Flower pincushions make attractive
articles for Fall bazaars and for Christ
mas gifts. Small pieces of leftover
textiles can be utilized. Washable ma
terials are excellent. They make SIM
pie cushions. Silks, YelvetS, etc, are
richer and supply q texture more sug-
gestdve Of petals. Canton flannel, for
cushions that launder, is just the thing
for centers. while velvet is recommended
for nom washable cushions.
The color supplies q hint as to the
kind of flower that is represented. For
example, a cushion with a brown CEN
ter and yellow petals is Immediately
recognized as a sunhower or a magni-
ned ox-eyed daisy. A yellow center with
white petals implies a field daisy. A
yellow center with rose-colored petals
indicates a rose. This flower is well
adapted to floral cushions, as it can
be made in any colors that are found
in roses.
The petals can be fiat (see illustra-
tom or they can be cut wide at the
base and be turned over toward the
front slightly making modelled petals.

September Is, 1854 great auction
sale of steamships and sailing vessels
which are no longer needed by the
Government since the termination of the
war between the States took place be-
ginning at noon today at the Washing
ton Navy Yard. Messrs, Wall u Com
pany, auctioneers, had charge of the
sale.
The Navy Yard was crowded with
shipping merchants and steamboat men,
as well as a great throng of spectators.
The sale was the most successful that
has taken place here since the end Of
the war.
The first vessel put up was The side
wheel steamer, John l.. Lockwood, ia
feet long. During most of the war this
steamer was on duty in Albermarle
Sound. The bidding started at $4,000
and was quickly run up to $4,000. She
was bought at that price by Mr.. Crossett
of New York.
The Alpha, propeller steamer used
on the James River in Virginia, mostly
IN Admiral Porters squadron, was
knocked off to MesSrs Brown and Malt
by of Baltimore at $500.
The fine side-wheel, sea-going steam
ers were sold as low as $50.
the blockade of Charleston, S. c.,
brought out spirited bidding and was
finally sold to M. o. Roberts of New
York for $4,000. This was the high
point in the prices of sthe day. Schoon-
ers was sold as low as 500.
AS this was cabinet meeting day,
President Johnson received no visitors
The only pardons granted by the Pres
ldent under the provisions of the am
neSty proclamation, were to James L.
Orr of South Carolina and Henry C.
Wagner of Georgia. Mr.. Orr is well
known in Washington, having at one
time been Speaker of the House of Rep
| resentatives.
Investigation at the Old Capitol
Prison today disclosed the fact that
there are now only about 20 prisoners
there. Only 10 of these are prisoners
of state-Wirz and Winder being the
most important in this class. The 9TH
ers are enlisted men under sentence of,
or awaiting trial by court-martial.
A handsome gold pen and pencil case
was presented to President johnson to-
day by Mr.. Stokes of Philadelphia A
similar present was made by Mr.. Stokes
to the late President Lincoln.

Weekly Manicure.

To keep your nails looking very nice,
you must give them a really thorough
manicure once a week. To do this
quickly and eficiently, get all your inn
plements together first, and have a
manicure system, which you must fol-
low accurately each time
Have a bowl of quite warm water,
with a little soap in It; a bottle of
bleach and cuticle Softener (the two
are usually combined together and come
in convenient little bottleS), a long,
flexible, fine steel file, an emery board,
an orange wood stick, one end wrapped
with absorbent cotton; a jar of cold
cream or cuticle cream (they are really
so much the same that I see no reason
for the extra expense use your face
cream. Then your padded chamois-
covered buffer, curved nail scissors and
perhaps some powdered pumice, with a
paste of a powder polish (the powder
kind is best) or, If you use tinted nail
enamel, the two bottles of this.
If you use enamel, of course the first
thing is to remove all trace of the old
tinted polish Wash the nails in the
bowl Of water, at least soak them a
minute and dry on an old towel, which
you must keep handy. Now file each
nail on one hand quickly to shape,
| clean under each, and smooth the edges

A Sermon for Today
Uncrowned Kings.

