Floral muslins for window and bed

Bed sets including a coverlet and

Ruffled curtains of figured Swiss

Centerpieces and doilies that are
embroidered in colors or made of
drawn work should never be allowed
to get very soiled before washing. not
only because everything that belongs
to table should be kept spotlessly
clean, but because they are perishable
things and should never be rubbed
hard.
Many attractive novelties are shown
In art embroidery. Foremost among
them are the cottage sets for summer
homes and cottages. These sets are
selling better than ever before. Hith-
erto, confined almost wholly to the
great metropolitan centers, the de-
mand for them now has spread over
the entire country and promises to
have great boom.
Stem ware, as the charmingly shap-
ed goblets and other spindly glasses
are called, is to be trimmed with gilt
and ornamented with gilt monogram
or crest. For country houses there is
a veritable craze for glass in every
shape and form in which it will prove
serviceable for the table, and the cares
of the housekeeper are thus greatly
lightened. as many pieces do away
with similar articles of silver which
means much care.

Campaign badgers.

The war department is besieged by
Inquiries regarding the campaign
badges, of which thousands are to be
issued ON account of services rendered
In the civil war. Indian campaigns,
the Spanish war and campaigns in
China and in the Philippines Alto
gether, there are nearly 100000 OF
these badges being struck of at the
United States mint In Philadelphia.
The distribution will be made by the
acknowledgement Of the army, who has
all the records in the cases Of those
who are entitled to these emblems.
There has been delay Of two years
In getting these campaign badges
ready for distribution. This Is due to
,ome extra work which was under way
At the Philadelphia mint, and which
could not be laid aside in favor Of
The campaign badges.

Leather From Whale skins.

The British consul at Chicago has
made report to his government con-
corning the whaling industry carried
on by Newfoundland fishermen. rky
have been attempting to make whale
leather a commercial product, and
are said to be meeting with some sue
cess. The average whale hide covers
a surface Of about 1900 square feet.
A square foot of the hide weighs from
2 to 5 ounces, and Is priced as high
as SO cents. The leather is very tough,
and is said to have great wearing
qualities, and may, therefore, be
adapted to the covering Of furniture.
buggy tops and seats. and also auto
mobile uses. 1t is also claimed that 1t
can be used for boots and shoes.
Leather made from the intestines of
the whale resembles kid. and is to
be offered to glove manufacturers for
making the long-sleeved gloves now
worn by women.

HOME MADE coTILLoN TAvoRs.
Profitable and Pleasing Occupation for
4se- Leisure Hours.

No matter how many amusements
there are in summer. such as tennis,
golf, bathing and croquet. there is al
ways an hour or two in each day when
girl wonders what to do with her
time. She may not care to read or
sew, and yet feel too lazy to do
anything more strenuous. In these
hours some girls last summer hit on
a splendid scheme which at the end of
the season gave themselves and many
others a great deal of pleasure. They
were most anxious to give cotil-
Ion, but could not. as the favors were
so expensive, SO one of the girls sug-
guested their getting together and
making some. So they met one morn
ing and started by making paper flow
ers, of which they made great many
in about an hour, and on leaving each
girl was given some paper to take
home with her so that she could make
more. The next week these flowers
were sewn on a ribbon about yard
long, the kind that can be bought for
about is cents apiece. Ten flowers
to each yard OF ribbon was the allow
ance, and when finished it made
very pretty ruff for the neck. With
the flowers that were left over were
made boutonnieres for the men, and
here, with little II any trouble, was
one set of favors. For another set
they cut out pretty pictures from mag
azines and had glass cut to fit them.
These. when passe-partouted, made
most acceptable favors for the girls
to correspond with those the men had
ordinary white clay pipes with the
date of the dance painted on the bowl
and the stems tied with ribbon. For
another set they had paper hats for
the girls and rosettes Of ribbon for the
men

Ribbon, the excessive use OF which
has long been too important an ad-
junct of dressmaking to cause any
comment, includes this year among
its other oddities whole gowns and
wraps, according to Paris cores
pondent. The Picking gauzes are imi-
tated by sewing black and white satin
ribbon on foundation Of mouselline
de sole. and lace gowns are made up
with lines of ribbon and entre-deux.
The more usual use of ribbon is In
trimming, and this seems to be more
extensive than ever before. Often a
gown will be trimmed with plain
ribbon, with a pompadour ribbon for
the belt.

the handkerchiefs in position. and
should be chosen in the same shade
of pale pink as the lining.
1t is a good plan to sprinkle some
sachet powder over the silk before
putting the finishing touches to the
lining. as this will give delicate per-
fume to the whole of the sachet.
Other contrasts of color can be Sc
lected, of course, II preferred, and
the sachet would be pretty in leaf

yellow lined with white. or in two
shades of mauve or hyacinth-blue. Ini-
tials or flowers might be embroidered
on the outer side of the case.

