BLOCK OF AUTOGRAPH QUILT.

leo was sewed. The diameter of tue
wheel measured from the outside
edge of the rim, was 141a inches, the
diameter measured from the inside
of the rim was 11A inches, the diam
eter of the hub measured from the
outside rim was 51a inches and the
diameter OF the inner circle Of the
hub 2Hs inches. The illustration here
with shows the pattern of the block,
greatly reduced. The wheels were
first basted carefully on the muslin
blocks, then the blocks were distrlb-
uted among the ladies of the So
ciety with the request that they
whip the edges of the wheels with red
silk thread-which was given out
with the blocks-and secure names
enough to fill the white spaces in the
wheel, the charge for each name to
be ten cents. When all the blocks
were finished and sewed together,
good penman was chosen to write
the names on each block as handed
in. the name of the maker of the
block being placed in the center and
the other names between the spokes.
This was done with indelible ink
We realized $5S in this way and sold
the quilt for ten dollars, thus making
$6S.-Farmers' Review.

UNIQUE PANTRY DOOR.
An Idea That Is Worth Initiating
in Houses Where Things Have
to BE "Crowded.o

Not having any too much room in
my pantry, which was originally hall
cupboard, I utilized the door in the
manner shown. The smaller articles
have tacks as hangers, for the larger
ones small hooks are better. These
can be bought for a few cents per
dozen, and do not damage the wood
as does a nail. The ring by which the
chopping bowl hangs Con the lower
part of the door), was formerly on a
window shade, but was found to be
just the thing for this purpose. The
lids are held in place by fine wire
stretched across the panel to small
tacks driven in the edge of the
molding.
The little pocket above the stewpan
holds my bread tickets, for living is
high in this town, and we find that
bread for two is cheaper bought than
made. Above this is a sheet of card
board, which call my fruit list. | may
tell of it in another article. Just below
the gem pan is a little book made Of

a second trial. Just below this thick
pad with pencil attached which re-

sweeping Off the Cobwebs.

In the nursery tales the famous old
woman who is credited with the desire
to ''sweep the cobwebs off the sky" was
armed with broom, and in the house
hold realm the broom has long been
recognized as the most effective
medium for busting the walls and
sweeping the obnoxious cobweb from
its lofty resting place. says the Brook
lyn Eagle. An experienced housewife
living in a country town, however,
states that in this advanced age walls
and woodwork are best busted with
long-handled window brush covered
with canton flannel 'The brush not
being in such frequent demand as the
broom, "she says, s'can be put away with
its cover on, and is always ready for an
emergency in the shape of cobweb."

A FALSE ALARM.
Singular Source of a Startling Rumor
of the Destruction of
New York.

From Mexico City there comes in pri-
vate letter this story of how the rumor be-
came current there in April of the destruc-
ton of New York, reports the Times:
"On the afternoon of the Sd inst. there
was a rumor here of terrible earthquake
and cyclone in New York. Everybody
talked about it, and each one had worse
tale to tell; half New York was destroyed,
with 100000 people. Think of my
anxiety! was afraid to telegraph. At
last | made up my mind to do SO, but when
| reached the cable office they showed me a
telegram just received in reply to an in
quiry, which read: Not word of truth in
it | was greatly relieved. 1t seems that
two Spaniards VINO live here and who had
been on a visit to Europe returned to New
York that day. They are known among
their friends here as Earthquake and 'Cy-
clone and are besides great eaters. One
of their friends in New York telegraphed
to friend here:
g Earthquake and Cyclone arrived; have
swallowed up half New York
This was the cause of the whole thing"

w. j. Hill, of 40 South Union Street,
Concord, N. c., proprietor of hardware
and harness store, Justice of the Peace,
and one of the best known residents OF
that city, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
proved a very efficient remedy in my
case. / got a box at the Gibson Drug
Store and used them for disordered
kidneys and backache from which had
experienced a great deal of annoyance,
trouble and pain. The kidney secre-
tions had bothered me for long while,
were very irregular, dark colored and
full of sediment. The Pills cleared it
all up and have not had an ache in my
back since taking the last dose. My
back is much stronger and my health
generally is improved great deal. I
am glad to make public endorsement
of the Pills trusting that it may be
the means of relieving some other
sufferer"

Our Roads AstonIsh ForeIaners,

The development Of passenger trans
portation in the United States astonishes
all foreigners. Edwin A. Pratt, repre-
sentative Of the London Times, was MAX
ing some Investigations yesterday at the
Grand Central station with view to writ
ing comprehensive article on American
railroads. His inquiries developed the fact
that the New York Central has eight pas
senger trains day between New York
and Chicago, and when he learned that
the distance is $50 miles he remarked that
At is a marvellous thing. He was still
further astonished to find that four Of the
eight trains make the $50 miles in twenty
four hours, and that one, the Twentieth
Century Limited, goes the distance every
day, in either direction. in twenty hours.
His amazement grew when he was In
formed that the west-bound Twentieth
Century Limited carries only Chicago pas
sengers and will not take passenger for
any other point He remarked that his
people would be equally astounded on
learning these facts.-From con the Tip
