Covering Furniture.

When you decide to make your old
furniture look like new, better begin
with common chair and some cheap
material; then. il you fail. the result
will not be disastrous. Proceed as fol
lows: Over the cushion Of your chair
pin piece of thin tough paper, and
cut out an exact pattern, carefully
marking all the plaits and little hicks
required to make the cover lie smooth
and even. Lay this fiat on your ma
terial. which must be cut out exactly
like 1t; then. carefully rip Off the gimp
of the chair, brush the cushion, and
with benzine, remove any stain there
may be. If you do not do this, you may
see 1t reappear through the new cover.
Pin on the new cover, taking care to
get 1t exactly In place; then nail 1t on
carefully with tiny furniture lacks. and
finish with gimp stitched firmly all
around to hide the rough edges. If the
seat Is buttoned down instead Of being
quite plain, 1t Is more troublesome. The
work must be done in one or the other
Of the following ways: Remove the
buttons and fasten on the cover (Which
must be cut larger than If 1t were put

them in place. Or lay your material

GOVERNMENT Offices.
The precautions taken to insure uni.
formity in the cumming are the most
interesting part Of the work. Each
morning when the wOrkmen report for
duty they get series of blanks, which
they are to ill out during the day as
their work progresses. The govern
ment keeps a most careful account Of
every ounce Of gum given them, and
of every sheet Of stamps they handle.
The system Is an absolute check on the
stamp sheets, but was designed to in
gum in proportion to the stamp sheets.
When they start work In the MORN
ing each of the men Is charged with
1000 sheets of stamps and twenty-six
pounds Of gum. He must spread that
amount Of gum over the given number
exact scientific calculations have de-
termined the proportion Of gum and
paper. Rigid and continuous inspec-
ton and the keeping Of running &C.
count with each operator In the gum
ming room make it almost impossible
to neglect any sheet or to dispose Of
the gum except by spreading 1t with
absolute uniformity over the sheets.
The little watts which hang over the
rollers contain delicate instruments
which show the temperature at which
the gum is kept and its specific gray.

Miss Morley Of Winton Center had
never been twenty miles from her ma
tive village, and had never INDUCED

"A weekly sheet which gives a

dignity, when frivolous summer resi-
dent offered the second reading of her
New York daily paper. 1.-The records
Of crime are most dista steful to me,

There came day, however, when
only a timely explanation prevented
Miss Morley from changing the habit
of lifetime. She had been one of a
social gathering at the house of the
frivolous summer resident, and there
she had seen Chicago banker and his
wife,
"They were fashionable, worldly ap-
pearing people," said Miss Morley. in
describing the party to the minister's
wife, who had been kept at home by
illness, but I presume am too quick
to judge by the outward seeming, for
l learned that she is the president Of Il

examples Of men afflicted with albin-
ism, but 1t Is among the black race
that 1t Is most frequently found.
The white albino has a skin Of pc
culiar pallor, hemp colored hair, Il
rose colored iris, and a red pupil,
while the negro afflicted with albin-
ism possesses skin which varies In
appearance. in certain cases being
white as milk; in others it resembles
wax, or 1t may have a corpse-like
tint. Certain albino negroes have pale
blond hair, others have head COW
ering of yellow or it may happen that
the tint Is that Of orange or even red.
In the animal kingdom many species
contain abnormal individuals OF the
class under discussion. Gadeou Of
Kerville, citing seventy-nine mammals,
including horses, rabbits and mice,
among whom there has been observed
complete albinism. Among birds the
examples are numerous without being
very common, and here we should say
that the white blackbrd is no inven-
tion any more than the white starl-
ing. Reptiles and batrachians present
many cases Of albinism and | have
myself observed In fishpond many
cases of complete albinism among the
fish, carp and other inhabitants of the
place.
Albinism also involves great num-
Der Of vegetables and takes DIFF
ferent form, according to whether it
affects the leaves or the carOlla,' a
fact which has made possible the OBJ
tanning Of many Of the monstrosities
utilized in the ornamentatiOn Of our
gardens. l here refer to varlegated
leaves where the chlOrOphy has dis
appeared in streaks giving place to
tints which vary between white, yell
low, red and other varieties Of the
same shades. Plants Of this sort
easily multiply by slips or CRAFTS, but
they never give subjects similar to
themselves when the propagation Is
made by sowing, although the con-
trary is produced when the corolla
Is afflicted with alblnism. On the
other hand, certain fruits, the rasp
berry, strawberry and gooseberry.
produces cases Of albnism.
1t is only natural to suppose that
there is some analogy between anemia
in animals and the phenomenon of al
binlsm, between the anemia of vege-
tables and the manifestations Of al
binism among these growths. The
fact is, however, that there is nothing
Of this sort present. for whereas ami
mails or plants which are anemic are
cured by giving them iron in suitable
form. compositing. with an iron base
are without effect, with the attempt
is made to give the skin, the leaves
or the petals Of flowers that coloration
which albinism has caused them to
lose.-E Henroit in Public Opinion.

Uncle Jirn's Bear Story.


