bag is intended may be embroidered
on one of them.
The bottom of the bag consists of
a circular piece of pasteboard four
inches and a half in diameter, and
this should be covered on the under
side by linen similar in quality to
that used in the handkerchiefc. Gath
er the bottom of the bag, and sew it
to this circle. Make lining of col
ored silk, just the size of the out
side, and tack it in place lightly
enough so that it can be easily re-
moved when you wish to wash the
bag. Run narrow ribbon, the same
COLOR as the lining, around the top of
the bag, about two inches from the
upper edge.
This little bag is not only particu-
Iarly dainty, but owing to the fact
that it can be washed frequently, is
very eable.-Girls' Companion.

ford, 81 years old and brother of the late
Governor Leland Stanford, of California, died
yesterday in New York. At one time the
deceased was a millionaire, but according to
his second wife, who survives him, he died in
absolute poverty. The early boyhood of the
late Colonel Stanford was spent in Albany
and Schenectady, but he moved to California
when the gold fever drew thousands to the
coast and became one of the first settlers Of
Sacramento. He became interested in enter
prises with the big mining men Of those days.
When his brother was elected governor Of

the title of colonel. About 80 years ago Col.
Stanford went to London, where he remained
10 years. He was promoter in England Of
various mining interests, and acquired large
fortune, which he afterwards lost in speculat-
ing in New York. Upon the death Of his
brother Colonel Stanford was left 100000,
but most of this went 10 pay his debts.

OCCASIONALLY there are movements

A NTI-SCRATcHING PATENT -Nec

ANTI-SCRATCHING PATENT. -Neces-
sity has been pronounced the mother of
invention. 1t was perhaps the necessity
of keeping his game rooster out of his
garden which caused man to invent an
anti-scratching appliance for chickens.
The affair is one of the most novel in the
patent Office and yet it is undoubtedly
very effective for the purpose for which
it was designed. 1t consists of a small
band or collar to go around his rooster
tership's leg. From this a small stick is
run back in such way as to rest on the
ground, opposite the chickens leg. One
of these go on each leg. When the roost-
er begins to scratch he raises his foot but
cannot put it down without taking step.
forward. If he persists in his efforts TO
scratch he will soon discover that the
anti-scratcher has walked him step by
step clear out OF the garden.
