FREKLAXD, DECEMBER 14, 1893.
Now that tlio holiday season is
almost upon us, tlioso who are unable
to properly provide for themselves
should be substantially remembered
by those who have plenty. There
are several poor families in town and
it would he a graceful act on the part
of our well-to-do citizens should they
take the proper steps toward alleviat
ing the wants of the needy. It pa; s
in the loug run to be charitable and
magnanimous rather than niggardly.
It is now pretty well understood
that the contemplated race between
the champion English and American
locomotives, that were exhibited at
Chicago, will not take place. Our
British cousins decline to join in a
contest in which they know, before
hand, they would come out second
best. So. 999, of the New York
Central, is said to have made speed at
the rate of 1121 miles per hour, ami
no locomotive as yet produced in
England has come up to that scratch.
One of the results of the distress
among the poor in New York city has
been the establishment by the Indus
trial Christian Alliance of a restaurant ]
which provides hot meals for the
nominal sum of five cents each.
There is a great deal of practical
Christianity in a hot meal; and it
marks such a distinct improvement
upon the meal of cold victuals that
tlio new movement should not lack
support.
Ihe revelation that Professor Tyn
dall's death was due to an unfortu
nate error of his wife, who mistook a
bottle of chloral for one containing
magnesia, should empahsize the de
mand for some device for the con
spicuous marking of vials that would
render such mistakes almost impos
sible. As loug as medicine bottles
shall continue to be made of uniform
size and shape the most careful per
sons will be likely to meet with such
deplorable accidents.
The sentence of twenty-seven years
imprisonment imposed on Friday by
Judge Clayton, of Chester, I'a., on
Thomas Bodgers, the youthful parri
cide, who in January last murdered
his father and attempted to kill his
mother and sister, was none too heavy
a retribution for a crime so utterly
revolting and atrocious. A nature
capable of such a deed is scarcely to
he tamed by any length of incarcera
tion-. but the community will at least
be guarded for a long term of years
against the the bl iud thirsty instincts
of so ferocious a creature.— llecord.
I 'uring last winter's football season
m (neat Britain from September to
March—there we re 20 deaths from
' accidents" in playing The previous
year had a death-roil of 22, and the
year before that 23. With the rapid
increase in public favor which the
game is receiving in the United
States, we may expect an equally 1
large death-roll of promising young 1
men each year. Those who are
directing the game should endeavor
to modify its gladiatorial features so
as to eliminate the chances of death
as much as possible. If the rules of
the game at present admit of fatal
chances, they should be changed.
Otherwise, the game will go down in
popular favor as rapidly as it came
up, and it will he relegated to tho
domain of brutalities rather than of
sports.
The Democratic members of the i
present congress will decide, to a
large extent, the fate of their party at
this session. If Wilson tariff bill
is allowed to be amended in any
direction, except to increaso further
its free trade features, the voters can
again be depended upon to overthrow
tlie cowards who will not follow the
platform upon which (hey were elect
ed. The Democratic party went
before tho people in 18112 with the
bold declaration that protection was
unconstitutional and a direct robbery,
and a failure on the part of its rep
resentatives in congress to stand by
the bill now before them will brin" a
defeat that would be deserved in the
elections next fall. Let them not be
frightened by the scare-crow utterings
of Republican organß or orators and i
such defenders of class legislation,
but do their duty in abolishing a
thievish syA em that is a curse and a i
drawback to American progress.
TABLE FOR INVALIDS.
An Unfailing Convenience for the
Patient and Nurse.
flow an Old-Fafthloned Light Stand Wan
Made Over Into a Valuable Piece
of Furniture—Go Hence and
Ho Likewise.
The following sketch from the House
hold shows how a large old-fashioned
light stand was made over into a con
venient and pretty table to stand close
by the side of an Invalid's bed, to serve
as a repository for many little conven
iences and necessities to which she
could often help herself if only they
could bo kept within her reach.
