NOTHING TO BE WASTED.

In good housekeeping, as in nature
nothing to be wasted One might
suppose that an old chair had a legiti-
mate ending when the seat was quite
gone and the four legs falling apart
Yet see-the four legs will support
square board, and when the whole is
stained and vanished there is a most
useful little table for the porch, or,
painted white, it may become stand
to keep close by the sewing chair and
hold the work basket. A second ia
BILE may be evolved by using the
longest spokes of the chair back as
legs, only in this case the shape of
the tables top had best be triangular,
and for it three legs will be sufficient.
This will make very small table,
and need not be stained or painted if
a bright cover is thrown over it, but
it's most convenient use will be to
hold light tea kettle at 4 o'clock.
All these handicraft trifles should be
handed over to our amateur carpen-
ters-boys and girls for it is the
right of every family OF children to
possess a tool chest and a work bench
set in the garnet. A tool chest is an
excellent investment in a household.

SOME NEW INVENTIONS.

A Maryland man has invented a
shirt with a detachable bosom, which
is made double to fold through the
center and form wearing surfaces, so
that as fast as one surface becomes
soiled it can be replaced by another
until the four are used.
A machine has just been invented
to remove cotton lint from the seed
by means Of rapidly revolving brush
cylinders, which scrape the seed as it
passes between toothed wheels, the
lint being blown from the machine by
an air shaft at one end.
An electric bath cabinet has been
invented by German which has
wooden racks arranged at each side
Of the tub with electric connections to
the racks and bars across the top so
the body of the bather completes the
circuit by touching the bars
Casks and barrels are automatically
tilted in a new holding frame as they
become nearly empty by weighted
pivoted levers under the rear of the
barrel, the weight of the contents be-
ing sufficient to counter-balance the
weights until it is almost gone.

his victorious troops. When the last
century closed Desmouline and Robes

form in the person of Napoleon, and
whom the kings OF Europe all COM

closed up their historic feuds against

wheeled into line to face the common
danger that threatened them for
nearly twenty years from the bridge of
Lodi to the field of Waterloo.
1t is because the close of the nine
teenth century sees the American idea
again active and promising again to

same disquieting relation as did the
affairs of France and Of Napoleon at

fury. Hence the mingled feelings of
fear and anxiety with which this petty
Spanish american war is regarded,
formed of the London correspondents,
is matter Of greater concern to the
European nations than to America
herself"
Why should it be matter of great
err concern to European nations" than
to the country upon whose borders it
takes place and which is one of the
actual participants in the contest? It
is because Europe is reposing above
sort of submarine mine that may at
any moment explode. Because at the
end of this as at that of the eighteenth
century, their subjects are restless and
unhappy, and those European powers

ton and whose latent powers they are
all unable to gauge accurately. It is
as if the specter of the French revolu-
tion or Napoleon had again arisen to
fire the hostile and armed camps and
was wrapped this time in the mantle
of Monroe. The kings Of Europe are
rot more intelligent or less supersti-
tious than are other people. And the
time and circumstance of the pervad-
| ing danger is not calculated to allay
the royal fears. First the storm cen

And America, like a young Colossus,
Islands high and seems in their fright

remembering how she was rifted at
the close Of the seventeenth century by
the twelve years war Of the Spanish
succession, wonders whether now a
similar fate again awaits her. "There

international concerns of each country,
and governments and people alike
have put aside their own affairs in or

European disputes often tend but
which Europe has managed to avoid

The American idea that leavened Eu-
rope before, not as Europe under
stands it, manifested itself for nearly

one of the proudest European mon

uprising of the French masses, and
throne and altar, prelates and poten-

popular upheaval which sent the cold
shiver of impending fear through
every state of Europe. The French

the similarity Of both sets OF prlncl-

eclipsed by the magnitude Of the
events that terminated the eighteenth

has seized the ruling classes in Eu-

danger to those family groups that
have survived the renaissance and the

that would justify survival or preserve
them from extinction, but because
their chiefs have been so far fortunate

ROSE DATES.

Few persons who are more than a
little fond of particular varieties of
roses are aware of how recent is
really strong individuality in for
elgn varieties of the favorite flower.
The Gloire de DIXON dates from 1853.
The General Jacqueminot was offered
to the public in 1859 The Maracha1
Mel (Which beautiful rose seems
lately unjustly out of vogue was per-.
fected in 1854. La France came in
1863. The Madam Isaac Pereire is of
1880. La Reiene is almost the oldest
of the hybrids still beloved, having
made it's success in 1843. The new
and assumed varieties now put forth
annually still reach the number of
seventy or eighty, but the majority Of
them have no decisive characteristics
to enable them to hold their owu
against others. The American Beau
ty and Catherine Mermeet are the most
significant additions within few
seasons to the general catalogue and
not yet in universal favor.
