CLEVELAND IM Something like 851100. Nor is it a mad expenditure of time or labor, like tho pieced coverlids with 20,000 different 'blocks'' in them, nor the crocheted thing-i cf territie color and endless labor. Mrs. Cleveland's pick-np work is always something nimplo and vory ol'en it is for direct nnd prnctienl use, like tho lltting out of tho little lunch eon table in tho nursery, or trimming of tho big chairs, which the President fancies and into which he loves to sink when there is timo for a few minutes rest at homo. AN AUTISTIC C.IAm-BACK. Ono of tho prettiest pieces of work which Mrs. Cleveland has done since her return to Washington last March is a chair-bnek for one of tho old-time leopy-hollow chairs in which tho White House abounds. The chair it sol f was au old gray color which might one op Mils. Cleveland's rATfEiiNB. Lave onoe boon red, but which had failed und grown worn. But tho President found it comfortable, so Mrs. Cleveland sat to work to make it pretty, Tho first thing she did was to com mission friend to get her ft large square of the stuff known as "shaded denim," which comes in pretty tones of blue, yellow and rose. The friend elected rose, and then had it marked with a simple pattern of pink flowers. This, with many shades of red silk, was sont to Washington to grow into beauty under the deft Angers of the pretty mistress of the White House. When the pattern was all dono the equaro was lined with silk to give it firmness, and was finished with a oord of pink silk. ' A cover like this did wonders for a faded chair and reduced all to har mony of tint which easily passed for studied color. ' The New York craze for fine linen, Stitched or drawn or embroidered, has spread to Washington and is shared by Mrs. Clevoland, who has almost a pas sion for every little nioety in linen, whother it be a doily for the table, a cover for a toilet stand or one of the little round mats whioh are now placed under bottles of oologuo.oombs and brushes nud silver pin-trays. ridVRSD WITH VIOLBT8. Ono set of these little round mats . just completed is oalled a violet sot. Mrs. Cleveland made it while she was t Woodley. There are only three mats in the set and these are perfectly round as round as a sugar bos and about eight inches aoross. All rouud the edges of the mats there are violets embroidered and outside of the violets there is little triage of. the linea. Tho design is an old-fashioned one, a if string of violets hud ohftsed each other round the edtro of the cloth. There is no attempt nt grortplnj. These little mats were nil ironed on tho wronj side find wore iniule wash able by being shrunk before tho work was done. Like the late Mrs. Harrison, Mrs'. Cleveland works ft little in oils, but likn the Princess May, (the is bnckwnrd n'.iout showir her hnndiwork, nnil most of the products of her brash nro kept hidden in the boudoir into which few proplo nro invited to penetrate. A pretty little bit of her painting wns shown to friend just before she went to Cray (inbles. It consisted of ft glass top for ft dresser, npon which there were sketched pnnsioa, Mr. C'levelr.nds favorite flower, nnd ft vino of morning; g'.ori -s. Another cushion his tiny four-leaf clovers upon it, w.iich she has out lined to brin them into prominence, ft'id which seem to any "ibmd Luck" to the Mistress of the White House when her eyes full trioa them in mo menta of leisure. kitk.'tive itrrmAxirA, A rath-r elaborate lump shade is also nmon? Mr Cleveland's show pieces of work. It consists of pink and green and white hydrangea, firm ly fnstened npon ft frame of wire cov ered with pink silk. Around the edgo thers hangs ft deep fringe of lace of ft very linn pattern. The hydrangeas nr j of paper, but they nro very deli cately put together nnd more than of- irElt WINDOW BEAT. fective in the showy corner, which has been selected for a fcinnding place for tho lamp. It is said that Airs. Cleveland used to do n great deal of embroidery upon her own gowns, and that she even worked tho wreath of orange blossoms nnd leaves that bordered tho train of her wedding gown. However this may be, it is certain that sho can do very fiuo embroidery, although she seldom now has tho time for anything so elab orate as this. One of the prettiest things she has dono of lato in tho embroidery lino is tho outlining of a few large flowers upon the lapuls of a morning gown. Tho gown is of light blue silk and the lapels aro of rich carnival velvet. Tho flowers are n variety of the white lotus, done in rather bold fashion. Many of Miss Ruth's dresses nro stitched around the hem of tho skirt in bright and pretty wash colors. And tho stitching is almost always done by Mrs. Clevoland herself, while tho cloaks which Miss Kuth woars and which have so often enticed tho pen of paragTaphers, are outlined in white silk down each side of tho front, in big, careless flowers, which aro not only tho work but tho design of her pretty luamrua. A panel lor a lamp-shade, a small landscape scone for a chair back and several tiles for the dressing-table, are among the pretty littlo things which have been done since her marriage But of lata Mrs. Cleveland hag found tho growing caros of her little family too absorbing to permit of much work so particular as brush work, and so she has worked with the noedlo when the demands upon hur mado piok-un fancy work possible UEB SOFA CUSHIONS. There is one variety of fancy work of which Mrs. Cleveland's friends suy UBS. CLEVELAND S IiAKF, she is particularly