But yet the good instrument with a

Can Do Something.

There are many persons of benevolent
spirit who are not able to contribute a
large sum at any one time, who express
regrets that they cannot do something
for philanthropic work. Some of them
simply regret their circumstances. 9th
ers enjoy doing the small but possible
thing, and doing it often. We have in
our mind just new two ladies in Maine,
who. probably would find it inconvenient
to send ten or twelve dollars at a time
to Good VIII Farm but with a prompt
ress and regularity. which is an en-
{ engagement and inspiration to us, each
sends 81 at the beginning of every month.
Each must have quite a packet of Good
Will Farm receipts. and the aggregate In

in the parlor, oars Oh the piazza and
dumbbells wherever they best can trip
unwary feet. OF course n expects to
have more freedom in such matters
when in a summer cottage than when
at home, but nevertheless it is a little
hard on the individual who has to
stumble over the the things, or IN the
lady of the house, who would like to
have her surroundings as neat as pos
sible.
With a timely remembrance of these
conditions, The Standard Designer illus
trates and explains a cOntrivance which
will appeal strongly to both parties,
and the athletic party should also ap-
prove Of it., for be or she can be sure of
the whereabouts of the different para
phernalia instead Of spending valuable
minutes in hunting up the same.
The closet is made large enough to
accommodate the bicycle and long
enough for a pair of stable oars to lie
in the back. Above the closet a most
handy little bracket holds the bicycle
pump, lantern, ETC., while in the corner
cabinet can be kept the oarlocks, re-
pairing tools, dumbbells, etc. The
whole affair is rather slightly than
otherwise, for the woodwork can be
painted or planned and vanished ard
the curtains made of canton flannel,
Mexican blankets or felt-whatever
matches the furnishings of the hall or
dining room best.
The hall will be found decidedly the
best place for it, as the oily Cdor which
is generally inseparable from bicycling
outfits would moi perhaps be altogether
agreeable TO sensitive nostrils at meal
times. With an arrangement at one end
for umbrellas and a row Of pegs above
it the continuance will take the place Of
a hatrack nicely. Even if not needed
for a bicycle, the closet will be found
most convenient for the various odds
and ends that are bound to accumulate
in summer time-hammocks, fishing
rods, croquet or tennis sets, etc.
For a much more elaborate develop
ment of the same idea The Designer ad.
vises the service of a carpenter or cab
met maker, as it would be impossible
to find a dry goods box of Just the right
dimensions. As it is, the piece of furni-
ture is quite ornamental and would not
look out of the way in u city hallway.
The upper part has a mirror let into it,
and on each side of this are pegs for
hats, those coming at the outer edge
being for overcoats. Both of the bicycle
closets should be lined with felt paper,
if they are made for a seaside cottage,
as then the dampness will not penetrate
readily.
Enamel paint can be used to make
these closets a little more showy-that
is, those that have the woodwork ex-
posed-or they can be sandpapered
smooth and then stained and vanished

Warmed Over Silver Arguments.

With the rising tide % prosperity
contradicting all of Mr.. Bryan's the
cries, and with the great food of gold
that is pouring into the markets of the
world from Alaska, from Colorado,
from Utah and from South Africa, the
silver fad appears to be doomed to an
early death. 1t will hardly survive an
other year. In Ohio, Kentucky and
Iowa the Democratic and Populist ora
tors already find it hard to get audiences
to listen to a repetition of their old,
warmed over silver arguments of last
year.
