A MOURNING LAMP.
An Eccentric Bit of Furnishing DE.
signed for New York So
cicty WOman's Room.

In search for fashion novelties your
correspondent has come across most
unique bit of furniture. 1t is in the
shape of a mourning lamp. In the New
York home of well-known society
matron whose sister died abroad a few
years ago there is room furnished in
remembrance of the deceased relative.
Everything in the room is black, save
the carpet, which was made to order
and has violet background with black
flowers standing out upon it in somber
relief. The furniture is of richly carved
ebony. The curtains of black satin
brocade, and all the ornaments are
black.
But the oldest bit of decoration yet
is the lamp-the only light-producing

Goodness of feet and limbs is almost
invariably an evidence of indigestion.
The GOODNESS is due not to the weakness
of the heart or feebleness of circulation,
as is generally supposed, but to the
contraction of the small arteries, pre-
venting blood from entering the parts.
There is generally an irritation of the
abdominal sympathetic nerve centers
which control the circulation of the
lower extremities. This difficulty is not
to be removed by exercise or by any spe-
cial application to the limbs, but by re-
moval of the causes of irritation. This
may be prolapsed stomach or chronic
indigestion. Hot and cold footballs
are valuable. These act not simply
on the feet and limbs, but by reflex
action affect beneficially the abdominal
sympathetic centers, which are in a
diseased condition.

Make Your own Perfume.

You can easily make delicious vio-
let perfume for yourself by putting half
an ounce of orris root, broken into
small pieces, in bottle with two
ounces of alcohol. Add to this bunch
of newly-picked violets, cork and bottle
tightly and shake well. After it has
been standing four or five days. few
drops on the handkerchief will leave
the scent of fresh violets. Apropos OF
perfume is the laundering of fine linen
and silk handkerchiefs. To obtain the
best results wash them in salt and wa
ter and iron while damp under a thin
cloth wet with perfume.

Pretty WindOw HanginES.

White muslin curtains for windows
will be much used this year in summer
houses. The frilled border is out of
fashion and an embroidered open-work
edge is in vogue. That this launders
more easily than the frilled edge may
be one secret of its popularity. These
curtains with the fiat open-work bor-
der and an embroidered design scat
tered over the surface may be bought
for very small sum. The new dotted
Swiss curtains with scalloped edge
are extremely dainty and pretty for
summer draperies. The dot is large
enough to be conspicuous.

Tattooing and snake Bites.

While scientific minds are discussing
the anti-toxin serum treatment of dis
ease as if it were new thing, the peo-
pie of ancient Bufmah are calling at
tention to the fact that for centuries
the material they have used in the
common custom of tattooing has been
an efficient anti-toxin for snake bites.
The tattooed Burmese regard the bites
of poisonous snakes as harmless. This,
at least, is the statement of gentle
man from Burmah, who brings tes-
timony to bear in confederation of his
angular statement.

WHEN TEDDY SMITH.


When Teddy Smith first put on pants.
He felt so very grand
He wouldn't mind his mother,
Or he wouldn't ho.d her hand.
But on the street he walked ahead,
And tried to whistle some.
He thought perhaps he'd go to war,
And fire an awful gun.
He wouldn't ride his hobby-horse.
He called Jack Spratt "a fib!'
He sat at meals in fathers chair,
And scorned his bingham bib.
His mother mustn't spread his bread,
Nor cut things on his plate.
She mustn't say: mo more, my dear!'
No matter what he ate.
She mustn't kiss him when he fell
And bumped him on the stones,
And she must say: Dear SIR" just as
She did to Mr.. Jones!
So hard to please this gentleman
His loving mother tried,
1t quite enlarged his dignity.
And swelled his lofty pride.
And all was brave, and all was well,
Until that mother said
At eight o'clock: "Of course, dear sir.
You'll go alone to bed"
All. would you have me say what then
Befell the great big man?
For IL you undertake to guess
| hardly think you can.
He turned the corners of his mouth
Most fearfully awry,
He rubbed his grown-up fist awhile
Across his grown-up eye,
Then burying in his mothers lap
Both pride and manly joy
He said in just the littlest voice:
II guess I'm just boy!"

panion.

will hold all the small tools, the seed
and the commercial fertilizer, and to
take in it all necessary articles to the
field and to keep them there. The box
should therefore shed water and should
be provided with lock and key. If made
in the form shown in the cut horse
can be hitched to it, when it can be
drawn to the field without loading it
upon drag or cart. The bottom boards
run lengthwise and project in front,
turning up to enable the box to pass
readily over any inequalities in the
ground. Such device will save many
steps and much time that might be lost
in going for articles that by this plan
are always right at hand.-N. Y. Trib-

Hints About Summer POrtferes.

The draperies in the summer house
have much to do with its effect. Take
away from the house the pretty cur
tains that drape the walls, windows
and doors and it will assume decided
ly bare appearance. Among the new
materials for draperies that are within
the means of women who are planning
for the summer home is snow flake
cloth. LISA very light tan in color-al-
most scattered with fally white
dots and showing striped silk bor-
der in china blue, sage green or old
rose. The silk border is also in Roman
colors. Another new portiere, some
what more expensive, is of Bombay
cloth with large empire design en-
broidered in tinsel. For library this
is very effective in wood brown with
