PRETTY FANCY WORK.
now to Make n Charming Silk Case ami
Scissors CliatHain.
A convenient contrivance to hold em
broidery scissors at one's side is made
like t he accompanying* illustration. One
yard und a half of ribbon, somewhat,
less than an inch wide,about two dozen
of the brass rings, u safety pin and a
patent hook are all the necessary ma
terials. Finish the top with a bow,
tinder which is sewed the pin as indi
cated by the stitch, for a fastening to
the belt, run the ribbon through the
rings, crossing tlieni and putting the
ribbou in the space between; sew the
hook on the lower end, slip through the
handles of the scissors, bring it back and
fasten it to the next lowest ring on the
tinder side. If desired the rings may be
crocheted with silk to match the rib
bon, and the more rings used the tinner
will be the bolder. Some scissors ore
always disappearing, but with this at
tachment they arc always at hand.
These two cuts show a simple and
pretty gift for handy fingers to make,
and one which will prove its usefulness
in the testing.

Ing to the left side; in like manner paste
to the inner side of one of the satin
covered pieces other ribbons so slanted
as to cross each other, extending to the
right side.
Now lay tlie reverse pieces on each,
turning under the ribbons at the edges,
pasting the parts together, and when
complete you will find you have a set
of hinges which will work either way
like a swinging door, and the ease will
open from either side. In other words,
the ribbons should be attached to each
cover only nt the places in the UI list ra
tion indicated by the cross (X).
In one side slip a piece of tine, white
flannel, pinked at the edges, for needles
and under the crossed ribbons on the
other put one of the vnri-coloredsilkoi
thread glove-menders so much in vogue.
If neatly executed this will make an
extremely dainty gift, and tlie little pe
culiarity about the hinges will puzzel
the uninitiated and enhance the value

THE BLOUSE WAIST.
In Kplte of Determined Opposition It Is

Although writers, importers and
modistes have condemned the blouse
waist, it continues to thrive and ajv
pnrently gain by its condemnation. It
certainly lias not disappeared, for at
recent high class dress exhibits it was
one of the decided features of the ele
gant and wonderful display. Fitted
nnd draped blouses in silk, satin, chif
fon, lace, Indian muslin, velvet and
brocade were uiriously shown. The
blouse, once chiefly recommended for
its economy, is now n costly confection.
Once it was merely anil strictly used
for neglige costumes, r.ow it uppearsat
tiie most fashionable evening functions,
worn by I lie most fastidious, and made
of tlie most expensive textiles; nnd
granted that its vogue in this domain
will be short and that the blouse has
really become too general to be elected
for by the very particular ones of so
ciety. still its trimness. usefulness,
freshness und adaptability will prevent
it from going out of vogue, oi at least
out of very general use. Fltrnfashion
nblc women may possibly abandon it
after this summer, but for cool, neat
wear under the jacket of a traveling
costume, for tennis, boating, golfing,
cycling and indeed all simple uses,
what can take its place? —N. Y. Post.

