49,. full All Around.

A very useful article to keep always
near the sewing machine is made in this
way: Take three light wooden boxes,
such as can be procured at any grocery
store, all being the same length and
width. One foot wide by two feet long
is convenient size. Have two of them
three inches and the other six inches
deep. The boxes can be made at home
by any hardy man or boy, half-incn
lumber being used. Carefully planeon
both sides. #s$$
Use four upright strips for the frame
and fasten the boxes one above the other
to these corner pieces, in the manner Of
the workbaskets often seen, the lower
box being about nine inches above the
floor and the others at such distance
apart that the top one is at convenient
height to reach into when seated. The
upright posts can be made as fancy as
desired, as turned. pieces .2Qf this kind
can be obtained at any woodworking
shop, or they can be made square.

fit it with hinged cover 1tIcan be used

be lined with suitable material, pockets
being made on each side to hold mate
rails for fancywork, and a needlebook
and small pinc,shion should be fastened
to the lining of the cover.
The second box should be divided into
compartments to hold spools, scissors,
papers of needles, pins, tape, hitting
needles, crochet hooks, ETC., while the
lower one has one-half divided into
small compartments to hold different
styles of buttons, the other half being
left undivided to hold the tools and
materials for stocking mending. When
completed the whole affair should be
stained with black walnut stain and
then vanished, and castors be added or
not as desired. -17.. 4. -tf
It can be made ornamental or not as
one chooses. Some people tack fringe
around the lower edge of each box,
which adds to its attractiveness, but it
makes a creditable appearance without
it. A row of fancy tacks with brass
heads placed an inch and half apart
around both top and bottom of each box
also makes very ornamental finish

1t proved to be an unusually tu-

The air became fervid. High above the
songs of the younger ones could be

the invitation hymn was sung again and
again, and while it rolled upward in
melody-unctious, strong-a long,
drawn murmur of surprise checked the
voices. Big Six had risen and was max

A greater wave of excitement swept

AS the cor gregation took up the re-

An Anecdote Of Lincoln.

In October of 1888 Lincoln met Miss
Mary Owens, and admired her, though
not extravagantly. From all accounts,
she was an unusual woman. She was
tall, full in figure, had blue eyes, dark
hair, and was well educated. She re-
turned to New Salem in 1886, and Lin
coin at once began to call upon her,
enjoying her wit and beauty. At that
time she was about % years old.
One day Miss Owens and another
woman were ascending a steep hill, on
the way to friends house, when Lin
coin joined them. He walked behind
with Miss Owens, and talked with her,
quite oblivious of the fact that her
friend was carrying a very cross and
heavy baby. When they reached the
summit Miss Owens said, laughing:
"You would not make a good husband,
Abe. "-Woman's Home Companion.

Astronomy in America.

The astronomer roval at the annual
dinner of the Society of Engineers said
that the American astronomers really
seemed to monopolize the whole of the
science. They had zone ahead, he was
sorry to say, even of English astrono-
mers. The progress they had made was
due, as much as to anything else, to the
fact that they had been able to get larger
funds for the construction of their tele-
scopes. AS it advanced the science of
engineering involved costly works, and,
unfortunately in England, it was very
difficult to get sufficient money to pro-
vide these costly works that were es-
genital to the advancement of science.

The merit of striking novelty can
hardly be claimed for this convenient
trifle. but it is newer than the scarlet
fruits-supposed to be strawberr1es-1n
the guise of which emeries are SO ire
ouently made. To make the emery-bag
proper, use a bit of very firm muslin or
dress-lining about two inches long and
a little over one inch wide. Double this
in the middle, and turning in the width
of a seam at the sides and ends, sew the
sides together with the finest and closest
of over and-over stitches; for close sew
ing is absolutely necessary to hold the
emery. There is probably an old emery
in somebody's work-basket that would
be benefited by a new covering, or you
can get new and inexpensive straw
berry, in order to procure the filling for
your tiny bag. In either case cut an
opening in the smaller end of the bag

over this, and gently poke and squeeze

The purple strip is doubled over the lit

however, be shorter in proportion to it's

ALL-AB0UNDING NERVE.
KANSAS Merchant Who Was Not La OK.
ing When Assurance Was
in Demand.

The out of town merchant owed the
Kansas City house 5000 for goods pur-
chased the month previous, relates the
Kansas City Star. The bill was due and
aletter was written requesting payment.
A letter came back saying that the writer
was somewhat short of cash and re-
questing an extension of 80 days on the
BILL The Kansas City merchant wrote
another letter saying that he must in
sist on the payment of his bill and sug-
gested that if the customer was hard
up the local bank would undoubtedly
accommodate him with a loan of 5000,
so that the bill might be paid.
In 70 hours the Kansas City man re-
ceived a reply, which he is carrying
around and showing to his friends as a
certificate of the nerviest business
proposition ever issued in Missouri. The
letter follows:
Dear Sir: Your letter of December
26 came to-day and noted. was much
pleased with your suggestion about Dor
rowing money from the bank here. In
fact, I was so pleased that this morning
l went to the bank and asked for loan
was told that it would be necessary to
get another signature on the note be-
sides my own. Now. I do not care to
ask anyone down here to indorse for me,
but as you and have had considerable
business together inclose the note for
your signature. Pleas sign just below
where have written my name.
"You will probable notice that the note
is for $500 instead of 5000, the amount of
your bill. You see, owe two other fell
lows who handle the same kind of goods
as you $50 each and thought as long
as you and I are going to pay your bill
we might as we'll borrow enough 10 pay

