Rough on the Assembly.

Sir Herbert Maxwell, NJ. p, retells a
tale about the lord high commissioner
ship of the general assembly of the
Church of Scotland. When Mr. Disraeli
was forming his administration in 1874,
certain noble earl, noted, in addition
to many estimable qualities, for his fe-
cundity of forcible expletive, expressed
a strong desire to become master Of the
buckhounds. "Well," said Disraeli, 81
had myself thought of that post for your
lordship, but the truth is that her maj
esty is very particular about the Ian
guage used in the hunting field, so l
have determined to submit your name
for her approval as lord high commits
sloner to the general assembly," And to
that post he was appointed accordingly.

thicknesses that are to be stitched, and a
fine machine needle should be used, with
medium sized, rather loose stitch.
Fine cotton should be employed for
basting, and the stitches ought not to be
large, especially where seams are basted
together, as the presser foot of the ma
chine is apt to push the upper thickness
along unless it is firmly held in place by
the basting. Nearly all cloths have an
''up and down." like velvet, even when it
is almost invisible, and care should be
taken to cut the goods so that the pile
runs downward. Where the straight edge
of the cloth forms the side of breadth
cut off the selvage, which is usually very
thick and clumsy. Sew all seams very
carefully so as to avoid the necessity for
ripping, as the marks of previous sewing
can seldom be removed, but if ripping is
absolutely necessary use a small, sharp
penknife and rip in the direction in which
the pile runs without pulling on the rip
ped portions Scrape the wrong side
gently in the direction of the pile to re-
move the cut stitches and press the cloth
in the same direction with a moderately
hot iron. 1t is only by following this proc
ess that the scars can be effaced.
In taking out hastings do not withdraw
them by pulling one end, as this leaves a
line upon the surface. Cut each stitch
and pull it our separately in vertical di-
rection.

HOW TO CARE FOR FURS.
Treat Them, Like Naughty Children. to =
Dose of the Cane.

The time approaches when heavy furs
must be laid aside, and the usual difficulty
looms up as to what shall be done to keep
them from the ravages of moths. The
simplest method is that adopted by fur
riers for the preservation of their goods,
and the simplest method is also the best,
or it would not be employed by dealers
whose prosperity depends upon the good
condition of their stock. All that is neces-
sary is a cushion about 20 inches square
and a rattan cane about yard long. Place
the fur upon the cushion with the pile up
permost and whip it vigorously with the
cane, moving the fur upon the cushion

SENT DEPUTY TO JAIL.
Sheriff Doht Has One Committed
for Nagrancy.


New York, Dec. 25.-Many strange oc-
currences happen in Queens county, and
now deputy sheriff has been sentenced to
ten days in Jail at the COunty's expense on
the charge of vagranCy, and his superior
officer, the sheriff, Will look after his well
being during that period OF time.
The sheriff OF Queens county, whose baili-
wick embraces the greater part OF Long
Island outside OF BROOKLYN. has recently
scored a hit with himself by his surpaSSing
ability as a CLEANER of vagrants, whose
support at the public's expense nets the
sheriff a profit which has made this merry
Yuletide a particularly merry one for him.
But lust on the eve of Christmas there
was Il sudden and, to the sheriff, most
annoying stoppa ge in his supply of
tramps, and as the genus tramp is
prone 20 give himself into the hands OF
the law about this time so as 20 get a
whack at the Christmas banquet pro-
yided for the enforced guests of the
county, Sheriff Doht could not comprehend
why the steady supply which had been
chipping in so liberally to his Christmas
bills against the county should be sud
denly stopped.
And so, being man prolific of re-
sources in an emergency, he. through the
aid of Patrolmen MensChen and Gaughran,
captured Deputy Sheriff Leo Gerhardt, a
middle-aged resident OF Maspeth, as he
was wandering about on the outskirts OF
Long Island City. and had him committed
to Jail for ten days under the vagrancy
law.
And Leo, being a man who keenly fe.'ls
the necessity of standing by the sheriff
in such matters, has gone to his cell with
q blithe and happy heart and says that his
Christmas holidays spent i'll the good cause
will be very, very merry ones.

The affair happened at Fourteenth and
streets northwest, in front of Petit &