Rival to White Waist.

The fancy for the all-white waists
has somewhat subsidized before the at
fractions Of the waist Of tan lace and
the waist that is of ivory colored net
trimmed with yellow lace with tiny
bits of needlework set into the lace
These lace waists are more interesting
than the all-white lace waists and
they are suitable for wear on many
dressy occasions. They can be made
to match the gown by the introduction
of bits of colored embroidery.

GROWING up SLOWLY
NEAR AT HOME"
BY J. w. Foley


Boy" down where he was born. He
lived on a farm out a little way and
in winters he went to school in town.
He did his share of fighting and
wearing of old clothes cut down, and
eventually graduated, with a head full
of knowledge and face full of freck-
les. He wasn't the valedictorian OF
his class, but stood well up and had a
lot of hard sense.
they said.
Then he went to work because his
father had to struggle along to give
the other nine children a chance, and
there wasn't any surplus for col
lege training He needed part of
the money that "Perkins's Boy" could
earn, and "Perkins's Boy" was willing
to earn it.
He got a place in village store
and read books nights. and In the
course of a little time he had a
chance to sweep out lawyers office
learn to draw mortgages, register as
law student, and he did that.
"'Perkins's Boy is ambitious" they
said
He interested himself in everyday
affairs, and was able to talk sanely
and sensibly on current topics with
out getting mad, and one time they
sent for him to make Decoration
Day address down at a little country
picnic. and he acquitted himself SO
we'll that they said "Perkins's Boy
was summat of speaker"
One day he went into court on a
rather important case and won 1t, and
declared "Perkins's Boy" would make
his mark
One time they needed compromise
candidate for State attorney and
somebody suggested "Perkins's Boy
and to the horror of those who feared
intrusting boy with such important
duties he was nominated and elected
And they vowed that 'Perkins's Boy
was certainly coming along"
He met with his usual reverses, but
one day he prosecuted an important
criminal case, where the sympathies
of the community were aroused in his
favor because of the nature of the Of
tense charged, and he handled the
case SO skilfully and tactfully, and
addressed the jury with SO much
reason and so little bombast, that
five minutes.
"'Perkins's Boy certainly did him
self proud" they said.
He got along m years before he
got out of the States attorneyshir
and entered a little larger field OF
politics In the State. and one hot con
| vention day he made an address that
, carried closely fought battle. and
somebody asked:
Who's that speaker"
And a gray-bearded old delegate
who had known him when he was
going to school, said:
why, that's Perkins, Boy"
He had few gray hairs at this
time. but lots of sanity, patience and
good nature. and when there was g
matter of rather more than usual i'm
portance. the men of the town used
to go down to his law Office and talk
it over with "Perkins's Boy" His ad
vice was generally sane and his in
stincts fair and just.
And one day old Simon Kramer
picked up paper out on his farm and
emitted whoop of surprise which
brought his wife in from the kitchen
with her hands full Of dough.
What in the world is the matter
Simon?" she said.
That Perkins, Boy has been
nominated for congress-" declared
Kramer, holding up the paper.
| And "Perkinss Boy" was then near
ly SO.
Which shows how slowly boys grow
up near at home.

 Convict Department.
 Four years ago the new system or
 working the convicts in the mines went into effect There were many doubt CTS at the time. There seems to be none now who doubt the wisdom Of
 the departure. About 500 convicts,
 about as many as are physically able
 to be put in the mines, are getting
 out coal by the ton. The change from
 the old system in which the State av- eraged. for the year before the new plan was effective, only S11 head for the men leased to coal operators, pro- vides, besides the advantage of largely increased gains. thefr care by the States own wardens, it's own nurses and its own doctors. Besides the in- creased income we have more hu- mane management and greatly re- duced death rate, as will appear from the reports of the Physician Inspector. I have not at any time regretted that I caused the change to be made. The department for the past six years has been managed with signal success, as will be more clearly seen by & report by years for the past twelve years:
