After they are fastened, round off
the top corners, as shown in the illus
tration, and from piece of wood, cut
curved feet so they will spread apart
for distance of II or IA inches, using
as a pattern the lines shown in figure 3.
Two of these feet secured to the
lower end of each upright will act as
support to prevent the screen from
topping over, and they should be
made fast with glue and oval-headed
screws.
These pieces may be cut out with
compass saw, or if you have a vice
the nook can be shaped with a draw
knife.
Inside the strips forming the opening
to be filed with the screen material
nail pine strips three-quarters of an
inch square all around, against
which the material is to be tackled fast.
Have your sister help you gather
the material Oh a string at top and
bottom, and begin at the top to tack
1t to the frame with small carpet
tacks.
Then attach it along the bottom
edge, at the same time drawing it
tight, and at last secure the edges of
the material to the strips.
= BEFORE the material is attached to
the frame the woodwork should be
Stained and vanished, to give it
good finish, and, if it is to be placed in
"a room where the woodwork is of
certain color, the frame may be stain
ed or painted to match.
The material is to be tackled at each
side of the screen and when in nlaco
the raw edges should be bound with
gimp that in turn may be held in place
by large oval head brass upholsterer's
lacks that can be purchased at hard
ware store for a few cents a dozen.

A COSTLY NAP.

Five Minutes Sleep Cost the Funny
Man Five Dollars.
They were talking of hotel rates,
and each man seemed moved by wild
desire to prove that he had been more
completely buncoed in his time than
any other man present. And with
this end in view they had managed to
enumerate some pretty extensive hotel
bills.
The young man who wrote funny
paragraphs was the last to give his ex-
perience.
"It may seem extravagant to you"
he remarked carelessly, but l paid SIS
this morning for five minutes sleep
"The deuce you did," chorused the
crowd, incredulously: The statement
established a record, ana they didn't
like it.
Il did that" continued the para
grapher. Il awoke this morning at
$50. I lay awake for ten minutes.
and while awake thought CT two jokes
so funny that l laughed ar them my
self But 1 was to lazy to get up and
make note Of them, and so l laughed
myself to sleep again.
"WelI?"
''The boy called me at S:45. had
absolutely forgotten that IS worth of
jokes-and there you are'-Boston

IN MEMORY.

Death is calamity TO be dreaded at
any time, but when he comes, and Wlth
ruthless hand, takes the young wife and
sister that has filled lost mothers place
and been the guide and counselor to her
Younger sister and brothers, her depart
,lre is a calamity indeed. Such was the
nosition that Mrs. g. w. Tayloe (nee
Maggie Perkins, occupied, who passed
away Sunday might in her Both year.
Her life was literally spent in love and
devotion for the good OF others. When
first blooming into beautiful womanhood
her kind and affectionate mother died,
leaying four little boys and a sister TO
her care and protection. She assumed
the responsibility that the ways of mys-
terious Providence had imposed upon
her, with the bravery of true heroine,
and from that day to the present she
has filled not only the place of devoted
sister. but that higher and nobler one,
tha place of her mother ito her brothers
and sister.
Thirteen years ago Mr. G. w. Iay-
loe. our present efficient postmaster, led
her TO the altar and claimed her as his
bride. One beautiful daughter, the fruit
of their union, weeps beside dead moth
er's bier.
| About a year ago, we think, to the
| consternation of those that loved her
her faithful physician announced thai
| that fatal disease consumption, had
The news & observer., 1897-03-13

marked her as one of its victims, from
which she suffered until, rs quietly as
the babe falls asleep, she passed away
to that mysterious country only known to
us by types and shadows. If there was
ever a life spent in doing good in minis
tering to the wants of others, that was
Mrs G. w. Tayloe.
God bless the brothers who will follow
such sister to the open grave, and sooth
the rangs of sorrow that will pierce the
absent sisters heart. God bless the
Kind and affectionate husband and the
i;ttle orphan daughter as they stand in
the deepening shadows and realize the
loss of the faithful wife and affectionate
mother. May one and all realize that
the most beautiful life that goes out here
IS spent in doing good and making the
pathway OF others brighter and smoother
We extend sympathy to all that loved
this noble woman. She will be missed
in her own dear home, but not more
so than in the homes of the poor of this
community, who will ever testify that
her footsteps were often a blessing and
a benediction, and if ever a monument
lis erected to her memory on it should
be inscribed, "She devoted her life ito
the good of others"
Though she died early she fulfilled her
mission on earth as grandly and nobly
as if she had fingered on to wrinkles and
gray hairs.
The funeral viii take place tomorrow
morning at II O'Clock from st. Peters
church. The interment at Oakdale Gem

Official Organ.

At the annual meeting of the Flor
ida Tobacco Growers Association
the Florida Agriculturist was made
the official organ of the association.
This will place the Agriculturist in a
position to give the best information
on the subject, and hence will oe of
double value to our readers, on ac-
count of the great interest taken in
the tobacco business. We viii. also
publish an exchange column for orr
readers, in which they can offer this
crop, and also for the buyers, so they
can make known their needs. Any
one interested in the subject of to-
bacco growing can write for infor-
nation, and the editor will try to do
his best to furnish same. If you have
anyone in your section growing to-
bacco, who is not a subscriber to the
Agriculturist, please call their atten-
ton to this notice. They will appre-
ciate it.
