he suggested, for very exceptional
and fancy price. But poor Jane, out of
the foolish fullness of her heart. saw
otherwise. The vision Of that desper-
ate, white-faced man suing to Clifford
rose before her in real, not acted,
pathos; she felt that he was under a
moral obligation to hold out his hand
if he could to Fergusson's child; and
that it was her place to bring him to
see his duty, and to assist him in car
rying that duty out. Mohun was too
really Indifferent on the subject-his
first rage at being called upon to take
trouble over-to contest her wishes
long; and it ended by James writing a
kind note and asking Miss Ferguson
to come, as soon as her visit at Haugh-
ton was over. and spend a week at
Chesterford-"when Miss Grand, an
old friend Of Mr.. Mohun's, would have
more opportunity for ascertaining Miss
Fergusson's wishes and capabilities

Make Fire Extinguisher.

Have at hand small fire extinguish-
ers made in the following inexpensive
manner: Take some common lime,
twenty parts; common salt, five parts,
and water, seventy-five parts. Mix
well and put in thin bottles. In case
of fire a bottle so thrown that it will
break in or near the fire will put it
out. This mixture is better and
cheaper than many of the high-priced
extinguishers sold for the purpose OF
fire protection.

HOW TO MAKE A HAMMOCK
OUT OF A BARREL
BY JOHN RICHARDS.


To make this hammock procure a
clean barrel, take off the hoops and
carefully draw out all the nails. Then
draw a pencil crosswise three inches
from and parallel to both ends of
each stave. Then, with a five-eighth
of an inch augur bit (using the pen
Gil line as a centre), bore two holes
at each end of all the slaves, leaving
an equal margin on both sides, and
sufficient room in the middle to pre-
vent breakage. AS some of the
slaves are wider than others, you will
have to use your own judgment in
the distance apart you bore these
holes. To fasten the slaves together
obtain a piece of stout rope about
twenty feet long. Thread the rope

A RLINDFOLD FROLIC.

A basket is placed on the carpet in
the parlor and each child in turn, af-
ter being blindfolded, is given po
tato which he is told to drop into the
basket.
That sounds very easy, but 1t isn't.
Whenever a player deposits his potato
tiny flag is placed in it. The little
flags are made of white paper pasted
to toothpick f1agstaffs. The players s
name Is written on the flag, and in
this way there Is left no doubt as to
whose potato 1t Is. The potato that
falls In or nearest the basket wins for
it's owner the prize, which may be
sugar or spice or anything nice you
may care to give. A cunning little
BOBBY prize for the one whose potato
gets widest from the mark may be
made of a good sized peanut with
toothpick legs on, a comical express
sion impaired by eyes and nostrils
and mouth indicated with India ink.

Hardened by Sulphuric Acid.

Hardening an ordinary drill in sui
phuric acid, states the English Me-
chanic, makes an edge that will cut
tempered steel or facilitate cutting
hard rock The acid should be
poured into f1at-bottomed vessel to
a depth of about one-eighth of an
inch. The point of the drill is heat
ed to a dull cherry red and dipped
in the acid to that depth. This
makes the point extremely hard, while
the remainder remains soft. If the
point breaks, reharden. but with a
little less acid in the vessel.

PARENTAL CAUTION.

1t used to be the custom, when a gallant
went to WOO,
To seek the maiden's father for a serious
interview,
And to give truthful answer when he
heard the old man say:
"Can you support my daughter in a COM
Portable way"
But now the times are changing and we all
must look ahead
To pierce the distant future when the
young folks want to wed,
And we needn't be surprised to hear the
maiden's father say:
"Pd like to know what alimony you're pre-
pared to pay"

NO POOR HOUSE FOR MARY.

Leave Her Cabin,

Aged Indian Woman Refuses to
Leave Her Cabin.
Indian Mary, the last member OF
the famous tribe of Rogue River In
dians, which was once supreme in
the southern oregon country, who has
been a city and county charge for
several years, is making much trou-
BILE for the city officers and council
says an item from Grants Pass. In
dian Mary lives in a little house on
Pine street that was built by the
county, but now that Josephine has
dered that she leave her cabin and
move to the big house on the hill,
taking her five-year-old papoose with
her.
But Indian Mary, true to her
Rogue River blood, refuses to go. She
is satisfied with her cabin, and no
amount of persuasion on the part Oh
the county court or city council can
drive her out. She says she mo will
go to chuck-chuck house"
Because OF the filthy condition of
her cabin, and of the frequent dis
turbances at her place, the neighbors
are complaining, and have presented
remonstrance to the city and to the
county court asking her removal,
either to the poor farm or to the res
ervation. Indian Mary has a grown
daughter, who is Chemawa student
The county court has shut off its
supply of food and raiment for the
old lady, but she gets ample assist
ance from the salvation Army and
other charitable institutions.
AS Indian Mary refuses to go and
can be removed from her cabin in no
other way, the mayor has ordered the
police to take her off by force. AS
Indian Mary comes of race that de-
lights in warfare, 1t is quite evident
that there will be considerable ex-
citement around her cabin when the
officers appear to enforce the may
or's order.
