Some of the cushion mattings are
golden toned, almost luminous, with
suggestions of foliage dropped upon
them here and there as from a full
brush; others show unreal vagueness,
like the tops of bamboo groves in wind
and rain, or swell of golden foam
against some eastern hills, and many
display gnarled branches, tangled with
river grasses, or. green stretches of
rice field fanked by blue mountains.
! Almost all are wildly individual in
color-thick gold, dark, rich hues,

ure in the art of Japan has a new
field before him in the study of the
oldest of these Philippine mattings.
Most of the painting, and coloring is
done by women, women who have been
especially trained for years in deco
rative art, and who have been taught
TO collect and analyze facts as zeal
ously as they were urged to study
plant and animal life. These women
show great talent for industrial de-

of wages in Manila, command good
prices.

TESTAMENT FOR AN EMPRESS.
Chinn's Sovereign Has Been Presents
ed with the Costliest Copy
Ever Printed.

The poorest can now buy the New
Testament in English for nickel and
yet-strange contrast!-perhaps the
most sumptuous copy of the New Testa-
ment in existence Is that splendid edi-
ton de luxe presented to the dcwager
empress of China on the occasion of her
sixtieth birthday, the presentation hay-
ing been made in due form by the Brit
ish and American ministers. The book,
says Leslie's Weekly, is a royal quarto
volume, 2xl0x13 inches in size and was
manufactured by the Presbyterian
press and Canton silyersmiths. 1t has
silver covers, embossed with bamboo
and bird designs, and is printed on the
finest paper with the largest type, and
with a border of gold encirclirg each
page. It was encased in solid silver
casket, ornamented with symbolical
designs, the whole weighing 1917
pounds, and upon the cover of the
casket there is a gold plate which re-
lates that the book is the gift of the
Christian women in China.
Not long after the presentation of
this magnificent volume the eunuchs
were sent from the palace to the book
store to ask for common copy, so
that the empress and her ladies might
compare the two texts. Surely the cir
culation of such book is one of the
wonders of the world! age cannot
wither, nor custom stale, its infinite
variety"

PHOTOGRAPH FRAME.
How to Make Dainty birthday or
Christmas Present at IA Merely
Nominal Expense.

To make a pretty and cheap frame for
photographs, procure sheet of stout
cardboard, and from this cut an oval
frame the size desired. Buy some
poppy heads from the chemist; the
price varies according to size, but good
ones may be had at three for five cents.
With sharp, strong knife cut off
cleanly the grooved circular disks at
the end of the poppy heads. Gum these
neatly with strong gum or fish glue on
the oval frame, outer and grooved side
uppermost. When dry and securely
fixed paint these disks with gold or sill
yer metallic paint, and also paint any
surface of the cardboard left visible be-
tween the same tint or contrasting
enamel.
The photograph may be fixed to the
back of the frame in several ways, &C.

TRUE cHEERFULNEss.
Looking on the Bright Side Eventual
~ ConGuers Every Obstacle In
the Way to Happiness.

If one could choose that gife of all
others which would bring the greatest
blessings in its way, it would be the gift
of always looking on the bright side. 1t
is the people who cultivate the wise
habit of looking for the silver lining in
the clouds around them who ultimately
succeed.
The habit of looking for the bright
side is especially valuable to the mis-
tress of household. The radiance of
her cheerfulness extends like waves of
light to all who come under her influ-
ence. Many good man, broken down
by discouragements, has been cheered
by the counsel of such brave woman
and encouraged to make a fresh start,
and has gone on to final success. In
the darkest hour, when even hopeful
youth shrinks from what seems hope
less struggle, some courageous mother
has urged her son to persevere in we'll
doing, and kept him. true to himself.
That there is a bright side even in the
darkest hour, a way out of the most per-
picking maze, let us never doubt. The
most disheartening failures have often
proved the stepping stones to success.
The old saying: at is always darkest
before dawn" expresses spiritual
truth, if not a natural one.
No truly great, original work of man,
says the New York Tribune, has met
with unqualified success from the be-
ginning. All great Inventors have been
called foolish dreamers by the shallow
thinkers of the world until they proved
the value of their work. This some
times took years of trial. 1t takes a
wise person to recognize true gold in
its crude form. Genuine merit often
fails at first to be recognized. If we
can learn experience from every failure.
and gather strength for new trial by
persisting in walking on the sunny side
of our daily path, we need fear nothing.
The experience of all teaches the truth.
that by keeping the bright side before
them, and never turning back to brood
over The past, and by this means only,
Men may rise on stepping stones
OF their dead selves to higher things.

