BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest of humanity. Just
as they reached the middle of crossing
one, of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped di,
rectly in front of cable car which wa,
rounding the corner. OF course the car had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
.Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped tc
the side of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon.
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor man kick that must
have driven his spine up into his hat. And
with the kick Quirk roared:
"Confound you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but PerR
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
You are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save mans life and then kick
him for it.''-Chicago Times Herald.

SIT ON THE FLOOR.
Famous English Physician Declares
This Position to BE n Natural
md Restful One.

An eminent English physician, Sir
James Crichton Browne, who has Won
derful aptitude for making medical
subjects interesting to the public at
large, announces that men and women
would derive great benefit from sitting
on the floor instead of chairs. Women
would benefit even more than men by
the practice.
The position of sitting on the floor
or the ground is more natural than
that of sitting on a chair. 1t was once
general with the entire human race
1t is both healthy and natural.
The exercise of getting up from anG
down to the floor is beneficial.
Through the general adoption of the
sitting position among the civilized
races many muscles have become stiff
or obsolete. Persons who sit on the
floor have strong back and thigh mus
cles. Turks, tailors and shoemakers
are examples of this fact.
If you sit on the floor you can
change your attitude as often as you
please, and can enjoy an endless va
riety of pose, and however often You
alter it and however you may place
yourself, there is never any chance of
your falling Off. If you sit OH the floor
you can achieve all kinds of comfort.
able positions which it is impossible
to obtain even with the easiest of easy
chairs. The influx OF visitors need
never cause anxiety to the well-con.
stituted mind on the subject of chairs.
All he has to provide is a quantity OF
ushions-cushions of every size and
shape. Let guests select any they
please, and it will be their own fault
if they are not comfortable ard happy.
1t is, of course, only desirable to sit
on clean floor.-St. Louis Republic.

PUEBLO POTTERY MAKING.

practically every village makes its own
pottery. The work is usually done by
the old women, who break up and work
the clay, mixing it with small per-
centage of fine sand and proportion
Of pulverized potsherds, obtained pref
erably from some ruin in the vicinity,
where bushels of pottery fragments
can be picked up. When the clay has
been put in good condition, it is rolled
out into fillets and coiled upon itself
like rope. The base or commence
ment of the coil is placed in one of the
fat baskets and the pot remains in this
basket until it is dry enough to handle.
In some antique specimens of pottery
obtained from ruins which were eXhib-
tied at the time of Coronado's eXpedi-
ton, and which are the finest speci-
mems of aboriginal pottery so far found,
the print of the basket in which the
jars were nodded can still be seen upon
their bottom.
Ordinarily no such marks are to be
found. AS the coils of clay are laid on
they are pinched together with the
finger and thumb and the surfaces, in
terror and exterior, are rubbed smooth,
Wonderful uniformity of thickness
seldom exceeding an eighth of an inch,
even in a large piece, is obtained in this
very primitive way.

SMALL PHOTOGRAPH FRAME.

though they were embossed in solid
fine silk embroidery.
The material for the foundation
should be preferably of satin of good
quality, although linen is some times
used
The design for small photograph
frame is quite simple, but it is also
very effective. The ribbons are put in
with solid embroidery, using single
strand of flo floss, and the wreaths
nre worked with ribbon in any pre-
ferred color contrasting harmoniously
with the bowknots. The berries may
be represented by French knots or in
satin stitch raised by working first in
one direction and theI in the other.

woRSTED SOFA COVERS.
Which Years Ago Delighted
Our Grandmothers.

A brand-new idea in sofa pillow COW
ers is the old-fashioned worsted-worked
canvas cover. The design varies. The
swellest is considered to be ones FAM
lily coat of arms or crest. if fortunate
enough to possess one. This may be
sketched by an artist in the proper
colors and done over with worsteds in
simple stitches with which our grand
mothers used to work their samplers,
combined with newer and more elab-
crate combinations TO obtain the de-
sired shadings or accentuate the lines
of the design.
Those who have no right to use n
coat of arms or crest, and very few
there are who cannot scare up some
thing to which he may manage to lay
a claim in forty-second cousin sort of
way, may use his monogram. Or if
the pillow is for the college boy, his col
lege colors, pennant or yell may be por-
trayed in dashing design and appro-
pirate colors in the same manner. OF
course, the college yell has rather been
lost sight of nowadays for the war
whoops of the recent unpleasantness
with the nation which claims to have
discovered us and wishes it hadn't.
The flags of all countries, or the
flags of our navy, or combination of
the stars and stripes with the cross of
ST. George or Cuban flag, or any and
NIL of them, are worked out in the
same cross stitches on canvas and
adorned about the edges with immense
heavy ropes or cords made to order
and containing threads of every color
in the body of the design.
The easiest pillow cover, however, and
the most popular at the present mo-
ment, is the simple fag-each side a
complete flag, and instead of the shape
being square the pillow is made the
shape of the flag, so that "Old Glory"
need not be changed or mutilated by
tie new use to which it is put.

