JAPANESE EMBROIDERY.
By the Exercise OF Some CIeveFness
Really Startling Effects Can
BE Produced.

For anyone with artistic instincts
and fair knowledge of drawing Jap
anese embroidery is a most fascinat-
ing employment. The secret of the
wonderful effects produced by this kind
of handiworkis that the Japanese hest
tate at nothing which promises to pro-
duce tise effect they aim at. If they
desire to initiate an evening sunset
even, in textiles, they attempt it, and
the result, although it may be weird
combination that requires an exp1ana-
ton to be understood, is likely at all
events to be a rich commingling of
tints that is agreeable to the eye.
Take for instance the accompanying
sketch, which is taken from state
saddlecloth that belonged to the rid
ing outfit Of Japanese noble. The
groundwork is of light blue cloth, rep
resenting sky; the birds are cut out of
thick, soft, white flannel; these are
applied with a chainstitch of white
embroidery silk which covers the
edges. The eyes are put in with black
beads, and curved stitches of white
silk are used as the markings of feath-
ers, which, sinking deep into the fan
mel, give a rounded effect to the birds,
that are supposed to be huttering over
waves dashing up against rocks. The

a new abode. In some way it squeezed
itself under the iron bars of the cubs
cage and, as is it's nature, rolled itself
into ball, thus protecting all the
more tender parts of it's body by the
outer hard. shell-like covering.
It was soon discovered by the cubs
and soon there were visible evidences
of a battle. The Infatuated animals
dashed their tails violently against
their bodies, all the while keeping
their gaze fixed upon the armadillo,
which to spectators seemed no other
than a rock. The trouble of the cubs
was communicated to the other cages
and soon lions, tigers and panthers
were in an uproar either from fear or
sympathy. Presently one of the cubs
was seen to crouch and prepare for
spring. Spectators held their breath.
The cub leaped. At the same time
the hard form of the armadillo I'M
folded and a head shot out, from be-
meath the covering. Opening its mouth
it seized the cub by the foot and held
on firmly till a keeper came to the res
cue. Then the cubs sneaked into cor
ner of the cage crestfallen and
whipped.

WONDERFUL CHILD.
Six-Year-Old Girl Who Plays the
Piano and the Organ and Com
poses Sweet Music.

Six-year-old Eula Vaughan, of Bow
tnan, Ca, plays the piano or organ like
a professional, composes music and
sings very sweetly. Her first gift be-
came manifest when she was two and a
half years old. At that time she played
on the organ. to the amazement of her
father, who held her at the instrument
as joke.
Little Eula plays entirely by ear, and
has never taken lesson in her life.
No matter what the music may be, it
is never so difficult that after hearing
it once she cannot repeat it. The most
difficult runs and remote modulations
are reproduced with faithfulness
which many distinguished profession
ais might cultivate to advantage. It
must not be thought that her efforts
are the result of musical mimicry, for
she plays with an expression that is al
together her own, and her touch has a
strength and 1irmness that impresses
one with the remarkable fact that so
young a child should be possessed of
such individuality.
The story of her brief life and un-
usual abilities is of exceeding inter-

AFTER VACATION.

Before they had arithmetic,
Or telescopes, or chalk.
Or blackboards, maps and copy-books-
When they could only talk;
Before Columbus came to show
The world geography,
What did they teach the little boys
Who went to school like me?
There wasn't any grammar then,
They couldn't read or spell,
For books were not invented yet
think twas just as well.
There were not any rows Of dates,
Or laws. or wars. or kings.
Or generals, or victories.
Or any of those things.
There couldn't have been much to learn
There wasn't much to know.
Twas nice to be a little boy
Ten thousand years agoi
For history had not begun.
The world was very new,
And in the schools, 1 don't see what
The children had to do.
Now, always there Is more to learn
How history does growi-
And every day they find new things
They think We ought TO know.
And If it must go on like this
I'm glad I live to-day,
For boys ten thousand years from now
Will not have time to play!

HORSE DIED OF GRIEF.
The Faithful Animal Could Not stand
the Pangs of Separation from
His Companions.

"Speakin of the emotional life of
horse,' said an old trainer, who had
been listening to a story about an ami
mails death that was directly traced
to grief, 81 recall one remarkable in
stance of sorrow shown by a horse be-
longing to a circus with which l was
travelling three years ago. We were
performing in the little town of Union
vile, Pa, when one of the trick horses
fell and sprained one of his legs so
badly that he could not travel. He was
taken to a livery stable and put in
box stall, the leg was bandaged and he
was made as comfortable as possible.
He ate his food and was apparent
ly contented until about midnight,
when the circus began moving out of
town. Then he became restless and
tramped and whinnied. As the cara
vans moved past the stable he seemed
to realize that he was being deserted,
and his anxiety and distress became
pitifui. He would stand with his ears
pricked in an attitude of intense lis
tening, and then as his ears caught the
sounds of the retiring wagons he
would rush as best he could with his
injured leg from one side of the stall
to the other, pushing at the door with
his nose and making every effort to es-
cape. The stable man, who was
stranger to him, tried to soothe him.
but to no purpose. He would not be
comforted.
Long after all sounds of the circus
had ceased his agitation continued.
The sweat poured from him, and he
quivered in every part of the body.
Finally the stable man went to his en-
ployer's house, woke him up and told
him he believed the horse would die if
some of the circus horses were not
brought back to keep him company.
At about daylight the proprietor of
the stable mounted a horse and rode
after the circus. He overlook us ten
or twelve miles away, and, as I had
charge of all the horses and was much
attached to the injured animal, I re-
turned with him. When we reached
the stall the horse was dead.
1.-THE stable man said that he re-
manned for nearly an hour perfectly
still and with every sense apparently
strained to the utmost tension, and
then. without making a sign, fell and
died with scarcely struggle. The
veterinarian who was called remarked,
after the circumstances were told him,
that unquestionably the horse died
from grief. Star.

