AN INDIA SEAT.
Convenient For nm OGd Corner and
Easy to Make.

Easy to Make.
An India seat is convenient fer an
odd corner and not difficult 10 manu-
facture. One should select hard, fine,
close grained wood, hard maple being
very satisfactory for this purpose. The
four corner posts are turned from three
inch stuff averaging two inches when
done, and they should be sixteen and
half inches high. Seven inches from the
top, where the leg is largest, insert
smooth, round pieces of wood twenty
one inches long and glue them firmly
in place. Next, unite the four legs by
rounds fourteen inches long fastened
firmly in place. Into these rounds, at
the ends, insert three short rounds,
each seven inches long. Place one in
the center and the others at distance
of two inches on either side. Glue the
tops into a similar round of wood. EX-
anime chair where the rounds are set
in, and you will understand how this
framework is put together BY study
ing the illustration you will notice that
the top rail for the front and back is
followed so that the middle is two
inches lower than the ends. The three
other short rails are fastened in place
exactly like that just described. Head
less nails, or brads, as they are some
times called should be used, as well as
the glue. to hold the parts together.
Stain the framework and varnish it. or
varnish it without staining if you pre-
fer.

carpeting or stout cloth, using uphol-

1t looks as if 1902 will, as far as the
beef market is concerned, be similar to
1882. During the last named year cat
tie sold as high as $3.50. The average
price for the whole year was $6.25. In
1882 corn sold as high as 80 cents In
July. Thus it will be seen that 1882
was n high year for corn as well as cat
tie. The indications are that the ex-
perience of 1882 will be repeated just
twenty years later.

Every American soldier who dies or
gets killed in the Philippine contest
dies martyr to the greed and avarice
of commercial Repubicanism in this
country. The boys in the field are
loyal. true, faithful and patriotic, but
the star chamber proceedings of the
Republican spectators that induced,
or rather commanded, the lamented
Mckinley to get this country in it's
present pitiable plight, if examined
into with the calcium light of truth
and righteousness, would blanche the
cheek of every American citizen with
shame. No wonder national Re-
publican convention would hiss out a
resolution expressing sympathy with
the struggling Boer republic.-Ramsey

She Liked Jelly,

One day little girl three years old,
whose mother was busy putting up
jelly, asked her mother for a piece of
bread and jelly, but as it was nearly
dinner time her mamma said she had
better wait. Helen didn't like this, so
she went out on the porch and sang
to the chorus of Coon, coon, coon,"
which she had lately learned:
Jelly, jelly. jelly, I wish had some jelly;
Jelly, jelly, jelly. I'd like to have some
jelly.
Jelly, jelly, jelly, for morning, night or
noon.
I'd rather have some jelly than a coon.

A teacher had among her scholars a
boy named Johnny Green, who in pre-
pairing his spelling lesson was wicked
enough to study only the words that
would come" to him.
One day one of the boys of the class
was absent. but Johnny was not aware
of this until he came into the class.
The spelling then was done orally, and
a strange word was given to Johnny.
'Please. teacher" he said, that amt
my word; that's Willie Browns word,
and he amt here today"

Letter 10 W. 6. T. U. Corresponding
Secretaries.

Dear Sisters The avowed pol
icy Of the w. c. T. U. is to bring
every possible force into action for
the annihilation OF the rum curse.
This policy is worked out through
the department plan. AT the great
convention at Fl. Worth nearly ev-
ery superintendent reported the
past year the most suce esAful in the
history Of our organization. We
want to say that for Indiana next
fall, ard we can if every woman will
do her duty. Our State superin-
tendents stand ready with literature,
plans and Suggestions to help every
woman who is working along her
line; but very, very often she is un-
able to render any assistance, be-
cause some one has failed to turn Z
little key and open the way for her.
That some one is corresponding
secretary. Why? Because it is the
duty OF the local to send the names
and addresses Of superintendents to
the county corresponding secretary,
and it is the duty Of the county cor
responding secretary to send them
to the State superintendents. This
lis a little thing to do but it means
mush. A pebble will turn the
course OF stream just beginning te
form. As your sister secretary
desire that we shall make our force
felt in Indiana this year, turning
great flood tide against our enemy
and not diver,ing even a tiny
stream. Loyalty yours,
Mrs. HATTIE w. BRAND,
State Cor. Sec'y.

addressed ITO All Civilized Ma
tions," asking the prohibition, by
treaties and laws, Of the sale OF in

ing IN favor vf action to prohibit the
