The aBiscuItv Quilt.

Biscuit" quilts are hardly new,
but they seem to have come into ia
gor again and are treated-as the
most recent-revival of the silk patch
work quilt. To make one cut pieces
of muslin for lining three inches
square and silk patches four inches
square. Make loose 'sbiscuitn of
cotton batting, attach it to the mus
lin and fasten the silk patch over
this, making small plait at each
side. The result is a pulled square.
The biscuits are sewed closely to-
gether, so that none of the muslin
shows, and it is well to join them in
sections about two feet square for
convenience in handling. By ar
ranging the colors carefully in these
squares and then joining them with
regard for harmony a good effect is
secured. When all the sections are
joined, the quilt must be lined and
bound. Sofa pillows are made of
this biscuit" design.

An obsoIate Idea.

.sMy DEAR" said the gentleman
with gold trimmed glasses, "can you
recite Mary Had a Little Lamb?' -
NO." answered the little girl,
who also wore gold trimmed glasses.
"T'he poem has little or no literary
value, and its spirit is contrary to
our modern institutions. Since the
organization-of the meat trust Mary
would be lucky to get chop without
assuming proprietorship of the en-.
tire animal. Wv Washington Star.

pENaLTY OF eREATNEss.

One of Mark Twain's biggest
jokes was played ON his daughters,
and at Elmira it still stands as
much of a joke as when it was first
perpetrated. Early in his literary
career, says u writer in the Boston
Transcript, Mr.. Clemens made his
home in Elmira, and it was in that
city that his daughters were born.
No father was ever more proud Of
similar events, and Mr. Clemens de-
cided that they should be commem-
GRATED in a lasting and substantial
way. So he erected handsome stone
watering troughs, costing several
hundred dollars each, in the vicinity
of his pretty summer home, Quarry
Farm, and named each after a
daughter, the name and date of
birth being artistically cut in front
of the troughs in letters six inches
high.
When the Misses Clemens were
tots, they did not mind the public
ity, but now that they have grown
up and reached manageable age
1t is causing them some embarrass-
ment. But their father laughs and
tells them that is one of the penal
ties of being daughters of humor-
ist.

a erewsome Souvenir.

Curious are the manifestations of
the souvenir microbe. A business
man of New York wears on his
watch chain a locket in which are a
common button and two slivers of
wood. The wood was cut from the
floor on which President Mckinley
stood when he was shot, and the
button was cut from the waistcoat
of one of the men who helped over
power the assassin. This would
seem to be the limit in souvenir col
lecting.-New York Press.

a number of jokers at Monte
Carlo a few nights ago, having won
in private game all the money in
the possession of comrade. pro
ceeded to lose to him small sum
and pay him with rather clever
counterfeit note The loser had the
note changed in all good faith, went
to the public tables and won a small
fortune before the same night was
over.

Time crlbblno,.

What is called stime cribbing'' is
a common practice in English fac.
tories. 1t consists in running the
machinery several minutes beyond
the legal time limit. An inspector
remarks that "five minutes cribbed
at each starting and stopping time
amount to a total of fourteen days
of ten hours per annum, and this
amount is practically stolen from
those workers who are paid weekly
wages" The fine for violating the
law is so small ($2) that the factory
owners laugh at it.

A Novel Tea rahIe

A curious tea cabinet has lately
been invented by designer which
contains two deep drawers in which
the tea things could be stored away
when not in use. Two notices are
inlaid in wood at either side-
There's many slip 'twixt the cur,
and the lip" and ''Yzou can't eat
your cake and have it. A bachelor
host would find this table useful for
keeping teacups in, but a hostess
would probably utilize the drawers
for biscuits and cakes.

Exeeutioner Executed.

The official executioner of Tokyo
died recently. His death was curl
Gus in itself and, considering his
profession, was little short of re-
-markable. He was crossing rail
way track near Tokyo when he was
rtn down by fast express. The
body was found by the track with
the head as neatly decapitated as
any which had been cut off by the
official executioner himself. Other
wise there was not mark on his
body.

A Plano cover.

Covers of oriental weave come for
the backs of upright pianos, but
they are by no means Inexpensive.
An experimenting housekeeper who
wished but could not afford one of
these bought as substitute and at
much less cost one japanese por-
there. This was too long and too
narrow, but piece taken from the
bottom was fitted at the side, and a
second piece was added at the top
to go over the lid of the piano. i
pattern in shades of god in striped
effect was chosen, which lent itself
readily to the pieeing scheme, and
the new cover is extremely effective.

Helmet q Anefent Amerieans.

Greed is responsible for the loss
of some priceless objects that were
found in ancient shafts in little
island off the coast of Ecuador that
would no doubt have cast valuable
light on TIE high stage Of ciyiliza-
ton reached by the prehistoric in
habitants of Ecuador and Colombia.
The objects consisted of many small
articles of iewelry and two mag
nificent solid gold helmets. The
latter were fortunately rescued from
the smelling pot in time, but almost
all the rest of the precious orna-
meIlts were lost to science. The
helmets are beautifully made aud
richly ornamented, showing not
only an advanced condition of In
dustrial art, but a high state Of
decorative art.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
The Refreshing and Invisorating SAT-
Bath at Home.

Bath at Home.
If you cannot have the ocean, be
content with the bathtub.
Try a warm salt bath at home,
say after you have come from
long, hot shopping expedition or
from travelling IN the tram or any
time when You feel the need Of
freshening up a bit. Away from
the seashore very simple substi-
tute for sea water is q cup Of rock
salt dissolved in warm water and
added TO the bath. When the salt
irritates the skin, take a warm bath
and sponge off with a mixture Of
violet or lavender water and7aIcohol,
about half and half, and rub brisk
" with a friction towel Such
method prevents the exhaustion and
dangers of cold which follow awarm
bath.
Sea salt is sold in the shopa.
1t comes in bags of about ten
pounds, which cost ten cents each.
Boxes of perfumed bath saltshold
ing about two and a half pounds
each are 10 cents. This can be used
in cold, tepid or warm water. 1t is
perfnned with lavender and, it Is
said, will impart a fragrant odor
to the water which is retained after
using.
Among the tonic qualities as.
cribed to it are tthat it strengthens
the nerves, renews vitality, pnri6es
the blood and renders the SKIN
smooth and transparent"
A more expensive perfnmed bath
salt comes put up in bottles at 25
cents. This is said to combine the
tonic properties of sea salt with the
odor of woodland yiolets. Two or
three tablespoonfuls of the salt are
sprinlled in the bath. When the
salt dissolves, the bath will have
much of the invigorating properties
of salt water plunge. A few grains
of the salt thrown into the basin
impart delightful fragrance.

more than 1900 miles of operated

lnsanity sad . ID lnfeetions.

The Medicinische Rundschau pub
fishes an article by lunacy expert
Rho maintains that insanity is in
fictitious.
The writer cites a number of
cases which have come under his
notice. One of the most striking of
these was case in which husband
became insane two years after his
wife was pronounced lunatic.
There was no insanity in his family,
and the doctors could find no other
reason for his mental weakness than
the continual association with his
insane wife.
When his wife was removed to an
asylum, he recovered, but as soon
as she was released and returned
horne he relapsed into insanity
again. This occurred three times
Finally the wife was sent perma,
nently- to an asylum, and since then
his recovery has been complete

for many years in the bathroom of
the house at salaries of $720 each per
annum. w. w. Wood, a white man,
was placed on the roll for four
months in 1898, taking the place of
William for two months and of Rob-
ert for two months. The committee
reported that it had been unable TO
learn that Wood ever went into the
bathroom during the time he re-
ceived $24o from the Richardson's,
