A long thin design best on an article of this kind, looks as it spreads oyer th-J mnteriitl, inakiuz it look elaborate. , Draw the pattern on paper and transfer it to your good's by rubbing charcoal on the opposite sido of your drawing; lay the pattern nn the material to be ned, pinning it tirruly to prevent slipping, the char coal side of course be tig next to the cloth. Trace tho pattern with a sharp lead pencil. Lifting the paper, a faint outline will be soon. Trace over this with some bright lead (rod or blue is best), ao that the pattern will be plain, and not rub off. Do not make or stuff the cushion until you have embroid ered your pattern. Another way to make the design is to out the leaves and ttowers out of col ored materal, sewing thum on the goods, being careful not to show the stitches, tttill another pretty way is to embroider them on. This is a far less expensive way of obtaining thj design. These pillows may be made from almost any material. One of the prettiest was made of pale pink chins s'.lk;tho leaves weie cut from pale green silk and the flowers embroidered in pink, shading uiMrom red to white. Of course a pillow or cushion of this kind will come quite expensive. Tho side that is to rust on tho sofa can bo made from any lining that machos - s 0 DO DICES. the material used for the pillow. Place a deep lluuuco around the odge of the cushion. Bind the inner edge with silk curd, gathering the cord up at tho right comer with the tassels hanging down. Avoid stuillujr, the pillow too stiff. Cotton batting will be found tho best to use for this purpose. The.so pillows are placed at the head of the sofa nud are made either for use or crusment. If for ornament, the pilMw will look better stuffed full, but if for use it will be found much more comfortable if soft aud lisht. New York llecoraer. THE WHITE LADY. Whito was never more in voae.

AflAtN, One result of tho new fussy styles in skirts is the revival of -e post of "skirt-trimmer." Once thi-j individual was a porsou of great importance iu all dressmakiug establishments, and commanded good salaries. For uoarly five years she hus lueu kept iu the background with really little to do outside tho field of evening gowns. Now she will come to tho front again. To bo a good skirt-trimmer is not at all easy, and a woman with the train ing aud plenty of bright ilea and fancies will find a market for all she can devise. Ht'XnONNCT mcDivivci.

HUNTKK OK COSTA HICA AND 1IIKIK QL'KKK DOUS. Voiceless Canines That Must De Taught to Ilarlc-How the Jaguar and Pimm Are Hunted. "T; HEY'VE got the queerest dogsdown in Costa llica you ever heard of," said Harry . . T " ' . I. sOTne,OlljVCOIlllI18 comity, Pennsylvania, who spent several years in the tropical country with an engineer corps. "When they are grown they're about the size of a shepherd dog, and look as if they were a cross between a wolf and a fox. They are of a light yellow color, and slouch along as if they suspected every one they met of having a tin can ".nil intentions of fastening it to their tails. TLo queer est thing about the Costa Hie dogs is that if they live to be a thousand years old they can't bark unless they arc taught while they are puppies. "They have to teach those dogs to bark down there just as some ca nary birds have to be taught to sing. When the pupa are a couple of weeks old the Iudians every person down there is an Indian, so called take them ami either put them with a dog that has learned to bark, so that they can hear him and imitate him by de grees, or bark the less ms t tho pun pies themselves. Tho lstter is the surest and most satisfactory way to teach a Cost llica ilo ; to bark, be cause a dog down there that bus mas tered tho voico that is natural to dogs elsew'ro may not take it into his hes-iieir rk once in six months, and if a puppr en't receive uny lessons in voice culturo before ho is six months old he will be mute all his life. So tho Indians usually make suro that their dogs shall bark, by givinj the puppies lessons themselves. 