_' ::g FLOWER DECORATION. How an Ugly and l'laln Old House Can He Made Pretty. TThe fashion of decorating' the outside of our town houses with growing'plants has been greatly on the increase of late years, and many of the newest and handsomest residences are now being* built with outside stone jardinieres and balconies intended Expressly for flow ers and ornamental shrubs. In the country, however, the gardens and flower beds have hitherto received all I the attention and only cut flowers are, as a rule, used for decorative purposes ! about the house itself. Many charm- ! ing effects in color can be easily pro cured by a little clever window and roof gardening, all the care that is ! necessary after the first planting being to see that the plants are plentifully sup plied with water. Flowers will grow and bloom in the greatest profusion in restricted quarters, always provided j that they have an abundance of air and light. Even an ugly house may have an attractive exterior if windows and j verandas are decorated with flowers. A plain old farmhouse may be made rjuite beautiful with a very little trouble by having a shelf with wooden tickets placed under each window, on shelf is nailed a wooden box filled with earth and planted with scarlet nasturtium seed. If the shelf and box and brackets are all painted prreen they will amalgamate with the foliage and be quite concealed in a very short time. Care must be taken not to fill the boxes too full with earth, I an account of rains washing over the ! iirt, and with a painted house perhaps t would be better to have a tin pan inder each box to hold the drippings, vhich can easily he sponged up now j ,nd then. Mignonette grown in this ; vay will perfume a whole room when i he window is opened; and will make a Dvely effect if trained on a rustic rellis work around the window. The ccompanying illustration of the Eliza ethan lodge gate of a big country lace, decorated in the manner de- I cribed, will give an idea of the possi- ' ility of decoration in this direction.— L Y.

There are many things necessary owadays for the up-to-date toilet table, nd of the requisites, which, fortun ' W. can be procured without expense r trouble is a jar of salt —common ] ihle salt, and it is a panacea for many j Is.

For piazza use, at a seaside cottage, where sunshine and sea breeze abound, nothing can exceed the appropriate loveliness of "the sea dragon pillow." It is made up in the usual size, 18 inches by 18 inches square. The cover ing is of sea-green satin, that pro mtlDAL AND LAUREL PILLOWS. duces in effect the very sheen of the water in sunlight. The design upon the face of the cushion is a sea dragon drawn in ex quisite curves and sweeps, and wrought in silver and gold Japanese cord couched down with white and yellow silk thread. The embroidery sparkles and glints from the green background. I A 5-inch double ruflleof the satin, over- I set with a 4-ineh fall of fishnet j spangled in silver and gold, completes I the tout ensemble. This design will i recommend itself in cheaper stuffs, I green crepon or denim, at 15 cents a | yard. The dragon or a fish net and little fishes afloat in water hues, may be readily drawn upon the material and worked in in Japanese gold and silver cord aud couched into place. ! The laurel wreath design is made of dark, rich green satin, knotted together I at the base by means of a brown velvet bow-knot. Tho design is cut out and appliqued upon a background of changeable velvet, which serves as the face of the pillow. Tho pile of the velvet is the dainty gray tint of freshly burned ashes, while beneath it gleams a cherry red color, suggestive of tire flame. The entire design is edged with tiny gold cord, couched into place with yel ! low silk thread; a heavy gold cord edges the cushion, with distingue ! twists in the cord at tho corners. It is j backed with somber brown satin. J This design would be very lovely made up in linen duck, with the wreath embroidered in green, or it might still be appliqued in satin, as the satin is so like the gloss of the actual laurel leaf. In applique work tho design should al- I ways be backed by stout muslin, cut out carefully, and thoroughly basted j upon the background about tho edges, then hemmed down firmly with self col ored sowing silk, and lastly overset ! with the cord, couched at regular in tervals, smoothly and evenly for hand some effect. A blue denim pillow with this design wrought in white embroidery cotton DRAGON DESIGN. and finished with a heavy white cord, makes a durable and attractive pillow covering. The siesta pillow, to be used in the hammock and indoors, for the invigor ! ating "forty winks" that restores the pink to the cheek and comfort to tho , nerves, should have a cover made of i material that will readily launder. | The covr should he left open at one side and furnished with tiny button i holes and little llat lace buttons, that ! will fasten beneath a blind hem, under fluffy voluminous ruflles that will ! wholly conceal the opening, j Gay bandanna, with yellow, pink and ; delicate blue predominating in the bright plaid, will make serviceable and inexpensive covers. White dimity nnd flowered chintz will prove even fresher after a visit to the waslitubs than at | first. The fourth, suitable for a wedding gift, is of heavy white satin, the linked hearts worked in silver. Lace and satin frills encircle this charming pil low for a bride, and at one corner is caught with a knot of white ribbons and cluster of orange blossoms.—N. Y. World. Hint Almut Cooking Rhubarb, Not everyone knows that rhubarb | can he fts easily cooked in the oven as !on top of the stove. Cut the rhubarb i in half-inch lengths; do not peel it. Put it iu an earthen pudding dish. To a dozen moderate-sized stalks add two cups of sugar. Cover the rhubarb with a plate nnd set in a moderately-hot oven. Let it cook in this way for about one hour. If it is rich, juicy, red rhu barb, it will not be necessary to add any water, as the juices will draw out of it fast enough to cook it in. Tarts made of rhubarb cooked in this way arc especially nice, covered with a thick | white meringue. _ They Coat More Than Versea. The poet smiled sweetly. "My darling," he said, "I am sure you will find it 'ar lovelier than any other hat you will see, either at church or on the street." With these words he handed his wife the gorgeous epic he had composed with many hours of labor. Living apart from the world he but knew from hearsay that the most fash ionable bonnets were poems this year. —Detroit Tribune. At Last.

