A Forum ate Puss.

Mrs. Coady, who teaches a primary
school at Oakland, Cal, is very proud
of a remarkable cat which she keeps
alive through general subscription
among her rdpils. During several
years experience Mrs. Coady has
found that the only way she can
reach the infantile heart is through
kindness to animals. Acting on this
she secured large fuzzy cat which
She gave into the tender hands of
her children. The result has been
the children fell in love with the ami
NAL, and to divide up the prize Mrs.
Coady decided to allow the children
to take the cat home each night IN
regular routine. The result has been
the cat has become large and AFRO
CANT through the munifcent treat
ment of its separate masters, who re-

bird saw him up in the tree, she
would be SO frightened that she would
fly away and never come back; but
she loved her little brides too muck
for that. Seth worked as fast as he
could but it seemed long time te
me before the nest was fixed, because
l was in such hurry. Then he tool
the box and climbed up with it and
put the little birds back. All the
time the mother-bird was flying
around and around and crying. As
soon as Seth went away, l sat very
still to see what would happen. The
mother-bird didn't come to the nest
right away, but in few minutes she
came; and, when she was all fixed OF
the nest, she stopped crying, and the
little birds stopped peeping. I Went

How to Keep Books.

Books, it is said, are spoiled
by being criss-crossed on con-
venient desks and stands. Valuable
volumes should, therefore, be kept in
racks. One of the best of library ta-
bles is constructed after the shape Of
those used in Roman Libraries. 1t is
a table, sure enough, on top, but is
provided with shelves beneath, shelves
so arranged that when book is put
temporarily aside it need not be laid
fiat on its side, but stands upon its
feet, so to speak, which is the only
proper position for book to be placed
in. On top of this table there is an
other receptacle for books, a small
revolving stand, which is designed to
hold the small dictionaries of foreign
languages and other reference books.
This is case of fine, simply polished
hardwood and is especially adapted to
the mans library. For reading desks
of busy authors, the morocco bound
book blocks are at once useful and or
namental, though there is something
newer and rather more decorative in
the shape of painted or engraved
leather revolving stand, which, by it's
brass handle, can be moved about the
room at the convenience of the reader,
and 8 "rewed into the arm of the new

Corners in the Living Room

very pretty corner may be ar
ranged in any living room by means of
a screen and a divan. Over the divan
there may be, if you choose, canopy,
and plenty of cushions are indispensa-
BILE to its easeful luxury. But screen
answers every purpose of retirement
and withdrawal and, being readily
portable, lends itself to the house
keepers requirements. In country
cottages where space is important not
only corners may be secured at pleas
ure and furnished at discretion by
the help of the screen, but one room
may be made to do duty as several
as dining room, library and drawing
room, as one of these at time, or as
all three, should occasion suggest.

The Invalid's Room.

When possible, the invalid's room
should have a south or southwest as
pect. A room of medium size is the
best. Ventilation is easier to manage,
and there is less to clean than in a
large room.
For many reasons, it is advisable
that, if it can be so arranged, the sick
room should be near the top of the
house. In the first place, it is quieter;
noises from the street as we'll as those
from the house, will be less noticea-
BILE.
But a far more important reason is
that poisoned and vitiated air has a
tendency to rise, therefore, if the sick
room is on the first floor the impure
air will rise to the top of the house,
and possibly affect those who may be
living above the invalid.
If there is small dressing room ad-
Joining the invalid's room, so much the
better. 1t will be useful as store
room for extra bedding and reserves
of all kinds.
The sick room must be cheerful in
appearance. Get rid of superfluous
upholstered furniture, which only acts
as dust traps, and in the after disin-
fecting may possibly be spoiled. Heavy
curtains and valances are undesirable
in infectious cases, but there is no rea-
son that pretty wash curtains of lace
or muslin should not be decoratively
employed.

our Cotton Trade.

The United States furnishes nearly
nine-tenths of the worlds supply of
cotton; the East Indies, Egypt and
smaller countries the other tenth. We
can hardly maintain this ascendency
with the efforts making to take away
the business. Japan, for example, is
manufacturing cotton cloth, and takes
largely of our supply. Now she has
cut her demand in two because by
using cheap Indian cotton and mixing
it with the American article she can
place her goods on the market at less
price than if wholly made Of our ma
terial. Another competitor will ma
terialize in few years. With the
damming of the Nile and the estab-
lishment of the irrigating canals which
are part of the enterprise, vast
tract of Egypt will be opened up foI
the cultivation Of the cotton plant
An area equal to four large American
states will be reclaimed and much OF
it will be devoted to cotton raising
European and Asiatic manufacturers
expect to get the material much
cheaper, because Egyptian labor is
paid so little in comparison with
American.

