economical continuance of a New York
artist, Miss Alice Donbery, who took
the gold medal for tapestry at the
worlds fair.
A white lace curtain of least expen-
sive make, but a good and bold floral
design, had become the worst for wear
in the laundress' hands, and what to do
with it was problem. 1t was mounted
on old gold yellow cheese cloth at four
cents yard, tackled on a quilting
frame, and the outlines were evenly but
sketchily run in with old gold yellow
crewel stitches. 1t was then whipped"
at the edge, finished with brass rings,
run on a mahl-stick and passed through
two polettes, which served as window
brackets.
To make the light more graceful to
the eye, the lower part of the window
was lined with white tissue paper
pasted on without a crease, which
when dry gives faint gray light so
needful to the artist who at that angle
must guard against glare. The cur
tain was, however, one of a pair for a
tiny drawing-room. The effect was rich,
and only on close examination re-
vealed its simplicity of method.-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.

Fruit Fairs Mt Churches.

A fruit fair was the form of recent
church entertainment. Oranges, lines,
apples, bananas, grape fruit and hot
house peaches and pears were attract
lively arranged in various styles. There
was table of fancy work at which no
piece was offered which did not in some
way associate itself with fruit. Until
one attempts to make out the list it is
difficult to realize how long it can be
made. There are all sorts of menu
cards, prettily decorated with fruits,
and innumerable doilies and centers
whose limitations to fruit designs did
not prevent wide variety. There
were fruit plates and fruit baskets,
pin cushions in fruit shapes, and pretty
water colors, with punches of fruit, al
together considerable array. At the
table where refreshments We're served
the ices were in fruit forms. The idea
was at least novel, which seems to be
the most desirable thing nowadays

ABOUT ELOPEMENrS.
A Wise Mother Discusses The Subject
In an Interesting Way.


A mother whose daughters are all
happily married, referring to the sub
ject of Opponents and marriage I'M
sanctioned by the brides parents, re-
Gently said: 81 think the trouble in
such matter is largely owing to the
mistaken treatment which the daugh-
tiers receive from the members of their
family circle. Their brothers, if broth
ers they possess, are not apt to make
much of them, and the father and
mother are so taken up with the cares
of existence that they unwittingly fall
into the error of appearing Indifferent
to the budding beauty of their daugh
tiers. Every woman's heart longs for
love. Compliments and endearing
words are as sunshine to a growing
plant, and if there is lack of these
at home is il any wonder that when
a young man comes along and tells
young girl that she is the sweetest
thing on earth, she feels she has been
unappreciated for years, and imagines
that to dwell forever with an individual
who adores her, who recognizes her
charm, will be the acme of human hap
piness?
Il made up my mind when my girls
were babes that they should never have
ITO look for admiration away from home.
1t was the rule in our household to give
them every pleasure within our power,
to tel them when they looked well,
and 80 be as complimentary and gra-
cious as though they were the young
ladies of neighbours household. And
so Trey were not upset by the first
chance words of admiration from
stranger, and having been always given
to understand that what could be af-
forded was theirs, they were not
prompted to run off to better their
condition. Runaway matches are sell
dom made in Heaven, but are brought
about, as l said in the beginning,
through a natural longing for affection
that has been wanting in places where
it should be expected to come from
first. Chicago Daily News.

ASS AND LIONS SKIN.

There was donkey once, or so I've read,
A plain, old jackass, kind we're alers
guyin',
Who found Hons skin (most likely spread
Out in the sun, and stretched, yer know,
fer drying.
Well. anyhow, he got inside the thing,
And, as lion. scared the folks ter pray
in,
Until he tried ter roar and then, by jung!
They knowed he was jackaSs by his
brayin'.
There was Teller once-er twice-er more
Than twenty million times-who cut a
pretty fgger,
And if the blamed chump hadn't tried ter
roar
In peoples eyes he'd still be CROWN big
ger.
But no, he had ter talk and what he said
Showed folks he didn't have no brain
whatever,
Whereas if he'd looked wise and shet his
head,
They'd say that he was cute and sharp
and clever.
There was wise man once that wrote this
tale
And through the years we've told 1t ter
each other
But still along that brayin' critters trail
You're trottin' on with me, my friend and
brother
Why can't we learn the simplest of all
rules,
And. when we'd robes of borrered wis
dom tie on
Jest shet right up, because there's lots err
fools
Who're glad ter take jackass for a lion

The average height Of women in Eng
land is five feet six inches. The aver.
age height of American women, accord
ing to William Blaikie, the expert on
physical culture, is five feet four inches
The two inches in favor of the English
women are doubtless due to many gen.