You're as cross as a BEAR" said Bess

cross to members of their own fam
ily," he said. Now, l knew a bear

Jim, but 1 used to- go hunting them

was out with a hunting party and we
saw right straight in front Of us
what do you suppose?"
"A real bear" gasped the children
in concert.
Yes: a real mother bear and her lit
tie son. The dogs started after them
and the mother bear began to run, but
the little baby son couldn't run as
fast as she did, and the dogs were
gaining on him, so what do you sup
pose the mother bear did? Leave her
little son behind? No. sir-ee-ee. She
picked the baby bear UP on her stout
nose and tossed him way ahead; then
she ran fast and caught up to him and
gave him another boost that sent him
flying through the air. She kept this
up for mile and half. Then she
was too tired to go any farther and
the dogs surrounded her. Then she
sat upon her launches, took the baby
In her hind paws and fought the dogs
Off with her fore paws. And how she
did roar!"
Bess shuddered.
you could hear her miles away.
She never forgot her baby; kept guard
ing him all the time. When the mother
was shot the baby cub jumped on
her dead body and tried to fight off
the dogs with his little baby paws.
That's the way the bears stand by
each other Sometimes l think they
love each other better than brothers
and sisters. Hey. Bess, what are you
crying about? guess l won't tell
you any more bear stories If that is
the way It makes you feel"
Billy" sobbed Bess. you're as
good-as good as bear"
Then, says the writer in the New
York Tribune, they all laughed to-
gether and forgot what they had been
cross about.

A Good Manager.

In the first biography Of Jonathan
Edwards, who was born two hundred
years ago the fifth of this month, the
writer says that Edwards kept him
self quite free from worldly cares. The
record reads as follows:
He gave himself wholly to the Work
Of the Ministry, and entangled not
himself with the Affairs of this Life,
He was less acquainted with most Of
his temporal Affairs than many Of his
Neighbours; and seldom knew when
and by whom his Forage for Winter
was gathered in, or how many milk
Kline he had; or whence his Table wa
furnished.
He left the particular Oversight and
Direction Of the temporal concerns Of
his Family, almost entirely to Mrs.
Edwards; who was better able than
most Of her Sex to take the whole Care
Of them OH her Hands.
She was good economist, manag.
ing her household affairs with discre.
ton; in which she was laborious and
dlligent. She was very careful that
nothing should be wasted and lost. She
had an excellent way Of managing her
children, she knew how to make them
regard and obey her cheerfully. She
need speak but once; murmurinR and
answering again was not known amona

Ho IN keeping vs.. Housekeeping.


The truest homes are often i'll
houses not especially well kept, where
the comfort and happiness of the in
mates, rather than extreme tidiness
and the preservation Of the furniture Is
first consulted. The object OF the
home is to be the center. the pivot on
which the family life turns. The first
requisite IL to make 1t so attractive
that none Of it's members shall care to
finger long outside its limits. All leglt-
Innate means should be employed TO
This end and no effort spared that can
contribute to this purpose. There are
many houses called homes, kept with
such waxy neatness by painsAklng,
anxious women, that are so Oppress-
i've in their nicely as to exclude all
home feeling from their spotless pre-
cincts. The very name OF home IS
synonymous with personal freedom
and relaxation from care; solid com
fort. But neither Of these can be felt
where such mania for external clean
uness pervades the household as to
render everything else subservlent
thereto. Many housewives, If they see
speck on floor or wall, or bit OF
thread or paper on the floor, rush at
1t as IL 1t We're the seed Of pest1lence
which must be removed on the instant
Their temper depends upon their main
tenance of perfect purity and order
If there be any failure on their part
1T Otv SkSv
against them. and they fall into pa
thetic despair and can hardly be lifted
out. They do not see that cheerfulness
Is more needful to home than all the
spOtlessness that ever shOne. Their
disposition to wage war upon macu-
iateness Of any sort Increases until
they become slaves Of the broom and
the dust pan. Neatness Is one thing.
and a state Of perpetual house cleaning
quite another.
Out Of this grows by degrees the
feeling that certain things and apart
ments are too good for daily use.
Hence, chairs and sofas are covered,
and rooms shut up, save for special
occasions, when they are permitted to
reveal their violated sacredness in a
manner that mars every pretense Of
hospitality. Nothing should be bought
which is considered too fine for the
fullest domestic appropria ton Far
better IL the plainest furniture on
which the children can climb than sat
in and damask, which must be viewed
with reverence. When anything is re-
served or secluded. to disguise the fact
Is extremely different. A chilly air
wraps 1t round. and the repulsion Of
strangeness is experienced by the most
insensible.
Home Is not a name, nor a form. nor
a routine. 1t Is a spirit, a presence. a
principle. Material and method will
not and cannot make 1t. 1t must get
Its light and sweetness from those who
inhabit 1t. from flowers and sunshine.
from the sympathetic natures which.
In their exercise Of sympathy, can lay
aside the tyranny Of the broom and
the awful duty Of endless scrubbing.-

and we have further mention of the
condition In Pliny. 1t was only at the
end Of the seventeenth century, how
ever, that the characteristics Of this

affection which up to that time had
been nsidered-eToneously it Is true
as condition of the skin. More
recently Sachs-an albino and at the
same time a scientist-showed that
the hair of albinos contained less iron
than that Of individuals of normal
constitution. Baudrimont further prov
ed that the iron found in the hair
came exclusively from Elementary
granulations which have their seat in
the deep mucus layers. Thus the con-
dition under discussion is solely
caused by the complete or partial alb
sence of iron in the lower bed of the
