THE FIRELESS CRATE.
Few Suggestions on How to Com
ceaI Its Unattractiveness.

While the advent of spring brings ioy N
our hearts, the treless crate is anythinp,
but a cheerful sight to eyes that have
grown accustomed to glowing embers dur-
ing the long winter, and many are the
schemes and devices invented for conceal
ing the unattractiYe spot. The elaborate
arrangements of cut paper, artificial flow
ers and gilded shavings that so delighted
our grandmothers are happily among the
thmss That We're, and pretty screens and
draperies, simple and yet artistic have
taken their place. \ few suggestions for
these convenient and useful little articles
VIII perhaps not be out of place at this
season, when We are looking around for
something to hide the empty CRATE and
make us miss the fire less keenly
Several shapes and screens can be bought
in white wood, and one of the most effective
is of the square cheVaI type, with a space
in the center which can be filled with a
piece of tapestry, a painted panel or simply
draped with pretty silkoline. A great i'm
provement TO this screen is to stain the
wood green and stud it with concentrated
nails placed about a quarter of an inch
apart. Japanese leather paper glued on
canvas and nailed on at the back of the
frame makes good finish and neatens the
screen.
Another suggestion which I have seen
carried out with good effect is to glue on
the wooden frame of the screen while in
the rough strips of cheap, coarse lace, and
then to paint the who'll with two coats of
silver metallic enamel. This requires deft
handling to be successful but when care
fully done repays one for all the trouble
expended. The panel could be filled with
japanese tnsel crepe or any thin material
OF oriental design that would give a light.
artistic effect.
The modern CRATE with its pretty tiled
sides, requires much less complete conceal
ment than Its unsghtly predecessors, with
their vast eXpanse of black cast iron and
bricks, and often a palm or few pots of
flowers arranged on the hearth are suffi-
cient decoration for the fireplace of today,
but to hide the obtrusive ugliness of those
OF an earlier period, which still exist in
old-faShioned houses, something more i'm
pCrtant is necessary. A curtain of art
muslin, backed by a drapery of the same
material, fills up a large CRATE satisfactor-
lily enough where no one is willing to spend
much time or trouble 1t and makes a
pretty background for flower stand or
tall plant.
One of the prettiest homemade decora-
tons of this kind that l have seen lately
was narrow two-shelved table, enameled
white. On the upper shelf was a very largs
Marguerite plant standing in handsome
art pot and the lower shelf was covered
with small ferns, the whole arrangement
being backed by futed curtain of soft
green silk nailed to the back edge of the

opTwIFTED An ELEPHANT,
4 Hunter Saved by His Knowledge of
the Beasts Habits.
From Chums.

rum Nuuhls
Only those familiar with the manners
and customs" of the elephant have any idea
what nimble creature it really is Mas
sive and slow-footed as it looks it is ca
pable, when reused, of feats that would be
difficult for much ieeter animals Especial-
ly is this the case with African elephants,
which, though taller, are generally lighter
than their Asiatic brethren. Moreover, ac-
customed for ages to lead a wild life, and
often depending their alertness and
speed of foot for their very existence, they
have acquired a skill in gymnastics which
has occasionally taken even old elephant
hunters by surprise.
In Illustration of this fact we are remind
ed of a story told by one of the noble army
of British sportsmen in Africa. He was
out after elephants and had just fired at
and wounded a magnificent specimen. I'm
fortunately for him, he had only succeeded
in slightly wounding II, when, Infatuated
by the attack, it turned and charged him.
1t was a terrifying sight With its enor-
nous ears spread out Ike sails, and emit
ting shrill notes of rage, it came thunder
ing over the ground like a runaway loco
motive. The hunter fired another shot, but
missed: his nerve was shaken, and, throw
ing down his express" rife, he sought
safety in flight. Near at hand was a steep
hill, and to this he directed his steps for,
being but slightly acquainted with the
climbing powers of the elephant he thought
MS pufSuer De panied by the
steepness OF the ascent. 1t was a terrible
disappointment to find that the elephant
could climb a hill just quickly as the
hunter nfmble runner as he was. The
fugitive indeed, would have soon been over.
taken If he had not thought of n really in
genious ruse. He knew that elephants
never run, or even walk, down a steep in
cline, but always crouch down, gather their
feet together, lean well back and slide
down. Just the ferocious animal had
got within few yards of him, therefore,
the willy hunter suddenly doubled and ran
down the hill again! Quick as flash the
elephant turned, gathered himself together,
and, trumpeting with baffied rage, slid
down after his victim. The hunter had
just time to spring out of the way as the
great beast came "tobogganing" after him,
smashing trees and shrubs and carrying
everything before IL like an avalanche
Then once more the hunter dashed TO the
top of the hill, while the elephant, unable
to stop itself, went careering down to the
very foot, where, apparently feeling very
sore and disappointed. 1t rose and walked
wearily back to its native woods.

Transpiunting Hair.
n the British Medical Journal.

fTom the bTltlsn Medical JOURNAL.
Turkish physician has been experiment.
ing successfully on the transplanting of
hairs, one by one, to bald parts of the scalp.
His results seem to show that there is no
impossibility in the complete renewal of a
lost head of hair by this means, although
the amount of time and patience necessary
for the accomplishment of the task would
be considerable, to say the least. The phys
ician, Dr. Menahem Hodara, tried his ex-
pertinent in the case of a disease that had
removed part of his patients hair.
The hairs used for the purpose were
trimmed with scissors at each end. Some
four weeks after implantation a certain
number Of the hairs were found to have
taken root, and in no long time goodly
new crop was produced. DR.. Hodara has
since applied the method in other cases of
badness, and he thinks himself justified IN
stating that clinically there can be no doubt
as to this very curious fact: That small
bundles of hair stems cut with scissors and
implanted in the missions made with the
scarifier can take root and grow, forming
in time long and visible hairs.