HAD FUN WITH HIM.
An Artistic Landsman Gets Some
Pointers from the jolly Sea
ROVers.

The sailor man, when in deep water, can
not conceal the feeling of superiority with
which he regards the untarred landlubber.
Some of the noncombatants who sailed the
gulf and the Caribbean during the war
learned to keep an eye on the mariners, and
others gained painful experience before they
got their sea legs.
An artist who boarded grimy tugboat
clad in white linen found his coat covered
with coal dust when he was day from port
and decided to wash it. He filled bucket
with sea water and fell to work. When he
had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes he
was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to starch the coat
pockets. He did so, and pulled out-his gold
watch
He was perturbed. The crew laughed and
he rebuked them. They bided their time.
Then one of them told the artist that the
proper way toTestore the coat to its normal
color was to tie line to it, heave it over
board and tow it for few hours. The artist
did so.
When he went below deck hand hauled
the coat aboard, united the line and hiding
the. coat made fast a ragged piece of white
duck and threw it overheard.
When the owner of the coat pulled in his
line he was the angriest man on the tug.
And he didn't know just how to accept a
deck hands glibly made explanation, which
was that shark had seized the coat, until
the garment was restored to HMM. Y.

FINE INDIAN POTTERY.
Really Artistic Specimens Are Pro-
duced by the Men nnd Women
OF the Pueblo Tribes.

Although blanket ana textile weav-
ing is the art product which has made
the Pueblo Indians most widely known,
ry and pottery have equally developed.
The conditions under which these peo-
pie live are so simple and their meth
ods so primitive that the connection be-
tween the three industries is still ap'
parent even to the casual investigator,
says the Scientific American. The elab-
crate blankets are development from
the simple baskets, and the fine pot
terry, easily the best made by any tribe
iii the United States, are little more
than baskets of clay.
There is an abundance of fine clay
throughout the Pueblo country, and

Flowers on the Table.

In the English country houses great
attention is paid to the arrangement
of the flowers on the dining-table. For
even an ordinary family dinner, five
vases are always used and metimes
nine. A set piece occupies the center
of the table, while the other four or
eight are placed on either side. Some
times tall vases alternate with little
ones, each holding single rose, and
on other occasions finger glasses set
in old-fashioned silver wine holders are
used. A favorite bouquet for the
library is made of the beautiful red
poppies mixed with tall grasses.

EASY FANCY WORK.
Expeditions Methods and simply De-
Ightful Results in Ribbon
Embroidery.

Fancy work to hold its devotee at
this season must assume decidedly
light and facile character, and nothing
apparently fits in better than the ere
yived" ribbon work. This ribbon work
of to-day would hardly be recognized
oy our eat-grandmothers as such,
In place of the laborious processes
with which they secured rather stilt-
ed results we have installed an ex-
peditious method, of which the Delin-
Gator has the following to say:
Now, a far more realistic and ar
tistic effect is gained by threading the
rery narrow ribbons made for the pur-
pose in a needle with long eye suf-
fciently large to carry the ribbon
through the material easily. The work
is proceeded with exactly rs in en-
broidery with silk in the usual way,
with the difference, however, that the
ribbon fills a given space with re-
markable rapidity, imparting raised
appearance that adds greatly to the
richness of the finished work.
1t is well known that except in the
hands of very skilled worker double
roses dc not look well in solid en-
broidery, especially if they be small.
The single wild rose, therefore, is uni
versally preferred But with ribbon
work the case is different, for it repre-
cents very charmingly a small double
rose.
Crinkled ribbon is the greatest nov.
city for this style of fancy work, and it
gives better results for double flowers
than the straight ribbons. When EN-.
ployed, it is hard for the inexperienced
eye to detect that ribbon has been
used at all, for the blossoms appear as
