A Sensible Idea

In certain home is a large reading
table and in the center of it is fas-
tened a hand-wrought mission lamp
that cost $12. 1t is securely fastened
to the center of the table with iron
screws and bolts underneath the table
The owner explained that the lamp
was necessary in the room and the
children liked to play games on the
table or 1t was favorite place for
study and they lived in constant dread
Of lamp being tilted until the idea Of
fastening it securely to the table was
thought of.

EDeINes FOR PILLOW CASES.
Crochet Work the Best for Use in the
Hot Weather.

Crocheted edgings make a pretty
and useful finish for pillow cases used
during the summer, when simple bed
furnishings are preferred to the more
ornate. Many women keep a bit of
this crochet work at hand to do when
enjoying the cool breezes of the YER
anda or Willing away a few minutes
in their rooms. 1t makes excellent
pickup work.
The favorite crochet pattern for this
use is the Greek key, which is made
with the corner worked in the lace.
For shams the corner is necessary,
but for the pillow cases straight GRO
Chef is all that is required. The
Greek key pattern is about two inches
in width, with a battlemented edge.
The key design runs through the upper
side of the lace.
A wheel pattern looks we'll when
used this way and is simpler to make
on account of being narrower The IA
vorite one has row of wheels through
the center and a fan-shaped edge.
The Worcester cross border is an
other effective pattern If one likes a
wider lace. When made it is at least
three inches in width.

old JeweIrx EashionabIe.

Bring out your old-time trinkets this
summer. as they will be fashionable,
no matter how ancient they may be.
Old-fashioned necklaces will be espe-
cially in favor, and those with long
pendants are preferred. One such set
seen recently in the east was of the
bunch-of-grapes design, and attracted
a great deal of attention. but they
were not used as earrings, but as
pendants for a necklace that was made
out of pair of bracelets of the same
design.

SUFFERS FOR DAYS
ON BURNING SANDS
TWO WHITE MEN HAVE TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH
AFRICAN DESERT.
STOCK OF WATER GIVES OUT
Oxen Collapse When Still Fifty Miles
from Destination and Travellers
Try to Complete Journey
on Foot.

LOndon.-Two Vryburg- men, Sidney
Smith, well-known local farmer, and
J. y. Brymer have had a terrible ex-
perience in the Kalahari desert, where
they were three days under a blazing
sun with neither food nor water and
hardly came through alive
They left home together in a Cape
cart drawn by six oxen to visit George
LennoX, of Kingstown, a farm sorae
distance into the desert The travel
ers were mainly relying for their
water supply on the trammas, a spe-
cies of wild melon which grows abun-
dainty on the sand dunes and con-
serves its water for months. but they
found to their dismay that these had
all been consumed by the flocks and
herds of the nomadic natives of the
kalahari. The meager stock of water
they had brought with them soon gave
out and after trekking for two days
without drink the oxen collapsed.
The travellers were still about so miles
from their destination.
Abandoning the cart and oxen they
determined to make the rest of the
journey on foot. Eight miles tramp
through the heavy sand reduced Mr..
Brymer to a state of exhaustion, and
leaving him behind Mr.. Smith toiled
on with his native servant in the teeth
of a scorching wind to attempt to
make the nearest water, Mr.. Lennox's
farm, which was his only hope. In six
hours he had become quite deaf, one
eye was almost blind, his tongue had
shriveled up and his palate and lips
were coated with a thick skin. He
had left Brymer at $3.50 at night. At
dawn next morning his Kaff1r boy
threw up the sponge, and sad at heart
Smith had to push on with his collie
dog as his only companion.
An hour or two later he was over
taken by two young Transvaalers,
Messrs. Gerber and lie Roux, on horse
back. They had lost a horse and a
mule from thirst not far from the

Roux was in a state of collapse from
thirst, having to be held on his horse

went on ahead, promising to send back
help to Smith and the others.
When still long distance from Mr..
Lennoxs farm Mr.. Smith met some
Damara women refugees from German
Southwest Africa, carrying water in
gourds on their heads. Incredible as
it may seem. these inhuman people
absolutely refused to give Mr.. Smith