As there was no one "handy with
tools" to call upon, the nurse, who
knew nothing about wood-work, hur
riedly arranged the table herself, for
temporary use. Hut it proved strong,
stable and satisfactory in every way,
an unfailing convenience to its suffer
ing but self-helpful owner.
The following particulars regarding
its arrangement may be helpful to
others with similar needs:
The top of the stand was enlarged an
inch or two in width and several inches
\[ |Hi *
IMPROMPTU JNVALID'B TABLE,
in length at each side by the addition
of a smooth board top, which was se
curely nailed to position; this was cov
ered with tightly-drawn cream-white
rubber cloth, which was turned under
the edges and tacked around on the un
der side.
Into the under side of the shelf, close
to each table leg, was turned a strong
screw—almost, but not quite, through
to the upper surface of the board—so
that the heads projected like four legs,
each nearly an inch long. These little
legs dropped through and fitted closely
into the eyes of strong screw-eyes
which were turned into and projected
from the inner side of each table leg.
Being held in position in this way, at
fopr points, the shelf was as secure as
need be, and it almost doubled the use- j
fulness of the table.
A square, round or oblong shelf may
be adjusted to any four-logged stand
or table in this way. They make con
venient sewing or reading tables or
commodes.
At the end of the table, close to the
pillow, a row of roomy pockets were
| suspended by cords or ribbons from lit-
I tie brass screw-eyes, and, to keep them
from swinging out of place, each lower
corner was secured to a similar screw
eye inside the table leg.
Standing close by the side of the bed
every part of the table —top, shelf,
drawer and pockets—soon became in
dispensable. Water, medicine, fruit,
bell, handkerchief, napkin, fan, watch
or book, any or all, could be safely
within reach. The rubber cloth, im
pervious to water, could be wiped off
and made fresh and sweet, no matter
what might have been spilled upon it,
and the pocket linings, like rubber
cloth bags, could be turned out and j
cleaned at any time.
When the table was pronounced a \
success and a fixture it was made more
attractive and still more convenient by
the addition of back boards to the top
and shelf—see dotted lines—which,
like the rest of the woodwork, was
then given two coats of prettily-tinted
enamel paint, the brass drawer-pull
was polished and tiny ornamental
brass hooks were placed wherever they
were needed for the suspension or safe
keeping of any little article; wash silk
or linen scarfs were draped over the
back hoards, their fringed ends falling
gracefully at the sides, und the result
was a piece of furniture which was as
dainty and neat to look at as it was
convenient to use, which is baying a
great deal for its appearance.
Kiiwiiiß In the Public Nuhooln.
The course of study in sewing in the
lioston public schools is interesting for
nn amateur of sewing to consider. To
rctwi of "thimble, emery, scissors," set
off neatly us articles of study, and to
gaze upon a printed curriculum of
"basting, backstitching, overcasting,
hnlf-baclcstitching and combination of
one running and one-half backstitch,"
is to realize most intensely the ad-!
vantages Boston offers to her daugh
ters. In the fourth year are taught, I
among other things, stocking darning,
straight and bias felling, whipping
and sewing on ruffles, hemstitching,
blind stitching, tucking if not taught
previously, gathers overhanded to a
band, sewing on hooks and eyes and
buttons, eyelets, loops, and in the fifth
I year there; is a system of dress cutting
i by which girls are taught to take
| measures, draught, cut and lit a dress
waist.
To Note a Clever Woman.
The cleverest woman in the matter
of dress is the plain woman who con
trives never to let you know she's
plain. To be successful in this respect
one must have natural good taste. It's
no use to put one's self entirely in the
hands of a good dressmaker. Dress
makers need directing. They can't be
expected to know a customer's
weak or strong points as well as she
should know them herself. All women,
except those with hopelessly bad fig
ures and no throats, pay for dressing.
A gown is usually becoming if it is tho
same color as the wearer's eyes. A
bright bandeau under the brim of a
hat is apt to have an improving effect.
