daughters in this very essential accom-

is TO make an outline of the work to
be taught, then arrange for pupils of
equal ability to begin a course of
twelve lessons.
Commence with teaching the use Of
scissors. thimble and properly knotting
the thread. On strips of muslin about
twelve inches long mark dots with red
Ink where stitches are to be made. Be-
gin with five stitches an inch, and in
crease the number till twenty or more
can be run in that space. Then, with
overhanging, remmingand filling, make
short marks instead of the dots, to
give the proper slant.
Continue with binding, facing, ruff

stitching, cat-stitclIing, and graduate,

Review each lesson, and give only one
subject to lesson. Give practice work
to be done at home. Enliven the les

A class of ten is a good size. Each
one must receive individual attention.
One lesson week is often enough for

GETTING the Moneys Worth.

Mrs. Lane was young and inexperi
enced, but certain principles of econ.
omy had been instilled into her from
childhood. She knew that since one
could send ten words in telegram
for 25 cents and any smaller number
cost the same amount, it was an OBJ
vious waste of money to send less
than the ten.
She had also been taught by her
eminently practical husband that in
sending telegram one should keep

confusion of words. On the occasion
of Mr.. Lanes first absence from home
he sent telegram from Chicago. say.

iNDIoo's UPS AND DOWNS.
Threatened by a Chemical Counterfeit
II Now Is In New Demand.

More than twenty years ago, and
after an extended series of expert
ments, 1t was announced that chem.
lists had discovered how to make arti.
fetal indigo, and 1t was soon ascer.
tanned that the new product was iden.
tical In its properties with the old.
A very few years elapsed before the
new indigo was made in Germany on
a commercial scale; and, as it could
be sold at cheaper rate than that de.
rived from cultivation, the planters
were threatened with ruin.
But strange thing has happened.
1t has been recently found that when
the two kinds of indigo, the natural
and the artificial, are blended in equal
proportions, dye is obtained which is
not only more durable but is brighter
in hue then either by itself
This discovery has naturally result
ed in an increased demand for the old.
fashioned indigo, and fresh impetus
has been given to an industry which
was much in need of support. Cham.

A Setback.

Henry James, after an absence o
many years, has returned 20 America
Mr.. James has come to be regarded
especially by the younger writer's, as
the greatest American novelist Pill
srimages are made TO his beautiful
English home in Rye and word OF

Of greater worth than page Of praise
from an ordinary newspaper or re-
view.
A young American novelist took oc-
casion TO visit Mr. James during a
European tour that he made in the
summer. This novelist is successful
and prolific His books sell with as
tonishing speed and with astonishing
speed he produces them.

praise TO Mr.. james own work, the
young man said:

sir?"

James said candidly. I think you'll
never reach posterity II you carry so

HopeIess!

A well-known Baltimore society
man was recently spending a few
days with his wife at Atlantic City
and in connection with his visit he
tells the following story: When he
seated himself in the dining room on
the evening of his arrival he discov
cred that he could not read the menu,
as he had left his glasses in his room,
and his eyes were useless without
them. When he passed it to his wife
she exclaimed that she was in the
same predicament. At loss to know
what to do, the gentleman called the
waiter to him, and, pointing to the
menu, said:
Read that to me and | will give
you a dollar"
Quick as a flash the waiter replied:
Scuse me boss. but | amt had
much ejication maself."

HAD CAUGHT THE FISH.
Typical story Of the East Told by
Mrs. Gardner

Mrs. John Lyon Gardner of Boston
exhibited some beautiful asters at the
recent show of the Massachusetts, Hor.
ticultural society.
One evening some one narrated to
Mrs. Gardner a humorous story Of an
exhibitor who had tried to bribe the
judges Of flower show into giving
him all the first prizes. She com.
mented on the story thus:
THE man had probably heard OF
the cadi of Bagdad This cadi had
been in his youth a fisherman, and,
to keep himself in mind of his humble
origin. there was always spread upon
his dinner table huge fishing net.
People admired the cadi for this
exhibition of humility. He was rich.
and his house was sumptuous. But.
amid all that elegance, the net, the
sign of the mans lowly birth, was al
ways prominently displayed
The story of the net spread
through the city, and finally it reach.
ed the ears Of the caliph. He, in due
time, sent for the cadi, took him into
his favor and made him the grand
vizier.
Thus said Haroun al Raschid,
we reward humility
From the day of the appointment
the grand vizier ceased to exhibit his
fishing net. 1t disappeared and it was
never spoken of.
Once though, visitor, a man of
considerable impudence, said to the
vizier:
why is it, my lord, that your net
is no longer spread upon your table,
THE vizier smiled and quietly re.
piled:
1T has caught the fish,"
