How to Renoyate o d Chairs and Tables
to Lock Like New

Many old and shabby pieces of fur
niture are discarded ms. useless without
any trouble being taken to renoyate
them, and yet 1t Is marvellous how n
little trouble and ingenuity will so
transiigure them that they look better
than they did when they We're new.
For instance, a CIR. who was about to
be married, and ith whom money
WAS, and would be, Il very scarce com
modify, could fu nish her drawing
room, as far MS ch lirs and tables 20,
for n mere song. if she purchased some
old ones at Il Secon, hand shop and eX-
ercised her taste aud patience in do
ing them up. A shabby cnne bot
toned chair with t! e seat out could be
made quite presentable.
lrst of all nail some stout webbing
across i'll crss-cross fashion to form a
seat, and put Il cushion stuffed with
flock or mill-puff upon 1t: then cut
down the legs of tie chair to make it
lower taking more off the back than
the front ones, AMI paint them with
black or white enamel. The whole
must then he put into a cretonne COW
er, back and seat, with Il deep frill
round the latter reaching to within
three inches Of the ground. -Four of
these, say with White legs and pale
green coverings, would be quite effect
i've III Il room.
The plainest wooden table may he
made beautiful by very simple means.
For instance, to make Il writing table
get an ordinary deal dressing table
with a drawer. Take the ugly knobs
off the drawer, sandpapcr the table,
size it and stain it leaf green with
green stain. When quite dry screw on
brass handles in place of the knobs.
With brass candleSticks, inkstand, &C.,
and II pretty blotter and stationery
case, this will look well in recess or
near Il window.
\ very quaint table can be made ont
of Il white wood one stained the color
OF dark oak and an arabesque design
in white paint, and then hammer in tie
nails, which should be plain studs"
in continuous lines. \ thick row must

each leg. Other small tables can he
enamelled white and the tops tightly
covered with brocade edged round
with ball fringe. silk cotelne, fifty
inches wide, makes excellent tops,
with the fringe exactly matching.

Lord Kitchener Is made the hero of

which have Just reached London. 1t
Is told Ivy n relative of the Sirdar. Ac-
cOrdlng to him, one night while the
British Egyptian army was approach

covered in camp, and was placed un=

and he. too. assumed deaf and dumb

with the first prisoner.
Half an hour later third spy was
brought into headquarters. and was
put with the other two without delay.
At the end of an hour the alert guard
heard animated whispering going on
In the tent among the deaf and dumb
prisoners. A moment after the third of
the spies stepped out of the tent and
demanded of the guard to be taken TO

YOU WILL FORGET.


You will forget. The Towering tide Of
Spring
Stands still at flood; the blossoms
overflow
For gladness, and beside that tender
glow
OF life, you kiss me, and yet dumbly
You will forget.
The summer comes. All, sweetheart,
love is sweet;
The very breath of God lies on the
land;
You draw me close to you, but though
my hand
In faith seeks yours, I dimly under
You will forget
The earth grows chill. The banner of
the frost
Flames gold and crimson in the
wood. We start
AS from n dream, and wondering,
stand apart:
All, what is this? Hush, hush, my
beating heart,
You will forget.
Can forget? The harvest of my soul
Lies winnowed at your door, The
meadow-rue
Which binds it as of old is not more
true
So Than |, and yet walk alone, while
You will forget.

Action is being taken by CERTAIN en-
lightened natives to ameliorate the
shocking condition of the average Hin
doc widow. To begin with, the Indian
widow is shaved bald, and can only
hide her badness with her CLOTH; she
is deprived of all jewelry, wears coars-
er clothes than the rest of womenkind
must fast on certain days, and every
day has fewer meals than are taken by
the rest of the family. The scheme Of
relief afoot is that no widow shall be
shaved until she is twenty-one, the age
at which it may be supposed that she
will be able to show a will of her own
in case she objects.