'The funny thing abo-it teaching those young dogs that they have a voice is that their instructors 'an teach thorn to bark in auy toao. The eager puppy will imitato th' sunn I his In dian teacher emits, no matter whether it is a deep iiss, a mellow baritoti", a plaiutivo falsetto or a fiendish stiriek or yell in no tone at all. "So you 3au well unv-ine tint a family of Costa Uican dogs tr.tiuod to sing after tho varied meth Is that tho whims or inclinations of their tenehers dictate, may be able to give a concert on a moonlight which would startle a stranger when he lirst heir I it. "i3ut these dog are very uecssmy things to tho Indians, tho most of whom add materially to their meagre incomes by hunting tho jaguar au I the putnj. Thoy don't have any bear down there; and I felt real lonesome LSU11'1 1 Uait nm ?uar Hunt, ana W&rTlSrfiie1ll 3 I ."J J puBiftl felt very much at honJt. The jaguar is a sort of tiger, and the puma is a genuine panther. "You might take all the bears thorj are in my native Pennsylvania wojds and there area good many of thorn there yet, I can tell you And boil their ugliness aud cusseduess down int ono strapping, ripping, Turing bear, and that bear would be ns hum ble and gentle as a lamb c .mipsred with au ordinary Costa Idea j,'uror pinna, with only its own share of eu sedness to help it along. 'The Costa Uioau Indians never use guns iu huuting the daugjroiis and destructive jaguar nu 1 p i n i, and that is becausu their sucest irs di lu't huut tho game with gnus. T ho jamr or puma hunter is called a tigrero, and if the jaguar is tho object ut tho chase the tigreros hunt in pairs. O.iu of tboin carries two short spears one six feet long uud tho other four feet long. His companion in the huut carries a big knife, or rather a wtMpou like a butcher's cleaver. The tigrero who carries tho spears walks in front, following tho dogs. Tlu In liau with the cleaver brings up tho rear. All ho has to do is to bo uu hau I iu cao of emergency. "As soon as the jag.iar fin Is tho dogs are on his track ho makes it his invariable business to turn uud co'ii.; back on his track, not became ho wants to meet tho dogs, for he pays no more attention to them than if they were so many tlies. It is the Indian meat ho wauts, and he seoius to know that tho dogs wouldn't lu there if there watu't an Indian or two with thoiu. Sj tho jagusr hurries back with tho expectation of dining nu a tigrero, and he does not hesitate to let the tigrero know that ho is coming. Ho roars ut every bound ho maker, and the roar is enough to scare to death the biggest bear that ever lived in tho Kittle Crook country or parts adjacent. "At tho first roar of tho jaguar the tigrros stand still aud wait for him. The dogs, haviug done all that was required of them iu uotifyiug tho jaguar that a couple of tigreros were lookiug for him, lie down an I go to sleep, and tho jaguar might stop all over them for all they'd care. "As soon as tho tigreros see the jaguar the hunter with the long spear kueols down. Ho thrusts the loug spear straight out with oue baud aud holds the short oue in tho other baud. His oomunuioii stauds iiour him with the cuoppiug kuifo or cleaver raised. The juguar doesu't know uuything about spoars or cleavers. All he sees iu the situatiou is a pair of greasy Indians whom ho expects to feast uu, He doesu't oven pause on his way, but when withiu tweuty-tlve or thirty feet of the tigtero he lifts himself from the earth by one mighty bound, aud shoots like a meteor through the air upon his supposed victim. The jaguar uiuoty-nine times out of a huudrod sprtugs with his foielegs wide apart, his great breast fully exposed. As he tlies through the air he thrusts his itu ineuee claws from their velvet sheaths. and hooks them rrvl.r to t?r tJ p'.cjes inlan(ly the object he strikes. . "Uut it is seldom hn fcinks these claws in a tigrero. ,Tlro wary nnd agile Indian hunter rarely fails to im pnlo tho tierce beast en Jus long spear, tho lsnco being held Vj that it strikes the jaguar's breast Sf comes out bo tween its shoulders. "If by some mishap that long spear fails in its work th- short one is buried as quick as n flash in the animal's throat, and is aimed with sncji pre cision that the jugular vein is almo-d always severed the first time. If both spears are of no avail against the jaguar's savage assault the gentleman with the cleaver takes a hand in and buries his keen and heavy blade iu tho beast's brain. Then the tigreroi call tho dogs, and the dogs slouch lazily up and smell and sniff at th" dead jagnar. Ibit they neither growl nor bark, nor give evidenco of nny resentment toward tho big foe.
