PRETTY BEDsPREADs.
How to Make an Artistic COverIet
 with Little Work and , Small Expense.

For the busy housewife who has taste but no time for embroidery, yet who likes to have pretty bedspreads, toilet covers, screens, etc., in her bed- rooms, here are few suggestion that may prove useful, says the New York Tribune: To make an extremely pret- ty bedspread, with very little work, take new linen sheet, and with a dim ner plate and small dessert plate or saucer make intersected circles with a hard lead pencil at regular intervals over the spread. When this is done the founda tion lines are made for pretty design of wreaths on which it is easy to draw flowers or leaves. One wreath of wild roses and the other of daisies has good effect. The smaller circle of green leaves and the larger of any simple flower form is another idea. When the flowers have been sketched, stain them the color desired with 8 fast dye, There are a number of dyes that will stand careful washing, violet ink, for instance, or red ink, which makes a pretty pink. Information about others can be obtained from chemist. After the designs have been stained, outline them with single zephyr worsted. which washes admir- ably. Wash silk is pretty and dainty, but it is not so effective and takes more tirae. The easiest outline stitch is to sew around the design with simple running" and then going overt again catch eachgstitch in over and over fash ion; this gives rope effect which looks we'll. A bureau cover to match the spread, madein the same way, with smaller circles, would be decorat tive. and panels for a screen look effective done in this way.

 After a stern lecture, accompanied by not very gentle brushing of plas- ter from the heads of the repentants, they were consigned to separate rooms for an hour of solitude in which to think over their childish sins.
 This hour, however, had not been spent in any such way by young Ber- tram, When the time for his release arrived his fond parent, on opening the door, stood aghast at the spectacle of his young hopeful gyrating about the room entirely nude. and after the man ner of young colt.
 "Oh, papa" he exclaimed, entirely forgetting, that he had been a prisoner because of previous mischief, "I'm having such a beautiful time playing I'm the wild zebra you read about last night.'
 And zebra-fied, indeed, he appeared. The realism had been achieved by the aid of iodine, red and black ink, which he had found in the room. With this he had painted golden brown, black and red stripes about his body, not for getting to give his face a few daubs-
 However, he never will again use this fndelible means of decoration, for he was not allowed out of the house until every mark had been obliterated, this taking several days to accomplish.

 Ofyour Druggist and Cure Them
Giant aica Crxsta1s.

The peninsula of India is famous for the excellence of it's mica deposits. On account of it's delicacy mica quickly suffers from the crushing effects of .arth movements, and the superiority of the Indian deposits is ascribed to the geologically long and perfect quiescence thatthe great peninsula has enjoyed. In the Nellore district crys- tals, or "books," of muscovite-mica have been obtained, measuring ten feet across the basal planes. Usually they are much smaller, and even in India the stability of the earth has not been suf- ficiently continuous to prevent the de- struction of large quantities of this delicate and valuable mineral.-Sci- ence.
