How 70 Make = Hanoino Bookshelf

To make a hanging bookshelf cut
three boards ten inches wide and two
feet long. Bore a hole in each corner
of the three boards, also in center ends,
size of the cord which is to pass
through them. Use eight yards Of
cord. To put the shelves together pass
the cord through the holes and tie a
good knot under each hole so that the
knot will not slip through. Get the
knots in just the right places to have
the shelves hang even. Begin tying
at bottom shelf and so up and around.
The shelves are nice if stained with
mahogany or cherry color. After stain
has dried varnish.

How to Train the Eyebrows.

Eyebrows may be trained more read
lily than is generally thought. If thin
and scrawny, make it matter of rou-

eyebrows do not lie smooth. gentle
brushing with the use of sweet oil will
soon coax them into order.

Little did the Jews understand the

event which Christians commemorate
on Palm Sunday. 1t will be remem-
bered that the incident occurred at the
close of our Lords ministry and
half years after his baptism at Jor

spent in rest at Bethany. Lazarus,
whom Jesus awakened from the sleep
of death, with his sisters Mary and
Martha, prepared for Jesus a banquet,
and when the Sabbath closed the sup
per was eaten. 1t was at that time
that Mary brought forth the box of

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET
sENSATIONALLY ACTIVE
The Selling Was GeneraLBig Break
In Prices.

New York, April 5-Tne cotton mar
ket was more sensationally active and
excited today than it has been at any
time since the elimination of the first
bull movement of the season and the
big break of last January. Selling
was general, and at the low level of
the day has showed loss of from
s515 to s5-s5 per bale on the active
months compared with the high
level reached in the market last week.
1t was the general opinion that the
break reflected the abandonment of
the bufl movements in May contracts,
during which there have been such
unusual developments as practically
simultaneous shipments of cotton from
New York to Liverpool and from Liv-
erpool to New York. These phenom-
email shipments, it is claimed. arose
through the efforts Of the bull party
TO reduce the local stock on the one
hand while those short of May have
been bringing cotton here from wher-
ever available IN order to protect
themselves against threatening cor
ner.
