Cross Stripe Curtains.

Many housekeepers prefer the

the reason that they keep fresh long.

ing when they must be cleaned.
White Swiss requires starching, and

Nowadays cross stripe curtains

make tank, say about nine inches

one inch thick. This can be done in
temporary wooden mold. Use good,
Portland cement in making, and take
equal parts cement and clean sharp
sand mixed to the consistency of thin
dough. Reinforce the base by put
ting in wire screen, Fig. 1, turning
up the edges so the glass will rest
firmly against the screen. Allow
about one-eighth inch open space be-

glass. After the cement has set about
forty-eight hours mold the corners

A HoOdOO Black Chicken.

Mrs. Cal Remy, thrifty housewife
of this place, recently had an expert
ence with some poultry which was
unusual, to say the least. One of her
hens hatched brood of chickens, all
of which were white but one.
The hen attempted to kill the one
black chicken and was prevented
from doing so only by Mrs. Remy
transferring the black chick to anoth-
er hen. This hen, however, also had
a brood of white chicks, and she too
objected to the black chick to the ex-
tent that she tried to kill it.
Finally, Mrs. Remy took the de-
spised black chicken, more lead than
alive, and placed it in cage with a
canary bird.
Here the chick was not molested,
but was permitted to peep to its
hearts content The peeping, how
ever, finally got on the nerves of the
canary and now he has ceased to sing
and makes no noise save that of peep
ing, in imitation of his cage mate

Use for Tins.

Here is good way to make use
of empty sirup tins: The 4lpound
size is perhaps the most useful, but
others will do as well. Wash them
clean, then procure small tin of
enamel, any color you like, but pale
blue is pretty; give them three coats
on the outside, allowing time for
each coat of enamel to dry before
putting on the next. Cut out from
bills or papers the letters you require
to make the words showing the con
tents of the tins, such as peas or
Rice. Stick each letter on separately
and as neatly as possible and give
one coat of crystal varnish to the tin.
1t can be washed when soiled.-New

The case has many ramifcations.
Kaufman for a long time was considered
one Of the most trustworthy business
men Of New York His partner, NJ. A.

kagfnans integrity, that, according to
Hill, he induced number of his friends
to take shares in the business. One OF
these friends was named Blum, a Cleve-
land merchant, who put in S27 900 9th
ers invested smaller sums.
The business proceeded satisfactorily
for six months until Blum asked Gus
TONER to settle AN outstanding account,
which the customer declared was not due.

fairs resulted in the discovery Of a num-
Der Of falsifed entries amounting to
100000 Kaufman in the meantime

was placed in charge of the case. II was
known that Kaufman had sailed for

could be found until his wife, who is IN
business in Lawrence, Mass. dropped a
