shape of IN Orang outanS which Is
called Mary and IS as near human as

she is nearly three feet high when
erect. but she favors sitting posture
and looks about her in the wisest kind
of way. Her skin Is black. and the
entire body and head are covered with
short dark reddish hair that is not
overthick on any part, while the en-
trene length on the back Is less than
one inch. Mary Is of cleanly as well
as industrious disposition. Twice n
day she has good wash. 4 tub OF
water. soap and towel are given
her. and she handles the soap with an
expert hand, afterward polishing off
with the towel. When she Is through
she wrings out the towel and hangs it
up TO dry. On the voyage from China
Mary was once given tubful OF
towels from the wash, and she care
fully wrung out every one and hung
them on the clothesline with the neat
ness and dispatch Of an experienced
washerwoman.

Table Linen Hints.

Most housekeepers are fond Of nice
table linen. Experience has taught one
who is very particular about buying and
caring for her linen, some important
things. 1t is economy to buy six inches
more than the standard length for each
tablecloth; the extra three inches on
each end of the table does not make any
material difference with the looks. When
the cloth shows any sign of getting thin
on the corners and edges of the table,
cut six inches from one end and hem as
before; this changes all the wear and the
folds to a new place aud the cloth will
last nearly twice as long. An excellent
laundress last year folded napkins in
three sections instead of four, the usual
way. Beside making napkin look very
nice and large it will last much longer,
if this is done some of the time. Table
linen almost always shows wear first ON
the folds, especially in the centre. This
also applies to tablecloths and line
towels.
In mending table linen darn nicely, be-
fore washing, with fine linen thread,
across the warp; then stitch with the
sewing machine up and down the warp,
several times, having fine thread and a
short stitch. The stitching will hardly
be visible after washing This makes a
firm nice looking place on both sides
and will last as long as the rest OF the
article. Do not let thin place become
a hole.

CRANDMA'S
PARAS0LS.

"Children," said grandma one rainy
afternoon, "how would you like me 10
show you how to make dolly para
sol? A good many gears ago your
mother used to love to see me make
such things. and If you will draw your
little chairs up to the table will be-
gin right away"
Two dismal faces frightened up. ana
Daisy and Lucy ran for tie chairs.
aud soon grandma was ready to begin.
On her table lay the materials-a
small fat cork about half an inch
thick, eight large pins. each OF them
two inches long, some balls OF gay
worsted and short hatpin with
glass head This head and the cork
she had already gilded, as it took some
time for the gilt to dry, and she did
not wish to be hindered by waiting.
Daisy and Lucy watched with eager
eyes while grandma took up the cork
and carefully stuck the pins all round
II mt equal distances, bending them
downward slightly. These were for
the ribs of the parasol Then she ask
ed the little girls to choose each or
them n color from the pretty balls OF
worsted.
Daisy seized on pale blue and
Lucy bright pink.
Eyes. those will go well together.
said grandma. Now watch me close
" while show you how to cover your
parasol."
She took the end Of the blue wOrsted
and tied 1t round one Of the pins, close
to the cork. and began winding 1t
round. At each pin she made loop,
or what sailors call a half hitch. to
steady the worsted.
The little girls looked on in delight
while the parasol grew under grand
mas skillful fingers, and when the
blue worsted covered little more
than half of the pins she threaded a
worsted needle with the end Of 1t and
fastened il neatly on the under side.
Now for my pink" cried Lucy.
And dear grandma tied 1t 10 the same
| pin where she had finished off the blue
and began to wind 1t. the two pretty
ro.0rs making Il charming contrast.
II last every bit of the pins was
covered except their heads. and after
finishing off the pink as she had done
the blue grandma took the small hat
pin and stuck 1t firmly OH the under
side OF the cork. This is for a
handle" she said.
1t was n lovely dolly's parasol. and
Of course there had to be another just
like it, for Daisy and Lucy always had
things alike. and Seraphina and Ara
minta. their dolls. were beautifully
sheltered from the sun and the adj
miration of every child in the street.
I A word just here To the mammas
and aunties who may help you tC
make one of these parasOls some rainy
day. II you have no gilt paint handy
for the cork and the head Of the hat

dressing is just as good, only a tritit
less effective. The parasol has bet

HaxeI's Story.

When the bell rang Stanley was
studying hard. He stopped to listen
as mama opened the front door. 1t
was n Of the church ladies, who had
to plan with mama about a mis-,
sionary box. So Stanley went right
on with:
BAN, BAN, boo, bamboo; BAN,
BAN, b-o-o-s, boos. bamboos; e-c.h,
ech, o. echo; e-c-h. ech, o-e-s. oes.
ehoes."
He shut his book. He was sure of
every word now, and mama had said
that he might go out to play ball as
soon as his lesson was learned. He
ran upstairs to get his ball.
AS he passed mama's room, he saw
his little sister Hazel had walked from
her nap
"Tanney! Tanney! Tum back" she
cried.
"Oh dear" Stanley said to himself.
Whatever made her wake up just
now! I'll keep still. and perhaps
she'll go to sleep again."
''Tanney! Tum back" The little
voice was very pleading; but Stanley
did want to go and play ball. He had
earned his play hour. and he did not
like to give 1t up.