P. M. ARTHUR, chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, has sailed for the old country. lie will stay six months, and visit his birth place in Scotland. It is his first vaca tion in twenty-five years. ABRAHAM RIMES, of La Port/", Ind., has secured a divorce from big tenth wife, who, it transpires, was his first bride. After being divorced frota her the first time he married eight times before he was again wedded to her. A SON of Sir Robert Ball, formerly the astronomer royal for Ireland and now professor of astronomy in the Uni versity of Cambridge, is working in the shops of the Louisville & Nashville railroad at Louisville. A VERY wise head rests on the shoul ders of Uncle Bill Safety, a colored gardener, of Birmingham, Ala. He says: "I works de white folks' gardens in March, an' 1 don't work my own gar den till April; an' den I sell dese same white folks their first vegetables." DR. RUSH was the only physician who signed the Declaration of Inde pendence. Eleven years agon fund to erect a monument to his memory was started in Washington. Only $11.094.39 has been contributed of the 920,000 needed. MRS. NELLIE GRANT SARTORIS has given up her house in Washington. Her marriage to Gen. ICyd Douglass, which, notwithstanding all denials, is confidently expected to take place soon, will probably be very quiet. It is now thought that it will be cele brated at the home of her brother, Col. Fred Grant, in New York. SPORTS AND PASTIMES. BICYCLISTS can enter Hyde Park, London., only before ten o'clock in the morning, and after seven in the even ing. IT has been computed that in Great Britain there arc two million dog own ers and twenty thousand exhibitors and breeders of dogs. IT is announced that nn eagle meas uring from tip to tip of wings seven feet eleven inches has been captured iu the Island of Bressay, Shetland. WIIKN adjusting the bearings of a front wheel, lye sure you fit the shoul der of the spindle properly into the hole in the fork end before screwing the nut up tight. A LEAGUE lias been formed in France to assert the rights of pedestrians against bicyclists. The members agree never to get out of the way of a bicy cle; they think that in case of collision the cyclist is sure to get the worst of it. KISBER, winner of the Derby in 1870, and the only Hungarian horse that ever won the raco, has died at Brunswick. After losing the St. Lcgcr his owner sold him to the German government for stud purposes for one hundred and fifty thousand marks. BICYCLISTS, when compelled to rido with one leg, will find it a good idea to take off the crank on the side not in use and rest the foot on the bracket. Much more power can be put into the pedaling in this way, than if the foot is put on the rest or the top of the crown. FADS OF THE WOMEN. Miss PAULINE ABTOR inherits from ner mother a lace dress which cost twenty-eight thousand dollars in Paris. It belonged originally to her grand mother. LADY IIARBERTON, inventor of the livided skirt, has a new fad. She con tends that female servants should wear Knickerbockers, as such costume facil tates movements. MIPS ROSE CLEVELAND, sister of the president, has recently returned from a European tour. She is gray haired and has a pleasant face. She is rather .lout, but her taste in dress is excel lent and she is invariably attired ac cording to the latest fashion. MRS. WILLIAM MYERS died near Dan ville, Ivy., recently. She had long wished to have false teeth, and when lying requested that the teeth be at tended to after death. Accordingly, the family sent for a dentist, and a set >f teeth was prepared after death. POLITICAL ASPIRANTS. COL. A. L. CONGER, the Ohio politi cian, is of opinion that "ex-President Harrison is just as much a candidate for the presidency as Gov. McKinlcy, Thomas B. Reed, or Senator Allison." SENATOR ALLISON positively assures his friends in Washington that he has io presidential aspirations and cher ishes no hopes in that direct ion. lie is a candidate for reelection to the sen ate. ONE of the best dressed women iti Kansas is said to be Sirs. Mary Lease. She appeared the other day on the itrocts of Atchison, according to a local chronicler, in "fashionable spring gown and a lovely bonnet." GEORGE GOULD is said to have aspira tions to represent Ocean county, N. in the state senate, with a view to the reversion of the seat in the United States seuate now held by James Smith, Jr., the political agent and rep resentative of the sugar trust and vari ous protected monopolies. THE AUTHORS. MB. R LTD YARD KIPLING, it is an nounced, is on the point of returning to India—not to live there, however. MIPS M. E. BRADDON will write two more novels to complete a contract, and then retire from literary work. MARK TWAIN has lost almost his en tiro fortune through unfortunate in vestments. He lost over two