The Printing of Postage Stamps.

In printing, steel plates are used,
on which two or more stamps are en-
graved. Two men are Kept hard at
work covering them with colored
inks, and passing them to man and
girl, who are kept busy at printing
them with large rolling handpresses.
Three of these little squads are en-
ployed all the time, although 10
presses can be put into use in case
of necessity. After the small sheets
of paper upon which the 200 stamps
are engraved have dried enough they
are sent into another room and
gummed. The gum used for this pur-
pose is a peculiar composition, made
of the powder of dried potatoes, and
other vegetables, mixed with water,
which is better than any other mate
rial; for instance, gum arabic, which
cracks the paper badly. This paper
is of a peculiar texture, somewhat
similar to that used for bank notes.
After having been again dried, this
time on the little cracks which are
famed by steam power, for about an
pasteboard and pressed in hydraulic
presses, capable of applying weight
of 1000 tons. The next thing is to cut
the sheet in half, each sheet, of
course, when cut, containing a 100
stamps. This is done by girl, with
a large pair of shears, by hand, being
preferred to that of machinery, which
method would destroy too many
other squads, who, in as many opera
tions, perforate the paper between
the stamps. Next they are pressed
once more, and then packed and
labeled, and slowed away in another
room, preparatory to being put in
mail bags for despatching to fill or
ders. If single stamp is torn, or in
any way multilated the whole sheet
of 100 stamps is burned. There are
100000 burned every week from this
cause. For the past 20 years not
sheet has been lost, such care has
been taken in counting them. Each
sheet is counted II times.

Tho Story That Bcttic Told.

My little niece Bette was spending
a summer with me in the country and
one day, as we walked to church, a
bird hopped across our path.
20 auntie," said Bette, that looks
Just like the little bird l was so un-
kind to last spring. | didn't mean to
be unkind, you know, but was; and
| always feel so sad when l think
about it,
What did you do?" said. Tell
me about it."
And this is what she told.
You see, auntie, l had just had a
little room given me for my own; and
l was fixing it up with pretty little
things. There was bracket against
the wall with openwork sides; and
thought it would be nice to stick
little branch into it, and fix birds
nest into the branch. So looked into
all the trees to find a nest that the
birds had left. At last l found one
that l felt sure must be safe to take;
for never saw any birds flying about
it, although l looked a good many
times. So l went and got the long
stick that our gardener, Seth, used
to prune the trees, and began to
punch at it. Q auntie! can hardly
tell you the rest; it tipped sideways,
and two poor little young birds fell
to the ground! Oh, / can't tell you
how l felt! l ran to the house and
told mamma; and she told me to get
Seth to climb up with the ladder, and
straighten the nest and put the little
birds back into it. I ran right off to
find him; but. while was looking.
she came out with little box and
some cotton, and told me to run to
the tree and pick up the little birds.
and put them in the box and cover
them with the cotton, while she
looked for Seth
"Oh auntie what do you think,
when I got back to the tree. | found
two more little birds had fallen out
of the nest; and the poor mother bird
had come back. and she was f1ying
around and around, and crying almost
like a person. and the little birds
were answering with such weak little
peeps 1t made me cry SO that !
could hardly see to pick up the birds
had just got them covered up warm
when Seth came with the ladder.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under
the sun"

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use OF powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous MEM
branes causing them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used in the
inhalers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and oint-
ments cannot reach the disease. An old
and experienced practitioner who has
for many years made close study and
specially OF the treatment of CATARRH,
has at last perfected Treatment which
when faithfully used, not only relieves at
oncc, but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the dis
charges, and curing all inflammation. 1t
is the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted parts.
This wonderful remedy is known as
"SNUFFLES the GUARANTEED
CATARRH CURE" and is sold at the
extremely low price of One Dollar, each
package containing internal and external
medicine sufficient for a full months
treatment and everything necessary to
its perfect use.
"SNUFFLES" is the only perfect
CATARRH CURE ever made and is now
recognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all inflammation quick
ly and permanently and is also wonder
fully quick to relieve HAY FEVER or
COLD in the HEAD.
CATARRH when neglected often leads
to Observation-Disclosures will
save you if you use it at once. 1t is no
ordinary remedy, but a complete treat
ment which is positively guaranteed to
cure CATARRH in any form or stage il
used according to the directions which
accompany each package. Don't delay,
but send for it at once, and write full
particulars as to your condition, and you
will receive special advice from the dis
coverer of this wonderful remedy re-
garding your case without cost to you
beyond the regular price OF "SNUFFLES