TO COOK CORNMEAL.
When Properly Prepared It 1h it Healthy
Article of Food.
Women have always been more or
less willing to show their skill in mak
"ng cake and fancy desserts, but it is
only recently that they have appreci
ated the value of good cookery. The
simple, every-dny things are usually
considered of the least importance, and
entirely neglected. Even the cook
books give little, nnd some no informa
tion, about the tilings everybody should
know. Among these is cornmcnl. When
it is properly prepared it is a healthy
article of food. Hut as it is often cooked
it is indigestible and unfit for even a
strong stomach. The usual way of
making eornmeal mush, for instance
is to stir the meal, without measuring
it, into boiling water until it is thick,
nnd when it has cooked five or ten min
utes it is done. By this process it ; s
hard and raw, nnd wholly unfit to eat
It is surprising how much it is improved
by a little extra cooking, and it can be
made a delicacy with very little trouble.
Take one quart of water, add one
teaspoon of salt. When it boils stir in
slowly one cup of yellow coramenl. Let
it boil for ten minutes, then set it back
on the stove, where it will cook slowly
and not burn, for one hour, stirring
occasionally. Pour into a mold and
let stand over nigh*. In the morning
it will be firm enough to slice well, and
when it is dipped in grated bread
crumbs and quickly fried it will be a
pleasant surprise to those who have
been accustomed to eating it the old
fashioned way.
Corn-bread, or "Johnny cake," as it
is often called, is greatly improved by
the following directions:
Put the milk that the recipe calls for
on tiie stove, and when it is hot stir in
the eornmeal and let it cook for ten or
15 minutes. An easy way to prevent it
from burning is to set the dish on nr.
asbestos pad. This extra cooking re
moves the raw taste of the meal, and
greatly improve® the flavor of the
bread, besides making it entirely di
gestible.—Chicago Tribune.
COZY CORNER SEAT.
How tho Homo May He Beautified at a
Trifling KxpniNe,
There need be no ugly, uncomfort
able corner in any room when such
a cozy seat as the one Illustrated can
be constructed. A few boards nnd some
pretty denim is all that is necessary.
Why not construct such a corner when
tho house is cleaned? A broad scat
rests on wedges nailed to the walls, n-ol
more than 15 inches from the floor. It
can be finished in front by a prettily
carved or decorated board painted to
harmonize with the other woodwork,
or a curtain or valance may be shirred
across und tacked with brass-headed
tacks and will look equally as pretty.
The seat, as can he seen, does not
reach buck into the corner and the
board forming the hack extends about
two feet or more above the seat-. The
top makes an excellent place for the
display of a handsome vase or orna
nient. The sent is mode comfortable
by a thick, soft cushion on top, fastened
securely, and three downy pillows are
placed against the walls and ure not
held in place by fastenings, but accom
modate themselves to the comfort of
I lie one using them.
With a rug placed before it and a
table laden with books and a lamp, no
cozier nook could be wished in which

SONG.
A robin sang;
The dull world awakened from Its sleep
Cast off Its robe of winter sadness;
Tho leaves from bondage 'gan to peep,
The brooks overflowed in Jolly madness;
All nature listened to the warning,
All laughed with glee in springtime's morn
ing,
When robin sang.
A poet sang;
It was a song that reached the heart
Of many a man, of every woman.
It was tho fruit of perfect art,
It showed a power divinely human,
His name was known to all; and then
Fame on her tablets wrote it, when
The poet sang.
A mother sang;
Two little eyelids blinked and drooped,
And bright curls nestled on her breast,
Contentment's bounty richly trooped;
Sweet innocence found loving rest.
The slumber fairies tiptoed near,
And all the angels stopped to hear
When mother sang.

