Novel picture Frames.

Picture dealers have betaken them
selves to architectural effects III their
search for novelties in framing. Very
quaint and attractive little frames they
are. too, with their Doric, Ionic or
Corinthlan columns surmounted by
the appropriate architecture, looking
like miniature fireplace and mantel-
piece. The dealers in Boston, true
to the spirit of erudition which pre-
walls there, have adapted the Egyp.
tian arch to their uses, and the small
columns are covered with cuneiform
hieroglyphics. These make very
charming frames in dark wood for the
Photographic reproductions of the
decorations in the Boston library,
which are so popular now. A series
of these pictures framed in series of
arches makes pretty panel.

A Dainty Decoration.

Every woman who entertains should
have among her table belongings sets
of ribbon colors for table decoration.
They can be used again and again,
need not be of superfine quality, and
therefore cannot be called expensive,
especially when it is considered how
enormously they count in effectiveness.
The best width for these ribbons is
four inches, the quantity required
depending upon the length, size or
shape of the table. A simple and
pretty arrangement is to draw the rib
bon in fat band diagonally across
the table to within few inches of the
line of covers, terminating it in hand
some tied bows. These bows are
prettier if the loops are stood up on
their sides, to avoid fatness. Extra
loops may be added, and a little of
some perfect fruit of softly contrast
ing shades held within the folds. The
ribbon band will, OF course, run over
the lace centrepiece. -Woman's Home

Pansr ColIars in the COS.

In the late COS the enormous con
sumption OF paper collars was not re-
stricted to the United States. Ex-
porting them to Canada and Central
and South America added hundreds
of thousands to the annual revenues
of the paper collar manufacturers.
An American firm erected plant at
the Paris Exposition of 1857 and
manufactured collars before the eyes
Of astonished visitors. Immediately,
and as a result of this exhibition,
orders were received in this country
for the necessary machinery, and
paper collsr manufactures were estab
lished in Germany, where a tremen-
dous business fourished for time,
that country supplying nearly all
Europe with paper neckwear. The
first plant was established in Leipsic,
and is still operating, although all the
others have ceased to exist.

The Moccasin in the Forest.

In autumn, when all the leaves and
twigs are dry as tinder, man wearin g
shoes makes a noise in the forest like
y troop of cavalry; but in moccasins
he can move swiftly through the
woods with the stealth of panther.
The feet are not bruised, for, after en-
ioying for a time the freedom of
natural covering, these hitherto blum
dering members become like hands,
and feel their way through the dark
like those of cat, avoiding obstacles
rs though gifted with special sense.
Best of all, the moccasin is light. In
experienced sportsmen and soldiers
Affect high-topped lace boots with
heavy soles and hohnails, imagining
khat these are the most serviceable for
rough wear. But these boots weigh
between four and five pounds, while a

ing ten miles a man wearing the
clumsy boots lifts twenty tons more
shoe leather than if he wore mocca-

remarkable Statues Discovered in Egypt
Two of the most remarkable statues
aver found were recently unearthed
oy M. Georges Legrain, a French
Egyptologist, from the ruins of the
temple at Karnak on the Upper Nile,
IN Egypt. One of these is in alabas-
Ter, and represents the great The ban
god Ammon.
This alabaster god is eighteen feet
nigh, aud was originally made from
one solid block of stone, the largest
alabaster statue in the world. 1t was
found in three pieces, which were
easily put together. The artistic fin
ish is perfect.
The second statue is one that was
set up by King Usertesen 1, in honor
Of his father back in the days of
Abraham. On the lap of this effigy is
a slab upon which are carved inscrip-
tions proving the works antiquity.
Accompanying NJ. Legrain when he
made the discovery was Charles N.
Crewdson, corresponding secretary Of
the Chicago Society of Egyptian Re
search, who is touring Egypt in the
interest Of the society he represents.

allow five pounds of sugar. Put the
rhubarb and sugar into porcelain
kettle, add the pulp of four oranges
and the Juice of four lemons and boil

make thin pulp; then remove the
stones and skins and press through q
colander. Place on the stove again
and let it remain until nearly boiling.
For each cupful of fruit stir in one
well-beaten egg; remove at once and

Bohemia. Strange Minerals.

Not far from Trebitsch, in Bohemia,

The Separate Sewing Room.

The convenience of Sc. arate sew.
Ing room is so great that it pays in
families where there is large quan-
tity of sewing to be done to heat a
room specially for the purpose. In
many families the sewing is looked
upon as an incidental of work, not as
an essential part of the household
duties. In only a few families is
there room set apart for sewing,
though the duty of preparing the
clothing of the household ought to be
second only to the duty of preparing
the food. 1t is true that large
amount OF the clothing of the mascu-
line portion of the household is now
purchased ready made. This only re-
lieves the household partially from
sewing Ready made clothing for
women and children is more expen-
sive and not as durable as that made
a. home This includes the greater
part of the clothing, and sewing should
therefore be recognized as certainly a
part of the housework as cooking. In
order to do the sewing of the house

machine, the cutting table and all the
tools for superior work are kept. In
a bureau in this room new material to
make up and old materials to make
over should be left. In one drawer
or in bag there should be patches
and scraps of various materials left
from gowns and other garments. A
stand, with drawers containing spools
of silk and of cotton, should be placed
somewhere in the room, and there
should be large workbasket contain
ing the various necessities OF the
seamstress. A wire skirt form, on
which skirts can be hung, is great
convenience, though the waist forms
have proved of no special value. The
systematic arrangement of the work
in such a room is in itself an incentive
to accomplishment. 1t is not too
much to say that woman with an or
derly sewing room will do twice as
much work as one whose tools are
scattered over the area OF three or
four closets. New York Tribune.
