CARRIE AT BERWICK.

Carrie Nation, the Kansa
saloon smasher" was in Berwick
Tuesday evening, having appeared
there with a production Of Ten
Nights in Bar room" Berwick
turned out ell masse to see her, the
audience filling the theatre from
pit to dome. She set the crowd
wild, when in the fourth act she
flew in upon the scene, and smash
ed to smithereens the bar-room and
fixtures of the Sickle and Sheaf. To
a newspaper reporter, after the
performance, she was quite talka-
tive, and among other things re-
counted the reverses with which
she has met, since starting out to
crush out the liquor traffic. Chief
among them was a months So
journ i'll Jail and fine of $500.
These experiences have not in the
least, however, chilled her ardor,
and she predicts the final triumph
of the cause, which she represents.
She also stated to the scribe that
she is just now interested in the
founding of a school for young
women, where they will be taught
how to live. 1t will be known as
an anti-corset and anti-train school,
and its graduates will have no
traius to their dress, and the use of
the corset, which she characterized
as "paralyzing will be dispensed
with.

BASKET BALL NEXT.

Basket ball is the next in order
in the way of sport, and Dr..
Aldinger is busily engaged trying
out and selecting the team that is
to represent the Normal the COM
ing season. Basket ball has be-
come craze, and is now nearly as
popular as base ball or foot ball.
The method of play is fully as ex-
citing and requires just as much
eXpertness as any other branch of
sport.
Several changes have been made
i'll the rules OF the game this sea-
son, which makes the sport even
more popular than before. Princi-
pal among the changes is the re-
quirement that after all attempts at
shooting goals from fouls the ball
must be taken to the middle of the
floor and placed in play as at the
start of game. Formerly after
shot at goal from a foul had miss
ed, the ball remained in play. The
old rule has been found weak.
Another rule gives the referee
the power to disqualify or call a
foul at any time in addition to his
former duties. This work was form
erly looked after by the umpire.

THRILLING RUNAWAY.

There was a thrilling runaway
on North Iron street Tuesday in
which the driver Fred Bower was
considerably bruised, the horse
pretty badly cut, and the wagon
completely demolished. The run
away started on Reservoir hill,
when in turning, the horse took
fright and started off at a mad gait.
The wagon was upset, and pinned
beneath the box, Bower was drag
ged for nearly hundred yards,
when the animal tore lose from the
wagon and continued on down Iron
Street. The excitement reached a
climax at the corner of Main and
Iron street, when in turning the
horse slipped, fell, and rolled into
w. H. Moore's store entrance,
striking the plate glass window with
such force that it was shattered, the
falling pieces inflicting some ugly
cuts on the horses leg. The run
and fall was apparently sufficient
to subdue the animal, and bleeding
from its wounds it got up and start
ed on a walk, but it was stopped by
Edward Leighow. The horse and
wagon belonged to Alexander Bros.
& Co.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Insects Now Have the Pull In Certain
Kinds of Decorating.

Brilliant winged insects are the
fad at present in china decoration,
and the idea of reproducing is a
pleasing variation from the flower,
figure and symbolic type Of decora-
ton that has held sway so long a
time. Not only brilliant and gauzy
winged insects appear in these de-
signs, but also such little denizens
of the sward and the small group OF
katvdids on a slender tree branch Is
the design of a vase with shadow
background of olive green. One OF
the prettiest designs shows a bar OF
music, on which the notes of the IA
miliar cry, "Katy did, Katy didn't"
appear, the words being written be-
meath the staff-a pair of katydids
sitting on a twig apparently settling
this disputed question. This design
is used on small pieces such as ash
trays or calendar frames, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Grasshoppers are utilized in some
unique decorations for milk cups
and bread and butter plates. AS
decoration pure and simple, without
any suggestion of association with
the field, as the katydid and grass,
hopper, brilliant bugs and winged
insects are considerably used now,
adays in ceramic work. A bow
shaped vase recently completed
shows a dark clouded blue back
ground over which are dragon flies
Their wings and bodies are almost
overlapped in a somewhat conven,
tional design, which shows up wei
against the dark toned background
the delicate beauty Of the dragon
flies wings appearing to special adj
vantage on the deep sapphire sur
face.
An excellent effect is produced by
a design of brilliant bugs upon
background of grayish blue luster
Bowl shaped vases decorated in thi;
way are old and pleasing addition:
to the ceramic display of the day.

IndiNidualitieS.

It's always interesting to notice
the peculiar little Municipalities Of
each house, especially in a new
neighborhood.
One is a rug house. Rugs and
mats of every description spread
themselves out generously asking to
be tread upon. Another is a tidy
house, where tides perhaps adorn
some chairs, but more often hide
those of respectable appearance.
There are so many of them they
make one wonder if but one is alot-
ted to a chair. Then they are so
very protective in the way they place
themselves between possible occu-
pant and the chair itself that stand
ing might seem rather safer. They
seem to say in decided accents,
'Take care!",
A cushion house is the contest Of
all. Cushions in chairs, on sofa and
couch and on the floor instead Of
footstools, crazy cushions in silk,
velvet, wooden, the scraps patched
on heller SHELTER and fancy stitched
with silk at the seams, cushions
with simple Bingham coverings, en-
broidered linen and canvas tops,
plain denim cushions, cushions knit
and crocheted and filled with feath-
ers, cotton OF needles of fir or pine.
The cutest made of two red bandan-
ma handkerchiefs, stitched around
inside the border, leaving that loose,
like a ruffie, not stuffed hard and
full, but containing just enough
down to render it soft and light.
They are all disable ones and coax
one to friendly chat just to look at
them.-American Agriculturist.

Easter Lilies.
From the Pilgrim.


Although the regular Bermuda lily holds
sway throughout the land as the saint
among flowers for Eastertide, the old
fashioned Gala lily is still much in evil
dence and much in favor. In the west and
middle west, where the Bermuda blossoms
cannot readily reach, its vogue is undis-
putable Southern California Is as famous
for the culture of this variety as Ber-
muda is for the other type. Unlike the
oversee lily. the Gala cannot stand much
crowding If any particular plant fails
to receive it's full quota of soil and sun
shine, it becomes at once weak, sprawl
ing affair, destitute alike of beauty and
blossoms. When we'll cared for however,
as 1t is in the many splendid hedges that
surround so frequently Pacific residences,
it is thing over which no other lily can
boast superiority
1t is possible in the near future that the
laurels of lily growing may be snatched
away from the Bermuda gentry. OF late
years, along the coast of the Carolinas and
in certain sections Of Florida the govern
ment has been quietly experimenting with
lily culture against the possibility of grow
ing them in this country. No small meas
ure of success has attended these efforts
The proper soil and a favorable climate
has been found in many localities, and If
the Department of Agriculture succeeds in
making their plants ripen simultaneously
or ahead of the oversee product the Ber-
muda monopoly will be a thing of the past
