A great variety of charming porch
furniture has come into use this year
Most of it is now made Of waterproof,
so that it is no longer necessary to
turn chairs up at night, move the ta-
BILE into the farthest corner, and bring
IN the rugs and cushions. The appear
ance of these articles has been a veri-
table boon to the exhausted house
holder, whoh as found the labor Of
bringing in everything from the porch
at night an unpleasant ending to an
enjoyable evening. Screen chairs are
among the latest ideas, says the Scien-
tific American. They are made wide,
with broad arms, and a seat wide
enough for two, with a great back,
high and broad enough to absolutely
hide any occupant of the chair. The
practical utility of these chairs is so
very evident that they will doubtless
enjoy a long maintained popularity.
Porch swings can be made out of bam-
boo couches, with an additional rail
ing at the back and foot, making both
ends alike. These can be purchased
ready for swinging or can be made
by any ingenious person. The water
proof rugs and cushions are, perhaps,
the most useful of recent devices for
the porch, and are adistnct saving in
labor.

A Tip as to Porch Pillows.

A writer in current magazine
gives some useful suggestions for
porch and roof garden furniture.
Among other things, she recommends
that cushions be covered on one side
with oilcloth. At night the oilcloth
side should be turned uppermost, so
if it should rain they will suffer no
harm. Moss is used for stuftiing the
pillows, since dampness is fatal to
feathers or down.

mont, Mass.-he Has Confessed the
Crime-Says His Wife Had Lied to
Him and They Had .ouarreled.

La Junta, Col, July 17.-John Sch
iskloskas, a Russian, wanted at Bel
mont, Mass, for the murder Of his
wife last Wednesday night, was ar
rested at La Junta this afternoon by
Sheriff Barr while passing through
the city on the Santa Fe railroad. The
murderer confessed and gave the full
details of the tragedy, which has been
puzzling the Massachusetts, officers.
He said that he and his wife were
drinking and Quarreling Wednesday
afternoon, and continued their quar-
rel at a park that night, when her
taunts enraged him to such an extent
that he cut her throat with penknife
and threw the body in gully.
Thursday he started for the west,
making no attempt to conceal his
identity. The prisoner expressed his
willingness to'return without requisi-
ton papers and he will be held by
Sheriff Barr pending the arrival OF
officers from Massachusetts. A tele.
gram from Chicago apprised Sheriff
Barr of the fact that the Russian
would be on Santa Fe train No. from
the east. The train stopped but few
minutes at the station, but this was
sufficient for the sheriff to spot the
only man in the train he believed
could bear such a name. His first
guess was the right one, Schiskloskas
making no attempt to conceal his iden-
tity.
The murderer told a clear story OF
the tragedy. He said he came to
American from Poland five years ago
and worked on a farm near Lynn,
Mass. On February 10, 1905, he mar.
ried the woman whose murder he now
confesses. When he married her, he
states, the woman represented that
she had $500 and was but % years OF
age. He found afterward that she
possessed but 5000 in money and was
more than 40 years of age. The de-
ception she worked upon him was the
constant cause of quarrels, he says,
and these quarrels had their culmina'
ton Wednesday night. That after
noon they decided to go to California,
and the wife furnished money for two
tickets. Then they drank heavily dur
ing the afternoon and went out to q
park at night.
The quarrel over the false state
ments the woman had made before
their marriage was begun anew, and
the man became enraged at his wifes
answers to his. taunts. He threw q
rock and struck her on the head, and
while she was lying unconscious from
the blow he gashed her throat with
penknife and dragged the body
through an unfrequented part Of the
park, throwing it in gully and COW
ering it with rubbish. Then Schisk'
loskas returned home, slept as peace
fully as if nothing had happened and
left for the west Thursday noon, first
returning the ticket he purchased for
his wife and receiving back 500.
