TWO OLD OCCUPATIONS.
Queer Methods by which Some WOm-
en- Earn a Livelihood.

en- Earn Livelihood.
When necessity conpels woman is
marvellous inventor, Some of those
who are suddenly left to shift for them
selves resort TO queer methods to earn
a livelihood. For some time a number
of women in New York have been doing
professional mending. Experiences
with the needle is the only preparation
necessary for this business. The mend
ers are missionaries in a way, for they
seek out bachelors at their boarding
houses, apartments and hotels. and
make contract to keep buttons on
coats, vests and trousers, to darn ho-
siery and to close up rents in clothing.
The price charged for such service
varies according to the size of mans
wardrobe. This scheme of a peram-
bulating repair shop appeals to the aver
age man, for it means money in his
pocket. Tailors charge good round
sums for odd jobs, and woman fixes
up many things that tailor would not
touch. 1t is easier, too, to have a wom-
an drop in while man is away at bust
ness and rid him of all the worry about
the condition of his clothes.
a Philadelphia woman has hit on a
novel plan of converting muscle into
cash. When her husband, laboring
man, died, leaving her with four small
children, with healthy appetites, she
decided to become a professional clean
er of kitchen floors. She has worked
her speciality to advantage and is so
efficient that her regular customers
would as soon think of allowing
plumber to tune grand piano as to
permit anyone else to touch their
kitchen floors. Many kitchen floors
nowadays are made of hard wood or
tiles or are covered with oilcloth or
linoleum. An expert can clean them
with great rapidity, as this woman has
proved. She makes the average floor
as neat as wax in half an hour, and
charges only 25 cents for doing So
She carries her own tools, soaps and
cloths for getting the dirt off and put
ting the shine on. and leaves things
spick and span behind her. For each
customer she has certain half hour
on a certain day. She is an exact wom-
an, and, knowing this. her customers
have the kitchen ready for her. She
earns from three TO four dollars a day,
and says she likes the work better than
standing behind counter.

WARM RECEPTIONS.

Havana, Dec. BIT is officially an
nounced that the Spanish forces under
the command of General Pando, in
the province of Puerto Principe, have
been pushing the insurgent leader,
General Maxine Gomez so closely
that he was obliged with about two
hundred men as his escort, to seek
refuge in the woods and mountains of
Las Delicias. The commissioners sent
by General PandO to different parts
of the island with instructions to nego-
tate with the insurgents for their ac-
ceptance of the autonomous feature
of the government proposed by Spain,
have not returned in a single case,
which seems to confirm the report
that some of them had been hanged
by the insurgents and others have
elected to remain with the enemy. 1t is
reported that Juan Delgado, insur-
gent leader, has hanged two commits
siOners who were sent to him with pro-
positions.

FLOWER DoILIES.

the material is the finest ecru grass

with pink embroidery silk, and the
shadings and veinings delicately indi-
Gated with fine floss. The pattern is
supposed to represent hollyhock, but
it will easily be seen by the outlines of
a rose, pansy and sunfower how other
flowers may be adapted to the round
shape that is necessary.
A simple way Of obtaining fat pat
tern of flowers or leaves is to have two
panes of glass of exactly the same size,
and TO arrange a pattern or a simple
flower or leaf between them, pressing
them flat. If the would-be designer
is no draughtswoman, the upper piece

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofuia Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began TIC have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which l feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. S. WRoTEN, Farming

four small eobs. To do this, press the
points together, and push down firmly
until but one-fourth of an inch is left,
thus forming strong wire loop. Now,
take the two larger cobs and hang both,
by these loops, to the fifth hairpin,
which must be pushed firmly into the
large end of the largest cob. These form
Mr.. Jimmie's legs, which are thus en-
abled to move about quite naturally.
Make hole clear through the larger
cob, from side to side, about three
inches from the top. Pass a strong
cord through the wire loop of one of the
popcorn cobs, run it through the hole
Of the body cob into the loop of the
other body cob, and back again through
the hole, then tie the two ends firmly
together. This finishes the body of
Jimmie, whose arms and legs swing
naturally.
To make Jimmie's face, draw piece
of white muslin smoothly over the up
per part of the cob, sewing it firmly
just above the arms. Paint his features,
or draw them with ink, and be sure to
give him a smiling countenance. Now,
make pair of trousers of some bright
color, slip them over his legs, and fasten
them firmly about his body. A strip
of another color drawn smoothly
around him and fastened at the back
forms his shirt. Make loose coat, with
sleeves, slip it on, fastening it only at
the neck; add a bow of bright tape for
a necl1tie, and Jimmie Cobb is ready for
presentation. A child will get more
solid satisfaction out of this doll than
from dozen "breaky" dolls, as our
little girl calls them.-Mae Myrtle

dress, the skirt of which was arranged
in perpendicular plaits in front, stitched
across at intervals, and, unknown to

ball, and it caused great perturbation
