INDOOR HAMMOCK.
As Source of Comfort and an Ideal
Resting Place IL Is Tn
eXcelIed.

The hammock in the minds OF most
people Is associated with outdoor life
on the veranda and lawn, In the good
old summer time, but it has possibilities
as an indoor attraction during other sea-
sons, says the Brooklyn Eagle. A woman
who believes In the hammock as a COM
fort producer indoors and out SAYS:
There are many rooms too small 10
hold conveniently a comfortable soft.
For these l consider a hammock little
short OF a necessity, while in large rooms
the hammock would merely be an added
beauty. perfect lounge for readiog,
and an ideal resting place. 1t must be
netted with strong silk, it must be very
wide and long enough TO lie at ease and
rest and sleep In and the color must be
in perfect harmony with the room. The
hammock can be boUght ready made.
Indian red is color which harmonizes
with almost everything; or the hammock
could be made Of material of ones own
choosing and materials which are dreams
of joy are nowadays within the reach OF
all. An oriental drapery is needed to
throw over one end, and at least four
large soft cushions for the inside Of the
hammock. The carpenter must be called |
in to plug the walls and screw Ia books, |
which must not be done too high: one |
sits as well as lies in q hammock. II the /
carpenter has any fear Of the strain on
the walls pieces Of wood can be fastened !
to the floor and to the required height on
he walls. and can be carved or painted

WHEN NATURE rs REMIsS.
Notable Instances Wherein some of
the Senses Have Been Omitted
in Humans.

Nature mods undoubtedly at times. as
In the case of the child born without a
brain, whose case was lately made pub
lie. Not long ago an infant was born
and hyed for three weeks with a hole
through its heart. Thousands of us
are color blind, others have no musical
sense. And there are many Laura
Bridgmans, many Helen Kellers. The
queen Of Roumania has or had at her
court in personal attendance upon her
self the daughter Of a blind nobleman.
She could neither hear nor speak and
had 10 be taught to communicate by
holding the throat of a speaker and
initiating the vibration produced by the
effort. But what a grudge against ma
ture must such a one as Lyon Playfair
discovered ever feeli
Here was a girl who was blind, deaf.
dumb and could neither taste nor smell.
One might be pardoned for asking If
such life was worth living. Yet there
was beautiful lesson in such an exist

fair discovered. He sent her a pretty
finger ring. and the poor mite replied
in this pitifully pretty letter: Dear Sir
Lyon Playfair: Sir Lyon Playfair sent
Edith ring in box Edith thank Sir
Lyon Piayfair for ring. Sir Lyon Play
fair come to see Edith. Good-by. Edith"
during his first visit the child had close
y examined his hands. wrists. arms and
face. her touch beirg marvelously ac-
surate. A year later he went again to
see her At first she did not recognize
him and no one betrayedIhis identity. At
length she turned back the euff Of hts
shirt and touched his wrist. Her face
lit up with intense JOY. 1T is the Eng
lishman who gave me the ring" she
rapidly spelled out on her fingers And
In SECOND she had flung her little arms
around his neck and was weeping with
delight at the recognition.

INGENIOUS eRooKLYN THIEVES

Enter Buildings i'm Hollow Lounges
and Rife at Leisure.
Thieves In Brooklyn nowadays are
not only Industrious, but ingenious. A
truck was driven recently to the home
Of woman living in Ocean Hill early
in the afternoon. A suaye young man
In charge Of 1t said, addressing the
woman by name. that her husband had
ordered lounge to be sent to her, and
he wished to deliver It. The woman de.
elared tina. her husband had told her
nothing about 1t, and that II must be
a mistake. The young man insisted,
however, that 1t was no mistake; that
the lounge had been paid for, and he
wished to obey instructions by deliver
Ing II. The woman, in the circum-
stances, thought II might be all right,
especially as there was nothing to pay,
and allowed the young man and his
assistant to bring the lounge into the
house and place II in the hall. After
they left she went upstairs.
About an hour afterward the suave
young man returned, with his assistant,
and, with many apologies, explained
that he had made mistake after all;
that the lounge had been bought by a
man OF a somewhat similar name, but
of different address, and that he
would take 1t away and deliver 1t to the
right person. The lounge was then
carted of.
Soon after the truck drove away the
woman discovered that valuable cloth
Ing and ieweiry were missing from a
room on the parlor floor. As she had
been alone In the house before the
lounge was delivered. and had seen the
and jewelry In the room short
time before, she naturally decided that
her visitors could solve the mystery Of
their disappearance of they chose to do

appears that solution Of the problem
lay In the fact that the lounge was one