Mood taste is a thing to be thankful
for. Those who possess it are inclined
to value it too lightly. _
THE SENATE PAGES.
They Ilare Easy Duties and Get a Very
Good Salary.
Of the one hundred and ten appoint
ments under the sorgfeant-at-arras of
the United States senate, those of the
pages only can bo said to be non
political. No boy can be appointed a
page of the senate who is not twelve
years of age; and no boy can continue
as a page who is sixteen years of age
at the beginning of a session of con
gress. It is a lucrative position, and
few of the boys are not sorry when
their term has ended. Usually, four of
the boj's who are graduated from the
page's position at the beginning of a
session are appointed riding pages
Their selection depends on their
records for efficiency and faithfulness.
The page on the tloor of the senate
draws $3.50 a day during the session of
congress. The riding-page receives
$3.50 a day the year round, and has a
horse to ride. Ilis duties keep him out
of doors a great part of the time,
carrying messages between the capitol
and the departments. The position is
considered more desirable than that of
a page. Speaking of their work, the
Washington Star says: "The page's
life is a pleasant one. He must be on
duty at nine o'clock each morning, but
the serious business of the day does
not begin until noon, when the senate
meets, Before that time ho arranges
the files of the Congressional Record
and the bills and reports on the desks
of the senators who have been as
signed to him. There are sixteen
pages and eighty-eight senators, so
none of the pages has very much to do.
The morning hours are not all work
ing hours. There is a gymnasium in
the basement of the capitol, furnished
especially for their use. They exercise
their arms and their chests there every
morning; their legs get plenty of ex
ercise through the day."
THE WATERY WALTZERS.
An Amusfiraent Which Has a Tinge of
tlio l\lysfcrloiiH About ft.
There is nothing that so greatly en
lists the interest of the American boy
and girl as an amusement which has a
tinge of the mysterious about it. It is
our purpose to glean from the realm
of science and present suggestions for
such amusement.
In the present suggestion we will
utilize a new motive power, independ
ent of steam, electricity, weight or
spring, evolved out of materials so
readily found that it might bo said
they are already to bo had at hand in
every household.
Procure some cork, two needles and
some ordinary household gum camphor
—such as is used for moths. Cut five
pieces out of the cork, all of the same
FIG. 1. FIG. 2.
thickness, slightly larger and in the
shapes (one round and four oblong) as
shown in Fig. 1. Pierce the round
pieces of cork with the needles, so
that they will intersect in the center
at right angles, and fasten firmly on
each end of the needles the four ob
long pieces of cork. On one side of
each piece of cork thus placed—and al
ways on the samo side—fasten four
pieces of camphor of equal quantity,
as shown in Fig. 1.
Sealing wax will be found a good
means of fastening on the camphor.
Great caution should be taken in
having the hands, as well as the ma
terial used, perfectly clean, as tha
slightest amount of dirt will spoil its
efficiency. Now by placing this in i
water it will be found to revolve of its
own volition, rapidly for days in the
direction as shown by the arrow.
A very interesting and amusing toy
can be had by cutting out of this paper
two figures in the attitudo of dancing;
with the use of a pencil they can bo
made more effective in appearance.
Then fasten them upon the circular
piece of cork, as shown in Fig. 2.
These figures should bo made as light
as possible. If proper care is taken
you will thus obtain tireless, indefat
igable waltzers who will continue in
their lifelike movement for three days
1 at least.—Once a Week.
Aimmlng and Instructive.
Did you ever think that the same
syllable is often used in a great many
words? if not, suppose you learn it by
playing the following game: Write sev
eral words on a long slip of paper, leav
ing the space of half an inch between
the syllables of each word. Then cut
out the syllables, assort them, and let
each player draw three syllables at
random. From these three, or from
any two of them, he must try to con
struct a word. 1 f unable to do so he
must return two to the pack, and wait
until his turn comes again, when he
may draw thrco more slips and try
'* again.
