A GOOD NIGHT STORY.

Once upon time a famous man
went to visit little town in Italy, so
the mayor and the chief men of the
little town said they would present
the famous man with some figs and
cream, because those were the most
important things which were sold in
the little town.
The figs and cream We're placed IN
beautiful silver basins and che mayor
and the chief men carried one silver
basin each. But before they set out
the mayor said to the others: AS
you do not know what to do before
such a famous man, you must watch
me and do exactly as 1 do"
Now there was a step down into
the room where the famous man was
waiting, but the proud mayor was
marching with his head held so high
up that he did not see the step at all.
So he fell down and went sprawling
right into the room, and the cream
from the silver basin flew all over his
whiskers, and the silver basin rolled
into a corner of the room. Oh, what
a sight he was! And he was so
frightened that he just sat on the
aoor and stared at the famous man.
The other chief men of the little
town were following the mayor, and
when they saw him fall they thought
they had to do the same. So they
sat down on the floor and dipped
their whiskers in the cream, and then
threw their basins into the corner,
The famous man was very much
surprised, for they must have looked
very droll with their creamy Whisk-

THE CREPE TABLE COVER.

A chocolate brown in Japanese
crepe from the upholsterer's is used
for hemmed table covers, stelciled in
most effective colors.
On this soft brown a light putty
color is used with brick red. and the
pattern one of the simplest of run
ming stencil design.
These table covers are made OF u
square measured by the width of the
crepe. thirty inches, Or else they rep
resent two widths, or even three,
overcast together by hand with silk
to match the crepe and with stitches
so fine as to be unnoticed. The hens.
also, are not conspicuous, an eighth
of an inch being one Of the faVorite
ideas in hem measurement, the press
ing Of hem and seam being about an
almost perfect smoothness.
Blue crepe has been most effective
ly used, gray-blue with a decoration
of dull purple and sage green sug-
costing the colors of the iris.
White of creamy tone is stenciled
with pale yellow and brilliant orange
in conventional design.
Four squares Of yellow crepe are
joined with narrow gold lace inser-
ton to form large table cover, each
corner of the finished piece being
decorated in long japanese stitches
with gold thread in wandering leaf
design. The soft shades and the
crepe quality suggest almost endless
possibilities for decorations.-New

Laying A Ghost.

Sir William Henry Perkins, the
inventor of many coal-tar dyes, was
talking in New York, before he sail
ed for England, about the Psychical
Research Society.
''Crookes and some other scien-
lists go in for psychical research" he
said, though l confess that to me
the subject makes no great appeal.
Personally | have come in con-
tact, during a fairly long career,
with but one ghost story Its hero
was man whom I'll call Shocks.
''Snooks, visiting at country
house, was put in the haunted cham
Der for the night. He said he felt
so uneasiness; nevertheless he took
est American pattern.
HE fell asleep without difficulty,
but as the clock was striking two he
woke with a strange feeling of op-
ression
Lifting his head, he peered about
i'm. The room was Wanly illuminat-
ed by the full moon, and in that
weird, blush light he saw a small
hand clasping the rail at the foot
of the bed.
Who's there?' he demanded,
TREMENDOUSLY.
There was no reply. The hand
did not move.
Who's there?' said Shocks
again. Answer or I'll shoot
Again there was no reply, and
Shocks sat up cautiously, took care
full aim and fired.
''He limped from that night on,
for he shot off two of his own toes. 1"

Use For Lava Found.

In Oregon, where they are building
a railroad south from Bend, the en-
gineers have reached the lava fields
which lie in that State. and they have
decided to use the lava for ballasting
the road. 1t is held that it will make
an excellent ballast. and will be an
economical one, as nature seems to
have prepared it for the purpose. The
experts say that all there is to do is
to have a steam shovel scoop up the
half disintegrated rock and dump it
into cars which will carry it to the
point where it is to be used. If it
should prove to be a success, 1t Is
claimed that this Will be the first time
