CUSHlONSF ORPINS
HANDY ARTICLES IN USE SOME
TIME AGO.
Then the Necessity for Economy Made
Them Of Value, To-day the Saw
Ina Of Time 70 More to Be
Considered.

Many q middle aged woman remem-
bers the handy pin cushion that hung
by the window In her grandmother
kitchen and another that stood on the
sitting-rOOm table all bristling with
steel heads and eyes. The first cushion
was likely to be heart shaped and COW
cred with red flannel. and the other
made over . glass pedestal or brick.
The brick pin cushion. which betrayed
its foundation only In its shape. was
very useful for holding the end Of q
long seam such as were then sewed by
hand. and along its sides were rows Of
blunts and sharps and favOrite darn
ing needles. for In those days. before
one could buy needles and pins for a

needle was used long time before &C.

Once in q year or two the brick was
uncovered and the stuffed top taken
apart carefully to recover the various
valuable needles that had slipped out
of sight. l thought of all this when
my friend showed me what she called
"a Mary wilkins cushion" because. as
she said. all the old ladies' that she
remembered In her old New England
home used to keep one like 1t standing
In q corner of the window sill. These
cushions were either round like an ap
pie or pointed like q strawberry or q
pineapple. and each was made over
what was once the base or stem of
glass goblet The covering was gen
orally q piece from somebody's dress.
and had q story Of its own. while round
the base was q quilting Of silk shipped
in points along the edge or else 1t was
q scrap of narrow fringe SO much used
in those days for dress trimming. The
housewife bore the breakage of glass
with greater fOrtitude when she
thought of the possibilities Of the
wreckage for pin cushion material: the
lower part of broken glass was often
Q welcome gift from friend to friend
Even now 1t IS probable that there are
stored on upper shelves In some old
houses such fragments that were in
tended by thrifty matrOns for making
the cushions which had the hOmely
beauty that belongs to things which
are frankly useful. Modern pin trays

PROMOTING A BIG THING.

Every city in Washington of 10000
people or more. has a Y. NJ. c. A.
building. The largest of these never
lock their doors. If the scores of young
men who go from the small towns to
the big cities would look up these Y. NJ
C. A. buildings and make their head
quarters there, they would be doing
we'll by themselves. The percentage of
growth of association work in this state
has been many times greater than in
the country at large during the past
few years. There are 90 associations in
Washington now-nine in cities, six in
colleges. two in industrial centers two
at small towns and one at an army
post The state executive committee,
which organizes all associations and
supervises the work throughout the
state will this year place another man
in the field for promotion work. It
hopes to organize several new asso-
Citations before the end of the year.

In this market the effects of easier
money have been most notable in

Since the first of January it is es-
timated that bond sales have increased
fully rs per cent while transactions in
stocks have declined nearly so per cent.
There has also been good investment
demand for preferred and guarantee
stocks. Lack of confidence has had
considerable to do with turning the
investment demand in these directions,
since any business reaction which may
have to be endured will fall entirely
upon the common shares of railroad

If the democrats really want to elect
the next president, why not select a
candidate who represents something?
In the person of Ex-Governor William
L. Douglas, the great shoe manufac-
ture Of Brockton. Mass, the democracy
would find an ideal candidate. Mr..
Douglas is a self-made man. He has
worked up from the shoemaker's bench
to the governors chair. He can SYM
pathize with labor He is the head of
a great industry and is a capitalist and
knows the needs of business and in
dustry He is a banker and understands
the currency question He is a mama
facturer and knows the tariff situation.
He is q constructive statesman, as wit
ness the wise legislation of Massachu-
sets in relation to savings banks. and
life insurance. He is not identified
democratic party. He carried the rock
ribbed republican state of Massachu-
sets by a phenomenal majority. He
would reunite the democracy and lead
it to victory. He has no past political
record like Bryan's. He would make a
safe and sane candidate; that is, if he
could be induced to take the nominal
ton. The trusts and grafters would not
like him, but the great body of the
common people, the business men and
the farmers would elect him. The dem