And the house kept fair for my lord to see:

Is cleaving burrows sad to see
In a face that once was fair;
And often, alas! there comes a frown,
When the baby pulls the dishes down
And the fairy prince" goes mad with
glee;
IT'S weary round, ali me,
IT'S blessed round, all me!
For the bloom Of youth and health
Is on each sweet mouth that kisses me,
And theie love is mine of wealth; -
And tie fairy prince" and all the rest
Are safe within homes sheltered rest.

AMERICAN ORANGE CROP.
Expectations Of the Principal Orange
Growing States-Facts About
the Industry.

In the last publication of the agri-
cultural department page is devoted
to the orange crop of the United States,
and the prediction: is made that, If favor
able weather prevails, the orange crop
now coming upon the market will be the
largest in the history Of the country.
California expects to market more
oranges than she ever did in any previous
year, almost twice as many as were pro-
duced there five years ago. Florida, too,
expects to make good showing, though
she is still far behind the record which
she made in the years previous to the
great freeze of February, 1895. Her crop
will, however, if the preliminary esti-
mates are borne out, be larger than that
for any year since that calamity to the
fruit interests of Florida. In the six
years previous to the freeze Florida was
producing from 2,5O0,000 to 100000
boxes per year, with a fairly heavy in
crease in the production from year to
year. In the years 1866 the crop fell
to 46,580 boxes, and since then in only
single year has it passed the million
mark, so that even now Florida is far
behind the position which she held as
an orange-growing state previous to
the great freeze.
The Importance Of California's orange
industry dates back practically to the
winter of 1879, when there came into
bearing, near Riverside, two trees of
seedless fruit. These had been obtained
by the department Of agriculture of the
United States from Bahia, Brazil. They
were the first seedless oranges to be
grown in North America, and, though it
is stated that the first crop amounted to
only 1G oranges, this was the beginning
upon which California has. based her
steadily growing orange industry, until
it is now claimed that the current year
may show almost II 600, 900 boxes in that
state, which would be more than the to-
tai production of the United States in
any previous year. Admittedly, all these
figures are estimates, but they show the
great Importance of the grange crop of
Florida and California not only to those
states themselves, but to the whole
country, as it furnishes delicious and
healthful fruit.
In spite of this enormous growth in
the production of oranges Uncle Sam
still has to import some eacb. year to
make up the deficiency of the home sup
ply. In the last five years the average
value of our imports of oranges amount
ed to more than 100000 year. OF
these half came from the British West
Indies, quarter from Italy, with Mex
leo the next largest source of supply.
In the same five years our exports of
oranges averaged about $3.50 900, Canada
taking IS per cent. of the total. AS our
imports exceeded our exports It is fair
to argue that we have not yet been able
to bring our orange crop up to a point
where it is equal to the domestic de-
mand for this fruit.

but when Judy stood in front of her, she
was apparently seized with another
paroxism of JOY.
"Glory!" she shouted, plunging for
ward, II got de glory now!" With one
hand she struck off Judys cherished
straw sailor and trampled it under her
feet. With the other, she gave one
mighty jerk, and the white swiss waist
was hanging from Judy's trembling
shoulders.
"Glory! Glory! Use boun' fuh
Glory now!" she calculated, and with
lightning rapidity her fat hand dealt a
binding blow in the face of her unfor-
tunate rival. Then lowering her head,
like a charging bull, Six literally but
ted screaming Judy out of the open side
door and stamped her disheveled body
before the confused negroes realized
what she was doing.
Jordon leaped to the rescue, and while
willing hands pulled off Six, he lifted
the limp and helpless Judy, whose torn
dress was dyed with the crimson tide
that crept from her maltreated nose.
The meeting broke up in confusion.
Those who rejoiced most over the ap-
parent conversion of Blk Six were
loudest in condemnation of her method
of announcing it.
dom b'lieve dat mig ubbah thought
O. bein' converted-she jes' hypocrited

This was the universal verdict loudly
proclaimed.
Next day Jordon sat by Judy's bed

anxiety.
EFF you'll jes' say you kin fuhgive me

he whispered, "I'll nubbah ask nothin'

Judy looked at him with little gasp
of apprehension.
II sho' thought you'd ask me marry

sob In her voice.
"Oh, Judy, darlin', nubbuh thought
I'd dast!" cried Jordon, bending over her
with face full of surprise and delight.