fond. And that is the embroidering of sofa cushions. In the White House there aro tunny large windows, with deep window seats, and these Mrs. Cleveland has diaued. into luxury by piling tola cushions npon them and cushioning the seats, until they are as comfort able as possible. Like many of the artists who hare apartments in tho studio buildings in New York, Mr Cleveland chooses for sofa cushions Taney silks of nil kinds, nnd makes them fine by bringing out the figures in the silks until they look like richest broeados. One of her cushions recently com pleted she calls her "Irish cushion." It is of rich green silk with yellow harps, thin outlines wrought in red silk. Around tho edge there is a broad pulling of light green velvet. Tho Irish cushion is ndraired by every body and is Mrs. Cleveland's favorite as it lies tossed into roundness in ono of the sunniest windows of tho White House. Another cushion is all bright red. Mrs. Cleveland's part in making it con sisted merely in sewing the red cover npon tho cushion nnd in placing it where it wonld show to tho best possi ble advantage with a background ot overhanging palms nnd ferns. FANCY, woiik roit cEARrrr. It is said that Mrs. Cleveland docs a great deal of w.rk for charity fairs. Hut she is sly to nn nlmost painful de gree about letting her deed be known, even though the managers of fairs have often pointed out to her the very grer.t beneHt which would result if she would let tho work be sold as her own. But this Mrs. Cleveland will not do. Last winter fornfair which w.ishelii at Hherry's, New York, nnd which was for tho beneHt of tho poor children, many lovely littlo tidies nnd embroid ered table scarfs nnd lino sofa cushions were privately sold ns Mrs. Cleveland's work nnd bronght large sums, becanso they came from her noodle. Tho wife of the President of tho United States has less time for fancy work, or diversion of any kind, thau does tho wife of tho ruler of any other country. ' American independence de mauds that tho President's wife shall be iucluded in the President's publio life nnd shall fulfill many public duties. There nro receptions, "days," din ners and diplomatic entertainments without number, to all of which til l President's wife must go or give a sat isfactory reason for her non-attendance. But it is pleasant to know that, in tho midst of so much gayety nnd with so many calls upon hor time, tho President's wilo still retains enough of that which is domestic and homolike to snatch ft tew minutes from each day for tho use of so homely a littlo house hold implement as tho needle. Aug usta Prescott in Chicago KecorX Making Thimbles. In tho making of a thimble there are several operations, the blank pass ing into tho cup and then tho rolling on of tho band, says Hardware. Then the thimbles, which have assumed ft form warranting tho name, aro carried to tho factory proper, and after burn ishing tho moro interesting process of kucrling is performed. This knerling is the forming of the littlo indenta tions which receive the end of tho needle and assist in pushing the point through the fabric. Ihe cup is placed in a lathe and tho operator, with a yin0 6TACC, "VlX'SfCDSTACC suitable tool, kuerls tho end of tho thimble. During tho operation a peculiar nad by no means unpleasant mimical sound is emitted with varying tones. Tho point of the thimble being reached a flat knerlcr finishes tho side, and with a sharp-edgod tool the polishod cutting at the sides of the band is performed. Then on another lathe it is plaoed in a hollow block and the inside burn ished. All the oil and dirt are then removed, and the thimble is polished and made ready for the market. Thimbles are made of various metals, those of gold naturally being prized highly, while one on exhibition at the World's Fair, of colored gold studded with a band of forty diamonds, is fit tor a princess. A monstrosity at the same exhibition is a thimble nine inches high and seven inches wide, the maker having at ona time somo idea of teaching an elephant the art of sewiug. Pioayune. Bread Made With Soap, From a oommuuication read to th Association of Belgian Chemists, it seems that Continental bakers are iu the habit of mixing soap with thou dough to make their bread and pastry nioe and light. The quantity of soap used varies groatly. Iu f.uicy articles, like watHes and fritters, it is much larger thau iu bread. The soap is dissolved in a little water ; to this is added some oil, and the mixture, after being well whipped, is added to tho flour. Tho crumb o! tho bread manu factured by this process is said to bo lighter nud more spongy thau that made in the ordinary way. New York Dispatch.

How Battery M, Bth O. . Art , Went te Lry Tor uia. s WE did not a -like HI No, '-7C. MA J mnnt emphat ically, no. But what would you dot It was an order from the War De partment and that settled It. Ajl but any man whs serv ed in the army knows how we felt when this order came to dismount Battsry M. 6th U. 8., Art., and equip the men with gun and side arm. We were tn the service since beginning of the war, and most of the men had veteranized. We wero with the Sixth Corpi on msnjr occasion; especially wns this so at Cedar Creek, Oct. 10, 1804,whero our battery wss fearfully cut up. "The Cnnnonei r'' can vouch for this.IIo wt one of the boys, Tho battery was sent to Cmp Berry at Washington and we were finally dismounted nnd furnished with rifle, mde do duty around Wnshlnuton, until one nice Any we were ordered to N'ew York.

