A STUDY TABLE.

Have the carpenter make a table
three feet square of any hard wood,
with good, substantial legs; have two
drawers-one on each side-and above
them heavy leaves to pull out after the
fashion of typewriter-rests on bust
ness mems desks. These leaves rest
on the open drawer and make handy
desks for the children, as they are
sloping and not so high as the ordin-
airy table. The table should be about
thirty inches high. 1t should be built
with a lower deck, OF shelf, which may
be stocked with simple books Of refer
ence, while the drawers hold pencils,
paper, erasers and everything else the
small students need. In the evening
have a good lamp with a shade, and
turn the table over to the children. It
will pay for itself a thousand times

AN ODD PIN CUSHION.

A chestnut burr pincushion Is an
odd one, and, hanging from a bracket
gas fixture in an deliberately furnished
boudoir, it IS attractive enough to be
harmonious among it's handsome sur
roundings. The burrs are of stuffed
mirror velvet Of a rich shade of green,
and into them are stuck small pins in
bristling array. Three of these burrs
are used, and one stimulated open
burr. This is made by first cutting
out a form of buckram, like an orange
quarter, wiring it and covering it af-
terward with cream satin for the in.
side and green mirror velvet for the
outside. By aid of the wire these
quarters are bent into a curved shape,
like the originals. The open burr,
from which the chestnuts are suppos-
ed to have dropped, looks very natural,
grouped with the closed burrs, and the
three reproductions, fastened to a
stout twig, constitute a specially fetch
ing ornament in a room done in greet.

H VEGETABLES.

One cannot be too careful about
washing vegetables which are to go to
the table uncooked, In the city vege-
tables are exposed for hours outside OF
grocery stores and markets, with the
dust and dirt from the streets blowing
over them. Simple rinsing in cold
water will not remove half the dirt,
nor a hundredth part of the disease
germs. Salads should be washed
through several waters, and finally
held under the cold water faucet with
the stream running at nearly full
force. If, for any reason, boiled water
Is being used for drinking purposes,
the water in which the salad is wash
ed should also be boiled.-New York

prisons for American offenders. Such
institutions are maintained in China,

wretched penal institutions OF the
countries named.
