SKIN SOFA PILLOWS.
A Fad Which, According to Report.
Has Taken Eastern HouEekeep-
ers by Storm.

The woman who does not own skin
sofa pillow has not acquired the latest
fad, which was born of sorrow over the
death of pet
This pet was a calf, which had met an
untimely end, thereby awakening much
grief among the feminine members OF
the family. In the midst of their
woe it suddenly occurred to one
of the girls that, inasmuch as a
stuffed calf would be rather out
of place in the household, the
skin might be used for some other pur-
pose That was when the pillow idea
presented itself.
The men scoffed at the proposition and
said that it was absurd, but they had to
admit that the glossy brown skin, with
its beautifully marked white spots, was
to handsome to be buried with the calf,
so before the last sad rites were per-
formed the body of the little Jersey was
skinned
In due time the skin was cured,
trimmed into shape and used to cover
an air cushion. 1t was made square,
with the exception of the corners, which
were trimmed to represent ears-three
at each corner, and tried with strips of
calfskin in bowknot. When done the
skin had the look of delicate shade
of panne velvet
This novel method Of preserving the
pet calf's skin suggested to some one
else an idea which resulted in another
unusual pillow. On square Of plain
chamois skin fireplace was painted,
bricks and all, showing the glowing
wood, the kettle and andirons. Paper
patterns of a cat and two kittens were
cut and piece of black fur was brought
into requisition for the Tables. The
fur was cut the same size as the patterns,
padded slightly and glued securely to
the chamois skin. The cats were placed
at an angle that brought them to the
left of the hearthstOne, facing the blaze,
and with their backs to the public-a
thoroughly domestic scene.
The Washington Star says that some
of the newest college pillows are made
Of skins. An especially handsome one
was recently fashioned out of a black
and white calf skin, yellow chamois
skin strips about an eighth of an inch
wide being used to form the legend
Yale" The letters were first outlined
on the pillow, then the chamois ones
were glued on. Small holes were made
with an awl at frequent intervals about
the letters, then little brass clasps, with
nail heads, were pushed through the
holes and the clasps spread in position
underneath. OF course this pillow is
not especially desirable from the stand
point of comfort, but it makes a good
show pillow
Calfskin and chamois skin are softer
and better adapted to useful pillows, if
properly made, than other skins. How
ever, those who are so fortunate as to
have beautiful skins of any sort in their
possession will be able to put them to
new use in this way
For instance, some of the new mems
dens are upholstered with the skins of
animals, small heads and tails being
suspended from the corners to give a fin
iShing touch.

STAR ON THE
NEW BANDERLOGS

| The electorate of Honolulu is pecu-
lash. One very sufficient reason is that
the American party system has not
been in existence long enough here to
, make itself felt among many. For this
reason ticket depends more here than
in most places on the character of the
men ON it. This fact was realized in
a warning given in these columns last
week, when the Republican convention
was urged to exercise the utmost care
in seeing that the small precinct poll
ticians did not control nominations in
the interest of prospective Banderlogs.
The warning was all unheeded, and the
expressions of disgust which have fol-
lowed the results are the consequence
that was foreseen. Machine politics in
Honolulu is slowly driving the commu-
nifty away from instead of into Arneri-
can parties. 1t is a cause for the keen
est regret that the Republican organiza-
ton. following its first Territorial VIC
-
which it's dominance seemed likely to be
firmly established, should have placed
such a weapon in the hands of its enc
mics as the astonishing list of Fifth

Richmond County Cotton Crop In.
ju"eG
(Richmond HeadIight.)

The recent rains have materially in
jured the cotton crop in Richmond.
While some farmers. . few. have a
fairly good crop, the majority of
farmers are sadly disappointed in the
prospective yield from their cotton
fields. We feel fully satisfied, our
judgment being based upon the re-
ports of farmers from different sec
tons Of the county, and persons who
have Travelled over the county, that
the cotton crop of Richmond will not
exceed one-half of an average crop
possibly not so much. The cotton on
light lands is turning yellow and is
shedding all it's late fruit On stiff
land where the weed is of vigorous
growth there is but little fruit. and
on about one-fourth of the stalks. none
at all. We don't think the picture
has been overdrawn, for we have
heard Of number of tenants who
have given up their crops Numbers
of tenants will not be able to pay
their rents and accounts for advances.
