Parquetry is an amusement in color
work that may please children who dc
not care for drawing or painting.
Paper of eighteen different cOlors and
tints is accurately cut by machinery into
different shapes, oblong and round,
squares and circles. These are pasted on
flat surface in different designs, as
Greek borders, geometrical forms, OF
anything that may be made by a COM
bination of straight lines. They cost
about fifteen cents for a thousand pieces.
Mounting sheets of white Bristol
board, ruled in one-inch squares and per-
forated at one end, so they may be tied
together when done, cost ten cents a
dozen. The ruling makes it easy to copy
a design. A tube of library paste and a
camel's-hair brush may be used with the
ungummed papers.
Clay modelings is most fascinating
occupation for children, appealing as it
does directly to the primal instinct
which finds expression in mud pies.
The material is easily obtainable either
in five-pound brick of artists dry clay,
costing twents-five cents, or in very
finely powdered clay flour. This is
packed in dust-tight boxes and is sold at
the same price as the bricks. Two
wooden modelling spatulas may be had
for five cents. "Clay Modelling in the
Schoolroom," price twenty-five cents,
contains the most minute directions for
this work.-Ladies' Home Journal.

ABOUT The BABY.

Regularly, quiet and fresh air are the
things to keep baby well and make II
grow up strong. The child should be
out of doors as much as possible in sun
ny days. 1t may be laid in the carriage,
with hood, facing the nurse so that she
may watch it constantly. A young baby
should never be taken out in damp, fog.
gy weather or in the night air.
Most babies enjoy being put on mat.
tress laid on the floor, care being taken
that the draught does not come from
under the doors, and allowed to kick at
will. The muscles and bones are
strengthened by this means. When the
child gets big enough crawling rug,
ornamented with appliques of animals,
birds, etc., is great amusement to the
little one.

THE MAIDEN OF THE SMILE.

IN that fair land where slope anil plain
Shine back to sun and sky
And olives shield the sprou;ing grain
When wintry arrows fly,
Where snow fed streams seek sun warmed
vale,
Through vineyard scarped defle,
The world we enter with wall
She greeted with smile.
LAUNDERING. she smiled and. smiling. woke.
And when she felt the smart
OF grave, sad life smiles still bespoke
Her tenderness Of heart,
And nightly when she knelt and prayed
Beside her snow white bed
Her face was one pure smile that mace
A heaven about her head.
When love first trembled In her ear
The heart throbs that beguile,
She listened with asserting tear,
Then chased 1t with q smile.
Sorrow and pain with smiles abe bore
Unto her latest breath.
But the sweetest smile she ever wore
Was the smile she wore In death.

Gender of the Sword.

Among the many curious notions OBJ
tanning among the different races using
the sword may be noted the gender OF
the weapon. In the north Of Europe 1t
was either masculine, as In Britain, or
neuter, as in Germany, while IN the
south It was uniformly feminine. Its
force and cruelty appealed to the north
ern mind. Its grace and elegance at
tracted the warriors Of the sunny south.
It typihed to the one strength, to the
other observation-disclosures.

InE COST OF oeFENplNc THE CUP.


The exact sum of money paid for the
Columbia, in 1899, is not known, but the
sum has been estimated at not less than
$4,000. Without doubt it cost over
CSC, 900 to carry her through the season;
probably the sum was much greater than
this. In the first part of the season her
owners paid $4,000 for three suits OF
sails. And then there was the Defender,
which acted as a trial horse to the
Columbia. It cost just $4,000 for her
to be trial horse, but it was paid with
out groan. And now for the present
season:
1t will have been noticed that the con-
struction of each cup defender has cost
infinitely more than its predecessor. The
fact is the Herreshoffs have charged sew
eral thousands of dollars for each minute
of extra speed. Following those de-
auctions the Constitution has unquestion-
ably cost not cent less than 5000, 600 to
build. She has large tender, the
steamboat Mount Hope, and a crew OF
sixty-eight men. She has three or four
suits of sails, extra spars and the like
and she will 60 into drydock before the
Cup IoOCos OuVoiuC Va Viz pHVoSooo cPSs.s
on her construction she will cost the
Belmont syndicate about $4,000. Then
there is the cost of her trial horse, the
Columbia. She will carry a crew OF
forty men, each of whom will receive
$35 month in wages. That makes
| 81, 200 a month; $1,000 for the five
months she will be in commission. The
wages of Captain Barr and the first and
second mates, will aggregate for those
five months, $1,000; the tender will cost
$500. Uniforms for the men have
already resulted in an expenditure OF
| 81 900, and there is the cost of feeding
them to be considered. This makes
$25, 900 and her sails and spars and over,
hauling and other particulars will easily
cost another $4,000. 1t will thus be
seen that, all in all, $S50,000 is a con,
sentative estimate of the cost of defend
ing the cup this year.-Lawrence Perry,
in Leslie's Monthly.

OUR GREATEST ENEMY.


The greatest enemy to our general
health Is a neglected cough. 1t is
dangerous to allow a cough to run; by
80 doing you put yourself in condition
for consumption to take firm hold
upon you. Ninety-nine per cent Of the
cases of consumption are caused by a
neglected cough. Statistics prove it.
When the cough first commences is
the time to stop it. Bauer's Instant
Cough Cure is q guaranteed cure for
coughs, colds, bronchitis, influenza,
grippe, whooping cough and all throat
and lung troubles. It guaranteed to
cure or your money will be refunded.
The enormous sale of Bauer's Instant
Cough Cure is positive proof that 1t
cures or the people would not buy it.

kilograms are no longer up to date in
the United States, and few busy men
ever use a pen except to sign their

one perpetual whirl of telephones,
