the honor of holding the national con-

ought to actively cooperate with Mis-
souri, in order to do all that can be done
to secure that great favor for the west.
Preparation should be made for this

when the trial comes on. With this end
in view we the undersigned prohibition

attend a prohibition conference TO be

September 16, 1908, at which time we de-

square petals. Then curl the square
corners by passing them between the
thumb and the blade of the scissors.
Fold this strip around the finger until
it is in bud shaped roll and fasten
at the base with a needle and thread,
the same as the rose. Thread the wire
for the stem in a stout needle and sew
it through the base of the bud. Fasten
firmly by twisting it a number of times.
1t can then be wound with green paper
or rubber stems. calyx and leaves can
be purchased in any city. If neces-
sary. bygone artificial roses may be
rified for the purpose In this way a
shade as artistic as any you could buy
may be manufactured at home and
makes really fascinating work besides
strip of asbestus paper two or three
inches deep should be placed inside
the top of the shade to prevent it from
being scorched and to avoid its catch
ing fire.
Shades of plain gathered silk of any
color. with a valance of delicate lace
and ribbon decoration, are also very
pretty, while one often sees chenille
and bead fringes in place of the lace
The light shining through a fringe of
glass beads has a bright and pleasing
effect Japanese shades of rice paper
with their broad, artistic designs in
rushes and flags. introducing just the
right combination of greens, blues and
yellows, with a dash of red, are very
artistic.
I lately saw a globe shaped shade In
heavy, dull green cathedral glass. 1t
was an immense thing about a foot
and a half in diameter, set together
like a stained glass window, with
wrought iron bands and partitions.
Covering one side of it was an immense
glass spider, whose wrought iron legs
extended far around the globe. His
eyes were two disks of red glass an inch
in diameter. protruding from a blue
glass head, which, as well as his blue
glass body, larger than the biggest
tarantula, was inclosed in a metal rim.
and by this means raised somewhat
from the globe. 1t had rather a creepy
look about it, but l could imagine that
when the light shone through it might
have a very striking effect
1t may not be generally known that
some of the most beautiful lamps we
have are of domestic manufacture. and
a number of them are no less expensive
than some of the imported lamps. One
large lamp. designed and made by an
eastern firm. was purchased by Colonel
William F. Cody buffalo BID for the
sum of $3.50. This lamp is decorated
with a picture of its celebrated pur-
sign Some of the art pottery lamps
made in this country are as costly
as they are beautiful and as decorative
as the choicest vases.

eter, should form the next six, and two
inches in diameter for the inner petals
This will make eighteen rows of petals
in all. Small wire. which may be
bought for this purpose, must be push
ed through a hole in the middle of these
circular petal patterns to form the
stem. The wire should be three or
four inches long and should be twisted
around wisp of the tissue paper
placed midway of its length, the twisted
ends which form the stem being then
passed through the hole in the center of
the pattern. This will serve as a center
to the rose. Now, holding the wire stem,
press the papers up firmly together and
crush the whole rose in the hand until
sufficient crinkle is obtained in the
petals Then. holding the rose still
crushed in the hand. fasten firmly with
a needle and thread, sewing through
and through just about the wire. Next
spread out and arrange the petals. They
are then ready to go on the shade.

IRON Is DROPPING.
Prices Are Showing a Tendency to
Decline.

Cleveland. o., Sept. 1O.-The Iron Trade
Review, this week, says:
The iron trade still presents strong
contrasts to the high pressure condi-
tions of 1902, yet the volume of business
will compare favcrably with what have
been rated ordinary times. Resistance to
any pressure that would carry prices
measurably below the present level is
apparent in both pig iron and finished
material, yet there is no positive devel-
opment to give assurance that the pres
ent level can be maintained. At present,
central western furnaces are quoting
under the $11.75 Birmingham basis for
No foundry, sales al Pittsburg being
reported at $15.S5 which would mean
$11 al furnace for southern competitors.
This may have given rise to the reports
of $11 southern iron. No such sales can
be traced, however, though 1900 tons IF
southern iron has been bought in The
week by the leading agricultural ma
chinery interests, and 2,300 tons by an
Ohio castiron pipe foundry, on basis
equivalent to S11.50 Birmingham. Gray
forge iron has declined further and
Pittsburg sales are reported at SIS.
Steel has been sold by independent
producers below the $27 Pittsburg basis
established by the pool and a meeting
of the steel billet association is expected
in the near future to consider prices.

Each color has so many charms pc