HIS KEFOEMATION.
BY HAROLD P. NICKERSON.
Henry Dyson was alone in his little
office at the back end of his place of
easiness. The hour was late, and all
his employes had gone. Mr. Dyson was
a pleasant-looking* mau of about 35 or
40, and his fellow townsmen frequently
|K)inted to him with pride as a self-made
man.
Hut, while everybody had a good word
for Henry Dyson, very few people spoke
well of his brother, Tom.
On the night our story opens the mer
chant was waiting for Ids graceless
brother, and as the hours rolled on the
frown on his face grew deeper.
"I can- do nothing with Tom," he said,
as he paced the floor impatiently. "I
have given him every possible chance,
but he grows more idle und dissipated
every day. Perhaps I ought not to wait
for him, but he was so urgent in his re
quest for an interview to-night that I
could not refuse. Poor fellow! What
new trouble can he be mixed up in?"
The front door opened and a young
man entered quietly, and, after a furtive
glance round the store, proceeded to the
oftlce.
"Well, Tom?" said Henry Dyson.
"I am here, you see," replied Tom.
"I suppose," said Ilenry, "it is useless
to ask why you are so late or'where you
have been during the last two days?"
Tom looked nervous and his eyes fell.
"That is neither hero nor there," he
answered, in a swaggering way. "I
have had some business of my own to
look after, and I knew that you were
not short of help in the store."
"Well, what is it?" asked Henry, ab
ruptly.
"Brother," Tom broke out, hurriedly
and in a faltering voice, "I must have
some money—at leust $200."
"I wonder where you will get it?"
Henry rejoined. "You will not get an
other dollar from me—that is certain.
\\ hy should I toil here and economize
in order to furnish you with funds to be
lost, at the gaming table?"
"If I do not get this money," said
Tom, turning very pale, "I shali have to
leave the country."
"A good thing for the country, then,"
snapped Henry. "Don't let me interfere
with your traveling plans."
Tom seemed to fall all to pieces at
this reply. He made one more effort.
"I hope you are not hard up your
self?" he said.
"I was never getting along better,"
responded the merchant, "but that has
nothing to do with the case."
He pulled open the door of the iron
wife and pointed to a little tin box.
"Do you see that?" he asked. "Well,
that box contains 20 crisp SSOO bank
notes. I drew the money from thel>ank
to-day for an. investment. No, Tom, I
am prospering, but I am tired of your
endless drain upon my purse. It must
slop, and now is the time."
Henry rose from his chair and went
into a little closet for his overcoat.
In an instant, before a man could
count three seconds, Tom had drawn
the flat tin box from the safe and
slipped it into the breast of his heavy
overcoat.
His brother slowly emerged from the
closet and put on his overcout. Then hq
closed the door of the safe with a click,
"I am ready to go," he said. "Yon
have no further business with me, I
presume?"
"No, sir," Tom responded, with a pale,
determined face. "Neither now nor
later; good-by."
"Goo<l-by, old fellow," said Henry,
with a yawn.
Tom walked out of the store without
another word, banging the door after
him.
"I know him," soliloquized the mer
chant. "He will not leave here. He will
be here to-morrow with a new proposi
tion. Perhaps, after all, I had better
look into his affairs and give him an
other Ciha-noe."
He walked slowly out of the store and
locked the door. A glance up and down
the street showed him that Tom was
not In sight, and he then quietly made
his way to his home and straightway
went to bed.
After leaving the store Tom fugged
the tin box to his breast and walked at
a rapid pace.
"It was an awful thing to do," lie
muttered, "but I had to have money,
nnd I helped to make some of it for my
lucky brother."
The young man sped onward through
the deserted streets of Paineville until
lie reached the river. Ho crossed the
bridge and started up the hill on the
other side.
His plan was plain enough, nc was
going to the railroad station to take the
train for New York.
Suddenly he pulled up with a jerk.
He took the box from under his coat.
"Hang it!" he exclaimed. "I must
have been mad. lam no thief, and I
will cut my throat.Lelore I will become
one. There is but one thing to do. I
will return the box back to my brother,
confess my folly atul then leave him
forever."
He turned and retraced his steps.
When he reached_tihe bridge he paused
a moment and looked into the dark
waters below.
"I may find peace there," he said,
gloomily.
lie leaned over the railing and listened
to the swift-rolling current.
"My Godl" he cried. "The box—the
box!"
It had slipped through his fingers,
and already the rushing waters were
carrying it far from him.
For a few moments Tom ran in the di
rection of his brother's house and then
wheeled about and ran back to the
bridge. Ilis first impulse was to throw
himself into the liver.
"I am a fool 1" he cried. "Suicide will
not restore the money. I must be a
man now if there is any manhood in
me!"
Across the river and over the hill
into the thick darkness of the niglit
the guilty fugitive fled. Mile after
mile he walked like a madman. The
lights of the city disappeared from view,
and Tom found himself wandering in
an unfamiliar locality.
Again the river came in sight, and the
wretched man decided to follow its
course. He would go anywhere, to get
beyond his brother's reach, and the
eyes of those who knew him.
Thus the light of day found him,
but It was not likely that anyone along
the river side would recognize him.
There were few dwellings, and the peo
ple he met were farmers, who were not
disposed to be unpleasantly inquisitive.
So the half-crazed man. rushed on
through the day, till, ut nightfall, he
limped wearily into a small seaport
town.
Henry Dyson made every effort to find
his missing brother. When he thought
of the pained look in Tom's eyes the
night the jx>or fellow left, he re
prouehed himself for nllowing him to
go away without a kind word of en
couragement.
Ilenry Dyson engaged detectives, and
the newspapers published an account of
Tom's mysterious disappearance. But
it was of no avail. There was no trace,
no clew, and, after a year or two, the
merchant enine to the conclusion that
his brother was a dead man.
Henry Dyson continued to prosper.
He married happily, and, in the course
of time, little children came to make his
home still brighter.
Twenty years had rolled away, when,
one night, the merchant found himself
alone in his ofiico, writing a letter.
As he leaned back in his chair, to take
a moment's rest, he thought of the
night, a score of years before, when
Tom visdted him there, to make a last
appeal. Tears came into the rich man's
eyes.
"He was my own brother," he sobbed,
"and 1 acted like a brute. How easy it
would have been for me to pay his lit
tle debts. Then I could have watched
over him, and, in time, my love would
have touched his heart, and he would
have turned out all right. But it is too
late now to think of those days."
The door opened with hardly a creak,
and the merchant would not have
known, it but for the rush of cool air.
lie rose from his chair just in time to
greet a visitor, who walked into the
ofllce without even u knock on the door
to herald his approach.
Henry Dyson looked upon him in
speechless astonishment. If lie could
trust his eyes, this was Tom Dyson, but
not the Tom of 20 years ago. lie was
an old man, with a wrinkled face and
white hair.
"Brother," said the visitor, holding
out his hund, "are you glad to see me?"
With a joyous exclamation the other
caught him in his embrace, and then
sealed him in a chair.
"This is a glad hour for me, Tom,"
he said. "I hud given you up for dead,
and I have, all these years, been re
proaching myself for my harshness
to you that night, you know."
"Hold on!" cried the other, excited
ly. "you must not overwhelm me with
kindness until I have made restitution.
Here, in this package, you will find the
sum I took from the safe in the little
tin box. It. lias taken me these 20 years
to make it, but here it is at last."
"But I do not understand," interrupt
ed Ilenry,
"Oh, but you must," replied his
brother. "When you turned away to
get your coat that niglit, I slipped the
box out of the safe and concealed it-
Then you closed the safe, unconscious
of your loss, and 1 left you."
"But the box was empty!" shouted
Ilcnry.
"Impossible!" answered Tom, "for
you told me that it contained SIO,OOO.
Well, I rushed off with the box, but
repented, and was on my way to return
it when I carelessly let it into the
water when I crossed the river. Now
you know why I ran away and con
cealed myself. I had but one object—
to make enough money to pay you
back, and then I would ask your for
giveness."
"Oh, liow foolish!"said Ilenry. "Why,
man, I found in the morning that my
book keeper had taken, the money from
the box and carried it back to the bank
that afternoon, when he found that 1
was not going to use it until the next
day. 1 missed the empty box, but I
never connected that with your disap
pea ran.ee."
"Then this money—"
"Is yours," said Ilenry. "But, even
if you had lost my money, aa you sup
posed, you should have come back to
me. I sometimes talked roughly to
you, but you ought to have known how
I loved you, Tom."
The two wli'te-liaired inen sat. there
till midnight, talking al>out old times
and making their plans for the future.
"You must live with me, Tom," said
Henry, as he took him home. "I can't
trust you out of my sight again."
And Tom gave his promise, rejoiced
that his reformation had brought, about
a reconciliation with his brother.—N.

