Cushions Lend Distinction.

Every woman has been proud to
own one or more sofa and bed cush-
ions made from the handkerchief
linen and squares of filet lace. Moth
ing gives more distinction to a bed
room couch or the bed itself than the
addition of one of these cushions.
These are now initiated in covers
for pincushions. If you are looking
for dainty present for another girl
you cannot go far wrong in choosing
one.
1t is about six inches long and three
wide and is made of the finest mate
rails. The squares of filet lace have
the classic designs on them. The
edges of the linen are finely hem
stitched. Tiny round pearl buttons
are used, which do not button through
the material, but fasten into tiny silk
loops. They are slipped over colored
silk Innings.

PRETTY HOMEMADE BUTTONS
Can Be Made for Use on Almost All
Occasions, and the Work Is
Attractive.

When may buttons be made at
home? First, last and often, but not
always, because on some of the more
magnificent costumes the buttons
must necessarily be of richest crochet,
with the undercovering of satin show
ing through or else covered with
satin, which requires accurate manu-
facture, or of the jeweled variety.
The handmade button is, however,
not to be despised, and with deft fin
gers beautiful buttons may be made
at home. 1t is delightful pickup"
work, mechanical enough to admit of
conversation sprinkled in after the
first button or two.
Some of the narrow novelty braids
woven round and round and sewed
as they are woven make rich but
tons. The gold and silver braids are
used in button making for evening
dresses. A basket weave combining
the two is a new and effective cover
ing, but it is too difficult to recon-
mend except to the experienced.
Button decorations and centers of
shaped opaque beads, which may be
had at the fancy-work counters, are
particularly ornate, giving a richness
to house gowns and evening dresses
and repeating some note of color in
the gown or the jewelry. These
braided and beaded buttons are nee
essarily less difficult when large;
they may be woven on thin, firm silk
or dress material first or may be
worked upon the covered button mold.
Broadcloth admits of the same
varied treatment that linen does, and
is a particularly firm material for
home button-making. Use twisted
embroidery silk on broadcloth and
mercerized cotton on linen. Trace or
draw the patterns you want to en-
broider, because the mold being
round there will be much uncertainty
about getting them alike. Do not cut
the material into small circles and
then attempt to embroider it. 1t is
much less difficult to use embroidery
rings, and therefore to keep the ma
terial in a large piece. Draw your
circles on it and work them before
they are cut out.
"A simple design, such as a conven-
tional flower with four petals, will
make more attractive buttons than
more complicated design. After the
petals are padded and worked solid,
edge them with an outline stitch.
Outlining is the better stitch for
small buttons.

Jams, who had somehow received
news of the desperate straits the men
were in and hurried off to their as
sistance. He did what he could for
the injured men, but one of them was
in such woeful condition that he
died almost Immediately. They were
all sent into Silchar, however, and a
band of armed Lushai was dispatched
to the abandoned camp to collect and
bring away all the kit that had been
left there. They found the tents,
bedding and blankets and bags Of
rice torn and dragged about and
sight rule and plane table stand bear
ing marks of fangs. Probably they
had been utilized in beating it off.
When Mr.. Williams met the party
all the men were so profoundly af-
fected that not one of them could
speak above whisper and begged
not to be sent back to the same To-
cality, but to be allowed to work for
the rest of the field season in open
cultivated country, which they have
been permitted to do.

Now that the taste for amateur
farming is becoming so universal, sew

known is that of Lady Abingdon, at

They saw probably the finest cOllec-
ton of white stock that has ever been

white, or rather, pale gray, for there
is no breed of English horse extant
which is pure white. The Shires come
the nearest to it, an these are easily
the finest Of the kind in existence, as

FEROCIOUS TIGER
ATTACKS SURVEYORS
Animal Makes Two Visits to Their Camp; the First Time Doing
Small Damage, But Comes Again. Woundng Several and
Badly Frightening All Of Party in the Hills Of India