vegetation. These, by degrees, as one
advanced mp stream, grew thicker and
more luxuriantly, till, about three or
four miles from the village, where the
banks were much broken and the bed
considerably wider, the underground
became a low scrub jungle. 1t was
here that the tiger had his lair and
snoozed comfortably In the shade dur

Of blood and slaughter.
To-day, however, he was destined to
be roughly awakened from his glut-
ionous slumbers. for jeffrey and Sack
vile had determined to beat the jun
gle. Nearly the whole village turned
out to assist in the drive, in the hope
of seeing their savage enemy bite the
Dust.
Our hunters post themselves, one
on either side of the watercourse,
choosing a position where the inter
mediate jungle is thin and scanty, so
that the tiger, driven from one clump
CT underground to another, must nee
essarily pass in view of one of them,

in either her use of materials or the
difficulty of her subject. One of the
panels represents the side of an old
South Shore farmhouse. against which
grow stately hollyhocks, pink and
white, and yellow. and crimson. The
silver look of the shingles is carried
out with light gray silesia cut in the
shape of the shingles themselves. and
each one is finished with irregularly
buttonhole stitchings and marked like
the streaks seen in old wood. These
slabs are then literally singled on, like
those on the side of a house, and
against this background the holly
hooks are realistically carried out in
embroidery and applied work.
Another successful conception by
the same artfst-for one must be an
artist to obtain such results-is a
group of white saiiboats in a summer
blue sea in the distance. with reedy
foreground and group of pink marsh
mallows as the salient feature. The
possibilities for such conceptions are
boundless: all that is required is the
c1eyerness to produce them.-N. Z.

How to secure Fresh AIR.

A lecturer upon health topics said
once: "If you have not a cross cir
culation of air in your bedroom it
can be ventilated or the air changed,
for the time being at least, by taking
the edge of one of the doors in the
hand and swinging it briskly to and
fro % or % times" This advice proves
to be satisfactory when taken. and if
anyone desires the best authority for
it the man who raises bees will give
it. 1t is only returning to natures
first principles. One of the important
functions of some of the bees is to
keep the hive ventilated, and this
they do with their wings. tanning and
keeping the air in motion. In warm
weather they reduce the temperature
in this way.

The little sack was made of pale pink
lawn with pin stripe of emerald green
running through it. 1t was cut very
long with the side seams shaped just
enough to make it curve to the figure.
The neck was cut to form a V, and was
finished with revers bordered with a
deep ruffie of white embroidery. The
sleeves were of the bishop pattern
gathered at the wrist.
The belt was of emerald green ribbon
and the sack could be worn on the in

EULA VAUGHAN.

est. When first her parents learned
she could play, they began to listen to
her and encourage her. In the begin
ming she would play certain chords of
her own composition, and then har-
monize these chords, until, executed
together, the effect was charming mel
ody. Mr.. Vaughan has a brother who
is professional musician, and one day
he happened to be present when Eula
played a selection of her own compo-
sition. He wrote down the music as
she played, and the result is one of the
sweetest of Gospel hymns, called
"Jesus Loves the Children" This was
really the beginning of her reputation
as composer, and since then she has
given to the home world bits of music
that SAVIOR Enthusiastically of genius.
In orchestration the child seems to
be particularly at her ease, as was
evinced by the fact that at the last
commencement of John Gibson insti-
tute, at Bowman, she played the piano
accompaniment to the orchestra with
out single error. although she had
never heard of the music until the or
. chestra leader played it over for her
a few moments before the time came
for her to render it.
Eula's touch is remarkably sweet.
and her execution very clear. She Is
pretty and rather spiritueue in an
pearance. Her whole being seems to
be in the most perfect accord with the
music, and when she is either playing
or singing the little face is fairly trans
figured.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

When she left she forgot the dog, and
as soon as he was discovered the peo-
pie did all they could to make him
leave, but with no avail. Some hours
passed and he was still there, so they
telephoned to the dogs mistress to let
her know of his whereabouts. Bring
him to the telephone" said the lady.
One of the boys held him while another
put the phone to the dogs ear. Then
the lady whistled and called: "Come
home at once, Paddy" immediately
he wriggied out Of the boys arms,
rushed at the door, barked to get out
and then dashed away in the direction
