ODD FURNITURE.
HOW A PRETTY PIECE MAY BE
EASILY MADE.

A Homemade Tabouret Receptacle Which
Has the Appearance of an Oriental stool
and May Be Constructed With Few
Tools and at Little Cost
A very attractive, as well as an odd,
piece of furniture is shown in the il
lustration, and, while it is something
that any person can make with few
simple tools, and of inexpensive ma
terials, it has the appearance of an
Oriental stool, both in shape and man
ner of decoration.
In the illustration the cover is shown
in a raised position, disclosing pockets
in the interior of the enclosure formed
by the six sides. In these pockets
shoes, rubbers and slippers may be
kept in neat order, where they can al
ways be found just where they have
''een placed, instead of anywhere at
the bottom of a closet.
To make this tabouret, obtain six
pieces of pine boards, each twenty-four
inches long and seven inches wide, and
another piece, about fourteen inches
square.
These boards should be not less than
three-quarters of an inch thick and
planed on both sides.

A Woman Major.

DR.. Belle Reynolds, who was elected
recently held at Los Angeles, Cal, and
who is now practising medicine at San
ia Barbara, where she lives, was one
of the most noted characters Of the late
civil war. She went with her husband
to the scene of conflict, and was an
active participant with the Northern
troops in many engagements. By her
bravery and devotion to the wounded
soldiers she gained fame and the rank
of Major, which was conferred upon
her by Governor Yates, of Illinois-a
title that still clings to her. Mrs. Rey-
nolds is an active worker in the cause
of women.

Upholster the top with curled hair
and denim of some desirable color, and
catch it all around the edges with
large, oval headed tacks, that may be
driven through gimp band to hide the
raw edges of the material.
The entire outside of the tabouret is
to be covered with the denim and held
in pace with oval headed brass up
holsterer's tacks having heads three
Fights of an inch in diameter.
Pockets of denim can be made and
tackled fast to the inside of each side,
and they should be made full enough
to receive a pair of shoes nicely. The
pattern at the front side and the cir
Giles at the lower end of each side are
formed with tacks.
The cover is prevented from falling
back too far by chain at one side, the
ends of which are attached to the I'M
der side of the cover and to an angle
at the side of the receptacle. If paint
ed or enamelled wood is preferred to
the denim covering; the embellish-
ment can be worked out with the tacks
to equally good advantage.

Mrs. Heistand, wife of Major Heis-

Mrs. Heistand entertained at tea
only short time ago, in honor of Miss
0onavin, of New York. her guest, Miss
Barber and Miss Mckinley, guests at

GOWN with high bodice of net over a
ow cut satin waist, but not so those
who assisted. Miss Donavin's white

and cerise velvet about the low bodice.
Miss Barber wore low neck gown of
frilled and furbelowed mousseline de

foot of the winding stairs and served
smiles and punch. She wore decollete

No better proof of the official influ-

than the adoption of daylight decollete.
By decree of Paris and Vienna, gowns
For evening wear have been growing
higher and higher since the season be-

mists of millinery, tulle and chiffon,
hover, clouding alike the loneliness of
beauty and the wreck of effete fair
ness. The Presidents niece has set
fashion, however, and many here fol-
low it. ...
Pink shades and palm screened Or

but these teas have garish matinee

Bread-bnlxing and Hroati-2<e eping.
A stoneware jar, glazed inside, with
lid, makes a fine "bI ead-raiser," better
than those of tin designed for the pur-
pose. 1t retains the heat longer than
tin, and having straight sides, it is cas-
Ter to gage the rising-to tell when 1t
has doubled in bulk.
When bread comes from the oven,
rub the tops over with good, sweet but
ter, lean one end of each loaf on the
bottom of the inverted pan, the other
end ON the bread beard, and cover with
q fresh towel, then with a thick bread
cloth, old table-cloth, and let them
stand until perfectly cold. If a hard
crust is preferred, q o not use the butter
nor covers.
Keep bread in tone jar with close
fitting lid, or in a regular tin bread
box-either of which should be kept as
sweet as rose by thoroughly scalding

regarding time for bread-making is
this: In winter, mi, bread in the even

stretches of sand and boulders, were

and fine shirt waists are now made
things of beauty lis we'll as useful.
They are wound with cotton batting
and then covered with a full piece of
china silk to match in color the decora-

in. The silk is made one-eighth of a
yard longer than the holder at each
end, piece of ribbon is tied around
it, and the frill OF silk is left to hang.
The hook for hanging the holder is
wound with silk and finished with

in good shape they perfume it, the bat
ting being freely sprinkled with some
fragrant powder before it is wound

OFHiS NEWLY DISCOVERED REM
EDIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
1873 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more SO is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
