FURNITURE MADE At HOME.
Comfortable Combination settee and
Table for the Porch of Odd
and Pleasing Design.

A combination settee and table can
be made to pc used and left or the
porch. If one likes the rustic" this
could be made of unplaned lumber, the
seat and arms and back being rubbed
with coarse sandpaper to take off Che
worst of the roughness that would be
likely to catch on the clothes.
1t might be well, perhaps, to plane
the upper side of the table top, though
that, too, might be left rough to be
used without cloth. This piece could
be left to be "grayed' by the weather,
or could be made of boards already
weathered, or the gray could be start
ed with a stain. A water stain (ani-
llne) might be better than an oil stain,
because little Of the stain could be
wiped off and unless the oilstain were
very thin it would look too much like

HOW THE POOR OF CHICAGO ARE

MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR

icago.-Upon it's needy of nearly
two and one-half millions of people
Cook county is eXpending each year
practically a round million of dollars
in various forms of charity. This is the
contribution to the poor of the county
government, and does not include the
sums expended either by the city or by
the various charitable organizations.
Neither does it include the amounts ex-
pended year after year for buildings for
the charitable institutions.
This vast sum of money goes to care
1T cares for the insane at Dunning; it
heals the wounds of the afflicted at
the Cook county hospital; 1t provides
food for the hungry and coal for the
cold through the medium of the county
agent, and it buries the pauper dead.
From the standpoint of the sociolog
ical student there are few more interest
ing places than Dunning. Within the
protecting walls of it's many buildings
hundreds of insane are cared for at ali
times. To it the poor are sent, there TO
complete their allotted days surrounded
by such necessities. if not luxuries, as
the public can bestow There one may
find the representatives of all nations
and all peoples. The latest addition to
this remarkable institution is the hos
pital for INDECENT consumptives, built
upon the most modern lines, with fresh
air and sunshine to be had from every
side. Within this building about $50
patients may De accommodated at one
time. These patients come from the
oyercrowded and infected Sums They
are the victims of the sweat shops and
the dust-ridden factories. The sunlight
and fresh air of Dunning gives to them
their one chance for life. Here they are
surrounded by such luXuries, provided
atpublic expense, as they have not known

sarcastically, when Pierre had ceased
speaking.
Eyes" answered the boy.
WELL" said the man, IF were going
to make up yarn I'd try to have it rea-
sonable, or end in something exciting"
"But | didn't make it up!" exclaimed
Pierre. Indignantly.
"All I'm sorry for" said one of the
men, is that he didn't bring the egg
with him. 1t would have made such q
rare omelet."
At this the sailors laughed.
AS long as Pierre lived he was known
as Big-Bird Pierre, for he could get no
body to believe him. Since his time.
however. more has been learned of Mad
agascar, the island where Pierre landed:
and though nobody has seen a living bird
such as Pierre described, eggs and skele-
tons of birds have been found, and, judg-
ing from them, it is no wonder that the
little French boy was frightened.
The egg Is larger than a football and
would, it is calculated, hold as much as
100 hens eggs. AS for the bird, it was
of the same family as the ostrich, but
was more than twice as tall and proper
tionately heavier, SO that, towering as it
did mans height above the tallest ele-
plant, it must have been startling
bird to see for the first time un-
expectedly.
The aepyornis, as the bird is called,
does not exist now, but Mr.. Wallace, the
great naturalist, thinks that all the indi-
cations are that it may have lived With.
in the last two centuries.

The Cases Treated.
children's Building at County Hospital.

1t is interesting, even though some
what grewsome, to study the statistics
of the cases treated at this great hos
pital. This may be done from a tabu-
lated statement recently issued by the
warden, which represents year in
which a total Of 22,227 cases of all kinds
were treated. The warden in comment
ing on this tabulated statement says:
mot only among medical cases, but
far beyond any other disease or condi-
ton enumerated in our list, pneumonia.
with total of / Ill and death record
of $50, stands out most prominently.
This is but another bit of evidence of tho
alarming extent of this scourge. The
figures show a mortality of almost SO
per cent
Among medical cases, rheumatism
follows pneumonia in number of cases.
To its credit are given SAL. Tubercu-
losis, with 534, does not quite equal the
number of deaths from pneumonia, and
gives very interesting comparison be-
tween these two diseases. Typhoid
fever shows total of 439 and syphilis
1868, being quite noteworthy in point Of
numbers.
"On the surgical side, fractures show
the greatest number eff cases, ranging
close to thousand. The actual number
on record is 991, of which 866 are simple
and 65 compound. This division may
not be exact, as all cases reported sim
ply as fractures, in which compound was
not specified, were classified under the
head of simple fractures. 1t will be seen
by a glance at the table that nearly all
varieties of fractures are included in
the record. Scalp wounds show total
of 574, while confused, gunshot, LAGER
ated, incised and punctured wounds are
all numerous.
"Cellulitis has 24O and, erysipelas 1872
Hernia has 224 to its credit, and appen-
dicitis 145. 1t is more probable that q
considerable number of the 81 cases I'M

pendicitis."

