THE HOME BEAUTIFUL.

Some really original salt cellars are
shell-shape and relief from the usual
pattern.
A pretty idea long familiar to the
French is the luxuriously embroidered
chamber towel, with long grille fringes
of silk and cotton.
Table centers are made of colored
or shot silk, with insertions of gold-run
guipure, and butterflies and flowers are
appliqued on the silk. Some are entire
ly of lace, with Louis Seize medallions
in silk.
On old oak or Chippendale tables
teacloths of finest Breton lace, with in
sertion of Cluny, look the best. Some
have open work ecclesiastical designs
and come from Austria, France and Ire
land.
Silken sofa pillows in French tapes
try, with pineapple pattern wrough.
in gold, are popular. So are pillows of
hand embroidered satins on grounds OF
dull blue and terra-cotta or conven-
tional poppies on green, with founces
of art silk.
White china for ferns and flowers is
ever popular, and there is growing
tendency among young housekeepers
to buy the pure white china, as table
never grows tiresome if decked in spot
less ware with the necessary color added
in centerpiece or bit of wedgwood.
Great is the variety of china and glass
set forth on fashionable tables. The
thick, diamond-cut crystal or nodded
glass can be had for the asking-tube
flower vases adapted to the long stems
of chrysanthemums, shell-shape bon
bon dishes and china with graceful
curves and designs.

NOVELTIES JUST PATENTED.

Lanterns can be carried on the ends
of wagon tongues, instead of on the
wagon body, by means of a new holder,
which consists of cap to slide over the
end of pole and support bracket for
the lamp, and wire guard to keep the
horses from striking it.
To safely transport animals in or
dinary railroad cars portable stall
is used having four corner posts set in
the movable floor and supporting an ad
Unstable roof, with feed trough hung
on the post at one end and padded
boards extending along the sides of the
stall.
a Michigan woman has patented an
improvement in screen doors to keep
flies out when the door opens, construct
ed of flexible folding sections, which
allow the guard to collapse as the door
shuts, the device being attached TO the
top and upper portions of the door and
casing.
To prevent the slipping of belts on
pulleys movable pieces are set in the
wheel rim and held in place by springs,
which allow the pieces to protrude be-

circumference of the wheel and tight

A SMOKING LAMP.

There is no economy in using a cheap
oil. 1t does not give SO good light and
is very dangerous.
In selecting lamp it is we'll to choose
one with a shallow reservoir, for il the
oil is at too great distance from the
burner it tends to make the flame drop
lower as the oil diminishes. Reservoirs
of metal and stout glass are advised.
Wcks are important. They must
be cut off so they will not lie along the
bottom of the lamp. as long immersion
in oil hardens them. If lamp smells
or smokes without cause it is sure
sign the wick wants changing.
Those who have their surroundings
spick and span and are afraid of lamps
smoking the walls and ceilings should
have tops to the chimneys. In putting
out light do not blow down the Chin
ney; turn the light down and blow
across the top of the chimney.
Cleaning chimneys is vexed ques-
ton. If they are washed and imper-
fectly dried they are apt to break when
the wick is lighted. New chimneys. If
put in cold water and gradually boiled.
are not SO apt to break afterward.
Burners must be kept absolutely clean
and fresh and at intervals should be
boiled in soda and water.
A point overlooked by people who
complain of lamps smoking and Civ
ing forth bad odors is that on no ac-
count must lamp be filled and lighted
after it has been laid aside unused for
some time until the old oil is all emp
tied out. The interior should be well
scalded and new dry wick put in. In
fact, if a lamp is in constant use it
should be rule that the reservoir is to
be emptied and scalded once a month.

DON'T DO THESE.

