THE PORTIERES.
How to Border Them In Persian or
 Turkish Rug Effects.

A handsome portiere or set of cur tains may be made by ornamenting some rich material, such as upholster- CTS satin or damask, with a deep bor- der of pulled work. For instance. if the portiere is of very pale blue satin the bordering would be effective mad. of some harmonious contrast. Very pale yellow or white would do for it is intended only as background for the pulled work. which stands out like t,le pile of a Turkish rug. says the Man chester Union. First seam the borde. firmly on to the material and press t perfectly fiat.
 Then take an ivory crochet needle C large sized cne) and with sharp knife cut the end opposite the hood to a poinc and afterward make it perfectly smooth with emery paper. Now look over you, piece bag and select some scraps of va rious colored silks that will give Per sian coloring to the border. Only dc not have the colors too vivid, or the5 will not harmonZe with the pale blue portiere.
 Next cut the silk in long strips three eighths inch in width and with tha sharpened point of the crochet neat!ie punch hole through the border half a,. inch from the edge; then. turning th. needle. hook a loop of the silk strip through the hole. Continue this until the border is edged by thick line of the silk loops. Then repeat the same process on the other side of the border.
 The idea is to give the effect of the border of Persian or Turkish rug, and the motif of some good rug may be studied and followed. leaving part of the colored border showing. After the design is finished the loops can be cut to form thick pile, or they can be left as they are, which is about as effective.

 It is observed that wherever this plan for drawing trade has been adopted. it has not been abandoned, which proves that il is productive of satisfactory results. Many per sons living within fifty miles of Pine Bluff would come h:ther to trade but for the outlay for railroad fare. As sured that this would be refunded and the further advantage of larger stocks to select from, and lower prices. as an added inducement, there would be no hesitation about he matter.

HAIR IR=HEAUTH.
4 Good Plan Is to Change the Mode
 of Dressing Occasionally.

of Dressing Occasionally.
 The art of dressing where it applies to clothes is great; the number who un- derstand how to dress the hair to it's best advantage in every way small Leaving the style out of the question entirely. nothing is worse than always dressing the hair in the one way.
 This makes it thin in places. while the constant wearing of any kind of frame in any particular part will assist in the same direction It is a good plan to occasionally change the mode of dressing the hair for day or two and to make the style as out of the ordinary as possible
 Where the hair is habitually worn low doing it up on top of the head at times will rest it, and where it is usu- ally worn in that position doing it low on the neck will serve the same pur- pose.
 An authority on the subject says: Never. if you value your hair, sleep with it dressed as you dress 1t in the daytime, but instead take it down and comb and brush it well. Having done this and not regretted the time, plait 1t in loose plait and let it hang down the best position possible if you want 1t to recover in the nighttime whatever vitality 1t has lost in the day"

A PERFECT FOOD.

That Scott's Emulsion should act so quickly and satisfactorily in all cases of lost flesh and continued wasting is not surprising when its food value is un- derstood. With pure Nor wegian cod liver oil, hypo- phosphites of lime and soda and glycerine, there is combined in Scott's Emulsion the best ele- ments of nourishment and strength building known to medical science. Any physician will tell you this. The use of these ingredi- ents in the proper propor- tions; the employment of only the purest grade Of each, and to combine them perfectly is the secret of the success of Scott's Emulsion. You will not find a more certain way to stop waste, build flesh and strength and supply nour- ishment than through SCOtt's Emulsion.

THE CHILDLESS RICH.

Andrew Carnegie has no son and only one daughter, so his hundreds of millions will start no line Of Carne- eie kings Russell Sage has neither son nor daughter aud his fortune vii be scattered among strangers. Le- land Stanford had only one son and he died c. P Hunt 'ngton had no children. Frederick Vanderbilt has no children. Perry Belmont has no children. And three of the younger Rockefellers, although married for ten years or more, have no children. So We might go on through the list of millionaires, and while we should meet with some exceptions, like Will liam H. Vanderbilt with eight chil- dren; George Gould with six and J. P. Morgan with four. we should quickly establish the fact that the average number of children in our very rich American families is far. below the average; instead of approaching four 1t would probably not reach two. And I have it on the authority of Dr. Gull. foy. registrar of.yital statistics in New York, that theiFlfth avenue residence section where our mutil-millionaires live, show by far the lowest birth rate of any other ssuficn in the c'ty. 1 may add that doctor of great;au- thority on this subject assures me that as riches increase not only is there rapidly diminishing number of births, but there is an increasing number of crimes against birth. Prob. ably this is a new and it may be a passing condition, for we are told that seventy-five years ago rich New York. CTS were accustomed to have large families. Thus We read in "New Workers of the Nineteenth Century" that Colonel Nicholas Fish and Eliza. beth Stuyvesant had five children and flnty-nine great-grandchildren that Colonel William Duer and Catherine Alexander had eight children and one hundred great-grandchildren etc. Which shows how things have chang. ed since then in the fashionable set,