when Jesus perceived that they
would come and take Him by force,
to make Him a king, He departed
again unto a mountain alone."-
John, Wis.
What force could o little earthly
crown add to the power of Him who,
a few hours later, by q word stilled
the storm of the sea? What if they
crown on His head. How much do you
think 1t would have added to the
power and influence He Yields in the
world today?
When, in the temptation in the
wilderness at the outset of His public
ministry the devil sought to allure
Jesus from His spiritual MesSiahship
by offering Him the political kingdoms
Of this world and the glory of them,
He spurned the offer with indignation.
To fulfill His divine mission of redemp-
ton, Christ did not ask Of the world
throne and crown of gold. The
only thing He asked was cross and
crown of thorns.
Too often we imagine that our IN.
f1uence must necessarily be circum-.
scribed and limited to a narrow sphere,
unless the world elevateS us to posi-.
ton of eminence. We attach too much
to thrones and high positions, to crowns
and purple robes, to wealth and social
station, as instruments of influence.
Authority, dignity, honors, wealth and
station may put it into the hands Of
men to be more exemplary and more
useful than they could be in an OBJ
scure and private life. But iTdepen-
dent of these, it is possible for one so
to live and serve his fellow men as to
let loose in the world helpful and re-
deeming influences that will sweep
through the ages.
Not all kingly souls wear crowns.
And who can tell how much the world
owes to these kingly but uncrowned
souls? Never mind If Providence has
placed you among the obscure and un-
recognized. Get the spirit of Christ in
your heart, and you can be one of the
worlds uncrowned kings.

with the emery board. Use the bleach
and cuticle remover, for stains and
those ugly odds and ends of skin, wash
this of, dry the nails, and clip of any
bits of cuticle that remain, especially at
the corners of each nail. Rub cream
into each nail, and soak the other hand
a few minutes and repeat the process.
The cream is washed of, after the
orange wood stick has been used to
push back the cuticle around each nail.
And then the polishing stuff is used. or
else the tinted enamel is used. If it is
an enamel, you must not use too deep
a tint.
C. j. K-As your hair is dark brown
nothing would be gained by using a
sage tea on it OF darken the gray hairs.
Sage and sulphur change such hairs to
a light tan, and when the hairs natural
shade comes near to the lighter shades
of brown this method would be advis-
able, but / do not think it would be
worth your trouble to try it out. A
henna shampoo would give gray hairs
a deeper tan than sage and it need not
change the natural shade of your hair.
Mrs. G. j. K.-f you have any tend
ency to grow hair on the face, do not
use cocoa butter for massage.
While dieting for big reduction,
massage throat and face with any fine
nourishing cream, and give the skin a
thorough toning daily with massage.

Small Talk.

Making small talk is an art. It is
one of the fine arts and an important
art. 1t lubricates minds. 1t Grapes the
passing of time in pleasant colors.
The man who can come home at the
end of a day and talk to his wife about
an item in the newspaper or about
something funny that happened down
town, or about something that amused
or interested her, or about the neigh
bors or the neighbors' children, is much
more effective as a husband than the
man who sits around and is unable to
say anything.
Speech, of course, is silver and silence
Is gold. But some of us are spoiled by
the excessive richness of silence. Such
silence covers our minds with rust. The
wheels of existence do not turn so
smoothly, and sooner or later there will
be breakdown.
A complete overhauling may help,
but those who allow rust to accumulate
in delicate machine can scarcely be
expected to be good mechanics, capa-
bic Of Kidding the machine Of the &C
cumulated rust and getting 1t to go
again. In such a machine the bumps
will be very severe and unpleasant.
All the great minds of history and
literature have a faculty of browsing
ABOUT contenJedly IN the nelQS OF con-
versation and speculation.
Doves COO and the sound of their
cooling is very pleasant upon the ears.
1t even seems to act like tonic on the
hearts of the doves. We who listen do
not know what the doves are saying,
but that doesn't make much difference.
The fact that they COO is enough.
Only happy doves COO. Only happy
people know how to make small talk
Learn how to make small talk and you
have very good chance of being
happy.
Life is dull and drab If we do not
extract the sweets from 1t. Human
nature is essentially sweet If we do

our own fault and not the fault of

back and ran. Impy ran after her
Don't run away!" he begged. Don't

Little Miss Frisky seemed not to hear.
She lodged behind a big stone. Impy
hurried after her and almost ran into
her. There she sat behind that big
stone. once more they touched noses.
Once more little Miss Frisky ran and
Impy ran after her. It was like a
game. Presently, Impy noticed that
each time little Miss Frisky ran a
shorter distance. At last there came
time when after touching noses she
didn't run.
