are not so high as in the cities, SO
would be a good price. For a chest
of the largest size which would be at
tractive in this piece of furniture the
framework should be fifty inches high.
When constructed this frame looks
like a small set of book shelves open
at the sides with the shelves left out,
but with the frame On which the
shelves might rest arranged at prop
er intervals. Instead of shelves or
drawers resting on these frames the
boxes do so.
Now for the boxes. You want paste
board boxes which, after being COW
cred with the chintz, are twenty-sev-
en- inches long, eight inches deep and
twelve inches wide. 1t is necessary
to allow little, but hardly an appre-
cable amount, for the covering. If
you cannot find exactly the size you
want it is not a difficult thing to cut
down a box and alter 1t to the re-
quired size, but what is even easier
is to buy your boxes first and then
have your frame made to fit them.
The entire box, sides and lid should
be covered. The bottom of the box,
of course, need not be. The cover
ing is overhanded at the edges and
corners. The box is also lined and

Quick Wit in Resenting Insult.

OF Gen. Ogelthorpe, the founder of
the state of Georgia, Boswell, DR..
Johnson's biographer. relates this
story: when a very young man, only
10, serving under Prince Eugene of
Savoy. he was sitting at table in CON-
pany with a prince of the house of
Wurttemberg, who took up a glass of
wine and by FLIP made some of it
fly into Ogelthorpe's face. The young
soldier was in dilemma. He burst
not challenge so distinguished a per-
sonage, yet he must notice the affront.
Therefore, keeping his eye fixed on
his highness and smiling at the time,
as if he took what had been done in
jest, Ogelthorpe exclaimed: That's a
good joke, but we do it much better
in England Whereupon he flung a
whole glassful of wine in the princes
face. The affair ended in good hui.

across the bottom. These two shelves
should be far enough apart to give
the depths of hat box from the bot
tom shelf or framework to the middle
shelf, and again from this shelf to the
table top. The shelves will be long
enough to hold two boxes apiece, and
thus you can fit in four boxes for hats,
which, being neatly covered with
chintz, will add to the attractiveness
of your bedroom rather than other
wise, and which will not destroy the
usefulness Of your table.
A box closet is also a most excel
lent device for the care of evening
dresses or the more delicate summer
frocks. In making this proceed as
in the case of the chest of boxes.
Make the same sort of a frame and Sc
lect your boxes to At. Your frame
must, of course, be made large enough
to accommodate dresses laid out as
they are sent home from the dress
makers. Instead, however, of cover.
ing the boxes with chintz an easy
method is to hang a chintZ curtain
across the front of the framework and
smaller curtains across the exposed
sides. 1t is even better, perhaps, to
have the sides made of wood, as in a
bookcase.-New York Herald.

PAPER Milk Bottles.

That the glass milk bottle may be
largely replaced by the paper at no
very distant day now seems probable.
There are many points in favor Of the
use Of paper bottles, one of the most
important being that the bottle Is dis.
carded after it is once used, thus obvi-
ating all chance of infection through
the repeated use of unclean bottles.
The many difficulties which have been
hitherto encountered in the attempted
manufacture of paper bottles have
been nearly all overcome. They are
stamped out of heavy paper in conf
cal shape, with the lower edges locked
in such a manner as to be strength
ened by pressure from above. The
stout cover has protruding lips which
make it's removal more convenient.
After the edges of the bottle are
sealed they are covered with paraffin.
Lastly the finished receptacle is ster.
ilized.

and train the vines to stakes, each
of which is about five feet high. This

the vine should be trimmed to one
