 This simple article of furniture-the tabourette Is made in a great variety of forms, and is used as a footstool, a plant stand, or seat. The design shown in Fig Il will be found very at tractive and the mechanical construc- ton is not at all difficult.
 The size of the top is 20 by 12 inches and the height 16 inches. 1t should be made of quartered oak, and the most difficult part of the work for the be ginner will be to properly smooth the large surface of the top and ends. To do this first plane out all blaming ma chine markings (made by the rotary cutter of the planer) and then with the wood scraper remove all roughness and torn places which remain after plan ing.
 That this style of construction may be better understood we give in Fig 72 an end view at A and also a direct

The art of mahina dHG 1sing these ar ricles is known as pyroteeany, an art which is so old that its origin $ obscure, but which China and Japan developed ages ago. Ii Was not. however, until the fourteenth century, says tae Chicago Daily News, that fireworks became known 10 western nations, although green fire had been used in European warfare for a long time before that date Fireworks were used in public pa seantry in Europe. according to the records, in 1888. The early development of fireworks in Europe was due to the Florentines and for a long time the Italians maintained their supremacy in this field.

 The working plan by which the stretcher can be laid out is shown at B tFig. 73), and great care must be taken to fit the tenons closely to the mortises in the ends.
 In Fig "A. at C, the manner of fastening the cleat to the upper part of the end is illustrated
 It must first be fitted with three screws 114 inch. No. II. as shown. It is then removed and glued. after which the screws are driven down firmly into place Four 4-iDch holes are bored in each cleat to receive the screws, which M I connect the ends with the top. These screws must also be 1A A-inch. No. II. and all screw heads must be countersunk even with the surface of the cleat. The positions for both sets of screws are shown at C. The details for the wedges are shown at F. and at F. Care must be taken in fitting these wedges to their mortises, for if driven too hard the tenons will be split. or the end of the tenon beyond the wedge will be driven out. For this reason it is claimed that the construction shown at D is very much stronger than the former. In this no tenons are made on the stretcher. but instead four long. heavy wood screws are used (2inch, No. 121, and the wedge blocks and wedges are made separately and put on as ornaments only. in the manner described for the magazine rack, Figs.

The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation. but it grows so fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn, and already has thrown down over four bushels of cobs."

vinita Base Ball Association
Held Meeting Last Night
and Elected Officers.

The stockholders of the Vinita Base
Ball Association met at the city hall
last night for the purpose of effecting
permanent organization. A sufi-
cient number of the stockholders we're
present to make it possible to transact
the necessary business.
Jas. S. Davenport was elected presi-
dent; J. f. Hamilton, secretary; r. ".
McSpadden, treasurer, and s. e. Wal
len vice. president. All the officers Of
the association, with J. d. Hughes
and J. II. Butter, constitutes the board
of directors.
The selection of manager for the
team was deferred until all Of the
stock has been paid in and everything
is in readiness to begin work. A. G.
Mars was chosen to act as manager
until some suitable person can be Sc
cured for the position.
I'll. e. Ridenhour volunteered the
free use Of Sportsmen's Park If the
association will put it in proper con-
dition. The offer was accepted and a
committee consisting Of II. e. Riden-
hour, ]. f. Hamilton and S. E. Wal
len was appointed to see that the park
is put in good shape. The slough in
left field is to be brought to level
with the rest of the park, and numer-
Gus other Improvements will be made.
AS it is believed that $500 will be
all the money needed to put the team
in good shape for the opening Of the
season, it was decided to sell no more
stock in the association after that
amount has been raised.
Something over one hundred dol
lars worth of stock is yet unsold, and
the following committee was appointed
to act in conjunction with the one
appointed by the Commercial club in
an effort to dispose of this stock: J.
f. Hamilton, w. r. McGeorge and
Charley Webb.
During the meeting more confidence
was gained in this enterprise and
number asked to have the amount OF
their stock doubled.
Vinita is in better condition than
most of the towns in the Missouri
Valley League as the park fence and
grandstand is already built, and the
grounds are located only three blocks
from the business part Of the city.
A meeting Of the Missouri Valley
League magnates will be held at the
Baltimore hotel in Kansas City tomor-
row afternoon, at which time the
schedule for the season will be adopted.
1t is also possible that two more clubs
will be added to the league, making
it ten instead of an eight club league.
