. Il. Higgins won the pre-
liminary skirmish in the contest brought
against him for the office he holds by Sen
ator Henry c. Gesford of Napa.
The case came up today on demurrer
interposed by Higgins to the complaint of
Gesford, in which the latter alleged that
Higgins was disqualified from holding
office, first, on the ground that he he had
not filed bond in the sum of $4,000, as
required by law; and, second, because he
had accepted railroad pass from the
Southern Pacific Railroad company.
On the first count, Judge Sanderson held
as Governor Markham had approved Elig-
gins bonds in the sum of $1,000 the state
was estopped from proceeding against him
on that ground.
On the second point the court held that
it was not sufficient to allege on informa-
ton and belief that Higgins had accepted
pass, but it must be positively shown.
Higgins was appointed insurance com
missioner in s93 by Governor Markham
and took office in April of the following
year. Soon after his Inauguration Gov
ernor Budd nominated Senator Gesford for
the place and the latter was confirmed.
Higgins declined to vacate and Gesford
brought the suit to dislodge him.
The contestant was in town today, and,
while he expressed considerable surprise
at the decision, he ead he was not at all
discouraged He may appeal from the de-
cision of Judge Sanderson or he may at
tempt to avail himself of the privilege of
amending his complaint.
Senator Gesford says it is possible that
Governor Budd will take a hand in the
matter by directing Attorney General
Fitzgerald to begin an action 10 have Hig-
gins seat declared vacant.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.-The mighty
Zimmerman, whose name is a household
word wherever the art and pastime of
cycling is practiced, will not race in Cali
fornia upon his return from the colonies.
This Information was given by W. j. Wal
ford, Zimmerman's manager, who passed
through this city today en- route 10 his
home in Bristol, England.
"Zimmerman's racing pilgrimage to
Australia, and by the way. his wedding
tour, also, has been series of ovations
from the time he left New York." said Mr..
Waiford. I'm England, when he raced
two years ago, he was very Hospitality en-
tertained, and again, in Paris, where he
made host of friends last year."
AT Ceylon the champion caught maIarial
fever, and has never since been able to re-
gain his old-time form. That explains his
comparatively poor showing in Australia.
For week he will apparently improve,
and then his condition recedes and he can
do nothing. This has been his condition
during all my stay in Australia, the fever
never leaving HIM. He consulted DR..
Musket, one of the most celebrated
physicians there, and was told that he

would never be fit to race in that country
"When / left him he was uncertain as to
what his future movements would be. but if
before the next steamer sails he finds the
doctors words true he will take passage
for this city,
Asked as to the champions future move
ments, Mr.. Walford said that he would
never race again. He is president of the
Zimmerman Manufacturing company of
Freehold, N. j., and will henceforth devote
all his enegies to business.
There is lots of money to be made in
Australia by racing" Mr.. WaIford con-
tlnued, "but man going over there must
first get acclimated and then get accus-
toned to the tracks, which are very slow
compared with this country, England and
France. The tracks are five laps to the
mile, and are banked only two feet six
inches. The fastest mile on an Australian
track was 2: O2 40, paced effort by Par
sons. who is the best man in the antipodes.
The track on which the great Australian
wheel race is run annually is of grass,
which is rolled and cut two weeks before
the event.
Australia is sport-loving country, and
the people applaud good riding by any
body. But | can freely make the broad
assertion that no fast man can go there
and ride up to his previous form, as the
tracks are all against fast time"

General Debate on the Pension Bill Brou Oh
to a Close
WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-The general dis
cussion of the pension bill in the house
closed today and tomorrow it will be taken
up by paragraphs.
There was an interesting episode inspired
by Grow, Republican, who declared the
New York chamber of commerce in a
pamphlet widely circulated cast reflections
upon the good faith of the house. The
pamphlet criticised the house for not pay
ing the Canadian sealers 100000. which
it was asserted had been arbitrated and
awarded to the owners of the seized YES
sells.
Crisp, Democrat, made the point that
the pamphlet presented no question of
privilege.
Grow contended that since reflections
upon members of the house were ques-
tons of privilege, the reflection upon the
whole house was much moro privileged.
The board of arbitration did not aw ard
dollar of damages, Grow declared. "If
that had been done it would have been dis
honest not to pay it, and it is a reflection
on the house to say such an award was
made and not paid"
The speaker ruled no question of privi-
lege was presented, whereupon Grow took
Mr.. Govener, Republican, of West Vir-
pinia, favored the amendment restoring
soldiers to the pension roll.
Mr.. Linney, Republican, of North Caro-
lima. an ex-confederate, said that he rec
ognized the principle that the government
owed the duty of pensioning the soldiers
who fought for it, but said he opposed the
internal revenue laws, and added that the
northern states received in pensions nearly
as much as they paid internal revenue
taxes.
Mr.. Bartlett made a vigorous reply to
the attacks which have been made upon
his first speech during the two days since
he defended the commissioner of pensions
against the attacks made upon him during
the debate, and quoted figures to show
that he was correct in his statement with
the exception of Russia, no country paid
more for a standing army than the United
States did for pensions. He denounced as
false the allegation that he was not friend
of the soldier. He approved laws giving
pensions for disability and disease con-
tracted in the line of duty, but did not
think additional laws should be added to
the statute books.
II have been branded as unpatriotic,'
said he. rs he the patriot who takes
