SI& BED OF AN EMPRESS. Euiprean JoNephlne Slept In It During Her Uiieertnln lie Ik u ut Foil tu in e bleu u. Peculiar interest attaches to the luxu rious and beautiful bed, a picture of which accompanies this story, and for the reason that Empress Josephine slept in it while she reigned at Fontaiue bleau. The heavy curtains with their fringes and tassels, and the catafalque like appearance of the whole arrange ment are not to our taste to-day, but the Interest of the piece is intensely human. Indeed, the bed, which is still at Fon- EMPRESS taineblcau, is a simple piece of furni ture, and much less distinctive than sev eral other pieces which were fashioned during the epoch of the first empire. There are Roman fasces both at the head and foot, together with the pa terae and the gilded floral scrolls which are characteristic of the style of the day. The pillows have the wide apart stripes which are still a feature in the revived empire fabrics. While Josephine was in favor with Daintu Sachets for Daintu Women DAINTY sachets in great number and variety have made their appearance among this season's holiday gifts of the more simple type. Indeed, the present laney for them amounts almost to a craze. Handmade articles of almost any description may nowadays be bought at '.he stores, and this is a welcome fact to her who has not the time or skill or patience to make them. But girls who have acquired considerable pro ficiency with the needle, and even a fair amount with pencil or brush, may get up these very same things; and it is they who are always on tlie alert for new and attractive ways to test their skill. The Detroit Free Press describes the new flower sachets as daintiness per sonified. But, simple as they are, neat ness and precision are necessary for good results. These perfumed trifles make admirable Christmas souvenirs, and when sent aa 6Uch should be placed In a tiny box and tied with gold cord or with baby ribbon. They may also j (ft *vfy '" * V ' v / 112 M I' # * J '■ be used to accompany other gifts, such as handkerchiefs, corset-cove rs, arti cles of a trousseau, etc., and as whist, dinner and cotillon favors they are iu Ereat demand. Appropriate ornaments on an evening gown, they are abo for lingerie sachets —and may, in fact, be put to any purpose which an ordinary sachet can serve. The narcissus and pansy sachets here pictured require one-inch satin ribbon. The narcissus petals, of white ribbon, are cut nearly an inch and a half long, and the rounded portions, which end in very slight points, should start a lit tle past the middle of each strip. The square ends are then carefully turned under, preparatory to shirring. For the center a hit of ribbon half the petal's width is used. The upper edge of it must first be outline*! with a touch of yellow paint, or it may be closely over cast with yellow silk. The five petals and the center are then shirred together and fastened firmly to a tiny sachet, half an inch wide and about an inch long. It Is mtde of white satin ribbon, of course, and is solidly packet with sachet powder.

It ItuiiiN the Complexion nml I)lKe«- tton of Sweet Seventeen nu«l Doctor* Coll It Auemln. Health controls the complexion throughout the whole course oi exist ence, but perhaps never more palpably than about the age of 17. Anemia is the greatest enemy of a beautiful complexion that girlhood can encounter. It results in pallor, in blemishes, such as spots and blackheads, and in that general appearance of deli cacy that should be a complete stranger to youth. Unfortunately just about the age now under consideration girls are so busy over their books and so eager to excel in their school examinations that instead of aiding and abetting their elders to improve their anemic state, and so to alter their muddy and unat tractive complexions, they do all they can to further the inroads of weakness by working Indoors too much and stay ing up too late at nights. The anemic girl, whether she must work at her books or not, must be dosed with iron for months and months. It is the paucity of iron in her system that makes her lack of color in her cheeks. There are several well-known preparations of iron that will suit the sufferer, but it is always well, if possible, to consult a doctor as to the most effi cacious one to be had in pills and in so lution. Iron can be taken in pills for the sake of the teeth, and in solu tion for the sake of the digestion. But while one girl can take three pills a day, and in course of time even eight, nine or ten, another cannot take more than two in 24 hours. That is why a doctor's advice is so necessary. The more open air the anemic girl gets the more quickly she will overcome her weakness. She must live on fresh air just as much as on milk and fresh meat, and every other kind of nourish ing food. Not only must she take ex ercise in the open air. but her sleep ing hours must be supplied with it, and her sitting-rooms always have an open window in them. Rich food is not good for the anemic patient; indeed, the simpler the existence the better. —Cin- cinnati Commercial Tribune. IV li.v Kyebnll* Are White. The eyeball is white because its blood vessels are so small that they do not admit the red corpuscles. ideas as to color may be worked out. The design illustrated has the two up per petals of lavender and the remain ing two of white ribbon. A single strip of lavender and one of white —each a trifle less than three inches long, are used for four of the petals, the lower ono being tingle. The pansy petals are rounded consid erably. I'lace them as in the illustra tion, fastening to the sachet, and put ; ting in the center either with paint or embroidery silk. A wild rose is made j of pink ribbon and has fine crushed pet i als, rounded