ENGLISH ETCHINGS. The British Eleventh hussars nro known us "The Clierry l'lckers" on ac count of the crimson overalls they have worn since 1840. Two ladles have conceived the novel Idea of utilizing a houseboat for the sale of light refreshments on the Thames at Windsor. Oaths were constantly heard In soci ety In London a hundred years ago. With the introduction of golf they are again becoming fashionable. The largest oyster ever found on British shores was dredged up off Chrlstchureh bead.

Among the very useful articles upon which one may lavish embroidery are sofa cushions. One of the prettiest ways to ornament a cushion Is with ribbon work. This kind of embroid ery Is done more successfully in France than anywhere else, but ns it is possible to purchase the French rib bons in this country we ought to learn to do the work. These ribbons are very soft, so that even those an inch or more wide are readily carried in a wide eyed needle. The apple blossoms on this cushion are in ribbon, the stems and leaves In RIBBON WORK SOFA CUSHION. full embroidery. The petals of the flowers are laid In single stitches. As the ribbon is drawn through it natural ly gathers in little folds, which give the crinkled effect of the natural flow er. It is necessary to be sure that the pucker at both ends of the petals turns down toward the ground material; oth erwise the effect is not obtained. A very few tacking stitches may be necessary, but ns far as possible tliese should lie avoided, for they destroy the crlspness of the petal, which is so placed as the ribbon is drawn through that it will lie properly. The embroidery ribbons are shaded, the gradation running lengthwise. For this reason each pet al should be placed the same way of the ribbon in order that the light shall appear to come from the same direc tion on all. The shading of these rib bons is most dnluty. The stamens secure the ribbon blos soms very nicely at the center. They should be worked in radiating stitches nnd French knots in yellow filo floss directly through the ribbon. The con trast between these ribbon blossoms and the embroidered leaves is very pretty. The way in which the em bossed design of the damask ground Is allowed to ornament the center is also a pretty feature of this pillow.—Col lier's Weekly. Single Ilfdn. Sanitarians have long advocated the universal use of single beds, and to.tliis is now urged, notably by those who study ways nnd means to preserve mental and nervous health, that as much as possible persons should room alone; this chiefly because of the tendency among Americans to overso ciability. We respond so quickly to any sort of companionship that it is only by occasionally shunning every body that we shut oif ull nervous drain. In some of the women's col leges the solitary half hour is a daily requirement that is still insisted upon and Is certainly a most commendable habit to cultivate among energetic college girls. In an address not long ago to a graduating class of teachers the speaker laid strong emphasis upon this very practical point. "Have enough society when you want it," she said, "but have a room entirely your own to which when you feel the need you can go and close the door." nesting the Feet. Some women know by instinct how nearly the nerves of their feet are re lated to the nerves of their hearts, stomachs and brains, and Mine. Calve Is one of them. When anxiety and hard work press upon her, she puts off slippers and stockings. Letting her feet breathe is what she calls sitting a long hour wriggling her pink toes de lightedly in the sun or running up and down the room to stretch the soles. After this she lies down and has her maid gently chafe the bottoms of her feet till she drops into a deep sleep, whence she comes soothed and vigor ous for any amount of work. A Iluuliieim Woman. One of the most remarkable women In Great Britain resides at Swansea. Miss Dillwyn has written successful novels, acted as a reviewer, carried out the duties of a farm bailiff and is now the partner in a flourishing spelter business. She walks three miles to business every morning and remains at her office daily from 1) in the morn ing until 5 in the evening. She is a member of the school board and chair woman of the hospital committee. Cure of Urunhru und ComllH. A girl's iden of neatness is sometimes like the ostrich's idea of concealment he will hide his head in the sand and rest la the comfort that lie has eluded observation. Often girls who wash their hair persistently give never a thought to the care of the brushes and combs. A specialist says that hair brushes should be washed once a week at least, and if used on hair in which there is much dandruff twice a week is not too often. An Individual Omrlct. A delicious individual omelet is a change from the eternal fried and poached eggs. Beat five eggs well; add six tablespoonfuls of milk and a little salt; pour into a very hot but tered spider nnd ns soon as set cut in quarters and fold each over like a tiny omelet. This quantity will serve four people. TALKING RIVERS. 4. Game* by Which Yon May ICeep Posted on Geography. Some of our boys and girls perhaps would rather have a big game of romps outdoors than stay indoors and play. On the other hand, some of them would rather stay indoors than play outside. Tlint is natural, of course, for we cannot expect them all to feel ullke. So here is a game which you can play either in the house or out of doors and which is instructive and amusing at the game time. It will entertain a parlor full of young people in the even ing just as much as It will a group of "boys or girls who want to play in the open air. First, appoint a leader, who starts the game by assigning to each player a country. To No. 1, we'll say, he as signs the United Slates; to No. 2, Eng land; to No. 3, Scotland; to No. 4, die land; to No. 5, Germany; to No. 0. liussla, and so on until every player has a country. When that has been done, the play ers should refrain from tulking for awhile, so that they may do u little thinking, and you know very well that if you keep on talking to each other there will be no cliance to think. But when the thinking is over you may talk as much as you please. The thinking is to be a little test of your knowledge of geography, for the leader is going to call on you, skipping about from one to another, and when you are called you have to rise and give the name of a river In the country that you represent. For example, the lender says, "Let us hear from Germany," and the play er to whom Germany lias been as signed rises and says, "My name is Rhine, and I am a river of Germany." Now, as you cannot tell when you may be called on, you must think of your rivers as soon after you get your country as possible, and that Is why you must not talk for a little while. The game may be made a little more interesting if the leader will assign to the players countries that are not so well known as those we have men tioned. It may bo varied by using the states of the pnion instead of coun tries and towns instead of rivers.—New York Ilerald. Willie's dollies.

Now, the only thing Willie could do (Between me and the gatepost and you) Was to have a suit made Of rubber and braid That stretched every way that lie grew. The Singing Mouse. The power of song among the brute crgatlon has so long been associated in our uiinds with the feathered tribe alone that we do not think of it us be longing to uny four footed animals, yet there is a mouse that sings—why, no body knows. It is u small animal with very large ears, which are moved about much while singing, as if that were neces sary to the success of the vocal per formance. The song Is not, as you might think, a prolonged squeak with variations, but a succession of clear, warbling notes, with trills not unlike the song of a canary and quite as beautiful, though sonic of the notes are much lower. One great peculiarity Is a sort of double song, an air, with accompani ment quite subdued. Upon first hear ing this one believes that he is listeu ing to more than one mouse, so perfect is the illusion. So, you see, the birds are not the only singers, that this little mouse can do better than some of them nnd that if it should ever come to live In our houses there would be no use of keeping cana ries.—W. 11. Wnrrull in Indianapolis News. Giant Sonli Hubbies. Take a lump chimney, one which is straight up and down, dip one end in to a solution of soap and water until a flat disk of film covers the end. Blow gently till the bubble is started; then remove the chimney about two Inches from the lips and continue blowing gently. In this way giant bubbles can be blown without exhausting the blow er. The addition of a little glycerin to the soap and water Is very advanta geous.