The Survey of India Notes pub
fishes the following graphic account
of an attack on a party of survey
Ors:
An interesting report is given by
an officer in charge of a survey par
ty in the Lushai hills, adjoining the
Cachar district of Assam, dealing
with a series of ferocious attacks by
a tiger on two of his surveyors.
The tiger made his first appear
ance on February Is at the camp of
Surveyor Gopal Singh, when it is said
to have sprung upon the surveyor and
one of his khalasis, who were seated
alongside of each other while the
evening meal was being cooked. For
some reason not known the tiger did
not touch either of the men and dis
appeared as suddenly as it had come,
but the men were so alarmed that
after spending a sleepless night they
moved their camp to that of Surveyor
Amar Singh, about four miles off. On
February Fl, however, the same tiger,
presumably, attacked the camp again,
Selling a khalasi who was washing
his cooking pots in a stream not 20
yards from the camp.
One of the tindals, by name Nandu,
armed with only a stick, very pluck
lily rushed at the tiger and tried to
beat it off the unfortunate khalasi,
but it was not until the rest of the
two squads came up that the tiger
dropped his prey and disappeared,
only to return a few minutes later,
and in spite of the frantic shouting
of the men seized Nandu by the arm.
1t was again driven off, but again re-
turned, and seized a third khalasi It's
third attempt to provide itself with a
meal was frustrated in the same way
as the others had been, and fortu-
nately, it only succeeded in inficting
slight injuries. The whole party
then spent the rest of the night sur
rounded by fires and keeping up
continuous hullabaloo.
At daybreak they moved off to a
Lushai village carrying two of the
wounded men and their maps, but
leaving their tents and everything
else behind them. On their way they
we're met by the camp officer, L. Will

Burial in Labrador.

DR.. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the Labra-
dor medical missionary, in an article
written for the Century relates that
to the Eskimo mind everything ami
mate or inanimate possesses a soul.
In the graves they invariably place
every cherished possession, that their
spirits might serve the departed spirit
in the same capacities in the life to
come. There is little room for burial
beneath the scanty earth in Labrador,
even if the frost would permit it. So
the grave consists of upright stones,
with long, fiat ones laid across. These
not only serve to keep the wolves
from the body, but wide chinks also
afford the spirits free passage in and
out.

a EAHIZY FORAGE

Of burden in that, instead of the fiddle
head and long ears of his commoner
brethren, he possesses the small, fine
chiseled cOuntenance and delicate,
shapely legs beftting mule who is
gift from a sultan to a lord.
Another foreign importation in the
Abingdon fold is a family of milk-white
Angora goats, whose chief beauty is
their long, silky, luxuriant hair, which
is carefully combed out and washed
each day.
Less striking, but more useful, are
Wharfdale and Policy, pair of ideal
pigs. Not pink pigs, but white pigs,
with plenty of hair to keep them warm
and thriving, with legs not long
enough to permit them to run over
much, and with bodies giving such
promise of future pork and bacons and
hams as to cause the very sight of
them to make negros mouth water.
And then, of course, the. farm at
Crichel contains many animals which,
like the Angora goat, are kept more
to fill out the collection than for any
unitarian purposes. Among these
are the little white guinea-pigs, looking
like so many animated powder puffs
as they fit about with their bright
eyes glowing like searchlights in a
fog; also number Of white rabbits
and flock of snowy pigeons, which
circles round and round the house.
top in such clusters that, from a dis
lance, one would believe a midsummer
snOwstorm was raging there. And
there are Russian geese, too; strange
little creatures, with stealthy gray
eyes and hair all curled and ruff1ed
like a wet feather boa. These do not
compare in beauty with the "silkie"
fowls, the snowy wilderness of whose
feathers is enhanced by their shining
purple combs and turquoise ear lobes.
But aside from the fine specimens
represented, it is the careful attention,
the never-fagging care which is ex-
pended upon them, and the large grass
runs and portable washtubs, enabling
them to live as they should, which
keeps the Abingdon collection in con-
dition and renders it easily the finest
of its sort in the world.