as in the other flowers, but i slightly indented at the top—somewhat | resembling a heart. The center is yel ! low. The larger rose sachet is used as a ' corset pad. A half yard of five-inch liberty satin ribbon, preferably pink or ! white, is gathered into five loops. Then a small center of green silk is worked | in, and from it are brought a dozen or I more stamens of brown and yellow em ! broidery silk, each ending in a small French knot. The rose is loosely fas tened to the tufted sachet-pad, measur ing four by five inches, made of rib bon and lightly wadded. A daisy may be fashioned on the same plan, in four inch ribbon, cither yellow or white. Two strips of ribbon six inches long are used, the petals shaped like those of the narcissus. The heart-shaped corsage sachet of white satin is to wear around the necU beneath one's lingerie. The rolled rib bon edge and bow make a pretty fin ish and it is suspended by a ribbon. This should be placed in a dainty heart shaped box before sending us a Christ ! mas gift. Another corsage sachet on i this order consists of two pads about ! two inches square with a small bow in the center of each. They are fastened Jto the ends of a strip of baby ribbon, j For the Japanese sachet, make of Jap j anese silk a bag two and one-half bv | thros inches, and in the top fasten a [ Japanese doll head. Around its neck a ribbon is tied, stock fashion. | The most popular sachet odors at J present are vandal xrood, orris and the | Japanese perfumes. CAMERON COUNTY PRBSS THURSDAY, JANUARY 14 HO4 NEW IDEA IN GATES. •lust tlie TIIIIIK f<»r Cuttle I'nmlnre* Where 11 Three-Wire Fence Confined tlie Stoek. The following is a description of a cheap and serviceable wire gate which j will be found satisfactory, especially in ( places where a gate is not often used, j It, of course, would not do for sheep or hogs, but will serve the purpose in ! cattle pastures, where a three-wire fence is sufficient to confine stock. Cut three wires each about a foot longer j than the distance between the posts, j and three short wires each six inches 1 long, torm the short wires into loops j and fasten to post (A), (B, B, B,) with j staples, the desired distance apart. |)P'o ? tQT 4; 1 - A STRONG WIRE GATE. I Hook the long wires (C, C, C,) into j the loops (B, H. B,) so as to form 1 hinges. Shape three boards each four feet long, as illustrated in D. Place a wire ratchet on each of these boards I ibout six inches from the end (Fig. j E, E, E,), attach the other ends of the long wires to ratchets. Nail an inch ! board (Fig. G) four inches wide, the | height of post to post (P). Nail an- j other board (H) on top of this over- j lapping the first an inch or two. Drive a stake (I) inside of wire : fence feet from post (F). Nail three pieces of boards (J) each four feet long, on inside of post (F) and ; also inside of stake parallel to wires. - Tighten up wires on ratchets (E, E, E,) sufficient so that when each of the boards (I), D, D.) are inserted into slot (H) and pushed back into posi ! tion against J the wires will be taut. Three rings, one for each pair of boards, slipped over the ends, hold 1 wires in proper position. If one would prefer four wires instead of three, an other one can be added. —James Cotter, in Epitomist. CONCRETE ON THE FARM. It Cnn lie I'ne<l Not Only for ('lnterna unci Floor* Itut for Fence I'oftt n AUo,. There is little excuse for up to date ; farmers wading around in the mud, j when concrete walks may be had around house and barn with a very small outlay of money, provided the man is handy and ;an do the work himself after a little in struction, says Rural New Yorker, lie sides the making of walks concrete is being used in many other ways advan ■ lageously and economically. During the past season we have seen fence posts made from stone and concrete that are much cheaper than the cut stone post, and just as durable. The plan of making :he posts was to dig down two feet into I the ground, or perhaps deeper in soft ground, and then make a box the size of post wanted which was filled with tlie concrete and topped out according to fancy. When hinges or eyes were wanted j for hanging gates holes were bored in | the box and the eyes inserted before the tilling was done, taking care to have I same anchored well in the post. A eon j grete floor is easily made in houses built of stone or brick, and renders a residence practically fireproof. We saw floors of j this kind made last season that seem to ;je perfection. A wooden floor is first j made of rough lumber and on this is | laid a wire cloth, in which the concrete is spread six inches thick. When it i Iries the wooden floor is removed and the concrete is self-sustaining. The convcrete is made by mixing togetiiei ; Portland cement, sand and coal cindefs. | It is said to cost but little mere than a | flrst-cla's floor made of wood, including | the joists. We have seen a number of j cisterns made out of concrete, no brick j being used for walling up. In making a cistern of this kind it is necessary to have a rough wooden wall made about | three inches all around from the dirt and fill in space with concrete. After | the wood wall is removed one coat of j cement completes the cistern, and it is j there for all time to come. The greatest I objection to iron fence posts is that they I are not solid in tho ground, being so j small. By using a bed of concrete and j the base of all iron posts set in it will be found that they will stand as well as any other post. Merino Iluekwlient for Stoek. There is a certain kind of buckwheat cultivated in Otseg-o county. New York, | which goes by the name of Merino I buckwheat. It is a little earlier than ! the other kinds, and can be sown any I time after spring work is done.