Don't steal another mans good name,
even if your own is worn out.
Don't raise your hand against your
husband-broomhandles are plenty.
Don't pattern after the busy little
bee. It's the other fellow that eats the
honey.
Don't monopolize one color in your

feet of ruby lips.
Don't bet with your wife, unless you
ere prepared to lose. whether you win
or not.
Don't look gift horse in the mouth.
Sell him for what you can get and let
the other fellow look.
Don't judge man by the clothes he
wears. Form your opinion from the
wearing apparel of his wife.
Don't be clam. Il you must be any

you will have little snap about you.
Don't take bull by the horns. Take
him by the tail and then you can let
go without getting some one to help

POINTS FOR GIRLS.

Individual butter-plates continue in
fashion; the reason for their existence
is a good one, for who would care to
put butter on hot plate? Our English
cousins eagerly buy them when they

wise invention.
The -Four Marys were maids of honor

A good talker is born, not made. BY
reading good books, by keeping ones
self well informed as to the interesting
events of the day, one may become a
good conversationalist. Still, the most
fascinating takers are by no means
those who know the most, but, instead,
those who have the greatest amount
of tact are most sympathetic, versatile,
and, most important of all, have that
wonderful something that, lacking a

"GOO0 OLD TIMES"

My grandsire tells of the good old times,
And stops now and then to sigh;
For he says that this era of frauds and
crimes
Makes him yearn for the days gone by.
And he makes me feel, while the tear drops
steal
To my eyes as mourn my fate,
That my ill-starred birth brought me onto
this earth
A decade or so too late.
He tells of the actors who trod the stage
They didn't need scenery then
And II does him good to recall the rage
OF some eminent public men.
People didn't neglect to display respect
Deliberate and profound,
And they'd never waste in unseemly haste
Their energies getting round"
Yet the world is moving and toiling still,
And loving and laughing, too;
And honest purpose bends with will
To the work that II finds to do
And mighty men WELD the sword and pen,
And the lightning leaps forth to bear
Each truth in turn that the world may
learn
Its lesson from everywhere.
And so. as think, 1t occurs to me
That some day my turn will come,
When on bygone glories with comments
free
I'll make my posterity glum.
III tell him some day when my grandsire
gray
O'er those good old times" may moan.
That these we'll find when they're left be-
hind
Are the best old times yet known.

FREELAND, PA, DECEMBER 6. 1897


Authors, like people in general, enjoy
appreciation, and if it is expressed in
directly and with unconscious sim
plicity, it is so much the better. The
Chicago Times-Herald tells how a west
crn novelist treated man who showed
tional, not to say unsophisticated. Mr..
Opie Read was at the Press club when u
tall, gaunt stranger from Arkansas ap-
preached him and began fishing in his
the stranger's-pockets. Got let
ter of introduction to you hyarabout
ome'ere," he said. Had the darndest
time findin' you," he continued. Got
into town yesterday afternoon, and last
night started out to look you up. L
thought, probably, the folks at the tele-
graph Office would know you, but they
you, nuther. Then l went to a news
paper shop, and they sent me over
here" By this time the visitor had
found the missing letter of introduc-
llOn. III was written WIN q lead pencil
in a schoolboy's hand, and the spelling
was decidedly phonetic. Opie scrutin-
lied the signature closely. John Scrug-
gins" he said, musingly, John Scrug
gins. l don't recall Mr.. Scruggins."
That's my boy" said the visitor. proud
ly. Hes been to school in Little Rock
all winter, and so when I got ready
awhile ago to come to Chicago, told
him to write me letter of intr' 'duction
to you, and he did it. What's the mat
ter with the letter? Aint it writ all
right?" "Oh, yes; it's all right" said
the novelist. And it was; for the man
from Arkansas spent pleasant after
noon at the club.

be in the employers themselves. They
must see that these conditions cannot
continue indefinitely; and with their
vast property interests at the mercy of
lawlessnessness, they of all men should
make themselves conspicuous examples
of obedience to the laws.
If employees will not respect and obey
the laws relating to labor, and the en-
ployes dare not appear as prosecutors
without peril to their employment, the
next legislature should come to the relief
of very large class of the workingmen
of the state, and assert the absolute
majesty of the law by providing the
best possible methods for its enforce
ment. In this free country no man,
