1s screwed to the shelf the edge of the
shelf is placed resting on the cleats or
strips of wood, and the bracket is
screwed to the box and the shelf to the
cleats. Thus securely fastened the shelf
becomes immovable, and there is not
the slightest danger of it's slipping or
tipping.
A work table can be made of any or
binary square topped table one may
happen to have, or small kitchen table
with legs painted white is even better,
as one may drive tacks into its wood
without conjunction.
The illustration shows how the table
is covered with mating, with flaps
hanging from its four sides. These
flaps are turned up at the bottom to
form pockets for papers, magazines
or sewing. The tea box mating will be
found best for this use, and any folds
or creases may be pressed out of it by
Just dampening the mating, then
spreading it out and placing on top fiat
boards and heavy weights. When the
mating is dry it will be smooth and
fiat. The pockets can be made to cling
closely to the flaps by pressing in this
way The edges of the mating are
bound with turkey red cotton.
How convenient such bepocketed
little stand must be anyone who has
tried to keep her possessions together
when enjoying a breezy day on the
piazza will understand.

FARM AND HOME.

When there Is a crack in the stove it
can be mended by mixing ashes and salt
with water.
To clean willow furniture use salt
and water and apply with a coarse
brush, and dry thoroughly.
Cold sliced potatoes fry and taste bet
ter by sprinkling a tablespoonful of
-four over them while frying.
Figs that have become dried may be-
come freshened by laying them upon a
plate and placing the plate in steam
er until the fruit is softened and full.
Roll the figs in confectioner's sugar and
let them stand in warm room awhile.
Gooseberries bring high prices be-
cause they are not grown extensively
owing to the labor required to prevent
mildew, etc. This, however, should en-
courage farmers to grow them, as any
labor that can be applied in that direc-
ton win be amply repaid in prices.
a zinc bathtub may be polished very
satisfactorily with kerosene. Have the
tub perfectly dry before using the oil.
Cover one small place at time with the
oil, rubbing it well with brush and
then cloth. When all parts have been
cleansed, wash the tub with boiling
water.

An Appropriate and Easily Made Gift
for Man or Woman.

very simply and will prove exceedingly
useful.
Twelve heavy envelopes, bound to-
gether and covered with a suggestive
outside case, will make receptacle
for each months receipts, and file them
away in such order that they may be
referred to at moments notice, dur
ing a whole year. The best and most
durable envelopes for this purpose are
the heavy brown paper ones, or those
linen lined, used eften for legal docu-
ments.
These may be just tied together with
narrow ribbon, if one does not wish to
regularly bind them. but it is much
better to glue narrow strip OF linen
to each envelope and sew them all light
~ together, after which the cover
should be attached. The style of this
latter should depend upon the probable
preference of the one for whom the
gift is intended. A dainty embroidered
linen cover with ribbons to tie makes
a pretty finish for the nicely-appointed
desk of "milady" who perhaps has Dres-
den fittings.
In this case the cover might be en-
broidered in Dresden design and tied
with 6lue ribbons, or heavy paper
can be painted in water color in the
same way. If this file is intended for

on to tie it either, but make leather
band, with button on one end and a
rubber loop and buttonhole on the
other, so that it can be easily fastened,

nicely. Men do not like to tie and unite

and do not forget to mark each en-
velope with the name of the month, the
receipts of which it is intended to hold.
A variety of suggestions as to styles
of covering will occur to the minds of
those undertaking the work, but the
use of durable envelopes and the meth
cd of fastening them together with tape
or bands of linen are two essential
points to be observed if the case is TO

opes wear out quickly, and when prop

YOUR SILK UMBRELLA.
1t Can BE Easily Ruined by Careless
Treatment.