The Insane.

SOSSelSSs
More pitiful in their helplessness than
the consumptives are the insane. Many
of them with reason driven out by the
troubles that beset the poor of large
city, the, to them, unsolyable problem
of providing food, clothing and shelter
Tor families and self in the midst of COM
petition that Is both nerve and muscle
wracking.
Unlike the new conditions in the state
prisons these poor demented souls are
not left to think of their Troubles. Such
of them as are physically able to work
are provided with tasks that come as
greater boon than shelter food and
clothing could possibly be alone. A
spacious farm provides employment for
the great majority of those able to work.
On this farm is raised, by the help of
these workers, much of the vegetables
that are needed for the tables, much Of
the feed for the COWS and horses neces-
sary to the maintenance of the place.
For the workers pleasant cottage of
commodious size, 54x80 feet and two
stories high, has been built. In addition
to the employed farm hands, the truck
gardener and his family, this building
will accommodate about IS of the men
tally deficient workers. Within it are
provided smoking rooms, lounging
rooms. toilet rooms, living rooms and
large air dormitories for the patients.
Around it may be found all the evidences
of farm life, chickens, hogs, cattle,
barns and sheds. Both inside and out
1t is ideal for its purpose. Here the boon
OF work takes from the situation in
which these unfortunates find them
selves many of the terrors that would
otherwise surround the very idea of be-
ing public charge.
The less fortunate, those whose
troubles are so serious as to prevent
them from working, are equally we'll
provided for in pretty cottages, the sur
Voundings of which are as ideal as the
purpose for which they are used makes
1t possible to make them.

A LITTLE ESSAY ON MUSK.
If You Want to Be Left Severely
Alone Scent Yourself Lib
orally with the Stuff.

If you are going to travel, by sea or
by land, scent yourself with musk. 1t
will ward off everything and everybody
from you, dangers and moths included.
1t is generally agreeable to all man
kind. 1t is so sweet and refreshing.
and such an air purifier! In railroad
cars, where there is no air to speak of,
and everybody who does not smell of
smoke and onions, smells of Goldfish
and old cider, it is especially delight
full.
1t doesn't make anybody sick at the
stomach, and no well-regulated head
would ache on account Of it, and the
man who would get profane, and talk
about woodchucks, and polecats, and
water rats, in connection with the
smell of musk, ought to be condemned
to ride second-class forever, between a
fat woman carrying home-smoked her
ring, and a colored nursegirl with a
baby that smells of sour milk.
At church, musk is delightful. 1t is
the very "odor of sanctity." The cler-
gyman can preach better for it, and the
bald-headed deacon and the long-nosed
sexton can sleep better and snore loud
er with it odorous fumes waited to
their nostrils with every gentle wave
Of your pocket handkerchief.
People who do not like it are i'll
bred. 1t is the perfume of the rich.
Empress Josephine was fond of it, and
we don't know whether that fact had
anything to do with Napoleon's getting
divorced from her or not.
Scent yourself literally. Don't be
afraid. Don't be stingy. Make your
self smell in the world, if you cannot
make yourself distinguished.
1t Is a land of freedom, this is! Ev-
erybody has a right to smell as hi
chooses, and il everybody else does not
like the odor, why he can plug his
nose.-N. Y. Weekly.

knots of velvet and the jabot is of lace.
The other gown is of champagne
colored wolfe. The skirt is composed OF
box-plaited breadths, alternating at the
top to little rounded tabs The box
plated breadths are ornamented with
buttons and cords matching the gown.
The bolero-like bodice is gathered at
the top and again at the bottom, and
is trimmed with the cord, forming mo-
tifs. The fronts of the BLOUSE are fin
ished with revers of white silk en-
broidered in delicate colors, and open
below over a waistcoat of champagne
colored silk ornamented with cord, OF

plastron is of white silk or linen and

Regular Hours for Meals.

Regularity in the taking Of wholesome

The Proper Care of Clothes.

After the walking dress has been re-
moved the skirt should be well brushed
and hung in the wardrobe on two hooks
by means of two loops. Or, better still,
fold it carefully in the seams. pin to-
gether at the band and suspend, SO
pinned, on the hooks. Some wardrobes
are now made with movable hangers,
which are very useful. Coats should al
ways be stretched upon hangers when
not in actual use. Stoles and boas,
whether of feathers, chiffon or fur, are
always freshened up and benefited by
gentle Sinking in front of the fire after
wear on wet day. The feathers be-
come quite crisp again under such treat
ment, while the chiffon loses the
wrinkled, curled look that rain gives it,
and assumes its normal fuffiness.-Ch
