MAKES GOOD WINDOW SEAT.
How Old Fashioned Walnut ParIor
Chair May Be Utilized.

When you have n of the old fash.
loned walnut parlor chairs with carved
legs you can, with the addition of a
kitchen chair, make a neat window
seat or couch for a den.
Remove upholstering and springs
from the parlor chair. This forms the
back, which you saw off, and attach
the front legs to a hollow square
which makes the frame for seat. Saw
OIL the pair of front legs just where
they are Joined to side strip, leaving
what were the front legs and front of
seat intact. Saw off the back piece
Of the square where it joins the sides
and you have the back legs, separated,
but each is attached to the side piece
which formerly connected them with
the front. Attach each side piece with
Its corresponding back leg to the front
80 that you have four front legs for
your %settee, the two middle being the
former front legs of the chair, the two
end ones being the former back legs.
Treat the kitchen chair similarly and
you have four back legs; stain to
match front if possible. Join front
to back by strip Of two by four or
other strong pieces; nail boards close
together for seat. Cover with excel
sior or old quilt, over which nail, with
brass tacks, a pretty cover. An old
portiere, cretonne, or even a pretty
piece of old carpet or rug will do. Let
the cover fall over in front to hide
the rough work.

How a Hero Died.

Victor Hugo tells this story Of hero
ism in the recently published book of
his literary remains, Victor Hugo's
Intellectual Autobiography" "Anatole
Leray set out for Brussels, passed
through England and then embarked
for Australia. The day the steamer
arrived in sight of land a storm arose
The vessel capsized. The passengers
and crew nearly all succeeded in
reaching land by means of the life
boats or by swimming. Anatole Leray
was among the saved. Meanwhile in
the tumult of shipwreck, when the
pell-mell of the frightened wretches
rivals the chaos of the waves and
each thinks only of himself, a half
wrecked boat had remained in the
surge and was appearing and disap-
pearing in the waves; three women
chung to it despairingly.
THE sea was at the height of it's
fury; no swimmer, even among the
hardest of the sailors, dared to risk
himself. They kept their eyes fixed
on their dripping garments. Anatole
Leray flung himself into the surf. He
struggled hard, and had the satisfac-
ton of bringing one of the women to
shore. He dashed in a second time
and rescued another.
"He was worn out with fatigue, torn,
bloody. They cried out to him,
Enough, enough 'What?' said he.
There is still another And he flung
himself a third time into the sea. He
never reappeared."

KILL TO PLEASE SWEETHEART.
One Way for an Abyssinian Youth to
Win a Bride.

I'm Abyssinia the natives will kill
white men in order to please their
sweethearts," declared Frank Mowrer,
formerly consul general to Addia Abe
ba, and just appointed consul at Leg
horn.
1T is never dangerous for a white
nan to travel in Abyssinia provided
be is accompanied by a native es-
cort, because those who compose such
an escort are always trustworthy, but
a man takes his life in his hands If
be goes abroad alone. Not that the
natives are ferocious, but that he
could not be sure that one Of them
had not made a pact with his sweet
heart to kill a man Of white skin in
order to win her for his bride. The
native who wins such a distinction
wears a white feather in the back of
his hair.
among all the 1000, 900 of popula-
ton and in the entire area equal to
New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and
New England, there are but two
white women in Abyssinia. They are
the wives Of two consular officials.
Strange to say, the national game is
hockey, but Caucasians cannot play
1t very much because of the climate.
The natives work but little and. eat
raw meat. They kill an elk, peel off
the skin as you would peel a banana,
drain off the blood and proceed with
the feast. Every Abyssinian is a
good butcher.
ITO the lover of nature Abyssinia
Is a paradise: In my journey through
the land l saw thousands upon thou
sands of different species Of birds that
were beautiful in their plumage and
sweet in their songs. Occasionally 1
heard the faraway roar of lions, those
mighty beasts that promenade the
forests and seldom modest human be-
ings unless they are attacked. The
Abyssinians never use a light at
night, no matter where they are, and
sit in the dark and converse. There
fore they have good eyes. And they
have wonderfully white teeth, made
SO by cleaning them with the spread
ed ends of a small stick"
