SIMPLE PAINTINGS FOR CHILDREN.
Mothers who have little children to
occupy and amuse will find a wealth OF
material for that purpose in the gifts
and occupations used in the kinder
garten, even if they have neither the
time nor the knowledge necessary to
utilize them for systematic instruction.
All children like to string beads, and
fascinating variety may be procured at
small cost. Round, square and cylin-
drical ones of all colors may be had at
four cents dozen. If fine wire is used
to string them they may be shaped into
a variety of patterns, and with two
threads elaborate designs may be made.
Besides glass beads there are large and
small wooden beads in six different
colors which cost forty cents gross.
Paper cutting is another fascinating
occu patton to children, who all love to
WELD the scissors. ColOred papers-red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and
white-five inches square, on purpose
for cutting, costs fifteen cents hundred.
Large sheets of silver and gilt paper are
five cents each. For twenty-five cents a
little book called "Paper and Scissors in
the Schoolroom" may be purchased. 1t
has many illustrations, and explains ex-
actly how to fold and cut papers to OBJ
tain the best results.

Perforated sewing-cards for outline
embroidery will furnish employment for
busy fingers for many an otherwise idle
moment. The designs are extremely
varied, from the simplest forms to quite
elaborate pictures. They are worked in
embroidery silk or colored thread made
for the purpose with blunt-pointed
needles having long eyes.
The smallest sized cards cost thirty
five cents hundi ed, the largest a dol
lar, and there are two sizes between.
A dozen spools of silk may be had for
seventy cents, and dozen spools Of cot
ton for sixty cents, there being much
more of the cotton than of the silk.
Split zephyr wool is sometimes used, and
this costs ten cents skein. Twenty
five needles are sold for ten cents.
Older children may perforate their
own designs. Squares of cardboard OF
Bristol-bOard are ruled in squares so
that the design may easily be copied on
them and then pricked in with perfO-
rating needle. This, with pricking.
cushion made of a fine, heavy felt, may
be purchased for twenty cents. Fifty
squares of cardboard cost twenty-five
cents, and twenty-five sheets of Bristol.
board, fifteen cents. Both may be had
either white or tinted.
Bible sewing-cards have pictures out,
lined on them, taken principally from
the history of the Jews or Old Tesla
ment scenes. Pricking these ready for
sewing is an occupation for Sunday
afternoon while the mother reads the
stories connected with them.
Cards printed in colors may be OBJ,
tanned for forty cents a dozen, so that
the little artist will have no difficulty
whatever in choosing correct combi-
nation of tints in working the design.

A Brooklyn Bridge support His Tomb.

A Brooklyn Bridge support His Tomb.
Few of the hundreds of thousands of
persons who go back and forth across
the Brooklyn bridge daily know that
one of the big stone supports on the
New York side of the river contains
the bones of man who met death
while the bridge was in the course of
erection. The support had been built
to the full height. 1t was hollow from
its foundation to the top, the opening
being about one and one-half feet
square, The man who is buried in the
support was standing on top of it when
he lost his balance and fell into the
hollow. He shot down to the bottom
and was never seen again. Attempts
were made to recover his body by let
ting down a rope hundreds of feet long
to which was attached a hook. For
days and nights workmen fished for
the body. hut could not get it, and the
pill" was allowed to be the workman's
tomb.

FOUND IN HELMS BRANCH.
Dead Body of an Infant Discovered
Friday Morning.

Friday morning about O'Clock, as
some colored boys were passing Helms
branch on Eighth street, near the colored
Baptist church, they discovered -four
sack, which was closely tied and APP
peared to be full of clothes Upon
opening the sack. the remains of new
born baby were found. The police were
Immediately notified and took charge of
the body.
City Health Officer Porter and Coun
ty Health Officer Voc. HES made post
norton examination of the remains, and
came to the conclusion that life had
been extinct between ten and sixteen
hours. The baby was fully developed,
and the condition of the lungs showed
that it must have lived after birth.
The scalp was considerably bruised
and clotted with blood, and it is pre-
sumed that death resulted from this
cause, as no natural causes could be
found.
The officials have not been able sc
far to find the pareots of the child. The
location and condition of the body when
found would indicate that the body
was placed in the branch near the place
where it was discovered.
There is some difference of opinion a.
to whether it is the body of white OF
negro child, but the doctors who held
the post norton are of the opinion thai
it is an octoroon.

They Caught Santa Claus.

Binghampton, N. 1.-TWO small
boys set bear trap for Santa Claus
and caught their cousin, Henry De
Kalb, who was personating the an
cient saint. The boys knew he was
to appear, and thought if they way
laid him they would get large
quantity of presents. Accordingly,
with the aid of several companions
they set a bear trap, taken from a
storehouse, in path they thought
he would come to reach their dwell
ing. A Christmas entertainment
had been arranged, which was to
conclude with a distribution of
presents by Santa Claus. He was on
time, but unfortunately put his foot
in the trap. The blow broke his leg,
causing the hone to protrude through
the flesh. He was with difficulty
released, and the wound is of such a
nature that the doctors saw they can
not save the leg.-New York Trib

its way and that it will be more
settled in its conditions than it
has the past month. The people
have made their choice and their
favorite men will shortly be in
stalled in office and it is hoped the
new aldermen will take hold of
the reins of the municipality and
guide them in the direction that
will prove most profitable and adj
vantageous. The recent election
was hotly contested and the new
officers have earned their respec-
tive honors, During the campaign
business and commercial interests
were forgotten in the race, but
now it is thing of the past and
the people hope that in short
time Florence will again be the
town that it was last fall.