WONDERFUL TRESSES.
£an Francisco l.iuly Who Has Over Six
Feet of llair.
Mrs. D. J. Davis, of San Francisco,
Cal., has the longest hair in the world.
It clusters in a great mass about her
head, and though she is a tall woman,
being live feet nine inches in height,
her long tresses, when uncoiled, sweep
upon the ground for nearly a foot. Her
hair is just six feet and eight in cues
in length.
Mrs. Davis eomes of a family remark
able alike for tlieir height and the
length of their hair. Though Mrs. Davis
is live feet and nine incites in height,
site is shorter by nearly an incli than
either of her three sisters. But while
they have tlie advantage in height, they
cannot equal her in the matter of hair,
notwithstanding that nil three have
curls over a yard and a half long. Not
the least remarkable part of this won
derful hirsute development is that
while all three of Mrs. Davis' sisters had
long hair from early childhood, the
young lady herself could never induce
her tresses to fall below her shoulders,
so that it is only within the past years
that they have developed such a ten
eney to eclipse I'aderewski's shaggy
mane.
But it is not surprising that Mrs.
Davis and her sisters should have such
a "crowning glory" to boast of. for the
mother of this interesting family had
hair that dangled five feet from the
crown of her head. Mrs. Davis seems to
have lived all her life among long-haired
people, for her sister-in-law, with whom
she now resides at the Union hotel
in the Potrero. has over four feet of
hair, and her niece, a little girl scarcely
three years old, has a braid 21 inches in
length, which she succeeds daily in
tangling badly, and for whjcli she as
regularly does penance when the comb
is applied.
"I never brush my hair," said Mrs.
Davis, as she removed those long coral
pins that held great coils in place about
her head so that her hair might be
measured, "for the reason that 1 do not
believe it is good for the hair. In fact.

stop.
