I'm to Date Cushions.

Have you followed the revolution
which has taken place among cushions up
to date? The new article at the present
moment is oriental--Persian, Turkish,
and SO on. Designs, stuffs, broideries,
headings, shapes and hues, all come
from the east or SAVIOR of it.
The very newest articles are of hugo
dimensions. Heavy cloths in dull reds
and greens form some of the popular ma
terials. The silks used are also in these
tints when chosen of solid color. In
fancy silks Persian floral patterns and
Turkish. plaids are the selections of the
moment. To form cushions at more rea-
sonable rates these two last mentioned
patterns may be found in chintz and cal
leo. These cotton goods are being used
the character of the room is not too form
al or too rich to forbid this. Solid col
ors in cotton goods are seen, as we'll as
the f1orals and plaids. In these dull reds.
blues, bluffs and green's are charming
The furnishings are heavy braids or
embroideries in eastern pattern. Many
new ideas for binding are noted. Folded
bands of twisted silk laid along the edges
are extremely useful in carrying out the
luxurious plan. Heavy cording and
braids mysteriously Topped and appli
qued are seen as fnishings. There is a
suggestion of fringe, tasseled fringe of
which nothing has been seen these few
seasons past. Very heavy triple ruffies
of silk are shown upon some of the most
recent cushions. -Philadelphia Press.

WEYLER'S HONOR.
The Tyrant a Failure In Spain as
Well as In Cuba
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
The result of the tremendous agita-
ton set on foot by Gen. Weyler with
the intent to rebuke President
Mckinley because of his comments
on Spanish military methods in
Cuba has terminated as might have
been expected of a Weyler campaign
in futility and ridicule. 1t has
borne about the same fruit as did his
when he commanded the Spanish
forces on the island-the fruit of his
own exposure and humiliation. The
absurd petition to the Queen, which
he hoped to induce his fellow Gener-
ais to indorse, has been forwarded
with only one signature, that of Don
Valeriano Weyler, and it has been
received with Indignation and con
tempt. The only notice vouchsafed
1t took the form OF an order of re-
proof, If not arrest, and Weyler finds
himself, in peace as he was in war,
discredited and impOtent. His at
tempt to organize political opposi-
tion to the Sagasta government has
proved as fruitless as did his eff )rts
to suppress the insurrectiOn. He Is
as complete a failure in Spain as he
was in Cuba.
The truth is THAI the Presidents
comments on Weyler's conduct of
the SO called war In Cuba were all too
mild and lenient. Their only fault
was that of indulgence.

women, it was quite unresponslve. Ii
the hall was small enough to see their
attentive faces, their smiles and shining

How to Ride a Bicycle In the Street.

Never ride at pace which will not
permit an easy and immediate dlsmount-
ing from the machine when desired.
Keep always 80 yards from vehicle
when riding behind one, and from 80
to DO yards should be the in terval when
riding in front of one.
Never sound your bell when approach
ing person from behind. This only
frightens or disconcerts a pedestrian,
and he never knows which direction to
take. The chances are much in favor of
his taking the wrong direction. 1t is
the business of the cyclist to keep out Of
the pedestrian way.
IF the pedestrian is in front and COM
ing toward you and seems not to know
which direction to take then dismount
at once rather than run the risk of an
accident.
Never get off the machine, when rid
ing in the streets, from the side. AL
ways slip off from behind and keep the
bicycle in motion all the time and re-
mount without stopping. You never
know what may be behind you, and a
short stop may be the cause of a COLI
sion from behind.
When you mount, be sure to go to the
curbing on the right hand side and
mount from the right hand side of the
bicycle.
Never look behind you on any account
Vehicles coming up behind you will
be guided by your movements.
Never pass in front of car at right
angles. You don't know what is on the
other side.
In approaching side street intersect-
ing the one you are on at right angles
go slowly and keep to the right.
