TO-THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue of the FREIE
PREssE FUER TExAs' has po-
sitively the largest circulation
of all German papers published
In the State of Texas.
1t has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 post-ofices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
It circulates from Galveston
to Denison, from Marshall to El
Paso and of course mainly in
the thickly populated. central
and southwestern parts Of the
state.
Two travelling men and our
very active local agents are con
tlnuously adding new sub
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the FREE PREssE FUER TEXAS
claims to be the best adver-
Using medium in the State of
Texas, where it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulation.

Jewelry of the most original kind is
occupying the attention of Paris: queer.
shaped rings and brooches are being
eagerly sought after, and the old fash.
ioned gold filigree work promises to
be in great favor Among the most
unique designs Is a plaque de cou
shaped to the neck about four inches
long and one and half wide. 1t is of
gold filigree work, rather open spaced,
the interstices being filed in with
strange translucid enamel exactly the
shade of green sea water. Incrusted
upon this are two weird goblin like
fish-one dark green. the other pale
violet-their scales outlined in clois-
some gold. the eyes and the head being
studded with irregular shaped pieces
of pearls. opals and chrysoprases.
There are several hair combs of won
derful design also. One is formed Of
two dull silver storks, craning their
necks upward around a large slab OF
mother.o' pearl, taken from the inner
part of the oyster shell, and called a
couiflure de perle in which three incip
teeth of the comb are of carved ivory.
Another ivory comb has a hydra ris
ing angrily in golden spray of seven
snakes heads.

angels with folded or outstretched

chrysoprase eyes. There is thistle

are buckles formed of huge flamin-

1--WE are furnishing our sitting room
/ on the gowithoutsystem plan," said
careful young housekeeper. This
is better than any hire or purchase
system yet invented
The sitting room Is the room be-
tween Our small drawing room and the
still smaller kitchen, and II must be
used as both dining room and our
workshop. The centre of the floor Is
covered with square of linoleum,
and there is deep border of staining
round the rest of the floor. The stain
Is of rich mahogany color. II is eff
fective. serviceable and cheap. Here
Is the recipe: One pint of the cheap
est varnish, about nickel's worth of
burnt sienna. and about a nickel's
worth of brown lumber. Mix the ST.

and paint evenly with a rather large

I'VE got two good boxes from the
grocer's. 80 inches long. 20 inches wide
and 16 inches deep.
Jack screw ed these two boxes to-
gether lengthways and hinged on
strong lids.
Then made two mattresses to fit
the top.
First made what might be called a
model mattress about six inches long,
four inches wide and two inches deep.
This is of strong ticking stuffed with

through with a darning needle and
strong thread.
"The miniature mattress was then
covered with remnant of pink bro
cade. the edges bound with narrow
pink ribbon, and little tufts of thick
floss silk at regular intervals, as on a
real mattress. Here had a charming
and novel pincushion. that is also very
useful.

go with a packing needle and fine
twine. taking care to finish off the
stitches securely.

through the top. which Is caught on

To Avoid the FaiIings of Old Age.

Sir James Paget is very interest
ing in his description of the way in
which the old man should obtain self
knowledge of his growing incapacities
by keeping watch over the altered char.
acter of some of his acts, over the
half mile less which he can accomplish
In an hour. over the gradual curtail-
ment Of the range in both directions
of his voice and over the way in which
he should seek to adapt his efforts to
his failing powers. Such self-observa-
ton might perhaps be trusted to AFFORD
immunity from some of what may per-
haps be called the vices of old age
the one story repeated an uncountable
number of times. the intellect so i'm
bedded in a grove that it cannot be
extricated by the advent Of new know
ledge. Sir Andrew Clark was accus-
toned to define old age as the period
of life at which a man no longer ad-
justed himself to his enyironment.-

The original is made OF fine white
