CONDENSED STORIES.
hohn Habberton's Prank and Its Last.
ing Effects.

John Habberton, the author of
"Hclen's Babies" told at a dinner
party recently an interesting story.
Il am" he began, "a cousin of the
New York publishing family of the
Hampers, and | worked for the Har-
pers in my youth, learning with
them the printing business. Well,
one day they gave me the manu-
script of "a book Of Ruskin to set
up. 1t was The Seven Lamps of
Architecture or The Stones of
Venice | think. At any rate it
contained a long passage in praise
of the work done in the world by
the great ARTISTRY the poets, the
sculptors, the musicians, the archi-
tects, the painters, and so on-and
I, for mischief, changed one word in
tins passage. substituted for
painters printers
"Of course | thought the proof
reader would catch the error. My
idea was that we should all have a
little laugh at Ruskin's eulogy of
the printer along with such fine fell
lows as the musician and the poet
and that then the types should be
set right again. But somehow my
willful blunder missed the proof
readers eye, and in that and every
following edition for many years it
appeared; hence thousands of Amer
leans have admired the perception
and the originality Of Ruskin in
praising so highly the work of the
humble printer, thanks to Inc. /,
by the way, dids't discover how this
error had endured till. recently. /
took up the volume, saw printer
where painter should have been,
and the memory OF that youthful
prank of mine came back to me. |
wrote Immediately to one of my Har-
per cousins, confessing all. His an
swer was letter of three words
'You young rascalH | am not pre-
cisely a young rascal either" Mr..
Habberton concluded, smoothing
his gray hair.

For the trimmings ! would select
either red, orange, pink or dark
blue, but Of course one could use a
fayorite color. l will begin with the
Ibed, as that Is the most prominent
part of the room For pillowshams
take two pieces of the paper, each
three feet long, and Join together by
overlapping edges and sewing care
fully together. Now take another
piece, four feet long, and cut in two
lengthwise. Carefully sew these
two pieces together, end to end, and
then run on to the body part, gath
ering little as you go. Always
overlap edges when sewing, for the
work will not be neat if YOU do not.
When this is finished, sew on to all
seams common feather edge braid.
This gives a pretty finish and also
hides all seams. This will complete
the shams. Now for the bedsprcad.
Take five strips five feet long and
sew together lengthwise. Finish the
seams with the braid and the end Of
the spread with rutlles of the paper
and finish with the braid. Now for
the bureau cover. Take a piece one
and a half yards long and finish
ends with ruffles and braid. A
splasher may be made by taking one
yard of the paper and carefully turn
ing the ends over and sewing the
finish with the braid.
Curtains are quite difficult to
make, hut with a little pains it can
be accomplished Take a piece sew
en- feet long and turn ends and
finish with the braid, and then put
narrow ruiile Of paper down the
front and around the bottom edges
and bind with braid. This is one
long curtain, and the opposite one is
to be made the same, but you must
be very careful about putting the
rutlle on or you will get it wrong

Covers For Polished Tahles.

If the summer coverings for pol
ished tables are made at home, it
should be remembered that a close
fitting cover of some soft fabric Of
the flannel variety should first be
fitted over the polished top and cor
ners. The domett flannel or white
outing flannel is suitable for the
purpose. This prevents the stiit
holland from scratching the sur
face, as might otherwise be the case.
The high finish of the piano top
needs similar protection.

Perfumed Linen,

Linen should be keptin perfumed
drawers. Sachets containing the
housewives favoritc scent scattered
about the drawer will impart the
perfume. Aromatic shayings, leaves
and flowers sewed up in bags may
be substituted for the sachets. Ce-
dar sh9yings, cussia buds, powdered
sassafras, rose leaves, leaves Of the

and sweet yerbcna are all delicious
in odor. 4 few drops of perfume on
sheets of white blotting paper will
impart a fragrance to linen.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES,
Fsroeious Jack ard the Little Girl
Who 10. Il Animals.

A girl Of fourteen was sent to the
butchers to purchase meat for din
ncr. The butcher was out, but be-
hind the meat block was a great
tawny IT. Bernard dog doing and
swapping at the occasional fly that
disturbed his dreams. "Oh, you
beautiful old doggie! What a dar-
ling you are" exclaimed the girl,
and IN another moment she was
kneeling by him with her hand on
his lion head and her yellow braids
half buried in his brown coat. The
dog opened his sleepy eyes, licked
her other hand and wngged his tail,
thereby signifying that, though he
had not previously had the pleasure
Of her acquaintance, he considered
her very nice girl indeed.
Looking up, the little maiden saw
the butcher standing in the door
His face was white as death. For
Gods sake, keep still" he cried.
"Come here, jack he added stern
ly to the dog, and in moment he
had him by the chain. 81 wouldn't
have taken that risk for all that
possess" he said aftcrward to the
child's father. ole was left to mind
the till, and he would have torn any
one else limb from limb. | cannot
understand it" "But do" replied
the girl. 81 love animals and am
not afraid of them" Maybe that is
the reason why Jack and the young
heroine are the best of friends even
unto this day.-New York News.