The pattern for the apron is simple
one and the diagram for it was sent
over from England by an American
lady who visits the Fife house.
The skirt is plain and is the same
length front and back. Around the edge
of the bib is broad ruffle ending in a
point at the waist. When the apron is
Numbered the waist is separated from
the skirt and washed separately. By
making two waists to each skirt one
skirt will often cutlast two waists, both

TUCSON BREvIrrHs


 busted with receiving, unpacking and shelving new fall goods, Sol Seeligsohn writes from San Francisco that he is enjoying the sea breezes immensely. MT. Abrams says there'll come a time some day"-next summer.
 Star: MT. Hansen, the brewer. says he win carry out his plans of establish iug brewery here. It takes time, and when certain matters are set right the brewery will be one of the many establishments here employing workmen.
 Citizen: Improvements are ob- served at almost every street corner in the city. Piles of lumber and brick, and old buildings being tum- bled down to make room for new ones are observed everywhere. Truly this winter will see one of the liveliest times ever seen in the honorable pueblo.
 Citizen: The ball game announced to take place between a team com posed of boiler makers and machinists and the Tucson Juniors came off yes- derday on schedule time. It was a very interesting and exciting game throughout and was enjoyed by the big crowd which was in attendance. The game was very close throughout, resulting in victory being perched on the banner of the shop men. Now the Tucson Juniors swear vengeance and promise by all that's god to re- deem their reputation at the next crossing of bats. The score was s to 6
 Star: Captain Jack Williams who came here several months ago under engagement to the natatorium, has led charmed life, taking the hume rous sketches told of him by the press as criterion. Many lives has he saved, many miles has he swan, and now he is past two score and ten with a touch of rheumatics thrown in. Jack, while here, has fulfilled the stories told of him respecting his ann phibious habits. Thursday night he entertained quite large assembly at the natatorium, the Regimental band discoursing meanwhile. Among the feats enacted by the famous swimmer was that of floating without move ment of any sort, propelling, floating on side, diving with lighted Roman candles and firing them upon rising, being tied arms as we'll as legs and swimming from one side of the tank to the other, swimming while carry ing flag aloft in each hand, and other feats. The old man is a wonder, the more so because of the fact that he is crippled with rheumatism.
 Citizen: Master Mechanic L. s. Pratt was the victim this morning of an unprOvoked assault by a former employee of tue railroad company. It appears that boiler maker formerly employed in the shops here asked for and got transfer to the shops in Los Angeles on account of some injury to his eye, at which place he remained about three months, arriving back in this city a few days ago, reporting again to MT. Pratt for work. Mr. Pratt informed him that he was still suffering from his injured eye and that he could not put him back to work because there would be danger of his losing the other eye, whereupon the man waited for MT. Pratt around the corDer and as he was coming out of the office he assaulted him, striking him on the head with some blunt incfrI1manf which tha nolica fhfnlz

Care Of Horses.

The stomach of the horse Is very small
in proportion to the size Of the body,
and to secure the best all round results,
he should never be without food for any
great length Of time, yet farmers horses
often work eight or nine hours without
break; the stomach becomes empty and
the intestines are filled, more or less,
with gas, and when the animal comes
to the stable water and food are at once
given him, which he consumes vora-
ciously to his injury, often followed by
an attack Of pripes or collie.
Whenever term of work of unusual
length Is in prospect, sad long fast to
be expected, the nose bag should be used,
and the horse given his regular ration at
the customary time.
Good hay stands probably first in i'm
portance in the list of horse foods, so far
as rough provender is concerned. Many
winter their horses, when standing idle,
upon hay alone, others again on corn
fodder and straw, and II these materials
are sound, bright, free from dust, and in
every way Of the highest quality, de-
gree Of health and thrift will be main
tanned that cannot be improved upon.
Straw, IL fed alone, however, and free
access to it Is given when the horse Is
doing no work, is not exactly the thing
to insure best results; 1t Is hard to di-
gest, and there is danger of the horse
eating more Of it, while he Is at rest and
doing nothing, than the organs can dis
pose Of, and then more trouble ensues.
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-02

There is too much cutting down Of old
orchards and setting out trees in the
place Of the old ones or using the land for
other purposes. We should bear in mind
that it is a long time from the setting
Of the young tree to the period Of full
crops. II the trees in the old orchard
are healthy and not too old they may be
top-grafted with the varieties most in
demand and strong fruit-bearlng tree
obtained in much less time than by
setting out young trees. 1t is true the
operation Is expensive, but not more so
than taking out the old orchard and
adding the cost of the young trees and
the planting Of them. In top-grafting,
cut out six or eight branches from the
inside Of the trees and graft them, per-
forming the same operation on the re-
naming branches two or three years
later. If the fruit on the old tree Is not
entirely valueless 1t will bear fruit on
the branches which are left after the
first gratis are put in, and thus bring
in some income. In top-grafting set the
gratis as low down as possible so as to
have the fruiting branches within easy
reach. AS to varieties, the market to
be supplied should guide in selection,
and the best in quality Of good bearers
and good keepers for the locality should
be used.
