PAINTING UPON LACE.
Effect ls Wonderfully Good, Though the
 Idea Is Not New.

Something, although not strictly new. certainly worthy of notice, is painting upon lace for decorative and household purposes The work is in imitation of old Cretau faces. which were made with eolored threads, ar ranged as patterns upon q black or white ground It is executed with water-colors, and can be used for sofa cushions and similar things, frills for old-looking portiers. to give them the air of antiquity, or for dainty bed or couch dressing. The eolors are made fast by the use of a fixatiye, and though they will not stand washing they will not spoil from atmospheric causes. Tc paint: Use veloutine as fixatiye; moist water -eolors, with Chinese white of body colors. red sable brushes, and work upon lace of good designs. Stretch the lace and pin it down to drawing board, so that every part of it is quite secure. Select the colors to use, and where they are applied. and over every place that is to be painted lay a wash of Chinese white and yeloutine, pass that over parts already sized with the veloutine. and then paint the lace with bright colors in set pattern Metallic colors, such as gold, silver and bronze. can be applied in the same way to the lace See that the colors are thorough ly absorbed into the lace, and remem- Der the more broken and diversified the eoIoring the better the effect.

Number Eight is the fast est east-bound train on one of the great trunk lines Nothing is an- moving to the authorities of -4e road thar to have this train delayed. even for five minutes, by inferior trains. But it happened that it was once de- tained for fifteen minutes at Friend ship, N r.. little town on the Alle- gheny division, by west-bound freight. The delay was, of course, re- ported by the conductor of Number Eight to the superintendent at Hor- nellswlle, and the superintendent i'm mediately telegraphed the guilty freight luctor. asking why the flyer" ha1 5een detained The freight conductor. wag with turn for rhyme, sent back the follo1 ng re- ply

THE WOMAN WHO SHOOTS.
How She Can Be Cured of This Un-
 graceful nabit.

How She Can Be Cured of This Un-
 graceful Habit.
 The woman who stoops is rare. thank goodness, but she does exist as an eye sore to beholders and a discomfort to herself. Yes, l am convinced that the woman is quite uncomfort- able and would remedy her defect if she knew how. Weakness of the sys- tenn is sometimes responsible for stooping shoulders, but earelessness is the great cause. Pering over books, writing for hours at time and neg feet to aid a defective vision with glasses are the main causes.
 The cure should begin with the pill low. Use one small. flat pillow at E at or dispense entirely with the lux t.vff head rest Bear the infirmity
 mind and walk erectly and sit with r. shoulders where they should be. EHpand the chest and keep the eyes on a level with peoples faces. Practice walking about the room with book balanced on the head and hold the chin Up when reading. with the book placed on level with the face. Have the eyes tested occasionally. and if you need glasses procure them at once. Often the trouble is but temporary and the use of glasses for a few weeks or months will remedy the eye trouble.

AN AUTHOR
Who Wrote Books ot Travel Yet Had
 Never Travelled.


 New orleans Times-D Democrat: q used to know man. said New Or loans bohemian. "who made a living writing stories of travel for boys. He had never been out of Missouri in his life. but he was famous for the graphic fidelity of his description of foreign lands. His reference library consisted of exactly three works: An eneyelope- dia. a set of United States consular re- ports. covering four or five years, and 8 copy of Woods Natural History. If the scene of the story was to be laid for instance, in Borneo. he would be- gin by reading the Borneo article ii the encyclopedia; then he would turn to the consular reports and look up all the odd and interesting matter he could find touching that particular island, and finally he would get q description of it's animals from Woods He wrote at an old table on which was glued a map of the world, covered with a sheet of glass. This was constantly before his eyes. so he couldn't go astray on geography. and, as I said before, his descriptions were marvels Of accuracy. He could draw better and more re- alistic pen picture of foreign countries than travellers themselves. People thought that he had been great globe trotter and, crazy as it sounds. l be- lieye he actually got to thinking so himself The last time I saw hite he talked about Afghanistan in the easy hand vein of a personal observer If I hadn't happened to know that he had been living iG St Louis all his life I would have sworn he had been there.

Polka Dots on opera Glasses.

The polka dot has appeared in yet another form. The newest opera glasses are of pearl spotted with small cabochons (which, being interpreted, is dots) of garnets or emeralds. The effect is extremely pretty, yet the practical person will prefer a plainer glass and stronger lens.
