CUSHIONS OF lava PRINT

The fashion for cotton prints In all
forms for trimming clothes has now
spread to cushions. In truth, this is
pretty much where 1t belongs.
In other days there used TO be at.
tractive cushions made of East indian
prints for summer sofas and porcb
chairs. but lately they ave not been
plentiful.
Now they are coming back in full
force. You can get them in the sbops
or buy the material to- cover plain nil
lows. BY the way. it is not q good
plan TO put a fresh new cover over
a faded, dusty one that has seen serv-
ice all winter.
Throw this cover away, wipe off the
cotton or linen beneath with gasolene.
put IL in the sun for a day or two
and when il is entirely fresh put on
the new cover.

EMBROIDERED PARASOLS.

All OF the very latest and most at
tractive parasols IN linen, or pongee
must be northumberland The ad-
vantage OF embroidering the mounted
parasol is that the design may be-
readily applied. and the parasol, when
opened. presents enough resistance to
make the work very quick The design
shown on April 10 is attractive and Is
very easy to embroider. There are
some clever girls who are able TO trace
from a picture, placed on the under
side OF a white parasol. a design which
they can embToider very easily in out
line or long and short stitch, in fact,
there are so many ways to beautify a
parasol that it is almost difficult to
mention them singly.

TUNNEL NEARLY COMPLETE

From information considered re liable it is learned that the biz United Verde tunnel. at present being driven night and day to con meet with the 1OOO-foot level of the mine, ought to be completed not later than September 18th.
 The tunnsl, whom completed will be 6.592 feet in length and is be- ing driven from both ends. Int distance made from the shaft end is now about 1900 feet, and from the other end about 4SOO feet, or approximately 5000 feet in all.
 Work is progressing at the rate of about 80 feet per week from each end, or about 160 feet per week for the two forces at work; 90 that the remaining 600 feet to be driven really ought to bs accomplished in not over four weeks, if nothing happens. But figuring on all un- toward possibilities. which are ever to reckoned with. it is thought that easily by September 18th the op posing miners will meet and shake hands, after having. in record breaking time, accomplished one of the big feats of Arizona mining.

HE HAD FORGOTTEN

Little five-year-old Harold's mother was of the new school and thought that baby days were for play and not for the coming of catschisms. One day Harold came to her with the question. "Who made ms?" She answered "God,p and az the child was apparently satisfied without any explanation as to who God was, the conversa- tion dropped there.
 Shortly after, 6 reverend. dis tinetly of the old school. called on the family, and after the manner of his kind. began to question the son and heir as to the doings of Adam and Eve, Solomon and sun dry of his sort, and was sadly shocked to find that he knew far more about Mother Goose thaa sacred history.
 At each unanswerable questirn the ohild's self respect sank to low CT depths and he was on the verge of tears because of this revelation of his abysmal ignorance when. in extremity. tho reverend gentleman exclaimed: "At least. my poor child. you can tell me who made your"
 "Yes. I can." the youngater blurted out. brIghtening visibly, "or-or-anyhow, mamma did tell me the name of the man, but-but Pve forgotten it!"

She then reheo ted as to what course shs should pursue. She thought long and at last hit upon a strange plan. From among the aforementioned corres pondence the lady, according to "Aprodite" in the Gentlewoman, selected four letters. pasted them on the back of her fan, and then accompanied her husband to din- ner, where she knew she would meet her rival. It was not long be- fore the fan attracted the attention of the guests. who asked to be al- lowed to look at It. The fan then passed from hand to hand and whom it reached the rival she turned crimson, and under the pretext ot a sudden indisposition withdrew.