Dust Is a vicious Enemy.

Dust must be looked upon as one of
our greatest enemies, both indoor as
we'll as outdoor dust. A room should
not be busted for an hour after it has
been cleaned. BY this time the dust will
have had time TO settle. Carpets, when
not properly clean, are enemies to
health. They should be shaken as often
as possible, as this prolongs theirwear;
the dust which collects under them
grinds out the threads. When car
pet is faded washing it with strong salt
and water will often restore the bright
ness of the colors. Cheap dusty Goals
are injurious to health, and the fumes
affect the throat and Tugs. The best
kinds should always be used and will
be found the cheaper in the end.

AN ALASKAN HOME.
How the Family Passes the Evenings
After the Days Work
Is Over.

An Alaskan hut is not the worst
place in the world-far from it. Its
interior consists of square floor of
earth flanked on all sides by two
wide lodges rising one above the other
like a terrace. On the lower one
rest the cooking, weaving and fish
ing utensils, the knives and needles,
pots and pans. On the upper ledge,
with much display of wonderfully.
woven blankets, are the beds. In the
center of the room glows the fire; the
smoke cropping its way out of hole
! in the roof. After the days work is
done and the stomachs of both people
and dogs are full the family gathers
around the fire. Facing the door sits
the father, next to him the mother;
on one hand the sons, and on the 9TH
er the daughters, even to the third
and fourth generation, it may be. Be-
yond these are the servants or slaves.
Each has his place, and takes it as a
matter of course. Without, in the
darkness, the dogs clutter about the
door and howl. The mysterious and
implicable sea keeps up its thunder.
The snow-capped mountains, with
their illimitable glaciers, lie just be-
yond. The shafts of the northern
lights dart through the sky, like the
harpoons of Titan with incredible

UNEXPECTED PRESENTS
Peculiar Transportation Of words
Frequently Found In Modern
Writings.

If it happens that some public char
aeter becomes the object of set of
resolutions, cane or other testi-
nonial, the printed account of the
function presents some singular fea-
lures. Owing to certain carelessness
in the handling of the English Ian
guage-elastic as that medium of
speech is-the writer makes himself
say exactly the opposite that he in
tends to say. A well-educated man
and regular writer for publication
will make this glaring error in the
majority of his productions.
For instance, the nation-that is,
small portion-made up a pocketbools
to buy Admiral Dewey a home. In
ton, headlines and alL-none is barred
that has come under the eyes of the
writer-the text ran after this man
ner: admiral Dewey Given House."
The elision of the proposition to-" in
the eyes of the writer of that line,
seems to have atoned for the blunder.
The effect is that Admiral Dewey was
presented to q house instead of the
house having been presented to the
admiral.
Instances without number are print
ed wherein prominent educators, law
makers and others are formally picked
up-in language if not in physique
and presented to walking sticks under

out of a hundred cases of this kind the

of the object of the sentence. This is

THEATRICAL SCENERY.
Stage Pictures Are Now Painted
Upon Tough Brown Paper
for Portability.

Except as regards the part that
mechanism plays the scenic artists OF
Italy are the best in the world, as eff
fective painters, and the fact is so well
recognized in these days of almost
all scenery being done by contract-a
resident scenic artist is getting to be
rarity-that great trade of this sort
has sprung up between the painters OF
Italy and the managers everywhere,
And this is particularly so as regard
companies that come to America. So
heavy has been the cost of Transporting
tons OF scenery, and so exacting have
the customs officials been OF late years.
that the generality of managers at one
time found it cheaper TO have new
scenes painted after they arrived. But
the Italian system has largely done
away with all this, for it includes the
painting of the scenery on large sheets
OF a peculiarly tough sort of brown
paper, these being numbered and
Joined together with unerring accuracy.
A recent grand opera production in this
country depended scenically upon these
sheets of paper alone, and not even the
oldest playgoer in the house could dis
tinguish any popularity.
OF course, the sheets are spread upon
canvas in the ordinary way and a
"toucher-up" is required after they
are spread, but the system is immense
~ useful when a new production is
taken from one capital to another at
great distance, and the italian artists
are sending their sheets to managers
all over the world.

A newspaper is an educator there are all kinds

judiciously and literally is better able to impart
his knowledge than the man who has little or

The Sun is the highest type of a newspaper.
The Suns reports from all parts of the United

The Suns Cable Service is the finest known;
the troubles in the Philippines and in South Africa
demand competent correspondents and vast ex-

When you get The Sun you get news and intelli-

you get the dregs- generally very poor dregs at
