We were shocked aud grieved when
announcement reached us Of the death
of Colonel Joseph Bryan, which sad
event occurred at his country home,
Laburnum. on Saturday evening last
at $50 o'clock. Colonel Bryan was
siNty-three years OF age, and yet il
seems bu, yesterday when We received
OBJ, cordial greeting then in the prime
oi splendid manhood.
Ue fought as boy with Mo,by aud
with a courage born of battle has
carried himself upon every field Of en-
deaNor or of execution with a knight
iy and chiralrlc bearing that not only
won victories in peace ono less re-
nuwn than war but that existed in
admiration of friend and foe alike. lie
was NOT only the first citizen Of Rich
m1ud which be "found brick and left
marble. but of the South for whose
people and whose best good, he till
tIC day of ms dealh cherished love
like that of a woman.
His purse and his heart were open
to the calls of charity and there are
widows and orphans in FsrmviIle
whose aching hearts felt the sympa-
thetic and tender aud helpful heart
throb of this Christian gentleman,
and whose tears have mingled with
chose that have fallen ON his new
made grave, and who would place
fresh flowers there.
Great a. the boy soldier, great in the
direction of business ventures, great
lu the conduct of great newspaper,
great len the councils Of the church Of
his choice. and of his love, but the
greatest of these is charity"

HouscfCrniShin.s have changed in many ways within the past few years. and in every apartment of a well-fur- niShed house there are noticeable de- partures from styles formerly in vogue. Most of these changes are decided i'm provemeuts on old methods. and in the bedroom especially the new modes in housefurnishings are to be recommend ed Overelaboration and fussiness is no longer good style. and the handsOmest rooms are so furnished and decorated that they can be easily cleaned and kept dust-free. as no superfuous draperies, heavy carpets. bed or window hangings are now seen. Bedroom furnishings es pecially have changed in almost eVery particular from those fin vogue some years ago. and while in past years beds Of handsome wood. such as mahogany, were much in demand. now even the most elaborately furnished rooms have beds of solid brass or of enameled iron and brass. The brass bedstead in the best grade and ln q simple artistic de- sign iS however, by no means eXpen- siye and is quite appropriately placed in a room where the rest of the furniture is in solid mahogany or other fine wood. It is no longer correct to leave the night pillows in sight. or to use shams. the round bolster being used Tn almost every instance. and the purpose of this little article is to give the hOmemaker an Idea of how to make such bolster at home at a fraction of the expense of one bought ready made in the shops.
 The work of making a bolster Is not difficult. The most that Is required is the ability to drive few nails and tacks and to sew the cover neatly. Three cir cular pieces of wood are necessary, one for each end of the bolster and one for the middle. These can be turned out of thick wood by any carpenter. or the covers. of large cheese boxes (which your grocer would probably present to you) would serve admirably.
 These three wooden circles are held in position and a framework made by mailing four or five laths or thin strips of wood of the correct length to the three pieces of wood The two laths which are at the back of the bolster must be placed farther apart than the others. for an opening must be left in the press paper" for the pillows to be slipped inside of the bolster every day when the bed is made ID. Some cotton batting and little muslin or cheese cloth completes the list of materials re- quired for the bolster. Press paper Is kind of leather-cOvered pasteboard which will not bend or crack and will

last q long time lf used with ordinary care. It costs but penny or two q sheet, but If press paper cannot be had conveniently the stiff corrugated pastebOard used for packing and lining cases in the large department stores will make a good foundation for the bolster Place the wooden circles one on each side of the bed and one in the middle. at an equal distance from each end piece. Nail the Iaths to the box covers. saving them the right length If they are too long for the bed. Use light nails for this purpose and first drive the nails into piece of common yellow soap, then into the laths and covers, so that they will pot split the wood.
 Measure the press paper" fitting each sheet around the foundation and mark where it is to be cut and where the open ing for the pillows is to be cut If any of the three sheets must be made narrower, let 1t be the one in the middle. and lap the sheets at both edges to make the foundation as firm as possible. When the paper is properly fitted, tack it to the lathes which form the opening for the pillows at the back of the bolster, and when this is in place bind the edges of the cardboard where it Is tackled to the lathes by pasting a piece of heavy cotton cloth to the inside of the cardboard then, fold ing 1t over, paste 1t to the cardboard oD the other side.
 Place several layers of cotton batting over the foundation, heavily scenting the first and last layer with orris, which will give the faint odor of violets to the pill lows. The cotton should end at the open Ing, and so should the covering of muslin or cheesecloth, which Is placed over the cotton and pasted on the inside of the cardboard layer of cotton should be tackled to the wooden cover at both ends and circular piece of cheesecloth sewn to the cover and then the foundation k ready for the outer cover.
 In the two spaces between the box GOV CTS is sufficient space for the pillows and night robes. which when slipped into place in the morning are out of the way for the day
 The spread. which should be made with valance, and the bolster case may be made of various materials to match the furnishings of the room- White embroid- cred linen is always handsome and in ex- cellent taste, and white dimity of the kind that comes especially for the purpose is also to be recommended. Then the striped and flower cretonnes are pretty and do not soil as quickly as the all-white GOV CTS.
