LaughabIe Ways of Earning Money.

AauBHaDle " ayS Oh EARNING money.
The women folk of the Methodist
Church at Oxford, q small town in
Kansas, agreed recently to earn the
money to make some necessary church
repairs. When they had succeeded
they held an experience meeting, a:
which each contributor related what
she had done to earn her dollar. Some
of their doings make very laughablc
reading.
Mrs. NJ. Collins said that one night
she was wondering how she was going
to earn any money, when her husband
came in very tired and said he would
give quarter to have his feet bathed
She bathed the feet and earned the
quarter. A few days later her hus-
band was tearing around the house
hunting for his overshoes and said he
would give half dollar to know whar
had become of them. She told him she
had sold them to the rag man and 4 :.
mandad the half. This made seventy
five cents of her dollar. and the othes
twenty-five cents she got by making;
three sunbonnets.
Mrs. Fred Barnes picked peaches
and washed dishes for neighbor.
Miss Zulu Cole engaged in a great
variety Of employments. She got five
cents for washing Mrs. Middleton s
dishes, ten cents for doing some sew,
ing for her sister, five cents from Eel
uncle for keeping her mouth shut five
minutes, five cents for killing three
Srats. fifteen cents for sweeping tho
sidewalk in front of two stores, ten
cents for dressing up as darkey and
dancing tine cake walk and five cents
for popping some corn.
Miss LYDIA Mills made fifty cents by
mending the harness and making 4
new halter for the cow.
: Miss Lettie Morrill, got fifty cents fol
doctoring 4 sick calf.

Table Linen.

Fine, white table linen is always il
the best taste at dinner. What il
known as double damask is always de
sirable, if it is fine and of small pat
tern. Good, fancy weaves of linen
like the crepelike monte cloths, finf
some favor. The cloths which havt
napkins to match in the regular din
ner size, three-quarters Of q yar(
square, are finished with hemstitche(
hem, which is sometimes ornamentet
with an insertion Of heavy linen lace
Lace insertions in table linen are gen
orally reserved for tea cloths and tht
lunch cloth. The breakfast cloth is s
usually plain damask, with napkin!
6ve-eighths of yard square. Coloret
cloths are little used by people Of re
fined taste. The table centre, which II
placed under the low jardiniere oil
ferns or flowers that so often orna
ments the centre Of the table, seldom
shows any color, although it is fire
quently a piece of exquisite needle
work in white. Special napkins Of
doillies for boiled eggs, corn and some
times for rolls, are used, and fancy
doillies of various sizes for plates anti
cups, where the polished top Of the
table is uncovered. Table mats are
out of date, as the heavy blanketing
used under the table cloth at meals
sufficiently protects it from hot dishes
Do not allow table linen to freeze
in winter, because it is easily cracked
by being folded when in frozen state.
Dry it in the house, even at the risk
of it turning yellow. 1t can be easily
bleached on the spring grass in the
sunshine.-New York Tribune.

Electric Ray Cure.

One of the novelties in medical treat
ment is the electric ray cure" The
Princess Of Wales recently gave an
expensive apparatus to the London
Hospital and now every day patients
may be found comfortably seated IN
reclining chairs in q circle around the
eight room." From the ceiling an
electric lamp is suspended, with lenses
so arranged as to concentrate the light
upon the sufferers. A nurse stands
behind each patient and presses a
glass lens on the spot under treatment.

Tho Partisan LapdoR.

There are to-day $4,000 lapdogs In
the city of Paris. They have almost
as much attention after they are dead
as during their comfortable lives.
The dogs owner pays ten francs a
year to the city during its life. If
it takes sick it is taken to a special
clinic for the treatment and housing of
dogs In poor health. After it dies 1t
is taken to q cemetery which is kept
in excellent condition from the pro-
ceeds Of the money, obtained from
the price paid for the burial plot.

House Gowns For Winter Wear.


Gowns to wear in the house are so
essentially feminine and dainty this
season it Is small wonder that much
time, thought and expense are eN-
pended on them. They are so different
from the street costumes. and allow for
so much more exercise Of individual
taste that women take an especial in.
terest in them. They are not neces-
sarily expensive, especially this year.
In this respect they differ from the
street gowns, which call for perfection
Of workmanship as well as good fit
House gowns, the term as used this
time, including tea gowns, include the
gowns that are worn in the house or
that are smart enough to wear to an
afternoon reception or to the theatre,
but are too elaborate in design or too
light in color or texture for street
wear. A very good model for one Of
these gowns is made with long skirt
and has no trimming whatever, but in
front and at the sides are rows Of
narrow tucks put in to form a yoke
shape, stitched down so that they give
no unnecessary fulness, and yet make
the skirt hang well. With this skirt
is worn smart blouse of lace or sat-
in, embroidered net, jetted or spangled,
and with basque that is longer in
front than back. A yoke Of tucked
chiffon and jet embroidery, and a belt
and sash of chiffon, add to the soft
effect of the gown, while the under.
sleeves Of chiffon are gathered into a
band of embroidery at the wrist.

WOMEN TOI.MAKERS.
Thirty Million Toys Consumed Annually
in the United States.

Thirty Million Toys Consumed Annually
in the United States.
There are 100000 children in the
United States, each one Of whom con.
sumes at least two toys year. These
SEtoys laid together would form belt
Eaching from New York to San Fran
gfSfsco. The making of them is huge
s S38dustry in which the factors are ma
Sefline, men, and women. The machines
do the hard labor, the men attend to
the mechanical part, and the women
add the artistic elements and put on
the finishing touches. New York City
ais the most important centre of the
trade, and is supposed to turn out near
ly one-half of all the toys made in the
United States. The work is irregular,
being at maximum from July to No
vember, and at minimum from
Christmas to April. A few toys arc
made exclusively by women. These
include several varieties of dolls, pa
per figures, Christmas-tree decorations,
toy flowers, and dolls trousseaux.
With such toys as patent dolls, dolls
houses and kitchens, Noah's arks, and
the cheaper mechanical affairs, the
work is very evenly divided between
the sexes. Strange to say, women sell
dom, if ever, succeed with mechanical
I toys. On the other hand, it is just as
rare for men to master the art of put
ting on a dolls complexion or coloring
q wooden cow so as to please the juv-
emile heart.
The trade was formerly very un-
healthful, but so many have been the
improvements of late years that most
Of the former drawbacks have passed
away. The workrooms are we'll ven
tilated and lighted, and the accom-
modations praiseworthy. About one
third Of all the work is done at home
This is particularly the case with dolls
raiment creations in paper, cloth.
and tinsel, and the coloring Of dolls
faces. The wages paid differ greatly.
Each shop or factory has its own sys'
tenn. In factories wages vary with the
skill of the operator, and run from So
{ to SS week. The more common prac-
tice is to pay by the piece. When this
is done the operatives income runs
from fifty cents to as high as 81 a
day, and averages about eighty-five
cents day.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.
