WORK FOR RESTLESS FINGERS.
Knit Rugs May be Made by Children
Who Arc Kept Indoors

Who Arc Kept Indoors.
Mothers often sigh for something
wherewith to occupy the restless fin
gers OF their little girls on rainy days.
Why not set them to rugmaking? The
materials needed are knitting cotton
and two knitting needles. The cotton
is to be cut into uniform lengths of
about three inches. To cut it an eX-
cellent plan is TO wind the cotton upon
a round ruler, then with a sharp pair
OF scissors to cut the thread along the
whole length OF the ruler. To begin
the knitting an uneven number of
stitches is cast on and four or five rows
knitted plainly, then on the second
stitch OF the row to be fringed one of
the lengths of cut cotton is knitted in.
The length is simply doubled. and be-
ing placed end to end the loop so
formed in the center is taken along
with the stitch in knitting. All the
even stitches take a piece of cotton
fringe on this row. The next row is
knitted plainly; then comes another
fringed row. Thus the rows continue,
one fringed. one plain, until the strip
is long enough. If this strip is knitted
in white cotton the next strip may be
In red cotton, the colors alternating
until the requisite number of strips are
knitted, when they are sewed together
to make handsome striped cotton
mat.

A German dentist, DR.. Herr, pro-
poses to put microbes into our mouths
TO steal away our pains. His discov-
cry consists in an inoculant prepared
from microbes he cultlvates for the
purpose. When applied in the case of a
decayed tooth it stops the pain, but
does not destroy the nerve; further, it
again fixes the tooth and makes it pos
sible to put in lasting stopping. He
has already treated a number OF cases
with it, and they have proved most sue
cessful.

STORYETTES,

At a dinner Of the Literary Society,
Lord Houghton once said. with refer
ence to a statue that had been lately
found near Athens. that, when the De-
march telegraphed to the Lord Mayor
of London, "Phidias recovered" the
latter replied, Glad to hear it, but
didn't know he had been ILL.,"
Once, when Bismarck was leaving
home in 1866, his youngest son asked
him how long he was to be away. He
replied that he did not know. At that
moment a servant came in to inquire
how many bottles of cognac were to be
packed up in the princes luggage.
"Twenty-four," was the answer. "Ah,
papa" cried the terrible infant" now
know how long you are to be from
home-twenty-four days!"
While dining at his son-in-law's one
evening, 1t was noticed that Pasteur
dipped his cherries in his glass OF
water, and then carefully wiped them
before eating them. AS this caused
some amusement. he held forth at
length on the dangers Of the microbes
with which the cherries were covered.
Then he leaned back in his chair, wiped
his forehead and unconsciously pioktu
up his glass, drank off the contents. sni-

Persian colors are obtained to a
great extent in the softer shades. Whole
gowns are made of the material with
the shawl effect, and one with a pale
blue ground, the figures in soft tones
which blend with it, is lovely. A blouse

A serious question OF Jail etiquette
has arisen at Eureka Springs, Ark,
where four convicts absented them
selves without leave from the county
prison and went to a dance. In the
morning they were all back again at
the Jail door, clamoring for admission
and breakfast. The justly incensed
TALLER refused to take them In, saying
they had abused his hospitality. The
matter was taken to higher authorities
and the exiles have obtained their old
quarters. On the whole, this decision
was Just. Some slight punishment
should be inflicted on the absentees,
but a good deal can be excused to
high spirits, while It should not be
held that mere frolicsome escapade
like this should forfeit prisoners
legal right to food and shelter. There
Is a time to dance, but one cannot be
dancing all the time. The jailer should
not allow personal pique to interfere
with grave constitutional privileges.

eign corporations doing business with
in their limits. The decision was rem
dered In a case instituted against the
comptroller of the state of New York
TO vacate an assessment made on the
capital of large western drug house
having branch in New York city. The
validity of the New York law was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court in af-
firmance of the decision rendered be-
low. Judge Shiras, who announced the
decision of the court. said that the law
was settled that state might impose
such conditions for permitting a for
eign corporation to do business within
it's limits as 1t might deem expedient,
and that it might make the grant de-
pendent upon the payment OF a spe-
ciflc license tax or a sum proportioned
to the use OF its capital used within
the state, and that this did not consti-
tute discrimination against the prod
ucts of other states.