Many a fine umbrella IS cut off in
youth through the carelessness of its
owner. Take, for example, good silk
watershed. If you will examine the
weave, usually twill, you will notice
that it is extremely sensitive.
Silk is moderately strong and elastic,
a long and patient sufferer, but when 1t
does begin to give out it gives out very
rapidly. You will notice that it is not
bomb proof. neither is ii hand proof.
Now, the more you put your hands on
the silk the worse it is for the umbrella.
1t is therefore a great mistake to catch
your closed umbrella around the silk
and go swinging along as if it were d
club and could endure any amount Of
rough usage.
The moisture of the @nd Injuries the
silk far more than does the occasional
transforms. When carrying an UNI
brella, whether for protection or for
style, hold it by the handle. Another
point regarding the umbrella: When
closed do not hammer the walk with the
fcrrule as you pace along. This spoils
the top of your umbrella and is not
good for the ribs.
Close-rolled umbrellas are now the
rage-have been for some time. The
modern silk umbrella is intended 10 be
a graceful addition to a mans style. as
well as his protector. The way to roll
an umbrella is simple, but the rule is
commonly ignored; hence the number
of those badly rolled.
To dry an umbrella, open it, secure
the catch and rest it with the end on the
ground. To roll an umbrella shake out
the silk until no part of it is confined
between the ribs but all hangs free.
Then place the top of the handle in the
palm of the fand, with the fingers
closed to form d circle. With the right
hand, palm down, grasp the tips of the
ribs; turn the umbrella from you with
the right hand. at the same time turn
ing the left hand toward you with a
downward motion. Then hold the UNI
brella firmly with the left hand, while
with the right you take a fresh grasp
at the same place as before and turn,
until the left hand reaches the right;
then when the strap or ribbon is Sc
cured the umbrella will be perfectly
smooth, with every fold neat and snug
and the tips in an orderly circle near the
handle,-Chicago Tribune.

all to be made at home.
This is made of box covered with
mating. The box chosen for this pur-
pose should be of a convenient height
and with square ends if possible. After
the mating has been neatly tackled on,
shelves made of wood and painted white
are secured TO the box with either iron
or wooden brackets as shown in illus
tration. In putting on the brackets it
is best to screw to the box two narrow
strips of wood just below the place the
shelf is to occupy. When the bracket

The shades OF night were falling fast
As through his native village passed
A man with saddened eyes, and dim,
With this sign fastened onto him:
"Klondike"
His eye. like phosphorescent spark.
Glowed like a cats eye In the dark;
His cheeks afame with inward fire,
AS muttered he his one desire:
"Klondike."
All fleeced and woolly was his coat.
From off a sheep or billygoat:
A coonskin cap was on his head
He hurried on and only said:
''Klondike."
A spade to dig the golden sand
He carried in his strong right hand;
His left ten-quart pail did hold,
In which to bring his dust of gold
From Klondike.
Beside him trotted as he went
A humble dog with sorrow bent; N

THE NAUGHTY DAME.
How n Young Man Got Even with Her
for Rudeness.

for Rudeness.
She was a tall woman and somewhat
angular. Her clothes were in the eX-
IRENE Of fashion and her big summer
hat was alive with nodding flowers.
There were traces about her of former
beauty, but most of them were only
dimly reminiscent. She walked the
streets as if she held the deeds of them
in her white-gloved hand, and people
looked after her in profound wonder.
When she reached Pittsburgh station
at Euclid avenue she failed to notice
the ting-ting-ting Of the bell which
warningly heralds the closing of the
safety gates, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. She stalked steadily forward
and the bar which falls across the
sidewalk was descending directly above
her devoted head. a half dozen people
called to her. A policeman shouted.
She never turned her nodding head
gear. Then, just as the descending tim
Der touched her hat man sprang for
ward, caught her by the arm and pulled
her aside, the heavy bar grazing her as
it descended.
Sir" she cried, what do you mean
by this rudeness?"

stranger, II simply endeavored to save
you from a cracked skull"

you win excuse me. too, a'am." he
said, "but the young man used no more
roughness than was necessary to save
you from a bad thump on the head"
Il will report you for impudence,"
said the tall dame, with a whitening
look at the policeman. Then she turned
again to the young man. "Let this be
a lesson to you" she said, "and neverre-
peat the offense."
The young man lifted his hat.
Madam" he said, 81 trust that moth