In Novenib-r.lSlii.aii order from tho Wnr Pe a tmei t r -ad as lo low. 'Ten mi n ol'c ieh volunteer company may enlist In tho Uoijuliir Army, the time served in the volunteer service to be deducted from tho three years." I was at the time in tho Lost Child ren, a Zouave regiment, lying In front of Yorktown. Thero were, besides my self, my brother nnl four Swiss boyi who went along insido tho fort and enlisted In Buttery M. Our ignorance of the English lan guage was here appsrent in not Includ ingour i x -Months' tervico in tho re maining three years enlistment.whero ly wo would have been discharged in June, 1804, Iu front of Petersburg, and we could have veteranized with a goodly bounty; whereof we now wero debarred, and our time was not up until November. Bo you may see how un fairly our Ignoianco was taken advan tiiie of. Of tho six to enlist in the battery there were now only thrco rem lining. In tho name of the three boys and my tolf I asked Lieut. Klnpp for our dis charge beloro leaving Now York, as wo only had nirne 13 or 11 days to serve and it would not be worth while to carry us all the way down to Dry Tortugus only to bo discharged on tho way or on our arrival thero. But no. Lieut. Klapp probably thought he could retain oursorvices for nnothc'"i li tncntandofcourit'hfo ug his duty in the interest of the Government, was not to blamofor refusing tho deinnnd. On tho afternoon of Oct. 19, 1804, we passed by our ho idquartcrs, tho band (ilnylng ou the ramparts nt Fort Kich mond lor our benefit, Thero wero three batteries, or what had been batteries, but now acted an heavy artillery, on board. I m not turu of tho other two, but I believe ilicy were Batteries D. and L. Any Ik w, everything went merry as a mar liaue bell at first. On the morning of Oct. 21, when off Capo Hatterat, a storm blew up which lasted for three days and which d d more damage to shipping than w known for years. Our steamer was now und not very "cranky," still, liko all sidewueol cU-amen, a fearful roller while lying to in the trough of the sea. I hid beon a sailor previous to my coming to America, so I did not care a picayune how much it blew or how much the vessel rolled. I had made my headquarters in Ice of the first cabin, nn deck. Tho rest of tho poor lads were chopped up and down in the fore hold and it was no pleasant place. What with tbo hatches battened down there was vory scant ventilation and light down there amongst 100 men, all tea tick. It wss fearful the swearing, raving, and, yes, a little, Tory littlo, prsyiug golug on. On the morning of tho 22d the storm grew in fierceness and our smokestack was wrecked, snd we had ft lively time to secure the monster, and before it was done two of the crew lost tbetr lives and an hour later tho Second Mate was knocked overboard by the stack broaking its moorings. Finally, toward evening,tbe blamed thing broke its moorings sgsln, and a big roller sweeplug the deck took it over bosrd and wrecked our starboard wheel before we could cut loose from the monster, who in the last flop dug a big hole In the ship's plankiug.snd we commenced leaking at a fearful rate. With the smokestack gone clear at the deck we could uot carry steam, as we had to cover up the opening of tho tack, which otherwise would have wainpcd us;our handpumpt were man ned, but it was bard work, snd we knew soon that tho wator was gaining on uii. It was a fearful night. On the morning of the 83d It was found, on sounding tho well, that the water could not bo stopped by band pumping. It was stosdlly gaining, and the Engineer told us we ware leaking at the rate of 8,000 gallons per minute; thst if do other remedy than tho pumps wore ud we would finally founder. tic advised the throwing ovcrboird of ill freight, snd wo succeeded In throw ing overboard some three or four hun dred tons of freight which brought the leak up out ofthe water, with only tho washings of tbo sea to overcome, and that wss no small item; but we finally got the upperhand. The storm having partially broke we removed tho cov ering from over tho smokestack, and a small force or steam was gotten up, iteam pumps finally got In their work, and with our one wheel, the port one, going against a helm tiard-aport we made headway like a crab. Toward evening on tho 23d a tug boat sighted us, hitched on, and final ly landed ns In Norfolk at 10 a.m. Oct. 24, 1803, the most God forlorn subjects yon could put you eyes on. By the time she was tied up at Nor folk wharf our men and officers and a few civilian passengers, gradually mado their appearance. A sorry lot they were pale, emsclated, unwashed, unshaven, with big, sleepy eyes and disarranged apparel. Now, me and my two Swiss friends' tlmo of service was up on the 2d of November. Another war steamer was sent for per telegraph to como and re ceive us, and try to land us on Dry Tort ii gas. I was not willing because of a few days more to undergo any more such experience whtro it was against all reason. We only had six days mors to serve. I went aft nnd had nn interview with Lieut. Klapp, In which he agreed to muke out our liliscliargej and final statements, but he wanted to sue us after wo had been up and got our money from tho Paymaster. We wi re very sure we had seen ser vice enough lor a while iinvhow, and this lst straw wns enough. Ho til it by the time we hail our tln il state ments cashed we went on board the boat for Baltlainro and the same even ing we bid farewell forever to Battery M without observing the ceremony of ft farewell call on our worthy First Liciiti'iiant. who surely will excuse this if it, by any chance, renches hit eye.