hundred thousand dollars through the failure of one American company. MARY E. WILKINS, tho story writer, is a very reserved and quiet woman, who converses little and is more com fortable when allowed to shyly sit uud listen to others talking. THREE SIMPLE DESIGNS. Valuable Hints for Lall-s Who Diiiight In Dainty Linen. A fine quality of linen will be found a good body material for both lar • and small doilies. Seven inches square is a I good size, and to make it cut a piece of i linen eight inches square. I The Uowers may be worked in outline j stitch or solid with two shades of blue j silk. The leaves are to lie green and | the steins a darker shade of green or a | light greenish brown. | When working small flowers do not use a coarse grade of silk or linen floss as it forms a ropy appearance on fine linen and stands out too prominently instead of lying flat as all line embroid ery work should. The design for a pretty linen doily having a spray of maidenhair fern em broidered in one corner is shown in the illustration. As it is simple to work I out, any clever girl should be able to i make one or a number of them in a short time. The fern leaves may he worked solid | with a shade of delicate green, while, the vines and stems should be indicated with a darker shade of green to lend a contrast. After the design has been worked the ; fringe can be made in the following manner: A short distance from each edge draw a few threads and work a line of hem stitching. ltavel out the threads from j the stitching to the edge of the ma terial, at each corner catching a few of the ravelings to form more threads. To make them lie nicely around each cor ner place the doily flat on a marble seat or on a board and with a stiff brush smooth the threads out, then with a ! small sharp pair of scissors trim off the ends of the t breads. Take care when working the fern leaves and stems not to draw the threads too tight, as it will cause the linen around them to pucker; this will occur slightly in any case, however, hut can be remedied by washing the doily after the work is finished. One of the most attractive features of a large piece, such as a lambrequin, scarf or tabic cover, is its border, and particularly if a pretty design and nice ly worked. A neat and very simple running bor der to work is shown in the illustra -.P / p [f &jij THREE SIMPLE DESIGNS. tlon. and in design it may be classed as rennuissance. A corner is shown, also, in the draw ing, so you may not be puzzled to know how to form one. This design is adapted to a scarf, a mantel lambrequin, a bed spread, or to the edge of any large piece that is too large to work a design in the middle of. On white linen this design looks well worked with a delicate shade of salmon pink silk or rope linen. When transferring a design, such as a running border that has to he re peated, care should be taken to have it appear evenly along the edges of a piece of goods.—llarry Adams, in Chicago Inter Ocean. NEW LAMP SHADES. Simplicity Almost to the Point of Severity Now the i unliloti. The over-elaborate lamp shade has had its day. Fashion now decrees a shade simple to severity, whose con tracted dimensions are in quaint con trast to the wide-spread flounces and furbelows of its predecessors. Tho new shades are of paper or silk plainly drawn over a smooth surface, and are hand painted. They are finished at the top and bottom with a prim quill ing of narrow satin ribbon, and look '> precise and Quakerfled to a degree, { after all the laces, chiffons and flower wreaths which have clustered about lamps for the last few seasons. Many are made to button up at one side, so that they may he taken off and either rolled up or laid out smoothly when it is desired to pack them. Some of these shades are etched out in black and white, and have old prints of French gentlemen and ladies as their only dec oration. The most gorgeous are out- j lined in silver, as well as hand painted, but a demure unobtrusi veil ess charac terizes them all. It is customary now for house fur- nishers to order a lamp shade made of the same material as the wall drapery, I curtains, upholstery, or other appoint- | ments of the room in which the lamp is to be used, but the material is drawn down in rigid flutes to fit the shade and finished at the bottom with only a liar* j row gimp.—N. Y. Sun. For tho Hummer Cottage. In seeking material for refurnishing the. old or for decorating the new cot tage there is nothing which fills the , bill so completely as denim, ft comes in shades the tones and tint s of which rival the beauty of the most expensive art fabric. Manufacturers seemingly have realized the great possibilities of this durable cloth and have added to their stocks several new weaves which are elaborately designed in geometrical figures or arc Japanese in effect.
