doors are attached by means of
hinges. These boxes are placed on
end so as to support the desk ledge
and bookcases.
Three boards are driven together
and placed across the upper ends of
them, and made fast with screws.
The bookcases can be two long
shoe boxes of even size, and arranged
with shelves somewhat as shown in
the drawing.
Across the top a shelf is placed and
made fast. This will bind the cases
together and prevent them from NOV
ing, while at the same time the bot
tom of each box can be made fast to
the desk top.
Simple curtains of some light mate
rial are fastened at the top and half
way down at the front of the cases
by means of light rods and rings, so
that when desired they may be drawn
across to hide the shelving and books.
Drawers can be made in the lower
cases to accommodate writing mate
rails, and the closets below them will
be quite large enough to harbor mag
azines, pamphlets, etc.
Halfway from the desk ledge to the
top of the window a shelf can be ar
ranged to hold two or three glass
bowls from which growing vines can
climb on the curtains or on fine wires
strung across from case to case.
The shelving in the cases should
be placed the proper distances apart
to accommodate books of various
sizes, the smaller volumes at the top
and the larger ones at the bottom as
shown.-St. Louis Globe-4 mocrat

If these are rubbed at once with
turpentine they come off quite east
ly, but if they have been allowed to
dry a little ammonia should be mixed
with the turpentine, provided it is. a
fast color" material. If the color is
one that is likely to be injured, drop
a little sweet oil on the spot, then
rub with turpentine, removing the
grease spot afterward by rubbing
with benzine or ether.

Christmas and Christmas giving he eX-
pressed himself as follows:
when l was boy in Scotland used
to get up at four o'clock Christmas
morning. and a crowd of us would go
through the village shouting at the
top of our voices: n merry Christmas!
Wake upl Wake up This sounded
the keynote to our Christmas. There
was little gift-giving; it was necessari-
ly a frugal holiday. but it was full or
good-natured merriment and we felt
the thrill of the true Christmas spirit.
1t was and is a glorious time. 1t is
the children's carnival; the midsummer
of charity; the spring-tide of good will
to men; the time of year when the
heavens open and angels come down
to sing in the lone reaches of new
colonies, to people in hospitals, poor
houses, and mansions, and the huts
where poor men lie I would not de-
grade the beautiful festival by overdo,
ing it. The man who does most for
his fellow-men, according to his means,
does best
still. I think it is not hard to see
how we may spare even at the Christ
mas-tide. and do more and better than
if we spend. If a man spends the
money he ought to save to pay his
debts, when he knows very well that
he can pay them only by saving, the
giving what he buys right and left
with an open hand, is to his own shame.
Not a penny ought to be laid out in
gifts we can well let alone. We should
never spend when we ought to spare,
especially if we have families. One of
the saddest things l have seen in my
life has been families left destitute
through certain easy-going generosi-
ty in the man out of whose life they
sprang, who laid up nothing for
rainy day. ! can easily imagine how
such d nlan would be glad to exchange
his harp and crown. if he should find
himself in Heaven, for good six-per-
cent. stock-supposing a man could go
there who. through his own careless
ness, has left wife and family of lit
tie children without a penny in the
world"

Goldwin Smith hns renewed thel
discussion about anarchy and the
means to abate 1t by a thoughtful ar
tlcle that has been commented upon
by the press In varied language. With
one part of his article conservative
opinion, perhaps, will have no difficult
ty in agreeing, and that Is that extreme
measures are not needed, and perhaps
would aggravate the disease they mean
measures, and severely condemns rs
worse than folly talk OF lynching, tor
ture on any unusual punishment, such
as conlinement on nn island. lie can
see no necessity for any reactionary
legislation, nor for the revision of the
principles that underlie the American
constitution. The people who are now
crying for n curtailment of political
liberty or restriction of freedom OF
speech or of press ON account OF sin
gle murder, however detestablc, he
says, viii surely some day be ashamed
of this, No anarchism could he more
complete or worse than arbitrary pow,

STAND BACK, PLEASE, Mr.. OHIO
MAN!

Several days ago the Columbus State
Journal published an article appeal
ing for funds in behalf of the Ohio
Republican Executive Committee. The
appeal was concluded with the para
graph:
"We believe that Republicans
throughout the country realize the i'm
porlance of this year's campaign in
Ohio. Democratic victory here
would be in the light of rebuke to
| the national and state administra-
tions, and would seem to foreshadow
| the election of Democratic House
of Representatives next year. 1t would
| mean that this state would be redis-
| tricted and the number of Democratic
creased. Realizing the Importance of
| this years campaign, we feel sure
| that Republicans all over the country
will gladly render their assistance
without waiting for the fOrmality of
a letter from our committee. 1t is
| phiy H'''Houiy tbtN hnoW
we will be glad of their help"
A copy of this appeal found Its way
into the hands of some Connecticut
Republicans, one of whom sent 1t with
the following comment to the Spring
| field Republican,:
